Chapter 1262: Heavy Losses

Several minutes of bombardment had shocked the Dongsheng troops, but it did not shake their morale, as they continued to approach the trench slowly under the protection of their shields, then started setting up trench bridges.

It was at this moment that the Demon Clan troops atop the city finally opened fire. The first noise to erupt was a round of rifle shots, producing clouds of blue smoke over the walls, followed closely by direct crossbow fire.

Under the attack of the Demon Clan's defending forces, casualties began to appear among the Dongsheng troops below. Although the rifles and crossbows struggled to penetrate the thick shields used for cover, not everyone had the protection of a shield. Those who were exposed became the first round's victims.
