Chapter 348 - 268: Crisis and Reinforcements

"Support! I need firepower support here!"

The defense towers in the city started to unleash a frenzy of firepower.

Rumble!

The area in front of the Witch Race soldiers was instantly cleared.

Before the shadow monsters could surge forward, a squad of Witch Race soldiers struggled to rush through.

However, they were pushed back in less than ten seconds.

In the original place, many Witch Race corpses were left behind.

At this moment, the group of Witch Race soldiers said angrily.

"Damn! How come there are so many elites and leaders hidden in there?"

"Our special task force isn’t strong enough to break through at all?"

"How are the brothers up there doing, is there any chance with the Demon Elephant War Chariots?"

Everyone listened and simultaneously looked into the sky.

Several Witch Race warriors were operating four menacing-looking Demon Elephant War Chariots, charging back and forth among the Shadow Legion!

However, despite the formidable power of these Demon Elephant War Chariots, causing extremely serious damage to the Shadow Legion with every attack,

the number of monsters was too many, too dense.

The Demon Elephant War Chariots launched a ’Flaming Strike’, just cleared an empty zone.

Before charging further, four Lord-level creatures rushed towards them.

Rumble!

These Lord creatures were unimaginably large, their advance caused an earth-shattering momentum!

Although the destructive power and defense of the Demon Elephant War Chariots could rival a Four-star Lord,

in a real fight, they definitely could not compare to a genuine Lord.

At least two Demon Elephant War Chariots were needed to match one Lord evenly.

Facing the raid of the Lord-level monsters, these Demon Elephant War Chariots felt the pressure surge rapidly.

At this time, inside one of the chariots, a rough-looking Witch Race warrior gritted his teeth.

"Get me a few more Demon Elephant War Chariots, I’ll lead my men to break out!"

"If we don’t break the deadlock now, we’ll have even less chance next time!"

Beside him, an operator inside another Demon Elephant War Chariot quickly said:

"No way, there are only ten Demon Elephant War Chariots in all of Warhawk City right now."

"The other Demon Elephant War Chariots are in the air, intercepting the shadow monsters trying to land here, they can’t support you!"

The warrior, upon hearing this, was instantly infuriated, "Then what about the Witch Pattern Battleships? Give me three! I’ll risk my life to tear a gap in the Shadow Legion’s formation!"

However, that person still denied: "It’s impossible, all the Witch Pattern Battleships are heading towards the west gate battlefield for support."

"There’s just too many monsters, they’ve completely surrounded Warhawk City, even in the air their figures are invading."

The Witch Race warrior felt even more frustrated.

"Damn! What’s going on now? No reinforcements, no backup plan!"

"At this rate, Warhawk City will be overrun sooner or later!"

"I’d rather perish alongside these Lords now!"

The warrior again advised: "Gould! Don’t act impulsively!"

"Even if you charge out now, there are so many Lords outside!"

"Our current task is to desperately maintain the eastern gate battlefield, absolutely not letting the shadow monsters through!"

At this moment, above Warhawk City.

A massive Witch Pattern Battleship, protected by the defense shield, was pouring firepower onto the airborne monsters.

One by one, the shadow monsters were blasted into fragments, black crystals falling on the defense shield like black raindrops.

At this moment, a powerful Witch Race figure clad in Golden Battle Armor, with two Double-Bladed Axes on his back, was solemnly watching below.

From this position, he could survey the battlefield areas of Warhawk City’s four gates.

He could see that the current situation on the battlefield was very grim.

Beside him, a petite Witch Race female assassin, with a serious expression, holding two black daggers, asked.

"Commander Gus, has the main city replied to you?"

"We are within the Saintess’s jurisdiction, can she send forces to support us now?"

The powerful figure named Commander Gus shook his head, "No."

"This Shadow Legion invasion is far larger than before."

"Nearly seventy percent of the Witch Race Sky Islands are shrouded in the war fog of the Shadow Legion."

"Those Witch Race main cities are even their key areas of focus, the situation with the Saintess might be even more dangerous than ours."

"When I just sent a distress message to the Saintess, she hasn’t replied until now..."

Saying this, Gus stopped speaking.

However, upon hearing this, the female assassin’s heart skipped a beat.

As a subordinate legion of the Saintess, they all knew that given the Saintess’s personality, she wouldn’t ignore a subordinate’s distress message.

So now, it only meant one thing.

The Saintess might have encountered unimaginable peril.

Combined with her strength, it might have even erupted into a Legendary Battle!

At this moment, within the ship’s cabin, other Witch Race soldiers who heard the two talking suddenly had drastic changes in their expressions.

Gus sighed and said: "This time, the Shadow Legion is ferociously aiming to take over our Witch Race territory in one fell swoop."

"Now, we can only do our utmost to protect ourselves."

"We only need to endure the most dangerous early stages, waiting until soldiers from other cities finish their battles to reinforce Warhawk City."

However, everyone also knew that these were just words of comfort from Gus.

Even Warhawk City, with the strongest firepower and most powerful fighters, was on the brink, let alone other cities.

In this short half hour, Gus received thousands of distress messages.

All sent from other cities.

So, don’t even think about relying on them for rescue, it’s good enough if they aren’t taken down by the Shadow Legion.

And just then, Gus suddenly received a message.

Originally thinking it’s just another distress message from a main city, Gus wasn’t even planning to check it.

However, as the highest authority on this Sky Island and commander of the Seventh Legion,

Gus still had basic occupational discipline.

He casually picked up the Communication Jade, with a solemn expression, scanning the information on it.

Then, suddenly, a burst of radiant brilliance exploded on Gus’s stern face!

His body even started to tremble uncontrollably.

Beside him, the petite Witch Race female assassin asked, "Commander Gus, what happened?"

Gus’s eyes widened, glancing at the female assassin.

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Upon hearing this, the female assassin’s body suddenly stiffened!

At this moment, she also understood why Gus was so excited.

At this critical moment, the news of reinforcements, regardless of their strength.

Was tantamount to administering a dose of strong encouragement to the desperate soldiers.

Gus also wanted to inform the other Witch Race warriors of this news as soon as possible.

So, he directly activated the citywide broadcast.

Above Warhawk City, Gus’s voice resonated.

"All Witch Race warriors, I have received good news."

"Warriors from other cities have already dealt with the Shadow Legion, a large force is now en route to Warhawk City!"

Upon hearing this, the Witch Race soldiers’ shock surpassed even Gus’s.

But, they’re not fools either.

They knew the current situation was still very grim.

"Reinforcements, where do they come from at this moment?"

Also aware of the soldiers’ questions, Gus explained: "It’s from Anmo City, they’ve concluded their battle."

"Commander Ausbu is leading the army to support Warhawk City, everyone must hold on!"

"We are not fighting alone! As long as we persevere, we can surely defeat these Dark Shadow minions."

"For the Witch God, for the Lord Saint Master!"

Hearing Gus’s resolute words, they knew this news was likely true!

The eyes of the Witch Race soldiers, once filled with despair, once again burst with dazzling light!

However, Witch Race leaders familiar with Anmo City questioned in confusion.

"Is it really Ausbu? I remember, wasn’t his strength not that remarkable?"

"Yes, Anmo City’s defenses are indeed weaker compared to other populous cities, lacking even a single ancient weapon."

"Only Ausbu himself is quite powerful, with Four-star Lord Level strength."

"It’s surprising that he’s been able to end the fight early over there, exceeding my expectations."
