The 25-meter body was even taller than Dawn City"s walls.When everyone in Dawn City saw the outrageously huge upper body, especially the bloodthirsty face, it sent chills down their spines.
Dang!
Dang! Dang!
The alarm bell that hadn"t been rung for a very long time echoed throughout the city once again.
The people that fell into panic only reacted to the situation after the bell was rung; they started to scatter and flee.
Some of the city guards fled their duties as well, only less than 1/3 of the guards stayed back and carried out their responsibilities reluctantly.
Sou Sou Sou!
Arrow rain from the archers rained down at the t.i.tan from the walls but the arrow rain attack was useless. The seemingly indomitable arrow rain landed on the t.i.tan yet it was reflected away without causing a single bit of damage.
Inside, it infuriated the t.i.tan even more.
Roar!
A loud roar later, the t.i.tan rampantly rammed itself onto the walls of Dawn City.
BANG!
The st.u.r.dy city wall of a dozen meters tall suffered a loud, heavy bang.
The fierce tremble even shook the soldiers on the walls off their feet, causing them to fall to the ground. Visible cracks spread out rapidly following the tremble.
The Dawn City walls that were known as the "never fall" was trembling to a fall after a single blow from the t.i.tan but the t.i.tan wasn"t satisfied just yet.
He shook his head, took two steps back and readied himself in a charging stance. The t.i.tan wanted to ram through the walls with a single charge.
Meanwhile in the archer towers around the walls, the ballistae that were considered the war machines of the age were entering their final adjustment stage.
Bang!
Kak Tssk!
After stepping down the loading mechanism on the ballistae, was followed was a series of tooth-numbing screeches from the spring movement.
Then…
A series of air-whistle sounded!
Each arrow fired was as thick as a grown man"s calf, as long as 1.5 meters, and would need at least two strong men to load on to the ballistae plus three men to operate the firing mechanism; the giant arrows were fired and rapidly approached the t.i.tan.
Inside the archer tower, each of the soldiers operating the ballistae was looking at their target with antic.i.p.ated gazes but reality was always cruel.
A formless energy barrier enveloped the t.i.tan as the giant arrows were fired at him.
The giant arrows that could pierce the roof of a house crashed onto the formless barrier and were turned into bits of wood under the crus.h.i.+ng impact.
The t.i.tan who was enveloped by the energy barrier once again rammed himself on the walls of Dawn City.
KABOOM!
The ground trembled again, a violent and tall dust storm was whipped up along with the impact.
The walls of Dawn City… had fallen!
Following the crumbling of the st.u.r.dy wall, those city guards who barely held onto their defensive duties with limited amounts of courage crumbled as well.
Without the protection from the walls, no one among the city guards had the courage to face the t.i.tan before them.
So, another round of routing started again.
Despite the imperial royal guards and the n.o.bles" private militias grouping up further away, the city guards weren"t motivated to stay behind.
The city guards" rout even messed up the formation of the other troops behind them.
"Hahahahaha!"
The t.i.tan gave out an ear-deafening laugh as he grabbed a fallen archer tower on the ground and hurled it to the gathering troops.
Kaboom!
The ground of private militias of the n.o.bles was squashed into meat paste and that wasn"t the end.
The remaining archer towers were pulled out by the t.i.tan who was throwing them at the spots where the troops were gathered.
The imperial royal guards and the private militias of the n.o.bles who had just gathered had their formation smashed to bits, forcing them to retreat.
It wasn"t because they weren"t decently trained, neither were they poorly equipped, it was just that the enemy they were facing was unimaginably strong.
The two princes of Saint Cyanda imperial household stood at a safe distance, witnessing the rampage of the t.i.tan. Both of them exchanged gazes before making the same decision at the same time.
"Tell the Burning Marquis."
Both of them ordered their men.
The officer then quickly ran towards the Burning Marquis" mansion after the order was given.
After the order was given, the imperial household and the n.o.bles finally calmed down.
The t.i.tan before them was terrifying but he wasn"t invincible.
Everyone knew how powerful the Burning Marquis was.
Therefore, a monster would require another monster to deal with it.
The gathered troops started to retreat as everyone was waiting for the Burning Marquis to arrive.
However, the t.i.tan didn"t plan to let the troops leave just like that.
"Come out! You cowardly b.a.s.t.a.r.d, show yourself!"
"You"ve been keeping me away from Dawn City but how can you really stop my steps, me, Darde the t.i.tan"s steps? Now! Come out, show yourself! Otherwise, I"ll destroy the whole city and lay your plans to waste!"
Darde the t.i.tan"s voice echoed throughout Dawn City.
His palm, as big as a common house was slammed at the ground.
A layer of ripples visible to the eye emanated from the t.i.tan"s palm and spread out in all directions like waves of ripples on a lake.
Anything that came in contact with the ripple, human or building, everything was shredded to pieces.
The wave of ripples was like a meat grinder, whipping up a b.l.o.o.d.y wind as it danced through certain areas, swallowing a whole street block within an instant.
The imperials and n.o.bles who retreated farther away were dumbstruck by the scene before their eyes.
While looking at the ruins in front of their eyes, their minds were still recalling the intact street from a moment ago. Amidst their panic, they couldn"t maintain their s- called n.o.ble etiquette anymore.
Each of them was trembling intensely as their faces turned extremely ugly.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
One of the n.o.bles couldn"t stand it anymore and shouted out loud; followed by a second, a third and so on.
The n.o.bles retreated one after another, searching for a safer place to hide.
The two princes from the imperial household really wanted to show off their valiantness and courage during this desperate time but with their lives threatened, it made them run faster than the n.o.bles.
The imperial royal guards and private militias of the n.o.bles that spent a full 10 minutes gathering into formation retreated at a speed, 10 times, no, 100 times faster than before.
A few breaths of time later, every one of them vanished.
Dawn City was like a city with empty defenses in front of Darde the t.i.tan.
Darde, however, wasn"t surprised at all as it wasn"t his first time.
He knew perfectly well how to destroy the defense line in the natives" heart.
However, Darde"s opponent was a little different.
Sharing the same ident.i.ty as a player, his opponent was incomparable to natives.
If Darde didn"t get a hold of his opponent"s weak point, it would be hard for him to force his opponent into submission.
Fortunately, he has!
"Still now showing yourself eh? Maybe you think you still can hide in front of me?"
Darde purposely prolonged his tone.
Those giant eyes of his were staring at his own shadow.
Under Darde"s gaze, the shadow that belonged to his opponent started to boil like water.
Another similarly huge figure inflated like a balloon from Darde"s shadow. Under the shadow"s scarlet red eyes, it had a bloodthirst similar to the t.i.tan.
"Finally you dare to show yourself! So this is your "Cutting Shadow Spell?" Not too shabby but it has too many flaws!"
Amidst the thundering words, Darde"s body emitted in blinding light.
The similarly huge shadow that seemed to be evenly matched was destroyed by the blinding light just like that.
Darde the t.i.tan gained victory in an extremely easy manner.
[Player Ansecord died…]
Standing in front of a window, Kieran squinted his eyes as he watched over the scene.
He frowned.
Something wasn"t right!
