Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Full-scale attack

For a tier 1 emperor beast to be defeated, there had to be at least 2 peak demigods to match its strength, but the same couldn’t be said for the tier 2 beasts.

At the emperor rank, the difference greater bloodline made was so much that numbers didn’t matter. The only difference between 1 peak demigod and 10 would only be a few more seconds before all of them were slaughtered.

For a tier 2 emperor rank beast to be matched, there had to be at least 2 ascended angels (1st stage of the angel realm).

Currently, there was only Reeves present, but there was no way he could take both tier 1 and tier 2 emperor beasts. Even if Guildmaster Walden was to arrive, Reeves would handle the moth queen while Typhon and his adventurer party were to take on the flaming tiger.

This left Walden alone with the tier 2 3-headed hydra, which was no different from committing suicide.

“By the time Darius is done, the eastern wall would have fallen. Someone needs to go and aid them.” Principal Lovren didn’t think it would be a difficult battle for Colonel Darius. It was just that Treants were tricky and hard to deal with.

“You have to go and support the eastern wall.” Lovren said to Zirrack.

.....

“What of here? I feel this is a plan by the beasts to draw our attention to setting areas before attacking the others.” Zirrack felt that the Arachne outside the city barrier wasn’t the only thing they had to face, and there was definitely a reason why it hadn’t attacked yet.

“I feel the same way, but if anything is to come we would definitely be able to handle it.” Principal Lovren said.

“If you say so then, I will be on my way.” Zirrack’s body was suddenly engulfed in the darkish-purple flames as he flew off the western wall to the east of the city.

Seeing the purple flame flying out of the eastern wall, an evil grin appeared on the face of the female Arachne.

...

Back to the southern wall.

It had been close to 20 minutes since Blake had activated the elemental cannon array. The mana cost of the battle array was distributed among the 5 of them, but that of the center array was higher.

Also, controlling it for so long took quite a toll on him, causing him to switch with Luciano, as he drank a mana potion. Now that he didn’t have much thinking to do, Blake was now able to fully assess the battlefield.

So far the human death count at the southern gate was only a little above 5. The low death count was a result of the human army choosing quality over quantity. Unlike the beast army that consisted of every rank of beasts, that of the human army consisted of nothing below the Hero realm.

This kind of selection made sure that each person had enough experience to know how to react in certain situations.

‘I thought he would put up a good show, just like the potbellied.’ Blake was disappointed when he saw Xavier being helped by members of the Karius family to take down the 2nd king rank beast that came for him.

On looking over to Oliver, Blake saw Genji had returned to his piglet form and was sleeping on the head of its master.

‘He is a perfect example of one’s spirit animal manifesting.’ Blake found it hard to control himself from bursting out in laughter as he saw Oliver’s stout physique.

[I can see it.] The system didn’t hold back as it burst out in laughter, making it more difficult for Blake to hold back his.

“Ahm! Ahm!” Blake began coughing in order to hide his laughter.

“Are you okay?” Tessie asked with a worried look on her face.

“Yeah, just having a dry throat.” Blake said as he tried his best to keep a straight face.

“Here have some water.” Tessie conjured water which he had no choice but to drink.

‘Blake you need to focus! A mistake can cost you your life.’ Blake said to himself as he shifted his sight away from Oliver and onto the king rank Boa constructor.

With the 4 newly controlled knight rank beasts by its side, Azul the boa constrictor was easily laying waste to the sea of beasts that were coming its master’s way.

‘The city Barriers’ regeneration is going pretty well.’ Blake thought as the openings caused by the Hippodon’s water bombs had reduced in size.

The suppressive fires of the magic cannon were the main reason for this. Most of the magic cannons focused on the artillery units of the beasts. This made them focus more on defending themselves, thus greatly reducing the damage they dealt with the city barrier.

‘It is only a matter of time till we are safe, and this time the hippodon is being taken care o...’ Before Blake could complete his sentence, the trees in the forest began undulating. Something was swimming underground!

‘It is so large and long!’ Blake said as he saw more than 4 trees in the same row moving up at the same time. The length of this undulating motion stretched 60 meters long and was moving toward the city barrier.

(AN: Sorry, but I couldn’t resist doing it XD)

[I would act like I didn’t see what you did there, but there are more than 1!] The system drew Blake’s attention to the other 4 undulating motions happening on the other sides of the wall.

“Holy shit! Their plan had been to distract the powerhouses while they launch a full-scale attack on the wall.” Blake said in shock attracting the attention of his teammates and the ash corps teams besides them.

They looked out the city barrier to see double the number of beasts they were facing coming out of their hiding places in the forest.
