Chapter 159: Chapter 119: No Need to Wait Anymore (3)
This is why he personally led the army to appear here.
This battle is one he cannot afford to overlook.
“Master.”
Brad came from behind and handed over a roll of parchment.
“This is the battle report from the rear.”
Kei took it, opened it, and immediately showed a joyful expression.
“Sunan is indeed extraordinary, never disappointing when taking action.”
Seeing Breton’s curious expression, Kei smiled and tossed the battle report over.
“See for yourself.”
Breton opened it, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.
“Count Nolai, Viscount Sulek, Viscount Dubi… Baron Bimande, a total of twenty-three noble casualties.”
“Priest Jensen of the Starfire Sect was also killed, the Ya’an City church branch turned to ruins.”
“The vanguard army of Hulan Province was heavily damaged, initial estimates of the dead exceed two thousand!”
“Amazing!”
Even Breton, with his calm nature, couldn’t suppress his excitement upon seeing this information.
After suffering such a heavy blow, even with their commanders captured in a sweep, the vanguard army of Ya’an City can’t launch an attack on Golden Barley City in the short term even if they aren’t totally defeated.
Until new commanders and reinforcements arrive at Ya’an City, Golden Barley City doesn’t need to worry about threats from the Hulan Province.
Whether Hulan Province can quickly send new commanders and reinforcements, Brad doubts it.
After all, Lord Sunan once said that Ya’an City is just the first stop, and there are many more ’surprises’ for Hulan Province and the Starfire Sect.
“With Sunan here, there’s no need to worry about Hulan Province for now; Stali is enough to handle things in Golden Barley City.”
“We can’t lose to Sunan; we need to capture Gaoya City quickly.”
With a look full of excitement, Kei turned to ask Brad:
“Has the puppet army arrived?”
“They’ve reached the agreed location!” Brad nodded firmly.
“Good, order the attack!”
“Yes, sir!”
Soon enough, the melodious sound of horns echoed.
On the plains below the hillside, the Flashing Army, already prepared, slowly moved forward, accelerating towards Gaoya City, finally turning into a charge.
Led by the mighty and towering Stone Golems, the imposing army surged like waves towards Gaoya City.
On the city walls built of bluestone, the commanders gazed at the army charging across the hill and field, especially the massive Rock Giants at the forefront, their faces showing a hint of paleness.
“Is this the Golem Legion of the Flashing Territory?”
“Can our soldiers deal with these monsters?”
“I’ve heard these golems possess combat power equal to Knight Level.”
Facing an enemy not yet fully attacking, the morale of their own was about to hit rock bottom. Baron Wilkin of Gaoya City immediately interrupted his subordinates’ discussions loudly.
“Why panic!”
“The terrain here is narrow and steep, the enemy’s army can’t fully exert itself, while we have ample troops; if we work together, the enemy can’t possibly capture Gaoya City!”
“I’ve already asked Count for reinforcements; we just need to hold out for three days, and Count’s reinforcement will arrive, then we’ll be at ease!”
Baron Wilkin’s speech successfully boosted the morale of the defenders.
But just then, there was a sudden commotion from behind.
A soldier came running frantically.
“Sir, it’s bad, the enemy’s army is climbing up from the cliff at the back!”
Baron Wilkin’s face changed drastically; he grabbed the soldier’s collar and shouted furiously with a dark face, “Impossible! That cliff can’t even be climbed by knights; what kind of army can come up from there?”
“It’s spiders, very big spiders!” the soldier stammered with trembling lips, “There are many of them, and we can’t stop them with just the few of us at the gate; those spiders have already rushed into the city and are heading this way!”
Baron Wilkin released the soldier’s collar, quickly rushing to the edge of the wall to look out, and indeed saw a cloud of dust rising in the distance, figures moving vigorously, and witnessing huge black spiders rampaging through the crowd, quickly approaching.
Seeing this, darkness swept over Baron Wilkin’s vision, his body staggered a few steps, nearly losing balance and falling.
The deputy beside him hurried to support him, anxiously asking, “Sir, are you alright?”
Baron Wilkin could no longer respond, his face pale as paper, haunted by a single thought.
Finished!
Totally finished!
At the same time, the heavy, rumbling footsteps echoed and reached the base of the city.
The tall Stone Golems charged like tanks, crashing heavily against the city wall!
Boom!
