Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

992 Warning Shots
Li Xiang witnessed with his own eyes a meteor appearing on the battlefield near Rising Sun City. There was no sense of ground shaking or a massive shockwave. Instead, it was silent and motionless.

In the instant the meteor fell, a massive stargate appeared at the location where the meteor landed, as if it was not a meteor but rather a series of stargates. The location of the meteor’s impact was not close to the Rising Sun City, and there were geographical obstacles. No one knew that what fell was not just a meteor but a series of stargates.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s strange. Could this meteor shower be nothing more than sound and fury, not a disaster?”

“There isn’t even a sound. This doesn’t seem like a meteor fall at all, but something else entirely.”

Suspicion also arose within Rising Sun City.

The situation on the battlefield seemed eerie.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just as everyone was puzzling about the bizarre occurrence, a deafening boom resounded from the battlefield outside Rising Sun City. The sound was impactful, as if some terrifying giant beast was rampaging on the ground, causing the earth to tremble. If it were a living creature, it would be a fearsome behemoth.

“Soldiers, be prepared! String your bows and arrows! The whole army on guard!”

Zhao Yun and the others’ expressions hardened and they immediately issued orders.

Under the moonlight, the battlefield remained visible. With the vision of cultivators, seeing in the darkness was not a difficult task.

As the thunderous rumble grew increasingly clear and intense, enormous figures emerged consecutively on the battlefield.

“Giant? It’s the Giant race!”

“So many giants. Are they planning to attack our Rising Sun City?”

Inside the city, many soldiers felt a tightening in their hearts.

Towering over ten meters, the giants ran across the land, wielding various colossal weapons. Taking large strides forward, each step they took covered several dozen yards, with the mountains and rivers beneath their feet.

What was most terrifying was that these giants had fierce and grim faces, filled with cold indifference. Some had human-like features and bodies, while others had beast-like forms, exuding a violent aura.

Their arrival on the battlefield imposed a sense of immense pressure.

“The Giant race has many types. These aren’t ordinary giants. They’re giant monsters.”

Li Xiang narrowed his eyes.

These giants were similar to the ones he had seen before, belonging to the most formidable race among the attacking giants. They were extremely brutal and fearsome. Most importantly, the number of giants emerging on the battlefield was overwhelming. One after another charged toward Rising Sun City.

“Fire warning shots!” Li Xiang commanded.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A hail of arrows rained down, landing directly in front of the giants’ advancing steps with unparalleled precision.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

However, the giants showed no response and continued to approach Rising Sun City relentlessly, their icy gaze indicating their intention to besiege the city.

Upon realizing this, shouting ceased on the city walls.

One by one, the soldiers swiftly deployed defensive measures on the walls. Archers had their bows and arrows ready, while crossbowmen had their crossbows loaded with bolts. Formidable mounted crossbows were prepared on the walls, with massive crossbow arrows aimed at the battlefield. The giants would be attacked without delay the moment they entered striking range.

“These giants seem to be somewhat unusual.”

Zhou Qing furrowed his brows slightly, instinctively sensing something peculiar, but he could not quite put his finger on it.

There were far too many giants, numbering at least fifty to sixty thousand. Each one emitted an aura surpassing that of mythical beings. With the destructive power of giants, once they approached, they could directly launch an attack on the city walls, causing catastrophic devastation.

“Since they refuse to heed the warning, then let them be killed!”

Li Xiang’s gaze turned steely. He also sensed something strange from these giants. They emerged after the meteor shower fell on the Mythical Battlefield. He would never believe that there was nothing supernatural about it. However, no matter where these giants came from or how strong they were, they all deserved to die for attempting to assault Rising Sun City,

On the city walls, the soldiers looked coldly at the approaching giants.

Although the giants’ massive bodies were imposing, they posed little threat to the soldiers. Some of them had fought alongside Li Xiang and slain giants before. The giants were not terrifying. A precise strike to their vital points could still kill them.

The Human race was not inferior to any other race, even giants. This was the confidence forged by the Dawn warriors, born from their battles.

“Mounted crossbows, fire!”

As the giant army approached within five kilometers of Rising Sun City, swift commands were issued.

Mounted crossbows possessed impressive attack power, and their range was also remarkably long. In ancient times, the attack range of mounted crossbows could reach around one thousand five hundred meters. Within this range lay the effective striking distance of mounted crossbows, where their strength and destructive force were at their peak.

After modifications and the infusion of runic power, even the materials used far surpassed those of ancient times. The bowstrings of mounted crossbows were crafted from the tendons of powerful and fierce beasts, making them sturdy and resilient. The destructive power they unleashed was even more formidable.

The dedicated crossbow arrows used were larger than regular ones.

At this moment, the mounted crossbows placed on the city walls were not ordinary ones. They were modified to simultaneously release seven massive crossbow arrows. On the battlefield, their destructive power was even greater, and it was difficult to evade their attacks. Once fired, the crossbow arrows spread out in the shape of a fan, covering the entire strike zone.

This was the masterpiece created by Lu Miaozi through countless modifications during warfare.

The key requirement for this was high-quality materials. The attack power of the crossbow arrows relied on the strength of the mounted crossbows, which came from the bowstrings. Only the tendons of powerful and ferocious beasts could forge such exceptional bowstrings. They could instantly fire seven arrows without compromising the power of the mounted crossbows.

These invincible mounted crossbows were named “Army Shattering Ballista,” implying that once they were unleashed, they could obliterate thousands of troops.

“Fire!”

Amidst the commanding shouts, the Army Shattering Ballista on the city walls erupted in an instant.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The mounted crossbows launched the arrows, and each one burst forth like lightning.

These arrows spread out in a magnificent fan shape, gleaming with splendid divine light.

The seven arrows were the Armor-Piercing Arrow, the Flaming Arrow, the Frost Arrow, the Gale Arrow, the Gravity Arrow, the Flash Arrow, and the Thunder Arrow. Each arrow radiated an enchanting glow.

Swift!

They moved so swiftly that everyone could only see streaks of light darting toward the giant army. The tremendous power contained within the arrows created a crisp tearing sound as they sliced through the air.

Roar!

Once it hit a giant, each thick and massive arrow would undoubtedly pierce through its entire body. The sheer size of the arrows would make them unbearable.

Upon seeing the approaching arrows, the giants reacted immediately.
With angry roars, the giants swung their war sabers. Some attempted to cleave the arrows, while others wielded hammers to smash them.
