Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2739

Chapter 2739 A Huge Battle

Everyone froze in shock when the source of the noise finally appeared.

It's the beasts again! There are more than twenty of them this time!

Not only were there twice as many beasts, but they were also a few times stronger and more ferocious.

The beasts were such a fearsome force that they left nothing but destruction in their paths. Not only did trees get knocked down by their stampede, but the air was also filled with clouds of dust as debris flew everywhere.

The ground shook violently as though an earthquake was tearing through the area, and the walls were on the verge of collapsing as the beasts rammed into them at lightning speed.

Boom!

The walls were shaking so much from the impact that many of the guards stationed on top of them lost their balance and fell off, only to be stomped into a bloody pulp beneath the beasts' heels.

The beasts roared as they moved about twenty meters back before charging forward again.

The epic battle reached its climax just moments after it started.

The guards were starting to lose their cool as a result of the utter chaos.

Fortunately, the captain of the guards was very experienced and managed to calm them down fairly quickly.

“All archers, get ready! I repeat, all archers, get ready! Take aim! Fire!”

Just like that, the archers gathered on the top of the wall and rained arrows down on the beasts.

However, the beasts had such tough skin and flesh that the ordinary arrows were unable to hurt them at all.

Even if the arrows were able to penetrate the skin and flesh, it would not do much damage to their ridiculously gigantic bodies.

If anything, those arrows would only feel like mosquito bites.

Among the attacking beasts was a hawk with blood-red eyes that could send shivers down anyone's spine.

It was two meters in height, and its wings could cover a length of five meters when fully extended.

While swooping down from the sky, it effortlessly sent dozens of guards flying upon impact.

Two of the guards even had their heads cut off by the hawk's razor-sharp claws in the process.

Just like that, the red-eyed hawk almost broke through the guards' defenses all by itself.

All the other Legatuses were busy refining spiritual iron in the Spirit Stone storage area, so there was only one Legatus left to defend the city wall.

With the enemy at their doorstep, that Legatus had no choice but to join the fight and face the red-eyed hawk head-on.

The two were soon locked in fierce combat.

While the red-eyed hawk was no match for the Legatus in terms of strength, it had been killing on a daily basis just to survive.

Therefore, it had lots of combat experience and a tendency to go all-out in fights.

Eventually, its aggressive fighting style forced the Legatus to start retreating.

Noticing that it was starting to gain the upper hand, the red-eyed hawk fought even more aggressively. After wounding the Legatus severely a few times, it seized the opportunity and pecked at the Legatus' eyes with its razor-sharp beak.

“Argh!”

The Legatus let out a bloodcurdling scream in agony as his eyeballs were punctured. He went blind on the spot.

Having lost his ability to see, the Legatus was no longer able to participate in the battle.

The red-eyed hawk let out a shrill, mocking laughter when it saw that the Legatus was no longer a threat to them.

Naturally, the Legatus was furious when he heard the red-eyed hawk's laughter.

What the... This is utterly unacceptable! I can't believe I've just been mocked by a f*cking bird! I'm a Legatus, and yet, I lost to a bird? Hmph! I would rather die than be humiliated!

The Legatus wrapped his arms around the red-eyed hawk's neck immediately after his eyes were blinded. Then, without warning, he detonated his life force.

The red-eyed hawk realized what the Legatus was doing the moment he wrapped his arms around its neck.

Terrified, the red-eyed hawk shook its head around as hard as it could, but the Legatus had such a strong grip that it couldn't shake him off at all.

A few seconds later, a deafening explosion tore through the area as both the Legatus and the red-eyed hawk were blown to bloody bits.

Everyone at the scene shuddered when they saw that.

Did our Legatus just sacrifice his life to take out a beast? There are over twenty beasts here! Does that mean we'll need over twenty Legatuses to sacrifice their lives? Where the f*ck did these beasts even come from? How are they as powerful as Legatuses?
