Chapter 796 The Battle Of Dry City: Extra Arrays

It did not take long for Minos to get the answers to his questions.

Moments after Thomas Brown realized the extent of the enemy attacks on his forces, he quickly altered his plans, ordering his soldiers to begin plan B.

Since he had come this far, obviously, he and his people would not be unprepared for a situation like the present one.

Consequently, the Counter-Revolutionary Army group had alternative plans to use in this place if the situation changed in favor of the enemies.

And Thomas' response had been one of them, which Minos knew was very likely to be used in this situation.

That was to use those thousands of people to attack the local defenses in an attempt to break through parts of that dome where they could invade Dry City!

With that, in the blink of an eye, a few thousand soldiers from the forces led by Thomas Brown were advancing against the defensive dome as they circulated their energies, preparing to attack.

A single level 59 Spiritual King would be able to destroy a barrier created with a medium-level grade-2 array. And since Minos' enemy's objective was to destroy some sections of that defensive dome, only a few thousand Spiritual Generals were enough to do such a job.

After all, they did not need to destroy that entire dome since, besides being costly for their soldiers, that thing was too big, and they did not need that much space.

It would be good if there were no such defenses in Dry City, as, in this case, they could directly attack the people in that city.

pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴoᴠᴇʟ But since these barriers existed, just a minimal space would already be enough for their action today.

Hence, King Brown was not willing to attack that defensive dome with the full force of his group!pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ

That could be the enemy's goal, something that, once done, would make it much easier for rebel resistance in this place!

And with this in mind, Thomas watched his soldiers begin to attack that tremendous opaque barrier with everything they had.

Many were working together, running and attacking toward similar points, something under the responsibility of different groups.

Their attacks worked in a similar way to cannonballs. They would slowly damage parts of that barrier, creating cracks and stress points, until some sections of the dome were finally destroyed.

Obviously, cannonballs were much more potent than these low-level human attacks. After all, those weapons had a higher rating than the barrier itself, ensuring that they would prevail over the arrays' defenses over time.

Even being of a level above those defensive arrays, the cannons and, of course, their cannonballs would need time to destroy something that was not so far below their level.

Grade-2 items did not have such a big difference between them. That is, they were produced by people of intermediate levels, a range of power in which the exponential energy curve had not yet become so extreme.

And due to the way the defensive arrays worked, even a weapon of a rank above their own could not destroy them in a single attack.

Defensive arrays work like a living tissue that constantly remodels itself, covering holes and repairing cracks.

For this to work, all they needed was time and spiritual energy!

However, once attacked by an item of higher rank than theirs, these arrays would naturally take longer to recover than such a weapon would take to destroy it. pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ

Therefore, cannons like those could defeat those defenses after some time!

But regarding attacks from humans, unless the human had a power similar to the minimum of a high-level grade-2 weapon, as in the case of the level 59 Spiritual Kings, that would happen differently!

The attacks of humans below that level could affect barriers raised by arrays of that rank. But the self-repair of these defensive items would be faster than the rate of damage caused by the attacks.

Because of this, if lower-level people wanted to destroy defenses like those around Dry City, the number of cultivators would need to be much larger than the minimum to face a level 59 Spiritual King.

Furthermore, they would need to focus their attacks on similar points so that the arrays behind those barriers would not self-regenerate in time!

Therefore, those thousands of individuals displayed their most potent offensive techniques while targeting similar points of that part of Dry City's defensive dome.

Swooish!

Pow!

Boom!

Several different sounds arose as distinct forms of energies approached their targets in the middle of each of the dome sections under the attacks.

'Those damn rebels must have used the same strategy against our other two groups...' Thomas thought about this as he waited for the action of his soldiers to conclude. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

'In that case, we probably won't be able to count on a significant fraction of our forces to attack them during the battle of Dry City!'

He then sharpened his eyes and looked deeply at the cracks that were rapidly spreading around certain parts of that dome. 'The rebel forces will probably take advantage of this to diminish our forces!'

"Damn Minos!" He said right after gritting his teeth in hatred.

He did not care if part of those Spiritual Generals died on the battlefield, doing so for the sake of the Brown family. But the feeling of losing thousands of individuals because of enemy attitudes bothered him a lot!

"Damn dome!"

"If this isn't resolved today, I'll have to see with your families methods to deal with it, or we'll never have victory without heavy losses!" He said as he spoke to those representatives of the other regional royal families.

"The cowardly Minos will not fight our way. He will always hide under his tortoiseshell."

Hearing this, each of those people had their own thoughts, several of them agreeing with Thomas. Still, one sees the situation somewhat differently.

'Hehe, you calling him a coward is truly a joke!'

'You, of all, one that is oppressing with over 80,000 soldiers a city that, although decent, can barely be considered large... It's amusing!'

'I bet there aren't that many enemies in that place.' The Stone family representative pondered this as he saw King Brown's hypocrisy.

He was not criticizing the Brown family's action against a rebel. On the contrary, it would be logical to act in such a manner, and almost no one there, even he, would oppose a royal family crushing a rebel.

But Thomas' words, calling Minos a coward, that yes, was something hard to agree with considering that that king was taking such action.

Or did Thomas think that Minos was a coward for not wanting to die at his hands?

That was simply absurd!

A worm naturally uses all its means to ensure its survival!

And considering the favorable view of the Black Plain that the Stone family experts had, that man could not help but laugh in his mind over Thomas' comment.

'On the other hand, the time is finally coming for me to meet the local powerhouse!' Such a representative thought about that when he finally saw one of the dome sections being obliterated.

At that moment, the opaque material that covered part of Dry City degraded to dust, giving a view of part of the interior of that defensive dome. From there, the tops of many buildings, a large tower in the background, and part of the wall around the city could be seen by these invaders attacking the Black Plain.

"Finally!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"Hehehe, time for us to taste the rebel blood!"

Several comments arose in the surroundings as Minos' enemies began to move forward with their plans to invade that city, to fight a deadly battle nearby.

However, as quickly as Minos' soldiers in the surroundings began to exit through that opening made by the enemies, the leaders of the counter-revolutionary forces began to feel annoyed.

"Why are those bastards smiling?" Thomas asked this in anger as he observed the expressions of the soldiers, allies, and Minos himself, who were already standing in front of that area.

After that, in just a fraction of a second, the energy around the recently destroyed place suddenly shook as it went into refraction with the signs of a defensive array.

And when they least expected it, the thousands of enemies running toward that place saw new barrier sections appearing where they had just destroyed!

"What?"

"How can that be? We just destroyed those damn sections!"

Hearing this, Minos, who was only a few dozen meters from the enemies, could not help but laugh. 'Idiots!'

'You guys think I build a defensive dome like this and don't even have a few extra arrays?'

'But of course, that was only effective thanks to my friends from the Miller family, hehehe.'
