Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

With Emperor Lin's command, the suppressed fighting spirit erupted!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The war drums of the allied forces struck the hearts of every soldier like thunder.

"Kill—" The deafening battle cries pierced the sky as the 30,000-strong allied army charged towards Rift Sky City like a flood bursting its banks!

The white tiger shone with golden light, and an aura of dominance belonging to an ancient divine beast swept across the entire area. Its massive body was the first to charge towards the city gate.

Closely following behind was Niu Ben, the chieftain of the Ironhoofed Bull Clan. The battle axe in his hand gleamed with an earthy yellow light, and he roared like muffled thunder: "For our fallen comrades, for our homeland, charge!!"

"Kill!" Thousands of Ironhoof Bull warriors shouted in unison, clad in heavy plate armor and wielding battle axes, their target pointing directly at the South Gate!

On the city wall, runes suddenly lit up, forming a light curtain that firmly protected the entire city.

"Fire arrows!"

"Ballista, prepare to fire!"

On the city wall, the Black Armor Guard commander in charge issued orders.

"咻咻咻咻——"

A dense rain of arrows poured down like dark clouds, each arrow carrying a sharp edge capable of piercing armor.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Dozens of giant crossbows emitted a teeth-grinding creak, and bolts as thick as arms whistled through the air, accurately striking the White Tiger and Bull Ben charging ahead.

Scorching hot oil, rolling logs, and boulders rained down from the city walls like hail, attempting to halt the allied forces' advance.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

The arrows rained down on the white tiger's protective golden shield, making a crisp sound, but they couldn't penetrate it even a fraction. Facing the giant crossbow bolts that were being fired, the white tiger neither dodged nor avoided them, but directly used his arm, which was comparable to divine iron, to meet them head-on. With a loud "bang," the crossbow bolts were sent flying, and he only swayed slightly.

"Open the mountain!"

Chief Niu Ben roared and swung his giant axe. A huge, earthen-yellow axe shadow flew out of his hand, cleaving several boulders and logs coming towards him into pieces. The Iron-Hoofed Bull Clan warriors behind him withstood the rain of arrows and used their strong bodies to smash through the obstacles, ignoring the oil and stones falling from above. Their eyes were only on the city gate!

"boom!!"

Baihu was the first to arrive at the city gate. He gathered all his strength and slammed his fist into the city gate.

"Boom!!"

Niu Ben and thousands of Ironhoof Bull warriors followed closely behind, their bodies and weapons slamming and hacking at the massive city gate and energy shield.

However, the defenses of Rift City were even stronger than they had imagined. The city gates were forged from ten-thousand-year-old obsidian, making them incredibly hard. The energy shields on the city walls were also remarkably resilient. Although the fierce attacks from the White Tiger and the Bull Clan caused the city gates to tremble slightly, they were ultimately unable to break through them.

The defenders on the city walls quickly organized a counterattack, unleashing a barrage of arrows and crossbow bolts. Some demon sorcerers skilled in ranged attacks also began casting spells: ice spikes, fireballs, wind blades, poison mist... a web of death woven together, covering the allied forces below the city.

"Pfft!"

"Ah!" A charging Minotaur warrior was shot through the plate armor by several crossbow bolts, screamed in agony, and fell into a pool of blood.

"Ah!" Another soldier was set ablaze by the oil, letting out a painful scream as he rolled on the ground.

The siege was brutal from the very beginning. Blood stained the ground beneath the city, severed limbs were everywhere, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and burning flesh.

However, the morale of the allied forces did not decline as a result. Instead, they were inspired by the blood and fire and became even more determined to fight. They knew that their homes and loved ones were behind them, and they had nowhere to retreat!

"Charge for our homeland!"

More warriors trampled over the corpses of their comrades, roaring as they charged toward the city walls, using their flesh and blood to assault the seemingly insurmountable barrier.

Just as the South Gate was embroiled in a fierce battle, a sudden change occurred in the skies above Rift Sky City!

A clear and majestic phoenix cry resounded through the sky!

A fiery red figure shot into the sky like a burning meteor, spreading its magnificent wings in the air—it was Zhuque. At this moment, she had not transformed into her full phoenix form, but remained in human form, but her body was engulfed in raging phoenix fire, and a pair of huge fiery wings on her back gently flapped, exuding an awe-inspiring divine beast pressure.

"Phoenix Fire Rain!"

Suzaku hovered high in the sky, his hands forming a hand seal, and golden fireballs fell from the sky like a meteor shower, accurately striking the crossbow.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Phoenix fire is not only extremely hot, but also has the properties of purification and magic destruction. Where the fireball falls, screams of agony rise up. Whether it is sturdy armor or crossbows reinforced with defensive runes, they all melt and burn rapidly under the flames of the phoenix fire.

"It's the divine beast Vermilion Bird!"

"Quickly, activate the air defense array!"

"Archers, sorcerers, launch aerial attacks!"

The defenders on the city wall reacted immediately, shooting several thick beams of energy at the Vermilion Bird, while a barrage of arrows and various spells rained down on it from above.

However, as an ancient divine beast, the Vermilion Bird possessed an abundance of combat experience. Her movements were agile, like a spirit of fire, weaving and dodging amidst a barrage of attacks. With each flap of her wings, she stirred up scorching air currents, directly incinerating incoming arrows and low-level spells.

Sometimes she would swoop down and spew out phoenix flames, turning a section of the city wall into a sea of ​​fire; other times she would circle around and summon firebirds to harass the enemy commanders and sorcerers.

The Suzaku's aerial suppression greatly relieved the pressure on the ground troops and threw the defenders on the city walls into chaos, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent siege.

Meanwhile, outside the west gate, Youming used illusion magic to create the illusion that a large coalition army was gathering outside the city, preparing to attack. At the same time, he flicked his finger, and clusters of ghostly fire flew towards the defensive supplies and tents piled up near the city wall.

"Fire has broken out! Enemy attack outside the west gate!"

"Go and support Ximen immediately!"

The garrison at the West Gate was overwhelmed by the sudden "enemy activity" and the strange flames that were burning everywhere, and a large number of their troops were tied up in the West Gate direction.

Outside the North Gate, beneath the surface of the moat, Fei Dan, the chieftain of the Crocodile Lizard Clan, led hundreds of his people to silently approach the base of the city wall. Using water-based magic, they continuously eroded and damaged the underwater portion of the wall. Although they could not cause damage in a short time, it was enough to force the North Gate garrison to devote a great deal of energy to investigating and defending against the underwater threat.

Although the feint attacks by Youming and Feidan were not as impressive as those at Nanmen, they effectively dispersed the enemy's forces and disrupted the overall defensive deployment of Lietian City.

The team led by Baihu and Niuben repeatedly rammed the city gates and energy shields, and the number of corpses piling up at the foot of the city walls increased, with blood flowing like streams.

The defenses of Rift City were too strong. Although the energy shield dimmed under the continuous attacks, the city gate remained unmoved.

"This can't go on, the casualties are too high!" Di Lin stood at the rear, looking at the tragic scene at the front, his brows furrowed.

Just then, Lu Lingxi Yao, who had been concentrating with her eyes closed, slowly opened them. After continuous mental scanning and spatial perception through the Kunlun Ring, she finally found a breakthrough!

She walked to Di Lin's side and pointed to an area on the left side of the south gate on the map, near the third arrow tower. "The energy flow here is noticeably sluggish, and the rune connections seem to have a barely perceptible crack due to their structural problems. This is the weakest point in Rift Sky City's defenses!"

She looked at Di Lin and said, "Immediately order Bai Hu and Niu Ben to concentrate all their forces and attack this point!"

Di Lin immediately relayed Lu Lingxi Yao's instructions to Bai Hu and Niu Ben at the front line through a special communication method.

Upon receiving the command, the White Tiger's massive body erupted with even more dazzling golden light once more, and it turned and charged towards the direction designated by Lu Lingxi.

"Brothers, follow me!" Niu Ben roared, leading the elite of the Iron Hoof Bull Clan to charge towards that weak point.

Just as the ground troops adjusted their attack direction, Lu Lingxi Yao also took action. She quickly formed hand seals, and a vast and powerful force gathered in front of her.

"Space-Time Vortex - Shattering Slash!" she shouted softly, pointing her right index finger at the weak point.

"Shoot-"

A thin, silvery-gray line, almost invisible to the naked eye, instantly ripped through space, ignoring distance and the obstruction of energy shields, and precisely struck the node where energy was stagnant. This strike used the cutting power of the laws of space, directly acting on the array structure itself.

At the very instant the Shattering Slash struck, White Tiger's heavy fist, Niu Ben's mountain-splitting axe, and the weapons of thousands of allied soldiers, as if by prior agreement, slammed into the same spot.

A sharp crack echoed across the entire battlefield.

On the left side of the south gate, below the third arrow tower, the energy shield on the city wall area began to fluctuate violently. Then, spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly from the attacked node.

"Boom——"

Amidst the astonished and ecstatic gazes of the allied soldiers, accompanied by a deafening roar, a section of the city wall, tens of feet high, along with the arrow towers and guards on it, collapsed with a crash. As debris flew and dust billowed, a huge gap appeared on the south wall of Rift Sky City!

"The city wall has been breached!"

"Come on -"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the allied forces erupted in deafening cheers, their eyes blazing with a frenzied fire, their morale soaring to its peak.

"Charge in—"

White Tiger charged towards the breach first, followed closely by Niu Ben and the warriors of the Iron Hoof Bull Clan, roaring and surging into the city like a flood bursting its banks.

"Stop them! Seal the breach!" The commander of the Black Armor Guards on the city wall roared in terror, immediately mobilizing nearby elite troops in an attempt to stop the allied forces from pouring in.

At the breach, allied soldiers clashed violently with the Black Armor Guards who had come from inside the city to block them, their shouts, screams, and the clash of weapons creating a cacophony of sounds.
