The gates of Moon Shadow City are forged from a magic metal called Golden Scale Celestial Iron, incredibly heavy and nigh impossible to open or close by human power.

The gates are protected by special magic set by Beastman Priests; only those with a special key can control their opening and closing.

Once the gates are closed, unless someone inside the city uses the key to open them, they are nearly impregnable.

At least, Ackman believes this, and it's one reason why he is confident in holding the defense until reinforcements arrive.

Ackman knows that even using a magic-guided cannon to bombard the gates would take several days to knock them down.

And he has not yet seen the enemy use such means.

Ackman assumes the enemy likely does not possess things like magic-guided cannons, otherwise, they would have already used them; otherwise, so many people would not have died.

However, he is completely unaware of the cruelty and indifference of the Wizards; the opponents indeed have such things but considered it not worth deploying after calculating the value.

A slender, yet incredibly agile and swift plant creature rushed to the wall.

This was a Sunflower Person from the Plant Elf World, his body resembling a sunflower, particularly small.

He held a small shield, quickly deflecting a rain of arrows.

After rushing to the wall, the Sunflower Person took out a transparent cube crystal and stuck it on the gates, then turned to flee.

Just as he turned to run, the high explosive energy bomb he had placed was detonated under the spiritual power manipulation of a distant Wizard.

The immense energy swept the surroundings, and the Sunflower Person, seeming experienced, curled up his body, wrapping himself in green leaves and forming a ball.

He was blown far away by the formidable energy wave, rolling across the distance like wind-borne tumbleweed.

After stopping, the Sunflower Person unfurled his body, coughed up blood, with green liquid containing tiny bits of plant tissue—that was his internal organs.

"Lucky to have survived," the Sunflower Person felt immensely grateful at that moment.

He knew that as soon as he placed the explosive on the gates, it would be detonated immediately.

The Wizards wouldn't care about their fate; for them, detonating immediately was the most rational choice, avoiding unforeseen changes.

As for a tiny slave creature, no one cared about its life or death.

Below the walls, the indestructible gates forged from Golden Scale Celestial Iron at that moment actually showed a small crater.

Compared to the enormous gates, this crater was tiny but enough to shock and terrify the Beastmen on the walls.

They couldn't imagine what kind of bomb could so easily create such a mark on the gates.

For now, it seemed just a small crater, insignificant.

But if these slave creatures continued bombarding the gates, it wouldn't be long before the gates crumbled, leaving Moon Shadow City's defenses practically useless.

"Stop anyone trying to approach the gates!" Ackman shouted loudly on the walls.

The surrounding Beastmen also realized the severity of the situation, concentrating their firepower on the slave creatures attempting to sprint to the gates.

Dog-man Reed, riding on a Kodo Beast, had been observing the situation ahead.

When the timing seemed right, he said to a nearby Batmen, "Deploy your men."

Batmen are a type of slave creature standing only about 1.4 meters tall; small in stature but extremely fast in flight and skilled in aerial combat.

A moment later, hundreds of Batmen flew overhead the Slave Legion, wearing light armor and carrying various weapons as they flew toward the walls.

The Batmen's numbers were not many, which was why they were not deployed initially.

Without knowing what anti-air measures the opponents might have, sending out the Batmen recklessly could easily result in high casualties.

This kind of preferential treatment for Batmen was earned through battle after battle, leading to strategic considerations for their casualties.

With the Batmen appearing, even though their numbers were few, they immediately created tremendous pressure for the Beastmen on the walls.

Batmen can unleash a highly destructive sonic wave, capable of directly wrecking the enemy's brain tissue or heart, causing instant death.

Whenever a Batmen flew over the wall, one Beastman would bleed from seven orifices and die instantly, tumbling from the wall.

Arrows and artillery were immediately targeted at the Batmen, but the Beastmen couldn't keep pace with the Batmen's speed, struggling to even track their flight path, let alone carry out precise shooting.

With the arrival of the Batmen, pressure on slave creatures below the walls suddenly diminished, allowing multiple slave creatures to charge towards the gates in an instant.

After several violent explosions, the entire wall shook and trembled.

Accompanied by the deaths of those slave creatures, several pits of varying sizes appeared on the gates.

At that moment, Ackman could only shout desperately, continually directing the defenses on the walls while constantly mobilizing Beaste forces from behind to fill the gaps in the wall's defenses.

A Batmen seemed to have recognized Ackman's position as commander, instantly flying over and releasing a sonic wave aimed at Ackman's head, intending to destroy the Beastman's brain.

However, while Ackman appeared to be commanding those around him, he was in fact always monitoring the activities of every Batmen in the sky.

Pretending not to know, as the Batmen lowered its elevation to the closest, Ackman's longsword suddenly shot out.

The sword carried Ackman's own energy, incredibly swift, so swift that even for the fast-reacting creatures like Batmen, they couldn't respond.

After all, Ackman was a level-one life, while the attacking Batmen had only super-ranked magical beast strength.

The longsword, turning into a white light, instantly pierced through the Batmen's head, the violent energy within exploding its head entirely.

The Batmen's headless body immediately plummeted, accompanied by a shower of blood.

With a cold snort, Ackman waved and retrieved the longsword.

Only a special observation method could see Ackman using a special energy to adhere the sword, with a long invisible energy rope in between.

Though the sword seemed to fly out, it was actually always under Ackman's control.

The fall of this Batmen quickly attracted the attention of the other Batmen, who transmitted the information through sonic waves and all drifted away from Ackman.

For them, their task was merely to harass the Beastmen on the wall; it's best to avoid courting death by provoking Ackman, this level-one life.
