However, after Adula breathed fire from the sky, most of the traps had been ruined beyond recognition.
Although Ranni had only sent one Glintstone Dragon as support, Adula was no ordinary opponent.
"They really mobilized everything they had."
Heathcliff watched the puppets and execution carts continuously pouring in from all around, and his head began to ache.
Someone leaked information.
That was already obvious. Therefore, the enemy's desperate resistance had basically been anticipated.
The remnants of Smiling Coffin held out from the buildings ahead, while the academy's magical guards kept harassing them from the flanks. The Strategy Group was instantly caught in the predicament of being attacked from both sides.
"Split up!" Heathcliff decisively ordered. "Kiriko, take a team and clear out the mages in the left corridor! Asuna, the guards on the right flank and those rats are yours! The main force will break through the central hall with me!"
"Understood!" Asuna and Kiriko answered at the same time.
Heathcliff took on the task of leading the assault himself.
Asuna and Kiriko nodded, each leading a team from the Strategy Group toward opposite sides...
Breakthrough
Although they had visited the academy twice before, the heavily fortified campus was truly difficult to assault.
Compared to Stormveil Castle, this battle was an even tougher fight.
This time, they had to face not only their original enemies, but all manner of traps as well.
At this moment, every player also received a special notification.
They had now entered "Siege Battle" mode.
Even more Smiling Coffin members were flooding in.
But Smiling Coffin was in a difficult spot too, because a flying dragon was circling overhead.
"Damn flying dragon—!"
Adula kept circling through the sky, occasionally swooping down to breathe fire.
That gave the Knights of the Blood an opening to push inside.
