Marshal Mirsi stood on the tower of Hudhaka with a serious expression, and now the east, west, and north sides of Hudhaka were all surrounded by the troops of the Holy Light Empire. This shows that the second line of defense of the Free Empire has been occupied by the troops of the Holy Light Empire, except for Hudhaka.

Since the Holy Light Empire has such strength, why did Hudhaka be left alone and not attacked? Being able to quickly capture several fortresses on the outskirts at the same time without a sound show that the Holy Light Empire has enough strength to break Hudhaka's defenses before reinforcements arrive.

It was only three days before Putos was captured. Immediately after the imperial capital had not yet received the news, the enemy quickly wiped out several echoing cities around Hudhaka, forming an encirclement of Hudhaka.

Although Hudhaka was surrounded, the reinforcements in the city had now reached a rather terrifying level, and the Holy Light Empire's actions were obviously lagging behind. With the current military strength of Hudaka, even if the other party has two fourth-order angels, they will have to pay a terrible price to be able to end this stronghold. What were they doing during the one or two days that the Holy Light Empire had hesitated?

It is no wonder that Marshal Mirsi is so suspicious, if the Holy Light Empire can launch an attack two days earlier, maybe they can occupy Hudhaka at a very small cost, at that time, the army in Hudhaka City is disheartened, and the number of masters is not enough to compete with the enemy, once it is attacked, it is likely to follow in the footsteps of Pudos......

"Why do you think we are surrounded on three sides, but the enemy has left a gap to the south?" asked Mircy in a deep voice, glancing around at the several commanders around him.

"I think it's because they don't want to fight with us, after all, their 200 level 9 masters plus two fourth-order angels can't eat our 300 level 9 masters in one bite, not to mention that we still have dozens of high-level magicians. A commander said.

In such a large-scale battle, the role of the third-order master is to determine 'sex'. Most of the regular soldiers were used to pacify the populace and occupy the city, as well as many of the trivial tasks of the battlefield...... After all, the number of third-order masters is small, mainly to play their role in battle. Therefore, even if the regular troops of the Holy Light Empire were far more than the garrison troops of the Free Empire, it was not in the eyes of Commander Dhaka.

In the past, the two countries did not have the strength of the fourth order, so the war competition was the strength of the level 9 master, and it has always been equal to each other. Now although the Holy Light Empire has dispatched two fourth-order angels, after all, the number is too small, if they can create dozens of them, this battle will not need to be fought, and the Free Empire can give up and surrender.

Although the two fourth-order angels could not completely decide the outcome of the war, the impact on the situation was very large, even if the Free Empire had 100 more level 9 masters, they still did not dare to rashly take the initiative. This is the deterrent power of the fourth order!

"So, leave a gap in the south, break the will of our army to fight to the death, break our morale, force our army to break through and flee from the south, and reduce their losses in the siege. is the ultimate goal of the enemy!" The commander analyzed reasonably, if the siege was on all sides, then the soldiers in the city would have no other way but to fight to the death.

Mirsi nodded slowly, he had also considered this intention, but he still felt that something was wrong, because the Holy Light Empire could have stormed Hudhaka before the reinforcements came, why did he have to wait for the strength in the city to accumulate enough before 'forceing' the other party to flee?

What's more, as the most important stronghold in the Empire's second line of defense against the Holy Light Empire, how could Dhaka easily give up. Once the second line of defense is lost again, the enemy will 'press' the imperial capital, and the third line of defense is too close to the imperial capital. At this point, the Holy Light Empire should understand that even if they release a gap, they will never choose to retreat.

"In any case, we must hold on to Hudhaka, and we must not retreat!" Mirsi issued an order, and the whole army was on guard and ready to meet the battle.

The next day, the Holy Light Empire finally attacked.

Rows of high-ranking bishops rose to the sky, forming a strange formation of positive pentagrams in groups of five, and a large amount of shining holy power gushed out from their bodies, floating on the bodies of paladins and ascetics below.

Combined Sacred Word Technique: Holy Power Blessing Realm!The sergeants of the Free Empire have never seen each other use it in previous wars. In previous wars, the bishops could only bless a few masters one by one, and those who were blessed would get a 30% bonus in strength, and it was terrifying to be blessed with holy power on such a scale.

"Kill!" The heaven-shattering shout sounded from the phalanx of the Holy Light Empire, and a hundred level 9 masters flew up the city wall in an instant, starting a 'hand-to-hand' battle with the defending forces of the Free Empire. Below 10,000 regular soldiers rushed from the ground to the 'gate' and city walls of Hudhaka, and they formed a small circular phalanx in groups of 100 people, accumulating everyone's holy power to form a huge holy force impact cannon and blasting towards the city 'gate'.

All of a sudden, hundreds of thick 'milky' white pillars of light 'shot' shot out from the army of the Holy Light Empire, and the Holy Force Impact Cannon hit the 'gate' of the city of Dhaka, causing the entire city tower to tremble, and the surface of the heavy stone 'gate' seemed to have been stripped of a thick shell, leaving countless pits.

The magicians of the Free Empire also began to fight back, and countless huge meteorites, blizzards, and tornadoes roared down from the sky and swept towards the large forces of the Holy Light Empire. This is a high-level magic performed by level 9 and 10 magicians, and once it is smashed, the Holy Light Empire will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

"God bless!" A clear prayer sounded, as if to drown out the earth-shattering sound of battle, burrowing into everyone's eardrums.

In the middle of the camp of the Holy Light Empire, a holy angel with wings spread was floating in the air, and tens of thousands of tiny holy light threads below were connected to the body of this angel from the soldier's body, and a huge and incomparable holy power burst out around the angel, forming a huge holy light shield at once, and immediately enveloping all the regular soldiers.

The overwhelming magic was all steadily blocked out by the holy light shield, and the sharp bombardment smashed on the light mask, causing the ground to tremble violently, but it couldn't break through the defense of the light mask, and layer after layer of 'milky' white holy power flowed through the huge light shield, replenishing the lost energy for it.

A single fourth-order angel could not mobilize such a large amount of holy power, but he gathered the holy power of ten thousand soldiers to use the perfect holy power defense.

This is a very big blow to the morale of the Free Empire's soldiers, the magician's high-level magic is the most important defensive force to defend the city, and now this defensive force can't even cause a single loss to the other party, how can this battle continue?

After the magician paused his attack, the Holy Light Empire soldiers below gathered their strength again and continuously bombarded the 'gate' of Dhaka with the Holy Power Shock Cannon. I believe that it will not be long before the 'gate' of Dhaka will be completely destroyed.

In the sky, the level 9 masters of both sides are fighting fiercely.

The level 9 ascetics and level 9 paladins of the Holy Light Empire did not seem to be in a hurry to storm into the city, but formed a defensive formation, and little by little they were 'pressing' towards the side of the Free Empire. Holy power is worthy of being the most durable energy, although the masters of the Free Empire are almost 50% more than the Holy Light Empire, but they are still unable to effectively hit opponents.

In previous wars, the masters of both sides fought on their own, so it was possible to give full play to the numerical advantage of the Free Empire. But now more than 100 masters of the Holy Light Empire are in groups of three or five, and then three or five groups form a large group, and finally the large group forms a completed group, like a turtle with nowhere to start, protecting the personnel to death.

No matter how the level 9 masters of the Free Empire besieged and attacked, they could never cut through the opponent's formation, and even if they could occasionally hurt the opponent's person, they would be able to recover from the opponent's surging holy power. On the side of the Free Empire, it was not so lucky, dozens of masters were injured, and several were seriously injured and fell to the ground and were carried into the city for treatment.

There was a loud bang, and the 'gates' of Hudhaka were finally shattered...... Just when Mirsi decided to launch all his forces to fight to the death, the Holy Light Empire suddenly withdrew its troops!

All the soldiers of the Free Empire looked at the rapidly retreating enemy in a daze, the 'gate' of Hudaka's city was completely damaged, and if the other party took the opportunity to rush into the city, Hudhaka would be in danger. After all, in the city, the magician can't use any strength at all, and although the magic has little effect just now, it can also contain the opponent's regular soldiers.

"Are they really going to 'force' us to retreat and escape!" Now Marshal Mircy can't help but suspect that under such an advantageous situation, the Holy Light Empire does not capture Hudhaka, which means that they are not unable to take Hudhaka, but want to occupy this fortress without losses.

"I won't let them get their wish! In order to protect the freedom of the Empire! Even if everyone dies in battle, the enemy will pay a terrible price!" Believing in the God of Light is a shameful bondage for the people of the Free Empire. Especially the powerful masters, they believe in the gods of war and elemental gods who are long gone.

Having said that, today's battle also made Marshal Mircy realize that the combat effectiveness of the Holy Light Empire is not as good as before, and they have become more powerful, especially the level 9 masters, who can combine to give full play to their advantages...... This is something that the Free Empire does not have, because the Free Empire is good at fighting alone and is not cooperating from below the battle list.

"Unless the Holy Light Empire is willing to pay the price of thirty percent of casualties, they will not want to take Hudhaka City!" Marshal Mircy was worthy of experience, and soon realized that although the Holy Light Empire was an attacker, its tactics were very conservative, and its purpose was self-evident. In the battle just now, the Holy Light Empire had almost no losses, but the damage to Hudhaka was also very slight, except for the city 'gate' was broken, neither side was injured.

"Since the city 'gate' has been destroyed, then let's prepare for a desperate battle!" "Now the initiative of whether Dhaka can hold on to it lies in the Holy Light Empire, if they are willing to pay a certain price, then the fall of Dhaka is doomed!"

"Why should I pay thirty percent to occupy a city of little use?" said Semetis chuckled, and he looked very calm in the face of the questions of many generals.

"Pressure! We're going to keep putting a lot of pressure on Hudhaka......! The commander of the other side will act according to my wishes......"

"Are we going to keep attacking?"

"Of course, tomorrow's goal is to tear down a hundred-meter-long section of the Hudhaka wall!" Haha!" Semetis laughed triumphantly. The bishops and paladins around him looked at each other and tore down each other's walls...... What's the point?
