The tree trunks were easy to burn, and using this method could only temporarily avoid the sea of flames to create a path. One would still be scorched by the heat, and the trunks would be quickly burned up. These paths would not last for long.

The other soldiers of the alliance could not use this method, as it would be no different from suicide.

But if it was the Khitans… that was another matter entirely!

"Use steel plates to help them create a path!"

The others also began to realize what was going on.

In the earlier battle, many shield carts had been destroyed. Now, numerous alliance soldiers worked together to push these destroyed shield carts into the sea of flames to help the Khitans open a path.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Thousands of shield carts were cast into the sea of flames.

With the help of the alliance warriors, the force of the fire finally began to weaken, and the path of tree trunks extended all the way to the wall.

"Go!"

With a sharp bellow, the tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers crossed the path made of more than one hundred tree trunks.

Even more astonishing was that while the first wave of Khitans crossed the path barefoot, those behind them rode atop horses.

The round trunks were very unstable, and it would be very easy for horses to misstep or make the logs shift. But the Khitan cavalry seemed to be riding across level ground, displaying their masterful horsemanship. Besides one or two who accidentally fell into the flames, the other riders crossed smoothly.

With the thundering of hooves, thousands of Khitan warriors gathered beneath the walls.

Clang!

A moment later, these bright-eyed Khitan warriors took out ropes that they flung up the walls.

Sharp hooks attached to ropes that had been reinforced with steel wire flew up and latched onto the top of the walls. The Khitan warriors swiftly began to climb the ropes, holding their weapons in their mouths as they agilely scaled the walls like monkeys.

This agility and speed left all the other alliance soldiers in the dust.
