The Skybreakers pressed their assault.
Kenji’s rotary cannons shredded Steel Golems, tearing through their armored torsos until cores were exposed and collapsed!
"They’re easy to deal with as long as you destroy their cores! Don’t target anything else!"
Riku agreed as he also started flying low...
Seeing that he still had enough energy, he decided to use his Spirit Cannons as well.
Soon, a beam of Spirit Energy passed through Mud Golems that tried to entangle a Mummy Lord.
"Haha! Kill them all!"
Hiroshi’s suppressive fire also cracked Stone Golems apart, scattering fragnts across the battlefield, and for the cores that were exposed, they were imdiately targeted by the Skeleton King!
"Asad knows what he’s doing... Just trust the cleanup on him."
Just like that, Ayaka coordinated their formation, marking targets and timing volleys so the chs struck in unison.
Sheena led the charge. Her mana blade cleaved through a Silver Golem with its radiant body sputtering before shattering into shards.
"Golem line broken. Push forward!" she commanded.
But she was actually curious about the Silver Golem’s remains. Those silver chunks might be worth a lot after all. Still, she knew that the looting could happen later.
With the aggressive assault of the ch Fras and the Undead Creatures summoned by Asad, the defenders were definitely weakening.
The once‑impenetrable wall of Golems was now rubble, and their fragnts just littered the ground.
But the rockets were still causing problems.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fred’s unit fired another volley, forcing the Skybreakers to move and dodge.
One rocket grazed Hiroshi’s fra, scorching its plating, while another detonated near Ayaka, shaking her stabilizers. Yet none fell.
The chs endured the assault with their armor getting scarred but still intact.
Below, Asad’s reinforcents arrived.
Rooooaaar!
The ground split open as Doom Knights marched forward!
They were clad in blackened armor with their blades dripping with deathly energy. Behind them, waves of Bone Soldiers and freshly summoned mummies surged once again, filling the path that the ch Fras had created...
"Nice... They’re slow, but they’re finally here." Sheena muttered as she saw the Doom Knights.
Then, the Skeleton King roared, leading the charge into the courtyard.
The outer wall was now completely gone. The Overlord Clan’s shelter was exposed. Now, they must either reclaim this part of the shelter or retreat to their inner wall!
But the defenders weren’t giving up!
From the inner lines, soldiers ard with enchanted rifles and spirit-charged crossbows opened fire. Explosive bolts detonated among the undead, tearing apart clusters of Bone Soldiers!
"The undead army is weak! Destroy them!"
"Do not fear the Skeletons! Fire at them!"
They were actually unafraid of the aggressive advancent of the undead!
Soon, even so Aura Knights hurled javelins that pierced through mummies. Their weapons were also glowing with elental power.
"Hold the line!" commanders shouted from the ramparts.
Fred’s rocket unit reloaded... Thankfully, Delillah’s alchemical fuel was so effective, they would have no issue continuously firing...
It didn’t take that long before the Rocker unit fired another volley that streaked skyward, forcing Kenji to break formation.
"Damn it, they’re not stopping! Those rockets are getting more accurate," he growled, firing back at the courtyard to suppress them.
Unfortunately, they also had their own barrier, and it was difficult to eliminate them at once.
Just like that, the battlefield beca chaos.
***
Skybreakers flew overhead, cutting down defenders and smashing through monunts.
Undead hordes poured through the opened path, overwhelming the outer defenses.
Then, Overlord soldiers fought desperately with their weapons alongside the remaining golems...
Furthermore, Rocket fire lit the sky, and each volley was threatening to cripple the chs. Although the defenders were being overwheld, they weren’t completely without hope!
Sheena’s voice could then be heard through the comms. "Stay focused. The wall is gone... Now we break their heart and push to the remaining monunts. Asad, flood the courtyard!"
Asad’s laughter echoed from within the Bone Scorpion. "Already done."
The Doom Knights slamd into the defenders with their blades and cut through anything that blocked their path!
Then, the Skeleton King clashed with a squad of Aura Knight...
Everyone could see that the Overlord Clan’s shelter was bleeding, but it was far from defeated.
The battle seed to have entered its most brutal stage...
***
From the command tower, Lancelot had been observing the battle... He remained calm throughout the whole ordeal as he knew that they still had many things they could do. He just didn’t want to expose all the tricks up their sleeves.
Soon, his eyes widened.
A shadow fell across the battlefield.
"What is that...?" one soldier muttered.
However, Lancelot knew it imdiately. It seed that he had to take this matter seriously now.
Apparently, descending from the Floating Fortress was a massive transport platform, its engines roaring as it broke through the clouds.
Chains and clamps rattled as the platform lowered, carrying rows of armored figures and chanical humans...
Lancelot nodded as they arrived.
"Super Soldiers... and Warden Units. They’re dropping their reinforcent already."
The platform slamd into the ground outside the breached wall.
Boom!
Dust and debris scattered as its gates opened.
Soon, the Super Soldiers marched out. They were towering n clad in special armor. Their bodies were enhanced with the Super Soldier Serum, making them extrely suitable in this war.
Each of them also carried heavy weapons. They were halberds, shields, and rifles that were upgraded with Item Upgrade Crystals.
Beside them, the Warden Units activated.
These androids were built for suppression. They may not be as huge as the Super Soldiers, but they were all quick, and they were true weapons.
Their arms could even shift into cannons and blade-like appendages if necessary. They moved in perfect synchronization, and of course, it intimidated the defenders.
At this point, Selvaris, one of the Overlord Clan’s commanders, finally appeared. He stood at the innel wall’s ramparts and gave a command.
Soon, the squad leaders knew what to do.
"Suppress the undead! Force the Skybreakers to burn their energy!"
Apparently, they knew that the Skybreakers did not have unlimited power. They would soon need to return and replenish their energy or even get repairs.
***
On the other hand, the Super Soldiers also made their move.
"Destroy the shelter!" Atlas, the commander of the Super Soldiers, roared.
Imdiately, the Super Soldiers and the Warden Units raised their arms.
Energy shields flared across their bodies as they advanced into the courtyard.
Of course, the Wardens led the path since they had very high defensive capability, while the Super Soldiers followed.
"Ohh... They’re finally here." Sheena comnted as she saw the Super Soldiers and Warden Units.
"Perfect timing... I’m only about 35% here..." Ayaka muttered as she looked at her ch’s energy reserves.
Suddenly, they heard Kenji curse. "Damn... They’re forcing us to activate shields. If we keep this up, my energy reserves won’t last."
Ayaka’s tone was calm as she heard that. "It’s fine... We’ve done our part... It’s normal that they want us to burn out."
"That’s right... Shane is also coming... We can’t just end this all by ourselves." Riku added as he realized that he had the lowest energy left. He should be leaving the battlefield very soon.
***
At the sa ti, Lancelot had already confird that Shane wasn’t present for so reason...
’He must be waiting... I guess he had so other plans. For now, I can’t let them break through the inner wall.’ Lancelot mused as he soon inford Selvaris to make his move.
Just like that, from the Overlord Clan’s inner ranks, Selvaris stepped forward.
He had the Electricbrand Talent, and with this ability, it should be effective against the Warden Units or even the ch Fras!
"Hey! Co here!" Selvaris shouted...
He raised his hands, and bolts of electricity leapt across the battlefield.
Boom!
One strike lashed toward Riku’s Skybreaker, forcing his shields to activate...
Thud!
Sparks cascaded across his ch Fra, and it rattled his internal circuits!
"Damn it! Electric interference!" Riku shouted, fighting to keep control.
Another bolt slamd into the Skeleton King’s blade, forcing the undead monarch back a step as its crown flickered.
Selvaris grinned as arcs of lightning danced across his armor. "You think your machines and corpses can overwhelm us? I’ll burn them all down!"
Selvaris didn’t stop with the Skybreakers. His eyes locked onto the Warden Units advancing in formation beside the Super Soldiers.
"Those machines... they’re nothing but walking batteries!" he laughed!
He thrust both arms forward.
Crack!
Bolts of electricity surged across the courtyard, arcing from one Warden Unit to the next. Their synchronized march suddenly stopped as if their circuits overloaded!
However, for so reason, they still started moving!
"Ho~ You got so nice defense but try this..."
Just like that, Selvaris increased the intensity of the attack, and soon, sothing happened...
Boom!
One android’s chest plate exploded. Then, another unit staggered, and its head even started smoking as Selvaris’ lightning burned through its core.
The Super Soldiers raised their shields, trying to protect the Wardens, but Selvaris was just getting started!
Furthermore, the Overlord Clan wasn’t just relying on Selvaris alone.
From the shadows of the inner wall, Mireya finally appeared with her Phantom Shadow Talent activated.
"Assassins, with ," she whispered...
Just like that, her squad of killers lted into the battlefield...
They moved unseen, slipping past the chaos until they were right behind the Super Soldiers!
