Chapter Two Hundred and Fiftieth Chapter Wangdu Offensive and Defensive Battle
After saying goodbye to William Celia, the elves each rode their own gray eagles, spread out their giant eagles and suddenly snatched their giant eagles and flew into the sky quickly, and soon turned into small black dots and disappeared into everyone's eyes.
At the same time, the Holy Glory Empire...
A huge and ancient city still stands on the plain, shrouded in a layer of magic shield. The shimmer of the shield slight swells slightly due to the flow of magic power, making the entire capital look like a heart that is slowly beating. Outside the southwest and southeast walls of this "heart", there are constant flashes over the two solid fortresses.
Outside the city, a twisted and wriggling "tide" was slowly devouring the defense line of the Holy Light Empire King Capital, but was blocked again and again by the flashes of the two fortresses - those flashes were burning stone bullets, enchanted crossbow arrows, and magic missiles released by the Mage Tower.
The Holy Glorious Empire has accumulated more than a thousand years of foundation and is facing the most difficult test since its founding.
...
In the palace, King Guangyao, dressed in gorgeous clothes and a long sword with royal patterns on his waist. Wilson II stopped on the trail, reached out and caught a petal from the ornamental tree outside the temple, and then let go with a expressionless face.
Behind him, the fully armed Imperial Marshal Gold and Silver Lion Rama stopped, and the armor of several knights who stopped together made a metallic impact.
Gold and Silver Lion Rama asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty?"
"They didn't say that before. They said they were just helping me suppress the church, but..." Guangyao. Wilson II whispered, "If this continues, even if the church is removed from the empire in the Church of Holy Light, is there any possibility that our entire empire will exist?"
Gold and Silver Lion. Rama lowered his head in shame: "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. If I don't cooperate with that group of people..."
Guangyao. Wilson II sighed slightly: "I don't blame you, it's too late anyway.
Now the king cannot be broken no matter what. Let’s go up to the city wall. I’m afraid that the king will not last long if he relies on the church alone!”
"Yes." Rama straightened his body, tapped his left chest, then turned around and led the knights away quickly.
A huge lightning arc split the air, accompanied by strong flashes and a series of explosions bombarded the city wall in the southeast. The huge royal capital magic shield rippled layer by layer, eliminating the impact of the arc invisible, leaving only a remaining piece of electric light licking the shield and scattering everywhere in the air outside the city wall.
The soldiers were shaking the east and west, and a knight wearing a royal badge cloak was the first to climb out of the crowd, lifting his sword and shouting at the top of his lungs: "Boxgate - take the enchanted arrows!!"
The knight's inspiration halo spread around, allowing the soldiers who were ordinary people to quickly restore their ability to move. The soldiers rushed to the nearest crossbow cart and the platform with arrows piled up, and began to quickly prepare for counterattack - the so-called "arrow" of the city defense crossbow cannon is actually a standard-sized spear. The steel arrows are inlaid with a little bit of slight schizol. The casters guarded next to the crossbow cart. After seeing the soldiers put new arrows into the groove, they immediately injected magic power into the Mischizol.
A "bang" sounded, and the huge "arrow" with a flash of light from the arrow broke out into the air. Before the magic power contained in the Mischia silver completely dissipated, they had already fallen into the surging terrifying tide on the plain. A flash burst out at the fall point, and then a small explosion of fire rose into the air.
On the city wall, the knight raised his sword again and shouted loudly: "Reinstall - aim!" "Let it go!!"
The second round of enchanted crossbow arrows fell to the battlefield, and accompanied by the huge arrows flying out together, there were also large arcane missiles fired from the mage tower behind the city wall. The second round of strikes exploded a ball of even greater fire among the monsters, which was in return for an equally grand counterattack - even the chaotic monsters had the instinct to counterattack, and the storm-like abyss magic and the impact of abyss species arrived immediately.
Some spellcasters who were devoured by the abyss to infect consciousness can instinctively cast their memory instinct before being infected even if their consciousness is chaotic. Some lightning spells, fireballs and other spells blasted towards the king capital in one go.
A holy white light came just right, blocking the caster arcs infected by the abyss before it began to consume the magic shield of the capital. The high-level clergy in a simple white robe slowly walked up to the city wall. His hands were slightly opened, and the holy light floated in the air beside him, resonating with the entire team of holy light casters behind him.
"The Church of Holy Light has arrived!" The knights who commanded the defense line here shouted in surprise, "Everyone resets, reinstalls, and continues to fight back!!"
A large number of Holy Light Priests in white robes and Holy Light Knights in white armor ran up the city wall from behind this high-level clergy. While releasing various magical techniques to help resist the attacks of the abyss monsters, they began to quickly heal the injured soldiers. Even with the existence of magic shields, not all attacks could be blocked. Occasionally, lightning shots cast by infected spellcasters penetrated the shield and caused shock waves when violent shocks would cause casualties to the soldiers guarding the city. The priests who mastered the healing ability were particularly important at this time.
Various shouts filled the surroundings, sometimes mixed with the explosion of fighting spirit, the resonance of shields, and the sounds of bows and crossbows fired, as if filled with hell of death and war.
And at the same time, another section of the city wall not far away.
His Majesty the King's Glory. Wilson II stood straight behind the wall. He leaned on the King's Sword with both hands, and his armor with complex golden patterns shone brightly in the sun. The royal cloak with blue background and gold patterns swung slightly behind him, while the king's golden crown was still worn above his head, heavy and solemn.
This is a dress that is particularly eye-catching in any occasion. In a practical sense, wearing such a bright armor on the battlefield can only make oneself quickly become the enemy's target. However, here, only if it is eye-catching enough, the soldiers guarding the city can see clearly where the king is and maintain high morale.
Whether it is His Majesty the King's presence, the supervising team, or the Holy Light Church is healing the wounds, the fighting spirit and unity brought by all these methods are temporary. This is a besieged lonely city, and the enemies outside are endless. No matter how tough the steel will is, it will be constantly consumed in this trapped situation. Therefore, the king must stand on the city wall so as to extend this "temporary" for as long as possible.
A gust of wind sounded, and the gold and silver lions and Rama drums swept the fighting spirit in their bodies and landed in the light from the sky. Wilson II: "Your Majesty, the shield of the western section of the city wall has been recharged, the wall is repairing itself, and the defense line has temporarily stabilized."
Guangyao. Wilson II nodded slightly: "How is the casualties?"
"Fifty soldiers were injured and thirty-four died on the spot, but the pastor of the Church of Holy Light arrived in time, and the casualties did not further expand."
"Where is the barrier of the West Wall?"
"Still intact, the magic barrier blocked the strongest blow."
The so-called western wall barrier refers to the defensive structure formed by the entire western section extending forward, including part of the main city wall, plus the entire western "guards" and corresponding to it is the eastern wall barrier. These two barrier structures are the biggest reliance of the king when facing external attacks.
Guangyao. Wilson II breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes were withdrawn from the direction of the plain: "If we keep this situation, we can stay longer."
"But we will use up all the magic crystal reserves of the capital in five months, and the magic barrier will be at its limit. After that, we can only use human life to fight it."
"There will always be a solution." Guangyao Wilson II said quietly.
The eyes of the gold and silver lion were shining. Wilson II stayed on his face for a long time, and finally said softly: "Your Majesty, many nobles are not optimistic about the capital recently, and they are all talking about it."
Guangyao. Wilson II did not look back, but just said quietly: "Actually, their judgment was correct."
The king personally visited the city wall defense line to temporarily stabilize the originally shaky defense line of the capital and also stabilized the gradually collapsed order in the city, but the encouragement of the people could not change the difficulties of the battle. In this battle to defend the city that determines life and death, the situation of the defense line could only worsen day by day, which is an unchangeable trend.
The number of abyss species is huge, as if endless, but the soldiers guarding the city are decreasing every day; the abyss species are tireless and fearless of death, but human will continue to be wiped out; the abyss species do not worry about material supplies or any loss, but all supplies of the Holy Glory Empire are limited, and the magic barriers and city walls of the royal capital are not invincible barriers, and can stand forever.
On the 87th day of the defense battle of the King Capital, the offensive of the abyss species began to gradually increase. It seemed that in order to destroy this decadent country as soon as possible, the abyss was constantly mobilizing abyss species and abyss infected in the Holy Glory Empire and are constantly increasing their troops to the King Capital.
An army of abyss infected people who came from the Kingdom of Ethelis joined the offensive and defensive battle of the king capital and began to attack the eastern wall of the sacred king capital. This unexpected impact almost destroyed the defense on the eastern wall barrier. After a bloody battle, the royal knights and the Holy Light Knights in the capital finally repelled the enemy's attack, but the price was that thousands of people were directly killed in a battle.
The bodies lifted from the city wall were not sent into the inner city, but were directly burned at the foot of the city wall of the outer city. The strong smoke and pungent smell occupied the outer city for a whole day.
