"They probably wouldn’t dare drag it on for too long, since this battle isn’t isolated. Once the Tukan People temporarily lose the ability to cross the lake, we can transfer more witches from the front lines to launch a counterattack against them."
The Red Feather Witch raised an objection, "The decisive battle is sure to erupt tonight. Those Demon Trees are very likely to arrange the general offensive before dawn. By then, our military supplies will be largely consud, and the soldiers will be exhausted to the extre."
"We cannot let them lead us by the nose." Gaven paced back and forth, "Feigning an attack should combine reality with illusion; if everything is a bluff, it would be aningless.
Bring the enemy’s feint attack forces onto the city walls, entice them to escalate from feint to full attack. Even if they refuse to launch, we can still profit from their feint troops. I just want to see how many cannon fodders they have for us to kill."
"This is indeed a thod, but such action will significantly increase the number of casualties." Hanson said with so concern.
"Where is there any war without casualties!" Gaven said with a cold and hard expression, "Slow movent speed is the fatal weakness of these Awakened Plants. Even if they launch a full-scale attack, it’s hard to achieve a complete breakthrough. It’s an inevitable process; it’s always better to keep everything under control than to fall into passivity."
"Compassion does not govern soldiers; to abandon favorable tactics due to fear of casualties would be the greatest negligence of a commander." The Red Feather Witch recomnded, "I support the Commander’s decision."
"Sorry, I was overthinking it. Let’s proceed according to the Commander’s plan." Hanso no longer objected.
Once the decision was made, the orders were quickly communicated.
The City of Usr suddenly fell into silence; even the illumination arrows for observation were no longer fired, yet the entire city wall and the surrounding 18 ters were illuminated flawlessly.
Those spellcasters directly cast the Daylight Spell onto the city walls.
Soon, those Withering Branch Monsters ca up under the cover of darkness. It was still a feint, the formation was sparse, with only one monster every few ters.
"Fire the arrows, quickly fire the arrows, the enemy is coming up."
The newcors, seeing the exposed Withering Branch Monsters, were eager to draw their bows and shoot without considering the number.
"Save your arrows. A few of these little guys aren’t worth wasting arrows on. Just keep your shields up and watch." The Great Valley Rangers stopped the rookies, put away their bows and arrows, and drew their lee weapons.
With their rich combat experience, they didn’t take the Withering Branch Monsters seriously; they were accustod to bizarre entities, having seen stranger things in the forest.
As those Withering Branch Monsters struggled to climb up the city wall, before they could attack, the blade light like a snow chain arrived.
The Great Valley Rangers unanimously targeted the slender waists of the Withering Branch Monsters, slicing them either in half or into several pieces.
After hitting the ground, most of them fell silent, turning into actual withered branches.
Whether Awakened Plants or Undead, although they don’t have vital organs like living creatures, they possess life force; even the Undead without constitution have it because it represents their soul’s essence.
When their soul essence is exhausted, they revert to dead objects.
Thus, even if they have so resistance to arrows, getting hit multiple tis will still result in death by shooting, dispersing their life essence in the process.
Thus, the feint tactic of the Withering Army turned into a pouring tactic.
Three waves in succession rely required the Great Valley Rangers to swing their swords three or four tis, leaving the ground beneath the walls of Usr City covered with thousands of corpses of Withering Branch Monsters.
The Withering Branch Monsters failed not only to climb the walls but also to touch the hems of the defenders’ clothing; the combat experience of both sides wasn’t on the sa level at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The loud collision sounds officially marked the comncent of this battle.
Large projectiles bombarded the crest of the city of Usr, leaving its defenders, who affird the enemy had no remote attack capabilities, a bit bewildered.
Upon closer inspection, it was not projectiles but countless Withered Vine Creatures tangled together.
The violent impact didn’t kill them, and they staggered up from the ground, waving vine arms to attack the surrounding defenders.
"Don’t co over! Don’t co over! Don’t co over!"
"Ahhh... Monsters... What are these monsters?"
"Monsters have climbed the city walls, monsters have climbed the city walls, we can’t hold on, we can’t hold on!"
Those inexperienced Usr militia panicked directly, having no psychological preparation to face these monsters. After all, they subconsciously thought they just needed to stand on the walls, shooting arrows, stabbing long spears at the outside.
"Don’t panic, these monsters are not as scary as you think! They’ve been half-killed from the fall. Switch to long spears, everyone nearby switch to long spears, follow !"
The Great Valley Rangers stepped up again, stabilizing the formation, casually grabbing a long spear, directly poised against the Withered Vine Creatures. With a three or four-ter-long spear on them, even if their vine arms could drag to the ground, reaching up to 1.5 ters long, they couldn’t attack the owner of the spear.
