Chapter 1088 - Seven Cities Assault -Part 7

"Bloody hell..." Moloch grumbled when he realised that his side of battle was not as easy as Qiu Yue’s or the Northern portion of the Demopolis wall despite it being poorly coordinated by Kraft and overrun with Pandarens. He envied that the North Eastern portion of the Demopolis was under control when Tyr Gauntlet came smashing down on the army hard when they appeared with their flash mass teleport.

The Tyr’s Elites gave a fantastic opener when they performed a pincer movement from the sides and the back of Merah City’s army. With the back of the army being filled with paramilitary support and siege weapons, Tyr’s Elite killed them down quickly with the brand new shining toys at their disposal. While it might just be a level one inscription weapon, it was akin to magical swords that might cost at least hundreds to thousands of dungeon dollars from a regular weaponsmith. The Tyr’s Elites’ access to better versions of those ’magical’ weapons were a boon and they raged through the backbone of the army.

Contrary to Merah City’s Army, Bodek’s General Edgar was pushing through his army with a traditional and systematic assault towards the North Western portion of Demopolis. Moloch reacted with a continuous barrage of artillery fire but Edgar’s army was fearless to a fault. They did not care about the casualties they incurred and instead kept moving forward as if they were the tsunami tidal waves moving through the shores, relentless in their march to destroy things.

Yet the Demon Guards in the North Western portion did not falter at all nor lost their morale despite the battle hardened army of Bodek steadily pacing through the forested areas and into the plains right in front of Demopolis Walls because of a particular group reinforcing them.

The Atrocity Mafia who had recouped their losses after their One Eyed boss, Sakov had made a deal with the System after Rex’s enticing offer of a full adamantine armour set.

Now that the city was in arms with the Shadow Kings, the rest of the minor mafia families had no choice but to confusingly follow the big groups after they acknowledged that enemies of Demopolis take priority. While it was true some of the minor mafias did not agree with this sudden change of arrangement, they saw how the Home Guards tolerated their presence and even generously provided them with supplies during the truce.

Thus, with the drastic change of circ.u.mstances, they temporarily allied themselves with the big three or rather, the big two since Tyr Gauntlets decided to act alone as they usually do. And because of this, the Atrocity Alliance was at least a thousand people strong and all of them were waiting behind the walls with huge holographic televisions hovering above their heads, showing them the ferocity of the incoming enemy army.

As there was only one particular gate at the North Western portion, Bodek General Edgar believed that pinning his hopes on destroying it would be pointless. He knew there were some tricks behind this Demopolis Wall and he was not going to follow the convention despite his brute force march.

Those defensive cannons which kept pounding explosive fire on his troops were something out of this world and something that even the magical advanced cities were not capable of doing. That weapon was defying in nature and thus he had to bring out his trump card moves too. Bodek’s City was known for men with colossal strength and they were not mere hearsay when his army stormed through the plains with most of his soldiers able to withstand the explosive fire.

Still, repeated artillery fire could bring those men down and that was what Demopolis Home Guards were doing. With the artillery guns that were deployed with the assistance of the Pandarens’ wallets, they rained down shells after shells which the Orcs would give a grade above passing. However, the Bodek City Army was not only marching through the plains for nothing.

One would think that they were moving forth systematically but they were actually preparing to create an (in)human staircase where the toughest one would hold his ground and the rest would create a stack at the front with their shields, withstanding the explosive fire to the best of their limit. With pure brute strength, the soldiers eventually created a human like ramp where the backlines would dash and step on their comrade’s back to jump across and to reach Demopolis wall.

Yet, the Demopolis Home Guards were not idle with their defensive manoeuvre as some took out their machine guns and fired at their opponents with solid lead. Nevertheless, the Bodek Human Ramp was so tediously resilient that they grit their teeth and bare through each and every bullet. It was as if they were given medicine or drugs that would turn their pain receptors off and those bullets did nothing but put merely holes into their staunch body. (The rumours of the Church’s Serum were reinforced into Kraft’s thoughts when they saw it working so well for the Bodek army.)

It was only when the artillery guns used piercing anti tank shots upon the command of Moloch that they managed to destroy a portion of the human ramp. Nevertheless, General Edgar ensured that there were reserves at the side of the ramp that would replace the gaps in its human staircase so that it would remain steady for the assault.

Simultaneously, the inhuman soldiers that managed to jump across the wall had begun to destroy the artillery guns that were causing damage to the human ramp plan. It was at this point the Atrocity Mafia had sortied to take on the brutes. And they were equally mercilessly as they dragged the humans over the wall and into the city where the rest of the Mafia members were waiting to assault it. This was because they did not want the Bodek soldiers to cause any further collateral damage to the wall.

Some of the mafia members even sacrificed themselves to be part of the fall so that they could bring Bodek’s soldiers to the other side of the wall.

Separately, the guns that were bunkered within the walls were destroyed as the enemies who did not manage to jump to the top of them slid down and took advantage of the situation to destroy some of the artillery guns stationed in the walls.

But broken barrels aside, the enemy soldiers were unable to break the steel reinforced cement walls with their bare hands and the Home Guards stood at a distance and sprayed their bullets through the bunker windows. Most of them scored a headshot or dealt enough damage to cause them to fall completely. The situation was indeed a battle of attrition, seeing who could last the longest.

"Should I get my foxys to act on the current situation? They are currently stationed right behind them." Kraft saw the increasing difficulty which Moloch was facing since part of Taris Army was with them and that very same wretched Siege Support Battalion was steadily preparing their offensive assault from afar. It would not be long for them to release their barrage of primitive yet possibly effective siege projectiles against the Demopolis walls.

"Well, what are you waiting for?!" Moloch rolled his plushie looking eyes and immediately saw that he had command of the Night Foxes awaiting at the back of their army.
