Chapter 105: People Of Great Qin Are Our Slaves.

Outside the city, there was a rain of arrows coming from the sky.

All of the soldiers on the city wall raised their shields to resist the attack. At the same time, some organized soldiers began their own counterattack.

Those with sharp eyes could see countless green eyes hidden behind the rain of arrows, that were as dense as the sea of stars.

Soon, those oily green eyes came out of the darkness and showed their owners.

Tigers and leopards walked out, each having a person riding on their backs.

Those people were all wearing armor made out of animal skin, holding bows and arrows in their hands, confronting the defenders.

Immediately after, two feet tall giant apes came out of the crowd, rushing towards the city wall.

The apes were covered with black hair, rough skin and thick flesh. Even the arrows aimed at their faces, could not break through their defense.

"That's a Mighty Ape. Hurry up, get the ballista!"

When the commanders saw the Mighty Apes, their expressions suddenly changed.

Mighty Ape!

The barbarians' weapon for sieging cities.

Not only were their skins rough, they were almost invulnerable to swords and spears. At the same time, they contained amazing strength. If they were left alone, although the city wall would not have any major problems, the city gate would definitely be broken down.

It was obvious that the barbarians were well prepared for a sneak attack.

If the city gate was not broken down, then the defenders could continue to have the geographical advantage and resist the offensive attack of the barbarians.

However, if it was broken down, there would be an endless amount of trouble.

Soon, a few people pushed a huge ballista to the top of the city wall.

Immediately after, another group brought a huge arrow that was as thick as two people embracing, which was then placed on the ballista.

"Let me!" 

The commander came to the ballista and operated it with his True Qi. After adjusting the angle of the ballista, he aimed at a Mighty Ape, and forcibly pulled back the arm-thick bowstring.

Then Bang~

The bowstring forcefully recoiled, as the arrow was released and burst through the air, hitting a Mighty Ape in an instant.

The arrow almost weighed a thousand catties. Coupled with the powerful momentum, even the Mighty Ape's thick defenses would crumble. 

As the arrow pierced into its flesh, a blood flower bloomed. It then penetrated the body, and was nailed to the ground.

"The commander is mighty!"

"Nice shot!"

The soldiers on the city wall burst into cheers.

Shooting a Mighty Ape to death with only one arrow, was undoubtedly a very exciting thing.

The commander wiped the sweat from his forehead. However, instead of doing it again, he let others come.

"Shoot the Mighty Apes with all your strength. Don't let them get close to the city wall. Prepare kerosene and don't just randomly shoot arrows. Do not waste it!"

He ordered.

The commander was only a Qi Circulation Realm Cultivator, while the ballista bowstring required five or six strong men to pull it.

He forcibly pulled it alone, which consumed a lot of his Qi.

But now that the morale was boosted and all of the desired effects had been achieved, he could leave the rest to the others.

With the ballista, some Mighty Apes were directly nailed to the ground, while others were severely injured.

The more powerful Mighty Ape picked up the arrow and waved it vigorously to the oncoming arrows.

In the end, both were destroyed.

The terrifying force split the palm of the Mighty Ape, but it was not severely injured.

At this time, a Mighty Ape rushed to the city wall. It pounded its huge fist against the city gate, making it creak. 

Immediately after, a large number of barbarian soldiers, under the cover of Mighty Ape, attacked the city wall.

Some set up ladders and climbed up towards the top of the city wall.

When the ladders were built, the soldiers on the city wall poured kerosene and completely ignited the ladder.

As fire started, many of the barbarian soldiers were swallowed by the fire.

Though, the barbarian soldiers were not afraid of death. They simply continued to slaughter their way towards the city wall.

Meanwhile, in the barbarians' rear.

Several giant beasts were carrying several people.

One person had a hunched back, who was holding a human bone scepter, with strange patterns and colors on his face.

One person was wearing armor made from animal skin, and his body was much taller than the average barbarian. Despite simply sitting there, he exuded a powerful aura.

As for the other two.

They were also wearing armor made from animal skin, but compared to the former, their figures were relatively thin. 

"Shaman, do you think we could completely conquer Ningshan City tonight?"

Hearing this, the shaman lowered his head slightly and replied in a calm voice: "Ningshan City has always been the border city of the Great Wilderness Province, and it is heavily guarded by troops. It is reported that there are 100,000 troops stationed in the city; of which 50,000 are from the Black Tiger Army."

"Although our offense is strong, it is not an easy task to conquer Ningshan City in one night."

After the shaman finished speaking, the man's face seemed gloomy.

Seeing this, the shaman smiled slightly, and continued: "But with the leadership of Lord Kurzan, our clan conquering Ningshan City is just around the corner."

"I'm afraid that if we delay too long, the Great Qin will react. By that time, the Demon Suppression Division would make a move and our offense would be blocked."

Kurzan shook his head and said.

Hearing this, the shaman said with a smile: "Lord Kurzan can rest assured that the Great Qin is now in a state of turmoil, and the Demon Suppression Division can't take action. Even if we waited a few days longer to attack Ningshan City, there may not be reinforcements coming."

"The Great Qin's Emperor is old, and can no longer suppress us. Our clan will replace him instead!"

"Yes, our clan will definitely become the master of this land!"

Kurzan nodded in agreement, as his eyes stared ahead. His gaze seemed to pass through Ningshan City and saw the beauty' of the Great Qin.

It was a fertile land that the barbarians had never owned. For hundreds of years, the barbarians wanted to be its master!

The Great Qin had occupied the land for more than 300 years, enjoying all of its benefits. Meanwhile, they couldn't have the same treatment.'

Every year, tens of thousands of their people die from starvation.'

In the end, this was all because of God's injustice.'

However, since God was unfair, then we shall go against the Heavens. Today, we conquer Ningshan City, and the next day, we will fight our way into the Central Plains. The people of the Great Qin shall be our slaves, and we are the Kings that will rule this land!'

Kurzan looked excited.

He seemed to foresee the day when the barbarians ruled the Central Plains and became its king.

By that time, the barbarians no longer had to endure hunger and the cold. They could enjoy themselves.

When the rest of the people heard his words, smiles appeared on their faces.

What Kurzan said, was what they had thought. 

Entering the Central Plains and driving out the Great Qin's people was the lifelong goal of all barbarians.

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Kurzan turned to the priest: "It seems a little troublesome to attack the city. In order to prevent my clan from losing too many people, I ask the shaman to help us."

"No problem."

The shaman smiled and immediately waved his human bone scepter. He closed his eyes and muttered something.

A black force then started to linger on the human bone scepter.

An ominous aura was slowly permeating the air.

About a quarter of an hour later, the shaman suddenly opened his eyes and waved his human bone scepter forward.

"Go and kill!"

"Drain the blood of the Great Qin's people and open up territory for our clan!" 

The black force then swept away like a gust of wind, and instantly bombarded the city wall.

At that moment, the defenders, who were affected by the black force, all screamed. Their blood essence was drained, and they fell to the ground as mummified corpses. 

All of their blood was drained from their bodies.

Under the horrified gazes of the rest of the defenders, the blood essences seemed to have turned into a bloody spring that rushed towards the other defenders.

"Go back, that's barbarian sorcery!"

The commander shouted loudly when he saw this scene.

Sorcery!

That was a powerful skill of the barbarians, and it was simply not something that ordinary people could resist.

As the commander warned, he held his long sword and his True Qi exploded, as he swung towards the bloody spring.

However, the long sword only sank into the bloody spring without causing any sort of fluctuation.

Not only that, two big hands made of fresh blood emerged from the bloody spring, and stretched out, grabbing the commander.

"Not good!" 

The commander's expression changed. When he was about to retract his sword and retreat, the bloody hands forcibly pulled him into the bloody spring.

After two breaths, a mummified corpse fell to the ground, and the bloody spring became stronger.

The city wall was filled with chaos. Many barbarians took this opportunity to board the city wall and fight with the defenders on the city wall.  

At this time, a long spear suddenly blasted through the air, forcing the bloody spring to disperse.

Immediately after, a middle-aged man appeared, holding a long spear in one hand. As he stood on the top of the city wall, his majestic presence made the defenders regain their confidence.  

"The General is here!"     

"With the General here, the barbarians are dead!"

The morale of the defenders was lifted.

The middle-aged man instantly used his spear to stab several barbarians, who had boarded the city wall. With a flick of the spear, the corpses of the barbarians exploded and were thrown off the city wall.

"As long as I am here, Ningshan City will not be destroyed. All of the barbarians who set foot on the city wall, will be killed!" 

His majestic voice sounded throughout the city wall.

The defenders then began to clear the barbarians from the walls.

"Guardian of Ningshan City, Cui Yue!"

When the middle-aged man appeared, Kurzan's expression turned cold.

The barbarians had attacked Ningshan City quite a few times, and he was very familiar with Cui Yue.

"Since Cui Yue appeared in the East of the city, inform the other clansmen to launch an attack from the other sides of the city."

The attack here was just a test. Its purpose was to attract the strength of the defenders in the city.

As for other parts of the city, those were where the real main force of the barbarians were stationed.

With one command, the barbarians, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately launched an offensive attack from all directions.

In an instant.

Ningshan City was completely surrounded, showing a state of isolation and helplessness.

"Very good, it seems that the barbarians really want to destroy Ningshan City!"

Cui Yue felt the movement in the other directions, and couldn't help, but feel his heart go cold.

But he wasn't afraid.

He was the defender of Ningshan City. It was his duty to protect it and its people till his last breath.

"Kill!"
