Chapter 1910: End of the Papell-Ferrol War

The best (or worst, depending on which side you are) part of this dwarven weapon was that it could be used indefinitely.

The enemy could literally just roll out randomly prepared elementalist rocks from the array. Even normal rocks would do, but the penetration effect would be much less. The magic of each projectile was granted by the dwarven trebuchet itself.

It was also why half of the Ferrol powerhouses went to disable it, with most of the remaining minimizing the damage of the projectiles.

The battle around the trebuchet was quite bloody, and several appendages from both sides had already been obliterated.

Explosion of techniques and elements resounded in that area, and early on, blood was already spilling. The place was littered with collateral damage, and people (except slaves) below level 20 didn’t dare help out, just heading towards the wall.

Going against the sentries and the people guarding the walls was far safer than being there!

Tibay, the Ferrol General, summoned large earth spikes, targeting both his enemy (his team roughly battles an enemy powerhouse each) and attempting to at least imbalance the trebuchet.

Tibay was beyond the level cap, so he could only target those like him, specifically, or the weapon itself.

Sadly, while the enemy was hit and gasping, the trebuchet was still guarded by a dedicated powerhouse, neutralising its attack before it could reach the dwarven weapon.

Bang!

Bang!

It didn’t look like their side was winning in that area, and that battle would continue even until the enemy’s tens of thousands of fighters reached the walls and went through the breaches.

This wasn’t the end, they knew. Level 3 town’s populations could reach several hundred thousand, if not a million, already.

And since the war required the attacking territory to have a portion of the population go through the array, then it was expected that the enemy still had hundreds of thousands to mobilize. And indeed, the enemies were still continuously pouring out of the arrays.

The enemies continued to push on, defending against the shower of arrows with their equipment. Even slaves were fully equipped, just as they should.

Towns wouldn’t reach their levels because they lacked resources, after all.

There were also scores of level 40 and peak level 30s appearing, adding pressure to those in the trebuchet area.

Tibay and the rest had no choice but to run back; otherwise, they’d be mobbed. With enough strength and stamina, this was no problem because they were powerhouses. But if given enough time, they could succumb once they really got surrounded. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Tibay’s team immediately rushed back. Unexpectedly, while running, Tibay turned around, taking in several attacks directly at him.

Perhaps he was protected by superior equipment (and perhaps a few protective charms bought from Alterra), he was minimally injured and had the time to send out a final attack, which took advantage of the enemy’s momentary overconfidence because their side was being pushed back.

This time, he really timed it well.

He pushed one of the troublesome enemies using an earth spike, smacking right in front of the projectile. This caused the projectile—which was about to shoot—to get imbalanced and drop right at the location.

BOOM!
