Chapter 284: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 87

Kayn and Gilbert stayed at the wall, seemingly overlooking the battle and fully focused on commanding their army on the wall of the Dream Village to continue with their barrage of attacks to the feeble and poor defense that the Freedom Fang Brigade had hurriedly constructed to block their attacks.

Contrary to a short while ago, the Freedom Fang Brigade finally proved to Kayn and Gilbert the true reason why they were chosen as the main army of the Assembly of Freedom.

What was once thought to be a weak defense started getting stronger and tougher as every single minute passed. Eventually, the wall they constructed turned no different from the wall of Freedom City.

And as if to make it into an actual wall, two tall and huge towers were constructed, and soon their ballista were mounted inside the walls with a small hole opening for their arrows to shoot.

It was truly an exemplary sight.

If it wasn't for the fact that they are their enemy, Kayn would have applauded their swift and precise technique in constructing a temporary defense.

Contrary to what everyone from the Dream Village was expecting, the Freedom Fang Brigade still didn't choose to attack.

Their patience was noteworthy despite the fact that they are members of the Assembly of Freedom.

"Wouldn't it just be useless if we continue attacking them like this?" Gilbert expresses his concern.

Now that there's a wall, the attacks they're launching have proven to barely cause any effect on the Freedom Fang Brigade. In fact, there haven't even been any casualties to their army from the moment the wall was constructed.

Aside from causing damage to the wall, the attacks are doing nothing else.

"Catapults, start lighting up the stones!" Kayn finally decided to upgrade the attack.

In the next moment, the soldiers manning the catapults started drenching the stones with oil and lighting it up with fire right before it launches into the sky.

Whoosh!

Burning balls of flames soon started raining on the walls of the Freedom Fang Brigade.

"Roll up the barrels!"

Next, it was time to make their soldier take a shower using oil.

Whooosh!

Bang!

Boom!

Whaaash!

A series of loud explosions sounded as the barrels started exploding the instant they make contact with the flames on top of the walls.

Since it was oil inside, the explosion causes them to splash everywhere nearby.

A similar sight to when Kayn and his army first invaded the Dream Village took place.

Once again, the people suffering from the arson were the members of the Assembly of Freedom.

Unfortunately, this time the upgrade of their attack barely lasted long as the Freedom Fang Brigade already prepared themselves for it.

It was already common knowledge that the Dream Village possessed an excess supply of oil in their territory. That's because it was in the battle report how Kayn and his army used the defense strategy of the Dream Village against them.

Numerous mages cast the same magic spell which allowed them to take away all existing oxygen nearby their walls.

With no oxygen, it becomes impossible for the fire to continue burning.

Consequently, the unending succession of barrels would ignite upon contact with the lingering flames on the ground, causing a rapid explosion, which would then swiftly be quenched upon reaching a certain perimeter around the walls.

Naturally, because of the absence of oxygen, there's not a single soldier who remained in the wall.

In the end, the new defense of the Freedom Fang Brigade created a vacuum.

Unbeknownst to the Freedom Fang Brigade, that was exactly what Kayn intended to achieve.

There are a few noteworthy things that a vacuum can cause but what Kayn intended to achieve was the so-called extreme temperature variations. Meaning, anything exposed to sunlight becomes extremely hot, and a shaded area can become extremely cold.

This implies that just a slight change in temperature around the vacuum can bring about extremely disastrous consequences to anything within the vacuum.

Moreover, in an environment where mana exists almost everywhere, including areas with no oxygen around, things can easily go out of control.

"Mages, freeze the water around their walls!"

Despite not understanding the reason why, all mages still complied with Kayn's order.

Not long after, a portion of the moat froze and turned into ice. The smoke produced from the cold slowly drifted inside the vacuum.

"This time, replace the stone balls with barrels of water,"

The soldiers still don't understand what exactly is going on. Nevertheless, they continued to comply.

Whooosh!

The barrels traveled very fast and soon they reached the vacuum wall.

Boom!

In just a blink of an eye, a strange and unexpected phenomenon appeared in front of everyone.

Ice Balls.

Spiky ice balls, to be exact!

Boom!

Whoosh!

Upon landing on the hard surface of the wall or the ground, the spiky ice balls instantly exploded into pieces, which then creates a strong enough force to propel almost every single ice spike forward.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A series of loud explosions echoed behind the wall of the Freedom Fang Brigade as pillars of thick clouds of smoke appeared almost everywhere.

"What?!" Gilbert was caught by surprise as he turned his head to look at Kayn.

"Wonderful!" Kayn felt delighted.

"How?!"

"That's one of the wonders of combining science and magic into one," Kayn decided not to explain to Gilbert since it is a very complicated process.

"Just where on Earth did you even learn all this stuff? And please don't even get me started by saying the Starlight Hero Academy taught you all of these," Gilbert wasn't a fool. Although the Starlight Hero Academy is a top school on Earth, it's impossible that they teach their students complicated stuff like combining science and magic to instantly turn water into ice inside a vacuum.

"I like to study, that's all,"

Naturally, Kayn wouldn't tell the truth that he had actually learned this knowledge after overcoming one of the most difficult challenges around the 900th to 1,000th floor inside the 'Tower'.
