And these frogmen also started to fight back. They threw out the spears in their hands. When the dense spears cut through the sky, they actually penetrated dozens of soldiers on the city wall instantly.

"That's not right, that's not right." King Vinese murmured, "Why can these frogmen still stand up?"

What he didn't know was that although the deep-sea priests refused to participate in the war, in exchange for a relative compromise, they gave Sparta some secret medicines. These secret medicines could activate the powerful vitality in Fishman Body in a short period of time, making them difficult to kill.

Although the side effects of this secret medicine are extremely serious, as long as the murlocs who have used it will die violently afterwards, these frogmen are considered cannon fodder, and they will die violently, and Sparta doesn't care.

When the soldiers on the city wall saw this, some of them were so frightened that they trembled, "Gods above, what kind of terrible Monster is this? They... they can't be killed."

King Vinese noticed that a certain frogman's wound penetrated by an arrow was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the frogman whose face was penetrated by an arrow stopped moving and quickly shouted:

"Warriors, these Monster are not invincible. Just shoot them in the head and they will fall completely."

Then he asked the archers to shoot arrows again, and this time they aimed at the heads of these tidal creatures Monster.

Even though they were so far apart, based on probability, quite a few frogmen were still shot in the head.

They really fell down this time and never got up again.

Violent cheers came from the city wall, but King Vinese's frown did not relax.

The frogmen did not go straight to the path leading to the gate, but scattered.

They got off the moat, approached the city wall at a faster speed, and used their mucous-secreting palms to cling to the cracks in the wall. They used the corpse as a base to set up a bone siege ladder, and hooked the siege tower and climbing ladder onto the city wall with sharp hooks.

Then, the murloc army began to march slowly. There was a huge murloc Monster in each square, but it was much smaller than those sea beasts.

It is as big as two giant bears, looks like a centaur, but has the face of a rhinoceros.

It does not have four limbs, but four hooves and four limbs and arms instead. It has a war drum on its chest, and its four hands keep hammering. For a while, the battlefield drum sound is loud.

Some frogman cannon fodder had already climbed up the city wall along the city ladder and started fighting with these soldiers. Although they looked stupid, their fighting power was extraordinary. Each frogman cannon fodder could take at least one soldier's life before dying.

"Quick, push down these ladders!" King Vinese shouted

"What to do with those siege towers?"

"Don't worry about it. Pull out these siege ladders first."

The soldiers then quickly rushed to the siege ladders, and these siege ladders were successfully pulled out, even though a pile of frogmen and human corpses fell on the wall.

But before they could take a breath, they had already discovered that the huge turtle was moving forward quickly, and its target was their city gate.

"No, they want to use that huge sea monster to directly break through the city gate. Shoot quickly."

There was a clanking sound, and the huge turtle shell blocked all attacks. Even if a lot of fire oil was poured on it, it was of no avail. The thick moss on its shell seemed to have the effect of preventing fire, but black smoke was rising from the shell;

Even though the arm and head were shot, it was like being accidentally stung by a cactus, only making a painful sound.

Sparta, who was on the turtle shell, had already jumped to the ground and stood far away without moving forward. Even the murlocs' advance had stopped.

"Good opportunity, open the city gate quickly and send out cavalry to kill that giant turtle." King Vinese seized the opportunity and ordered loudly, and then he would personally lead the cavalry out of the city to attack.

"King Vinese." A nearby minister admonished, "You are the commander of the kingdom, you must not take the lead."

But King Vinese felt like he was back on the battlefield a few years ago. He was filled with pride. If he could personally lead his men to kill the giant turtle, his reputation would be written into poetry by bards and be praised forever.

But I heard the advice of this close minister again...

Indeed, if he dies, the city will collapse without attack, and then the entire southern kingdom composed of leaders will fall apart.

After pondering for a while, he hummed helplessly, "Okay then."

The minister was overjoyed, and without waiting for King Vinese's order, he asked a general nearby to lead the cavalry out of the city to attack the giant turtle.

The city gate was slowly pushed open, and eight hundred cavalry formed a formation of arrows, rapidly attacking the giant turtle.

The triangular armor-piercing guns formed a continuous cold light during the sprint. They were like fearless warriors, shouting loudly and sprinting forward. Looking down from the air, the formation looked like a sharp long sword, and the tip of the sword flashed with a deadly cold light.

The giant turtle stood there without any fear. It waved its front paws and slapped these armored warriors holding spears. And this method really worked. The dozen or so armored warriors in front were instantly shot away, and they were instantly turned upside down.

But the cavalry behind them didn't care about their compatriots in front. They avoided the men and horses rolling down in front and continued to attack the turtle in all directions.

Soon, they launched a charge, then slowly retreated to form a formation, and then continued to charge. After several repetitions, nearly a hundred cavalrymen lost their lives. The giant turtle was seriously injured after all. Three of its legs were stabbed alive by the cavalry, and several spears were pierced through its eyes.

The turtle screamed loudly, and the scream resounded throughout the world. Then blue blood like a lake gushed out from its body, and it stopped moving.

The cavalrymen raised their spears and cheered loudly, and the blood-stained flags were placed on the turtle carcasses and made a hunting sound.

These cavalrymen know that they will be respected and praised by the world in the future, will be written into legends, and will be respected by future generations.

But soon the cavalry heard three short and one long horn blasts coming from the city wall, which was a signal to immediately close the city in case of an ambush.

They turned around, the city gate behind them was slowly closing, and countless fishmen emerged from the moat, blocking their retreat.

It turned out that those fishmen had been quietly hiding in the moat along the river, just waiting for them to appear and cut off their escape route.

But why did King Vinese close the city gate?

Why do they do this when they are so mobile?

A rider couldn't help but think anxiously.

Soon he found the reason.

Dozens of water columns exploded as the mud on the ground surged, each of which was entangled with colorful sea snakes as thick as an adult oak tree.

Their bodies kept flapping and entwining the cavalry.

The murloc team behind them also took the opportunity to attack together.

"The end..., the end is coming!" The soldiers on the city wall looked at this scene in despair.
