Chapter 109

Upon hearing Aurora’s words, Barrett felt a chill in his heart.

Furious, he shouted, “They don’t need to sacrifice themselves! The Mystic Army is leading the siege! We’re just supporting them. Even if you’re here to help me, you could have them load stones instead of sending them to their deaths!”

Michael no longer cared about the chaos, and commanded, “Mystic Army, up the ladders! If anyone’s not part of our unit, kick them down!”

The Mystic Army, initially stunned, quickly regained their composure. They began climbing the ladders again, pulling down or kicking off anyone not wearing Mystic Army armor. People continued to fall, but they at least had a chance to survive without being speared.

Seeing the situation coming under control, Barrett shoved Aurora aside. “Go cry somewhere else!”

He rushed to the catapults, and instructed, “Keep loading the stones! Keep firing!”

Aurora stood and wiped away her tears, her expression hardening. She ordered her soldiers to fall back, waiting for the city to be breached so they could rush in.

Her troops simply must steal Carissa’s glory!

Barrett would regret this!

Unaware of the chaos by the ladders, Rafael and Carissa focused on destroying the crossbow machines. Liam had clearly prepared enough archers to replace those they killed, but at least the arrow rain was less dense.

Rafael needed to replace an opportunity to open the gate, which required more than one person to cover him. Only he and Carissa had the skill to do it alone. Violet and the others couldn’t manage it.

The gates of Simonton City were heavy and stood almost ten meters tall, reinforced with two layers of iron. Opening them was an arduous ordeal, especially when countless arrows kept raining down from all around them.

Rafael would never let Carissa take that risk. After taking down several archers and waiting for the next wave, he flew to Carissa’s side. He quickly dispatched an archer, then whispered urgently in her ear, “Cover me! I’m going down to open the gate.”

Carissa spun her Rose Spear, glancing quickly at Rafael. His face was covered in the enemy’s blood, and she figured hers was probably the same.

“Yes, sir!” she responded.

On the battlefield, lives were as cheap as grass.

Amidst the torrential rain of arrows, Rafael’s battle robes fluttered as he darted through the city like a shooting star, quickly ascending and descending to reach the city gate.

Carissa followed closely, spinning the Rose Spear in her hand to shield him.

Seeing this, Violet and the others quickly took positions on the four corners of the city walls to destroy the enemy’s archer formations.

A group of Mystic Army soldiers who had climbed onto the walls saw what was happening, and shouted, “Shield unit, to the gate!”

Many Mystic Army soldiers, armed with shields, quickly took to the stairways on either side. The spear unit followed closely behind, hiding behind the shield unit and fighting their way down the stairs. Their disciplined training paid off–their offensive and defensive formations were perfectly executed. The hardships endured during training were worthwhile, as these maneuvers had become muscle memory.

After taking down one wave, the shield unit quickly repositioned to face the next wave of attackers. They fought up close with blades, and the spear unit would advance as soon as there was a certain distance between them and the enemies.

Soon, they reached Rafael and Carissa. They formed a tight shield formation around the two, like an

iron fortress.

Barrett ordered the soldiers manning the catapults to continue launching stones, keeping the enemy at bay. Even he was surprised at how well he and Carissa coordinated. Then, he ordered to cease the battering ram, pulling everyone back to prepare for the breakthrough.

By now, Aurora had composed herself. She gripped her sword, ready to charge in once the gate was breached.

The heavy city gate groaned loudly.

Standing at the highest point and commanding the troops, Liam didn’t order his men to continue holding their positions. He focused intently on one spot, but with so many people on the battlefield, he couldn’t discern which one was Aurora.

However, he wasn’t worried. He knew he wasn’t the only one watching for Aurora. All the Westhaven soldiers were looking for her, as capturing her was their primary goal. They had spent significant resources and manpower for this very purpose. 1

As the gates opened wide, the Hell Monarch Army and reinforcements surged in like a tidal wave.
