Twenty-three, A cornered beast will still fight

  I'll try to get two updates today, everyone please vote a lot, Old Wang is begging you here.

  ———————————————————————————————————————

  The black airship gazed down at the burning iron blocks on the streets below, and the previously invincible mechanical puppet that had been so mighty just moments before now seemed fragile in the face of the magic javelins coming from the sky. Just like how an armed helicopter is a nemesis to tanks in another world.

  Idril stood on his last flying ship, his face expressionless. The previous chaotic construction of the magic puppet had severely disrupted his battle deployment. More than half of his current subordinates were mutinous soldiers who had fled in disarray and only followed Idril's command because they were trapped here. Now, with just a slight setback, they completely lost their organization and discipline, giving the remaining enemy forces in the city an opportunity to take advantage of.

  The battle had been going on for nearly two hours, and the enemy's main force outside the city would probably arrive soon, while their own preparations... Just thinking about it made Idriel feel a chill run down his spine.

  However, we still have to deal with these few little mice first. He glanced at the small building below with its open window and made a gesture to the driver.

  Looking at the black object in the sky slowly approaching towards them, the two people in the room exchanged a glance and immediately took off running.

  The sharp secret silver spear pierced the roof like cutting tofu, and the flames and air waves that followed overturned the entire top floor. Feili covered her head with both hands and rolled towards the stairs. The great druid simply kicked a hole in the floor and jumped down.

  Bang!

  Fili had just rolled down the stairs when a bullet came flying towards him, fortunately, the mage's armor blocked the shot. He casually tossed out a web spell. However, as he stood up to look for the attacker, he was stunned.

  A hapless sprite soldier was pinned down at the very bottom by the massive body of the Great Druid, his firelock flung several feet away, while Ludwig lay on top of the bear's back, all three entangled in the spider web they had just set, stuck fast to the ground.

  "What the hell are you staring at, open this damn thing quickly!" Ludwig struggled to curse loudly, and the Great Druid also slapped the elf's head with a bear palm in dissatisfaction, splashing out blood that dyed the spider web red.

  Feili furrowed his brow and was about to dispel the magic, but the floorboards above them suddenly collapsed, burying everyone under a pile of rubble.

  "Cough, cough!" Relying on the unexpected protective charm stored in the stone skin technique to escape disaster, Fili pushed away the broken wooden board above her head and found that the flying ship in the sky had already left, but there were not a few elf soldiers holding guns on the ground, cautiously approaching here.

  "What bad luck!" He cursed, as he fished out a stealth cloak from his spatial ring, "Let my figure be hidden..."

  "Whoa!" A bear's paw stretched out from the ruins, and Phili was tripped up by the rolling debris, causing her spell to be interrupted. The loud growl that followed immediately drew the attention of all the spirits here.

  "Over here!"

  "Take them out quickly!"

  Bang!

  The yells of the elves and the sparse gunfire sounded, Fili rolled over, flipped behind a broken wall, several bullets hit the wall, bursting into a burst of sparks.

  "Let my figure be hidden... damn it!"

  Fili suddenly found that his cloak of invisibility had been torn apart just now. He angrily put down the damaged cloak, carefully looked out from the gap between the bricks, and found that the Great Druid was fighting with a dozen elves using bricks, stones and magic, while several other elves had somehow brought a cannon! The dark mouth of the cannon was pointing in his direction!

  "Damn it, I'm done for!" Fili pulled out the last magic metal ball, but before he could even activate it, another intense earthquake shook him off balance and sent him tumbling to the ground amidst the rubble. The deafening roar almost completely took away his hearing. Fili's vision went dark, feeling like the world was spinning around him, his ears ringing nonstop, and he nearly passed out.

  When his senses finally cleared a bit, Fei Li struggled to lift his head and look out, only to see a mushroom cloud rising slowly in the distance, with debris falling like raindrops, pounding into the ground and creating small pits. He quickly buried his head and was about to activate his Stone Skin Technique when a piece of shrapnel landed on his buttocks, causing him to cry out in pain.

  "How detestable! What's more?"

  The sturdy gate of Glory City, along with a short section of the city wall, completely disappeared in the explosion. Thousands of soldiers shouted as they charged into the city through the massive opening. After rushing to the foot of the city, Charlotte and Governor Norm, who were anxious and flustered, didn't have time to think of a better way, so they directly ordered the sappers to blow open the north gate with all the gunpowder collected from the nearby artillery emplacements. Since the main forces were engaged in street fighting inside the city, the few elves on the city wall couldn't stop them at all. Idriel hastily ordered the flying ship to come from the air, but it was still a step too late and was almost overturned by the blast wave.

  Looking at the gray crowd pouring into the city, Idriel gritted his teeth and pushed away the driver, violently steering the flying ship towards the gap in the city wall!

  "Boom!" Like throwing a stone into a pot of oil, the flying ship disintegrated instantly in the intense impact, with a storm of iron fragments and flames shooting everywhere on the surrounding walls, nailed to the ground inside and outside the city wall, hitting the soldiers huddled together, leaving behind a sky full of blood and flesh, the bloody smell even covering up the gunpowder smoke, various limbs and bodies were lifted into the air, and then fell heavily.

  Witnessing this tragic scene, even the seasoned elven soldiers couldn't help but lower their heads and vomit. This was no longer a battle, but a thorough massacre. The human soldiers, who had little combat experience and lacked training, were completely intimidated, with blank spaces appearing in the gray tide of people, while those outside the city walls became weak-kneed and refused to take another step forward. Many of the soldiers who had already entered the city were also paralyzed with fear, completely at a loss for what to do.

  With the Featherfall technique activated on his military uniform, Idriel slowly descended to the ground after jumping out of the cabin at the last moment. Seeing his subordinates rushing over from all directions and gazing at the ugly appearance of the enemy in front of him, he revealed a ferocious smile, raised his command knife high, and then heavily chopped down.

  "Charge!"
