    Bang!  With a muffled sound, a huge iron shield was inserted into the ground, and the heavy force caused the shield tip to penetrate deep into the soil for several minutes.  Immediately afterwards, using the shield as the base point, hundreds of giant shields were connected in a line, and they were deeply inserted into the ground at the same time, making a uniform dull sound, as if a steel wall suddenly appeared on the ground.  Then, hundreds of warriors, all wrapped in thick jumpsuits and holding war hammers, stepped forward and stood on their knees behind the giant shield. With the sound of their footsteps, even the earth seemed to tremble.  These warriors are all extremely tall, and their whole bodies are wrapped in silver-white heavy armor. They wear face-covering helmets, with only a "T"-shaped gap left on the front of the helmet for eyes to see and mouth and nose to breathe.  They held a shield in one hand and a war hammer in the other, motionless, and looked like steel statues from a distance.  On the breastplates of these warriors, they are all engraved with a huge lightning cross emblem. If you have a little knowledge of religion, you will know that it is the sacred symbol represented by God King Tyron in the Sidonis sect.  And there is only one kind of soldier who can use this holy emblem as an army emblem, and that is one of the three famous divinely chosen legions in the Sidonis sect: the Armored Monk Corps!  The soldiers of this legion are all selected from the monks and priests with the strongest physiques and the most staunch beliefs in the sect. They undergo rigorous training and wear heavy armor, thus becoming a terrifying presence on the battlefield like an iron wall.  If it were to compare with the lethality and solid defense in positional warfare, any army on this continent would probably have to give in three points.  As the absolute ace main force of the Sidonis sect, the Armored Monk Corps has always stayed in the royal capital to guard the sect¡¯s headquarters to deal with the elite force of the Croat military: the Central Iron Guard, so it rarely appears on other battlefields.  However, at this moment, they appear here. What kind of enemy is worthy of the Sidonis sect using such elites?  If you look away from these armored warriors and look at the entire battlefield, you can see that behind the iron wall composed of the Armored Monk Corps, there is a dense sea of ??people.  These people were arranged in neat square formations of various sizes, arranged in different positions behind the shield wall. They were in an orderly manner and looked like a neat battle formation.  From the flags flying between the square formations, you can tell that this is the army of the Sidonian sect.  The fanatical and rigorously trained believers are no less than the best soldiers. The neat ranks are in bright armor, and the spears raised high emit a bright cold light in the sun. Everyone is silent and looks solemnly.  A strong murderous aura filled the air.  This huge army has nearly 100,000 people. In the last war against the Lavit Federation, the Sidonis sect, which suffered heavy losses, was able to dispatch so many troops at once. This is probably their entire elite.  So, who is their enemy?  If you move your eyes to the other side, you can see a huge city standing a hundred meters in front of the Sidonis cult army.  This city stands in the center of an open wilderness. The huge city wall, which is tens of meters high, is centered on the side facing the Sidonian sect's army, extending to the east and west sides, turning at the extreme end that can be seen.  Thus surrounding a giant circular city.  The wide and flat roads are like streams flowing into huge lakes. They converge from all directions in the wilderness to this kind of city. If you look down from a high altitude, the city is like a sun radiating rays of light all around.  Judging from its geographical location, this giant city is undefeable, but it has the most convenient transportation center in the area.  It seems that the original city builders¡¯ first consideration was not the defense of the city, but the convenience of transportation, and the existence of this city was also to connect the transportation arteries to all directions.  There is only one such peculiar city full of merchant characteristics in the entire Veronica continent, and that is Sonali, the capital of the Ravit Federation of Commerce and Trade!  ***************************************************  **************** Under the precarious situation in Crote, the Sidonis sect arrayed all their elites in front of Sonali City, showing that they were desperate to make the final move.  Determination to give it a try.  Once defeated at Sonali City, it means the failure of the strategy to capture the Ravit Federation, and the entire sect will face catastrophe.  Understanding the significance of this battle, the entire army, although silent, burst out with an unprecedented strong momentum, so dignified that even the sunlight seemed to dim.  Suddenly, a long trumpet sound sounded in the silent battlefield, and the two arrays of soldiers began to move forward slowly.  The nuns at the rear of the battlefield collectively recited poems that encouraged the warriors to fight for the god-king Tyran, and the melodious chants echoed throughout the whole place.The battlefield made the soldiers' eyes become more determined.  At the same time, Sonali City also responded. The flag of the Ravit Federation was raised high, and groups of archers appeared on the wall, watching the enemy's approach with bows and arrows.  Although the Necromancer has turned the entire Ravit Federation into chaos, many mercenaries and soldiers still took up arms and defended Sonali to the death in the face of a war in which their homeland was invaded.  Obviously they also understand that once Sonali is lost, the only thing waiting for them is the destruction of the country.  Neither side had any reason to give in, and the war broke out under such circumstances.  "Shoot, kill those invaders!" On the Sonali city wall, the mercenary officer in charge shouted an order. The archers who had been preparing for a long time released their bow strings, and thousands of arrows shot out.  Flying towards the approaching Sidonis soldiers.  Swish, swish, swish With a series of muffled sounds, a large number of the sectarian soldiers in the front row fell down. However, supported by the fanatical religious beliefs, the soldiers behind did not show any fear and continued to move forward without stopping.  After the Sonali defenders fired the fourth round of arrows, the Sidonis soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city wall.  The soldiers carrying the tall ladder worked together to set up the ladder. The iron hook at the top of the ladder bit the wall brick, and then the sectarian soldiers in charge of the assault began to climb up desperately.  However, it was impossible to capture such a fortified city with ladders alone. The archers defending the city moved to both sides and continued to pour arrows at the enemy troops below the city.  At the same time, a large number of mercenaries rushed to the position in front of the ladder.  Soon, the first group of death squads of sectarian soldiers rushed up, but most of them were mercilessly slaughtered before they even set foot on the wall.  The people responsible for the defense are all the most elite mercenaries.  These people have experienced hundreds of battles and are well-equipped. On normal days, each of them has extremely amazing employment value. In terms of individual soldier quality, they are even inferior to the three chosen legions of the Gods that the Sidonis sect is proud of.  With them defending the city wall, it can be said to be a real iron wall.  Ordinary sect soldiers are naturally no match for these elite mercenaries. Although they have the most fanatical beliefs, they still cannot make up for the huge difference in combat power.  Although the soldiers behind were still climbing up continuously, no one could gain a foothold on the city wall.  Under the skilled and efficient swordsmanship of the mercenaries, a large number of corpses were soon piled up on the wall in front of each ladder, with blood spilling out. The situation was extremely tragic.  It seems that a strong attack of this scale cannot shake the tight defense of Sonali City. Even if the sect soldiers continue to fight, they will only die.  However, the truly terrifying thing lies behind.  Although they were carrying out an almost desperate attack and no one who climbed the city wall survived, the sect soldiers behind showed no signs of stopping.  It was as if their timidity and fear had been drained away from them. Faced with an attack that they knew was fatal, they still swarmed up the city wall without hesitation.  Kill one, and another will come, and kill them again, and two more will come up In an endless stream, the soldiers guarding the city are like facing a group of puppets who regard death as nothing.  Although the mercenaries in charge of defense are all elites who have struggled on the line of life and death countless times and have long been numb to the killings on the battlefield, they are determined to face such a group of enemies who are not afraid of death and whose expressions remain unchanged even if they are struck by swords.  His will can't help but drain away bit by bit.  The long sword pierced the human body, breaking the muscles, cutting off the bones, and smashing the internal organs without any accident. Blood spurted out from the wound and flowed to the ground along the blood groove of the sword body However, the usual crying could not be heard.  Howling and screaming, facing the weapon that pierced the chest and chopped open the body, the enemy on the opposite side remained silent. At most, he grunted, making you feel that what you hit was not a person at all, but just an active, capable person.  Bleeding chunks of flesh.  Then, the opponent shouted the name of God King Tai Lun with blood spurting from his mouth, and his eyes were dancing with fanatical flames. No matter how seriously injured he was, as long as he still had breath, he would raise the weapon in his hand and slash at him at all costs, until  Only when he was completely exhausted would he fall to the ground.  Such an opponent is enough to cut off anyone's will. Gradually, the flying swords in the hands of the mercenaries slowed down. The hands holding the sword hilt began to slip because of the accumulation of too much blood. There was hesitation in their eyes.  With fear, the footsteps that were originally clinging to the wall like wooden stakes also began to move back unknowingly.  Not long after, with a loud scream, the mercenaries guarding the city suffered casualties for the first time.  After a tall mercenary pierced the body of a sect soldier, his arm was cut off because he had no time to draw his sword.  The mercenary with a broken arm retreated with horror on his face. In his eyes, he saw an enemy who had been stabbed through his body by his giant sword, but his face was still full of fanaticism, and he could not see any pain at all., are not human beings at all, but undead souls pouring out from hell.  "The sect soldier on the opposite side didn't care about the weapons still in his body. His eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and he stepped on the pool of blood under his feet, waving his long sword and rushed towards the mercenary.  He is not afraid of death at all, because now he has only one purpose in mind, which is to kill the enemies of the sect and seize the city!  Even if he dies because of this, his soul will definitely go to the paradise where God King Tyron lives after death.  All the sect soldiers who participated in this battle no, including the 100,000 troops under the city, all had the same belief. After realizing that the sect they were loyal to had no retreat, they all made up their minds to die.  And this is the most terrifying thing about the Sidonian sect's army.  ¡°Whoa, whoever, come and stop him!¡± The frightened mercenary asked his companions around him for help.  Several mercenaries were immediately around and slashed at him with swords. However, the sharp blades pierced the body of the crazy sect soldier, but they could not stop him at all.  The sect soldiers were covered in blood, and they just rushed forward with the sword in their hands raised high, and they were about to chop off the head of the amputated mercenary.  In the critical moment, a tall mercenary rushed forward and cut the sect soldier in half with an ax in his hand. With blood splashing and organs rolling down, the sect soldier finally fell to the ground.  However, before the broken-armed mercenary could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt his ankle tighten. He looked down in shock and saw that the sect soldier with only half of his body struggled to crawl up two steps and reached out to grab his foot.  "Quick, pull him away, this guy is not a human at all, he is a monster!" The mercenary with a broken arm finally couldn't bear such a terrible situation. He kicked his feet desperately and tried to shake off the cultist's hand.  While screaming in terror.  The mercenaries on the side hurriedly tried to open the hands of the sect soldiers, but even though the soldiers were dead, their fingers were like iron hoops and could not be opened at all.  In desperation, one mercenary had to cut off his hand at the wrist, and then everyone took the mercenary who was almost mentally broken down.  Looking at the sect soldiers with only half of them left on the ground, but their eyes widening with anger, everyone around them couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.  Many of them have fought against the Sidonius sect before, but this time the enemy has such strong resentment, which still makes them shudder.  Everyone looked at each other with pale faces, what kind of opponents are we facing *********************************  *************************************** Under the constant impact of the Sidonian sect soldiers who were fearless and fearless of death,  The defenders began to suffer casualties gradually.  Although these mercenaries were all elites who had experienced hundreds of battles, the enemy's indifference to death gave them a great mental impact. Many of them had their hearts and minds stolen, and finally suffered at the hands of the crazy cultists.  The commander who noticed something strange on the city wall immediately sent out new troops to replace the mercenaries who had already killed people until they became weak.  As new defenders were added, the mercenaries who had been fighting for a long time withdrew to the rear. Although they only suffered very few losses compared to the enemy's casualties, each of these people looked tired, their eyes were unfocused, and they had lingering fears in their expressions.  The fear showed that the battle just now gave them a great shock.  The ensuing battle did not last long. With a large number of combat casualties, the sect's offensive finally slowed down.  Not long after, as the retreat horn sounded in the Sidonis army camp, the remaining soldiers finally withdrew.  At this time, corpses were piled up like mountains on the stretching city walls and under the city, and blood flowed everywhere. The flowing blood seeped out along the gaps in the city bricks, leaving scarlet traces on the city walls.  Although the vast majority of those who died in the battle were soldiers of the Sidonian sect, the Lavit army defending the city could not see the slightest joy of victory.  The battle just now made them clearly aware of the enemy's determination to capture the city, as well as the enemy's terrifying fighting will that regards death as nothing.  Therefore, despite the victory, there was an atmosphere of despair among the defenders.  Facing such an opponent, can we still defend Sonali City?  Looking at the dark enemy troops outside the city, almost everyone gave a negative answer in their hearts And in the Sidonis army formation on the other side, all the sect soldiers witnessed the entire scene of this tragic siege.  During the process, he watched the corpses being thrown down from the city wall one after another and piled up like a mountain under the city, while the remaining companions retreated from the pile of dead people, but no one wavered.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  Behind the battle formation, on a command platform built of logs, Sidonis taughtThe commanders who sent troops were also looking at the battle that had just ended.  "Archbishop Quaifard, I don't understand. This is just the first battle. The enemy is very powerful. Why do you send out two battalions of the most loyal commandos to die?" At this time, a young commander was looking at him with a displeased face.  Xie asked an old man.  The man known as Archbishop Quaifard is about 60 years old, tall and with white hair.  He was wearing a robe that represented the status of an archbishop. His face was full of tense muscles, and his wrinkles were as deep as a knife. His eyes were cold and sharp, and he had the temperament of a believer with the most steadfast faith, as strong as a rock.  After hearing this, Quaifard turned his head and gave the commander a cold look: "No one here will die, they are just going to reach the paradise of God King Tyron first." Realizing the flaw in his words, the commander's forehead  Sweat broke out immediately, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Archbishop, please forgive my ignorance. I never meant to question their beliefs." "It doesn't matter, I understand what you mean." Quaifard said.  Waving his hand: "If it were an ordinary battle, I should indeed use ordinary soldiers to attack the city in turns first, and then send them out after the enemy's strength is weakened. However, I no longer have time to do this." "In Croat,  The military's army may launch an attack at any time, and the few troops we have left behind will never be able to stop them. Currently, hundreds of thousands of ordinary believers and their families are still stranded in the occupied area in eastern Lavit, waiting for us to capture Solo.  "Nali." "If the battle cannot be resolved in a short period of time, we will be attacked from two sides, and the entire sect will have to be completely wiped out." "My subordinates also understand the urgency of the matter."  Gritting his teeth, he said bluntly: "However, such an attack at any cost can certainly demoralize the enemy, but it will also waste our most elite soldiers in vain. In the end, I am afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss." The two battalions of soldiers who were just dispatched  , composed of the most steadfast believers in the Sidonian sect.  These people are truly not afraid of death, and out of their crazy loyalty to the sect, they fight extremely fervently. They are far superior to ordinary sect soldiers. They are the most elite warriors of the Sidonis sect besides the three chosen legions.  Such elite soldiers, even in an army of 100,000, are only a few battalions.  Just now, Quaifard had no regrets in consuming two of the battalions, but it only severely dampened the enemy's morale and did not help much in the siege. No wonder the young commander felt so regretful.  At this time, another elderly bishop on the side snorted: "Isn't it any wonder that Archbishop Quafad didn't know? But don't forget, it is not difficult to capture Sonali. The real threat to us is the army  The undead army has disappeared so far. If we don¡¯t deal with them first, we won¡¯t be able to attack the city with all our strength. " "Is it because Archbishop is doing this" the young commander gradually understood.  Quaifard did not answer him, but cast his resolute gaze on the blood-stained Sonali city wall: "Now, the enemy already knows our determination. The necromancers hidden in the city should also understand that they will not  Take action, the city will fall." "Come out, you disgusting undead." At the same time, inside Sonali City.  In the prosperous city of Sonali, the rolling roofs stretch out like a undulating ocean. On the side near the city gate, there is a tall clock tower.  At the top of the clock tower, Denek and Emil were watching the battle taking place on the city wall.  "What a terrible enemy." Watching the soldiers defending the city throwing the corpses of the sect soldiers off the city wall, Emil praised: "In the Mojina continent, even if it is the black armored cavalry regiment of the Lulin Empire, or the orcs  None of the empire's troops have such an amazing fighting will. " "President, you see, the morale of our defenders has been completely destroyed. It seems that it is impossible to defend Sonali City." He said in the end.  asserted.  Denek was not surprised. It seemed that the fall of Sonali City was not a big deal to him.  He sneered: "Those lunatics sent so many people to die at one time just to prove their determination to us. It seems that they want to force our troops outside." "Then what are you going to do?"  Mir asked.  Deneke did not answer, but asked: "How are you doing over there?" Emil nodded: "It's all done." "Very good." Deneke smiled: "Then  "There is nothing left to miss in this city." "Are you really going to do this?" Emil turned his head.  Denecke said without hesitation: "That's right.??Everything went according to plan.  You go tell Depero and ask him to send someone to inform Edward and Cyrus that we can start.  "Hmph, since those guys want to force out our army, then let them do what they want."  "    "Understood.  "Emil nodded, turned around and walked towards the bottom of the clock tower. After Emil left, Denek stood alone for a moment. He slowly turned his head, looked at the whole city under the clock tower, and finally sighed. "Although it is very rare.  It's a pity, but it is true that this place cannot be saved.  But before that, we give you a taste of the horror of the undead.  "(To be continued.)
