Chapter 881 Attack and Defense

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar--"

...

On the eastern front, the warriors of the Scarface tribe pounded their shields or their chests, their numbers few but their thunderous battle roars cheering on their leader.

The images are filled with primal, wild, and untamed nature, and the will to survive.

The white arthropod was likely the core of this giant insect swarm. After it was killed, the insect horde on the front line was leaderless and retreated temporarily, howling in despair.

Scarface's reckless actions bought everyone a brief respite.

He was full of energy and vitality, and despite being covered in wounds, he showed no signs of fatigue.

...

However, the time to catch one's breath was far too short.

Not long after the insect swarm receded, an even denser and larger army of terrifying giant insects appeared at the far end of the horizon.

After entering the forbidden zone, the various races of giant insects began to evolve wildly without restraint, and now they have formed a highly intelligent civilization.

The new wave of advanced giant insects appearing on the horizon exuded a subtle sense of oppression emanating from the order of life.

Yes, in just a few years, these invasive arthropods have evolved superior beings.

...

If it were ordinary soldiers instead of the remnants fighting the insectoids on the border at this moment, they might have already had their sanity depleted and would be unable to fight when the superior giant insect appeared.

However, fate always plays all sorts of coincidences on everyone.

Those trapped in this desolate and forbidden zone are precisely the descendants of conquerors who have never known fear.

...

Under Scarface's leadership, everyone on the Eastern Front was fearless.

Even when facing someone in a superior position, his gaze remained firm.

He hoisted the greatsword up once more.

The warriors of the Scarface tribe continued to emit their muffled battle cries.

...

……

On the western front, this is a war of confrontation with more advanced weaponry.

How can a city wall as high as a mountain, even higher than a mountain, capable of blocking out the light and the sunset glow, be breached?

The one who led the attack on Os-Nargai was none other than Kang, the blacksmith of the Scarface tribe, who was determined to create a god-slaying weapon.

...

It's unclear when it started, but he has completely integrated into this forbidden zone and merged with this race.

Here is a group of fearless children, and like them, Kang's heart has also died once.

He had given up all hope, or rather, all aspirations.

He failed to protect his family; both of his sons died in front of him.

Meanwhile, his daughter is also attacked while crossing the barriers between worlds, and Kang is powerless to help.

When he landed in the forbidden zone, he was all alone. Even now, he still believed that the immortality curse in the will had kept him alive, while all the children who had crossed the world barrier with him were gone, including Emma.

Therefore, Kang's heart was dead.

But he can't die.

...

Fate played an extremely cruel joke on him.

But it also gave Kang another chance.

He threw a desperate man into a group of even more desperate people. In these survivors, he saw an indomitable will, a will that had never been extinguished even after millions of years.

On the occasion when they dragged the arthropod creature off the cliff at the cave entrance, it appeared that Kang saved Scarface, but in reality, it was Scarface who saved Kang.

He rekindled a fire in the old man's heart.

Even the fire of revenge was enough to sustain him in his life.

...

How strong is the defensive capability of Os-Nargai in the Eternal Kingdom?

Although these are a group of eternal citizens who enjoy themselves all day long, there are still at least a group of priests left over from the Emerald Temple in the city, as well as a considerable number of city guards. Remember Fatty Pedestrian Street?

But actually, these can all be handled.

After the death of Horuss, the Emerald God, his temple priests lost their former glory. Without the blessing of the god, their strength plummeted.

The only thing that left Kang feeling helpless was the city wall.

Despite prior reconnaissance, they had moved the battlefield to the vicinity of the lowest point of the Eternal City Wall, but they still couldn't see the top of the wall at a glance, and even the unique lights of the Eternal Kingdom in the sky were completely obscured.

the climb.

So we had no choice but to grit our teeth and climb up.

Digging is not an option; Kang had already proven this method. The ancient walls, built by the gods themselves, extend even deeper underground than they do above ground, making it impossible to dig through them.

So, apart from enduring the spells of the Emerald Temple priests to climb upwards, there's only one other way: chisel!

Whether it was explosives or bombardment, they used everything at once.

This is the current situation on this side of the city wall.

On the south side, countless soldiers carrying sharp pickaxes were desperately climbing up the wall, while the soldiers on the north side were trying their best to carve a gap in the wall.

However, this almost primitive way of fighting naturally came at a heavy price.

More and more of their people fell from the sky on the south side. Once they climbed halfway up the city wall, the spells of the priests of the Emerald Temple above could hit them with pinpoint accuracy.

Some people were hit by fireballs, and before their divine bodies even fell to the ground, half of them were already burned away.

The attack from the north was even more difficult. Hundreds of soldiers carried shields and set up a man-made defensive fortification below, while those in front frantically hammered at the walls.

But progress was far too slow, and the defenses made of shields were far from enough to withstand the stone pillars and giant logs falling from the city walls.

...

It was almost exactly the same thing that happened in that cave back then.

The older ones were the first to climb, carrying shields or wearing axes. They were crushed to death, and the younger ones continued to follow, picking up the blood-stained shields and axes, and continuing to climb.

This is a tacit understanding of survival formed by the survivors of the restricted area over thousands of years. They do not need orders or commands; they know when it is their turn to step up.

Even in the mountains behind them, some scarred tribe boys, barely ten years old, stared with bloodshot eyes, clenching their fists and ready to pounce. They knew very well that behind them were their tribesmen who were even weaker and more powerless than themselves. They had no choice, nor were they afraid.

...

Boom!
Boom—

thump—

Rumble…

The walls of Os-Nargai were hammered repeatedly against their base.

Each strike caused the priests on the city wall to tremble, because the entire city wall was trembling.

...

In that spot, surrounded by hundreds of shields, an old man, his body withered and decaying, dragged his heavy hammer and pounded it against the city wall again and again.

That was Kang, the blacksmith of the Scarface tribe.

It was all these children behind him who gave Kang the courage to keep living, and today, he also wanted to carve out a way for these children to survive.
