993 Attack of the Giants
Boom!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The reaction of the giants was not slow, but rather swift. Their strength was equally formidable. As they swung their weapons, either deflecting or smashing, a thunderous clangor reverberated. Some crossbow arrows exploded upon impact, while others exerted immense gravitational force as they burst forth. The giants were blasted and forced to retreat on the spot, their skeletal structures produced crisp cracking sounds as if on the verge of shattering.

“Ah!”

Upon collision, some crossbow arrows emitted a dazzling light. In the darkness, the sudden flash of intense light was indescribable, particularly in terms of its stimulation to the eyes, which was extremely glaring. Some giants instinctively covered their eyes, letting out cries of anguish. The process of wielding their weapons to block the crossbow arrows was instantly disrupted, as the arrows firmly struck their bodies.

The giants possessed powerful bodies and impeccable defenses. Their physique was no less inferior than that of body refiners.

However, in the face of the crossbow arrows, they were still penetrated on the spot, forcefully lodged with holes in their bodies.

Their bodies were sent flying backward, crashing to the ground with blood spurting out like streams of crimson light.

Swift as thunder, the Thunder Arrows struck with explosive force, resulting in immense destruction. As if struck by lightning, their entire bodies were charred black.

There were thousands of these mounted crossbows installed on the city walls, shooting out a torrential barrage of massive arrows. They covered the battlefield, almost engulfing the majority of the giants within the attack range.

Some giants were hit in vital spots and brutally killed by the crossbow arrows instantly.

However, this did not halt the advance of the giant army. On the contrary, they continued their frenzied siege on the Rising Sun City. These giants were almost all at a level no lower than that of the mythical realm. With bodies comparable to body refiners, they proved challenging to eliminate.

Some giants held enormous shields, blocking off the crossbow arrows. They appeared like an impenetrable wall of bronze, unstoppable on the battlefield.

The giant army continued to approach Rising Sun City without ceasing.

Three thousand meters… two thousand meters… one thousand meters…

“Target, enemy forces outside the city, attack freely, kill!”

When the giants reached the range of the Purgatory Divine Crossbow and the most powerful killing range of bows and arrows, another order echoed from the city wall.

Poised for action, the crossbowmen swiftly pulled the triggers, and arrows shot out like raindrops.

The arrows, infused with spiritual energy, shimmered like radiant beams of light, akin to fireworks illuminating the dark night.

The dense rain of arrows unleashed tremendous destructive power on the battlefield. Even the giants, with their thick skin and flesh, succumbed to the penetrating arrows, turning them into spiky masses resembling hedgehogs. However, some giants were too large, and the arrows could only pierce the surface layer of fat without reaching their internal organs. Instant death could only be achieved by striking vital points.

However, the giants also paid a price, as numerous giants fell on the path of their charge.

Faster!

These giants seemed fearless and undeterred by the onslaught of arrows. They continued to approach Rising Sun City even after witnessing many of their kin fall under the barrage.
They were closing in with remarkable speed.

Fearless in the face of death, unfazed, without any dread of mortality.

Charge! Charge! Charge!

The soldiers on the city wall could not help but be consumed by a gripping fear when they saw these unflinching giants. They had never encountered enemies who dared to charge directly through the hail of arrows.

“What the hell are these monsters? It’s the first time I’ve seen enemies who can madly charge through the rain of arrows without a trace of fear on their faces. Are they puppets?” Zhang Fei’s facial muscles twitched involuntarily.

Encountering such opponents would undoubtedly leave anyone shaken.

“Throw the rune bombs!”

When the giant army approached within a thousand meters, another command was issued.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Rune bombs were hurled at the giant army without hesitation.

Boom!

These giants were dauntless, not even knowing what a rune bomb was. They wielded their weapons to shield themselves, detonating the cluster of rune bombs simultaneously, unleashing a devastating force of annihilation that swept over like a tidal wave. The impact struck the giants, propelling those in the forefront to be forcefully thrown backward, their bodies shattered by the successive waves of overwhelming power.

Even the shields were shattered and sent hurtling through the air.

What was unnerving was that despite all this, the giants continued to charge forward rapidly, stepping over the bodies of their comrades. Every step they took was resolute, all in their quest to reach the walls of Rising Sun City.

As the giants broke through waves of attack, a massive stone appeared in their hands at a distance of a few hundred meters from the city wall. Unhesitatingly, they flung the stone at the city wall.

The impact was like a meteor crashing down.

Boom!

Swiftly, an onslaught of massive crossbow arrows was unleashed, hurtling towards the giant stones, shattering them into countless tiny fragments that spattered down on the city wall. Soldiers swung their sabers and slashed at the stones. As the fragments split apart, their bodies were pushed backward by the pressure contained within the stones, crashing directly into the city.

“Kill!” The giant yelled.

Chunks of giant stones descended upon the city wall like raindrops.

“Use the rune bombs!”

Once again, the rune bombs were released, not at the giants this time, but at the massive stones thrown by the giants. Upon impact, they instantly detonated, bursting the stones into fragments in mid-air.

The giants had already reached the base of the city wall.

The walls of Rising Sun City were towering at dozens of meters high. However, this height was not insurmountable for the giants. Some of them were even taller than the walls themselves. They were able to swing their arms and strike the walls.

The giants’ attacks could directly reach the walls, hitting all the soldiers stationed there.

Facing the giants in close combat, no one could have imagined that the Human Army could display such valor. Despite the onslaught of arrows, they still managed to charge forward and reach the base of the city wall. This audacious assault immediately disrupted the rhythm of the battlefield, completely throwing off the Dawn warriors.

In the past, the prospect of facing the bows and crossbows of the Dawn guaranteed a violent bloodbath.

Yet, these giants were able to break through the storm of arrows in the shortest amount of time, withstanding only a few waves before reaching the walls. They even launched direct attacks on the walls.

Some soldiers were smashed down by the giants’ iron hammers, their bodies instantly crushed into a bloody mess. Even the shields that emitted protective auras on their battle armor were pulverized.

However, the giants did not have it easy.

They were facing the unyielding Dawn warriors.

Spears, imbued with formidable strength, glinted with sharpness as they stabbed straight toward the giants’ vital points. Standing before the Dawn warriors were the towering giants with tough skin and robust bodies, comparable to body refiners of the same level.
