Chapter 104: The Demon God is invincible and extraordinary
The East China Sea is the richest region of Ora, and its annual tax revenue accounts for almost half of Ora's fiscal revenue, and if it is not here, the royal family's rule over Ola will become precarious, which is an important reason why Renault was able to put aside his hatred of Rafa and turn to Freya.
And Jinlang City is the most prominent city of the seven cities of rebellion, it is not only the largest of the seven cities, but also the richest, the most important thing is that it is a small undulating plain outside the city, almost no danger to defend, let the most unmilitary people make decisions, the primary target will only be here.
Renaud took out a telescope with the imprint of the flame rose, and looked at the Golden Wave City in the distance, which was given to him by his subordinates, he thought it was very useful, from the two pieces of glass, he could see the head of the Golden Wave City clearly, but unfortunately there was no trace of Freya.
"That eccentric old man of your, he just gave the richest east to that slut!" Seeing the numerous defenders and heavy armor of the defenders of Jinlang City, Renaud was very depressed, he thought that he had secured the throne, but he did not expect that irritating accidents followed, such accidents made him feel like a thorn in his back, he always couldn't help but imagine that the officials behind him were talking about his improper position, which also forced him to do everything he could to sweep away all rebellion.
"Order the army to rest and recuperate, and attack the city early tomorrow morning. Renault put away his binoculars and said to Jarvis.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Jarvis was a little surprised, he thought that Renault would not be able to control himself and ordered an immediate siege of the city, thinking of this, he glanced back at the woman in the cloak.
That night, Renault's 150,000 troops camped on the spot, and the barracks stretched for several miles, which looked quite amazing, but the Jinlang City, which was close at hand, did not seem to have the slightest timidity, neither begging nor abandoning the city and fleeing, as if it had really decided to fight Renault to the death.
At night, Freya arrives at the head of the city with Carly and Tina, the Witch of the Sky, where the soldiers are carrying stones and oil pots and other counter-attack equipment, but she doesn't expect this alone to hold off Renault's army.
In fact, she has many ways to wipe out Renault's army, but the premise is that magic is required, and judging from the red banner outside the city, the archbishop of the church has also arrived, since the last time she escaped death, she has always been apprehensive about the monster controlled by the church, and she dare not rashly show up and use magic, so it is better to use conspiracy than yang conspiracy.
"Carly, how are the lords of the Seven Cities in control?" Freya tightened her long hand strap so as not to reveal her glowing arms.
"Your Highness, the City Lord of the Seven Cities is under our control, I have asked you to sign a contract to jointly support you as the Empress of Heaven, and they have issued a declaration in their respective territories, and now their army to aid Jinlang City has entered the city through the east gate. β
Carly didn't expect that she would be able to return to Freya, she thought that Freya was dead after being dismissed, but now she was standing in front of her alive, and she swept away the tiredness of the past, and her eyes were full of high fighting spirit, which was exactly what she wanted to see.
"Empress......" Freya chuckled, "I didn't expect to be pushed into the position I spurned. β
"It's your responsibility. β
"It's Freya's responsibility, not mine......" Freya's eyes flashed with confusion, "but I've forgotten who I am......"
The night passed in a hurry, and many of the soldiers on both sides had not slept all night, but the horn of getting up had already sounded, and the busy army began to assemble the huge siege equipment, and just after breakfast, the army was in full formation, when the first rays of the sun in the east had just risen over the horizon.
In the comfortable morning sun, Renault, dressed in shining armor, drew his knight's sword and shouted, "Attack!"
"Roar!!"
The 150,000-strong army let out a deafening roar and began to push the huge siege equipment slowly forward, because Freya did not go out of the city to fight, and the cavalry, which had always been good at raiding, was useless, so all the horses were abandoned, and the whole battlefield was full of infantry in heavy armor and marching on foot, except for the heralds.
In the midst of the army, Renault felt that his blood was about to boil, roared, and regardless of the screams of the people around him, he rode his horse one step ahead of the army and rushed to Jinlang City alone.
In the morning sun, Reynold's armor glistened and was an excellent target, and the arrows at the head of the city fell like locusts, threatening to shoot him into a sieve, and he swung his great sword to fend off all the arrows that came at him, and none of them could hurt him, not even the horses under his crotch.
Seeing that Renault was so brave, the morale of the army soared, and they roared in unison, and rushed towards the city wall faster.
Renault's speed was so fast that the knight at the head of the city was about to continue shooting, but he had already reached the moat, which was not too wide, and the arrow was as promised, but he had already leaped from his horse, crossed the moat, and then slashed two swords in a rage, and the huge chains of the wooden bridge over the moat were broken.
"Bang!"
The wooden bridge slammed down, paving a road to the city, and Renault didn't care about his horse being shot into a hedgehog, and rushed to the city wall under the gate, brandishing his great sword, and the huge gate of wood mixed with steel was suddenly slashed and shook by him.
The guards at the head of the city had never seen such a brave and extraordinary character, and they were all shocked, and Renault had already entered the city gate cave and could no longer attack.
"Interesting. Freya frowned slightly, and held out her hand into the distance.
There was an indiscernible flash of light in the sky above the battlefield, and everyone felt nothing but something bright and vanished.
And the next moment, all the equipment used for engineering in Renault's army was burned, from the huge wooden siege frame catapult that was as large as four or five zhang high, to the ordinary ladder, and even the rushing car and the towering banner used to hit the door, all of them were on fire, and these wood seemed to burn out from the middle, and it burned red in just an instant, and many soldiers rolled down from the siege frame.
Of course, the burning also included the huge wooden bridge over the moat, and the army rushed to the moat while bearing the arrows and rubble falling from the locusts at the head of the city, only to find that the bridge had already been ignited and soon collapsed, but they had apparently planned to pay some casualties, and forcibly pushed the unburned siege equipment into the river, and then threw almost one shield into it.
Since Jinlang City is a commercial city, it never expected that it would be used to defend against such a large army, so the moat is only for show, although there is water in it, but it is not deep at all, and the knights' shields are thrown on the discarded equipment that has been extinguished, and two "iron bridges" are quickly built.
"Let those lords come to the city without reinforcements, and all go to block the city gates. Freya was a little surprised, she had just used magic, but the archbishop's men who stayed at the back of the battlefield did not move, and the monster did not appear, "Could it be that the monster can only appear in the church?"
Renault, who was screaming, had already slashed the gate to pieces, and seeing that the men and horses behind him were about to rush up, he took a step back, jumped up, and slammed into the gate like a siege car with black air, giving the final blow to the gate that looked precarious.
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound at the city gate, and the huge bolt on the inside broke in response, and the gate of Jinlang City was breached.
Facing the spear that stabbed in unison, Renault did not panic, turned around like a whirlwind, dodged the spear, and slashed out a sword, blood gushed out, and several heads fell to the ground suddenly.
Then more blades attacked, he did not retreat, but advanced, directly leaped into the dense defenders, causing great confusion to the defenders, the defenders behind did not know what was happening in front, and thought that the enemy had entered the city in large numbers, and all rushed over, and the result was to squeeze their companions into Renault's greatsword.
Blood splashed on Renault's body, and he wielded the big sword wantonly, even though the big sword had been cut to the edge, but he didn't feel the slightest tiredness, but felt free, as if he had endless strength, every weapon around him was so slow in his eyes, even if it was dangerous, but he could successfully dodge it every time.
Although the people around him were extremely noisy, but his heart was as calm as water, every time he swung the big sword, he felt that he was a little calmer, he could even clearly feel his heartbeat, the world around him seemed to have turned black and white, and he was colored, only by cutting through the skin of the enemy, their blood flowed out, the world in his eyes had other color embellishments.
The title "Demon God" began to spread rapidly among the defenders, and many people were already secretly frightened and wanted to retreat, but fortunately, Carly, who arrived in time, used the nightmare ability to plant in the minds of every soldier the belief that they would never flinch and see death as home, which stopped the rout of the defenders.
Because Renault's army had no siege equipment, they could only attack from the Renault gate, but so many people had to enter through one gate, it was really difficult, so they were all blocked at the city gate, and the defenders on the wall above their heads had been shooting arrows downwards to harass, and Renault's army suffered heavy casualties for a while.
"Your Highness, our forces are all concentrated in the West City Gate, what about the other City Gates?" Tina asked worriedly, glancing at the soldiers under the city who wanted to disperse to attack the other city gates.
"No, they won't go to the other gates. Freya's gaze kept falling on the Archbishop and his party in the distance, as if she didn't care about the battle around her.
"Why?"
"Because it's our conspiracy. β
As soon as the words fell, YΓ‘rvis, as the commander of the army, issued an order to the herald, and the herald immediately rode his horse and waved the colorful flag in his hand, which meant "protect Your Majesty, and do not disperse the troops." β
The poor knights had to respect the order, and while holding their shields, they crowded into the city gates, and such a foolish order caused heavy losses to Renault's army, and many of the soldiers were killed not in battle, but by arrows above their heads on the way into the city.
"Almost, don't wear this army down. β
Freya snorted and walked to the stairs of the lower wall, looking at the hole in the gate, which was a mess on the ground.
Renault, who is like a demon god, is still fighting bloodily, although he has had an adventure, but after all, he has not escaped the shackles of mortals, and his body has been stabbed with many wounds from cold guns, but his calm eyes are indeed a little intimidating.
"The power given to you is always not as good as your own. Freya could tell at a glance that he had been cast by a witch, but it seemed that he had more than just witch magic.
She looked at Renault, and her mind moved, and a small flash of light exploded in front of him.
"Ahhh
The intense pain finally forced him out of the pleasure of killing, and the skin all over his body emitted scorched white smoke, although there was no trace of burning, but the burning pain like a thousand needles hurt him to the ground, convulsions violently, and he seemed to have turned into a monster covered in smoke.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding~"
Just as Freya had imagined, Jarvis let out a golden cry of retreat, and Renault's army in the city was thrown into disarray, their companions behind them retreating, and they themselves were surrounded by enemy troops.
"Let them go. Freya shouted.
The defenders of Jinlang City broke away from the battlefield, and the battle gradually stopped, and the soldiers around Renault couldn't believe that they could leave alive, so they were surprised to set up Renault, who was twitching and smoking, and quickly retreated.
"After all, mortals cannot defeat the transcendent, not even if they steal the power of the devil. β
Freya looked at Renault's army as the tide receded, and there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes.
Subsequently, the shouts of "Long live the Empress of Heaven" came out in Jinlang City.
