Chapter 239: Chapter 159: Siege Battle and the Strange Winged Statue

Boom!

A deafening roar, like distant thunder, echoed far in the gigantic cavern, causing the stalactites at the top of the cavern to tremble ceaselessly.

Among it were the sounds of battle cries and screams rising and falling.

The helmeted and armored Gnolls, Kobolds, and Lizardmen stood on the city walls, their eyes bloodshot, desperately defending against the Stone Golems’ assault.

Even though their companions continuously fell beneath the giant fists of the Stone Golems, these usually cowardly creatures showed not a hint of fear, as if they had gone berserk.

Behind them floated a group of eye monsters.

They looked like enormous eyeballs, with a blood-red mouth full of sharp teeth in the center of their bodies and long tendrils growing all around the sphere, each tipped with a small eyeball emitting an eerie purple light.

Upon closer inspection, one could perceive a trace of the same eerie purple light deep within the eyes of those enslaved.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Grayish beams shot across the battlefield,

The illusions of the eye monsters had no effect on the constructs, so they could only use beams to attack the constructs.

One after another, constructs were shattered to pieces by the beams.

The slaves and constructs battling on the front lines were mere expendables for both the defenders and the attackers.

As a result, both sides spared no expense in casualties, throwing their forces into battle recklessly.

The war had entered a fever pitch as soon as it erupted.

In the distance, Sherman and Cole watched the scene, both looking solemn.

It was their first experience witnessing an underground siege.

Before the war, they thought little of it, but upon actually stepping onto the battlefield, they were profoundly shaken by the brutal scene before them.

In a war where even knights were mere cannon fodder, the power of second-level Wizard Apprentices was insignificant, and a slight mistake could lead to death.

Their earlier pride and complacency from advancing to second-level Wizard Apprentices vanished amidst the skyward cries of battle.

The knights in the squad behind them instinctively gripped their sword hilts, unable to conceal their tension.

After all, it was their first time participating in a real war.

Compared to the skirmishes they encountered in exploration before, the current war was far more intense.

However, with a touch on the Magic Pattern Armor on their chests, much of their tension dissipated.

Boom!

A sudden loud bang came from afar, accompanied by billowing smoke and dust rising to the sky.

The walls, already on the verge of collapse, finally could not withstand the onslaught of the golems and fell with a crash.

The road into Giant Eye City was now clear and unobstructed.

Seeing this, the Red Widow, as the commander, immediately ordered a full assault.

Rumble.

Led by the Advanced Stone Golems and Elite Dual-bladed Spiders, the Legendary Puppet squad charged fiercely, joining the battle with great momentum.

The knight squad was not to be outdone, and as the captain Sean’s voice rang with ’Activate the constructs,’ everyone simultaneously gripped the Magic Pattern Armor on their chests, channeling their Fighting Qi.

In the next instant, strange black patterns suddenly covered the exposed skin of everyone.

An invisible fluctuation enveloped them, as if they were clad in an unseen armor.

In an instant, the morale of the knight squad surged.

“Charge!”

Sean swung his sword forcefully forward, leading the charge on a Black Rock Leopard.

The surrounding Demon Pattern Knights shouted and followed suit.

Five hundred Demon Pattern Knights surged forward like a black torrent, sweeping unstoppably towards Giant Eye City.

Sherman and Cole exchanged a glance, also activating their Magic Pattern Armor and protective ring, casting Shield Skill on themselves. Then they charged onto the battlefield riding Black Rock Leopards.

The whirlwind blew away the dust, revealing the scene inside.

After the walls collapsed, the eye monsters retreated further back, and more slaves surged forward like a tide, trying to stop the attackers’ advance.

However, in front of the charging Demon Pattern Knights, these cannon fodder could hardly hinder their progress.

One Kobold and Lizardman after another fell beneath the Demonized Weapons.

The knight squad, like a sharp blade, tore the defenders’ formations to shreds!

Buzz!

A beam suddenly shot from afar, striking Sean, but it was blocked by the invisible force field of the Magic Pattern Armor less than a centimeter from his body.

Sean’s body swayed slightly; he turned towards the direction from which the beam came, seeing an eye monster, he snorted coldly and turned to charge in that direction.

At the same time, Sherman and Cole also found the eye monsters hidden at the rear and charged towards them.

Capture the bandit leader first.

These slaves became so fearlessly brave because they were under the control of the eye monsters. Once the eye monsters were all killed, the slaves would regain their senses and scatter naturally.

As the distance closed, both of them simultaneously raised their hands and tossed a rune gemstone.

The gemstone burst into brilliant red light mid-air, transforming into a raging wave of flames, rolling forward like a tide, plowing a wide path through the dense enemy ranks!

Sherman and Cole did not stop, quickly following the path to the eye monsters, rapidly chanting spells and launching several Magic Missiles!

Puff puff!

The Magic Missiles penetrated the eyeball bodies of the two eye monsters, killing them instantly!

The remaining eye monsters became momentarily chaotic, the tendril eyes surrounding them suddenly lit up with eerie light.

Waves of strange invisible fluctuations instantly enveloped Sherman and Cole.

However, neither of them was affected in the slightest.

Before charging, both they and all the knights in the squad had taken Clear Mind Potion, giving them high resistance to illusions and charm.

Unless the Eye Mother intervened personally, the control powers of the eye monsters had no effect on them.
