Chapter 336: "The Second Wave"
Chapter 336: "The Second Wave"
BOOM!
The barrier received its first wave of attacks.
The various attacks either tried to pierce the barrier, melt it, freeze it, or just try to smash it to pieces.
PSSHH.
Some of the attacks vanished right after touching the barrier.
TSSS. TSSS.
Some slid down the wall and exploded when it touched the ground.
TSSS...BOOM!
The others exploded right when it touched the barrier.
DRKKK...DRKKK…
These explosions\' impact made the barrier tremble slightly as if about to crumble at any moment.
However, the attacks never stopped.
BOOM!
One time.
BOOM! BOOM!
Two times.
BOOM! BOOM! BLAAR!
Three times.
The first wave of bombardment attacked relentlessly. One after another kept coming, with no signs of stopping.
After all, the attack from 200-ish aerial beasts and monsters were nothing to scoff at.
BOOM!
The n-th time.
Crack. Crack. CRACK.
Signs of cracking slowly appeared, but the ability users immediately repaired the barrier even when their faces turned pale in the blink of an eye.
"Replenish the barrier! Quick! The elders and the supreme elder are going to face the aerial forces! We have to hold on!"
Indeed, the elders and the Ale Family from the Sloan Family branch didn\'t sit and do nothing but watch.
The Ale family commander raised his hand and whistled sharply.
"Air forces. Attack the monsters! Attack the monsters! Stop them!"
The pitiful 50-ish aerial monsters and beasts had to circle some of the monsters and beasts too close to the barrier and finished it off.
They couldn\'t afford to fight the other monsters or beasts, so they could only gang up on those who strayed too far, especially the monsters.
The enemy monsters consisted of mainly low and mid-level monsters with very few mother monsters among them.
Compared to fighting adult beasts with a high intelligence akin to humans, it\'s easier to trick the monsters and kill them.
Of course, they had to get rid of the monster riders first. And this was where the 6 elders came into handy.
"Attack the riders! The riders!" One of the 6 elders, Daniel, waved his hand and out of nowhere, the air condensed into sharp icicles.
It\'s his unique ability to condense the air and make anything inanimate out of it!
Using this ability, Daniel created dozens of arrows right around the enemy riders, and before the riders could react, the condensed arrows already pierced their throats.
STAB STAB STAB STAB. PFFF!
A few riders instantly breathed their last breath. Blood spurted out of their throats, dying the monsters they used as their mounts.
Their bodies swayed, and one by one, fell to the ground like lifeless moths.
PLOP. PLOP. PLOP.
Falling from that height, even an Ability user instantly turned into meat patties. Blood splashed everywhere, yet those on the ground didn\'t even blink.
That\'s the cruel fate of the aerial forces once they died. Their bodies wouldn\'t even be left intact after their deaths!
The monsters who lost their masters inwardly died since their souls were bonded together.
Unlike beasts who would still be alive after their masters died depending on the type of their contracts, all monsters lost their lives the very moment their masters died.
"KWAAAK!" The aerial monsters wailed in pain before all lights left their eyes. Their bodies stiffened and in the blink of an eye, they fell motionlessly straight to the ground.
BOOM!
The ground shook. The troops near the fallen beasts immediately dodged, as not to die from getting squashed to death.
Even if the monsters were usually not that big, yet...getting squashed to death was still possible.
More and more enemy monsters fell to the ground, along with their riders. Since the 6 elders had started to act, these mobs couldn\'t handle the elders.
In less than 15 minutes, the 6 elders already killed close to 50 riders and 50 monsters. They were even close to killing 100 aerial monsters and beasts on their own!
When the enemy air force commander saw this, he clenched the reign of his phoenix-like beast.
It seems that the Sloan Family\'s famous 7 great elders are still vigorous even when they\'re already so old. They can\'t be underestimated!
Thus, the commander raised his right hand and shouted once more.
"All forces. Keep your distance! Keep your distance! Don\'t get too close to the mansion. Those old farts can\'t get you if you\'re not too close!"
The commander\'s voice rang throughout the battlefield as well as through the Airpods that his men wore in their ears.
Yeah, these rich armies even had Airpods for each fighter!
"Keep your distance but don\'t stop. Attack! Keep attacking! The monster brigade shall retreat. The beast brigade takes the monster brigade position. Continue the attack!"
The commander clearly knew that the 6 elders were shackled to the mansion even when they\'re overpowered.
Not to mention that they also had limits. They couldn\'t possibly attack those out of their attack range. Thus, as long as they didn\'t come too close to these elders, it should be alright.
That\'s why he switched the monster and the beast brigade since the beast brigade didn\'t rely only on the ability users but also on the beasts themselves.
The clever beasts could know when to stop advancing and kept their distance safe.
"The monster brigade. Bring out the archers! The archers! Attack the land troops! Attack!"
The commander decided to make use of the monster brigade to attack the Sloan Family\'s land troops.
These monsters could still launch a long-range attack one more time before needing to replenish their energies using potions or energy crystals.
The riders would also need to replenish their energies while their peers continue to attack the Sloan Family.
Incoming, the airstrike second wave!
