Chapter 188 - Shield

"Throw down your weapons! Surrender and you will not be killed!"

"Iron Bull" Gendry shouted loudly as he continued to move rapidly through the rocky corridors and halls.

Figures running wildly appeared one after another in the passage behind him.

The battle had only been going on for a quarter of an hour.

Storm's End's City Gate had fallen, and the guards inside the Castle were stunned, unable to accept reality.

The City Gate was breached?!

This is Storm's End! How could it be breached so quickly?!

Storm's End, this Fortress that had never fallen, gave the guards the most courage, and also became the biggest flaw in their will.

Now, this flaw was exposed without warning, severely striking their Souls.

"Lay down your weapons! Surrender and you will not be killed!"

More and more Royal Guard poured out from the passage behind the City Gate, shouting slogans and rushing to various parts of the Castle connected by the passage.

The unbelievably terrifying reality left them at a loss, they could only watch the enemy run past them, then belatedly throw down their Swords and squat in a corner, praying not to be noticed.

But there were still some guards, whether they were truly not afraid of death or hadn't reacted, who actually swung their weapons at the Magic Energy-filled Shield Warriors.

Brave fools.

The attacked Shield Warriors didn't even want to waste time dodging, they easily took a hit while delivering a fatal blow.

"Iron Bull" Gendry didn't stop at all, letting the passing guards block his way with Swords, he just kept charging forward, breaking through the Swords and guards with his body and armor, like a battering ram.

The guards he left behind were all extremely astonished, looking at his unharmed back and doubting life, then were finished off by the pursuing Shield Warriors.

The guards witnessed these bizarre and terrifying scenes with their own eyes.

Impervious to Swords and Spears?! What kind of monster!

No!

Absolutely unbeatable!

The guards wisely put down their weapons one after another, watching in panic as the victors went deeper.

"Iron Bull" Gendry was still running at the front.

For him, the attacks from Swords were not a problem, but rather made the guards recognize the situation of the war and voluntarily give up resistance.

Although the Holy Shield Power was limited.

But with the power he had accumulated, plus the defense of the armor itself, it was enough to deal with this kind of attack hundreds or thousands of times.

What was there to be afraid of?

The Light Screen guided him in the direction of advance, the target was there, and he just kept running.

The scene in front of him flashed by quickly, the incoming Swords and arrows were left behind, the shouts of the Storm's End guards suddenly became loud, then quickly faded, Soldiers were running everywhere, equipment and Supplies were scattered everywhere.

It was a mess, and he was just running wildly.

This felt so good. He had never felt so exhilarated, the hot blood in his body, the heartbeat in his chest, his swinging limbs were all cheering for the war.

My destiny should be the battlefield, my abilities should be displayed in war. He understood his Roads.

Why did I only realize this today!

"Iron Bull" Gendry thought with regret and satisfaction.

However, it's not too late now. With the capture of Storm's End as a start, who could hope for more?

But this is not the peak, nor the end.

Your Majesty's ambition is far more than just the Seven Kingdoms, the wider world, more terrifying monsters, these will all become the King's enemies in the future!

The war will not end!

Gendry used to be worried about this, but having personally experienced such a wonderful scene, now that he had awakened, his heart was filled only with excitement.

Following the King's footsteps, he could enter even more shocking wars! Harvest more victories!

For this, he must gain Your Majesty's attention.

Today was an opportunity, perhaps the most rare opportunity.

He secretly made up his mind that he must personally capture Cortnay Penrose, take him alive, and personally escort him to the King.

Resistance sounded from the front: "Shields! Spears!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Large Shields were interlocked with each other, completely blocking the entire passage, sharp Spears extended diagonally from above the Shield Formation, like the quills on a porcupine.

"Iron Bull" Gendry finally slowed down.

The end of the passage was ahead, and there would be no more obstacles before the stairs connected to the City Walls once he rushed out of the passage.

The enemy obviously understood this as well, gathering so many people here.

What was more troublesome was that these newcomers had not yet seen the abilities of the Shield Warriors, so they retained some courage to resist.

But it was only a hassle.

"Brothers, charge in!" he roared, pointing his broad greatsword at the shield formation directly ahead.

The nine soldiers of the First Squad huddled tightly behind him, forming a wedge formation to provide assistance to Second Lieutenant Gendry, who served as the "blade."

The two sides were about to engage in close combat!

But just then, the shield warrior at the rear of the wedge formation quietly asked, "Wouldn't it be easier to use 'Water Drops' to clear the way?"

Uh~

"Iron Bull" Gendry's expression froze, his fervent emotions calmed slightly, and he remembered this better method.

He took out a "Water Drop."

Until half a month ago, these strange items were still exclusive equipment for Holy Fire Warriors; others could only watch with envy.

But since the siege began, the power of the Holy Fire Warriors had accumulated more and more, clearly exceeding what was needed for battle.

His Majesty then produced new Divine Grace Creations. With the cooperation of Sorcerers and Holy Fire Warriors to supply energy, they could create "Water Drops" that anyone could use.

"All ready!" he roared, gripping the pull tab of the "Water Drop."

The guards in the opposing shield formation had no idea what the enemy was doing and didn't know how to react. The officer ordered, "Hold your positions! Don't worry about anything else!"

The shield formation remained unmoving.

"Three, two, one, throw!"

The pull tabs of ten "Water Drops" were removed simultaneously, and arms swung forcefully, sending the small steel balls arcing towards the sky above the shield formation.

The guards looked up blankly, watching the steel balls rise and fall along a curved trajectory, finally landing among them behind the shield formation.

Exactly three seconds had passed.

The preset Information Magic Energy instantly triggered, igniting the hidden Fire Magic Energy.

Boom~~

The blast wave surged through the narrow passage, scattering bodies, debris, and blood everywhere.

The white mist was thick; all that could be seen was a warm, milky white. The air was humid and seemed much thinner, making breathing heavy, as if about to suffocate.

"Iron Bull" Gendry covered his mouth and nose and stepped forward. "Charge through! Watch your step."

Everyone began to grope their way forward.

Piercing wails and pleas for mercy came from all directions, chaotic and indistinct, seemingly the confusing whispers from hell.

They constantly felt foreign objects underfoot.

A sticky, slippery feeling was blood or internal organs;

A hard, grating touch was exposed bone shards, scattered swords, armor, or shields;

Neither soft nor hard was a corpse filled with flesh and blood;

Anything still moving was a body that hadn't completely cooled.

Even "Iron Bull" Gendry, already in a frenzy of war, was inevitably affected by this environment, his mood suppressed.

Fortunately, Light finally reappeared.

Seeing only a dozen cowardly enemies before him, he smiled again.

"To the City Walls!"
