vs 22 The Fallen Inner City
Two or three minutes after Leah left.
A huge magic circle appeared above the Allied army array on Central Street, large enough to cover the heads of all the armies at the gates, expanding with each passing second.
The flickering purple light of the huge circle covered most of the outer city in a minute, making not only the citizens hiding in their houses look sideways, but also the soldiers fighting on the front line.
The distraction of the soldiers immediately drew a reprimand from the officers, and in the midst of this reprimand, countless small circles emerged from the construction of the magicians around the huge circle.
In the midst of countless exclamations, small magic circles spread all over the Allied Front, connecting with the huge magic array that appeared first.
"Such a dense and huge compound magic circle can actually be synchronized. Andy Barrett muttered to himself, "The Mage Tower has outdone us in the study of magic. As he spoke, he subconsciously clenched the war hammer in his hand, his eyes motionless as he stared at the circle that was gradually forming in the sky.
In the clear sky, some electricity slid like lightning, and when all the currents were intertwined, there was a "boom" explosion sound, forming a lightning bolt that seemed to tear the sky apart.
It was very bright, and the light contained in the lightning flickered, and the white light that was impossible to see directly enveloped Suke City in an instant, and radiated to an area fifty kilometers away!
"Boom" was another piercing roar, and the earth began to tremble slightly in the roar of lightning, and as the blinding light flashed again, a huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky and smashed down on the magic shield held up by the inner city.
The magic shield that had given everyone a headache before had no power to resist under the greater amount of magical power, and after coming into contact with the world-shattering thunder and lightning, it burst layer by layer, causing the huge thunder and lightning to fall directly on the inner city, and many buildings collapsed while raising dust in the sky, and the earth began to tremble more violently.
"Thisβ" Andy Barrett's eyes were pierced by the scorching light, but he was still staring at the lightning that seemed to be descended from the gods. He swallowed as the dust settled, and the hammer he had been holding in his hand almost slipped to the ground.
"It's just the simplest energy calculation. Pedi explained, "The mages calculated the magical energy of the Inner City Shield, and then unleashed an attack just enough to destroy it. He felt the wave of air coming from the inner city, "Although this blow just now was less than five minutes, we have been preparing for this for nearly a month. β
"This is the 'power of knowledge'!"
"The power of knowledge?" Andy muttered to himself.
Pedi glanced at his cousin, who was lost in thought, and then took two steps forward, feeling the vibration from the ground, looking at the soldiers on the city wall who had forgotten all the soldiers who continued to fight, and ordered to the left and right: "Order the artillery regiment to bombard the city." β
The herald received the order, mounted his war horse with the command flag, and galloped towards the position of the artillery regiment as fast as possible.
Five or six minutes later, with the sound of breaking through the sky, the inner city was once again kicked up in a cloud of dust in the sound of explosions.
"You're ahead of me in everything. Andy Barrett walked up to his cousin with his hammer in his hand, and just as the second round of artillery bombardment had arrived, he looked at the fire that was raging in the inner city, and his eyes were reddened.
"I'm just trying to preserve my people in the midst of turmoil and give them the future I promised. β
"I can't really associate you with you five years ago, you used to beβ" Andy grinned, "You used to be more likely to shirk your responsibilities and try to be lazy in order to spend more time studying your historical documents, of course... Then there's meditation in church. β
"Because I like quiet. Pedi stared at the smoke-filled inner city, "It's better to be quiet... If you look at the current Suke City, it is because many people want to be lively, but in the end, they have ruined the original prosperity and glory. β
"If all the people in the world thought like you, our civilization would stop. β
"You would even think about civilized things. Pedi turned his head to look at his cousin again.
"You say something like that... Can I understand that you used to think of me as an idiot?"
"Aren't you stupid?" asked Pedi rhetorically.
The two brothers looked at each other for more than five seconds, and Andy shrugged, "Okay, okay, I'm stupid. β
Pedi shrugged as well, and the brief conversation between the two ended in the midst of the fighting.
At this time, the ground that had just been stable suddenly began to tremble continuously, accompanied by a low roar similar to that of a mountain beast.
Just as Andy Barrett was about to ask, huge rock golems with green flames climbed the walls to stop the Confederate onslaught.
"Are those rock golems?" Andy asked, frowning.
Pedi did not answer his words, he hurried forward to the bottom of the wall, and countless arrows rained down on him unceremoniously, but they were all bounced off by the protective shields held up by the knights of the King's Guard.
Without too many words, Pedi raised the two-handed warhammer in his hand, and following the method he had learned from Archmage Leah, he let go of all his thoughts and put his thoughts on the void, and began to condense the divine atoms of the nearby space.
The paladins near the city gate and Andy Barrett were the first to notice the change, and the sacred atom that had been quiet in the surrounding space suddenly became active, and the soldiers of the Alliance only felt that their whole body was surrounded by warmth, and their fatigue was swept away while they had inexhaustible strength.
"The Holy Spirit is changing according to your thoughts. Andy Barrett looked at his cousin, feeling the power of another attribute of the Holy Power.
At this moment, a ball of golden light gathered in the sky above the city gate, and the more it gathered, the originally soft light became a little harsh in the blink of an eye.
Soon, everyone dared to look at him again.
"This is the Divine Power, this is the Divine Force!" Andy Barrett muttered to himself, his tone changing from question to affirmation. He was shocked beyond comprehension at the moment, because the divine power condensed above the city gate had exceeded his realization.
The Confederate soldiers who had fallen in the light of this divine power stood up again under the guidance of Pedi's will, and the evil energy carried by the rock golem on the opposite side was instantly evaporated like boiling water.
Samhill, the former Archbishop of the Church of Divine Radiance who was treating the wounded soldiers nearby, stared at the dazzling light with the stinging pain of his eyes, "This is the power of God, how can mortals have such power!"
In his exclamation, the holy power gathered above the city gate suddenly turned into a huge war hammer and smashed down towards the city gate and pavilion, and after the loud "boom", the powerful qi wave overturned the nearby ladder, and knocked a large number of soldiers on both sides to the ground, and the flying dust instantly covered all the areas near the city gate.
"It's... Judgment?"
This is indeed the Judgment, the Paladin's most conventional striking ability, after Pedi pinned his thoughts on the Void, he used his strong compatibility with the divine power to gather even more powerful power to change the strength of the 'Judgment'.
"Ahem, cough, cough" After Pedy's 'judgment' blow, he immediately cut off his connection with the Void, and uncontrollably bent down and coughed violently, "Wow" his cough spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty!" Willy-Jon's face changed.
"It's okay, the Holy Force is repairing my injuries. Pedi stopped Willy-Jon from yelling, harnessing that force that had caused his body to be squeezed by an invisible force that nearly ruptured his internal organs.
"This kind of power is really beyond the control of mortals, and even if I know how to use it, I don't have a vehicle to exert it. Pedi smiled wryly and looked up at the city gate ahead.
"If you have a body of steel, doesn't it mean that you can even surpass the divine power of the entire universe. Andy Barrett asked suddenly.
Pedi shook his head and nodded, "Yes, theoretically, it can be done, but first I have to have a body of steel. β
"I can't imagine that power. β
"No one can imagine that kind of power, but what is theoretically achievable, maybeβ" Pedi shook his head halfway through his words.
By this time, the dust had slowly dispersed, and from the faint silhouette ahead, it seemed that the city gate had collapsed.
The artillery of the "Boom" artillery regiment exploded again in the inner city, making the original fire in the inner city more vigorous and at the same time setting off a wave of air, blowing the dust at the city gate to the Allied position...
In the shouts of killing one after another, the dust in the sky gradually fell.
Pedi lifted his visor and placed the hammer on the ground, subconsciously fanning the dust with his hand.
"Divine power is indeed omnipotent. Andy Barrett took off his helmet and stared at the gate in front of him, which had been smashed into a huge gap, and looked at the rubble that was still falling off, "But you have to have a strong body first." He said, turning his head sideways to look at his cousin, who was a little embarrassed.
"I'm fine now, you don't have to worry about me. Pedi put down his armor and pointed to the gap in the city gate, "Follow me!" With that, he pushed away the knights of the guard who stood in front of him, and took the lead in climbing the ruins of the fallen wall.
"Quick, keep up!" The musket regiments, which had been waiting for a long time in the rear, at the urging of the officers of each team, propped up the shield device on their wrists and followed the king's footsteps without hesitation.
The troops met no resistance as they passed through the breach, and the first thing Pedi felt when he entered the inner city was heat, unbearable heat. Many of the buildings in the inner city were turned into flames by the powerful magic and the constant artillery bombardment that followed, and the scorching sun hanging high in the sky made the heat even more powerful.
"Karene Sibo doesn't have any troops here?" said King Andy Barrett, staring in disbelief as he walked down the empty central street.
"General Karen-Sibo seems to be confident in the defensive line he has laid out for the city gates. Pei Di pressed to hold back the excitement in his heart, "This is my chance!" He looked left and right, and the moats on the left and right sides of the inner city wall were full of soldiers guarding the city, but there were no soldiers at the city gate.
"I didn't expect someone to break the gate in two minutes!"
Pedi didn't have time to listen to his cousin's praise now, he looked back at the banner of the 1st Infantry Army that followed, and said in a commanding tone: "Andy, you lead one corps to assist the siege force to occupy the city wall, and I will continue to advance into the city with the other corps!"
"Stillβ" Andy wanted to switch tasks with his cousin.
"This is my war, my dear cousin. β
"Of course, I don't have any thoughts about this war. Andy Barrett smiled.
Pedi didn't continue to talk nonsense, and after a short handover, he and his cousin parted ways, and rushed into the city in the face of the rushing heat.
The central street of the inner city was all too familiar to Pedi, who had lived here for more than a decade, and had followed his mentor through it almost every day when he was training as a paladin.
But the familiar streets are long gone!
The endless sea of fire replaced the original prosperity of the city, and the noble ladies chatting outside the shops on both sides of the street were gone. The Lion Castle, which seemed to look down on the earth, still existed, but it lost its former glory and became disgusting and spurned.
The sound of a low roar was heard, and two rock golems burst out of the dense fog of the sea of fire, and magical attacks such as fireballs, ice arrows, and spikes pierced through the smoke of war and attacked Pedi and the soldiers behind him.
Pedi took a deep breath to ease the discomfort of his powerful attack, and activated the shield device in his hand, ignoring the incoming magic and arrow attacks, and after giving a few orders to the officers around him, he stepped forward to meet the rock golem in front of him.
"When" Pedi used his power to deftly dodge the rock golem's attack, the warhammer struck it on the thigh, and when it fell, he swung the hammer in his hand to cleanly kill a rock golem.
When the golem's layers of rocks fell off itself, another rock golem also fell to the ground with the cooperation of more than a dozen Guardian Knights.
"Stomp Pedal Pedal
The sound of neat footsteps echoed in the fire, and the King's Guard immediately raised their shields and leaned against the King, and the soldiers of the Musket Regiment also stepped up their reloads, while the auxiliaries raised their shields and pointed their spears at the place where the sound came from.
Countless arrows pierced the sky and poured down like a torrential rain.
"There's a Demon Breaker!" shouted the mage in the convoy, "Raise your shield for defense!"
"Snatch and Snatch"
As soon as the sound of the reminder landed, arrows fell from the sky.
"Ahh
"Bang, bang!" was followed by a muffled scream that echoed through the musket corps.
The body of the soldier who was pierced by the Demon Breaking Arrow actually broke directly, and the inertia of the blast overturned the nearby soldiers and caused them to be injured to varying degrees.
"Get out of the way, poison!"
The roar of an officer made Peidi's eyelids jump wildly as he was about to give the order to storm the enemy's defensive line, and he subconsciously turned his head. However, where the corpse exploded, a green mist surrounded it, and the skin of the surrounding soldiers was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
