    "Keep fighting!" roared the sergeant, whose sword had been cut off and now looking for a new weapon.  The demon soldiers rushed up the city wall desperately, each of them carrying a barrel filled with oil and a torch.  They were like ants, constantly climbing up. Even if they were cut down to the ground, they would smash the barrels and throw the torches out before they could.  As their numbers increased, raging fires soon broke out on the city, causing great pressure on the Atak people.

    What¡¯s worse is that the flames have blocked the communication between the Atak people, and the Atak soldiers surrounded by the flames will soon be swallowed up.  The water magician continued to release magic, but he was unable to withstand the successive attacks of the demon soldiers.  As if they had no consciousness or emotions, they kept climbing ladders and siege towers, rushing towards the city walls.

    The sergeant wiped his face, which was covered with thick blood. The heat wave around him forced away the coldness of the heavy snow.  He felt a little deaf in his ears. The damn "Thunder Beast IV" had ruined many people's hearing.  He looked around. The corpses of the Atak people and the corpses of the Demons were piled together. He had a feeling that he was the only one left in the world.  The sergeant threw the broken sword to the ground and picked up a hatchet.  The two demon soldiers jumped over the flames and rushed towards the sergeant, who faced them without fear.  In a fierce hand-to-hand encounter, the noncommissioned officer used a tomahawk to open the belly of an enemy, and another Lan Roger light infantry slashed the noncommissioned officer's breastplate.

    "That's enough!" The sergeant raised his tomahawk and struck the enemy in the face with the handle, knocking him down.  The sergeant added two axes and killed the enemy.  After doing all this, the sergeant felt tired. He sat next to the city wall and panted.  The loud shouts of killing failed to wake him up, and he now entered a state of confusion, falling into endless memories.  He even had the feeling that he had never experienced a war and everything was just a dream.  The sergeant patted his helmet and told himself where he was now.  But his mind couldn't help but go back to the days when he was running on the streets with a hoe many years ago.

    If he didn¡¯t get thirty gold coins a month as military pay, he wouldn¡¯t be too lazy to join the army, let alone become a non-commissioned officer.

    He is very tired. The killings in recent days have made many soldiers mentally unstable, and noncommissioned officers are about to become one of them.  At this time, a group of soldiers ran up the stairs.  "Someone has come to replace me." The sergeant thought vaguely. He turned around and found that there was a wooden ladder set up on the crenel next to him, and many demon soldiers were climbing up.

    "Since someone has come to replace me." The sergeant raised his head, and even the clouds were dim in the dark sky.  He was stunned for a moment, how much these clouds looked like his father, mother, wife, and daughter.  The sergeant shook his head. They had all been blown to pieces by the "Thunder Beast IV".  The noncommissioned officer looked at the ladder. The nearest soldier Lan Roger was only ten meters away from him.

    "Atake!" The sergeant jumped up and jumped down from the crenel.  He didn't know how many demons his body had knocked down. He only knew that the ground was getting closer to him, and the underworld was getting closer to him He was finally free from the war.

    "Why is he!" Jestang's eyes widened as he watched the sergeant jump off the city wall.

    "He is desperate, I can feel it." Lear moved forward step by step, his left leg still aching. "The wheel of war has crushed the sanity of many people, whether nobles or soldiers."

    "Be prepared for battle." Larov ordered.

    "The demon army doesn't want us to rest." Bert said.

    "There is a siege tower coming towards this section of the city wall." Jestang saw a siege tower in the distance, slowly advancing towards this section.  The siege tower is very tall and very strong. It is filled with soldiers. Once it is connected to the city wall, it means that this section of the city wall will be overwhelmed by a steady stream of soldiers.  On the top platform of the siege tower, there were many crossbowmen from the Lan Roger Empire, shooting from a high position, causing great damage to the soldiers on the wall.  At the bottom of the siege tower, there are several powerful monsters pulling the siege machine. They are rough-skinned and thick-flesh, and ordinary bows and arrows cannot kill them.

    The archers in the siege tower in front have suffered many casualties, with about two hundred people left.  They are a great threat to the Atak Legion, so most of the magic and arrows are concentrated on the platform.  It can be said that the crossbowman who was sent to the top platform has been sentenced to death.  It is true that they can kill many enemies, but they are also exposed to the enemy's sight.  Many crossbowmen stayed up there trembling, waiting for their own death.

    "The fire can't hurt them." Jessdown judged, "There is a thick layer of metal on the outside of this siege tower."

    "Can you scare the beasts pulling the siege tower?" Shiluo often uses the chaos of the beasts to kill prey. Now this trick can also be used to deal with the demons. "I think as long as one of them loses power, the entire siege tower will be destroyed."  The city tower is about to stop.¡±

    "I'll give it a try. They don't have high intelligence and may be resistant to mental magic." JieWhen he waved the staff, a black light flew out from the top of the staff and engulfed the head of a beast of burden.  It looked up to the sky and howled a few times, then stopped.  As soon as it stopped, the entire siege tower lost enough power and could only stay motionless in place.

    Jestang chanted the curse again, and the dark blazing fireball exploded on the forehead of the beast of burden.  When it was stimulated by the flames, it became even more manic and restless.  The beast of burden broke free from the ropes that bound it, growled and began to scamper around.  The other beasts of burden also became uneasy when their partners made such a fuss.  Many of them imitated their companions, breaking away from the ropes and running around on the battlefield. The huge beasts of burden ran up and trampled many demon soldiers to death.

    "Successful!" Jessdown was very happy.

    A large amount of magic is tilted towards this unique siege tower. After all, it has stopped and is easier to target than other siege towers.  No matter how strong it is, it cannot withstand such a dense magic offensive. What's more, magic from various elements gathers together, and some of it merges into chaos magic, which has even more terrifying destructive power.

    "Roar!" A demon lord flew into the air. It had a pair of huge black wings and its body was extremely strong.  Aggressive and brave, the demon lord quickly flew behind the siege tower and pushed it with his arms.  One demon lord is worth the power of dozens of beasts of burden.  Two beasts of burden that were unable to escape in time were crushed into pulp by the siege tower.  With the assistance of the demon lord, the siege tower moved forward rapidly and slammed heavily on the city wall.  Suffering such a heavy blow, the demon archers on the top platform fell off the siege tower like raindrops and turned into an indistinguishable mixture of flesh and blood.

    The upper part of the siege tower was twisted into a ball, and many soldiers inside had been shocked to death or fell to death.  The demon lord didn't care about the life and death of the demon soldiers. It only knew that it successfully connected the siege tower to the city wall, so it flew away with satisfaction.  Even as powerful as a demon lord, he would not dare to face the attacks of countless dragon crossbows and magicians.

    As Bastanay struggled to maintain his balance, the siege tower crashed in front of him.  The gate of the tower is right in front, and it has been somewhat damaged.  Soon, the roar of the demon soldiers came from the tower. They opened the crooked door, rushed out on the blood on the ground, and jumped onto the city wall.  The Leitening roared and swung their swords to fight the enemy.  These demon soldiers in front of them are obviously experienced veterans who know how to jump down and will not fall like the new recruits.

    "Don't let them break through!" Larov issued the order, "This kind of thing will never be allowed to happen."

    Bert took the lead, wielding a bloody giant sword. He was like a huge meat grinder, and most of the demon soldiers who approached him died.  Demon soldiers poured out of the tower one after another, seemingly endless and impossible to kill them all.  Countless soldiers were waiting in line under the tower, planning to rush up the city wall along the stairs inside the tower.  Seeing that the siege tower had successfully connected to the city wall, more demon infantry gathered around, intending to use this breakthrough point to break through the city wall.

    "Pay attention here!" The Atak soldiers would not allow the demons to come up so easily.  Where the defensive pressure was relatively light, the officer sent some soldiers to support the place. The dragon-shooting crossbow also changed its direction. The huge crossbow arrows continued to shoot the soldiers running out of the tower into pieces. The battle was extremely fierce, and it was impossible to tell who belonged to them.  Blood stained the ground.

    This place has become a bone crushing field.

    The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and under the cover of the blizzard, dozens of gargoyles flew towards this section of the city wall.  The investigating soldiers saw that there were four to five soldiers on each gargoyle, and they tied themselves to the gargoyle with ropes.  These gargoyles can still fly freely in the snow, and most of the time they use hearing to determine their location.

    Even so, many gargoyles were shot.  They fell to the ground with the demon soldiers on them and died together.

    When they are still a certain distance away from the city wall, they fly at low altitude.  As the distance shortened, they made an extremely risky move - they quickly lifted up, turned around in the air, then turned around and flew towards the camp.  As they were being pulled up, the soldiers clinging to them cut the ropes with short swords and fell onto the city wall by inertia.  They must have done similar exercises many times, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to land on the city wall accurately.  Although some people jumped too early or jumped too high and died, their number was far less than the number of soldiers who successfully landed.

    "They actually used this method to force their way onto the wall!" Lear's eyes widened, "I've never heard of this kind of air landing."

    There are more gargoyles, rushing towards them with soldiers.  The location where the demon soldiers landed was basically at the back of the city wall, where they attacked the Atak people together with the soldiers in the siege tower.  Now, the situation here is getting more and more critical.
