THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapters 674. Defense

Sam looked at the shadow of the people in the tent and could guess how tense they were now. He just grinned and shifted his gaze to the remaining places. He looked at the battle formation and the number of people coming.

Currently, they were outnumbered by about thirty times. There are too many enemy soldiers.

But Sam was so relaxed that he started looking for a Minotaur with an affinity element to complete his chess set.

He also sought out the positions of ghosts and other Pre-transcendent stage cultivators so he could consider adding them to his collection.

The Wights began to move along with the other people in the tent as they spread out among their troops.

Sam was currently surrounded from all three sides and they walked towards that huge water ring. It was actually the first line of defense to the city. The walls were completely gone and the city seemed empty and open, but he was confident in defending the city.

While the troops are led by water element users and ice element users so that they can provide a way for them above the water ring, they do not realize that the water ring is not the first thing they should worry about.

Sam put his finger on the table and traced it along with a picture of the road and took it to one of the new war machines.

The machine is a large rectangular wooden box. There are many circular holes on its surface. There was a large rectangular metal plate attached to it at the bottom, perpendicular to it and also to its back.

The rectangular plate has a small protrusion with a hole in it. The dwarves standing there filled the small holes with wooden bolts that looked like arrow bolts with metal tips and took a step back. They loaded more than a hundred of them in one frame and took a step back.

At that moment, Sam stopped his tracing in the mansion over the holographic image, the inscription leading to it was activated and there was a dim light above the wooden frame of the machine.

At the same time, the rectangular plate moved upwards and hit the back of the wooden box.

The wooden bolts moved into the wooden box and passed through the holes of the wooden box as they shot towards the enemy troops.

But the dwarves noticed that when the bolts were fired, they burned with gray fire.

The bolts moved towards the enemy forces and before they could hold out, they pierced into the front lines. Water and ice element user.

Twenty war machines do the same.

The bolts engulfed in gray flames were piercing themselves into the enemy especially on the frontlines and the enemy caught the gray flames and started burning.

The troops moving in an orderly and confident manner were in total chaos in a matter of seconds.

Sam made another adjustment and once again shot another round and this time, the trajectory changed and the target was the people behind the front line.

A large number of enemy troops were suddenly enveloped by the gray flames.

They were in a tight formation that made it easier for the gray flames to spread.

The leader of the wights, who was also the commander of the troops was dumbfounded. Not only him, every single person from the undead who knew about this immortal fire could not help but feel a sense of panic.

They knew the consequences of this, their troops would be crippled in no time.

Before they could react and take action, the troops had already turned into undead and started attacking their former comrades.

The worst damage was done by flying beasts. There were many bat-type beasts and vulture-type beasts and when they caught the gray flames, they were rampant. The riders on their backs suffered and then both of them crashed into the troops before spreading even more fire.

The troops that were charging forward suddenly came to a halt because of this and they tried their best to control the situation.

"Kill everyone who catches the gray fire. Hurry."

"Change formation. Formation three." He continued with orders and the troops began to defend, but it was not easy. No matter how hard they tried to maintain the wooden bolts, it was difficult for them to do so.

All it took was a slight smell of fire and people started burning and turning into undead.

They retreated a little and turned into a new formation. They remained silent for the time being beyond their reach.

Commander Wights was depressed. He lost a lot of troops and now he had to find a way to enter the city. He sent his orders to the remaining side and told them to remain silent for now.

He started drawing the layout of the city and tried to find the blind spot of that war machine. If they could find that place, they would be able to enter the city. According to him, water rings and other traps can be overcome with numbers, but not with these wooden bolts. The numbers will only prove more troublesome.

Over the next few days, he sent smaller teams in various places to avoid these bolts, but the machines could target them. After thinking long and hard, they finally found a way. But this time, they did not try to avoid it, the plan was to dodge.

The bolts themselves were not a threat to begin with, the gray flames were the only threat to them and commander Wight thought of the weakness of the gray flames and his own ability to counter the gray flames.

Then he sent his army to hunt to capture some ferocious beasts from the wild. He only had some requirements for ferocious beasts. They must be bird type and they must be large. He did not care about their cultivation level. All he needs is size.

After catching the birds, the wights turn them into their servants. The gray flames were dangerous, but just working their magic on living beings, the undead were the exception, the most one would do was to make the corpse fall apart.

But all he needed was a certain time lag and the corpses lasted quite a long time.

The next day, the ferocious beasts began to form a curtain over the heads of the troops as they moved forward. Even the frontlines were guarded by the undead servants as well. They bore the heaviest burden of bolts and gray flames as they led the troops forward.

When they reached the water ring, the weight commander finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The undead soldiers switched with the ice element users as they began to create ice trails on the water.

They were about to cross the water ring, but at this exact moment, the commander of the load heard another voice from Sam.

"You're really as good as the Vampires say, but dp you really think it'll be that easy. You might want to get your people to stand in a better place."

As soon as those words ended, the soldiers in front of all felt the earth tremble, and before they could think of what had happened, several tens of meters of ground collapsed around the water ring. The troops standing at that distance all fell into the water.

The true size of the water ring is revealed and the weighted commander faces the loss of a very large army.

He almost went crazy when he saw the sight.

To his relief, some of the soldiers managed to react in time and returned. He decided to advance once more since this was a one-time surprise attack.

They froze the water ring and managed to cross it. But their suffering did not stop there and it had just begun.

Thin spray of water on the edge of the water ring. The enemy knew this from the Minotaur. But what they don't know is Sam is increasing the bursts of water not only on the ground but also in the surrounding houses.

This time the water is not only mixed with poison, but also indigo water.

Commander Wight simply gritted his teeth and let them move forward. No matter the price, he needed a city. When the Vampires failed, the situation fell into the hands of the Wights and they would not lose it.

They were the operation leaders for a reason and if they lost this city, that might change, it would affect things beyond his own imagination.

So, he made his troops march forward as he saw a recap of what happened to the troops led by the Vampires.

The only difference was that the weighted commander led more troops and suffered more losses compared to the Vampires.
