They are not from the Earth Core race; their night combat ability is even more formidable than during the day.

But to hold onto the gains, we must increase the intensity of the attack and dispatch more troops to join the battle.

If we delay for a night, the defensive forces might repair the City Defense Magic Array and seal the breach.

In order to tear open a gap in the enemy's city walls, both sides have been battling fiercely here for seven days.

The Stone People Army has incurred a loss of nearly twenty thousand soldiers to achieve the current results.

If we ceasefire now, another siege battle will have to occur tomorrow, which will entail significant losses.

"Pass the order, let the Sixteen Legion, Seventeen Legion, Twenty-four Legion, and Twenty-seven Legion all join the battle. We must capture the enemy's outer city tonight!"

The Stone People Commander decisively ordered.

Suffering some losses in the force, the Stone People Kingdom can bear, but time loss is something no one can afford.

The enemy reinforcements are on the way; if we don't speed up the siege, it will be even harder to fight later.

Looking at the local battlefield, this is just the contention of Kashgar Pass; from a wider perspective, it is a race for destiny.

Whoever can defeat the enemy army faster and provide support to allies will have a greater chance of victory for their side.

The Anti-Human Alliance was already lacking desperately in cooperation efficiency, thus demanding more on time.

Capturing Kashgar Pass early and tearing through the enemy's defense line to advance into the hinterland of the Black Forest Kingdom is crucial for the decisive battle on the Central Continent.

With the addition of four fresh legions, the already prevailing Stone People Army gained an increasingly obvious advantage on the battlefield.

A large number of troops rushed into the city through the breach, causing the defensive army to retreat step by step; victory was within their grasp.

...

On the inner city tower, Marquis Simon had been pacing the city wall for quite some time, overseeing the battlefield.

"How many enemy troops have entered the city?"

The net has been cast, and it is time to harvest.

Between the inner and outer cities, Marquis Simon personally measured with his men to ensure all areas were within the range of the Magic Crystal Cannon.

The Magic Crystal Cannons, originally placed in the outer city, have now been withdrawn to the inner city and redeployed on the city walls.

If not for the cover of night, the enemy would have probably noticed something was wrong by now.

In a normal situation, if the city wall fell, there wouldn't be time to relocate the Magic Crystal Cannons!

The defensive soldiers could only destroy the Magic Crystal Cannons before evacuating, preventing these sharp weapons from falling into enemy hands.

"Approximately seventy to eighty thousand!"

Count Ivor smoothly replied.

Upon hearing this number, Marquis Simon's brow furrowed slightly.

It was clear that the number of enemy troops did not meet his expectations.

"Pass down the order, fire the flares.

Order the Magic Crystal Cannon units to implement full-scale fire coverage immediately, aiming to severely damage the enemy troops that have entered the city.

Notify all units to prepare for counterattack!"

Even if it's not as expected, the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

It's the first time for Marquis Simon to employ a newly learned tactic, making him very nervous.

It was stolen learning, lacking systematic education. Some forbidden spell points he was not familiar with.

The anxiety didn't last long; the flares lit up the city like daylight, and the roaring sound of the Magic Crystal Cannons eased his inner anxiety.

Looking along the area of fire coverage, the original buildings, along with the enemy soldiers, were sent flying into the air.

A round of attacks cleared a zone, just like a hardworking scavenger sweeping away filth in the city.

The sudden change directly stunned the Stone People Race.

Where was this a Magic Crystal Cannon? It was clearly a repeated forbidden spell casting.

Realizing this, the Stone People Race soldiers inside the city frantically fled outside, causing countless trampling in an instant.

However, the more they tried to run, the faster they died.

The defensive forces quickly adjusted their shooting angles, focusing their attacks on the areas leading out of the city.

Except for a few lucky ones, most Stone People Race soldiers staged a scene of throwing themselves into the fray.

The change occurring inside the city was quickly reported to Duke Lev Dreyan, commander of the Stone People Race.

"Darn it!"

After swearing angrily, Duke Lev Dreyan awkwardly realized that there was nothing more he could do now.

Sending more troops would only serve to bolster the enemy's achievements.

Ordering the artillery to counterattack, whether it could hit the enemy's inner city was unknown, but his own troops within the city would surely be hit.

To launch an effective counterattack, it's necessary to push the Magic Crystal Cannons inside the city walls for effective targeting.

If done, the troops inside the city trying to retreat would be blocked by their own Magic Crystal Cannons.

"Quick, pass the order; let all troops tightly guard their camps and beware of enemy counterattack!"

Amidst panic, rich combat experience still played its role.

Realizing the enemy might counterattack, Duke Lev Dreyan decisively issued the order.

Just as he expected, after the artillery attack, the enemy's counterattack horn sounded.

With morale and spirit collapsing, the remaining Stone People Race soldiers inside the city were soon met with disaster.

The victorious Human Race Defensive Army did not stop their advance and continued to counterattack the Stone People Army outside the city.

If not for Duke Lev Dreyan's timely orders enabling the camped troops to prepare in advance and preventing panicked soldiers from entering the camp, it might have been another major defeat.

Blocking the enemy's counterattack, Duke Lev Dreyan's face showed no trace of blood.
