Chapter 785: second-world_chapter_785

"Let me!" The players heard a voice and saw Commander Quintus arrive. When the special elite enemy was about to stab the commander, his body split into twenty shadows. The twenty shadows struck at the dagger-wielding special elite as well as the soldier that had just come up the ladder. The soldier that had just come up was struck by several shadows. He was pushed back and fell away from the wall. The dagger-wielding special elite received the majority of Commander Quintus' shadow strikes. He suffered a large amount of damage and was forced away from the ladder. He was then surrounded by several of commander Quintus' aides. While the special elite enemy was preoccupied, Commander Quintus lifted his super long katana high. His katana burst with a dark flame. He slashed down. A streak of dark light followed his slash. His katana hit the latch that was holding the ladder and broke it. The ladder slowly detached from the wall and fell away, carrying several soldiers that were half climbing the ladder. The current Commander Quintus was also stronger than when Jack first met him. He was like Duke Alfredo and Bailey. He had received the Council of Virtus' blessing and training. He had undergone a breakthrough like Bailey. His level had not only increased to sixty-five but his grade also increased to Rare Elite. The players aided the natives and fought the dagger-wielding special elite. Being alone, the special elite was soon defeated. Commander Quintus had run to another side to help deal with the other ladders. The fight continued for a long time. The two ballistae at the front corners as well as the two catapults all concentrated their attacks on the legion that was battering the front wall. The legion was too many for the defending army to vanquish. However, the legion also did not achieve any significant progress in breaching the wall. The wall's HP and defense were too high. After half a day of fighting, the wall's HP was still above ninety percent. Even the gate's HP was only a bit below ninety percent. The ladder climbing was also not so effective. The siege ladders were reusable tools. Despite their latches being destroyed, after a short cooldown, the latches would repair themselves. The soldiers could then latch the ladders and climbed them again. Even so, most climbing soldiers failed to climb up before the latches were destroyed again. In the end, the attacking forces suffered more casualties while the defending force suffered almost none. All the while, Duchess Isabelle was keeping Arther busy in the air. Their clashes continued to create thundering sounds that kept reminding the armies below that the battle was far from over. After almost a day, a horn was heard from the main base of the sieging army. Hearing the horn, the assaulting force slowed down before starting to retreat. The defending force on the wall looked at the retreating legion while panting. Their adrenaline was still high. They watched the surrounding army on alert, believing that another attack would be coming from a different side. Arther who was in the air also stopped his offense. Duchess Isabelle didn't push on the offensive when she saw her opponent end his aggression.
