Chapter 254: Lonely City
Deep in the Holy Glorious Empire, in the palace, the heads of this country have already smelled the turbulent atmosphere from the air.
In the top area of the palace, in a study room covered with dark blue velvet, shining. Wilson II sat behind the desk, with the gold and silver lion. Rama standing next to him, and opposite the two were a royal wizard wearing a black star robe and white hair. The old magician was reporting the situation with guilt: "...I still cannot contact other vassal states. The magical communication of His Majesty the King, the Marshal, and other empires has been interrupted, and there is no response to the messengers from the outside world..."
Guangyao. Wilson II was as deep as water. Rama, who was standing next to him, asked on behalf of him: "The magic message has been cut off, where is the griffin messenger?"
"There are magical species in the abyss species outside the city. Griffons are easily shot down by fire, Lord Marshal."
After a brief silence, Guangyao. Wilson II nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Master Taros."
The old mage left, and the marshal looked down at the light sitting on the chair. Wilson II: "We should send another group of griffin messengers, and at the same time send another group of knights to pass through the tunnels in the city - perhaps the abyss affected the effect of the messaging spell."
Guangyao. Wilson II nodded without any expression: "You can arrange it as appropriate, Marshal-I am a little tired."
"Then, I will leave this matter to me," Rama, the golden and silver lion, bowed slightly, stroked his chest with his hands, and said impeccably, "Please rest with peace of mind, Your Majesty."
The Marshal left the room and Guangyao. Wilson II sat quietly behind the desk for a while. His eyes swept over the documents that had just been sent and needed to pass by himself. After a slight pause, he continued to move to the side and finally landed on a stack of materials on the desk.
The crown prince thought for a moment, reached out and pulled out the information, and put it in front of him to watch it carefully.
Some key content on the information slipped through his sight:
Abyss invasion activities... An old pope of the Holy Light Church showed signs of awakening... Some soldiers in the north had minor abyss infections and were purified by the Holy Light in time...
These information is not comprehensive, but it is already very good for Guangyao. Wilson II. The Church of Holy Light can be said to be the only bargaining chip for whether the Holy Light Empire can survive in the past.
...
Continue to the north of the Holy Light Empire, between the Holy Light Empire and the Frost Moon Empire, the city with a long history of "Hei Yao City", the last shouts of killing finally stopped.
Blood filled the streets, broken swords and equally broken corpses were lying on the ground, and a pungent burnt smell filled the city famous for obsidian. The sunlight sprinkled from the clouds illuminated the battlefield that was gradually cooling down. Under the sunlight, the army formed by abyss species was cleaning up the ruins, confiscating spoils, and counting losses. A man in a black robe, tall and sinister figure walked through the bloody street, and came to the square in front of the lord castle, regardless of strength, the surrounding abyss species saluted respectfully.
"Rulinke" who controlled the portal city of the Holy Glory Empire by himself some time ago.
This sinister and full of evil thoughts has changed a little compared to before. A faint crack appeared on his cheek, and a black light shone out in the crack, and a powerful dark light energy surged in his eyes. He is gradually regaining the strength of God in this world. But now, not to mention the gods, even the demigods are still one step away, but many of the characteristics of God have appeared on him.
However, the strange ability of the gods also allowed him to command this huge army more effectively.
"The one who resisted to the end... was actually a mercenary and an adventurer?" "Lurinke, wearing a black robe, glanced at the corpses around the square, with disdain on his face, "The lords and nobles of this country are all cowards!"
A tall giant nearly three meters high like an iron tower came to the side of "Lurinke" and made a hoarse and low voice: "Master, the nobles of this country are indeed corrupt, but in this world, there are only a few exceptions."
‘Lurinke’ turned his head slightly and glanced at the giant: “Sixth God Messenger, is the resistance of this country over?”
"It will end - we have occupied more than 90% of the entire city..."
"That's not over yet," Rulink interrupted the other party, "What the hell is going on?"
"The kings of this country are still resisting stubbornly. We miscalculated that the Holy Light Church there seems to have a certain relationship with a certain god. Although their gods are impossible to come here at all, this church is still resisting stubbornly. Relying on the increase of the capital's magic tower and magic array, the entire capital is shrouded in a powerful magic barrier, blocking our many impacts."
Speaking of this, the giant couldn't help but curse: "That damn magic barrier, it won't run for long, I can guarantee it!"
"The magic barrier will also be exhausted. As long as it keeps impacting, the magic energy will be exhausted sooner or later," said Lulink. "Looking for a way to consume their magic reserves and destroy them as soon as possible - they have resisted for a long time. I need more evil thoughts!"
"yes."
"I care more about the other thing than those idiots who are fighting hard," continued Lulink. "I heard that some trouble in the south?"
"Yes, some clowns, seemingly vassal states of this empire, have begun to build defense lines after discovering that we have withdrawn the power of the periphery, and they don't seem to have much desire to attack us."
"...I don't want to be distracted, but I've had enough of those clowns." "Lurinke" snorted coldly, "As long as the capital of this country is destroyed, these clowns will be eliminated."
"yes."
The outer line of defense of the king of Ethelisi...
Because of the brief outbreak of the abyss invasion, it almost advanced directly to a mile outside the King of Ethelisi capital. The troops were at the city, but just as the nobles of the Kingdom of Ethelisi were discussing whether to abandon the city and escape, they found that the large number of abyss species that had originally surged backed away like a tide.
At this time, only a few hundred infected people with chaos-conscious abyss were wandering outside the king of Ethelisi.
The commander on the city wall gave the order, and the battle broke out instantly.
The city defense crossbow cannon, which had already accumulated strength, made a dull sound of "bangbang", which was heavy and huge, enough to drive the crossbow "arrow" severely damaged by the low-level fighting knight to fly into the distance in an instant, "smashing" a blood mist among the infected people in the abyss. Between the crossbow arrows that were continuously fired, there were also spells such as fireballs, lightning, ice, etc. from the mages. The mages in the robes of the Ethelisi Kingdom stood next to the rune stones at the back of the city wall, extracting additional magic power while continuously creating fatal attack effects, bombing the monsters in the distance. As long as the mage's mental power is unstable and the casting efficiency decreases, there will be a reserve caster to replace them and continue to maintain the spell suppression on the city wall.
On the plain in the distance, the monsters that were red all over their bodies, constantly roaring or whispering wildly began to fall down one by one, but some of them continued to move closer to the city wall with their powerful vitality. Some of them raised their hands high and scratched randomly, and after a brief delay, they blasted violently at the royal capital city.
A layer of misty magic shield rose from the city wall, blocking the abyss erosion of the abyss infected by the abyss. With the slight shaking of the shield, the distance between the attack and defense was further shortened. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Ethelisi who used powerful crossbows as sub-weapons immediately bowed and turned the crossbows, and the crossbow arrows blessed by the magic effect then splashed at the remaining monsters like heavy rain.
It seems that these attackers cannot even climb up the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall of the Kingdom of Ethelis do not even have the chance to raise their shields and draw their swords - after all, there are only a few hundred, and at this extreme close to the capital, this is already a very relaxed and pleasant attack.
However, if you don’t know the enemy situation outside the city, you will indeed feel that they are engaged in a large-scale offensive and defensive battle.
William rode the horse, the warhammer and the old Gancelia stood quietly on the city wall, watching the monsters infected by the abyss turn into wreckage on the land one by one, and quickly enter a state of evaporation and dissipation. Neither of the two wanted to order help, and the people around them seemed very calm and indifferent.
"The Kingdom of Ethelis is really weak. I don't know what else they need to exist for such a country!" Warhammer sat on the shadow wolf and waved the giant hammer and said in disdain.
"This is the aristocrats living on the wealthy land. The overly favorable living environment has turned them into deformities with only gold coins and women in their minds." William was very plain about this, and then he said sarcastically: "But such a guy is destined to be eliminated, right?"
The army of the Flame Kingdom had already set off from the Flame Kingdom one week after the elves left. It took a week for a while to piece together a large amount of supplies, including military medical services, military medical personnel, as well as some consuls who maintain order.
There were a total of 100,000 people, of which the army occupied 10,000, and the number was not large. It was mainly to protect the safety of the people in the Kingdom of Flame. It was not obliged to protect the territory of the Kingdom of Ethelis, nor to go deep into the infected area to rescue the Holy Glorious Empire.
However, there are more staff from the Ministry of Construction. There were a total of 80,000 people who rushed to the Kingdom of Ethelis in the first phase. Later, they would hire personnel from nearby principalities along the way to join the Ministry of Construction. A certain amount of gold coins or potions will be given as a transaction.
The reason why such a large number of personnel is that Renault means.
