Chapter 1501 Chapter 1501. Pin the Enemies in the Middle

Serpent Boss and his guild members disengaged from Ronald's force once he received David's message that the disaster item had been activated. David rendezvoused with him and they made their way to the palace gate in stealth. They hid at the side while they watched the demon horde clash with the zombie army.

David sent messages to Jeanny, telling her about what was happening outside the gate. When Boron's army retreated to the siege weapons, David gave Jeanny the signal.

Jeanny and the others had been preparing behind the gate. Thelgrun had regained his fighting spirit after Jeanny's admonishment. This spirit in turn roused the fire within his soldiers, burning their hearts with a violent flame to obliterate the rebels and the invaders who had intruded into their homes.

After they rushed out of the opened gate. The admiral by Thelgrun's side, Helga Flameforge, delivered the first strike by casting Hail of Fire. It was a seven-rune spell that rained fire onto a large area. She followed up with Flame Wrath. Multiple fireballs flew toward Boron's army which was still surprised by the sudden charge.

Since Boron's army had retreated, they and Master's zombie army were inside a narrow zone with the siege weapons in the middle. They didn't have much space to maneuver around, effectively reducing their ability to organize formations.

With them being pinned from two sides by the demon horde and Thelgrun's force, Boron couldn't effectively protect the siege weapons. Stray ranged attacks hit those weapons on occasion. Even the players who were controlling the guild army platforms received attacks from time to time. Their guild mates had to come to their defense to keep them alive.

Boron didn't back down. His target was already in front of him. All he had to do was kill his brother. The world system would then give Palgrost's throne to the next successor, which was him.

"Everyone, attack…! Slay Thelgrun…!!" Boron shouted.

"You good-for-nothing brother! I will have your hides for this!!" Thelgrun shouted back. He charged with his soldiers on the front line. His hammer was coated with a light enchantment that made it glow brightly. Each hit from his hammer resulted in a powerful blast that blew everyone in the vicinity away.

"Look out!" Thelgrun heard a warning. A chain lightning spell suddenly hit something near him. A dwarf appeared then.

The dwarf was Odir Goldhoarder, Palgrost's admiral who supported Boron. He had used Vanish to become invisible and was about to ambush Thelgrun. He didn't expect someone to know his position and dispel his invisibility.

That someone was Grace. Even though Odir was out of the range of her mana sense, her mana perception talent allowed her to see Odir's invisible self.

Another person also had the same ability, Paytowi, who was floating above Grace in his brave techno suit. His visor was able to perceive invisible objects. This same visor fired a thick beam, hitting Odir and knocking him away from Thelgrun. Helga immediately came to Thelgrun's side to protect him. She cast spells at Odir to keep him away.

"You meddling wench, you will pay me back for the shame you've cost me!" Grace heard a curse. She turned and saw a familiar humanoid crocodile come charging. This croc man was Jobreak in his beast form, the warden who guarded Dograr whom Grace saved from Khurn Valdur fort.

He slammed the ground as he advanced, causing tiny earthquakes that unbalanced everyone nearby.

These earthquakes didn't affect Paytowin who flew above. Grace also used Angelic Possession and flew up. She clashed with Jobreak from the air while Paytowin used Brave Rifle to support her. Brave King also barged in and helped Grace fight Jobreak.

Their companions, Mihos and Oswald, charged with Thelgrun's army and broke through one side of the enemy's defensive line. They arrived at one of the siege weapons and proceeded to dish out punishment on the mechanical weapon.

Mihos was level 70 now. He learned a new skill, Celestial Weapon. When he used this skill, the greatsword in his hands transformed into an even larger sword. This oversized sword made of light gave him incredible reach. Every slash also added additional light damage and reduced the defense of those it hit.

With the zombie army taking on the demonic horde, they couldn't aid Boron's army. Without the zombie army, Boron's troops were fewer than Thelgrun. They were also caught in a disadvantageous position. Their ranks continued to fall rapidly.

Sizhad, who was barking orders at his guild members, looked at the situation with gritted teeth.

"Such incompetence!" He cursed.

Several dwarven players came charging. They were targeting the players who were controlling the guild armies. If they could take out those players, the guild armies would vanish. The only thing Boron's side had the advantage of was the guild armies. The guilds on Thelgrun's side had already used their guild armies during the choke points battle, so no guild armies were with Thelgrun's force.

Sizhad came forward and put himself in front of the charging players. He was a level 72 gunner.

When the players, who had melee classes, saw this gunner block their way. They sneered and prepared to teach him his place. They swung their melee weapons at this dwarven gunner, only to receive a bullet in their faces. When they lost their vision, they found their bodies getting tossed into the ground. When their visions returned, a dagger and more bullets greeted them.

Sizhad sensed a killing intent from the side. He moved away just as a bullet flew past.

"General Sizhad… We meet again," Serpent Boss said. He and his guild members had come out of hiding and targeted the players who controlled the guild armies.

"You…," Sizhad's eyes narrowed. He had crossed guns with Serpent Boss in the past. He knew this man was not an easy opponent. "You might be a legendary soldier in this era, but I'm the descendant of the greatest legendary soldier of all time!"

Serpent Boss spat. "You delusional fool! If you learned your history well, you will know that General Amon never had a descendant. He purposefully made himself sterile so he had no one to lose. You are nothing but a common thug, and I will put you where you belong!"
