50,000 cavalrymen marched straight ahead. Soon, the legendary City of Life appeared in the Roth Empire’s knights’ vision.

However, the scene of surrendering with white flags didn’t appear as they expected. Under the dome-shaped barrier that covered the city were tens of thousands of neatly arranged and alert elven soldiers.

However, apart from the 5,000 neatly armored elven garrison troops in the center, the elves on its flanks and in the rear had messy equipment. Some even simply came in casual clothes and with magic wands.

However, these seemingly messy squads had a hard to ignore cohesion. They actually shocked the fully armored and uniform Roth Empire’s cavalry.

“Didn’t they say the City of Life only had 5,000 garrison troops? Where did all these people come from?” Iman was also shocked to see the extra 30,000 elves who suddenly appeared.

The elves weren’t a weak race. The Roth Empire only managed to catch them unawares. Iman had to take down the City of Life before the garrison troops stationed in the south returned, so this battle could be considered meaningful.

Meanwhile, what he was the most worried about was Helena returning to the Wind Forest. By then, the state of disunity would end, and he would have to consider how to evacuate the Roth Empire’s cavalry from the Wind Forest.

He had seen the elves frantically escaping when they approached. He thought the City of Life would also be in a panic with no defenses, and he could take down the city easily.

However, the current situation also puzzled him. This was obviously an army that was put together at the last minute. Many of the fighters didn’t even have proper armor. Even if they had it, it looked like an antique from 100 years ago. It didn’t fit the wearers at all.

However, this army that was put together at the last minute in assorted clothes gave people a deadly feeling when they stood together in order.

Iman gave the order to halt. The two armies were in confrontation 1,000 meters apart.

“They are just a motley crowd. General, allow me to take 10,000 men with me, and I will take this City of Life down.” A lieutenant general came forward with the offer.

The other soldiers had a sneer too when they saw these elves’ attire. The well-equipped empire’s cavalry could easily crush this motley crew that was assembled at the last minute.

“General, let’s attack. The scouts have reported that the 10,000 soldiers of the advance force of the elven troops stationed in the south will reach the City of Life in two hours. We don’t have time left,” another officer said to Iman too.

Iman nodded after hearing that. He ordered, “Katur will lead 10,000 heavy cavalrymen and elite magic casters as the advance force. The rest will enter the city after them. We will kill all the elves, destroy the City of Life, and burn the Tree of Life!”

“Yes!” everyone answered solemnly and began deploying their troops.

There was a 100-meter-wide boulevard at the City of Life’s main gate. It was very suitable for the cavalry to make a charge.

The city didn’t have high walls. It only had a wall of trees that was about a man tall. The heavy cavalry in armor could easily bulldoze through that so-called city wall.

The champagne-gold photomask could be vaguely seen. It looked as thin as a bubble, and could shatter when lightly touched.

On this side, Patton, who was standing on a high platform, was also deploying troops. They were setting up a defensive position. Looking at the veterans below, there was a smile on his elderly face. It was as if they had returned to that warring era. It was also this group of people who used their lives to chase the invaders out of the Wind Forest.

Very quickly, Katur led 10,000 heavy cavalrymen, and charged towards the City of Life under the cover of dozens of magic casters.

At the very front of the troops were 10 heavily armored Bloodthirsty Rhinos.

The Bloodthirsty Rhino was a 5th-tier magic beast. It was manic and bloodthirsty, and had a terrifying ramming force.

An adult Bloodthirsty Rhino could bulldoze a thick city wall easily. Their thick skin coupled with heavy armor made them a meat crusher on battlefields. They were great for invasion.

Iman let out these 10 weapons right away to make sure that Katur could quickly rip open a tear in the City of Life’s line of defense, and then take down this city.

The ground started to tremble crazily when the terrifying three-meter-tall and 10-odd meters long beasts began running. The piercing animal roars made one’s eardrums ache.

The 10,000 heavily armored cavalrymen followed right after the Bloodthirsty Rhinos, and they rushed towards the City of Life like a black flood of steel.

“Release!”

The commander gave the order, and thousands of arrows that were engulfed in all kinds of light flew towards those heavily armored cavalrymen.

The elves were the sons of nature, and had a natural affinity for magic. Moreover, surviving in nature gave them great archery skills.

The arrows that were enhanced with magic were more powerful and lethal.

Right then, magical chanting could be heard coming from behind the cavalry. A 10th-tier magic caster and dozens of magic casters summoned a giant magic shield together. The shield hovered over the cavalry.

“Heavenly Fire! Fall!”

At the same time, over at the elves’ side, a 10th-tier magic caster standing at the back yelled coldly. The sky changed color, and gigantic red meteors began to fall from the sky towards that cavalry.

Intense magical chanting rang from the elves’ side, and all the elements between heavens and earth turned disorderly instantly.

Fireballs, icicles, storms, earth spikes… All kinds of magic started to crash towards those cavalrists that were charging over.

“Caution!” The Roth Empire’s magic casters went white when they saw the magic that came crashing towards them.

A gigantic meteor crashed down onto that shield with a wide coverage, dragging a red tail behind it. The shield popped like a bubble.

Boom!

The meteor landed, making a loud boom.

Flames and gravel exploded outwards, and swallowed all the knights within dozens of meters. The charging formation was instantly shattered.

The meteor smashed the shield; hence, the magically enhanced arrows landed without any obstruction.

The razor-sharp arrows rained on those heavily armored cavalrymen. Apart from the tough breastplates that couldn’t be penetrated, the arrows landed everywhere.

Hundreds of knights fell off their horses just after one salvo.

After the rain of arrows came the dense magical storms.

Vines and mud walls suddenly appeared from the ground, and tripped a big group of knights.

Thousands of magic spells of different tiers rained down together. The heavily armored cavalrymen couldn’t withstand the baptism of magic, even though they were extremely physically resistant.

Meanwhile, the 10 Bloodthirsty Rhinos suddenly fell into a huge ditch when they were about 100 meters away from the magical barrier. Soil and rocks quickly filled that ditch. The ground only shook for a moment before it became quiet.

“Retreat! Retreat now!” Iman glared at the cavalry that was being bombarded by magic with bloodshot eyes.

The horn for retreat sounded, but only the 10-odd magic casters at the rear managed to retreat. None of the knights could turn their horses back around in time…
