Da da da da...
Continuous gunfire erupted, and the powerful suppressive fire kept the Goblin Archers from showing their heads.
Seizing this opportunity, the ground troops below also charged forward.
The Golden Holy Lion and Blackrock Troll had already assembled siege equipment, rushed to the base of the city wall, and began climbing up the siege ladders.
Three Adventurers transformed into Tank Zombies, roaring as they collectively charged towards the city gate.
Under Zhang Shiyu's powerful suppressive fire, the opposing defense towers failed to take effect immediately.
By the time the Goblin Officers cautiously poked their heads out, the vanguard Golden Holy Lion unit had already reached the base of the city wall.
The Blackrock Trolls set up their siege equipment and launched a fearless assault.
They climbed the scaling ladders, attempting to ascend the city wall. Their towering figures appearing at the edge of the wall startled the opposing Goblin Officers, who frantically organized a counter-attack.
They hurled falling rocks from above, trying to smash the siege equipment.
At the massive city gate.
Dozens of Golden Holy Lions jointly lifted a heavy, giant battering ram, and with a unified roar, charged towards the city gate.
Several Tank Zombies followed the giant battering ram, sprinting and charging, crashing into the city gate together.
A fierce impact.
The sturdy, giant city gate swayed violently from the collision.
Feeling the movement at the city gate, the dying Goblin General on the city wall was so anxious he wanted to jump up, issuing several consecutive orders for his Goblins to throw giant rocks and fire oil at the city gate.
Zhang Shiyu's firepower remained fierce; hundreds of firearms were unleashed, and Goblins died under her gun barrel every second.
But with the city gate in critical danger, these Goblin Archers and Mages could no longer afford to be cautious and had to risk being swept by gunfire to launch a desperate counter-attack.
Hundreds of Goblins launched ranged attacks almost simultaneously, a barrage of arrows and various magic projectiles raining down on Zhang Shiyu in the air as if they were free.
Zhang Shiyu was not so reckless as to take the hits with her bare body; she immediately summoned two shields to block the incoming attacks. These shields had small holes specifically for resting firearms.
Under the defense of the two shields, the remaining 98 firearms now fired without restraint, their firepower becoming even more intense, retaliating against the attack points and greatly increasing their kill efficiency.
This was also a war of attrition.
The enemy was expending Goblin lives, filling trenches with their lives.
Their side was expending various firearm cards and Adventurers who had transformed into shield cards; the enemy's firepower was indeed very strong, and even shields with all their attribute points invested in defense quickly began to crack under such fire.
Losses among Adventurers were also inevitable.
New shields were brought in to replace the damaged ones.
The substitute support Adventurers below also caught up and joined the aerial bombardment.
Besides Zhang Shiyu, other Adventurers also demonstrated their powerful specialized combat abilities; after reaching level 30, their skill capabilities became much stronger.
Li Ruoshu utilized Ghost Binding Nails and other skills with superb mobility to reach the top of the city wall, activating T-Virus Scarlet Queen.
Wielding dual guns, she performed the Wandering Gunner's 【Floating Shovel】 plus 【Sonic Ambush】, quickly gaining a foothold on the city wall, finding an output point, and began stacking Scarlet Queen's buffs.
Chu Yunxiao also climbed the city wall using a scaling ladder.
With the foresight ability of T-Virus Egoless Sword Heart, he also gained a firm footing. Facing countless Goblin attacks, he remained calm, using Parry for defense. 【Blade Draw】 also lived up to its reputation as the signature skill of the Sword Master class, possessing a wide range of destructive power, and several times it managed to attack assassins attempting to ambush him, turning danger into safety.
As the two of them rushed onto the city wall, the pressure on the siege forces below significantly decreased; without the interference of falling rocks, the battering ram's ramming speed also increased significantly.
Immediately after, Chen Jiu also led several Contract Adventurer onto the city wall.
Compared to Li Ruoshu and Chu Yunxiao, who were primarily solo fighters, Chen Jiu was more like a versatile player in the team, with stronger command and protective abilities.
After all, during the era ruled by Inga Ralgho, the Male Nen Master's Golden Bell Shield was known as the last dignity of players with poor manual dexterity; to team up with a Male Nen Master, one had to spend 30 million game coins.
Chen Jiu periodically used Golden Bell Shield and Nen Cannon for defense and attack. With the support and healing from Wu Yue and Shu Ai, several Contract Adventurer controlled a large section of the city wall, clearing out numerous threats.
With no more threats from the city wall, several Adventurers transformed into Tauren Behemoths from Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors and joined the charge. Although this card was only of Excellent quality, as the saying goes, 'each has his own specialty,' and the Tauren Behemoth's charging ability was indeed first-class.
At the same time, Lickers and Smokers also climbed onto the city wall, engaging in close-quarters combat with the Goblins on the wall alongside the Blackrock Trolls.
Other Contract Adventurer also successively joined the battle.
After reaching level 30, Chu Ruoxue gained 6 more summoned creatures. First were the advanced versions of the four small elemental spirits of light, dark, ice, and fire: Ice Shadow Aquilis, Flame Herick, Aurora Greylin, and Undead Merkel. Then came Black Knight Sander and Demon Flower Warsaw.
In Chu Ruoxue's hands, a dual personality meant double the fun.
Including the 6 other summoning spells learned before level 20, a total of 24 summoned creatures appeared in Chu Ruoxue's hands. Each of these summoned creatures had its own unique characteristics, such as the little fire dragon Freet, whose characteristic was being particularly lazy.
Chu Ruoxue would occasionally whip them, and while she was at it, she'd also whip her other teammates, giving them a 'whip' buff, essentially becoming the taskmaster on the battlefield.
"Get to work, my darlings."
Chu Ruoxue's lips curled slightly as she urged everyone.
However, miraculously, despite such a fierce offensive, the city gate had not yet been breached.
The defensive capability of this giant city gate was somewhat beyond their imagination.
If this continued, once the enemy's elites joined the battle, the situation would become a stalemate...
