Chapter 139: Miserable

The high-level leaders of the Holy See of Light have finally made up their minds: dispatch the Holy Knights and attack the fortress ahead!

And the Holy Mage Regiment will also be partially dispatched to provide assistance and reduce the loss of the Holy Knights.

In other words, in order to take down that fortress, the two trump cards of the Holy See of Light were all played.

It's dangerous.

The fortress of the "Godless Alliance" is really dangerous.

……

July 25th, morning.

Outside the pass.

On the side of the Legion of Light.

The Holy Knights, with a population of 50,000, and the Holy Mage Order, with a number of 10,000, were already prepared and lined up in a neat phalanx.

Majestic and imposing.

Just wait for an order to attack!

And today, among the high-ranking members of the Legion of Light, including Cardinal Obarkh, the front-line commander Hilbert, and the head of the Holy Mage Regiment, Yuris, stood on a high place, looking at the huge military array below, as well as the extremely elite Holy Knights and Holy Mage Regiment, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Excellency, once the Holy Knights are dispatched, the fortress in front of them will not survive a day!" General Bannon said in high spirits behind him.

One day?

Hearing Bannon's words, Obarch and the others all nodded.

The same was true of Hilbert, who, though his face habitually showed a look of contempt and disdain, nodded in agreement.

Indeed, as the most powerful trump card of the Holy See, once the Holy Knights are dispatched, no matter whether it is a dangerous fortress or a giant city in front of them, as long as the Holy Knights launch a charge, in a short time, the blockers will be shattered, and no matter how powerful the defense is, it will collapse and be defeated!

The Holy Knights are less than 10,000, and they are invincible!

And on this battlefield, a full 50,000 Holy Knights were dispatched!

In the face of that fortress, is it necessary to speculate on its final outcome?

Out of strong confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Holy Knights, Hilbert personally even believes that in about half a day and about 1,000 casualties, the Holy Knights will be able to take the fortress that has not been attacked for a long time!

What's more, behind the Holy Knights, there are tens of thousands of Holy Mage Corps to assist and cooperate, if it takes more than a day, Hilbert will feel that it is too abnormal, it is not like the style of the Holy Knights, the Holy Knights cannot be so weak.

"Woo woo woo~" The horn of the charge sounded.

"Paladin, start charging!"

"For the sake of light, for justice, for the glory of knights, for the faith that everyone should defend, rush!"

After the order to attack was issued, the Paladins, who had long been ready to attack, launched a charge, turning into a torrent of steel surging forward.

The earth shook, the horses roared, the armor collided, and the air seemed to freeze.

Especially seeing the knights in front who were getting closer and closer to the fortress in front, after entering the firepower coverage of that fortress, everyone's hearts on the side of the Legion of Light were pinched.

The same is true for Hilbert, the firepower released by that fortress, he has personally experienced it, those dense bullets like rain can shoot through two-inch thick steel armor, cannonballs as big as a baby's head, once it explodes, he, a ninth-order holy warrior, after opening the defense with all his strength, will have to suffer a little minor injury, not to mention the average strength level of the 6th order paladin?

……

In the fortress ahead.

The defenders observed a large wave of cavalry, and when they came within range of the artillery, they did not immediately open fire.

Just let the soldiers on the lookout post constantly report the distance of the enemy.

"The enemy is still eight miles away...... Seven Mile ...... Six miles ......"

"The enemy has five miles left, can we open fire?" the flag soldier asked on the phone.

"Shoot closer than three miles!" all the artillery in the fort fire together!"

"Yes!"

"Four miles remaining...... Three and a half miles...... When you enter Sanli, do you want to open fire?"

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

It was also an order that more than 300 artillery pieces in the fortress opened fire at the same time, pouring out more than 300 high-power shells!

Like a rain of bullets, these cannonballs turned into an arc-shaped scatter surface, passing through hundreds of parabolas, rushing towards the knights of the charging Holy Knights.

"Be careful, be careful to dodge!"

At this scene, Hilbert couldn't help but cry out, more than 300 shells, if it was a siege in the past, each round could take hundreds of lives.

Now, when it's the turn of the Paladins to eat this rain of bullets, how will the paladins behave?

The rain of falling shells is getting closer.

"Shield of Light!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Then a surprising scene occurred, above the charging Holy Knights, a large white light suddenly lit up, and then turned into a huge white light shield, attached to the sky above the knights.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Upon contact with the white shield, the shells exploded, causing large ripples on the surface of the shield, but not killing a single paladin.

The first round of shelling in the fortress had a zero lethal effect on the Holy Knights, and no paladins were killed.

"There is even this trick, it's amazing!"

Hilbert was overjoyed, and the faces of Archbishop Obarch and others were very excited and excited!

It's a win!

The paladins stepped out, and they immediately saw the hope of victory.

And the hope is growing.

Because the charging distance of the Holy Knights was constantly shortening, from Sanli, gradually charging under the stone wall close to the fortress, the defenders in the fortress fired multiple rounds of artillery bombardment, fired multiple rounds of bullets, and even the hundred legendary mages in the fortress released a wave of powerful magic.

By gathering the holy power of all people, the knights of the Holy Knights condensed into a giant "shield of holy light", and resisted all physical and magical attacks.

The "Shield of Light" is still intact, and the number of casualties of the Holy Knights is still surprisingly zero.

And once the paladins are allowed to get close to the stone wall of the fortress, even if the height of the stone wall is more than 30 meters, with the profound holy power and superb martial arts of the paladins, they only need to jump up hard, and after standing on the head of the city and entering hand-to-hand combat, there is no suspense about who will win and who will lose.

Therefore, for the defenders in the fortress, the key to holding the fortress is to stop the enemy's high-level military units and get close to the fortress stone walls!

Otherwise, it's doomed.

But now the Holy Knights have rushed to a position less than 30 meters from the city wall, and if they can't stop the enemy's pace, the fortress is in danger!

At this critical juncture.

The defenders inside the fort finally used the few "secret weapons" at hand - high-powered sniper rifles, hand-cranked machine guns, and multiple rocket launchers...... These weapons, which had already finished reloading, roared at this moment.

Under the fortress, the density of bullets increased three times in an instant, and the density of shells increased tenfold!

"Boom, boom!"

Under the violent explosion, the "Holy Light Shield" was finally blasted out of countless cracks and holes, and was able to fall into the bullets and shells of the paladin's crowd, harvesting a large number of human heads.

"Buzz~"

At this moment, a strange sound came from the eastern sky.

An even more bloody and tragic battle is about to break out!
