The rookie’s eyes were filled with fear.

The news of Wuyan City’s fall had spread throughout the entire Eastern Province.

It was said that the sturdy city completely collapsed in less than half a day under the bombardment of the dragon’s breath.

"It’s fine; those dragons might not come here."

The veteran soldier smiled, twisted open the water bottle at his waist, and poured two big gulps into his mouth.

The faint scent of alcohol immediately wafted into the young recruit’s nostrils.

The young recruit couldn’t help but frown.

Drinking on duty was forbidden; it was a strict military rule.

But the young recruit didn’t dare to say anything.

The veteran’s experience in the army was far deeper than his, and he had more friends.

Offending the veteran would make the days ahead very difficult.

"Even if those two beasts really come, we still have these things."

The veteran didn’t notice the change in the young recruit’s expression, pointing towards the massive crossbow not far away.

The sturdy bow arms and sharp arrowheads gleamed with a metallic luster in the firelight.

It looked like it had astonishing power.

"Lord Earl said that these giant crossbows are enough to pierce dragon scales."

The veteran gestured and boldly said, "As long as we’re on target, those beasts will bleed and die too."

The recruit nodded, but his brows remained furrowed.

The night grew deeper.

The soldiers on the wall kept a vigilant eye on the darkness, not daring to slack off.

Even the veteran, who had been drinking, kept his eyes wide open, not daring to be lazy.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, an urgent whistling sound came from the sky.

Everyone looked up into the sky.

But nothing could be seen in the darkness.

"Is it getting windy?"

The young recruit asked the veteran next to him.

The veteran didn’t answer.

"Uncle Buren?"

The young recruit turned his head in confusion to look at the veteran.

He saw the veteran staring at the sky ahead, frowning deeply.

The young recruit followed the veteran’s gaze upwards, vaguely seeing a shadow rapidly descending from the sky.

A blazing light ignited in the darkness, growing larger and larger.

Then the young recruit felt an overwhelming heat sweep past his head, precisely striking the giant crossbow!

"Boom!"

The giant crossbow instantly smashed into pieces, scattering flames all around!

The flames didn’t stop, transforming into a torrent pouring down, sweeping over the wall like heavenly fire!

The wall was consumed by the flames, the giant crossbows destroyed, and the soldiers fled in panic!

Some unfortunate ones caught fire, rolling desperately on the wall trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies!

But the dragon’s breath couldn’t be extinguished; it clung to the skin like a living thing!

In an instant, the crackling of burning wood, the breaking of metal, and the soldiers’ wails mixed together, like the symphony of Hell!

But on the other side of the wall, the scene was completely different!

Endless frost descended from the sky like a sudden blizzard, freezing the entire section of the wall in an instant!

The giant crossbows and the soldiers operating them turned into ice sculptures, shattering into pieces one after another!

"East! East side!"

An officer shouted hysterically,

"Adjust the direction! Quickly!"

"Fire! Quickly fire!"

The officer waved his longsword, directing the soldiers to fight back!

The surviving soldiers frantically turned the capstan, rapidly adjusting the angle of the crossbows!

Everyone’s attention was focused on the giant dragons circling in the sky, desperately trying to aim at those enormous figures.

But at that moment, no one noticed that in the dark corner destroyed by the dragons, a dozen agile shadows climbed over the wall using ropes and slipped into the city.

And when the soldiers had adjusted the crossbows in the right direction, the giant dragons in the sky had already disappeared.

The sky was left with endless darkness, while the wall was filled with the remnants of the flames’ heat and the chill of the frost.
