Mo Fan kept hearing the sounds of something like long bugle horns. A gray cloud had taken the shape of a bugle horn to the east of Banlo City.

The bugle horn was so huge that it almost pierced through the black clouds in the sky. It was blaring out the signal to advance to the army. All of Banlo City could hear it.

Colorful spells immediately began attacking the barricades. They combined into a magical storm, pouring down at the other side of the barricades.

The third assault troop of the army....

Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Bai were like ducks being driven out onto a perch. There were around eighty people behind them who kept pushing them forward.

Everyone knew the first round of attacks at the walls would be the fiercest. The chance of survival was less than ten percent!

They did not have a choice. The captains who were supervising the assault troops would treat them as deserters if they showed the slightest intention to back away.

“Go, take over the walls and you will be a hero to Banlo City!” the apish captain yelled encouragingly.

The assault troop was heading straight toward a barricade across a minor street.

The rest of the assault troops were charging at the walls on the main highway. There were at least a thousand soldiers in total.

The walls were around two kilometers long. The Federation army’s goal was to take over the barricades on Hope Street and take out the enemy in the other half of the city.

Mo Fan did not rely too much on his magic.

This battle was going to last for a long time. They were only waiting for the Federation’s army to launch their counterattack. They did not have to fight for the sake of the Federation.

Besides, he could easily take over the wall on the minor street by himself, let alone with an assault regiment consisting of a thousand soldiers.

“Look out for the Water Guns!” Black Chimpanzee shouted.

A few rows of Water Mages popped up above the walls and began constructing Star Orbits amid the bombardment.

A blue energy was flowing on their arms after they constructed the blue Star Orbits. The militias gathered the energy on their palms.

Water burst out of their palms like a high-pressure pump. It was like a dam had burst when a few hundred Water Mages did it at the same time!

A Basic or Intermediate Mage was only slightly stronger and healthier than an ordinary person physically. They were unable to withstand the pressure of the fierce tide.

Some of the Mages were even knocked flying by the water and slammed into the jagged debris and concrete. Those who were unlucky were punctured by scattered steel-reinforced bars and the sharp edges of the rubble.

The assault troop of a hundred soldiers was indeed cannon fodder. They had lost their ground before they could even cast a single Basic Spell.

Mo Fan palmed his forehead.

What the heck were they doing? He knew these soldiers of the Federation’s army were weak, but how did they all fall in less than half a minute?

The three of them felt completely out of place, as they were the only ones standing!

“Stand up, stand up now and keep going forward!” the apish captain yelled.

The High-Pressure Water Guns were not to be underestimated. Even those used to wash cars were strong enough to hurt people, let alone these spells that were at least five to six times stronger. The pressure could even break a person’s bones!

“Why don’t we join the assault troops on the main street instead?” Zhao Manyan suggested.

“Idiot, we are assigned to target this segment of the walls!” the frantic captain yelled at him.

“We are the only ones left. Do we really have to keep going?” Zhao Manyan pointed out.

The apish captain glanced at his remaining men before looking at the well-trained militia on the walls.

“To the main street. Damn it, come with me if you can still move! You useless pricks, you can’t even handle the militia!” Black Chimpanzee never stopped chewing them out.

——

They ran to the main street, where a chaotic fight was taking place.

The Federation’s army had eleven assault teams, who were charging recklessly at the barricades like cannon fodder. The main force, which mainly consisted of Fire Mages, was further behind the assault troops.

The Fire Mages were like archers and cannons in a battle, protected in the middle by the rest of the army. Their job was to overwhelm the enemy with firepower.

The troops to the sides were mostly Wind and Light Mages. Their job was to occupy the enemy.

A war was more or less a bigger-scale group battle. The groups would have their assault squads, main battalions, side platoons, and a platoon with control magic.

The Brown Army was defending the barricades. Their formation was much simpler.

The walls had provided them with a geographical advantage. They just needed to stay on the high ground and throw their spells down, just like rolling stones from the top of the slopes.

The walls were only occupied by Brown Army militia, but they were still a great hindrance to the Federation Army’s advance.

The Federation Army did not have militia, but the Brown Rebels kept recruiting people who were influenced by the Frenzy Rain into their army to fight as militiamen.

If the rain kept falling, the number of militia would continue to increase. Even kind people like the militia sergeant from before would end up as weapons in the war!

——

“Those a**h****, they keep throwing Water Spells at us. Not only are our Fire Mages weakened by the rain, our assault troops are struggling to climb to the top!” the commander of the assault regiment snarled.

The blond Commander kicked Black Chimpanzee in the stomach as soon as the apish captain came up to him.

The captain was not behaving as arrogantly as when he treated his men. He had a wronged expression, just like an obedient lackey.

“I told you to cause some disturbances by attacking the other side of the trench, yet you’ve crawled back here in defeat. Can’t you see how many soldiers have sacrificed their lives? Go and find a way to climb up the trenches!” the Commander shouted. His temper was even worse than the Black Chimpanzee’s.

The captain did not dare disobey his superior’s order. He quickly led his remaining men and joined the battle.

A troop had managed to clear a path. They quickly took hold of the opportunity to climb to the top of the walls.

“Let’s go! You guys, come with me!”

The apish captain managed to find an opening amid the chaos. The militia of a certain segment of the walls had retreated after they were scared by a huge rock flying in their direction.

The Rock Tanks were further behind the army. They were only firing randomly at the enemy’s territory, but the rocks were still extremely deadly.

“This is our chance, there’s an opening over there!”

“Sir, there’s an opening right in front of us. We don’t have to run so far.”

“Nonsense, there were at least a few dozen people defending the walls here. Why would there be an opening... uhh…?”

Black Chimpanzee lifted his gaze and noticed the Water Mages in the trenches behind the barricades had been taken out.

There was no sign of danger!

It was like a blessing from the Heavens. They were alive!
