<h4>Chapter 422: Landed on the Top of the City Wall</h4>

    Boom!


    The northern wall of Moonrise City shook dramatically.


    The War Behemoth had just stuck its notorious head right into the city wall. It served as a naturaldder which sent groups of Demon Faction yers to the top of the north wall.


    Parties made up of Tier 5 Champions were the leading force that charged in first. As soon as the War Behemoth got into position, more than ten Frostramparts exploded at the same time in front of the Angel Faction yers. The enemy had justunched their fiercest offense against the Angel Faction defense.


    For the Angel Faction, most of their Tier 5 Champions were tangled up by the siege attack that had suddenly intensified from all directions. The appearance of the fifth War Behemoth had the hand of those up on the north wall tied. There was no way they could sustain rounds of powerful assault by more than ten Tier 5 Champions.


    In the midst of the sting snowstorm, a Tier 5 AoE spell first erupted within the defending crowd.


    Windstorm Annihtion!


    A tragic scene took ce on top of the northern wall following the sessful ambush by the Tier 5 Aeromancer.


    More than a hundred of white shes rose from the center of the deadly storm.


    Horrifying shrieks were heard among the crowd as tens of Angel Faction yers were lifted by the storm and tossed down the city wall.


    “F*ck!”


    “Everyone, charge!!!”


    “Bowmaster, lock on!”


    A fraction of yers on top of the wall managed to survive the Tier 5 AoE offensive. Within the storm, several yers bearing an insignia with the calligraphy “jail” printed on it shouted and returned the favor by casting AoE spell toward the enemy attempting tond on the wall top. At the same time, they also instructed others to counter-attack. The defense of the northern wall was entrusted to some of the well-known ns in the Angel Faction, prominently the ck Jail n.


    Even so, the number of Tier 5 Champions among them were still a little too few...


    Under the powerful assault of the Demon Faction yers, the counter-attack from Angel Faction was deemed insignificant and neutralized with ease.


    The defenders were especially helpless when Savior flew up to the top of the city wall from behind the War Behemoth like a fiend. pping his Demonic Wings, Savior released a Tier 5 Light-type spell—Christ’s Sword: Judgement—at thirty meters right above the Angel Faction yers. The bright light immediately blinded those unprepared yers within range.


    Silence!


    At about a hundred meters away, other Angel Faction yers watched on helplessly as the retaliation on top of the north wall was easily dealt with by Savior’s spell. Those staying at the frontlines were swiftly ughtered by enemies that had reached continuously through the back of the War Behemoth.


    Suddenly, the yers on top of the northern wall felt like they had been trapped inside an icehouse.


    ***


    Inside the city street, arge number of yers who stayed behind the formation were unable to approach the city gate. They can only line up patiently and march forward slowly to fill the space vacated by yers who had sacrificed themselves before them.


    The sudden emergence of the War Behemoth at the northern gate caused the casualties over there to increase exponentially. Those yers waiting excitedly along the street could thus stride forward at a quicker pace.


    At the top of the city wall close to the warzone, a teenage couple, like most other yers, squeezed through the crowd while looked astonishingly at the spells and magical lights exploding above them from time to time.


    “ckie, do you love me?” The girl opened herrge eyes and looked straight at the boy who protected her at the front as they were carried forward by the flow.


    The boy turned back and nodded without hesitation.


    The girl pouted and replied teasingly, “I don’t believe you.”


    The boy scratched his head.


    “I will believe you if you let me stay ahead of you.” The girl continued.


    “What? No way!” The boy was baffled and took a nce at the warzone not far in front of them. His expression changed instantly, then he turned around forcefully to hug the girl. Behind the boy’s back, a sword of holy light came out of nowhere. The sword which carried a blinding re was swung down mercilessly from the hand of the demon-like man.


    ***


    Demon Faction yers have sessfullynded on top of the city wall. Within an hour, if Angel Faction yers are unable to eliminate all Demon Faction yers from the city wall, the defense of Moonrise City would officially end in a failure. All Angel Faction yers’ Honor Point would be reset to zero. The countdown begins now.


    The warning by the system reached the ears of every single yer from the Angel Faction, including those currently not at Moonrise City.


    ***


    “What’s ck God and the others doing?” Netherw lost his cool and bellowed angrily through the temporarily set-up battle channel, “Why are the enemies allowed tond so soon? Doesn’t he know that the reinforcements from the nearest city will only reach two hourster? We at least need another three hours to organize an effective counter. Now tell me, what should we do?” As the head of Netherspirit’s w, Netherw seldom lost hisposure. But today, the urgency of the situation had obviously far exceeded his expectation. The Demon Faction apparently had a more thorough n this time around and their overwhelming advantage was giving the Angel Faction a huge pressure.


    Not only Netherw, but other League Masters also began to feel a little insecure.


    Honor Points would be reset, while ns and Leagues would automatically dissolve if they fail.


    By then, all yers and groups within the Angel Faction would be on the same starting line once again. This was a scenario none of them would like to see.


    As soon as Netherw’s grumbling came to a halt, Majestic Hero’s calm voice rang through themunication channel. “The north side is defended only by ck God and a fewrge ns. The number of Tier 5 yers there and their overall ability are also slightly weaker aspared to the other three directions. So it’s not entirely surprising that they were breached due to the fact that they are being attacked by two rival Leagues. What we should do at the moment is to remain calm and help ourrades at the north side to wipe out our enemies!”


    “He is right.” It was Scarlet Bauhinia’s voice that followed. He shared Majestic Hero’s thought. “This is not the time to single out who should be med. ck God face greater pressure than us. Netherw and Hero, how many people can be spared from your side?” The one who dared to speak at such a critical time was of course, a Tier 5 yer or someone who had the abilityparable to that of a Supreme Champion.


    “I am fending off those from ck Witch League, but ck Widow and her henchmen are not around. I think I can afford fifteen...”


    “Fifteen...” Scarlet Bauhinia murmured, then nodded. ‘This is indeed the limit Majestic Hero can offer. After all, not only do they have to contain the current battle at the city wall, but they also need some reserves to cope with unforeseen dangers. We cannot afford to lose the other walls, or else Moonrise City would fall for sure.’


    “Netherw?”


    “We are going against Death Cult, at most four!”


    Netherw’s answer displeased Scarlet Bauhinia. Thetter pointed out the obvious. “Netherw, please be considerate. This is not the time to be selfish. Two powerhouses, Death Jesus and Savior, are threatening the north side now. They also have about forty to fifty Tier 5 Champions with them. If we are unable to gather enough help, we are only sending the new men to their deaths.”


    Netherw remained silent for a few seconds. “Alright. At best, ten. That’s it. You are having an easier fight. So tell me, how many from Bauhinia are you willing to relocate?”


    “I will also pick out ten. With those from ck Jail and the remaining ns, this should be enough to bring the fight even,” Scarlet Bauhinia reply made Netherw have no room forints. Although Bauhinia was only facing the third-ranked League in the Demon Faction—Zeus Legion—this League was actually the most bnced force among the three great rival leagues as they had the most number Tier 5 Champions. Scarlet Bauhinia had already done what he could by allocating ten personnel.


    “I have a question. Who is going to take care of Savior and Death Jesus?” Majestic Hero suddenly raised the most pressing question. “Zeus, Shaka, and ck Widow are all absent. So who should go and take on the two biggest threats?”


    This question was the main headache for the three of them since the beginning of the siege.


    Demon Faction has four more experienced Champions aspared to their side. Although ck Widow was not as scary as the others, she was not to be underestimated and could not be left to a newly promoted Tier 5 Champion.


    So, in other words, neither one of the three of them could leave their battle zone. This would leave an opening to the rest of the equally dangerous enemies. However, across the entire Angel Faction, who else besides the three of them had the gut and ability to resist Savior and Death Jesus?


    They were out of ideas and were silent for half a minute...


    The situation in the north was getting more and more difficult. The number of distress calls intensified every minute. The defense line at the top of the northern wall had been pushed back by more than two hundred meters under the Demon Faction Tier 5 Champions’ assault. Arge group of elites from Demon Faction began tond onto the city wall, making the necessary preparations to conquer the city gate for one hour. The difficulty to do that would not be lesser than to conquer an entire city.


    As most Angel Faction yers waited anxiously, Bloodstained King’s voice rang in the battle channel shared by the fifteen Leagues, “Aren’t there few other candidates?”


    “Don’t you all remember? The Winter Demon Qin Ruo has also fused with Divinity. Beside him, Apocalypse and Psycho Demon did too. They were among the five who have fused with Divinity together at Casanova’s Trading Hall. If we can gather them, these few should be able to at least hold Savior and Death Jesus at bay!”


    Bloodstained King’s suggestion brought them a glimmer of hope. A few other voices were subsequently heard inside the channel.


    “I know. Apocalypse and I have messaged him personally. He is now waiting at the northern wall but does not dare to roll out alone.”


    “This is a good idea. Those who know them please notify them as soon as possible. Violet Orchid is also on the north side. With the support of a Tier 5 Priest, they should be able to defend against Savior and Death Jesus.”


    “Hey Scarlet, I believe Bauhinia is quite close to the Winter Demon, right?”


    “Rx. We have already contacted him. He ising over from the Mythical Battlefield now.” Scarlet Bauhinia answer brought hope to everyone. The most outstanding feature of Angelic Wings was that it allowed the owner to reach the destination on a direct path at top speed. There would be no danger even if one flew past millions of armies. If he could make it on time and teamed up with Apocalypse as well as Violet Orchid, the defenders at the north side could definitely force back the enemy troops.


    However, a piece of bad news was suddenly delivered to them through the channel—Death Jesus had appeared at the frontline of north gate sooner than expected.


    “Damn!”


    “Violet Orchid is right there!”
