165 Unless…
The soil slope formed by magic disintegrated with a bang, and the cavalry charging up the city stepped into the air and fell.
The cavalry behind could not stop in time and collided.
There was a horse-chain disaster.
Then the gas tank fell from the sky.
It was thrown down by Kang De with many strength enhancements and love from the Earth God.
The iron can weighing dozens of kilograms immediately shattered the heads of the two elves and the bones of the surrounding people. This thing was not far from falling rocks.
However, the true damage was not this.
Kang De stepped on the battlements, held the two guns with both hands, aimed them at the bottom of the city, and pulled the trigger.
Nine millimeters of justice, the blood and sweat of a machine tool, and the burning flames enchanted bullets.
When it struck the gas tank wrapped in iron nails and compressed with multiple enchantments, an earth-shattering explosion erupted. The two large explosions immediately exploded, and the raging flame impact pushed the sharp fragments to splash everywhere. For a moment, blood flowed under the city, and flesh, broken limbs, and even bodies flew up.
It was the moment when science and magic intertwined.
After lighting up and exploding, Kang De did not stop. He still fired continuously at the explosion of flames. In any case, at this distance, if he attacked from above, the enemy would still be squeezed into a pile. What was aiming?
Just shoot!
The explosion of the gas tank was already shocking, not to mention that it had been strengthened by multiple enchantments that Kang De continuously modified. The elf cavalry squeezed together, and two huge explosions fell from the sky. They received the raging shock wave almost at zero distance, and their internal organs were severely shaken.
Then, there was the damage of explosion and fragmentation.
For a moment, the scene was extremely tragic. In the smoke and flames, the screams of the elves and the war deer mixed together. No one knew how many elves had died in that attack just now, but one thing was certain.
The powerful army of the world’s hegemon, the Twilight Dynasty, wreaked havoc in Goethe. They destroyed cities along the way and were arrogant, confident, and proud. Their surprise attack on Valentine City had exceeded the expectations of humans every time. The combat strength they displayed completely surpassed this city and they even almost touched the crown of the goddess of victory.
Then, they bled for the first time and suffered a setback.
Inadvertently, Kang De obtained the first kill of the elves in this battle.
All the elves were stunned.
Because this sudden failure and casualties came from under the city, most of the defenders on the city wall were either beaten until they did not dare to get up or could not see this side, but the elves saw it clearly.
Be it the arrow regiment soldiers who ran over, the archers who continued to shoot, the mages who were casting magic to cover them, the cavalry troops protecting them, or even the elf commander who was observing the battle—all the elves who were paying attention to the cavalry charge into the city saw it.
The slope instantly disappeared. The cavalry lost his footing and fell, and death descended from the sky.
Gunshots roared. Kang De drove twice as fast. After emptying the magazine, he reloaded and fired another round.
—I’m done.
The first time he participated in the battle, he was pressed down by the elves’ long-range firepower and beaten up twice. As a transmigrator, the humiliation and anger he received were doubled. D*mn, he was actually suppressed by two rounds of firepower from the natives of the other world. He was really angry! Most importantly, the equipment he had could not allow him to retaliate, so his incompetence turned into anger.
When the mages built the slope and the cavalry charged, Kang De understood that his moment of glory was coming. This was because the extraction superpower was also effective against magic, or rather, more effective.
In theory, he could disintegrate any magic in the world. As long as he could understand, see, and come into contact with it, as long as… he had time.
For example, the fireball could naturally extract the fire elements, but if a large fireball approached him at a speed of 200 yards, he could only roll and dodge in a sorry state, because his mental reaction ability and extraction speed were not that fast—but this slope was here. Could he not deal with it?
Yes.
Therefore, the soil slope disintegrated and the cavalry fell. Kang De threw off two huge explosions and pulled out his gun in one go. The aggrieved anger that had been suppressed until now was swept away. He even felt that his action of standing on the city wall and pulling out his gun to shoot down the city was very handsome. If he filmed it, it would be even better.
Kang De even felt that it was a pity. Why didn’t he wear a stupid windbreaker today?
With the city about to be broken, the hero stepped forward. Explosions, flames, and smoke. He stood on the battlements, and the wind mixed with blood and fire blew the hem of his windbreaker. The two guns crossed and pointed down the city.
If this was a game, there must be a CG scene here.
Sigh, it would be good if his iron son was here. He could get him to take a photo and show it to Old Wang.
Kang De’s mind was distracted for a moment. In the next moment, his expression changed. The hero who had turned the tide almost peed his pants as he jumped down the battlements. He picked up a large shield to block the side and shouted, “Run!”
In the next moment, the mages, the arrow regiment, and even the cavalry who had not lost their combat strength attacked!
Spears whistled as spells soared into the air, and long arrows flew down like a storm.
Dense attacks poured down in Kang De’s direction, almost turning an area of more than ten meters into a hedgehog. The dense rain of arrows was blown away by the next spell attack. Otherwise, this round of stone walls borrowing arrows could be said to have been a huge success.
It could be imagined how angry the elves were after being stunned.
If he could see the hatred of the faction, Kang De would probably have gone from being transparent to a red name that the entire army wanted to kill.
When Kang De fled to the right, the veterans who had lined up to fight the elf cavalry to the death also reacted. They threw down their spears and held shields in both hands. Without any hesitation, they surrounded him. On one hand, they faced out of the city, on the left of the city wall, and on the other, they faced up. Like a turtle shell formation, they protected Kang De in the center and protected him as he retreated, avoiding the covered attack of the elves.
They were laughing wildly. Their laughter was extremely crazy and excited. Perhaps only they knew their current mood.
However, the elves were indeed the hegemons of the world. Not only did their elites show that they were well-equipped, but the war literacy of the entire army was also the most terrifying. The three troops focused their fire on that city wall almost at the same time. After bombarding it for a moment, they changed their target and plowed through inch by inch from the right to the left.
Kang De and the others were continuously retreating. From the gaps in the shields, they saw a rain of arrows, spells, and spears approaching.
Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder. It was the vice-captain who had replaced the commander after the captain died in battle. The Goethe person said, “Leave the city wall and go down quickly. Cathayan, you’ve already proven your value through the blood of the elves. This is not desertion. You shouldn’t die here!”
It was the right choice.
This was because the veterans had all seen that scene.
The elf cavalry was about to rush to the top of the wall and was already at his wits’ end. Apart from fighting to the death, there was no other way. The veterans were already prepared to die in battle, but they saw this Cathayan reach out and touch it. The fatal slope disintegrated. Then, the other party took out two large iron jars that were like spiked clubs from a large box and threw them down.
Then, it exploded. The loud bang and the screams of the elves were simply more pleasant than the voices of the women on the bed. This was simply the most touching note they had ever heard.

Clearly, people with such methods could not die on the city wall in a daze.

The logic of these soldiers was very simple. Human lives were important. Without a doubt, after displaying his methods and value, Kang De’s life was more valuable than dozens of them combined.
Therefore, they had to ensure his life at all costs.
When Kang De heard the other party’s suggestion, he did not agree or object. Instead, he shouted, “Hong San! Where’s Hong San?!”
Hong San fled with him, but the veterans only protected him. As for the other Cathayan, it was not within the consideration of the Goethe people. Kang De shouted and asked. A moment later, Hong San ran over from the inner side of the city wall with an excited expression.
Kang De said, “I’m fine. You…”
However, Hong San did not even look at him. He grabbed a Goethe veteran and said, “Which of you is the leader now? Hurry up and find your superior! The elves made a mistake! The elves made a mistake!”
His eyes were wide and bloodshot, and his expression was a little crazy. He said, “The elves were stunned by those two attacks! Their emotions controlled their rationality and they immediately chose to retaliate, not immediately adjust their tactics. Their cavalry, bows, and mage troops are all shooting here. Most importantly, the soil slope has disintegrated, but their cavalry is still under the city. They did not leave immediately, but stayed to throw spears to take revenge!”
“Do you understand me?!”
He almost shouted, “The elves also have emotions. They’re not always calm and wise without making mistakes. The mages will cooperate with the war machines to attack the cavalry under the city. The archery team will immediately shoot arrows to cover and support the other sections of the city wall. From the cavalry under the city to the half of the arrow regiment soldiers who are already extremely close, they’ll be attacked by our long-range troops!”
“As long as we cause a certain amount of damage to them, we might be able to make the elves retreat temporarily!”
“Because their surprise attack has failed at the last step. If there are additional casualties, it can greatly dampen their drive. This time, they took the risk to attack lightly. It looks to be as fast as lightning, but it has already reached the limit of what this army can endure. As long as we show a powerful counterattack, it can make the elf commander worry!”
“Therefore, quickly find your superior! Where’s Mayor Nick?! Hurry up and find them!”
He roared continuously.
This series of words almost stunned the Goethe soldier.
Before the other party could answer, Hong San sat on the ground and shook his head as he muttered, “It’s useless… When you report it, the elf commander will react. Moreover, even if Mayor Nick realizes this, he has to mobilize the army and coordinate the mages and warlocks. It’s too late, unless…”
Then, there was a buzzing in the sky.
The familiar sound was the vibration of the bowstring and the whistling of the arrow blade cutting through the air. He had heard it many times before. The elves poured a rain of arrows, causing the soldiers enveloped in it to tremble.
However, in the next moment, someone shouted, “Look! In the sky!”
A crack opened in the shield wall. Kang De looked at the sky and saw a rain of arrows pass through the sky. There were a few more volleys everywhere that covered the sky and flew out of the city.
An arc of ice and fire flashed through the sky. Lightning surged, arcane arrows tore through the air, and stone shotgun shells exploded in the air. Like a fairy scattering flowers, the stone crossbow roared and shot angrily. The long-range troops in the city fired in unison. All kinds of attacks fell from the sky and landed on the roaring cavalry not far from the city wall and half of the arrow regiment soldiers who rushed closer!
The city defense battle also had an advantage. If he used magic to attack the enemies near the city wall, the interception efficiency of the enemy mages would decrease because spells also had to fly for a while!
Hong San was right. Elves were not always rational and perfect.
They were also intelligent creatures like humans. They had emotions and desires. They would be blinded by anger and driven by emotions to do less rational things.
The victory they were about to obtain was ruined so they would be disappointed.
Seeing that their companions had actually suffered tragic casualties, they would be furious.
In particular, the victory that was in the bag was like a hot knife cutting through butter. However, they failed at the last moment and suddenly encountered tragic casualties, especially since the elves were such an arrogant race. Those two explosions simply struck the faces of every elf, causing them to spontaneously and tacitly launch a revenge counterattack.
The distant mages, the nearby cavalry, and the arrow regiment that was neither far nor close. The three troops did not have a higher order or unified command and actually spontaneously poured firepower into the same place. Not only was the quality of the soldiers extremely high, but it also reflected the strength of their self-esteem. It was simply the common characteristic of their race.
Being blinded by anger was the reason for their setback.
The cavalry and archers near the city wall were covered in attacks. Because they were very close and could even reach a distance that the human archers could easily envelop, they encountered the focused fire of the siege army. This should have been endured by the infantry.
The ingenious and bold tactics completely changed.
They were probably the first elf arrow regiment and cavalry to be suppressed and shot by human archers in a siege since the war erupted.
Hmm, in the siege, the cavalry and archers were shot by the human city defense troops.
Such a fact humiliated the elves with extremely high self-esteem again. They roared and even wanted to counterattack from afar with the attack, but in the next moment, the city wall changed again.
The surrounding shield wall dissipated. Kang De turned around in confusion and saw soldiers rushing over from behind. Some ran up from the corridors on both sides, some crawled out of the tower, and even climbed up with a ladder… Their outfits were exactly the same as the veterans.
They held round shields in their hands and carried a bundle of spears on their backs. Their armor was excellent and far surpassed the guards on the city. They spontaneously distributed the battlements. After coming up, they immediately entered a combat state. They pulled out the spears from behind and looked down at the cavalry under the city.
The situation had already changed.
Even if the mages wanted to support them again, they had already been attacked by the mages in the city. They intercepted the spells one by one. The war machinery rumbled, and the initiative was handed back to the humans. This was because no matter what the elf mages did, the cavalry and that portion of archers were exposed to the attacks of the garrison and would always be the first target of the humans’ attacks.
This surprise attack had completely failed.
A desolate horn sounded in the distance.
The mages’ attacks became faster and faster. The other half of the archers poured out fast arrows and were no longer stingy with enchanted arrows. Under such a dense attack, the elf troops near the city wall retreated like a tide. Even if they retreated, they were orderly and even turned around to counterattack from time to time.
However, a retreat was a retreat after all.
Just as Hong San had guessed—it was meaningless to continue fighting this lousy battle today.
So… they were saved?
Kang De and Hong San looked at each other.
In such a disadvantaged surprise battle, they had still repelled the elves. This was a victory worth cheering for, but no one cheered. They looked around and saw the surviving militiamen who sat on the ground expressionlessly. They could not even cry. The two of them also saw the dead people. They did not have time to collect the corpses at all. Many corpses had been shot into hedgehogs or shattered by spells.

In the battle just now, the only use of the motley crew was to be beaten up.
Or rather, they did not play any role.
Kang De looked at the black-armored soldiers who appeared at the end and made the final decision. It was obvious to the naked eye that they were far stronger than the militia on the city. The wind was howling as if the entire city was silently watching the elves retreat. Only the projection team continued to attack. The sky was filled with the whistling of arrows and magic.
However, there was no sound.
In the dead silence, Kang De asked Hong San, “You said before that it was too late… unless what?”
