Chapter 163: Chapter 158: Revealing the Trump Card, the Shadow Claw Deploys

Elves were, for the most part, beautiful women and handsome men.

And the Moon Elves’ ace cavalry, the Shadow Claw, was no exception.

The female Moon Elves riding black panthers had graceful figures,

with their iconic pointed ears peeking through their long, silver hair.

Armor forged with Mithril protected their vital areas.

Although the black panthers ridden by the female Moon Elves were slightly smaller than the Shadow Tigers ridden by the males,

their explosive power was greater,

making them better suited for short bursts of speed!

Therefore, upon receiving the order from the Moon Elf Prince Sukaman,

this time, the Moon Elf cavalry would charge out in a formation with the female cavalry at the front and the male cavalry at the back!

And while the Moon Elves’ ace cavalry was preparing,

the Elf Corps outside the Moon Elf Main City had already begun their assault.

Although they could see that the Moon Elf Main City had already activated its Magic Defense Array,

the attacking Elf Corps was in no hurry.

Under the command of Elf Legion Commander Feiyana,

they had disassembled their Incendiary Bullets and smeared the solidified liquid directly onto the Stone Bombs.

Once this preparation was complete,

the Magic Stone-Throwing Cannons, etched with numerous Magic Runes, began to operate!

When a hundred Magic Stone-Throwing Cannons simultaneously launched a massive volley of special stones,

the scene was apocalyptic, a sky-blotting, world-destroying sight!

At a rate of one round every five seconds,

in the span of just twenty seconds,

four hundred stones, engraved with Anti-Magic Runes and set ablaze by high-speed friction with the air, soared like a falling meteor shower. They traced beautiful parabolas through the sky before striking the Defense Magic Array that covered the entire wall of the opposing Moon Elf Main City!

To Zhang Yi’s Elf Corps, this was a beautiful sight.

But for the defending Moon Elves on the other side,

there were no beautiful sights or perfect parabolas.

All they heard was the shriek of the Stone Bombs tearing through the air,

a massive meteor shower ripping across the sky,

bent on taking their lives!

"BOOOOOOM—!!!"

A deafening sound echoed in the ears of the Moon Elves in their Main City and the Elf Corps outside.

The stones, engraved with Anti-Magic Runes, slammed violently into the Defense Magic Array while still burning!

The massive Defense Magic Array was struck by the stones engraved with Anti-Magic Runes.

With each impact, the point of contact on the defense flickered between light and darkness!

And after the impact,

the incendiary slime that had been crudely stuck to the stones slid down onto the massive Magic Defense Array, burning continuously.

Although the burning flames themselves made little sound,

when the Elves guarding the walls and the Moon Elves within the Elf Main City

saw the flames burning on the Magic Array that protected their entire city,

a SIZZLE, the sound of the flames igniting the Magic Defense Array, seemed to echo in their very minds! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

In the next moment,

the Moon Elves, whose confidence had just been kindled,

began to worry about how long their massive Magic Defense Array could hold!

Seeing this, the Elf Mages of the Guard Army hurriedly poured their own Magic Power into the Magic Array, supplying it with energy.

With the Elf Mages’ Magic Power flowing into the Defense Array,

the rate at which the Magic Defense Array repaired itself did indeed increase considerably.

At the same time, the Guard Army Commander roared from the top of the city wall:

"Counterattack! Counterattack with everything you’ve got!"

"We can’t just let the Elf Corps outside attack us without fighting back!"

The Magic Defense Array of the Moon Elf Main City could definitely block outside attacks

while allowing attacks from within to pass through smoothly.

So, when the Guard Army Commander gave the call to counterattack,

the Elf Archers on the walls drew their bows and loosed their arrows into the distance.

The depth of the Moon Elves’ power was not to be underestimated.

These Elf Archers drawing their bows were no ordinary elves.

They were a special unit of the Dark Elves: Shadow Snipers.

Elf Archers who had advanced to become Shadow Snipers could shoot arrows with greater range and more power than ordinary Elf Archers!

The arrows of other Elf Archers couldn’t reach the enemy Elf Corps,

but that didn’t mean the arrows of the Shadow Snipers couldn’t!

However, the small number of arrows that reached the opposing Elf Corps

caused no casualties whatsoever under the protection organized by Elf Legion Commander Feiyana.

The Guard Army Commander’s order to counterattack seemed so pale and feeble,

especially when the enemy Elf Corps’ Magic Stone-Throwing Cannons launched another attack.

"Elf Legion Commander, why haven’t the enemy launched a surprise attack yet?"

"We’ve been maintaining this low-intensity attack for nearly ten minutes."

"If they were really going to send out their cavalry corps for a sortie, they should have done it by now, right?"

At this moment, the Dwarf Leader, Copperbeard Ironhammer, who was in the same tent as Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, couldn’t help but ask as he watched the scene before him.

There were only five people in the tent.

But they represented the five most important Clans under Zhang Yi in the entire Divine Realm.

"Don’t worry!"

"Give the Moon Elves a little more time."

"Once we’ve baited out this batch of Moon Elf cavalry and worn them down,"

"the rest will happen quickly!"

"At that point, the Magic Equipment will attack with full force. We’ll aim to take down this large Magic Defense Array within ten minutes!"

"If we can force out the Moon God, even better."

"We won’t have to go looking for them!"

"If the Moon God still hasn’t appeared by then, we’ll have to work a little harder. We’ll have the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps lead us in an airborne assault, striking directly at the Moon Main City!"

"At that time, we’ll leave all the other Moon Elves to the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps."

"We just need to focus on finding the Moon God and killing them!"

"Right!"

"I like the last part of the plan. It’s simple, suits me!"

The Dwarf Leader, Copperbeard Ironhammer, couldn’t help but comment upon hearing the Elf Legion Commander’s follow-up plan.

...

As the third wave from the Magic Stone-Throwing Cannons was launched,

"Your Highness the Prince, the Shadow Claw cavalry corps is ready!"

"We can launch the sortie now!"

The guard that Moon Elf Prince Sukaman had sent out earlier now came jogging back.

"Good!"

A pleased expression appeared on Moon Elf Prince Sukaman’s face.

"The elves on the other side have been hitting us for so long. It’s time we taught them a lesson!"

Moon Elf Prince Sukaman glanced back.

He saw the cavalry corps, assembled and ready behind the city gate.

The Elf Cavalry of the Shadow Claw had finished forming up.

The female Elf Cavalry were crouched on the backs of their black panthers, their bodies leaning forward, creating lines of both power and beauty.

The black panthers beneath them pawed restlessly with their Sharp Claws, letting out low growls from time to time.

But under the control of the Moon Elves riding them, they remained restrained.

The male Elf Cavalry, mounted on even larger Shadow Tigers, followed close behind, silently waiting for the moment to erupt into action!

The bombardment from outside paused for a moment, seemingly the interval for the next round of the Magic Stone-Throwing Cannons to be loaded.

Now!
