Chapter 1545: Wall

Sivan looked at his soldiers and frowned.

He noticed that at the front line the soldiers are falling down one by one abruptly and soon the same scenario is happening in various parts of the group.

Simply put the advance of the mercenaries stopped within the next twenty minutes as almost every one of them started noticing the white crystals forming out of them.

Sivan looked at this through the telescope and noticed the presence of white crystals. His heart turned cold. 

He has seen the white crystal before, obviously. The crystal that dealt a huge blow to some of his earth armored guards in the start. The people who are infected by that are currently still quarantined and from what he heard. Every one of them was completely covered with white crystal.

Which means they are dead. The healers and researchers who tried to break the crystal and some that even succeeded in doing so also turned into crystals while screaming like they were burning in hell.

Sivan instantly knew that this is bad news.

But what he doesn't know is, that this is not going to end. As the mercenaries are running back to the camp to get the medical help they needed, the while crystal propagation has only increased.

They are falling down before they reached the camp and they are turning into a large block of white crystal right there on the ground.

In the next ten minutes, there is a large line of large white crystals in front of the camp and they are slowly expanding towards the camp as well as away from the camp.

Not only new blocks are forming every second from the mercenaries' bodies, but the existing ones are also taking in the bodies of the immobilized undead creatures that fell on the ground from previous rounds of battle. Even though they are not as prone to the crystal symbiote as living beings when their bone is exposed it is easy for the symbiote to deal with it.

Everyone from the Gaja clan and Mari clan was surprised. 

All the parties at the wall of the city and the edge of the camp are looking at the crystal wall that is growing out.

This wall stopped the march of the mercenaries, they cannot move forward and the mercenaries that are at the frontline and are trying to run back were also stuck.

They could only stand there and try to save themselves as the golems and undead creatures are catching up to them to kill them.

As they engaged and slowly became exhausted with the neverending swarm of the golems, they are being added to the crystal wall as an additional resource to increase the width and the length of the wall.

Before long the wall is already 12 feet long. Most of the crystal blocks grew enough to be close and almost merged together into one big block.

After that happened, as if they were previously ordered, the undead creatures backed off from the wall and stood behind the golems in an orderly manner.

More undead creatures from the city joined them in the field as they also stood in perfect order.

The golems moved forward and started attacking the white crystal. 

They are not bombarding it though. They are attacking specific points of the wall constantly and started chipping the white crystal fragments. They merged those small fragments into the soil of their body while making the wall vulnerable.

Sivan obviously doesn't know what is happening on the other side. From his vantage point, he can only see the undead creatures lining up and when he focused on the city, he saw the four Peak stage cultivators standing on different spots of the wall with their arms crossed.

They are ready to battle.

He looked at the sky that slowly turned dark. It is night.

For some reason, he felt exhausted and wanted to sleep for a while. He doesn't know why, but he just wanted to lay down on the soft bed and sleep in comfort.

He felt overwhelmed by all of this.

But he cannot just go and sleep in the middle of a war.

He took a deep breath and called for his subordinates.

"Use the remaining equipment. The massive animal puppets, Arrow towers, Spear launchers. Just use them all and try to destroy the undead creatures behind the wall along with it.

Send the glider squads to place some of the arrow towers and spear launchers near the city in some discreet spots. They will temporarily operate them to distract the city from the main field to defend themselves.

I hope that would be enough time for you guys here to destroy the undead and this wall.

Also, make sure that nobody ever gets infected by that weird white crystal. Don't touch it."

"Yes, Sir."

The orders were delivered and everyone made a move. The glider squads moved with some spatial rings as they found some discreet spots around the city.

They went there and started assembling the equipment.

Meanwhile, the process at the camp entrance is much simpler.

There are eight towers that are brought out and they are all placed in different directions. There is a large vertical groove on the front surface of the tower with holes in the middle.

The operator who is inside the tower started operating it. With just one thought, all the holes are filled with arrows, and with another thought, they were all shot at the wall.

Most of the arrows went past that crystal wall and are shot at the undead creatures.

But it doesn't matter as the undead are also the targets.

All eight of the towers constantly shot arrows and each tower has different elemental energy assisting them.

At the same time, some animal puppets walked out of the camp. They are all in different shapes, but they are massive. They are almost twenty feet tall each. They are also pumped with various elemental energies and each puppet needed at least three to four operators to fully function.

They are throwing energy attacks at the undead.

Meanwhile, the assembly process is completed at the gliders' end and they activated the arrow towers. Apart from that, there are some spear launchers that looked like turrets. But instead of missiles, they are launching six spears at the same time.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Massive explosive sounds started at various spots of the city and the city guards were stunned. But they recovered and started to return fire with the spear cannons.

They couldn't aim properly as they cannot pinpoint the location though. But they just bombarded the area which didn't help that much.

The exchange of volleys began.

The whole battlefield once again changed its form.

First the battlefield was slow and sluggish with very few movements. All that were present are the golems and undead creatures.

Now, it became so dynamic. Both sides are slowly stopping the holding back and hiding their hands.

They are just baring their fangs at each other.

Time passed as Sam came out of the lab with a smile on his face.

His small project is successful and when he looked at the situation on the battlefield, it is just like he expected. The crystal dome is still undergoing repair and they have to go with the normal secondary defensive formations inside which are barely doing anything to the arrows and the spears coming at them.

He looked at the arrow towers and animal puppets trying to destroy the wall and the undead creatures.

He observed the golems that are solely focused on attacking different spots of the wall and are absorbing the white crystal fragments.

"Well, this seems to be enough. The wall is ready and the golems are in position. We will proceed with the rest."

He spoke in a communication token and the operators in the soul tower made their move.

The lava worms that are supposed to underground suddenly come up to the surface while the undead creatures marched backward a bit.

Within the space between the undead creatures and the wall, the lava worms emerged. The earth and fire elemental energy gathered at the head of the worm as they aimed it at the golems that are standing in a formation right behind the wall.

Sivan frowned and ordered the defense of the camp.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

All of the Lava worms released their final discharge and targeted the golems directly. The golems that turned into cannonballs blasted through the wall.

The wall broke into millions of tiny pieces and the impact of the explosion threw those fragments along with the golems themselves.

It is like a large storm that hit the camp. The tents started blowing up and the white shards of the crystal along with the cannonballs mixed with soil and dust clouded the whole camp.

Sivan widened his eyes in horror as he took out a special artifact that created a large energy barrier around him.

Everyone activated their defensive measures within the camp and tried their best to save themselves from the impact.
