Kyleheimer and the other eleven silver shield knights had already come to the section of the city wall where Li Qing had been stationed alone.

Standing on this outer wall, although it increased their vision, it was not enough for them to see the battle inside the castle.

The fortress-style buildings are mostly raised from the outside to the inside. This ten-meter-high exterior wall is only the lowest wall. Inside, there are several higher walls, and a dozen higher artillery forts.

Standing on this façade, only a small circular area between the exterior wall and the second inner wall can be seen. And then the war inside, you can't see it. I could only see the smoke of gunpowder rising and hear the never-ending sound of tragic killing.

A knight with a silver shield looked at his pocket watch and frowned, "The second batch of reinforcements has been in for an hour, and the battle is not over yet." The two groups of 6,000 armies before and after fought for so long and could not defeat the fortress guarded by more than 2,000 sailors...... The combat power of the Amaterasu Army is too weak, right? ”

As he was talking, inside the fortress dozens of meters away, on a closed artillery barrier ten meters higher than the outer wall, seven cannon shots suddenly erupted. In the midst of the smoke of gunpowder, seven cannonballs the size of sea bowls burst through the air and roared towards the Silver Shield Knights.

The Silver Shield Knights were not in a hurry, most of the Silver Shield Knights did not move, only three Silver Shield Knights turned slightly sideways, avoiding three shells. Three other shells missed, and the last shell was caught in the palm of Kellheimer's hand.

Kellheimer threw the hot iron bullet at the gun, and with a sudden thrust of his silver-gloved hand, the cannonball shot back twice as fast as it had come, and blasted through the cannon window into the enclosed gun barret.

Clang! A deafening sound of gold and iron crash sounded, and the shell was hitting the muzzle of the gun in front of the gun window, and the heavy cannon body was immediately hit by the huge force contained in the shell, and spun and swept through the gun barrier.

The enclosed space of the gun barrier allows the shells and the gun body to refract and bounce, collide and crush inside. Rao was dozens of meters away, and there were earth-shattering shouts and noisy guns, and the knights with silver shields on the outer wall still heard the dull sound of impact, human body shattering, bone cracking, and terrible screams coming from the fort.

There was also a puff of blood mist erupting from the seven cannon windows in that row, dyeing the gray stone walls outside the cannon windows into a dazzling blood red.

The Knights of the Silver Shield did not rejoice in Kellheimer's victory, not even a word of praise. It seems that in their eyes, the result of this battle of their deputy commander, Lord Kellheimer, is a matter of course, a trivial matter, no matter how ordinary and ordinary, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Kellheimer also seemed to have done a trivial thing, and when he withdrew his gaze from the fortress, there was no wave in his dark brown eyes, and he said lightly:

"It's not that the Amaterasu Army is too weak, it's that the Imperial Army's obsession with defending the territory is too strong. With the righteousness of guarding the territory, the imperial army in the fortress, even if it is only a sailor who is not good at land warfare, and the strength is at an absolute disadvantage, can burst out with fanatical fighting spirit and combat power.

"And Amaterasu...... But as our servant army, fighting for us. The fighting spirit was already a little worse. If it weren't for us here to supervise the battle and threaten with death, the Amaterasu army would have collapsed and retreated long ago. ”

One of the knights with a silver shield sighed, "It's a pity that this place has been artificially transformed into a dead magic area. Otherwise, with the blessing of the battle priests, no matter how weak the fighting spirit of the Amaterasu Army is, it can still exert stronger combat power. This fortress has also been laid down a long time ago. ”

The Battle Priest of the Radiant Holy Sect, in addition to his powerful personal combat skills, also has very powerful auxiliary abilities.

A battle priest of level 10 or above can cast the "Aura of Glory", a group blessing magic unique to the Lord of Radiance.

Each aura of glory can bless hundreds of people at the same time. All soldiers who are blessed by the aura of glory will increase their physical strength, strength, and agility by one percent within half an hour. Morale can also become extremely fanatical, fearless to death, but not losing reason.

What's even more powerful is that the effects of the Glory Aura stack. Can stack up to three auras.

Under the shroud of the triple aura, the soldiers' physical strength, strength, and agility will be increased by 30%, and they will receive a layer of holy light shield equivalent to ordinary knight's plate armor. Morale is even higher and fanatical, and it is not affected by low-level mental spells such as Dread, and it also has the ability to heal itself at the level of "healing minor injuries".

The Great Priest above the sixteenth level is even more incredible, able to cast the "Divine Aura". One divine aura is enough to bless three hundred people at a time. Duration one hour. The blessing effect is equivalent to a triple glory aura stack.

And the divine aura can also be stacked triple.

Under the superposition of the triple divine aura, the soldiers' various qualities can be fully doubled, and they can obtain a shield of holy light with a defense equivalent to a five-centimeter-thick homogeneous steel plate, and can also withstand three magic attacks below the third level, and have the self-healing ability of "healing minor injuries". The morale is so high that even if you fight to the bottom of the battle, you will never collapse.

As for the legendary-level Holy Spirit Priest, it was even more terrifying. With the blessing of a Holy Spirit Priest, even a hundred militiamen with an average level of no more than Tier 2 could easily defeat a thousand elite troops with an average rank of five or six.

The reason why the Holy Light Alliance was able to sweep the world and destroy countless countries, from the west to the east, was that the battle priesthood of the Lord of Radiance played a great role in it.

If there is no transcendent forbidden area, if the five battle priests who came with the army this time can exert their power, then this port fortress has been captured a long time ago, and it is impossible to resist until now-you must know that the five battle priests, among them there is a seventeenth-level great priest. The other four priests are also middle-level priests of the twelfth or thirteenth level!

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

The existence of the transcendent forbidden area abolished the strong mana power of the Amaterasu Army, and also abolished the magic advantage of the Amaterasu Army. With the blood lesson of those five white-robed mages, the priests and priests in the Amaterasu Army did not dare to step on the battlefield at all, for fear of flying a feather arrow through their throats.

"Even if the priests and priests can't do anything, this fortress won't last long."

A knight with a silver shield said optimistically: "After all, the Imperial Army has limited strength, and no matter how high the morale is, it will be difficult to offset the huge gap in strength. Judging by the sounds on the battlefield, the battle line should have advanced behind the third inner wall, and I estimate that by three o'clock in the afternoon at the latest, the Imperial defenders in the fortress will be completely annihilated. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, not far from the Silver Shield Knights, under the corner of the second inner wall, a secret door suddenly opened, and a group of Imperial soldiers rushed out of the secret door.

After seeing the eleven silver-shielded knights on the outer wall, the group of imperial soldiers was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then did not come forward to fight, nor did they flee in a panic, but ran to the nearest inner wall gate without saying a word, passed through the gate, and killed the inside of the fortress.

This group of Imperial soldiers, apparently, had gone around the inside of the fortress through a secret passage, came to the outer area that had been emptied by the Amaterasu Army, and made a detour to the back of the Amaterasu Army to launch a surprise attack.

"It seems that the battle line has not fully advanced behind the third layer of inner walls." A knight with a silver shield said, "The area that has been cleared on the surface can still appear at any time with the appearance of Imperial defenders. ”

The Silver Shield Knight, who was optimistic about the battle situation, smiled awkwardly, "There seem to be a lot of secret passages in this fortress, and the Imperial Army is familiar with the terrain, so it is indeed a bit troublesome to drill around. However, this is only a minor trouble, the strength of the Imperial Army is always limited, and no matter how much you rely on the Secret Daoqi Army, it is impossible to erase the strategic disadvantage. ”

"But it is unlikely that the Imperial defenders in the fort will be emptied before three o'clock in the afternoon. Lord Kellheimer, do you want to transfer another team of Amaterasu soldiers to seal off the area that has been emptied, and reduce the space for the Imperial defenders to operate? ”

Kellheimer didn't answer. He only raised his head, narrowed his eyes, gathered his eyes, and looked at the hilltop fortress.

At the top of the hill, the woman in gold armor stood firmly on top of the fort, her face hidden by a dark gold mask, and her expression could not be seen clearly. But her eyes were calm, calm, and she seemed to be confident, and everything was under control.

Kyleheimer frowned slightly, and suddenly a bad feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

Glancing at the golden-armored woman again, Kylheimer's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Hopkins' spatial blockade may not be able to block that legendary powerhouse's request for help!" ”

"What?" Seeing that Kylheimer answered the question, the Silver Shield Knights were stunned, "Your Excellency, what do you mean......"

"Master Hopkins said that although that woman's aura is only a beginner of the Legend, her control of the understanding of the rules is far beyond that of the Hopkins Master of the Second Order of the Legend."

Kellheimer said in a deep voice, "This area of dead magic may have come from her." If she is really that strong, then Master Hopkins' space blockade will definitely not be able to prevent her from sending a letter to the main force of the Imperial Navy asking for help! ”

Speaking of this, his eyes flashed, he glanced deeply at Su Su on the mountain, jumped off the city wall, and strode towards the city, saying as he walked: "We were fooled!" That woman is stalling for time! As soon as she started the war, she used thunderous means, obliterated the seven-headed tengu, and attacked the Amaterasu, just to deter the strong of our army, so that the strong of our army did not dare to attack easily, and the battle was quickly resolved. ”

Ten knights with a silver shield jumped off the wall with him and walked into the city, listening to him analyze the situation:

"Creating a dead magic area to negate our army's magic advantage is also to allow our army to fight a regular battle with the Imperial defenders in order to delay for a longer time. But under the absolute superiority of our army, Zhongshan Island will inevitably be lost, so what's the point of delaying time? A sane legendary mage would never do such a meaningless thing.

"So, I'm sure, she's already sent the letter for help. And using her deep understanding of the rules, she did not touch Master Hopkins's spatial seal, and concealed Master Hopkins' perception.

"The defenders of Zhongshan Island discovered the whereabouts of our army last night and prepared for war all night, and the letter for help must have been sent last night. With the reaction speed of the Imperial Army, with this whole night and a whole morning, the main force of the Imperial East Sea Fleet must have been ready to set off. Now you may have left the port and are heading for Nakayama Island.

"That woman had already figured it out. All she did was to drag us here! Drag until the main force of the East China Sea Fleet arrives, and then join forces with the outside and wipe out our army! ”

Kellheimer finished his speculation in one breath, pulled out the knight's sword with a sonorous sound, and said: "We must not be led by her by the nose, we must fight quickly and annihilate the defenders of Zhongshan Island as soon as possible." Before the arrival of the main force of the Empire's East China Sea Fleet, Zhongshan Island must be built into a fortress that will never be captured! So ......"

He took a deep breath, looked at the ten Silver Shield Knights, and said heavily, "Work in pairs, scatter the search, find that Imperial officer, kill him, and break the pillars of the Imperial defenders!" ”
