City Pull by Iron-Head Kid

"Shoot! Where are the crossbows? Shoot him with all your arrows! Don't let that Troll get near the city gate!" Brant roared.

The Archer drew their bows and fired, but when the arrows struck the Troll, they could only weakly glide across their armor, failing to even leave a scratch.

But some Heavy Crossbow Bolt bolts are quite powerful!

A 1-meter-long, 2.3-pound pure steel arrow requires three people to work together to draw the bow and shoot it accurately.

There is almost no doubt about it.

This is the most powerful defensive weapon in version 1.0. These Heavy Crossbow Bolt, which are beyond human resistance, can completely crush the enemy like candied hawthorns...

If this thing were imbued with Magic, it would be an absolute Divine Artifact.

Ten Giant Crossbow Bolt were simultaneously aimed at the Troll that was accelerating its rampage.

Boom...

Buzzing...

The bowstring, crafted from Magical Beast, trembled violently.

Ten powerful steel arrows, accompanied by visible swirling air currents, arrived beside the Troll in the blink of an eye.

But at the same time.

Lotner, Alec, Eric, and the newly joined Half-Elf Lord, Christian, the commander of the Fearless Legion, all appeared simultaneously from behind the Troll, each wielding a super heavy shield and blocking their path.

Bang bang bang...

The three steel arrows, originally intended to hit the Troll, simultaneously sent the three figures flying more than ten meters away, even causing them to Bleed from their mouths. However, the Troll were not hit by a single arrow and continued their charge without hindrance!

Seeing that the Heavy Crossbow Bolt were too late, Brant could only clench his fists and stare intently at the area below the city gate.

All I heard was...

Thud...

The city gate, originally reinforced with steel, was smashed open, leaving a huge gap large enough for a person to walk through.

Then.

Iron-Head Kid, sporting his now-distorted Epic-Class helmet, crashed heavily to the ground, foaming at the mouth...

"All troops, attack! Take the city walls!" Lotner slowly stood up from the ground, coughing up blood as he roared. Although the specially made heavy shield was not pierced by the heavy arrows, the force was too great, causing him serious internal injuries.

But now it was all worth it.

The fact that such an impregnable city gate was breached was enough to declare that the Military Fortress had been captured.

A few stones and heavy arrows will no longer be a problem.

William, who was already below the city gate, leaped over it and saw several unfortunate men severely injured by the shattered gate.

The other dozen or so soldiers hadn't even come to their senses yet.

They were all puzzled; the war hadn't even started yet!

There were no shouts yet from the city walls.

How come the city gates were breached first? Were the guys on the city walls eating shit?

This is ridiculous!

However, when they saw that William, alone, had already broken into the city, they, with their high level of military skill, immediately drew their swords and attacked.

"Trash!" William clenched his fist and slammed it forward at the soldier who charged the furthest. Before his Blade Light could even land, the soldier's head was deformed by the punch, his feet were suddenly thrown forward and left hanging in the air, before he crashed heavily to the ground.

"Kill them!" People kept coming to support from the city wall.

William, wielding his newly forged Epic-Class Thunder Longsword, charged forward without hesitation.

He raised his hand and with a single sword stroke, severed the weapon of the soldier directly in front of him, splitting his body and armor in two as well. Blood sprayed into the air, inspiring a sense of terror.

Just then, someone attacked from the left. William turned and delivered a powerful kick, instantly shattering the enemy's Battle Aura Shield. The enemy was sent flying backward, crashing into the city wall, his head striking the wall, and died unexpectedly...

Dozens of Warrior surrounded William, and a Soul Shockwave suddenly exploded from him.

Dozens of figures flew backwards, like celestial maidens scattering flowers, knocking the reinforcements behind them to their knees.

Even though the move wasn't particularly fatal, many people felt dizzy, as if their souls had just left their bodies...

Upon witnessing this scene, the Warrior of the other Steel Duchy all felt a sense of panic.

The Dawn City Lord before them was like a Tyrannosaur, rampaging recklessly without firing a single arrow. It was utterly ridiculous; he was no respectable Ranger at all, he didn't play by the rules...

Brant watched helplessly as William wreaked havoc inside the city gates.

He was powerless to stop it, for three thousand Shield Warrior had already brought Siege Ladder to the city gate.

What's even more chilling is that these well-armored fellows are all Elf, or even Half-Elf!!!

Stones can be easily dodged, and even if one cannot dodge heavy arrows, there will not be too many casualties.

Because their equipment was all gleaming silver, as if it were all coated with Mithril, it was difficult for his Archer to seriously injure an enemy, even when they used Battle Aura arrows.

Furthermore, these guys all have shields, Heavy Crossbow Bolt aren't very effective; they can't even string candied hawthorns together...

"Elf, Half-Elf, three whole Legion! How am I supposed to fight them?" Brant cursed inwardly.

Boom boom boom.

The heavy footsteps sounded again.

An even more outrageously equipped Troll, protected by Shield Warrior, arrived below the city gate. Wielding Spiked Club that shone with a dazzling green light, it began smashing the city gate repeatedly!

In just a few dozen moments.

The breach in the city gate continued to widen.

Some Shield Warrior frantically poured into the city gates to fight alongside their lord.

at the same time.

There were also some extremely powerful soldiers—yes, soldiers...

With a few quick leaps on the Siege Ladder, they reached the top of the city wall and began slaughtering the enemy.

Oh, these more powerful ones are all Elf captains. Their levels aren't that high, only around level 40 or 50, but their bloodlines are high— High-Class and Grandmaster are commonplace...

That moment.

Brant was utterly heartbroken.

He didn't even have the desire to make a move...

But the soldier beside him swallowed hard, pointed to the warehouse behind them, and said, "Sir, burn the warehouse down and retreat through the secret passage at the back."

Brant turned to look at his Personal Guard, narrowed his eyes, and decisively pierced through the Personal Guard had followed him for many years with a single sword Pierce. Ignoring the astonished and terrified looks of the soldiers around him, he suddenly roared, "The Steel Duchy is unjust, abusing Commoners and slaves, and wantonly slaughtering Nobles! I, Brant, will lead my men to join the Dawn Lord!"

That moment.

Brant leaped down to the foot of the city wall, shoved aside several soldiers who were in his way, and knelt on one knee before William with a fawning expression. "Brant, commander of the Thirteenth Legion of the Steel Duchy, welcomes Your Lord into the city."

His voice was very loud.

He used his Battle Aura to Pierce half the battlefield.

In an instant.

Many Warrior, bewildered, stopped fighting.

William, carrying a blood-stained longsword, slowly approached him, tilting his head. "Very well, but I don't like traitors."

Swish!

A streak of blue sword light flashed diagonally, instantly shattering the Battle Aura Shield that had just appeared!

Brant's eyes were filled with terror, and his face contorted as he tried to back away.

But William grabbed his arm and slammed him head-on.

Brant's nose bled profusely, and his dizzy head tilted back.

Sizzle.

Another streak of green Ghostlight flashed by.

The Venomous Shortsword, imbued with the Light of Dawn, severed his neck in an instant.

A head, flesh and all, slowly slammed to the ground, blood gushing from the headless corpse...

Brant, with tens of thousands of HP, died within seconds of this fatal throat-slitting attack, his eyes wide open in disbelief...

"So, anyone who doesn't wear a helmet and neck protector just to show off is an idiot."

William raised an eyebrow, then looked at the other dumbfounded soldiers, pointed his sword at them, and said, "Point out the guy who used the Heavy Crossbow Bolt, and I'll spare your lives!"

As one soldier threw down his weapon in surprise and doubt, the others followed suit, dropping their swords and pointing out the dozens of unfortunate men.

William brandished his longsword; with a series of swift, flashing Sword Qi, dozens of heads fell to the ground.

"I'll spare your lives, but you'd all have to get back to mining!" William roared, officially announcing the complete change of the Military Fortress flag of the Steel Duchy.

"Damn it, it's always the Elf who fight outnumbered. You Steel Duchy really look down on the Elf, huh?" William curled his lip. This Military Fortress was just as he had imagined; it would be taken down extremely easily.

He especially hadn't expected that there would be a legion Legion Commander had surrendered...

The key to their swift defeat was that humanity had not fought a war with the Elf for far too long and had long forgotten how powerful the former rulers of the continent had been.
