Attack! Morton's Nightmare and Rebirth (3)

"Boom boom boom boom..." The solid ground suddenly shattered, and thousands of earth spikes burst out. The earth spikes were extremely fast, piercing the ground and the abdomens of the Zerglings simultaneously. Under this war magic, the Zerglings finally began to die in large numbers. Over thirteen hundred earth spikes took the lives of over fifteen hundred Zerglings!

The earth spikes did not stop after one wave. One after another, they continuously emerged from the ground, spreading outwards from the city gate and walls! From the sky, the leveled ground was immediately covered with sharp earth spikes!

Even the Zerglings that were not impaled could no longer attack as quickly as before. The ground was uneven and covered with earth spikes, leaving them nowhere to step!

"Attacking a human city? I will teach him respect and fear in this war!" Warwick said arrogantly as he watched the Zerglings being continuously pierced by the earth spikes.

The earth spikes spread out for five hundred meters, and no less than ten thousand Zerglings died on them. Combined with the arrow rain, the hundred thousand Zerglings had lost over twenty thousand before they even reached the city gate.

Ye Luo, however, remained expressionless. Although it had only been ten days, twenty thousand Zerglings were no longer a threat to him...

"Ye Di, Ye Ci! Prepare to attack!"

The Path of Thorns extended earth spikes across the ground. The earth spikes in front of the city gate began to dissipate, transforming into earth elemental energy. The Zerglings seized this opportunity, displaying their excellent jumping abilities. Although deaths continued, they finally approached the city walls.

"Pitiful insects, how do you plan to attack the city? Will you gnaw down our walls with your teeth, piece by piece?" Warwick taunted, looking at the Zerglings standing stunned below the city walls.

"Boom boom boom!" Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred!

Sharp spikes suddenly emerged from the city walls, which were built from polished stones from the mountain!

These spikes were different from the earth spikes. They were pure white, over three meters long, massive, and incredibly sharp! And they were not unfamiliar to Warwick and Barrit! Because if it weren't for these very spikes ten days ago, they would have succeeded in annihilating Ye Luo!

Warwick's heart sank, and the smile and mockery on his face stiffened. "These damned magical beasts, do they think they can destroy the city walls with earth spikes?"

"Swish, swish swish..." Earth spikes continuously emerged from the city walls, with no discernible pattern. However, as more and more earth spikes, contrary to their usual behavior, did not disappear but remained in place, Zerglings immediately jumped onto the spikes and easily hopped between them!

"Infantry! Defend the city walls and don't let these damned magical beasts get up here!!!" Even a fool could see the intentions of these magical beasts now. Warwick clenched his fist and roared. Soldiers holding large shields and wearing black iron armor immediately rushed to the edge of the city walls!

"Boom!" An earth spike erupted from the ground three meters below the city wall. The fastest charging Zergling leaped up, bent its thick legs, and then, like an arrow, leaped over the three-meter distance, soaring over the heads of the well-prepared and already charging infantry, landing on the city wall!

"Clang! Clang! Puchi puchi!" As soon as the Zergling landed, it was met with dozens of blades. Five or six long swords, gleaming with cold light, struck the Zergling, but it was like chopping an iron shield. The two strongest soldiers managed to break through the Zergling's armor defense, but they exhausted their strength and could not inflict substantial damage. However, the remaining five or six weapons, surrounded by black fighting spirit, fiercely pierced the Zergling's body, dismembering it instantly!

"Boom boom boom..." Although this Zergling died swiftly, it signaled the Zergling's assault on the city walls!

Earth spikes appeared two to three meters below the city walls. This position ensured that the Zerglings could jump onto the city walls and also that when they jumped onto these spikes, they would not be immediately attacked by the soldiers on the walls. Then, like descending from the heavens, black figures continuously leaped over the city walls.

"Defend, defend, defend!" The captains, commanders, and deputy generals responsible for each section of the city wall roared continuously. As soon as a Zergling leaped up, it was immediately chopped into pieces. However, as more and more Zerglings swarmed up, the Zerglings finally began to counterattack.

As one Zergling leaped up, two more agile ones behind it leaped up following its trajectory.

The first Zergling landed, and five surrounding soldiers fiercely stabbed its body with swords infused with fighting spirit, severing its head. The other two landed with a crash. At this moment, the surrounding soldiers' swords were still stuck in the first Zergling's body, and they hadn't had time to pull them out!

"Roar roar!" With furious roars, the Zerglings immediately began to wreak havoc. Their sharp foreclaws, one left and one right, easily pierced the iron armor on the chests of two soldiers, digging out their internal organs. Their mouths bit down on a soldier's leg, lifting him upside down and flinging him away!

In the blink of an eye, two Zerglings had taken down five soldiers. Due to the continuous influx of Zerglings, the ratio of soldiers to Zerglings changed from over a dozen to one to five or six to one. The deaths of these five soldiers immediately increased the pressure on the other soldiers. Most crucially, taking advantage of this opportunity, four or five Zerglings leaped up simultaneously. Using them as footholds, the Zerglings finally gained a foothold on the city wall.

"Damn it, Third Squad, immediately reinforce Second Squad, Third Squad..." A company commander watched as over a dozen Zerglings continuously expanded their foothold and immediately began to mobilize superior forces. However, at this moment, a red Zergling descended from the sky with a roar, biting off his head!

The speed at which the city wall fell was beyond Warwick's imagination. Under these haphazard spikes, the towering city walls could no longer provide them with any sense of security!

Warwick gritted his teeth. "Open the city gate! Cavalry, charge with me!"

Warwick leaped down from the city wall and mounted a tall horse. Inside the city walls, five thousand cavalry were already prepared!

"Push open the city gate!" Warwick shouted, simultaneously strapping on a heavy armor weighing fifty to sixty pounds. The original weight of one hundred and fifty to sixty pounds, plus another fifty to sixty pounds, yet the warhorse beneath him showed no abnormality... It was truly remarkable how much weight the warhorse could bear!

The soldiers on both sides of the city gate removed the thick, bucket-sized crossbars behind the gate. Seven soldiers on each side of the city gate fiercely pulled on the huge bronze rings... "Clang!" With immense force applied, the bronze rings groaned under the strain, yet the massive gate remained motionless!

"This..." The soldiers guarding the gate were stunned. They were usually the ones responsible for opening and closing the gate, so no one knew better than them how much force was needed to open it. Today, in front of the legion commander, and with their new performance, they had exerted more than double their usual strength, yet the massive iron gate seemed to be fixed in its frame!
