Chapter 1538: Chapter 1539 Fatal Command
On the entire city wall, it was as if a massive rainbow had appeared, a phenomenon caused by the mixture of various attributes of spiritual power!
The foremost line of the Yu Lin Guard stood unwavering, fearlessly charging forward!
Their gazes were resolute, their blood and courage unyielding!
Their actually instilled fear even in the hearts of their enemies!
"Kill!"
Finally, the first Yu Lin Guard successfully reached the city wall. Although his arrival came at the cost of countless comrades’ sacrifices, ultimately, he made it!
"Stop him!"
A heart-rending roar, this was the shout of a Yingchen Family officer. In truth, his realm was higher than that of the Yu Lin Guard, but at this moment, he was actually too frightened to step forward.
In an instant, dozens of Yingchen Family soldiers charged at that Yu Lin Guard. Though they too were afraid, fortunately, they retained the most basic discipline.
Boom!
This Yu Lin Guard swung his sword, sending an enemy flying, but he himself didn’t advance even half a step. He knew his duty, his sole responsibility was to hold this position and support his companions coming behind him.
"All together!"
A few Yingchen Family soldiers, clearly feeling some fear, after all, they had never been to the battlefield. If it weren’t for the prevalence of martial arts in the Martial Realm and the combative nature of every martial artist, someone might have already collapsed and fled!
Fortunately, despite their intense fear, the Yingchen Family soldiers at least didn’t flee the city wall.
In contrast, some officers shrank back and prepared to escape!
The Yingchen Family soldiers were, of course, merely private soldiers, and with private soldiers come special ties!
Not to mention all, at least this is the case with the Yingchen Family, where almost all officers of the Commander level or above are members of the Yingchen Family, and even at the Colonel level, many are servants or relatives of the Yingchen Family.
In contrast, those basic soldiers, even if they achieve great battle merits, find it difficult to advance!
Therefore, at this moment, such an odd scene appeared—many soldiers fearlessly defending the city wall, while their Generals kept a distance, or had already disappeared altogether!
This has just seen the Yu Lin Guard climb onto the city wall, yet the Yingchen Family’s defense has already descended into chaos!
"Kill!"
Roaring anger shook the skies as Yu Lin Guard after Yu Lin Guard continued to reach the city wall. In truth, the real threat to the Yu Lin Guard wasn’t these Yingchen Family soldiers, but those lifeless puppets!
"Spirit Power Cannon, quickly fire, fire! Aim at the city wall and fire!"
The speaker was the eldest young master of the Yingchen Family, who was referred to as the Princely Heir. When the battle broke out, this guy proudly claimed the position of commander, believing that any enemy would be annihilated under his command!
Because of his status, no one dared to stop him, so he became the highest commander of the entire city defense legion!
"Young, young master, our army is engaged with the enemy on the city wall, we cannot distinguish between friend and foe. If we fire now, we might injure our own people!"
A commander became visibly terrified and immediately tried to dissuade.
However, just as he finished speaking, a loud slap was heard!
"Smack!"
The sound was clear and loud, and the Yingchen Family’s eldest young master viciously glared at his commander, shouting loudly: "How dare you teach me what to do? Someone, drag him down and execute him!"
"Young master, please don’t! Yingchen Mo, the commander, was only advising out of goodwill. As a generous lord, please don’t argue with him!"
Another commander immediately stepped forward to dissuade him. Everyone was clear about their young master, who lacked any skills, yet wouldn’t tolerate the slightest offense, and anyone daring to criticize him faced certain trouble!
Thus, at this moment, most present dared not speak up.
"Do you want to die too?"
The young master glared at the commander who tried to advise him, intending to deal with him as well. Fortunately, this person was of the direct family line, so the Yingchen young master didn’t directly act.
"No, no, young master, you misunderstand. My point is, Yingchen Mo was genuinely acting out of goodwill, just worried about those soldiers, not intentionally provoking you, young master!"
"Hmph, what’s worth worrying about those worthless people? Convey my order, open fire immediately, blow all the enemies off the city wall, and for any dead people, just give them compensation, it’s not worth much anyway!"
Upon saying this, some guards around the Yingchen Family soldiers outside the tent had faces of ice.
Yes, their lives weren’t valuable; they were just lowly people!
But these lowly people were fighting a bloody battle for your Yingchen Family’s interests!
Upon hearing such words, whoever would feel cold-hearted, but their families were in the city, even though they received the message that those attacking were the Royal Family’s elite Yu Lin Guard, as long as they stayed home, they wouldn’t be disturbed.
However, even if the soldiers weren’t worried about the attacking Yu Lin Guard, they were worried about Yingchen Family’s tactics!
In their hearts, the Yingchen Family’s supervisory team was considered even more terrifying than the enemy!
...
Finally, the Spirit Power Cannon fired!
Dragging long trails behind, massive beams of light blasted several gaps on the city wall!
Indiscriminately hitting both friend and foe, anyone within the cannon’s range was instantly slain!
During the Yu Lin Guard’s siege, the Spirit Power Cannon did nothing, yet when the Yu Lin Guard entangled with the defenders, it fired?
Witnessing this scene, even Ye Luo was dumbfounded. Was the city’s commander a three-year-old child?
How could such foolish actions still find people obeying orders?
It could be said, the firing of the Spirit Power Cannon was almost aiding the besieging Yu Lin Guard. Despite wiping out many warriors, they were accompanied by tens of times more enemies!
If there were truly continuations of the bloody battle, the Yu Lin Guard might barely eliminate so many foes.
Moreover, the clearance of the city wall by the Spirit Power Cannon was virtually paving the way for the Yu Lin Guard!
However, the Yingchen Family does not care for soldier lives, but that doesn’t mean Ye Luo doesn’t either!
"Retreat temporarily, await the opening of the city gates!"
Ye Luo calmly issued the order to retreat.
Because Ye Luo knew, although the city wall was now cleared, making it easy for the Yu Lin Guard to land, once they did, they would surely become targets for the Spirit Power Cannon!
If forces were continued to be committed, it would be akin to sending them to their deaths!
Thus, it was better to retreat momentarily.
Of course, Ye Luo also understood, the enemy’s Spirit Power Cannon couldn’t fire indefinitely, knowing that each attack of the cannon consumes immense spiritual power, and both the quality and quantity requirements are exceptionally high.
