Potential is an indescribable thing; only when it erupts can one realize how terrifying it can be.
Originally, the Temple of Dawn Warriors and the posthumous child warriors, who were already in an attacking state, thought this was the most brutal offense and defense.
The blood-soaked city walls had already flowed down the city ladders to the ground, and wherever one could see, there were dismembered limbs, with hardly any intact corpses.
Some people who were still alive were wailing or moaning, sometimes suddenly rising in pitch, and sometimes abruptly stopping.
In the sky, the air forces of both sides had fallen into chaotic combat, and the posthumous children were clearly at a disadvantage. However, with the support from the city walls, they managed to hold on for the time being, as human and monster corpses continuously fell from the sky, creating a waterfall composed of life made up of blood, feathers, or body parts.
Flames erupted everywhere, remnants of skills used in battle; explosions occurred frequently, and the brightness created had already surpassed the lights made from monster oil atop the mountain.
Arrows and burning stones continually swept over the city walls, as the dark magic crystal energy rampaged violently, accompanied by countless ruptured flesh and blood.
Of course, there were also the sounds of battle cries, the clashing of weapons, the crashing of energies, the screams of fear, the cries of the wounded, the shouts of death...
Everything painted Wang Cheng's city walls into a hell on earth.
Many people from Earth, many posthumous children, and many Temple of Dawn warriors began feeling fearful or even terrified at first. They had thought of fleeing, but they realized that turning around would lead to weapons striking their backs, taking their lives.
Thus, fighting became the only option.
Gradually, however, fear and dread completely vanished, replaced instead by the numbness that followed agitation and excitement.
At that moment, fighting became instinct.
So when the Temple of Dawn warriors heard the call of the radiant horn and erupted with unprecedented fighting strength, both sides were astonished at the resurgence of potential.
The intensity of the battle instantly escalated to a new level.
Outside the city, all the Temple of Dawn warriors who had not yet participated in the battle were mobilized. Even some of the combat-ready personnel from the logistics camp outside the mountain’s belly joined the siege, signaling the temple’s total offensive had truly begun.
Achieving victory in one battle was the Temple's current thought.
Undoubtedly, this idea seemed extremely ridiculous to the posthumous children and those from Cloud Summit Villa.
Indeed, the posthumous children were in chaos, as their king zun and experts were entangled or even killed by some enemies; however, Cloud Summit and the larger number of warriors from Earth maintained a good command structure. Relying on their equipment and skills, they remained unfazed and recorded significant victories.
Even the posthumous children didn't really need precise commands at this point; it was simply about one word... Fight.
Enemies appeared, and they fought back, continuing to engage in battle.
As long as they held the city walls, that was enough!
This was not wrong. Even if the Temple of Dawn had more people, they still had to scale the city walls to enter, even though there was a large gap at Ice Crystal Road. Compared to the entire city wall, that gap was still a small place, and the posthumous children had dozens of reserve teams that could continuously block it.
Expend lives? Yes, that was indeed the case, but the truth was that the Temple of Dawn could not break through.
Many posthumous children, watching the elite warriors of the Temple of Dawn charging madly outside, looked on as if witnessing the dead.
Until...
The city walls at the city gate suddenly collapsed.
That was originally the focal point of the offense and defense, where a large number of troops were amassed, and no one expected it to fall.
