Chapter 289: Armageddon (2)

The two sides shouted and cursed each other across the city wall, and after about half an hour, when both sides were dry, the round of scolding and fighting ended.

So in the future, Lin Shui and his legions also began to prepare for the siege.

Outside the city, the Church Legion built carts with thick roofs, and then began to fill in the moat of Yakland City under the attack of the city's mages and elven crossbowmen.

But it was such a simple project, but it cost the Church Legion a great deal of casualties. Because the magic attack of the eight hundred elven mages on the city wall was too fierce.

Fireballs, lightning, and ice blades rained down like rain for a while. However, if they are hit by these magical attacks, the warriors of the Legion may not be killed directly due to the blessing of the power of faith, but the wooden carts that can be crafted will be directly destroyed.

Because of this, a moat outside the city of Jacqueland cost the church legions more than 3,000 casualties, and it took three days to fill in the moat, which was only more than ten meters wide.

This unprecedented defeat had a great impact on the morale of the Church Legion. So that although the moat was filled, Lin Shui and the others had no joy on their faces.

However, as the saying goes, a family is happy, and the defeat of the Church Legion on the side naturally made the elves in Jacqueland City laugh. Among them, especially the Emperor. When the Church Legion had just arrived in the city, he was still worried. But now, the head of the empire is happier than when he had a son.

"These damn mob rebels, they've tasted defeat. Under the great city of Jacqueland, I will lead my people to crush all their ambitions!"

Emperor Estelle said. Originally, he had a rare good appetite tonight, so he drank some wine at the same time as the meal. However, His Majesty the Emperor is still very restrained, and he is only a superficial taste.

But after two glasses of wine, it still inevitably made His Majesty the Emperor have a stronger desire to talk. So he looked at their prime minister and his courtiers with a smile and said, "Prime minister, you have begun to persuade me to leave my city. Now you see that?"

"Yes, my majesty. ”

Hearing this, the prime minister hurriedly squeezed a smile from his face. If time could be turned back, then the current prime minister really hated to give him a big mouth a few days ago.

"How could I have said such thoughtless things in the first place, this will definitely become a stain that I will not be able to wash away for the rest of my life!" the prime minister sighed in his heart. Then with a smile on his face, he hurriedly flattered: "Your Majesty, you are like the sun in the sky, no matter how powerful those mob rebels are, how can they compare to the great sun that can give life to all things." ”

"Hahahaha," the emperor immediately laughed when he heard this. So he raised his glass again and said, "My courtiers, this is a disaster. But for the Empire, it was no less a rebirth. After the disaster, we will be stronger. At that time, we will usher in a new era!"

Even though the war had not yet been won, the Emperor and his courtiers felt that they were now in control. And the reason why they have such a mentality, in addition to the fact that they have the upper hand in these three days of fighting, is also because they have already taken a step ahead of the church legions outside the city, and have received the news that the navy and the northern border army are quickly approaching to recover Lando City.

Therefore, they now think that the balance of victory has completely tipped in their favor, and that they will also win this war. However, who would have thought that at this moment, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded in the north of the city.

"Boom !!"

This sound was ten times louder than the sound of the fire type elven archmage casting the fire explosion spell. So much so that at the moment when the sound suddenly came, the emperor and his courtiers, who were holding a banquet in the palace, were thrown to the ground by the turmoil caused by the sound.

"What's going on, what's going on!?"

The emperor was still a little drunk, but after getting up from the ground, the current emperor is more sober than during the day. It's just that although he asked loudly at the first time, none of the elves around him could stand up and answer his question at this time.

His courtiers didn't know what was happening, but some of them reacted quickly, and after standing up, they rushed out of the room and looked out to the north of the city. The Elven Emperor, who had been splashed with red wine, hurried out of the room, but when he turned his gaze to the north of the city, His Majesty fell to the ground again.

To the north of the city, it is now filled with smoke and dust. However, due to the high terrain of the palace, the emperor of the Elven Empire was able to clearly see after the smoke and dust cleared slightly, and the originally majestic and towering city wall now had a gap of more than twenty meters wide.

This is a hole blown out by Lin Shui with gunpowder. After all, the human navy had been equipped with artillery as early as the battle of Shengfeng Island, and Lin Shui, who had been one of the commanders of the human navy, naturally knew how to configure gunpowder.

But in order to make gunpowder play a decisive role on the battlefield, Lin Shui had never openly used gunpowder in previous battles. This is the first time now. And in order to ensure success, Lin Shui used all the gunpowder carried by the legion.

Some of these gunpowders were newly configured, while others were configured several years ago. The total amount of them added up to tens of thousands of catties, which is why the power was so terrifying, blowing out a gap of more than twenty meters wide in the strong and tall walls of Jacqueland City.

But the breaches in the walls were secondary, and the main thing was the demoralization blow to the defenders of Yakland. This unprecedented new weapon directly knocked out the defenders of Jacqueland.

The aftermath of the explosion left thousands of defenders dead, but the remaining defenders did not know what had happened.

"Why did there be such a terrible explosion, and why did the walls fall?" was a question that the elven defenders did not understand. But before they could figure it out, a tidal wave of ecclesiastical legions came in through the city's breaches.

"For the sake of the true God, for a better world!!

Even though the sun had not risen, the Church Legion had burst out with unprecedented momentum at this time. Manu and a number of other blessed ones rushed to the front of the battlefield in full armor.

As a result, the defenders of Arkland City did not have time to organize their forces to resist, and their defenses were ruthlessly torn apart. A tidal wave of ecchsiastical legions poured into the streets of Jacqueland.

Flames began to rise in all corners of Jacqueland, and the fear that accompanied the flames began to spread throughout the city.

"We failed, we failed!"

The first to be defeated were still the mages of the Royal Mage Order. These mages have been pampered since childhood, and although there is competition within them, those competitions are like the jealousy of the noble ladies in the mansion, and compared with the battle between life and death at the bottom, it is completely heaven and earth. Therefore, the mages of the Royal Mage Regiment are okay to fight against the wind, but if they fight against the wind.

Ninety percent of the first thing they could think of when their lives were threatened was to run for their lives. For now, even though the Emperor's loyal guards were still struggling to fight the Church Legion, the mages were mostly turning around and running.

And their escape naturally formed a "domino" effect again at this time, which made the Guards, who were still holding on, also waver. The situation was irreversible, and the tens of thousands of defenders in the city of Jacqueland were suddenly defeated.

Emperor Estelle and his courtiers were still in the palace on higher ground, and Estelle, as the Elven Emperor, was able to witness all of this. So the emperor, who was still full of spirit before, directly spurted out red blood.

Victory did not favor him, and his city was doomed to fall tonight. Thankfully, the Emperor was always accompanied by loyal guards and an elven archmage who was skilled in teleportation.

So when the emperor spewed out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious, he was carried on his back by the commander of his guards. Then the elven archmage, who was good at using teleportation magic, opened a dark blue portal and teleported away with his emperor as soon as possible.

Then there is the Prime Minister of the Empire, and when the Emperor's figure disappears, he also rushes into the portal. But when the other ministers of the Elven Empire were about to do the same, a flash of lightning suddenly fell from the sky and forcibly closed the portal.

"No, no!!"

The ministers and nobles who had been cut off from hope couldn't help but begin to wail, and one of them beat their chests and even scolded their emperor. But their anger and resentment had no effect, and as the minutes ticked by, the distance between the brave Church Legionnaires and them was gradually narrowing.

So they had to find a way to break out of the chaotic battlefield on their own. Unfortunately, the palace was the focus of the Church Legion from the beginning. As a result, the ministers and nobles who remained were completely surrounded by the Church Legion, and none of them were able to leave.

Then these elven nobles were taken captive in terror, and no one told them to kill themselves or fight for their lives. Therefore, he could only weep and cry while being shackled.

And at this point in the war, it is almost over. The defenders of Yakland were completely defeated, and although there was still resistance in all corners of the city, the resistance of these elves was only a remnant of the defeated army.

The two remnants of the largest number of defeated generals add up, and there are only a few hundred elves. Even if these elven warriors would rather die in battle than give up resistance, how could they resist tens of thousands of church legions.

Therefore, when the sun slowly rises in the east, all those who resist will be killed, and none of them will be spared.

But in the palace in the center of Jacqueland City, looking at the captured elven nobles, Lin Shui, who led the army, was still gloomy at this moment.

"Damn, I let the boiled duck fly away again!" Lin Shui, who knew that the Elven Empire Emperor had fled, couldn't help but scold angrily. But it was this battle that couldn't help but remind Lin Shui of the Battle of Shengfeng Island that took place more than ten years ago.

On that occasion, the commander of the enemy army also fled under his nose.

But Lin Shui didn't know that the result of this teleportation was completely different from that time on Shengfeng Island. But at the last moment of this battle, the god that Liang believed in still ended in person.

He used his near-omnipotent power of faith to rain down a bolt of lightning and forcibly close the dark blue portal.

So much so that the entire teleportation channel had collapsed halfway through. The Emperor of the Elven Empire, Estelle, and the Commander of the Guards who guarded him, as well as the Elven Archmage who opened the portal, and the Imperial Prime Minister who followed him, were all torn to shreds by the rampaging spatial forces.

All of these people died, silently. It's just that Lin Shui and the others still don't know, and the captured elves and nobles in the palace also think that their Emperor Majesty abandoned them at the last moment.

However, this is not the case at all.

Therefore, when it was ten o'clock at noon, Liang Tian, who was a true god, also informed Lin Shui of the matter. At the same time, he was also informed of the fall of Lando City. made Lin Shui happy first and then excellent, and his heart was suddenly chaotic.
