- Thanks to my friends [I have a little donkey] and [so] for their support, thank you for your support!
Asking for support with red tickets!
The time goes back to the previous day, October 16th.
On this day, the Holy Gabriel Crusaders all over the mainland were still attacking cities and plundering territory as usual.
Although His Majesty the Pope unusually did not hold a meeting of the College of Cardinals for several consecutive days, as good news came one after another from the front line, the cardinals had already determined that they had a chance to win the entire war, and even began to figure out how to carve up those rich products. Parish.
But before the sun set, members of the Inquisition holding urgent letters appeared one after another in front of the papal hall, interrupting the beautiful thoughts of these bishops.
For some unknown reason, His Majesty Giovanni never received them in person, but instead gave the Cardinals full authority to handle the news - so, after hearing these battle reports, the old masters of the Cardinals were completely dumbfounded
The wind has changed.
News about the war began to spread among the Cardinals. The old stickmen who had cheered for the war suddenly discovered a fact - those cities that seemed to be resisting hard and almost fell into the hands of the Jihadi Army seemed to be suddenly under control. At this moment, a collective counterattack was launched.
? These parchments only use words to describe the situations in which armies encountered powerful enemies, but in any case, the cardinals would not have thought of what kind of terrible blow the Jihadi Army was facing
There are currently four cities on the mainland that are struggling to resist the Jihadi Army and the Infernal Beasts - in addition to the Byzantine Murentar, the "Pisburg" built on the mountain in Fording, and the "Budak Fortress" on the rugged Kaslandi Mountain Road " and the imperial city of Balice "Butiga" are both cities that the Jihadi Army is currently conquering. Among them, Byzantium was the focus of the battle that invested the most troops, while the remaining three cities did not invest more than 70,000 troops. They relied more on the infernal beasts to harass and consume.
According to the past situation, even these besieged cities have never taken the initiative to send troops to engage the enemy. Therefore, the Jihadi Army has completely relaxed their vigilance and almost forgotten the possibility that the enemy will leave the city
So, on this dusk of October 16th, the arrogant Jihadist Army paid a heavy price for their pride.
East Baliche, the gate of Butijia is in danger.
The constantly rotating soldiers of the Jihadi Army attacked the city from three directions, forming an encirclement posture. The trebuchets had smashed the city wall completely away from its original appearance. Dead bodies were everywhere. The Barricie soldiers who resisted tenaciously were The walls of the city were throwing logs, stones and boiling oil down hard. The light of the mage's spell flashed, and several fireballs or ice cones fell into the vast sea of ??people, but not even a wave splashed out.
His Majesty Hasselblad stood at the top of the city in military uniform, personally leading the army to fight against the enemy. Although his arrival brought encouragement to the soldiers, the soldiers had been really tired from the enemy who had been attacking for almost a month. At this time, they were facing In response to the enemy's crazy attack, they no longer cheered with high morale at the beginning. Because of the existence of the magicians, the soldiers of the Jihad Army have almost nothing to fear - injured soldiers can be quickly healed by the magicians. In contrast, the morale of the soldiers in Baliche has become increasingly low, and they are used to defend the enemy. The city's supplies were even more scarce due to the sudden attack. Nowadays, many soldiers are picking up the rubble smashed by trebuchets and throwing them down.
His Majesty Hassu frowned, because his close minister Hutto was shot and wounded in the previous battle, so no one was standing by his side at this time. But this monarch looked at the enemy troops under the city wall and muttered words that others could not hear.
"When it gets dark, when it gets dark, it's already dark, why start?"
His Majesty Mokeledi clenched the long sword in his hand, and was mentally prepared to live and die with the city - the gate of the city wall was already crumbling under the attack of the enemy, and the nobles of the kingdom who could be used now were basically in the defensive war some time ago. At this time, the only few generals who could be trusted were under the city gate, armed with three cavalry teams and three infantry regiments in accordance with the king's requirements, waiting for his orders.
Of course, these soldiers did not know that what they were waiting for was actually an order from Archduke Morpheus.
The Jihadi Army seemed to have a premonition that they would be able to break through the city today, so they simply doubled the number of reserves to follow, causing the entire Butijia defense line to begin to tighten on a large scale. In order to allow the soldiers to see at night, torches were lit one by one, and the gods The magicians also occasionally cast one or two "illumination spells". Under the white-gold light, the bloody battlefield was covered with noisy shouts of killing. Mokeledi looked at the last disappearing sunlight on the horizon, standing still, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or despair.
Didn¡¯t you come?
With a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, His Majesty Hasselblad sighed deeply. The despair after full of expectations is like being stabbedThe sharp knife with barbs only feels cool when inserted, but the pain of pulling it out is really unbearable.
And just when the monarch was dying, in the distance, a white light that was very different from divine magic seemed to flash on the horizon.
The darkened ground was dotted with a sea of ??torches. The appearance of those few beams of white light was not eye-catching, but because the light appeared in a somewhat subtle position, Mokeledi suddenly fired up 120,000 people. He looked there distractedly and said involuntarily: "Coming?"
What answered him was the sudden row of orange-red light beams that almost illuminated the entire battlefield.
Lampard sent troops.
At the appointed moment, through the teleportation array buried under the surface in advance, and with the help of the powerful energy of the Shida Tree, 900 mages and 2,000 heavy infantry were teleported to the rear of the Jihadi army camp attacking Butijia. .
Then, with unstoppable power, they launched perhaps the most terrifying intensive magic attack in the history of the continent.
The Jihadists who were charging forward excitedly did not expect that there would be less than 3,000 people behind them. As they were running towards the Butijia city wall, they suddenly felt a bright light appear behind them - the shadow in front of them was suddenly pulled. Very long, and then the soldiers found that the shadow began to get shorter, and the light became brighter and brighter
"That is¡ª¡ª"
"Magic?"
"No, this is¡ª¡ª"
"Boom"
Thousands of soldiers in the military camp screamed, but the next moment, they were completely submerged in an explosion that sounded like a landslide.
Although the nine hundred magicians who passed the Sunderland test have different levels, they have one biggest feature, that is, they can all launch powerful spells at least ten times in the shortest time. At first glance, it seems that They are of the same level as the mages on the walls of Butijia, but in fact, when nine hundred mages cast spells in a group, even the simplest fireball spell is more powerful than half of the large-scale destructive forbidden spells!
Nine hundred fireballs covered almost the entire camp of the Holy War, creating a sea of ????fire in an instant, and the explosion and high temperature directly wiped out the corpses of more than 5,000 soldiers who were originally in a dense formation!
The remaining soldiers were frightened by this natural disaster-like attack. They wanted to run, but found that there was a sea of ????fire everywhere; they wanted to put out the fire, but they saw the overwhelming second wave of fireballs coming once again.
Hasselblad Mokeledi, a bystander on the city wall, had extremely complicated expressions at this time, including shock, joy, and more, horror.
All around were the sounds of soldiers gasping due to surprise and shock. The incandescent light when the fire exploded made their eyes sting at the moment, but as the mage group's second, third and even tenth time Casting a spell, this shock gradually turned into numbness. By the time the Jihadi Army under the city wall completely collapsed and dispersed, they were all like blind and deafened wooden stakes, standing there in a daze, and even collectively forgot about themselves. What to do.
Out of the 70,000 jihadist troops, the 40,000 Chinese troops left behind suffered a devastating blow in just ten minutes. The concept of a "thousand-man mage group" is unprecedented. The largest group of mage attacks recorded before was only thirty-seven people. Therefore, except for the mage group of the Principality of Lampard itself, almost no one can remain calm at this moment. Face the scene in front of you.
The "Jihadi Army" was defeated.
Commander Maxim took a big breath and found that he was so defeated that he didn't even have a chance to breathe.
When he escaped in the chaotic and blazing sea of ????fire with a sacred shield, he couldn't even find a judge who could convey the order. Only corpses burned to death by the high temperature were left in his field of vision. There was almost no one alive within a meter.
Fortunately, there were still 2,000 cavalry remnants that were not included in the attack range. Maxim saw them trying to launch a desperate charge against Lampard's army of less than 3,000 people - and in the other direction, they were always wandering in the darkness. The hundreds of thousands of purgatory beasts finally stopped hiding their strength at this moment, broke through the shady curtain, and launched a pincer attack from both front and rear.
But these Crusader Knights would never have imagined that the destruction that greeted them would be tens of thousands of crossbow bolts fired by two thousand infantrymen within ten seconds and another round of magic storm baptism.
Of the more than two thousand Holy War knights, only two hundred or so knights were lucky enough to rush to the infantry shield formation. However, when they collided with these strong "Chosen Ones" wearing heavy armor, the consequences were that they themselves and their horses were killed. Being knocked down directly
These are the two thousand most powerful people in Lampard's infantry sequence. The strength of each of them is comparable to the senior officers and even generals of the Holy War Army, not to mention the sophisticated equipment that faintly exudes magic fluctuations. Advantage.
Maxim¡¯s despairWith all this, I feel completely hopeless.
The 130,000 purgatory beasts coming from the other direction were already approaching and immediately surrounded the team of 3,000 people. At this time, Morpheus, who was standing in the team, had not taken action at all. He just lowered his head and said something to Joan of Arc, who was wearing a white robe next to him. The latter nodded, raised his finger to the sky, and released a song that shocked everyone. The magic of "Purifying Aura".
It is not a "holy light" or any other destructive spell, but a halo that can only be used to dispel disease and dark atmosphere, and at most make undead creatures feel uncomfortable.
While the defenders of Balice on the city wall were stunned, no one knew that although this halo seemed useless, it actually had an advantage that other divine spells could not match, that is, its range of action.
If anyone notices the faint ripples on the ground, they will find that hundreds of thousands of purgatory beasts are all enveloped in the halo.
The soldiers of the Jihad Army, who had been completely maimed, saw the frightening herd of beasts rushing towards them in the dark night, and their faces were pale with fear. When they saw the extended "purification halo", their expressions changed. The collective was stunned for a moment, followed immediately by despair: Does Lampard's army plan to rely on this halo to fight against hundreds of thousands of infernal beasts?
But when Morpheus gently stretched out his hand and put it on Joan's shoulder, everything began to change.
Perhaps since Morpheus fused the fragments of the holy spear in the deep sea and broke through, not many people knew that he had left the "¦¸" level and entered a higher "demigod". But I believe that after this battle, people across the continent will definitely begin to understand why people with strength before the "¦¸" level can only be called humans, and after crossing this level, they are called "demigods."
An invisible pressure suddenly swept around with Joan as the center - on the burning battlefield, it seemed like a heavy hammer was hitting everyone's heart. The moment Morpheus closed his eyes slightly, the purifying halo gave off an unprecedented holy light, and then 130,000 purgatory beasts began to shine in this light.
