Chapter 261 The Real Offensive
As night fell, the soldiers on Guanyue City still kept their eyes fixed on the front.
For them, the intense defensive battles of the past few days had left them feeling exhausted, and many soldiers, though standing there, were in a state of mental confusion.
However, Liu Xun's successful verbal battle yesterday did give them some psychological relief.
After all, even ordinary generals wouldn't launch a retaliatory attack at such a time, let alone the famous White Horse Silver General.
Sure enough, the area in front of Guanyue City remained silent all night. As dawn approached, the soldiers guarding the city finally relaxed their guard.
It seems that Baiyun Temple won't launch an attack today.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Zhou Fei, who was in the barracks in Guanyue City, taking off his armor and preparing to rest, suddenly froze, and stood there blankly for a moment.
Suddenly, a figure draped in a yellow kasaya flashed in his pupils. He shuddered as if trying to shake off the strange feeling, but blood vessels quickly appeared on his neck. Then, his pupils turned white and emitted a chilling light.
The soldiers nearby noticed Zhou Fei's unusual behavior and stepped forward to inquire:
"What's wrong, Zhou Fei?"
The next moment, Zhou Fei's large hand suddenly grabbed the person's head, and a black light emanated from his palm, enveloping the person completely.
"Ahhhhh!!"
A piercing scream instantly escaped from the man's mouth, but it stopped abruptly after only a moment, replaced by the sound of a soldier who had shrunk to the appearance of a dried-up corpse.
Zhou Fei released his grip, looked at the soldier who had fallen to the ground with a thud, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
Immediately afterwards, he slowly put on his armor, picked up the long sword and spear beside him, and slowly walked out of the barracks.
Behind him, the emaciated soldier slowly got up, turned his head slightly, glanced around with his empty eye sockets, and then walked towards the armor hanging next to the bed.
Scenes like this are constantly unfolding in the city.
At that very moment, a muffled drumbeat suddenly sounded outside Guanyue City.
The sound of the drum pierced through the morning mist and instantly reached the ears of the soldiers on the city wall, causing their expressions to change.
"Again!"
The soldiers on the city wall were already tired of the feints over the past few days, but they did not expect that the people from Baiyun Temple would launch another attack today.
"Everyone, perk up!!"
The commander on the city wall roared and then ordered the archers to take their positions.
Everyone stared intently at the foggy area ahead, waiting for the commander's order to unleash their arrows.
But to everyone's surprise, this time no burning fireball flew out of the white mist; instead, a large group of people appeared.
Killer!
This is the second time that Baiyun Temple has deployed a human assassin!
The last deployment of the Human Fiends didn't seem to have much effect. After all, these Human Fiends, transformed from ordinary people, were only slightly stronger and faster than ordinary people. They weren't so outrageous as to be able to split mountains and shatter rocks or overpower martial artists.
However, the oppressive feeling brought by such a large number of human demons was still very strong, especially since those human demons in front had already started to put on all fours and ran towards Guanyue City like a hunting dog.
“Shoot!!”
Upon seeing this, the commander on the city wall immediately roared.
As soon as he finished speaking, a barrage of arrows rained down, instantly clearing a clear area in the group of monstrous figures.
"put!"
At this moment, the second batch of archers were in position, and the commander immediately gave the order again, and another volley of arrows rushed out of the city wall.
After several waves of arrows, a large number of the charging warriors had fallen, but many dark figures still emerged from the white mist, which immediately alerted the commander on the city wall to something unusual.
There didn't seem to be this many people involved in the last incident?
Before anyone could think, the commander roared, and infantrymen armed with shields and longswords immediately stood by the city wall, ready to face the menacing figures ahead.
The archers in the rear fired a volley of arrows before taking turns, and the drums on the walls of Guanyue City were beaten, causing the soldiers who were about to lie down to get up again.
"Damn it, these idiots from Baiyun Temple, will they ever stop?!"
"Why not just open the city gates, charge out, and have a good slaughter, like this every day?!"
The soldiers inside the city began to complain, but they still quickly put on their armor and came outside to assemble.
After all, here they were either controlled brutes or god worshippers, and they had no choice but to obey orders.
But soon, they discovered something was wrong.
"Strange, where did Niu Meng go?"
Some people couldn't see their former comrades in the ranks, and some called out their names out of curiosity.
"Strange, Wang Fei is also missing!"
More and more soldiers in the ranks noticed something was wrong; they looked around, hoping to spot their comrades.
But to their surprise, these people seemed to have vanished; no matter how they called out, no one responded.
At the same time, a bright sun slowly rose in the sky outside the city gate, finally dispelling the white mist surrounding the city walls.
"this!"
The soldiers on the city wall were suddenly startled, and a chill ran down their spines as they looked at the dense black figures in front of them.
The number of murderers this time has far exceeded everyone's expectations!
A massive influx of people surged in, so large that from the city wall, they seemed to merge with the distant horizon!
"not good!!"
Upon seeing this, the garrison commander sensed something was wrong. He roared and was about to issue a warning when, in the next instant, an arrow appeared before his eyes, piercing his skull, sending him flying, and pinning him firmly to the wall behind him.
In the distance, Xiwen Wuhen put away his longbow and smiled with satisfaction as he looked at his arrow.
His verbal sparring during the day was a deliberate act of behaving so poorly, just to lower the guard of the soldiers in Guanyue City.
Now it seems that the effect is indeed good.
"Pass down the order: I must breach the city gates within one hour! Otherwise, you will all come to me with your heads!"
Xiwen Wuhen spoke calmly to the people behind him, and the other generals clasped their hands in response.
The seeds within the city have begun to sprout, and with their combined efforts from within and without, they could breach the city gates in half an hour if all goes well.
Guanyue City must fall today!!
"Damn it! Lord Wang is dead! This time it's for real!!"
On the city wall, a soldier shouted, and then a new commander raised his command flag and continued to direct the soldiers on the city wall.
The next moment, with several loud tremors, arrows as thick as tree stumps appeared out of thin air and flew towards the city wall.
"This is a city-breaking arrow!!"
Someone recognized the terrifying arrow and immediately shouted.
The next moment, the arrows slammed into the tens of meters high city wall, creating a violent explosion.
The patterns on the thick city wall lit up only briefly before going out completely, and the surface of the thick arrows, after being stuck in the wall, began to glow with an eerie luster.
"Crackling, crackling!!"
Under the illumination of these lights, the runes on the city wall burst open one after another, causing the entire city wall to shake as if an earthquake had struck.
"Damn it, this is a secret treasure of Taiping Palace! Those two bastards are involved!"
Du Jiuzhao and the others also arrived at the city wall at this time. He looked at the huge arrow stuck in the city wall below, and his eyes twitched.
Liu Xun lay on the city wall, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.
An arrow had just grazed his forehead, and this time, his master wasn't around. He only managed to dodge it because he was incredibly lucky.
"Master, this is bad. They're serious now. We can't leave even if we want to."
Liu Xun felt a pang of despair.
