My Space-Time System

591  Breaching the walls of Willowbrook.

In a matter of minutes, the city of Willowbrook was surrounded from all sides by hundreds of teleportation ballistae, magic trebuchets, cannons etc. ready to fire at the already damaged city barrier once the signal was given.

To make matters worse for the city of Willowbrook, their cannons and mana barriers were close to ineffective as the troops of Tigeria had mounted war barriers in front of all their siege weapons. They were sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered.

(AN: Note that these are just normal war barriers, not the unique ones given to the members of the League.)

On the other hand, 40% of their troops stationed at the Whispering Gorge received information from the spies monitoring the advancing Tigeria troops. Not only had the soldiers of Tigeria halted, but they had also created a warp array and were moving to heavens know where.

They quickly reported this to the city, but they received no response from anyone, not even their commander. Unbeknownst to them, their newly assigned commander had abandoned the city and was currently at the capital.

No one was responding to their calls and those they laid in ambush for were nowhere to be found. The troops decided to rush back to the city because something was wrong.

However, they had no idea that the troops of Tigeria stationed not too far from the walls of Willowbrook had also faced some of their weapons in their direction, awaiting their arrival.

"Aim!" Sealord Granick ordered as he flew into the air. "Fire!"

Once the order was given, all siege weapons let loose on the city barrier.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The orange city barrier which had healed to a certain extent, continuously shimmered as its cracks began expanding at a visible rate.

The Ash Corps were utterly confused about what to do as their firepower, time and time again had proved to be ineffective. Almost immediately, their hopes were quickly renewed as they saw Granick slowly ascending into the sky.

Immediately, they aimed their weapons at him and released countless volleys. However, their hopes were instantly crushed as their attacks were blocked by what seemed to be an unmovable invisible barrier.

Seeing that there was no high-level combatant in the city, Granick couldn't help but think. "They seem to have abandoned the city. Well, this makes things easier for me."

Immediately, he lifted his right hand and a terrifying amount of mana began gathering toward him, as the sky instantly darkened.

Fear and uncertainty, filled the hearts of the Ash corps as they helplessly watched a 20-meter-tall purple lightning bolt form in Granick's hand.

Placing his left hand in front of him, the Sealord thrust the purple lightning bolt with his Angelic strength, and instantly, it crashed into the barrier.

BOOOM!

The city shook violently as the cracks on the fiery barrier tripled, and the inhabitants prayed that the barrier continue holding up, but both of them combined couldn't withstand the sheer power of a Perfect Angel.

SMASH!

The city barrier shattered and soon after, the wall's purple barrier followed suit, leaving the entire city of Willowbrook stark-naked; without hesitation, the siege weapons repositioned their aim to the troops on the wall and continued their rampage.

At that time, Sealord Granick returned to the ground where he received a report from the other battlefields.

Just like Granick, the other Sea lords had also begun their attacks on the next cities. However, not only were their forces not lured out of the city or were their situation now hopeless, but they were of more importance to the Synder empire.

They received reinforcement from both high-level and low-level combatants. This greatly slowed the progress of the other forces and even brought some of them to a halt, but the Tigeria empire had a simple remedy for this, the long-distance warp array.

The long-distance warp arrays connected all battlefields, meaning that whichever group needed reinforcement could get extra troops from those less occupied. So, even if the battle was stuck at a stalemate, the troops of Tigeria would receive back-up the moment others were done capturing their cities.

"You two should go support them with your troops." Granick ordered two of his generals before turning back to the battlefield.

At this point, Seraphina, her team, and the high-level combatants of Tigeria had made their way atop the city walls, beginning another round of onslaught.

In no time, battery rams broke through the gates of Willowbrook, and soldiers began pouring into the city.

Unlike, Coastville which surrendered quickly, the Ash Corps here decided to hold out as they still believed that reinforcements were on their way. They positioned themselves in the barricades they set all around the city as they resisted the invaders, but they were instantly crushed whenever a high-level combatant appeared at the scene.

Having no one that could stop him, Granick went straight for the Square and released another purple lightning bolt to destroy it.

"Why destroy it when we have already taken over the city? We can just disable the warp arrays." Seraphina couldn't help but ask.

"The Squares are artefacts under the control of the Synder empire. Unless destroyed or the royal family killed, you can never have true control over them, and that can lead to a lot of unwanted problems." Sealord Granick explained.

After 45 minutes of breaching the city's defences, the Ash Corps of Willowbrook realized that no one was coming to save them, and decided to surrender. Just like Coastville, mana-inhibiting collars were put on them as well as the nobles of the city. A little bit more troops were sent to the battlefields needed, and upgrades to the city's defences began.

Willowbrook had fallen, and it was an overwhelming victory for Tigeria!

Back at Aquastrum, Tidewalker IV and Dorian were standing in front of a war table, while Cassius remained seated on his Mana crystal throne.

"Another round of cities has been captured, but things will only get harder from here as their forces will no longer be spread too thin." Tidewalker IV reported the live situation of the war.
