Chapter 496 Rushing to the City Wall
In a siege battle, not long after the battle started, the attacking party directly climbed onto the city wall. This kind of case is quite rare in the entire history.
Originally, the Enwei Demon Kingdom army expected that the city wall alone could block Viola for at least half a month. For this reason, they prepared a large number of rolling stones and wood in advance for easy use when defending the city.
Good thing this time, it was all in vain.
It rained heavily, which was actually detrimental to the attackers. Not only did they have to brave the rain to rush to the bottom of the city wall, they also had to climb up against the raindrops, which was far more physically demanding than normal.
But this heavy rain came by such a coincidence and accurately cooled down the red-hot city wall. It was intentional no matter how you looked at it.
The good news is that despite the large amount of smoke, at least people can enter the city wall. The officers quickly ordered the soldiers to go up and stop Viola's army, and the two sides started fighting around the city wall.
Bad news...
That is, no one knows when a light will light up on their head. If the operation just performed is repeated, or repeated a few times, the city wall will be difficult to handle.
The general who was paying close attention to the city wall felt his feet shake at this moment. This feeling was even worse.
Sure enough, when he looked down from the tower window, he saw that Viola's soldiers were already smashing the city gate with construction hammers.
The City of Silver has no moat. Although there are rivers around the city that can provide irrigation and water transportation needs, the royal family of Avarus has never ordered excavation.
One of the important reasons was that the moat was too ugly, and the royal family of Avarus did not believe that the enemy would directly attack the capital.
In order to deal with Viola's attack, the Enwei Demon Kingdom army was of course prepared as much as possible, but the project of digging a moat was a bit big, and they did not expect that Viola's soldiers would start attacking so quickly. city gate.
The hidden barrier near the city gate was opened, and the soldiers of the Enwei Demon Kingdom threw stones or fired crossbows, trying to prevent Viola's army from breaking down the gate.
A large number of soldiers were also carrying sandbags behind the gate in an attempt to block the gate.
There is a saying that the gate of the Silver City is very strong and is said to be enchanted. Even if it is blasted with a powerful magic that can destroy an army, it may not be able to be blasted open.
The battering ram held by the soldiers could not be opened even if they were allowed to smash it for a day.
The general was a little relieved, but at this moment a dazzling white aura erupted from the direction of the city gate, and the general once again felt his heart in his throat.
--hold head high!
Accompanied by a terrifying roar, a white dragon appeared under the city gate. The defender's crossbows hit the scales, which didn't even scratch the scales. To deal with the dragon, it required crossbows and specialized dragon-killing arrows to be effective. But now to call it. Where is the time for the ballista?
Don’t forget, the ballistas and trebuchets on the city wall were basically burned to the ground.
The white dragon Renya had always been among the soldiers, and she did not reveal her true form until she was close to the city gate, just because she was afraid of being attacked by the ballistae on the city wall.
This is the time for her to show off her power.
She directly grabbed the battering ram held in the soldier's hand. The battering ram, which required dozens or twenty people to carry, was like a long stick in Bailong's hand. She took the end reinforced by the iron hoop and struck hard. Fight hard at the city gate.
The dragon's physical ability is far beyond that of a mortal. This blow is more effective than a dozen hits from a soldier. The violent shaking almost made the general who was standing on the tower looking at the entire battlefield almost fall down. The staff officer on the side hurriedly supported him.
The dragon is indeed very powerful, but the enchanted city gate is not a good-looking one. Even if it is a dragon, it is not easy to break it open.
At least it can hold on for the time being, but the siege troops surrounding the city gate must be dealt with as soon as possible.

On the other side of the battlefield, Viola was riding a horse, looking at the battle in the distance somewhat unhappily. She was obviously the one who led the charge when the war started, but when the fight actually started, she hid behind the soldiers. It felt like she was retreating from the battle.
But in fact it was not Viola who flinched, but Zora who firmly pulled her back.
She is the only direct bloodline left in the royal family of Avarus, so there can't be any accidents.
It just so happened that this princess was the type who would really fall in love with her if something happened. Zola and the knights of the guard had to go to great lengths to drag Viola back, and even tied two ropes around her waist, lest she take advantage of the guard. The knights suddenly ran away again while they were distracted.
"Just leave the command to Wendy, don't stop me."
"Your Highness, can you just stay here honestly..."
Being able to break up and reorganize all the troops brought by more than a dozen lords, and it only took a few days, Wendy's work ability is indeed worthy of the title of military advisor.
But the commander-in-chief of the first army personally took the lead and left everything to the military advisor. Are you too brave?
"Your Majesty is watching me. He gave me divine power just so that I can take the lead."
"I think Your Majesty gave you divine power because you were obviously afraid that something might happen to you if you rushed too far forward..."
No matter what, Zola must not let go, otherwise the princess will rush into the enemy camp in a blink of an eye.
At this moment, a deep horn sound came from the left. Viola picked up the telescope and took a look. She clearly saw nearly twenty war elephants staggering around from the left, as if about to launch a charge. Block the advancing path of the attacking troops from the sides.
The Demon Kingdom of Enwei is very good at taming monsters, and there are many strange creatures among their troops.
But it has to be said that a war elephant more than ten meters high with the archers on its back is a mobile fortress. If you approach twenty war elephants, you don’t need to attack. As long as they charge over, they will cause huge damage to the soldiers charging in a dense formation. casualties.
It should be said that there are only twenty of them. It is not easy to raise these things. Enwei Demon King's army cannot raise too many.
The commanding task has been completely handed over to Wendy, and of course Wendy has also received news of the approaching war elephant troops.
This time, the sound of the departure horn came from Viola's camp. A group of cavalry armed with ultra-long lances rode towards the left, trying to stop the war elephant troops.
Many of them are Viola's guard knights, and some are professional priests of the Demon King's Cult. You can see the auras of various magics flashing during the charge, wrapping the cavalry team in colorful colors. Lots of buffs.
Viola was about to gallop her horse to follow, but was immediately stopped by Zola.
"Your Highness, please stop joining in the fun!"
Zola felt so tired, and she was usually easy to say anything, but once on the battlefield, Viola was like a husky, giving up or not.
Although the war elephants are strong, they are not many in number, and cavalry harassment is enough to hold them back.
Of course, the Enwei Demon Kingdom army also knows this.
Accompanied by the shrill cries of eagles, through the telescope, Viola saw a group of birds with colorful feathers that were larger than horses soaring from the Silver City.
"Sure enough, they are here, it's the Dragon Eagle Knights."
