But the opposing side has used some unknown means, even though our forces have covered them with powerful magic firepower, yet their Absolute Defense Barrier remains unyielding.

In other words, even as our siege force gradually halts its decline, the enemy's battle strength hasn't been diminished, placing both sides in a stalemate where no one can overpower the other for the time being.

This undoubtedly means that until our siege forces break through their Absolute Defense Barrier and eliminate their living forces, Ice Stone City must hold back this Undead Army; otherwise, our forces will face a catastrophic defeat with no chance of recovery.

At that time, not only will the Ancient Mine be lost, but if the enemy pushes further, not only will our allies, whose vitality hasn't recovered, be endangered, the Human Domain will also be completely exposed under the enemy's iron hooves, with unimaginable consequences.

"Therefore, under any circumstances, I must hold them off, because I have nowhere to retreat."

Leo Ray's gaze became increasingly determined, but sweat continued to drip from his forehead.

Facing over 50 Tier 3 Undead Legions and such violent Magic Cannon fire, even dozens of Tier 6 experts would likely be instantly obliterated; it's completely overwhelming, leaving one at a loss on how to respond.

It's no exaggeration to say that since the Advent, he hasn't faced such a desperate situation on the battlefield.

"Holy Light Mist!"

With Ruth's cold shout, a dazzling golden brilliance burst forth instantly, dispersing the black smoke impairing our vision, and the stench on the walls vanished as well.

But that's about it; amidst the golden luminescence, although the view cleared considerably, the enemy's Magic Cannon power remained unchanged, still causing the earth to quake violently.

It wasn't over yet; below the walls, at least 30 Undead Legions were launching a massive assault, attempting to encircle our city, while another 20 Undead Legions were advancing, almost within reach of us.

Seeing this spectacle, Leo Ray took a deep breath.

The enemy's firepower continued to increase, while our obviously inferior Magic Cannon fire became increasingly weakened, and morale on the walls kept dropping.

No wonder, despite using Holy and Light Magic Cannons to counter the enemy, we couldn't affect them at all, and our own Absolute Defense Barrier grew more dim; the power gap speaks for itself.

The enemy's relentless bombardment with Dark Magic Cannons shattered the light of victory in our soldiers' hearts, until everything fell into endless darkness.

On the expansive Ice Stone City Wall like a square, the scent of despair quietly spread.

Not only was Leo Ray sweating profusely, but the surrounding hoarse-voiced commanding officers appeared similarly strained, including the Light Half-Elf Ruth casting spells.

"Priests and Magicians of the Human Clan, lend me your power once more!"

With Ruth surrounded by golden light, the magic wand in her slender hand pointing directly at the undead legion below, she coldly commanded: "Radiant Dragon Group's Fury!"

As Ruth's chant fell, a golden giant magic array unfurled, causing the entire Ice Stone City to glow with brilliant golden light.

Then, golden magic dragons bared their claws and roared from the magic array, soaring straight toward the enemy formation below, dozens of them emerging.

In an instant, the radiant light emitted from the magic dragon group illuminated heaven and earth, making everything scintillate, even weakening the darkness and death energy below.

Witnessing this astonishing scene, our soldiers on the wall couldn't help but feel revitalized, their eyes wide open.

However, before they could even rejoice, ten or more deep black death rays suddenly shot out from the enemy's formation, aiming directly at our magic dragons.

Unsurprisingly, the fierce black death rays pierced through the massive golden bodies, accurately hitting all the golden magic dragons.

The next moment, before these dozen golden magic dragons could approach the enemy formation, they whimpered and disintegrated into countless golden energy particles, quickly engulfed by the black night, disappearing without a trace.

"This..."

Seeing this, our soldiers' faces turned pale, looking at each other in dismay, each noting an unmistakable trace of panic in the other's eyes.

"Sorry, Your Majesty of the Humans, that was the strongest Group Magic I could produce."

Ruth's delicate face was pallid, her chest wrapped in a golden silk robe rising and falling, evidently nearly exhausted of mana.

Not just Ruth, even the other Light Half-Elf magicians and our priests behind her were mostly collapsed on the ground, extremely weak.

"It's not your fault, the opponent is too strong."

Leo Ray nodded to Ruth while directing the priests to take out magic medicine and quickly restore mana.

At this moment, Leo Ray could noticeably feel that after the attack was effortlessly neutralized by the enemy, our soldiers' morale had almost hit rock bottom, their faces filled with uncontrollable fear and anxiety.

No wonder, since the Human Clan had just entered the Outer Region, barely adapting to its environment and already facing nearly unbeatable opponents alone; this situation was unsurprising.

"It truly is an utter desperate situation."

Leo Ray's gaze was increasingly grave, his mind frantically searching for a chance to win, though he knew the hope was extremely slim.

Unknowingly, under the enemy's dense magic cannon fire, Ice Stone City's Absolute Defense Barrier quietly developed minute cracks.

At the same time Leo Ray was overwhelmed on the Ice Stone City Wall, other allied forces besieging the Minotaur and Troll armies in Wangying Canyon were in similar straits.

"What the hell is going on?!"

On a high mountain peak, the Winged Prince Davis' dragon face was riddled with agitation, staring at the Minotaur and Troll armies still shining with their Absolute Defense Barrier within the canyon, almost roaring: "The enemy's Absolute Defense Barrier hasn't been broken?!"

"Your Highness Prince, it indeed is quite bizarre, logically they shouldn't hold out this long."

Nal looked at the magic cannon fire and arrow rain pouring into the canyon, confusion etched on his dragon face: "I fear the enemy has used some unknown method, even our clash with their Absolute Defense Barrier couldn't shake them! Instead, ours got effortlessly shattered!"

As helplessness reached this point, Nal's erected dragon eyes glowed, blurting out: "I realize now, it must be those Witch Demons assisting them somehow!"

"That we understand very well; the problem is if we don't destroy them soon, it's us who will be ruined. Though the Emperor of the Humans is extremely resourceful, the enemy reinforcements are led by Witch Demons commanding the Undead Army, even if we muster the whole kingdom's strength, we won't be their match!"

Davis' anxious dragon face grew heavier, frowning: "But the issue is we can't even break their Absolute Defense Barrier, trapped like sitting ducks!"

Not just Winged Prince Davis, but Broy, Crisis, Fanny, Shuert at different spots in Wangying Canyon were all hoarsely commanding their troops to attack the enemy from all sides.

Yet amid the continued assaults, apart from our commanders growing more anxious, it was evidently ineffective, leaving us at a loss against the enemy.

As our commanders remained perplexed, our soldiers' morale quietly sinking, the canyon interior covered with magic cannon fire and dense arrows, the Minotaur and Troll camp presented a different scene.
