I Am A Legendary BOSS Chapter 282 - War

Chapter 282 War

A great war was about to erupt.

The neighboring Heavy Spear Tribe did not dare to make any reckless moves, so there was no need for William to worry about any attacks on the City of Dawn.

Even though the enchanters were not required in the war, William placed Annie, her three thousand personal guards, and the Seraphkin legion in charge of protecting the City of Dawn.

All available military units were prepared for the pending war.

The 50,000 strong reserve legions were deployed as a backup, while the 130,000 strong legions were deployed to the front line.

Countless commoners lined the streets, holding up food and fresh flowers. They were sending off the soldiers, thinking that the army would emerge victorious.

William had never been stingy with the equipment. He made sure that every soldier had the best and the most expensive equipment.

The lowest grade of equipment was Silver-quality. They were created from resources and money pilfered from other nations.

The 80,000 soldiers were Intermediate professionals.

The outstanding legions, Honor, Fearless, Moonlight, and Night had Gold-quality equipment sets.

The Blade Cavalry Legion and the 500 Dragon’s blood warriors had Dark-Gold quality equipment sets.

Their expensive equipment was also enchanted and fused with attributes-enhancing precious gems.

William understood that this war would invite the close scrutiny of powerful forces. He wanted to exhibit the strongest side of his army so that n.o.body would dare to antagonize the City of Dawn.

He deployed these five legions as vanguards and dispatched them towards the East Sea Metropolis.

Whenever the soldiers came across a Devil’s Den in their path, they mercilessly destroyed it. Many devils who had been scheming and hiding in the dens fled in haste…

The legions were extremely powerful due to their superior equipment.

When the devils saw the Dawn Army approaching from the gra.s.s plains, they gave up the Devil’s Dens and ran for their lives.

Since the founding of the City of Dawn, the city had not taken a breather in wars. However, it had never been defeated in battles. All legions had unbeatable morale and extreme confidence.

It was a powerful aura.

The army marched towards the east like an invisible blade that sliced through the dark clouds

Even though the surroundings were shrouded in the darkness, the Dawn Army was s.h.i.+ning with the Sun’s luminance.

A few scouts of the Red Fire Kingdom observed the phenomenon. They exclaimed in astonishment, “They are like our legions from before the founding of our kingdom. They have a fearless and invincible att.i.tude.”

“The army is not only strong, but their equipment is also top-notch. If the army continues its winning streak, it may obtain the invincible morale BUFF.”

“You’ve great foresight, your Highness. Our ally has great potential.”

“You’re wise, your Highness!”

“You’re wise, your Highness…”

When the spies of other power centers observed the strong army of the City of Dawn, they gasped in shock.

That was the reason why the Lord of Dawn sounded so adamant. He had the power and resolve to destroy the East Sea Metropolis.

However, if the number of vampires was too large…

It would be hard to predict the outcome!

William, Grandmaster Sorimas, Grandmaster Old Leather, Diablo, Burned Cinder, Violent Dragon, and twenty other Advanced professionals led the legions for a total of five days before arriving at the desolate border of the East Sea Metropolis.

The East Sea Metropolis had no intention to battle at the border, so the commoners had been evacuated without leaving any food rations.

Bernard’s intention was clear.

Was William not going to destroy Bernard?

Was the City of Dawn not powerful?

Bernard was not going to weaken his army by spreading out his legions too thin. He intended to concentrate all his military units in the East Sea Metropolis and see if the Dawn army was able to break his defenses.

The situation was crystal-clear.

Sieging a city was the most difficult tactic for the professionals in a battle. It would also cause ma.s.sive casualties.

Moreover, the city walls of the East Sea Metropolis were over 30 meters in height.

Even the Intermediate professionals had to make use of the siege ladders for the city invasion.

It would cause ma.s.sive casualties to the invaders.

Previously, William could depend on the players who could revive after death. But now, the players were not available…

The East Sea Metropolis was not afraid of a siege.

In this magical fantasy world, everyone had a s.p.a.ce ring. As long as the siege did not drag over for a long period of time, the inhabitants would not be lacking in food or resources.

Since the City of Dawn had promised to defeat the East Sea Metropolis in a month, Bernard would counter William by conducting an attrition war.

Although Bernard regretted ma.s.sacring the professionals of the City of Dawn, he still had contrary thoughts. If he could defeat the famous Dawn Army, it would spell the resurgence of the East Sea Metropolis.

The Dawn Army did not encounter any obstacles or ambushes along the way.

Lord Bernard let the Dawn Army approach the East Sea Metropolis without any hara.s.sments.

The 180,000 soldiers of the Dawn Army, garbed in silver-colored armor, appeared like a boundless silver wave.

The grandeur of the Dawn Army gave the vampires immense pressure.

However, not many soldiers were required for defending a siege.

The East Sea Metropolis had 130,000 soldiers at its disposal.

Additionally, the critical vampire legion had arrived at the East Sea Metropolis the previous day.

Bernard was excited. The vampire legion could deal a fatal blow to the Dawn Army, if he could make good use of it.

The vampire legion had a powerful curse that could cripple the numerous legions of the Dawn Army and turn the tide of war.

Moreover, Bernard had almost a thousand vampire subordinates.

There were a total of three Grandmasters vampires including Bernard. 56 vampires were Advanced professionals, while the rest were Beginner professionals.

With their rapid regeneration ability, the vampires were more powerful than Human warriors.

The vampires could suck the blood of the Humans to regenerate their Health Points.

There would be an ample supply of Humans for the vampires to regenerate their health on the battlefield.

As long as the vampires could regenerate, they would be invincible.

On the first day of arrival at the East Sea Metropolis, the Dawn Army did not launch an attack. It focused on setting up camp. Even the catapults were not being prepared for battle.

The strange behavior of the army befuddled many observers…

Wasn’t the Dawn Army going to defeat the East Sea Metropolis in a month?

Even if the Dawn Army was not in a hurry to defeat the enemy, it was illogical not to prepare the crucial catapults. Everyone was sure that the Dawn army had s.p.a.ce rings.

William did not bother to explain. He rode on his warhorse while observing the three-sided city walls of the East Sea Metropolis.

“There are three city gates. According to my scouts, the city gates have been braced by large rocks. It will be hard to enter through them.”

“But as long as it’s a city, there’ll be weaknesses.” William narrowed his eyes. He had found the weaknesses.

The next morning, the army of the East Sea Metropolis was on high alert.

The scouts of the metropolis discovered black cannons in the distance!

300 cannons fired simultaneously at the weak points of five city walls.

Boom!

The cannon shots rattled the sky.

Whenever the shots landed on the thick city walls, the metropolis trembled as though there were severe tremors.

Even though the city walls had been enchanted, the explosions still created large holes, and the walls started to collapse.

Cannons were extremely powerful in the magical fantasy world as the cannon and the cannonb.a.l.l.s could be enchanted.

The enchanted cannons were powerful beyond imagination.

More importantly, William had placed some magical crystal fragments into some of the cannonb.a.l.l.s…

The effects of the enhanced explosions were superior to explosions of ordinary cannon sh.e.l.ls. The devastation terrified many people.

They began doubting whether it was really cannon fire, as the devastation was beyond their wildest imagination.

They were worried that all the city walls might collapse from the continuous sh.e.l.ling.

Bernard quivered, as he wobbled on the ramparts. His eyes were wide-open in astonishment.

He immediately shouted, “Organize the men and fill those gaps. Otherwise, the East Sea Metropolis will fall!”

The families of the Human legions had been threatened by the vampires, so the soldiers had no choice but to obey the vampires. They went behind the city walls in a bid to brace the walls from collapsing.

At the same time, a vampire who was overlooking the east sea gaped in shock.

He noticed tens of wars.h.i.+ps of the City of Dawn attacking from the ocean.

He immediately deployed the naval wars.h.i.+ps of the East Sea Metropolis to intercept the enemy!

Cannon shots were heard at the east sea. Two wars.h.i.+ps were hit by cannon fires, causing sailors, wooden debris, and wine barrels to be flung into the sea.

Two Epic wars.h.i.+ps of the City of Dawn valiantly charged into the midst of the East Sea Metropolis naval fleet and opened fire.

These two wars.h.i.+ps had tens to hundreds of cannons that simultaneously opened fire.

The few wars.h.i.+ps of the East Sea Metropolis that were nearest to the attack had been blown to smithereens.

Captain Jack was a legendary Dragon’s blood warrior. He was seen leaping onto various enemy wars.h.i.+ps.

Wherever he went, sword flashes appeared.

The enemy sailors and the main masts of the wars.h.i.+ps were being cut down.

Some of the enemy sailors tried to stop him…

But there were no competent sailors who could stop Captain Jack.

Even though the enemy had some Advanced professionals, they were not on par with Captain Jack.

Sword flashes and cannon fires lit the decks of the enemy wars.h.i.+ps.

Fresh blood was splattered into the ocean.

Explosions wracked the wars.h.i.+ps of the East Sea Metropolis. They were forced to flee from the naval melee.

Captain Jack led his naval legion in the attack of the enemy harbor.

At this instance, the city walls of the East Sea Metropolis had fallen.

The city walls had a huge gaping hole from the cannon fire, but the cannons did not stop.

William did not show mercy even though human soldiers were behind the city walls.

And the cannons continued their incessant bombardment.

The defending legions of the East Sea Metropolis were being engulfed by a huge inferno.

The s.h.i.+eld-bearers valiantly placed their s.h.i.+elds together, but they were unable to fend off even a single cannon shot!

Broken limbs and shredded armors flew in the air. There were no complete corpses…

Bernard’s heart sank when he realized his luck had run out…

He gaped at the destruction of the metropolis in a daze…

Everything had happened too fast.

It was too fast…

There was a vast difference in military power with the usage of cannons…

Bernard only had a single vampire legion…

And it did not make any difference.

But William would like to tell Bernard…

In a large scale battle, besides the magical cannons, the long-distance cannons reigned supreme.

Otherwise, William had no reason to be complacent.

He was going to destroy the East Sea Metropolis!

William led his powerful warriors and charged into the East Sea Metropolis.

Thereafter, all the legions launched their attacks on the East Sea Metropolis in an orderly fas.h.i.+on.
