Novel Full 305 Deathspike Fort
“Stop! Stop marching forward!”
Nux shouted at the top of his lungs.
The Soldiers stopped marching, and many of them didn’t believe this ‘Assistant General’, however, in the end, he had a higher rank than them, therefore, they could only agree and do what he had ordered.
The General and the Deputy Generals frowned as they saw this.
However, Nux didn’t care about it and shouted again,
“Step Back!
Step Back Quick!”
“Huh? What are you trying to do, you bastard!?
Keep in mind, you are someone who is allowed to roam wherever you want on the Battlefield, however, this does not mean you can order other soldiers as you will!”
A Deputy General shouted in anger.
“Soldiers! March Forward!”
He ordered.
Seeing the two higher-ups fighting with each other, the soldiers frowned in confusion.
What are they supposed to do now?
Nux then looked at the Deputy General and then, he directly turned towards the General.
“Order them to come back!”
He shouted in a fierce tone.
“Why?” Ember questioned.
“I don’t have time! Just or-”
“”AAAGGHHH!!!!””
Nux wanted to reply, however, soon, everyone heard the soldiers’ screams.
Nux, Thyra, Ember and the Deputy Generals turned around and their eyes widened in surprise when they saw large, Black Coloured Spikes impaling more than 2000 soldiers.
The rest of the soldiers panicked and started running back in panic. The enemy soldiers, however, didn’t give them this chance and started shooting their arrows to kill any soldier they can.
They had the high ground, they would be fools if they didn’t use this advantage.
“D-Death Spikes…” A Deputy General’s eyes widened in surprise.
“T-This… how is this possible!?”
The Deathspike Fort belonged to the Woods Dynasty in the first place, there is no way the Deputy Generals won’t know what those spikes were.
The Deathspike Fort was a fort that had spikes surrounding it from all directions, no matter how many soldiers stood on the top of these spikes, once they are activated, they would pierce through their bodies and would kill everyone.
It was a lethal defence system that the Fort was named on.
However, although it was strong, this Defense system wasn’t used much, the reason was simple,
It required a large amount of Mana to Activate it, even a King Stage Cultivator won’t be able to activate it.
Mana of 30,000 Beginner Stage Cultivators is needed to activate this Trap.
“They shouldn’t have enough manpower to activate this fort!” A Deputy General screamed.
Ember frowned.
She did not expect to lose around 2,000 soldiers before the battle even began.
“There are many many soldiers inside that Fort, the number far surpassed the 20,000 soldiers you were talking about.
If you want a rough estimation, there should be around 50,000 soldiers in that fort.”
Nux reported.
Ember’s eyes widened in surprise.
“How could that be!?”
A deputy general questioned.
“I don’t have any reason to lie.”
Nux replied with a solemn expression on his face.
The deputy general turned silent.
Ember looked at Nux and nodded,
“We cannot doubt him right now, he saved our soldiers, if he wanted, he could have just stayed silent and we would lose our two Squads before they could even do any damage.
We should believe his words.”
“T-Then w-what are we going to do now?”
One of the deputy generals panicked.
There plans…
Everything was going awry right now.
Ember, however, was different from the Deputy General, she was a lot calmer.
She started assessing the situation calmly.
“With Nux’s help, the Death Spike failed and was unable to do as much damage as it could.
The best way to use Deathspike is to use 20,000 soldiers to active it, those soldiers have already used half of their Mana, we shouldn’t give them the time to recover,
We will use this chance and attack.”
“But how are we going to break through their walls? With the Deathspike in the equation, there is no way those soldiers would be able to get near the Fort Walls.”
“Order them to attack from where they are standing.” Ember instructed.
“Huh? From that far? The Piercing Flame Squad would have to use twice the amount of Mana to do that.”
“Don’t worry, we already have the advantage in terms of Mana, all we need to do is break the walls, once we succeed in that, they won’t be able to access the Deathspikes anymore.”
The Deputy Generals’ gazes turned serious.
They then looked at each other and nodded,
“Yes, General!”
They saluted and then rushed toward the soldiers.
The Soldiers were panicking, something like a speech won’t help them, therefore, although it was faster than planned, the Deputy Generals had to move.
“Piercing Flame Squad! Heed my orders!”
A Deputy General, the one who had the Piercing Flame Squad under his command shouted loudly,
“Absolute Earth Squad! Stand Tall, we still have comrades that we need to defend!”
The Deputy General with Absolute Earth Squad under him ordered as well.
The other Deputy General ordered the other squads and the three of them quickly took control of the army.
With their leaders with them, the panicked soldiers calmed down.
“Soldiers! Do not back down right now, we have to avenge our fallen brothers!”
“YEAHHH!!!”
The Soldiers roared.
The Absolute Earth Squad stood in front and took the most damage, however, they still stood strong and created Earth Shields that blocked the Arrows fired by the soldiers.
The Piercing Flame Squad then created fireballs and then aimed them at the Fort Walls.
Yes, it was just a 1-Star Skill, Fireball.
However, with more than 10,000 soldiers using this same Skill at the same time, the power was higher than any 4-star Skill. Not only that, but since it was just a 1-Star Star Skill, the Soldiers were able to shoot Fire Balls continuously.
With an attack stronger than a 4 Star Skill falling on the Walls again and again and again,
The Walls cracked,
“Continue shooting!
Don’t think about conserving Mana!
Break the walls!”
The Squad Leader ordered.
And soon,
*BOOOOOM*
The walls were burst open.
Ember then stepped forward and raised her sword in the air.
“Soldiers!
March Forward and Kill all these bastards!”
“YEAHHHHH!!!”
