Chapter 777 The Tense War
With the entrance of the Cenas adept, the situation that was starting to look good for the Crimson Clan quickly turned the other way.
Fire Throne had been slowly accumulating and gathering energy. However, it now had no choice but cast out a web of blinding red light, providing all the Crimson adepts and magical machines on the battlefield with fire protection. What immediately came after was the area-of-effect Meteor Shower that the tower had been charging up.
A large, flaming cloud mass suddenly gathered on the thirty-meter-tall ceiling of the Magma Hall. Blazing fires and lava bubbles roiled within those clouds, staining the entire space dark-red as if it was a realm of ghosts.
The adepts in the attacking party immediately used their tricks and exited the frontlines upon seeing this ill omen. Meanwhile, the four thousand soldiers and servants were abandoned on the battlefield as sacrificial pawns.
All the human warriors lifted their heads and looked at the massive boiling red clouds above them, terrified and concerned. As more fire energy surged from the tower to the clouds, they increased in size, filled with massive lava bubbles the size of watermelons.
Breathing became difficult for everyone beneath the oppression of the powerful fire elementium aura. What entered their lungs when they inhaled was no longer cool, fresh air, but surges of searing heat waves.
“Run!”
The battle inside the Magma Hall was intense and bloody.
Armies of human warriors charged onto the battlefield and fell on their way toward the enemy. Their bodies were broken and twisted, quickly gathering into little hills of corpses. Then, a new group of warriors would step over the mountain of dead bodies, raising their shields as they silently and numbly pressed forward.
There were no battlecries or courageous roaring. It was almost as if all the soldiers knew their fate beforehand and only fearfully advanced forward under the urging of the adepts and nobles.
The Archers behind the tower had been reduced from their original thirty-five to their current twenty-two machines. The Alliance had also buried five thousand men in front of the tower. It was already the sixth group of soldiers charging now!
From the start of the battle, over twelve thousand soldiers and servants had died, while a total of seventeen First Grade adepts from the various clans had fallen in battle.
Meanwhile, the Crimson Clan were entirely unharmed apart from some magical machine losses!
However, leaders on both sides knew that the losses of the Crimson Clan were no less than the Alliance.
After all, the energy of the tower was the Crimson Clan’s lifeline! Now, the power had dropped to 57%; it was a hazardous level of energy for the tower.
Should the energy reserves of the tower no longer be able to pose a threat to Third Grade adepts, it would be time for Haines and Yurga to strike. Even with the blessing and protection of the tower, the Crimson Clan would have a hard time fending off so many Alliance adepts with their current military force.
The reason the Alliance adepts had waited so patiently was for the moment the Crimson Clan reached their limits.
Once the tower gates had been broken, it would be the moment for the Alliance adepts to go all out!
That moment slowly approached as the war continued.
