Chapter 740: Siege warfare

Attack!

Attack!

Attack!

The continuous bombardment of mortars finally stopped as the soldiers of West Gran charged towards the city walls of Mondra. Once the soldiers had breached the walls, it was impossible for the artillery to continue shelling. However, Mondra’s army, which had already been riddled with holes by the shelling, found it difficult to organize a decent defense. The ballistae that were supposed to fire relentlessly from the city walls were now taking a long time to shoot a single arrow. The archers, who were supposed to be queued up on the walls, had already lost their spirit due to the mortars and were now hiding in the trenches, making it difficult to immediately restore the defenses of the city walls.

Mondra shouted from his hiding place, "The shelling has stopped! Let the soldiers return to their positions!"

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are afraid that if they go back, the shelling will start again. They dare not move."

"Their soldiers have already rushed in. How could they possibly continue shelling? Are they not afraid of hitting their own people?" Mondra roared, "Arrange it quickly."

Mondra’s army began hurriedly restoring their positions. The soldiers ran out from behind their shields, hidden trenches, small ditches, and dilapidated buildings and rushed towards the city walls. However, by this time, the siege towers of West Gran had already pushed up against the walls.

The siege tower was extremely high, even taller than the city walls.

The archers standing on the siege tower drew their bows and shot a volley of arrows at Mondra’s army coming up to fill the gaps.

Robb's freshly made boxwood bow was incredibly powerful. The arrows it fired not only had the power to penetrate armor, but even arrows that missed the target had an extra hit rate that could turn them around to hit the enemy. It was unbelievable.

Mondra’s army had just rushed up to the city walls and already suffered heavy losses...

They only now realized how difficult it was to regain control of the city walls. The purpose of the enemy's shelling was to drive them away from their original defensive points and then easily take them over. It was similar to when they had gone outside the fortress of West Gran a few days ago to release poisonous gas.

A large number of skeleton soldiers finally rushed to the bottom of the city walls. However, before they could start climbing the walls, a golden light appeared along the outer edge of the walls. A huge golden barrier suddenly unfolded and stopped the skeleton soldiers outside.

A few of the faster skeleton soldiers crashed into the golden barrier and were immediately enveloped by the golden light, exploding into pieces.

"It's the Holy Light Sanctuary!"

"A giant Holy Light Sanctuary!"

This city was called the Capital of Saints, Mondra's stronghold and a fortress that the Archbishop of the Church of Light had been managing for a long time. How could there be a shortage of magic barriers? Especially the Holy Light Sanctuary, which was one of the most important weapons of the Church of Light in the fight against the Church of Darkness.

The skeleton soldiers were blocked at the bottom of the walls...
