Chapter 735: Darkness Falls (II)

Cullen stared at the crystal ball before him, where he clearly saw the battle between the fire and water elements. The inherent confrontations made the fire elemental creatures almost unwilling to listen to his commands. Cullen was no longer furious about the chaotic nature of the fire elemental creatures. Instead, he felt incredibly shocked.
The enemy is so prepared?!
Cullen was mentally prepared for the enemy to retaliate correspondingly after the Fantasy Key to the Fiery Plain was stolen. After all, it proved that the enemy knew what they were doing to activate the summoning stone to create some trouble for him before stealing the Fantasy Key. Moreover, Cullen had considered the high possibility that the enemy had stolen the Fantasy Key in order to deal with the fire elemental creatures from the Fiery Plain. But back then, he only expected the enemy to increase the number of elemental Mages to set up counteractive spells or summon fire elemental creatures in response. However, never did he expect the enemy to hold the Fantasy Key to the water plane of existence!
Come to think of it, since the enemy was aware of the elemental teleportation door, it wasn’t surprising that they also had a Fantasy Key. But how did they summon that many water elemental creatures in such a short time? Cullen knew how difficult it was to establish and expand the elemental channels. But now, judging from the water elemental creatures darting out of the surging waves shown inside the crystal ball, the enemy’s elemental channel wasn’t only stable, but also high in level. This left Cullen baffled because in the previous battle, there were neither reports of the enemy holding onto the Fantasy Key to Silver Ocean nor mentions about them summoning water elemental creatures. On the other hand, they heard that there was a fox-eared young lady who held formidable fire elemental powers, which prompted Cullen to activate the Fantasy Key that led to the Fiery Plain. If the enemy had a Fantasy Key, they should have summoned the water elemental creatures. If he knew that it was the Fantasy Key belonging to the Silver Ocean, he wouldn’t have done something so foolish!
Could it be that the enemies built the teleportation door that linked to Silver Ocean after the previous battle? Are you kidding me?! Establishing the channel required a lot of time and it had tougher requirements for high-level ones. This was why Cullen chose to use quantity to make up for quality. If it was possible, he wished to build teleportation doors of the highest level continuously and simply end the war by summoning the ultimate Flame Demon.
But the prerequisite was that the enemy must be patient enough to give him five to ten years to build them and it was obviously impossible.
“What’s going on!”
Cullen scanned the crystal ball. After a few moments, he turned to the panicky Schrodinger with a gloomy expression. Schrodinger shuddered in an ashen expression as he sensed the wrath and murderous intent exuding from Cullen’s eyes. Schrodinger was equally puzzled over this situation.
“I-I don’t know anything, Sir Cullen. I swear that the enemy didn’t summon any water elemental creatures in the previous battle. General Vidal and Commander Saiborn can testify it!”
Boom… Boom…
Boom…
That was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and resembled the footsteps of a massive creature approaching them. The soldiers gripped their bow and arrow in anticipation. The Phantom Beasts by the foot of the walls instinctively retreated and gathered while the Batfishes swayed anxiously and let out warnings that ordinary humans couldn’t hear.
——Gaaaaa!
The deep night sky was like an invisible creature with its mouth opened wide. Everyone witnessed the twisting night sky transforming into a large burning, scarlet cloud with tens of thousands of Flame Crows howling and soaring in the sky. Not only that, but the flames spreading on the ground also erupted and charged forward like a wave.
But this time, behind them were numerous shadows that were as tall as the city wall. After taking a closer look, they were creatures made of bones and clutched warhammers as they shambled forward. The flat iron plate above both sides of their shoulders, which served as platforms had expanded entirely. They were laid out with lightweight arrows and bows and groups of Ghouls and Skeletal Warriors. Even though, logically speaking, these top-heavy presence would likely lose their balance and crumble in taking one step, Rhode was aware that he couldn’t count on science in this world.
“Oh my goodness! What are those!”
Many soldiers yelled in fear and subconsciously stepped back.
At this moment, the Undead Army launched their attacks.
Scarlet flames and crystal clear ice collided again. This time, the fire elemental creatures who had gathered all their strength were matched evenly with Rhode’s water elemental creatures. At this moment, a dozen Skeletal Trolls lumbered forward and stood up straight.
Swish!
Skeleton Archers who stood above the Skeletal Trolls’ shoulders shot out arrows one after another, which struck the solid, ice city walls. But, the purpose of these arrows wasn’t to damage the city walls only. Under the bright flames, pitch-black ropes were also seen attached to them.
“Cut the ropes! Quick! Burn them off!”
The commanders ordered the soldiers to cut off the ropes immediately. But at this moment, another wave of arrows streaked across the sky and overwhelmed them. Not only that, but the dark, shriveled Ghouls had also climbed up the ropes already!
