64: Chapter 64 Berserk Charge? I Fire a Single Bombardment

Although he said that, Xu Qin did not let his guard down in the slightest.

He tapped open the command panel of the Floating City and raised the altitude from the ground to thirty meters.

The maximum range of the catapults was about 120 meters; with the Floating City hovering 200 meters away at an altitude of 30 meters, they couldn't hit it no matter how they fired.

The prerequisite for an S-rank evaluation was that the overall battle damage of one's own side must be below 5%.

"Since you dare to bare your fangs, then I'll take out your catapults first."

Xu Qin directly opened the artillery interface and began to control the cannons.

Eight Soul Energy cannon turrets turned simultaneously, their muzzles aimed at the four catapults on the raised platform behind the territory.

"Fire."

Boom, boom, boom, boom...!

Eight ghostly blue beams descended from the sky.

The first four shots hit the catapult positions with precision.

The massive wooden frames exploded into splinters, and two catapults were destroyed on the spot.

The latter four shots slammed into the wooden fence, shattering the entire section from the middle and sending wooden stakes flying everywhere.

Watching the defensive fortifications he had worked so hard to build get partially destroyed by a single volley, the veins on Brennan's forehead bulged high.

"Fire back! Fire back! Aim at the sky!"

The remaining two catapults frantically adjusted their elevation angles and fired toward the direction of the Floating City.

Thud! Thud!

Two massive stones flew up, tracing a parabola in the air.

The first stone grazed past two meters beneath the Floating City and fell into the distant sandy ground.

The second one was interesting; the stone actually flew over the top of the Floating City.

Xu Qin looked at the stone that had flown past and raised his eyebrows.

Not bad at all.

He immediately launched the second round of artillery fire.

Boom, boom, boom!

With that, the catapults were completely destroyed.

Brennan stared at the city in the sky in despair, his expression complex.

Then, he heard a roar.

He saw the two Undead Army units outside the territory begin to move.

...

Inside the Floating City, Xu Qin issued his third command.

"Advance the entire army. Once within range, the Ranged Troops will fire one volley first."

On the left flank, the three thousand plus undead led by Tian Ming took their first step.

The Skeleton Elf Archer and Undead Dwarf Musketeer units were pushed to the front line, with the dense Erosion Beast legion behind them.

On the right flank, Man Niu led the elite undead Rift Guard and the Erosion Beast army forward.

Jackal Hunter's Sand Jackals roamed the perimeter, waiting for an opportunity.

Both armies tightened the encirclement simultaneously.

The Soul Energy cannon turrets on the Floating City did not stop.

Xu Qin stared at the cooldown timer of the cannon turrets, firing one shot every three seconds.

The eight cannons fired in rotation, with almost no interruption.

Ghostly blue beams slammed into the territory one after another.

Sections of the fence exploded one by one.

Arrow towers were sheared in half.

The sandbags and stone walls piled up beside the trenches were blown apart.

Some Orcs were caught in the blast; although not killed, their HP was reduced by more than half, and they crawled out of the dirt covered in soot.

Watching the defensive fortifications he had risked his life to build being blown into ruins one by one from the sky, Brennan was trembling.

He looked at the two heroes beside him and the Orc soldiers behind him with dull gazes.

On the command panel, the morale of the entire army dropped from "Normal" to "Low," and most had already "Broken."

Before the melee even started, the morale had already collapsed just from being bombarded.

Brennan took a deep breath and roared: "Entire army, Berserk!"

He picked up the battle axe beside him, blade forward, and took a step forward.

"I will let those skeletons know that Orcs never surrender, we fight to the death!"

The two heroes beat their chests simultaneously and howled at the sky.

Awoo! Awoo!

Two overlapping howls swept across the entire territory.

All the living Orcs' eyes turned scarlet in an instant.

Bones grew, and muscles expanded.

Their already burly bodies forcibly grew a size larger.

The data on the panel began to jump; Attack Power soared by 50%, Movement Speed skyrocketed, but Defense... dropped directly to zero.

More than three hundred berserk Orcs, stepping on the rubble of their own trenches, roared as they charged toward the Undead Army.

Brennan charged at the very front.

Xu Qin watched this scene from the Floating City and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Hmm, enough grit, good!"

He immediately issued an order via the command panel: "Chuan Yun." "Volley."

On the outer left flank of the territory, Chuan Yun drew his Soul Energy longbow.

[Precision Volley!]

As the command was issued, over a thousand Skeleton Elf Archers nocked arrows and drew their strings simultaneously.

Hum!

A rain of arrows rose into the sky.

A dark, oppressive mass of Soul Energy arrows poured down.

At the same time, over eight hundred Undead Dwarf Musketeers raised their Bone Soul muskets.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...

The sound of gunfire merged into one.

Soul Energy projectiles chased after the arrow rain and slammed in.

The berserk Orcs had zero Defense.

Arrows and projectiles hitting them was no different from target practice.

More than three hundred Orcs, already reduced to low HP by the shelling, fell in droves after the first volley.

Their HP bars hit bottom and they fell directly to the ground, not even having time to let out a scream.

But the remaining ones didn't stop.

The red-eyed Orcs stepped over the corpses of their companions and continued to Charge forward.

They had lost their sanity, with only the thought of tearing everything apart left in their minds.

Xu Qin coldly watched these approaching red dots.

"Man Niu." "Press the attack."

The moment Man Niu on the right flank received the order, it had already taken strides and stomped on the ground.

Boom! [War Stomp]!

The dozen or so Orcs charging at the front were flipped over by the shockwave and landed stunned.

Behind Man Niu, two hundred elite undead Rift Guards pounced out simultaneously.

These dark purple behemoths, over two meters tall, had an individual Attack Power of 75.

In front of the Orcs, it was a complete steamroll.

The first row of Orcs collided with the Rift Guards.

Bone claws swept through, and shadow erosion exploded.

The Orcs, with their Defense at zero, couldn't even withstand two claws from a Rift Guard.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

One after another, they fell.

Following closely behind, the undead Erosion Beast legion and the Sand Jackal legion also surged up from both sides, submerging these one hundred and fifty Orcs.

On the other side, Jackal Hunter led the Sand Jackals to flank, intercepting the stragglers attempting to run back to the territory one by one.

Blade Guard guarded in front of Tian Ming, and occasionally, when an Orc rushed near the archer line, he would cut them back one by one.

Tian Ming didn't even cast any spells. Because there was no need.

Two Orc heroes rushed in front of Man Niu.

One of them raised a stone hammer and smashed it fiercely at Man Niu's head.

Bang! Man Niu didn't dodge.

The hammer hit its Crag Armor, and sparks flew everywhere.

Man Niu didn't budge an inch. It lowered its head and looked at that Orc hero.

Then it swung its bone hammer. Boom!

The Orc hero's chest cavity caved in directly, and it flew backward upon impact, rolling three times before lying motionless.

The other hero had just raised its weapon... Pfft.

A dagger pierced through the back of its neck.

Shadow appeared from the void, and with the teleportation boost of [Shadow Leap], the dagger was precisely inserted into the back of its head.

[Critical Strike] triggered.

The Orc hero fell to the ground, its soul fire extinguished.

Shadow pulled out the blade, flicked off the blood droplets, and disappeared back into the darkness. The whole process took less than two seconds.

...

When Brennan saw the two heroes fall one after another, the axe slipped from his hand.

Within his field of vision, everything was the blue light of skeletons.

He spun around in place and realized he was standing in the middle of a sea of bones.

"Come on! You motherf***ers! Kill me!"

He roared loudly. Suddenly.

A dagger pressed against his throat. The blade swept across.

Brennan's eyes widened instantly.

His gaze finally locked onto the bone city in the sky.

Damn it, lost so ugly.

Thump. He fell to the ground.
