The war drums resounded once more, and the snake-man army retreated backward. However, they only moved back a dozen meters and then transported the Fire-Resistant Rune Plates from the trenches.
Using these shields, they erected a solid steel wall. At this time, the front of the Five Realms Fortress had already turned into a sea of fire. To prevent an enemy charge, the guards poured a large amount of Fierce Fire Oil from the walls and then ignited it. Occasionally, many logs and dry grass were thrown down from the city walls, making the flames burn even fiercer.
However, this sea of fire was halted before the Fire-resistant Plate and could not advance even half a meter further. The arrows flying through the air also found it difficult to cause effective damage. For the sake of prolonged combat, apart from those highly skilled sniper archers, the Five Realms Fortress had not launched large-scale arrow rain attacks for some time.
