Chapter 289 Both Parties Have Ulterior Motives

At this moment, the soldiers who were aiming and preparing to fire next to the city crossbows saw this scene and cold sweat dripped down their cheeks.

Because it is very difficult to aim and move the city defense crossbow, the opponent moves very fast, and there is no way to predict the opponent's movement route.

To put it bluntly, these defenders were simply unable to track the enemy's trajectory.

It can be said that Mangqiu's attack completely hit the sore spot of the slow movement of the city defense crossbows.

Yao Ye's eyes narrowed slowly, and she looked towards the city. The army led by Gu Fengchen and Nalan Feng were still trying their best to kill Mo Feng and others, but it still took time.

The power of the city defense crossbow had just been demonstrated once, but this one-star Dou Wang still rushed forward without any fear. Just based on this kind of courage, few people on the Gama Empire could do it.

Yao Ye originally planned to observe for a while longer, but Mang Qiu paused, seeming to reveal a flaw.

Yao Ye always felt that the other party was deliberately exposing his flaws, so he did not order the arrows to be shot.

However, although Yao Ye did not give the order, the soldiers guarding the city crossbow were obviously unwilling to miss this great opportunity. They aimed at Mang Qiu and pulled the heavy crossbow spring.

However, the imagined scene of nailing Mangqiu to the floor did not happen.

The ferocious one-star Dou Wang seemed to have guessed when the heavy city-defending crossbow would be fired. Ten seconds before the other party pulled the trigger, he jumped up from the ground in a very twisted posture.

The opponent even made a jaw-dropping hover in the air.

Mang Qiu did not use his fighting spirit to transform into wings, but he was still able to hover in the air easily.

At this moment, the heavy crossbow arrow was nailed into Mang Qiu's side like a huge steel nail. He just stood there silently, as if he was very far away, staring at Yao Ye who was standing on the top of the city wall.

At this moment, the emotions of all the snake-man warriors were aroused by Mangqiu's heroic behavior just now. They cheered and applauded. At this moment, the momentum of the snake-man warriors reached its peak.

Yao Ye exhaled slowly, "This guy is really brave."

"Princess, this person must be a close minister to Queen Medusa, that's why he is so brave."

Yao Ye frowned slightly. Now the two sides seemed to be back on the same level. The Snake People were very powerful, and the support from the Gama Empire came very slowly. Especially after the Izumo Empire joined, the difference in numbers between the two sides became more and more obvious.

Therefore, Yao Ye knew that if they kept dragging the situation on, they would not be able to afford it, so they had to use the most direct means to suppress the opponent's momentum.

Although he did not intend to use this city defense crossbow to directly intimidate the enemy, he at least wanted to prevent the enemy from rushing in at once, and form a slower momentum.

That's why they opened a hole to let the vanguard of Mo Feng in, and that's why the city defense crossbow that hadn't been used was finally used.

Originally, the deterrent effect of the city defense crossbow was very good, and those snake-man warriors were obviously also deterred.

However, Mang Qiu's sudden appearance turned the originally good situation around again.

However, the snake people did not start fighting immediately.

Yao Ye could probably figure out some things.

First of all, the Gama Empire is now in a state of fighting like a trapped beast, but it is a trapped beast and a dying beast.

The Snake People were obviously afraid of the Gama Empire's lethal force.

Another question is who will play next.

In fact, many people of the Snake People have died, so in this round, the Snake People must hope that the Izumo Empire will send troops first.

But the Izumo Empire came here this time mostly to watch the fun, and at most to help out.

If I win, I'll get some benefits, and if I lose, there's no loss. I simply don't plan to put in too much effort.

Especially after Gu Fengchen had killed several masters before, the Izumo Empire was even more reluctant to serve as the vanguard.
