Blood Hunter was taken aback.

She turned to where the giant crossbow bolt had come from.

Within the ranks of the trolls, tarpaulin was being lifted, revealing the massive crossbows beneath.

On top of the crossbow beds, metal crossbow bolts as thick as arms were set.

The trolls slammed their hammers on the levers, bang, bang, bang! The crossbowstrings sang out and the bolts flew towards the bone dragons like cannonballs.

The bone dragons swiftly evaded, but two were still hit, the bolts shattering their bones and piercing their spines.

The heavy chains grew tighter, dragging the two bone dragons towards the ground.

No matter how they struggled, they couldn’t escape the chains, crashing to the ground.

As the bone dragons fell into the center of the troll army, they were attacked from all sides.

The bone dragons swung their claws and breathed out dragon breath, taking swathes of trolls with them, but they still couldn’t resist the onslaught.

Under the besiegement of the trolls, they eventually turned into three massive skeletons.

“Retreat.”

Seeing the trolls load the crossbows again, Blood Hunter commanded the bone dragons to fall back for now and reassess the situation.

On the fortress walls.

The last scene caused Fang Hao to abruptly stand.

The bone dragons were prized assets in Fang Hao’s domain, losing one meant having one less.

Now, two had fallen at once, it felt like his heart was bleeding.

Glancing at the distant crossbow beds, he clenched his teeth in anger.

[Dragon Locking Crossbow Bed (Rank 8 Equipment)]

Damn it!

This was indeed a weapon used for dealing with dragons, how did these bare- chested creatures come into possession of such a thing.

At the rear of the Bloodthroat Tribe.

The legion commander hurriedly headed towards the rear, approaching an exceptionally tall troll.

It was the chieftain of the Bloodthroat Tribe, Meatfist – Kaius.

“Chieftain, the bone dragons have been driven back by the crossbow beds and our troops have reached the city walls, but our casualties are also severe,” the legion commander reported cautiously.

Kaius wore a gloomy expression, the skull he was tightly holding in his hand crushed into dust out of rage.

He had initially thought the bone dragons would be their biggest obstacle but he didn’t expect the enemy’s numbers to be so high.

Although the fortress was obstructing his view.

The density of the few rounds of arrow showers was enough to cause apprehension.

“How’s Shah doing on their end? Those damned things gave us false intel, there’s no way there are only three or four hundred thousand undead.” Kaius said, grinding his teeth.

Shah told him there were only three or four hundred thousand. Divided between two fronts, it should not pose much of a threat.

The only threat was the undead’s bone dragons.

But now, the density of their arrows was far beyond just four hundred thousand.

If it weren’t for the legion already initiating an attack, he would’ve destroyed the Skullcrusher first before continuing to fight against these undead.

“There’s still no news from Skullcrusher’s side. If they stick to the agreement, they should’ve launched the attack by now,” the legion commander said.

“Hmph! Them?” Kaius sneered, “Once this isover, I’ll personally skin Shah alive.”

“Chieftain, what do we do next…?” the legion commander asked tentatively.

Kaius stood up, stretched out his bones, and ordered coldly: “Inform the Bloodthroat army, prepare to attack with me.”

“As you command, Chieftain.” The legion commander receiving the order quickly relayed the message.

The ragtag trolls, who only knew how to shout and yell, were just the ordinary tribes within the Bloodthirst Mountain Range.

They were the vanguard—the cannon fodder or pioneers.

Kaius hadn’t put much thought into the fortress ahead.

The undead’s fortress wasn’t much sturdier than the thin walls of the human clan.

However, with more than half of the vanguard dead or injured without even getting to touch the walls, Kaius was getting anxious.

Even though the trolls were savage, they were still living beings.

Failing on their very first step out of the Bloodthirst Mountain Range would greatly affect their morale.

So, he planned to lead his own legion, the true warriors of the Bloodthroat Tribe, to demolish the city walls.

Crushing the brittle skeletons beneath their feet.

Soon, the warriors of the Bloodthroat army walked up.

“Bloodthroat Army, prepare to attack with me. Destroy the undead city walls ahead.” Kaius commanded loudly.

“Yes, Chieftain.”

” Blow the war horn.”

The Legion Commander took out the tribal horn and blew it directly.

As the trolls approached the city wall, the mage corps led by Nelson began to launch their attack.

Black magic missiles were thrown into the ranks of the trolls.

The missiles exploded, causing even the most sturdy trolls to be affected by the blast. Their limbs were scattered everywhere, and the negative effects of magic quickly spread throughout the ranks.

This made the morale of the raging charging trolls drop rapidly.

By this time, the sun was directly overhead.

The battle had been going on for about five or six hours. Many trolls had already fallen, their thick, red blood accumulated on the path, forming puddles of blood.

Just then…

A resounding horn sounded in the distance.

Everyone paused.

The War Horn.

It’s been five or six hours, yet the War Horn blew again?

Around the corner of the mountain front, a well-equipped troll army was approaching in orderly fashion.

These trolls were noticeably different from the ones before.

They were fully covered in armor, and each one held a matching large machete in their hands.

In the ranks, the sight of one exceptionally robust troll caught everyone’s attention.

[Meatfist – Kaius (orange level three hero)].

As expected, the chieftain of the trolls was an orange-tier hero.

“Arrows, fire!” Black Thorn roared again.

Another hail of arrows appeared, raining down on the advancing troll army.

The rain of arrows poured into the troll army’s formation.

Even though these trolls were well-equipped, they couldn’t withstand such a dense rain of arrows. Many troll soldiers fell dead in their tracks.

The troll army kept advancing quickly.

This is when the merit of short-to-medium-range firelock soldiers revealed itself.

Under Petty’s command, they continuously targeted and killed threatening opponents.

Basically, when they aimed at a troll, tens of firelocks would fire simultaneously, instantly turning the targeted troll into a sieve.

Orcs from behind then passed forward a firelock loaded with good bullets to replace the fired ones.

As Petty located another target, all firelock soldiers fired in unison.

Ten such teams, formed of orcs as target selectors and skeleton shooters, were aimed at the rapidly approaching Bloodthroat Corps.

“Charge.” Kaius in the ranks screamed loudly.

The troll army began to charge forward rapidly, impacting directly onto the city wall, shaking the earth and mountains.

All remote troops began to attack the trolls under the city, and the magic defense tower released black lightnings.

Throwing axes, war spears, arrows, magic missiles, they danced in the sky of the mountain path.

They formed a big net, covering the entire battlefield.

“Make way.” Kaius roared.

The trolls in front made way.

Kaius arrived under the city gate, stored energy, and punched out forcefully.

Bang!!

With an explosive blast, the reinforced city gate splintered, creating a large hole.

The entire connecting wall began to shake violently.

Kaius squinted and punched out a second time after gathering strength.

Bang!

With a loud rumble, the city gate shattered.

A troll beside him rammed his body into it, knocking the entire city gate to the ground.

The trolls roared with excitement and rushed towards the city gate.

The moment all the trolls saw the endless White Bone Army behind the city gate, their cheers of joy ceased abruptly, replaced by silence and shock.

What the hell, how could there be so many undead?

Even killing all the people on this continent couldn’t muster such a large White Bone Army.

At this moment, bannermen on the city wall hoisted daggers and red banners.

“Attack!”

Roar!

Instantly, the White Bone Army sprang into action, like a rising tsunami, sweeping towards the troll army.
