Chapter 72 The Power of Myth

The captain of the siege team showed a smug smile. With this momentum, at most two more hits could smash the city gate into a pile of sawdust. However, when the sheep's head hammer hit the city gate again, the dull roar turned into an extremely sharp and piercing sound of gold and iron. Sparks burst out from the hammer head, and the horns of the sheep's head broke off on the spot. The arms of all the siegemen were numb, and the heavy battering ram dropped to the ground. The severe pain from their toes made them jump up and scream, and the whole siege team became chaotic.

On the opposite side of the city gate, the druids who finished casting the spell in time to turn the wooden door into an iron gate were all relieved. They didn't even bother to wipe off their sweat before entering a tense state of concentration again, and collectively released spells to repair the city gate.

The magic power released by the 0-ring "repair technique" is very limited, and it can only repair a small crack. Fortunately, this spell does not need to occupy spell slots, and druids can cast it unlimitedly. Based on the simple and crude principle of "many people are powerful", all the cracks on the city gate will be erased within five minutes, turning into An impenetrable wall of solid iron.

The ogre siege party didn't even have a chance to challenge this iron wall. Standing on a high wall overlooking the battlefield, Magni noticed that the ogre siege team was in disarray, and decisively seized the opportunity to order his tribe to launch a counterattack.

Asa warriors carried the boiling fat in large wooden barrels up to the city wall and poured it condescendingly.

Boiling oil was poured down on the head, and the ogre siegeman was scalded and screamed. After the boiling oil fell, porcelain bottles filled with hot glue and more rockets fell, and the ogre siegemen covered in grease were all ignited, turning into large human-shaped torches, howling and rolling all over the ground . The ogres who managed to escape the boiling oil and rocket attacks were all frightened, dropped their shields, turned around and ran wildly. However, before taking two steps, they fell one after another, and were entangled tightly by the activated vines that climbed down from the city wall, unable to move.

"Taste this, villain!" roared Magny, throwing his javelin.

puff! An ogre that was struggling in the vines was hit by a javelin thrown by Magni, pierced from the back to the front of the chest, pinned to the ground, convulsed twice, and died, blood stained the surrounding area vines.

The Asa warriors beside Magni cheered in unison, and their morale was boosted. They dropped javelins and shot arrows one after another, killing the ogre siegemen who were entangled in vines one by one.

...

On the other side of the battlefield, Shrek witnessed the entire army of the siege team annihilated, his chest heaved violently with fury, his lips were tightly pursed without saying a word, he turned over and rode on the armored ferocious bear named "Baron", looked up at the city gate, his eyes divided It was cold outside.

"Your Majesty, you want to personally attack the city?" Cassio pulled the rein and eagerly dissuaded Shrek, "This is too risky!"

"Adventure?" The ogre lord flicked the reins lightly and shook the poet away, his sturdy body exuded suffocating pressure, "Look carefully, Cassio, Shrek never takes risks—Shrek is danger!"

The ogre lord clamped his legs, and the spurs pierced deeply into the bear's buttocks. The giant beast in iron armor roared fiercely, and carried its master straight to the city gate, like a galloping steel chariot.

The activated vines formed the first line of defense against Shrek, like a swarm of green snakes swarming, wrapping around the limbs of the giant armored bear, trying to trip its footsteps. However, compared to the divine power of this giant bear, the slender vines were extremely fragile, and they were torn to pieces by the giant bear in an instant, and trampled over.

Magny on the city wall witnessed Shrek charging alone and couldn't help secretly admiring the courage of this mythical ogre. However, admiration is nothing but admiration, Magni did not forget his duty, and ordered the sniper mercilessly.

The defenders at the top of the city had already aimed their ballistas at the ogre king, and Magni gave an order, and immediately there was a howling sound of breaking wind on the city wall, and countless crossbow bolts mixed with javelins shot towards Shrek.

Facing the overwhelming rain of arrows, the ogre lord showed no fear, holding the rein in his left hand and urging the bear to gallop at full speed, freeing his right hand to hold up the adamantine tower shield to block the incoming arrows.

The huge crossbow bolt fired by the ballista hit the shield and exploded, Shrek's arm holding the shield trembled slightly, but the tall body sitting on the bear's back remained motionless, its waist still straight.

All the huge arrows shot by the city defense ballista were blocked by King Shrek with the adamantine tower shield. As for those smaller javelins and arrows, he did not deliberately avoid them, even if they were shot, he didn't care.

Mythological power endows Shrek, the "Lord of Ogre", with a strong body that is almost invulnerable. Except for legendary weapons and artifacts, it is difficult for other weapons to pierce his mythical skin. Besides, the enchanted scale armor on Shrek's body is not a decoration, ordinary arrows can't even penetrate his armor, let alone cause fatal damage to him.

"Damn fat man, the skin is really thick!"

Magni cursed in a low voice, and then called the druids to climb up the wall and stop the ogre lord with spells.

In the world of Vales, where there are countless supernatural creatures, monsters with the ability to resist physical damage are not uncommon. The best way to deal with such enemies is magic. No matter the tough skin or the hard carapace, they can usually only resist swords, guns and arrows, but they are powerless to stop magic attacks.

In Magny's view, Shrek's powerful defense is also limited to resisting physical attacks, and the flames and lightning blasted by the druids will teach him the principle of "don't be too arrogant".

Magni's judgment based on common sense is generally correct. Shrek's mythical skin does only have the effect of reducing physical damage, and it is no different from ordinary people in the face of magic attacks. However, Magni is not a mythical creature after all, and he doesn't know enough about the mythical ogre lord on the opposite side, so that he underestimated the opponent's strength.

Just as the druids were chanting prayers collectively and preparing to release the "burning fire" and "summoning thunder", Shrek was also urging the mythical power surging in his body, every inch of his body was soaked in divine power, Gives off a cool metallic luster. The unique ability of this kind of mythical ogre is called "steel toughness". Consuming a "power of myth" can miraculously strengthen the flesh and blood body, and it will be immune to all attacks against itself for the next 6 seconds— — Whether it is physical damage or magic attack.

Roaring thunder and lightning fell on his head one after another, and the scorching flames drowned Shrek. However, under the protection of the mythical power, the ogre king was unscathed, and he still galloped on the battlefield on the giant bear. As an ogre lord with 2 myth levels, Shrek uses myth power up to 7 times a day, all of which are used to maintain "steel toughness", which is enough to protect him from rushing across the battlefield blocked by overwhelming arrow rain, lightning and magic flames , arrived in front of the city gate, held up the fine gold stick with the momentum of the charge, and swung it out violently with all the strength in his body.

The moment Shrek exerted his strength, the muscles in his arms stretched out, almost cracking the scales, and the heavy mace hit the city gate firmly, and the ensuing roar almost shattered the eardrums of the Asa defenders on the opposite side of the city gate. , A strong shock wave erupted, knocking the people around the city gate to the ground, dizzy.

When people woke up from the dizziness and looked up at the city gate, they were all dumbfounded.

The thick door that had been strengthened by divine arts and was as hard as steel was smashed to pieces by Shrek! The ogre king held a golden mace and reined in the bear with one hand, walked through the open city gate, glanced coldly at the Asa people on the opposite side, and made a solemn and arrogant declaration in the tone of a conqueror.

"Put down your weapons! Choose the most noble among you as a representative, and surrender to Shrek!"
