351 – Rebellion


Radiances surged atop the city wall as priests of the temple of the Meheecan River cast divine spells and entered the warriors fighting fiercely atop the city wall.


Warriors. .h.i.t by the radiances received a boost in strength, agility and other statuses, and their fighting strength more than doubled.


Hit by the radiances, wounded warriors quickly healed.


An army with priests was at least five times as strong as an army without priests, and ten times as strong in a prolonged fight.


With the help of divine power, priests not only employed healing divine spells superior to Wizards, but also employed offensive divine spells with tremendous might. Of course, the offensive divine spells could only be mastered by high-ranking clergymen.


Encouraged by the divine spells, the human warriors atop the city wall rushed towards the abyssal demonic servants. With their weapons sharpened by the divine spell Sharpen Weapon, the human warriors killed one after another abyssal demonic servants who rushed up the city wall.


With the formidable restricted airs.p.a.ce array present, the flying abyssal fiends could only crowd at the base of the city wall and be reduced to shooting targets.


Abyssal fiends didn’t have the concept of building siege weapons. Therefore, the majority of abyssal demonic servants chaotically crowded at the base of the city wall, waiting to be killed or injured by the rain of arrows released by human archers.


The insect abyssal demonic servants that climbed up the city wall were killed by the experts led by Mikel.


The 10,000 abyssal fiends looked with amus.e.m.e.nt as the abyssal demonic servants were slaughtered by the humans.


For them, abyssal demonic servants were but food. Besides, abyssal demonic servants, who ate humans and domestic animals, were food cannon fodder that competed with them for food. No matter how many died, abyssal fiends would not feel sad.


Many abyssal fiends even looked forward for humans to kill more abyssal demonic servants, so that they could eat more humans and livestock themselves.


Coldly watching this scene, the tupilaq great fiend Anjit suddenly faced upwards and issued a bellow.


Inside the Meheecan City, in the manor of Earl Dumanlucia who was one of the tree earls supporting the Meheecan Princ.i.p.ality, inside the castle’s study.


The handsome Earl Dumanlucia opened his eyes and grinned fiercely, revealing a pair of sharp fangs. He said coldly: “It’s time! Let’s begin!!”


2,000 fully armed warriors clad in Meheecan City city guard uniform emerged from Earl Dumanlucia’s castle.


Earl Dumanlucia came out of the castle fully armed. Looking at the 2,000 warriors dressed in city guard uniform, he said coldly: “Let’s go!”


Following Earl Dumanlucia in silence, the 2,000 warriors rushed towards the western part of the Meheecan City.


“Who are you people?” When Earl Dumanlucia’s party reached a street, they were stopped by a patrol squad. Watching Earl Dumanlucia’s party with great vigilance, the squad captain barked.


“Get out of my way, George! Don’t you recognize me?” Earl Dumanlucia lifted the visor and barked at the squad captain.


George’s complexion changed dramatically, and he said respectfully: “Greetings, Sir Earl!”


Earl Dumanlucia was one of the three earls of the Meheecan Princ.i.p.ality as well as the descendant of one of the four legendary founding heroes of the Meheecan Princ.i.p.ality – Duman, so his status in the princ.i.p.ality was majestic. George was his subordinate at one time.


Earl Dumanlucia snapped: “I was ordered to reinforce the west gate! Get out of my way!”


Not daring to press it further, George stepped aside at once: “Yes! Sir Earl!!”


Earl Dumanlucia proceeded forward with the 2,000 warriors. Whenever a patrol squad saw him, they stepped aside, not daring to bar his path. In this fas.h.i.+on, he led his troops all the way to the west gate.


Escorted by a dozen or so guards, the general who guarded the west gate came to Earl Dumanlucia and asked respectfully: “Why are you here, Sir Earl?”


“I’m here to kill you!” Earl Dumanlucia showed a malevolent smile and slashed down with his sword. In an instant, the human general with Firmament Knight rank cultivation base was split into two.


Virtually at the same time, the warriors dressed in city guard uniform who came with Earl Dumanlucia defected and slashed with their swords at the city guards and priests.


The city guards at the west gate weren’t guarded against their comrades-in-arms. As such, the majority of the city guards collapsed into pools of blood in an instant. More than 100 of heavily guarded priests died tragically at the hands of Dumanlucia’s men.


Earl Dumanlucia shouted: “Open the gate!!”


The west gate opened slowly, and countless abyssal freaks poured into the gate.


“The city was breached!”


“The west gate was broken trough!!”


“…”


Blazing flames rose everywhere in the Meheecan City as kindred and their servant vampires hidden in the darkness took to action and started fires and shouted loudly, spreading slaughter and panic everywhere.


Many believers who stayed at home and prayed in silence to provide faith power for the temple began to panic and flee their rooms.


Numerous thugs poured onto the streets, burned, killed, and looted everywhere, and gave vent to their s.e.xual desires. Countless believers of the G.o.d of the Meheecan River collapsed into pools of blood.


The strong barrier covering the Meheecan City was also slowly weakening.


The barrier was able to cover the entire Meheecan City because it was released with the temple as the core and the believers as the power source.


The G.o.d of the Meheecan River could not use his precious divine power to sustain such a big and powerful barrier. Otherwise, even if he did sustain this barrier, it would be very taxing on him.


When the city guards atop the city wall saw the flames rising inside the city and heard the cacophony of sounds transmitted from inside the city, their minds shook, their moral dropped sharply, and their fighting strength decreased by more than 50%.


The city guards had their relatives in the city. Once the savage freaks broke into the city, tragedy was a given.


With a haggard and anxious look on his face, Meygal came to Esramia and asked respectfully: “What do we do now, Lady Aiz?”


There were many elements of instability atop the city wall. Even though they were blessed by divine spell, there were still many warriors fleeing into the city.


The defense line was in critical danger, and it could collapse at any time


Once the gate of a city was broken through, it was a huge psychological blow for the defending party. Besides, without the city wall and the formidable barrier, human warriors could not contend with abyssal fiends. The amazing number of demonic servants alone could ma.s.sacre all the human warriors in the Meheecan City.


Esramia stared at the motionless abyssal fiends without saying a word.


Meygal’s eyes s.h.i.+mmered with anxiety, and he uttered in a slightly heavier tone: “Lady Aiz, can’t you send Lady Liz? If it’s Lady Liz, then the west gate can certainly be taken back!”


Liz was Glicedar’s alias. Even though she lost all her divine power, Glicedar still possessed terrific pinnacle Legend rank strength after recovering, her fighting strength far superior to Esramia’s at the moment.


Glicedar, who was proficient in a.s.sa.s.sination and trod in the darkness possessed the frightening strength to recapture the west gate.


Eyes cold, Esramia spoke in a dignified tone: “That won’t do! Send my order! Everyone must stick to their posts and not attack at will!”


Meygal gritted his teeth and said respectfully: “Yes! Lady Aiz!!”


Kath’s beautiful eyes sparkled with worry, and she uttered, her gentle voice laced with inquiry: “Lady Aiz, why don’t you send someone to rescue the west gate? With the Lady Liz’s help, we are very hopeful to take back the west gate!”


“And then?” Esramia pointed to the 10,000 abyssal fiends ready to take action and said callously: “The barrier has weakened a lot. If our main forces leave and the 10,000 abyssal fiends unleash a blitzkrieg strike, we won’t have the strength to fight back. Our only hope to win now is Ian. Only by cooperating with him can we have a chance to win. Otherwise, we can only evacuate immediately.”


As the great elven monarch, Esramia was versed in the way of war. She could tell at a glance that the strength gap between the Meheecan City and the abyssal fiend corps was too great. Without special means, the Meheecan City could not defeat the abyssal fiend corps, let alone when the other side had agents inside the city.


Kath smiled bitterly and looked ahead anxiously.


The tupilaq great fiend Anjit looked at the Meheecan City with a sneer: “The commander of this city is truly a cunning fellow. He kept the main force as is! Even so, he already lost.”


Staring at the human experts atop the city wall, the eyes of a goat-headed great fiend glimmered. It licked its lips and spoke: “Anjit, let’s attack! I want to taste the flesh and souls of human experts! I can’t stand it any longer!!”
