Orida Fortress
When a Level-14 meteorite appeared in the sky, Kanorse's face instantly turned ashen .
"General, we couldn't stop him!" The strategy a.n.a.lyst's face was white as a sheet of paper .
If the Light Canopy were still there, they could easily block a Level-14 spell . But now, the canopy was damaged and couldn't be used within a short period . If this spell fell upon them, it would be a feat if one-tenth of the Warriors in the fortress could survive .
That one-tenth would be horribly injured too . How could that number of soldiers with a damaged fortress fend off an army of 200,000?
The Doomsday Meteor was about to land . There was no time to consider or hesitate . Kanorse grabbed his Lion's Fury and rushed out of the command tower .
"General?!" his subordinate yelled .
"From now on, you're the general!" Kanorse yelled back . He trained his eyes on the Doomsday Meteor while rus.h.i.+ng towards it . He would stop it, even if it meant paying with his life!
. . .
The Beastman Army on the other side of the fortress
Avatar, the Glorious Warlord and Beastman king, saw Kanorse at once . He looked up at the Doomsday Meteor, hesitated for half a second, and then rushed towards Kanorse .
"Lowly sneak attackers, if I survive, I'm gonna rip you apart!" The Beastman king never spoke with sophisticated vocabulary, but he knew that if the meteorite landed, his Warriors would all die .
These Warriors were the insurance for his race's survival . If they all died, the fate of Beastmen would become miserable . Avatar couldn't let that happen .
On the fortress wall, Jacker, clad in Legendary armor, was also watching the meteorite . From his spot, he could clearly feel that it would fall on the wall—right where he was standing .
If he didn't dodge, he would be the first to be killed . He also saw Kanorse and Avatar . He knew what they were thinking because he had the same thoughts .
"Retreat, everyone retreat! Find somewhere to hide!" Jacker radiated with golden Sunlight Power . He tossed his sword away and grasped his heavy s.h.i.+eld with both hands .
At the last moment, he saw a young man looking at him from the near distance . He knew this guy . He was Th.o.r.eau, a prodigal Warrior . Only 19 years old, he was already at Level-9 and had unlimited potential .
"Live and tell the lord that I died without regret!" Jacker yelled .
Th.o.r.eau nodded forcefully, tears rolling down his face .
During this time, the Orida Fortress' Mage Tower had reactivated the s.h.i.+eld that covered the entire fortress . But it was only at Level-10 . It couldn't stop this Doomsday Meteor at all .
Magicians, archers, and all types of heavy artillery kept attacking the meteor, trying to make it ignite beforehand, but it was all useless .
The structure of the Doomsday Meteor was ten times more stable than the usual Level-14 spell . There was also a special s.h.i.+eld around it that was probably around Level-12 . This s.h.i.+eld blocked all disturbances .
More accurately, this was a Level-14 spell with a Level-12 s.h.i.+eld! Someone had worked hard on this Doomsday Meteor to turn the Orida Fortress into a zone of death!
Just now, Kanorse and Avatar reached Jacker . The three didn't talk . They understood each other with a glance .
The three Legendary Warriors looked up and activated their power . Kanorse turned into a flash of silver light, Jacker was gold, and Avatar was b.l.o.o.d.y red . Their battle auras melded together into a dark red glow of more than 15 feet wide .
At that time, the Doomsday Meteor was around 600 feet from the fortress . For Legendary Warriors, this was enough for them to attack!
The Warriors in the fortress heard a piercing yet m.u.f.fled thud . The dark red glow lifted from the wall and shot towards the blue-white Doomsday Meteor like a rocket .
An instant later, they collided . There was a blinding flash in the sky . Everyone inside and outside the fortress shut their eyes reflexively, not daring to look .
Under the blinding light, the temperature rose 30 degrees . The North was originally freezing, but it became stifling now . All the snow melted .
Boom . There was a m.u.f.fled explosion that spread in all directions like thunder . Then, there was another m.u.f.fled boom . This came from the fortress wall . Something still crashed into it .
Smoke rose up, covering the sky .
When the dust subsided, everyone saw the wall clearly . The st.u.r.dy wall now had a huge hole 30 feet deep and 90 feet wide .
There were three burnt bodies in the hole . Judging from their figures and armor, one could vaguely distinguish them . General Kanorse's body wasn't even complete anymore . He was clearly dead . Beastman Avatar and Sunlight Army commander Jacker's bodies were still whole, but they were not moving . No one knew if they were alive .
There were also thousands of bodies around the hole . They were the Warriors who hadn't retreated in time . But these losses were nothing compared to what would have happened if the meteor had smashed down directly .
When this happened, Princess Annie was in a hidden corner of the fortress . She had entered the Legendary level now . When she saw Kanorse's corpse, she covered her mouth, trying not to cry .
The general and war G.o.d of the Norton Kingdom, the man who always smiled gently at her, was gone .
She saw Warriors rush to the hole and take the three bodies . She heard some yell happily that someone was still alive, but she also heard sobbing . General Kanorse was still dead .
. . .
Outside the Orida Fortress
Dark Magician Eugene was ecstatic!
The human army lost three Legendary Warriors at once . Her threat was gone instantly; she could unleash her power now . The Orida Fortress also lost their general and had such a big hole in the wall . If they still couldn't win, the Army of Destruction could change their name to the Army of Failures .
She stood up and ordered, "All fronts charge and attack with full force! I'll clear the path!"
With that, she transformed into a puff of black smoke and rushed into the sky . Aiming at the hole in the wall, she cast a Level-10 Dissociation Ray .
Boom! The crack widened . After the loose rocks slid down, the bottom of the hole was less than 150 feet from the ground .
"It's so st.u.r.dy . So unfortunate!" Eugene couldn't help but praise it . "Since it's so st.u.r.dy, I won't look for trouble . "
If it was a regular wall, her spell could have destroyed the entire thing . Though she was a Level-14 Magician, she'd only upgraded recently and hadn't learned Level-14 spells yet . She could use Level-13 spells though . Without the threat of Legendary Warriors, one Level-13 spell could kill more than half of the Warriors .
Eugene moved her wand to cast a Level-13 spell .
"Your Highness, wait," Molina said .
"What?" Eugene turned .
"There are more than 40,000 Beastmen inside the fortress . They're all powerful Warriors . We are in a good state and it's a pity to kill them all . What if we persuade them to join us?" Molina asked .
Eugene considered this and nodded, smiling . "Good idea, but we still need to give them a taste . I'll take care to kill those humans but not Beastmen, hehe . "
In that case, Molina wouldn't object .
Eugene focused on casting the spell . However, she'd underestimated the army's power and the dangers of the battlefield . There were countless eyes and elites on the battlefield . They wouldn't let her cast spells safely .
Just then, around 500 streaks of fire shot out from the Orida Fortress . Crossbow archers and magic fire gun shooters seemed to have planned to shoot together . They had the same target—Eugene, casting a spell in the air, and the range of 60 feet around her .
Eugene was in the middle of spell-casting when the attacks rained down . The weakest spell was Level-8, and there were around 500 of them . She was instantly drenched in cold sweat .
This was an all-encompa.s.sing attack . She had nowhere to hide, and regular s.h.i.+elds couldn't stop them at all . Eugene didn't even have time to cast a powerful s.h.i.+eld .
Oh no, I was too c.o.c.ky! My stupid habit! Eugene wanted to slap herself . But she was a top fighter of Firuman for centuries and still had life-saving tricks .
She immediately stopped casting spells . At the same time, a rune flashed in her hand like lightning . Activating, it buzzed, and Eugene disappeared in the white light . She re-appeared hundreds of feet away .
She wasn't a spatial Magician and couldn't do transmissions well . Teleporting hundreds of feet was already her limit .
But then something happened!
Before she could even steady herself after appearing, she saw a shadow charge towards her at an incredible speed . The shadow was already 15 feet away from her .
A thought flashed into her mind . Oh no, an a.s.sa.s.sin!
It was none other than Princess Annie!
She'd turned her sadness and fury at Kanorse's death into power . Ignoring her own life, she snuck into the Army of Destruction's camp to a.s.sa.s.sinate their general . This was her responsibility as a Legendary a.s.sa.s.sin and the only way to save the Orida Fortress .
Kanorse, I hope you will protect me from heaven . Annie was nine feet away from Eugene .
