Chapter 505: 493 Son of War_1

Regarding these rats wearing the same equipment, the guards behind the city gate didn’t pay much attention to them.

After all, in their eyes, these people were dressed as their own and were probably here to reinforce the defense.

So when these rats approached them, the guards behind the gate, who had not yet realized the danger to come, even greeted them in a friendly manner.

“You’re late!”

The guard squad leader behind the gate jokingly smiled at the leading rat.

The leading rat smiled as he nodded and agreed, but one hand silently pressed against the hilt of the sword at his waist. freewebnσvel.cøm

Meanwhile, the other rats around him performed similar movements.

Instinctively, the guard squad leader felt that something was wrong, but by the time he realized it, it was already a bit too late.

Following a flurry of flashing blades and stabbing swords, severed heads and splattering scenes of blood stood out.

Because it happened so suddenly, most of the guards behind the gate were unprepared, while the rats had been preparing for this moment for a long time.

Under such unequal circumstances, it wasn’t long before the guards behind the gate were dealt with.

Of course, such a huge commotion would certainly attract the attention of other guards.

At the same time, before the rats arrived here, they saw that those puppet-like special soldiers had already started moving.

Although the rats were originally the elite of the Crimson Legion and indeed stronger than ordinary soldiers,

they were much inferior compared to the Dragon Slumber Army, let alone the special forces that looked like puppets, which were the enhanced version of the Dragon Slumber Army.

Therefore, the rats’ movements had to be fast enough, and the city gate had to be opened before other guards within Lima Fortress had arrived.

To this end, they had prepared long in advance, with the terrain and the city gate’s opening method already investigated.

So after dealing with the guards behind the gate, there was almost no pause as they began to activate the switch behind the gate.

This was not a task that could be completed in a short time, but what the rats needed to do was to just deal with some troublesome buckles.

Once the buckles were taken care of, the Rat Captain tore open a magic scroll in the air.

Then, a splendid firework exploded in the sky.

Simultaneously, the Ogre’s rough roar sounded outside the city gate. Upon hearing this sound, the rats immediately retreated from the gate.

“Boom!”

With a violent bang, the heavy city gate shook violently, and a small arc was forced open.

A large number of bare-chested Ogres surrounded the massive battering ram, holding it in their arms and forcefully ramming it against the city gate.

After this strike, under the command of a goblin riding a warg, these Ogres quickly retreated and prepared for a second strike.

The guards on the city walls realized the urgency of the situation and immediately focused their attention on it.

A large group of Quilboar wielded huge, specially-made shields to protect the Ogres from the surrounding dangers.

However, some arrows from the dense rain of arrows slipped through the net, but the Ogres had thick skin and strong flesh, and a few arrows embedded in their shoulders were no big deal.

At most, it was just a little painful, and they would bleed a little more.

“Boom!”

Soon, the second round of the assault ended, and the gate of Lima Fortress was forced open to an angle that allowed small creatures like goblins to enter and exit individually.

When the Ogres retreated, several goblins holding special spherical bombs squeezed through the gap between the gates.

Then, an explosion occurred!

The few goblins who entered the city held specially-made bombs.

Goblins were abundant, and even using them in this manner would not provoke any concern.

These goblins with human bombs further damaged the gate of Lima Fortress, followed by the third heavy hammer assault by the Ogres.

This time, the outcome was exceptionally effective. The angle forced through the heavy gate did not expand further, but a hole was smashed directly through it.

Next, not to mention the goblins, even the Ogres could freely enter and exit the gate opening.

Before long, the bloodied rats sprinted out of the opening, almost getting struck by the axe-wielding Quilboar at the gate had it not been for Gaz’s token on them.

Once the rats emerged, the heavily-armed infantry with weapons galore arrived even before the Ogres could continue with their strikes.

These soldiers fearlessly charged directly at the larger and stronger Ogres and Quilboar, showing no concern.

Moreover, these heavy infantry displayed a terrifying strength, completely out of proportion to their size, each wielding huge swords or war hammers and other heavy weapons.

A soldier in red armor wielded a giant sword and with a single sweep, cut through the waist of a tall Ogre.

Such formidable soldiers would be counted individually, but these heavily-armored soldiers almost all possessed this strength.

Such a large number of soldiers, with such strength and emotionless killing, were extremely terrifying when assembled.

They were the improved war units based on the Dragon Slumber Army and the final destination for most forcibly conscripted recruits.

Those who knew about them in the Western Empire called them “War Children.”

As a substitute for the power source of the Dragon Crystal, they were blessed with the grace of the great God of War.

Simply put, they were creations of the God of War.

The God of War was attempting to regain control using another method.

Originally, the Soaring Dragon Legion had an overwhelming advantage when facing human armies.

However, now the situation on the battlefield was completely reversed.

These heavily-armored War Children were all extremely skilled and tireless.

Countless Ogres, Quilboar, and other monsters fell in front of them, like cutting wheat in layers.

In no time at all, they cleared the area around the gate of Lima Fortress like a harvester, creating a large empty space.

This situation took everyone aback, including Gaz who had been observing the frontline situation, as his jaw almost dropped in astonishment.

“Am I dreaming?”

Angelia, who stood beside Gaz, was also dumbfounded. They had fought against the Dragon Slumber Army before, but these soldiers seemed far more tenacious.

Similarly, the commander in the watchtower above Lima Fortress was also shocked by this scene.

He knew that the War Children were strong, but he had never heard of them possessing such strength!

If he had known in advance that the War Children were so powerful, he would not have holed up in Lima Fortress all this time.
