Chapter 40: The Aura of the Catwoman, a Monster Siege!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The streets of the territory were now filled with a depressing aura of death, which was in sharp contrast to the busy streets these days. Rumors of a monster siege were spread everywhere in the city, in addition, a group of nobles and rich slave owners had immediately sealed the city after leaving, causing panic among the people. If the Lord did not send a large number of people to calm the masses, it would probably be chaotic.

Some of the small vendors had already packed up and returned home. They did not want to die on their own stalls. The only thing that was still lively was the various hotels and taverns in the territory.

Because of the destruction of the other territories at that time, a large number of foreigners were trapped here, making them want to cry and feeling helpless.

Among them were nobles, travelers, adventurers, collectors, merchants, and civilians. No matter how powerful they were in their own cities, they were now only one of the victims trapped here, almost all of the slaves under the slave owners were summoned to be used as soldiers to defend the city. The nobles and merchants could put on airs normally, but now they could only curl up in the inns and taverns, they kept praying.

George was also leading all the knights who could fight to continue making arrangements.

At this time, Jessica muttered to herself, “It looks like it’s about to begin!”

The leader of the knights on the tower held a tool that looked like a telescope. When he saw the dark clouds rolling in the distance, he shuddered and shouted, “Everyone, get ready to adjust the trajectory of the bullets! Replenish the magic power!”

“Yes!”

The knights quickly adjusted the positions of the twelve city-guarding magic cannons. It was obvious that they had been trained countless times.

These city-guarding magic cannons had been bought by Webern from the Magic Union at a high price. Previously, they had only been used to deal with some nearby monsters.

“No. 1 magic power has been filled!”

“No. 2 magic power has been filled!”

“No. 3 magic power has been filled!”

“No. 4 magic power has been filled!”

“No. 5 magic power has been filled!”

..

“No. 12 mana has been filled!”

The Knight Leader nodded. He was quite satisfied with the efficiency of his knights. Then, he looked at the monster flood in the distance. His palms were covered with cold sweat. Although he had experienced several monster attacks, it was nothing compared to this. In the past, the monster riot could be easily solved with five city-guarding magic cannons. But this time…

Looking at the seemingly endless flood of monsters, the Knight Leader broke out in a cold sweat.

He even had the impulse to turn around and run.

It was only his duty as the knight leader and the expectations of his knights that allowed him to barely control his emotions.

He kept calculating the ratio of the speed of the monsters’ advance to the range of the city-guarding magic cannons in his mind. When the monsters crossed a certain threshold, the knight leader’s eyes opened wide. He stomped his feet and shouted, “Fire!”

“Hey, why do we always have to do this! It’s so annoying! I don’t know if we can win!”

Amanda half-squatted behind a tree and sighed.

“Shut your mouth,” Jessica shouted.

“Sisi, did I say something wrong?”

“How many times have I said it! Don’t call me that!” Jessica’s eyelids twitched. This was the prelude to her outburst.

“You’re not cute.”

“You!” Jessica gritted her teeth and raised her long spear to whack Amanda’s head.

However, she still couldn’t hit the extremely agile Amanda.

“Wait!”

Just as Jessica was about to continue whacking, Amanda’s ears twitched. Her expression suddenly became serious and she reached out her hand to stop Jessica’s action.

Jessica’s spear was whacking halfway, but it was forcefully stopped by Amanda. She glared fiercely at Amanda.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Amanda. They all knew that with the support of the array, Amanda could almost hear everything from a kilometer away.

Amanda pressed her ear to the ground and listened carefully for a long time. Finally, she stood up and drew a new array on the ground. She said seriously, “It’s coming.”

Her words startled George and the others slightly, then Jessica launched a magic message to alert the knights who were behind them.

Just as Jessica was sending out her magic message,

“Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!”

The sound of cannon fire, enough to shake the tower three times, rang out, and several shells, completely condensed by magic, were fired from the tower into the distance.

The magic cannonballs drew a black arc in the air.

At this moment, thousands of knights raised their heads at the same time and looked at the magic cannonballs that were like shooting stars. Their hearts were filled with bitterness.

They knew that the activation of the city defense magic cannon meant that the monsters were very close. It would not be long before the monster army would arrive here. They would also fight to the death. They absolutely could not miss out on any of the monsters.

The knights who originally belonged to the territory had long been prepared to fight to the death. The slaves who were pulled over at the last minute could only pray for the favor of the goddess of fate.

More than a dozen magic cannons hit the monster army in an instant. Hundreds of monsters were instantly blown into pieces and their flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

The power of each cannonball was close to intermediate magic power. These weak goblins, tree spirits, and other monsters would die without a complete corpse if they were brushed by the impact.

As for the stronger ghouls, Wind Magic Wolves, and black blood porcupines, they would be blown to pieces if they were hit by a single cannonball.

This time, not only did the Dark Night Catwoman summon the monster sentinels, but she also controlled some nearby monsters to follow her in battle!

Under the control of the soldiers, the twelve city-guarding magic cannons did not have any free time. The magic cannonballs were shot out one after another.

Under such indiscriminate bombardment, the monster army was not in a mess. Even if a group of monsters at the rear were killed by the city-guarding magic cannons, they would march forward without fear, stepping on the corpses, the surging tide of monsters did not slow down because of the attack of the city-guarding magic cannons.

This was very unscientific.

But now, no one had time to think about the mystery. The knights at the front line could already see the monsters running forward with their naked eyes…

At this time, Jessica used her sensing magic to sense the position of the Dark Night Catwoman behind the monsters, but she couldn’t.

“Amanda, give me a sensing array!” Jessica shouted at Amanda.

Amanda immediately drew a sensing array on the ground for Jessica. In an instant, Jessica’s sensing ability increased greatly!

“Over there!” Jessica pointed to a location in the distance!
