Chapter 287: Soldiers Descend on the City

However, at this time, compared to the nervous and worried Elven Empire Emperor, the True God Sect's side can be said to have high morale.

A series of victories on the battlefield has given all True God followers absolute confidence, "The corrupt and depraved Imperial army will not be able to defeat us, and we will be victorious." At that time, a new era and a beautiful era will be opened by our own hands!"

In front of a city, Lin Shui, who led the army, once again made a short but impassioned speech.

So after he had spoken, an army of believers poured into the city that stood in their way.

The city has almost 60,000 permanent residents, and the number of citizens and the size of the city are considered medium in the entire Elven Empire. So there were a whole thousand warriors in the city.

But how could these people be compared to the army led by Lin Shui. So the battle lasted only two hours, and the city fell under the attack of the True God Cult.

And then there was inevitably a massacre.

War is the most terrifying of the gold-eating beasts. The army led by Lin Shui had nearly 50,000 men, and the daily consumption of these people was a huge astronomical amount.

So whether it's food, money, medicine or anything else, Lin Shui hopes that the more the better. But these things can't appear out of thin air. In order to obtain these things, the followers of the True God Church inevitably resort to violence.

Thus, after the conquest of the city, the wealthy magnates and merchants of the city were pulled out for public trial.

"The great and merciful God will not allow His followers to kill innocents. You will receive a fair, just and public trial. If you are not guilty, you will be released. ”

That's what the True God Cult says to the outside world, and it seems extremely fair. But ninety-nine percent of those they judge are guilty. However, compared to the current laws of the Elven Empire, the judgment standards of the True God Sect are much stricter.

Those who can be acquitted under the judgment of the True God Cult can be crowned with the title of good man or even great good man. Therefore, in the subsequent trial, the powerful and wealthy merchants in the city were all sent to the gallows without exception.

Then, all the wealth they had was confiscated. Once again, the Church Legion received a great fortune. So Lin Shui, as the commander, first used this wealth to reward those who showed bravery in the battle, and then gave a part to the low-level elves in the city.

Lin Shui did this, not hoping that these oppressed low-level elves could be grateful to him because of this. He wasn't that naΓ―ve.

The fundamental purpose of his doing this was to make the low-level elves of other cities that they had not conquered blush. In this way, his army is attacking the city outside, and the oppressed low-level elves may wreak havoc inside the city.

That's it today. Otherwise, the city would not have been captured by them so smoothly right now. After all, in addition to the original city defense army, those powerful people in the city mobilized all the adult men in the city.

There were tens of thousands of people, and just now these people were standing on the city wall. But as the oppressed at the bottom defected, and the legions of the Church entered the city, they were immediately scattered.

In the end, it is not a professional soldier, but a city wall that was forced to walk by those powerful people. These people's desire to fight may not be as big as the eyes of ants.

Therefore, in the next five days, the army led by Lin Shui advanced another three hundred miles. And it was only at this time that they finally ushered in a decent war.

It was a place called Eagle Hill. The governor of the Northwest Province of the Elven Empire has mobilized all the troops that can be mobilized in the entire province here. The army numbered almost twenty thousand, and there were two hundred mages accompanying them.

The provincial governor of the Elven Empire led this legion to stand in the way, as it was the only way to Jacqueland. The Doge received a death order from his noble Emperor, His Majesty, to hold back the enemy no matter what, so as to buy the empire enough time.

This was a daunting task, for the enemy not only outnumbered his army, but also outnumbered the army he led in terms of morale.

But for the sake of his own family, the Governor can only force himself to do it. Otherwise, he and his family will suffer unbearable punishment. But even if he was mentally prepared, when the Governor stood on a high hill and saw the huge enemy army as far as the eye could see, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

"Can we withstand these terrible enemies?"

He couldn't help but look at a mage in purple robes beside him. The mage frowned when he heard what he said.

"The Governor is too daring. Before the battle began, such discouraging words were openly uttered. His Majesty asked him to guard this place, which is completely difficult for the strongman!"

The purple-robed mage said so secretly in his heart. But in order to increase the confidence of the governor, he had no choice but to pretend to smile lightly: "These enemies in front of you are just a mob on the left and right.

Their armies lacked both well-trained samurai and mages capable of casting spells. How could such a group of people defeat us. Believe me, my lord, there is no doubt that we will be victorious. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. When the Governor heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again. He felt that every word of this mage was so wise that he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next day, the brutal war officially began on this land. The little courage that the Governor had just mustered was wiped out.

"Rush, rush, !!"

"For the sake of the true God, for the !! of faith"

On the second day of the attack, the slogans of the Church Legion were as loud as thunder overhead. The provincial soldiers on the side of the Elven Empire were directly shocked.

Then a brutal white-knuckle battle broke out between the two sides, and the provincial soldiers were obviously on a relatively high ground and occupied a certain terrain advantage, but they were defeated by the crazy church legions after only a little more than an hour of fighting.

So the two hundred elven mages in the provincial legion had to take action.

The two hundred elven mages were now standing on two high hills, and their raining magical attacks were smashed into the Church Legion. However, it is a pity that there are no mages on the side of the church legion, and there are not enough witches in the army, so they can't quickly counter the fierce attack of the elven mages for a while, and the momentum of the previous attack like a bamboo has been temporarily contained.

So after another hour, Lin Shui had no choice but to withdraw the first batch of troops from the front.

But the fierce battle didn't end there. At this time, although Lin Shui withdrew the first batch of troops from the front line, then he sent the second batch of troops with more spirit and combat effectiveness.

And this second batch of troops, like the first batch, also has a total of 10,000 troops. It's just that compared to the first batch of troops, there are a full 800 blessed ones in this group of troops in front of them.

Although these blessed people are all native-born elves, they may be blessed by Liang Tian, which also shows that these elves are superior in both faith and personal ability.

Therefore, when these people wore armor and followed the large army into battle, the form on the battlefield was immediately different. The combat power of the elven warriors is already strong compared to the average human warrior, and on this basis, they are blessed by the power of faith. Then these elven blessed people are often superior to ordinary human blessed people.

Right now, they split into two groups and slew at the elven mages on the high hills, and the elven mage's seemingly invincible and powerful magic became ineffective against these people.

Even with terrible flames, ice, and thunder, it is difficult for the blessed ones who are blessed by the power of faith to fall. But after the power of faith transformed the bodies of these elven believers from the inside out, in the face of those ordinary elven mages, they actually had a certain degree of magic immunity.

The terrifying magic attack unleashed by the elven mage was aimed at them, but it was not able to exert its full power. Often, if it is discounted, it can only cause them some inconsequential skin trauma.

Thus these blessed ones did not delay in charging forward, and they were as fast as a gust of wind at this time.

So looking at the blessed one who was getting closer and closer, the elven mage on the high hill finally panicked.

"They're about to be killed, and our magic doesn't work on them!"

"Retreat, retreat!"

In the Elven Empire, Elven mages are undoubtedly part of the ruling class. Therefore, the military law of the Elven Empire has long stipulated, "If a mage thinks that his life is being threatened, he can withdraw from the battlefield on his own!"

This is the preferential treatment of the ruling class to its own class. Therefore, even if they go to the battlefield, mages generally do not have the idea of fighting to the death and not retreating to sacrifice their lives for the country. Even for the vast majority of mages, "what is the death to the death and not retreat to sacrifice for the country, only a fool who does not know self-love will do this." ”

Since ancient times, they have not had the slightest psychological burden to retreat after a disadvantageous war.

But this is a battlefield after all, a battlefield that affects the whole body. On the side of the Provincial Legion, thousands of pairs of eyes are looking at their mage. When these people saw their mage retreating under the attack of the enemy, they felt that the war could not be won under any circumstances.

So they turned the direction of the charge, and without saying a word, they became deserters. And among these people, His Excellency the Provincial Governor was the first to take the lead. He and his guards became the fastest on the battlefield.

Together, a large-scale battle ended in a hurry. The Cult of the True God won an unprecedented victory in this battle, so after the end of this battle, most of the obstacles for the Cult of God legions to reach Jacqueland, the capital of the Elven Empire, were cleared.

The defeat in this battle severely damaged the Elven Empire cities along the way. They felt that their city could not withstand such a ferocious enemy.

Thus, before the legions of the True God Cult could reach the city, the magnates of the cities along the way fled.

They drove the wagons and dragged their families with them. It's just that there are a lot of carriages in every powerful family, because the carriage not only has to carry the family members of the magnate, but also carries the massive wealth of the powerful family.

However, even so, no one on the road dared to stop or rob these elven magnates. Because their convoy was surrounded by heavily armed guards, these heavily armed elven warriors were the biggest reliance on the powerful to dare to do so.

But it was also very convenient for the later True God Cult legions. The elven magnates in the cities along the way fled and took their armies with them, so those elven empire cities along the way naturally would no longer cause the slightest trouble to the later True God Cult legions.

They easily occupied one city after another, so just over twenty days later, this huge army had reached more than fifty kilometers outside Jacqueland, the capital of the Elven Empire.

"More than fifty kilometers, our army can be reached in a day and a half by a rapid march. Ha, I dare believe that the emperor who ruled this empire and his courtiers are absolutely afraid like rabbits forced into a corner. ”

Lin Shui, the leader of the legion, looked playful. It was all about this time, and he felt that victory was now like candy in his pocket, just waiting for him to reach for it.

But he didn't expect that at this moment, Landu City, which was regarded as the base camp of the True God Cult in the Elven Empire, was being attacked. The army that attacked Lando City was none other than the northern frontier army and navy of the Elven Empire.

Among them, there are 25,000 elven warriors who have received military training since childhood in the northern border army, and there are also more than 10,000 elven warriors on the navy side.

With such two powerful legions, Lando City, which was left with only the old, weak, sick and disabled, was powerless to resist. So it only took more than an hour for the army of the Elven Empire to regain control of the city.

Then, the huge legions marched along the coast to their capital.

"Speed up, speed up. We must save the enemy before it conquers Jacland, and this is our mission. Otherwise, we will all be disgraced!"

The general who led the northern border army looked anxious. Truth be told, he would love to build a giant portal right now and teleport directly to Jacquelander with his army.

But this was not because of his loyalty to his emperor, but because of his pride as a general. This general of the Elven Empire is absolutely not allowed to let himself become a country-loser.

But Lin Shui didn't know all this at this time, and neither did the Emperor of Jacqueland and his courtiers.

Therefore, at this time, the Imperial Prime Minister stood up with a gloomy face, "Your Majesty, you should leave this city. ”
