The night was low, and the sky of the City of Ashes was illuminated by fire and explosions. Hordes of mutant beasts emerged from the darkness like a tidal wave, and on top of the city walls, every guard and alien was stony-faced, gripping the weapons in their hands tightly in preparation for the upcoming battle to the death.
"Fire!" William raised his arm and ordered in a loud voice.
Instantly, countless gun muzzles sprayed dazzling tongues of fire, and the dense bullets formed a storm of steel, ruthlessly sweeping into the beast tide. Explosions and screams intertwined, the air was filled with the smell of smoke and blood, the front row of the mutant beasts fell, but the beasts in the rear did not stop, trampling on the corpses of their own kind to continue charging.
On top of the city walls, the high-powered machine guns controlled by members of the Free Chamber of Commerce continuously sprayed fire, and a metal storm raged through the enemy group. At the same time, the low-level Exalts raised their special heat energy rifles, constantly firing point-blank at the charging beasts.
"Hold the defense line! We can't let them get close to the city walls!" Alexander stood in the center of the city wall, commanding the Enlightenment Alliance's xenos to shoot with precision, his voice firm and steady.
However, the number of beasts far exceeded imagination, and more and more huge mutant beasts began to approach the city walls. These huge monsters possessed thick skin and terrifying strength, they ignored the gunfire and rushed under the city wall, and began to violently crash into the fortifications.
The violent crashing sound caused the entire city wall to tremble, and some of the guards were so shaken that they fell down as they were unsteady on their feet. "All earth-type aberrations! Reinforce the city walls!" Alexander calmly commanded.
"They're coming up!" The guards shouted in terror.
"Prepare for melee combat!" William quickly ordered, and the warriors of the Brotherhood of Steel drew the huge swords and battle axes in their hands, their eyes sharp.
At this moment, numerous small mutant beasts also began to climb along the bodies of the large mutant beasts, leaping to lie on the city wall, their strong front claws ruthlessly inserted into the gaps of the wall, utilizing their amazing strength to climb upwards. The guards panicked and tried to repel them, but with little success.
"Meet them!" William roared angrily and took the lead in rushing towards a giant beast, his giant sword slashed down viciously with an ear-piercing whistling sound, instantly severing the head of a mutant beast that had climbed up the city wall, splattering blood in all directions.
The battle instantly descended into chaos, the sounds of swords clashing and alien energy erupting resounded from everywhere on the city walls. The heavily armored warriors of the Brotherhood of Steel were at the forefront, using their giant swords and tomahawks to fight to the death with the giant beasts; the warriors of the Enlightenment Alliance nimbly weaved in and out of the enemy group, cutting the mutant beasts' vitals with precision.
The members of the Free Chamber of Commerce also had to pull out their melee weapons with supernatural abilities to meet the mutant beasts climbing up the city walls.
Ian stood in the center of the battlefield, the lightning long knife in his hand blooming with dazzling light, his figure constantly weaving like lightning, each swing accompanied by the loud sound of thunder and lightning bursting, swiftly cutting down the approaching mutant beasts.
"We can't let them continue to approach!" Ian's voice was permeated with determination as the Thunder Blade swept out, instantly sending several charging mutant beasts flying out.
However, as the battle continued, more and more mutant beasts climbed up the city wall, the defense line was gradually torn apart, and many guards fell, suffering heavy casualties.
A terrifying roar suddenly came from the distance, and several huge figures appeared on top of the battlefield, rapidly approaching the city walls against the dense firepower - the flare-class mutant beasts began their large-scale attack.
"The flare class has appeared!" A guard shouted in alarm.
William and Alexander quickly looked at each other and nodded, "Attack with full force! Everyone back off!"
The two of them erupted with intense energy fluctuations, their Luminary-class strength exploding in an instant. William waved his huge sword, "Battle Technique - Sword Blade Storm!" Sword energy swept out like a storm, tearing apart a large swath of beasts;
"Battle Technique - Blazing Radiance!" Alexander unleashed a powerful force of light, and the blazing light instantly incinerated the surrounding mutant beasts into ash.
Adrian of the Free Chamber of Commerce also stopped hiding his strength at this moment: "Battle Technique - Shadow Impact!" With himself as the center, a powerful shadow power spread out, and the powerful impact instantly tore apart the surrounding mutant beasts.
Under the joint efforts of the Luminary-class trio, the pressure on the city walls was instantly reduced, the beasts were temporarily cleared out, and the flare-class mutant beasts that were close to the city walls were also killed. The morale on the city walls instantly rose.
"Hang in there, we can win!" Ian shouted loudly, leading the crowd to quickly reorganize their formation.
However, just as the crowd was slightly relieved, an even more terrifying roar once again came from the darkness outside the city, and several huge figures slowly walked out, these huge mutant beasts also exuded powerful Luminary level energy.
Everyone's hearts plummeted, the hope that had just risen was once again ruthlessly suppressed.
"They even have Luminary level ... as well," William's face was unsightly." If you can't hold out any longer, you can ask me for help. "Alexander flirted to the side, but from his serious expression, it was clear that his mood was not as light as his mouth said.
"I hope you all survive, if you die, who should I ask for money for the weapons and supplies I provided." Adrian still had wealth on his mind at this point.
The three strongest people in the City of Ashes, who had been fighting each other for their entire lives, seemed to have some subtle changes in their relationship because of this joint battle.
