All the warriors were on top of the city walls.
Looking at the swarm of enemies outside the eastern gate, everyone's gaze trembled.
Those sounds of slaughter felt like they were coming from the depths of hell, increasing everyone's fear multiple times. Those present with lower cultivation immediately started trembling.
Fear!
Incomparable fear!
The sky looked as if devilish flames were suppressing it.
The devilish flames that covered the sky looked like they were trying to devour everything in heaven and earth. And it was getting closer and closer to the Capital City!
Maxwell leapt into the air and descended onto the top of the city wall. He watched as the devil fiend army grew closer, and some lonely figures fought desperately to resist their advance.
Suddenly…
Someone cried out.
"It's his majesty!"
"It's the Royal Palace Guards!"
"It's General Charles!"
"They… out of 200,000 elite troops, they're the only ones left? These devil fiends are too powerful! We… we… are we even their opponents?"
"Gulp!"
Everyone was in fear.
Everyone was trembling, including Maxwell.
He, too, was trembling in fear.
But what he was clear on was that someone needed to stand out at this moment. No matter how strong the opponent was, once you started getting scared, you wouldn't be able to display your strength, however powerful it may be. Maxwell's voice turned heavy as he shouted: "Fellow citizens!"
"I know everyone is scared right now because I am scared as well!"
"But everyone needs to think about their own family and their fellow brothers and sisters. If we become scared and our final line of defence collapses, what would happen to them? They will die by the hands of these devil fiends in the most miserable way!"
"For our family and for our country, what do you think we should do?!"
For a moment…
Maxwell's question caused a brief silence.
A soft-sounding voice was then heard. It wasn't very loud, but it was extremely crisp and clear so that everyone could hear it.
"Kill them all!"
Once that was said, Maxwell roared out in excitement: "Spoken correctly! We shall kill them all!"
"Boom!"
Maxwell's words were like a fuse that instantly ignited the entire city.
Everyone was clenching their fists as the fear in their hearts was forced out. They all shouted in unison: "Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all!"
Their voices were louder than the others.
Constantine flew up to the top and said, "Boss, the bow and arrows have been delivered and have all been issued. The bow and arrows are all normal items, so are they really going to be of use?"
"Of course they're going to be useful!"
Maxwell faintly smiled in thought. If a single arrow can cause 1 point of health loss, then 100,000 arrows can cause 100,000 points of damage. It's basically the ideal weapon for ranged health depletion.
Also at this time…
Godfrey also came over and said, "Boss, the catapults are ready."
"All the forgers in the Capital City are concentrated here."
"All the alchemists in the Capital City have come."
"…"
"Good, good, good!"
"Everyone is united in fighting against the devil fiends. I refuse to believe that we won't succeed!" The blood in Maxwell was boiling as he immediately gave a command: "Legion of forgers – use all your effort to forge upgrade arrows and upgrade metal rocks!"
"Alchemists – as long as they are medicinal pills with curing effects, it doesn't matter what grade they are, just concoct as much as you can!"
After making these arrangements, Maxwell's expression changed as he shouted: "Listen up, all personnel in the army! The Sky Ranking competition is starting now! Whoever kills the most devil fiends will have the highest rankings! The top ranker shall receive ten improved Profound Burst Pills and one earth-grade upgrade weapon!"
"The top ten Sky rankers will also have rewards!"
As his voice faded…
People were glancing at each other before excited expressions were revealed on their faces.
Just being in the Sky Rankings gave a person a certain identity. It was also considered a springboard for that person to enter a high-ranking sect or a large force. As long as one appeared in the Sky Rankings, then there was an opportunity for them to succeed in life!
And with the addition of ten special Profound Burst Pills, this made everyone even more excited.
"Hahaha…"
"Interesting!"
"I can't wait anymore!"
"My large blade is already thirsty for sustenance!"
"Quickly come, you damn devil fiends! I need to rise in the Sky Ranking competition!"
---
Godfrey flicked his sword with an extremely calm look on his face. The Hulk Sword released an extremely strong sword intent as his aura merged with it. In just a brief moment, they had already achieved the strongest rank of man and sword as one.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The devil fiend army approached closer and closer.
They continuously emitted thunderous explosions, but this time, no one on the city walls was afraid.
Their faces were filled with excitement.
Also at this time…
Two figures flew over and heavily smashed into the city walls.
"It's General Vincent and General Charles!"
"They…"
"They're dead!"
For a brief moment, everyone's expression drastically changed.
Those two Generals were Venerate rank experts! They have made countless contributions to the Evans Kingdom and showcased their outstanding battle accomplishments. But now they have both died, and died in an extremely miserable fashion. Their entire bodies were smashed to pulp, and the devilish flames latched onto them were still devouring their blood essence.
In just a short moment…
Their flesh had disappeared, leaving only a blackened skeleton. Even their souls weren't spared!
"This is too cruel."
"I can't hold back anymore! I'm going to rush out and rip them into pieces!"
"Prince Consort! We should fight with them head-on!"
"Count me in! General Vincent and General Charles are like two guardian gods to our kingdom. If it weren't for their deterrence, I'm afraid the Evans Kingdom would already have been lost in the flames of war. We cannot let them sacrifice their lives in vain!"
Anger!
Incomparable rage!
At this moment, no one here felt fear from the deaths of the two Generals, but their rage was ignited.
Maxwell's mind tightened. Even though those two had looked down on him previously, they had still lost their lives for their country. Just this point alone deserved Maxwell's full admiration. He made a thought and immediately activated the War Leader System.
A bright light that only Maxwell could see shot out.
The light had enshrouded every single martial artist on top of the city walls.
At this moment, a golden ring of light floated above their heads. The light was increasing their mental energy and their fighting will!
They didn't sense the light; they only felt their will to fight had grown even firmer.
Also at this moment…
Maxwell sent a voice transmission over to Blindman Dale and asked: "How's the preparation going?"
Blindman Dale was incomparably excited as he replied: "Dragon head, you are simply too awesome! My blood started boiling when I heard the song. It's just too powerful! I just finished playing it once and felt like killing my way out of the city gates. I had a feeling that I was capable of ripping Devil Monarch Yuri into tiny little pieces!"
Maxwell really liked the song Never Say Never.
Especially during a siege, the song could strengthen one's resolve to fight and enhance one's combat effectiveness.
The most important point was the group's cohesiveness!
It will become very strong!
Everyone's heart will be tied together.
Maxwell looked off into the distance and noticed the remaining light being devoured by the devilish flames. His mind turned grim as he clenched his fists. He then said to himself: "It's time for me to make an appearance!"
