Witch Special

The retreat of the demon army was only temporary. Although they left behind hundreds of corpses during the first contact, those who were hot-headed and disobeyed orders were originally the lowest-level cannon fodder, consumables used to test the intensity of the resistance of the Silent City. If they died, they died. The overall strength of several magic organizations was not affected at all.

Although people in the demon world are generally tough and tend to act impulsively without thinking, they still have to at least obey orders. Otherwise, what does the commander want you to do? Is he specifically asking you to do something bad?

In the last battle, none of the Demon Realm army's officers were deployed, so naturally, their direct troops also did not survive. As for the group that died, they were just abandoned pawns.

But this time it was different. After seeing the defense measures of the Silent City, the army of the demon world deployed its troops and pressed forward.

In the front row were a large number of elemental creatures, elves from the "Second Covenant" and enslaved by contract. Behind these cannon fodder elves were Tarakuta's magician troops. At the back, the ancient library's mage scholars were tinkering with several large boiler-like machines, each sweating profusely.

Three of the four major magical organizations deployed, but the Xiaxiu faction, the largest in number, did not seem to intend to participate in this attack. They stayed in the safety of the rear, rather lazily, but also maintained a relatively dense formation, ready to charge into the battlefield at any time.

Is the Xiaxiu Sect acting as a reserve force? Or are they just going to watch the show? Lin Zhenxi looked at the strange formation of the demon army and wondered with some confusion.

Buffon would not allow these enemies to approach the Silent City, especially now that its outer protective shield had been damaged and could not be repaired. As soon as the demonic army passed the blue crystal in the center of the square, countless exits opened up in the outer walls of the Silent City. An almost endless number of mass-produced robots poured out, instantly converging into a black wave that rushed towards the enemies below.

But this time, the enemy of the Mechanical Legion changed from a disorderly ragtag army to an elite force with unified command, and the result was completely different.

Surprisingly, the first to be struck weren't the demonic forces, but the Silent City's mass-produced robots, equipped with long-range firepower. Behind the demonic forces, the massive boiler, tinkered with by the ancient library's magecraft scholars, suddenly erupted with a ferocious explosion. From the upper furnace opening, a dazzling golden flame erupted. As the golden flames danced, a flood of flame-coated stones erupted, showering the mechanical army directly ahead like an anti-aircraft barrage.

After reaching a certain height, the rocks exploded under the influence of the golden flames. The explosion was quite shocking, like countless iron craftsmen swinging their boards and sending molten iron into the air. In an instant, countless golden sparks flew all over the sky, illuminating the entire sky in a golden color.

These sparks weren't just beautiful to look at; their lethality was terrifying. Even the metal bodies of the flying mechanical dragons melted through in a fraction of a second after coming into contact with the molten slag, leaving them riddled with holes. They quickly lost their ability to fly and fell from the sky.

The Silent City air force was wiped out by the slag, and the ground forces were forcibly stopped by the elves bound by the "Second Promise." Enslaved by the translucent "Ring of Domination," the shackled elves were stripped of their own consciousness, becoming fearless and incomparably violent.

Ice Face Plate (Iceness), Fire Head (Adeyan), Lightning Ball (Revos), Black Bean Sprout (Sermintek), these elemental elves are densely crowded in front of the battlefield, like ears of wheat about to be harvested in the wheat field, facing the sickle of the mechanical army to reap life.

These elves completely ignored any injuries they might inflict, solely focused on destroying the mass-produced robots before them. Their fighting style was also quite terrifying: braving the hail of bullets from the mechanical army, they charged close to the mass-produced robots, then, without a word, exploded. Even if these elves sustained significant injuries in their approach, as long as their cores were intact, the power of their explosions would remain unaffected by the extent of their injuries, allowing them to unleash their full power.

As the saying goes, the stupid are afraid of the aggressive, and the aggressive are afraid of the desperate. Even if each member of the mechanical army has a machine brain and does not know what fear is, and does not feel sad when they suffer losses, they are still helpless when they meet opponents who just want to rush up and self-destruct.

The point is, these elves seemed to be treated even worse than the mass-produced robots back in Silent City. Not only were they being decimated in the front, but the Tarakuta magicians in the back row also completed a collective chant of supernatural magic. As a massive ice-blue magic circle unfolded in the air, tiny frost stars quickly fell from the sky. However, as these white points of light descended from the sky, massive icicles rose into the sky, enveloping the entire center of the battlefield, including the elves.

As the legion-level feast of extreme ice unfolded, all the enslaved elves of the demonic army were instantly annihilated, but the Silent City's mechanical army also suffered heavy casualties. More crucially, the entire area was engulfed in countless small iceberg-like icicles, extending almost all the way to the gates of the Silent City's massive tower. This single spell destroyed the mechanical army's strategic depth at the Silent City gates.

Lin Zhenxi, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but retreat strategically upon seeing the magical effects before him. While the Tarakuta Magicians' Extreme Ice Feast wasn't a forbidden spell, the devastation it caused over several hundred thousand square meters was enough to alter the course of a battle.

The collective chanting of tactical-level legion magic, Tarakuta really came up with something real.

But in such an environment, the demon army can’t get in, right?

As soon as Lin Zhenxi had this thought, she noticed that the group of Xiaxiu Sect members, originally in the back row, began to move rapidly. Led by a green-haired person, the numerous Xiaxiu Sect members formed a loose spearhead formation and launched a surprise attack in the direction of Silent City.

A magic circle appeared beneath the feet of the Tarakuta mages, and they collectively stepped on it and flew into the air, clearing a path for the Xiaxiu faction's army to advance. The huge icicles produced by the Extreme Ice Feast also transformed into frost stars in the sky after the Tarakuta mages cut off their magic power supply. They flew into the sky on the icy mist and quickly dissipated.

Those icicles looked so terrifying, yet they crumbled so easily. Was their structure inherently unstable, or was the magic so ingeniously designed that they could self-destruct so quickly?

No matter what, it cannot change the result, that is, the Xiu Sect is already right in front of them, and the mechanical army of Silent City has no time to redeploy the field.

If the enemy truly broke into Silent City, its mechanical army would be effectively destroyed. In the cramped conditions of a building, individual strength was clearly more important than collective power. And in terms of high-end combat power, Silent City, with only a dozen or so officers, clearly couldn't gain an advantage against the demonic army of the four major magical organizations.

In order to stabilize the situation, we must guard the gate of Silent City and stop the demon army outside the giant tower of Silent City!

Lin Zhenxi also knew that Buffon still had many cards in his hand, so even though the Xiuxiu faction was about to rush over, she didn't feel too anxious.

Trust Buffon. She prioritizes the safety of Silent City above all else, even above herself. To stop the advance of the Xiaxiu faction, shouldn't Buffon reveal her new trump card?

"Iron Will Nemegate, release the Dragon Breath Cannon." Buffon's voice sounded coldly above the square.

At the same time, in the direction of the square in Silent City, a red light suddenly lit up on a metal panel. The red quickly upgraded to gold and continued to turn white.

But the armor could no longer withstand the intense heat and began to melt at an extremely rapid rate. Without the obstructing steel plate, the object generating the terrifyingly high temperature finally revealed its true form.

Nemegate, a dragon-shaped war weapon Luke modeled after Bakar, normally guards the energy furnace of Silent City. As the name suggests, this location is the source of Silent City's energy, and its importance is self-evident. Given its role as guardian, Nemegate possesses immense strength commensurate with its responsibilities.

Beyond its immense strength, Nemegate's most significant attributes were its territorial awareness and ferocious, violent nature. Due to its overly vigilant nature, any living creature that entered the energy furnace would be subjected to its frenzied attack. Even Bechi, the most mischievous child in Silent City, dared not play in the area Nemegate was in charge of.

Aside from its creator, Luke, the only person who could make Nemegate obey was Buffon. Luke gave Buffon the authority to command all mechanical life in the Silent City, including Nemegate.

This time, to defend against external enemies, Buffon moved Nemegate from the energy furnace to a turret facing the square in front of the gate, shielding it with a metal plate. Now the Kashou sect's arrow array was directly facing Nemegate, making it the perfect target for the attack.

A golden-red energy column gushed out from the gap, distorting the air along its path, and blasted straight towards the Xiu Sect's team.
