Hurlonath felt that the enemy was deliberately targeting him, trying to make him die here once.
But he had overestimated his own status.
He was merely a Dreadlord who raised horses, not Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in Heaven. What qualified him to be singled out?
If Herad had not wanted to test the plant army and see whether it could surround and kill a Dreadlord,
Ulthalesh would have taken his head long ago!
Dreadlords were fairly powerful combat units within the Burning Legion.
Although they were renowned for their skill at schemes and intrigue,
if their combat strength were actually ranked, they stood just below Pit Lords.
Many powerful Dreadlords could reach the level of a demigod.
If the plant army could surround and kill a Dreadlord, its combat strength would be truly vicious!
The castle looked ancient, but its defenses were formidable.
Its heavy gates were closed immediately and barricaded tight.
The spore-infested demon cavalry slammed into them without making them budge.
Each demon cavalry unit weighed a little over three tons.
The force of their impact at a full-speed charge was easy to imagine!
Ordinary cars and SUVs certainly could not compare!
Yet these impacts, fiercer than a battering ram, only left shallow dents in the heavy brass gates.
Seeing that they could not break through the gates, the Mushroom Men soon came up with another method.
They fired indiscriminately into the sky above the castle, lobbing their wooden bullets roughly inside.
When Herad saw this, he realized he had underestimated these chubby humanoid mushrooms.
This method of lobbing bullets was called Overhead Fire.
Overhead Fire was a technique developed by German Army machine gunners during World War II.
They fired their machine guns skyward at a certain angle, making the bullets land roughly within the target area.
