Chapter 227: Storming the Church

Sensing that the Cathedral would be a tough battle, Sakin asked the squad leader in charge of clearing the battlefield to convey his order to bring back the two hundred recruits sent to the Dreadlord on a transformation mission to join the battle.

"Yes, Lord Sakin! I'll go and tell you to go down at once! ”

The detachment leader led his men to the arsenal, and he was going to clean up from the inside to the outside, so that he could make the most of the soldiers who came from behind.

Sakin nodded, and hurried in the direction of the cathedral, the final battle was waiting for him in front of him!

"Master, it seems that the enemy has already moved, they have organized a defense in this passage, and they have also set up fortifications and barricades."

As soon as he arrived at the cathedral gate, Exion reported the battle to Sagin, and it didn't seem to be going well.

At first, only a handful of Scarlet Crusaders wanted to break out of the cathedral to support the rest of the city, but as their numbers grew, the Forsaken recruits were somewhat overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the five hundred Forsaken recruits who had cleared the arsenal arrived and instantly turned the situation back, but the other party seemed to sense that something was wrong and directly retreated to defense.

In the long corridor, there were many wooden tables, chairs, and weapon racks scattered all over the place, apparently improvised barricades, and some were busy with things.

But it's these messy obstacles that really make it difficult for Forsaken recruits to break into the church.

The cathedral is indeed the place with the largest number of Scarlet Crusaders in the Scarlet Abbey, and it is fully equipped with melee, ranged, and healing, and the configuration is quite perfect.

The slightest carelessness in breaking through an obstacle would result in the Defending Scarlet Crusaders knocking them to the ground, losing about thirty Forsaken recruits just half the way through the corridor.

However, these Forsaken recruits have the advantage of not having any fear of death, and even if the soldiers in front of them keep falling, the soldiers behind will follow suit.

Sakin watched the battle in the corridors, trying to figure out how to break down the enemy's defenses, or else he would have to pile them all the way in with crowd tactics.

"Lord Sakin, we've broken through half of the corridor, and if we keep the pressure going, we should be able to break through this corridor soon!"

The Captain of the Forsaken recruits reported to Sakin that it seemed to him that the most effective way to do that was to force their way in with numerical superiority.

"Don't charge hard, let the shield-wielding team stand in front, and alternately cover the advance like the previous tactics."

Sakin thought of a tactic that he could rely on, and this time instead of him and Exion to open the situation, he relied on the defensive power of the shield wall formation to move forward.

Sure enough, these five-person shieldwall teams came into play again, alternately advancing, forming a serpentine shield wall formation in the corridor that the soldiers could weave around.

The Forsaken recruits quickly rushed through the serpentine passages to the end of the hallway, and then swarmed up to break through the door.

After breaking through the corridors, the Forsaken recruits burst into an open garden surrounded by circular corridors and blood-colored crusaders in formal attire.

Sou! Boom! Rumble!

Sharp arrows, bullets, and various attack spells all beckoned to the Forsaken recruits in an instant, and the dozens of Forsaken soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground in an instant.

It had only just stormed the front of the cathedral's gardens, and had already lost about a hundred Forsaken recruits, and the cost was so great that the clean-up operation was overshadowed.

"The shield-wielding team is in separate formations, and the oblique cover advances!"

Sakin continued to arrange for the shield group to come out to clear the way, and this time they had done something to put pressure diagonally on both sides of the cloister, as instructed by the commander.

Under the cover of a shield wall, Forsaken recruits begin to slash out ranged troops hiding in the cloisters to attack.

These ranged Scarlet Crusaders, while effective at draining melee soldiers, are powerless against their dashing faces.

According to information from Valimas, the number of Scarlet Crusaders in the Scarlet Abbey was around five hundred.

There must be about three hundred and fifty Scarlet Crusaders in this cathedral!

The Scarlet Crusaders in the gardens and cloisters ahead were quickly cleared, and the Forsaken recruits began to charge up the staircase next to the large central pool towards the garden above.

The Scarlet Crusaders certainly wouldn't let the intruders rush to the second floor easily, and they desperately blocked the Forsaken recruits near the stairs in hand-to-hand combat.

For this kind of white-knuckle battle that kills the red eye, Sakin has no strategy to use, he can only command wave after wave of Forsaken recruits to charge upward, using superior numbers to advance the battle line little by little.

The Scarlet Crusaders were truly unusual, and these fanatics fought like madmen, sustaining them with an unexplained hatred of the undead.

The Forsaken recruits attacking the cathedral numbered around seven hundred, twice as many as the Scarlet Crusaders here, but it seemed that the two sides were evenly matched for now.

The average human army might be overwhelmed by the tide of Forsaken recruits, but these crazy Scarlet Crusaders are not only formidable in combat, but they can also fight with the Light.

The Holy Light is a predator-like restraint to the undead, and when hit by a weapon or spell attached to it, the Forsaken recruits will receive a lot of damage.

Their souls will be purified, and the magical energy that supports their bodies will disintegrate, causing them to lose their vitality and eventually scatter into a pile of bones.

The stalemate lasted for a while, but with the arrival of the recruits who had followed Valimassas to the graveyard to transform the Forsaken, the balance was shattered.

Sargin led the Forsaken recruits up to the second-floor garden, a huge pool and long cloister filled with battle-blooded crusaders and forsaken people.

At this point, spell attacks are no longer effective, and almost every fireball or ice arrow that explodes can hurt one's own people.

Moreover, in such a chaotic situation, the Scarlet Crusaders, who were responsible for long-range strikes, directly became the first target of the fire.

The massive wooden door of the church hall was smashed open, and inside was the last resistance of the Scarlet Abbey, the Scarlet Crusader Elite Guard, led by Commander Mograini and Grand Inquisitor Whitemayne himself.

"If you dare to go to war with the Scarlet Crusaders, disgusting undead, I will purify you all."

Commander Mograini raised his brightly held hammer and pointed it at the Forsaken as they poured in through the gates.

The armor on his body seemed to be shrouded in golden light, and standing among the dozens of blood-colored crusaders, it really shone like a light source that illuminated the world.
