When the two sides use weapons such as magic cannons and demon cannons, the soldiers below the rank of Grand Knight have completely become cannon fodder, and if they hit head-on, even the powerhouses of the Holy Realm will instantly turn into slag. (If you like this book, please collect it biquge.info) So Chen Kai was just affected by the aftermath of the explosion, it was definitely a mess of luck, as long as he took two more steps forward, then the ending would be different. Two steps forward, Chen Kai's body may be hit by scattered pieces of wood, or simply directly penetrated by shrapnel, no matter what kind of huge kinetic energy can tear Chen Kai apart in an instant. So Chen Kai didn't hang up, it was definitely lucky, but his current appearance was also more miserable, although the huge impact was absorbed by the armor, but in the end, it was his own body that had to accept the last part.
Therefore, when he was knocked down by the shockwave, there were only less than three hundred vitality left, and the flying debris crackled and hit his body, taking away some life more or less. So when Yiqiē subsided, Chen Kai's vitality was almost close to the bottom, and now just a slight impact could bury his little life. [Search for the latest updates at .z.]
"!" Chen Kai clenched his fists angrily, his palm clutching a broken temple insignia that belonged to the knight guarding the same city wall as him. Only now they had turned into scattered powder along with the city walls, and the walls made of wood and spells had been blasted out of a large crater ten meters in diameter. But compared to the big crater blasted by the magic cannon, the power of the demon cannon's cannonballs is obviously not very sufficient, but for a low-level profession like Chen Kai, it is already an irresistible force. After all, there was only one magic cannon, and the demon cannons pushed out from behind the ghoul position were ten larger. Even if one was reimbursed, there were still nine cannons that slowly advanced and took place, and finally the muzzles erupted in a burst of fiery flames.
With the appearance of those flames, Chen Kai heard a terrifying roar again, and the entire earth seemed to tremble in this place. It was the force generated by the explosion of many shells with extremely powerful explosions, which was absolutely difficult to resist, and even the walls of the town turned into ashes the moment they were hit. After all, the building foundation of the town at the foot of the holy mountain is just an ordinary residential town, and its wall height is less than five meters, which is not even a fourth-level town wall. Even the walls of Zela Fortress were bombarded by the demon cannons in an instant, basically a cannon and a big crater, and the thick walls of more than 100 meters high would have been bombarded by the demon cannons if they were not maintained by the underground magic array. At the beginning, just one cannon made the fortress of Zela disgraced, and there were nine of them lined up outside, which was almost like erasing the entire town from the map. Of course, if these demon cannons were larger, they might have been possible, but apparently they were not the same as the one that appeared outside of Zela's fortress in the first place.
First of all, in terms of range, I don't know how much, and secondly, in terms of power, if it is really the same demon cannon as at the beginning, then even if Chen Kai stays a little farther, it will be affected. At that time, no matter how thick the armor Chen Kai was, he would be shocked to death by the shock wave, so the power of these demon cannons was not as high as imagined, and they that needed to shoot at close range basically fell within the range of the fine iron cannons. More than a dozen cannons on the walls of the town were firing almost all the time, trying to suppress the demon cannons with their numbers, and even shatter their protective spells to shatter these cannons. It's just that in front of the demon cannon are not only protective spells, but also skeleton knights and soldiers. It is very common for some bone knights to resist cannonballs, that is, to catch the ghouls around them and throw them into the sky, and use their ** to block those flying cannonballs. Because the cannonball's shells were stuffed with explosive hedron powder, it could not have traveled too fast, and if it was too fast, the shells would explode in the first place of discharge.
This means that these skeleton knights can easily catch the fiery cannonballs in the air, so as to throw out the ghouls to resist.
In fact, the guards on the city walls also tried to block the cannonballs flying from the corpses of ghouls on the ground, but the cannonballs fired by the demon cannons were too powerful to be used even if they were blocked. The power generated by the explosion could still directly destroy the surrounding ground, and it was difficult for even a Grand Knight-level Templar to completely resist under the attack of this shockwave.
By the time Chen Kai could move slowly, the entire town at the foot of the Holy Mountain had been bombarded, especially the mountainside of the Holy Mountain where the magic guide cannon was placed, where the surrounding area was almost full of dense craters. Crater after crater has turned the beautiful mountain into a shattered place, though. Due to the range, almost not a single shell landed on the magic cannon, which was perhaps the best of all misfortunes. At least before the magic cannon was destroyed, the temple's defensive strength still existed, but the magic cannon needed a long interval to fire once, and the interval between each time was almost more than half an hour, while the demon cannon could fire a cannonball in only fifteen minutes, and the firing speed was much worse than the two. Therefore, what Chen Kai heard in his ears was basically the sound of demon cannon firing and cannonball explosions, and it was completely relying on its extremely fast reloading speed to suppress the counterattack on the city wall.
"The city defense is estimated to not last long, if you don't kill those cannons again, the study will be finished! Ahem... Unlucky, there is no magic healing, the days are really sad! Chen Kai cautiously touched the wall and retreated, coughing with every step he took, and then a trace of dark red blood was cleared from his lungs with his cough. This was only because he was injured in the lungs by the shock wave of the shell, causing bleeding in his internal organs. Everywhere Chen Kai could see, there were basically injured Templar knights, of course, there were more scattered corpse pieces, some of which belonged to the temple side, and some belonged to ghouls, and the preservation of these corpses and flesh and blood made the bluestone-paved road extremely filthy. When Chen Kai went to the town to treat the wounded, a team of soldiers from the temple hurriedly rushed to the city with large bags of sandbags, and they were all hurrying every minute to strengthen the city defense. Although the temple had long considered this situation, and those mages had been working with the soldiers to construct defensive positions, the speed of the construction was far less fast than the speed of destruction.
After all, even if it was a high-level earth elemental mage, it would take more than half an hour to build a wall that was 100 meters long and 1 meter wide, and that was when the level of this mage exceeded the eighth order. If it is below the eighth order, it will take dozens of people to help build a low wall with a height of no more than one meter in a short time, but such a low wall will only take half an hour to be shattered by two demon cannons, and the time and number of times it will actually be attacked are not more than two times. This speed of destruction, combined with the other long-range siege weapons that were frantically attacking, destroyed the entire town's city defenses almost all the time, and countless defensive walls that had been built with great difficulty had been destroyed several times in less than half a day after they were built. The mages were exhausted, and they were now struggling to even stand up straight.
When Chen Kai saw the medical station where the wounded were being treated, the scene in front of him made him stunned for a moment, but he soon recovered, because he had seen an even more tragic situation in the Farah Fortress. It's just that since the wounded are concentrated in this one place, it looks like the situation is a little stricter than in the Farah Fortress. It's just that fortunately, although the temple is mainly based on divine treatment, it still pays great attention to drug development and pharmacist training, after all, the purpose of divine treatment is to stimulate the crazy regeneration of cells. Therefore, no matter how advanced the divine art is, it will lose some life force while healing, so in many cases, the temple does not encourage the priest to use divine magic to treat ordinary diseases, but tries to use medicine to control it.
Of course, if it is an injury caused by some filthy power, it is most correct to use divine magic to heal it, because only then can those filthy forces be completely removed.
Of course, if it was just an ordinary wound, there was no danger to the Templars at all, as long as they could recover quickly with medicine, only injuries such as mutilated limbs would cause them trouble, because the temple was not a charity. Releasing a high-level rejuvenating divine technique is also a very difficult thing for the temple, after all, this kind of divine technique of severed limb rebirth already belongs to the category of high-level divine arts, and the power consumed to release it once is not something that an ordinary high-ranking priest can bear. Even bishop-level priests have certain restrictions on this kind of magic mother, and the most important thing is that they have now lost the ability to release magic skills, so those disabled Templar Knights are destined to not be able to recover their limbs as quickly as players like Chen Kai. At the same time, the corpse poison damage caused by the ghouls cannot be dispelled with drugs at all, and can only rely on the Templars' own fighting spirit to fight a little bit.
If you have a divine skill, you may only need a purification magic spell to completely dispel the corpse poison on hundreds of Templar Knights. But now, let alone the Purification Divine Technique, even a wisp of holy fire would not be able to summon it, because now the God of Dawn does not answer the prayers of the believers at all. In fact, Chen Kai was wondering if the Lord of Dawn Aurora he believed in was hanging up, if it weren't for that, even if this god was stingy, he couldn't ignore his own believers when his temple was in the most danger, and most importantly, he took back the magic he had given. If it weren't for his own self-care, he should have given some magic to help his followers. According to the information that Chen Kai learned, when the magic of the Lord of Dawn disappeared, players on the Internet had already begun to search for information related to this situation. However, all players in the Temple of Dawn quickly discovered that this similar thing had happened several times in history, but the ending was the fall of the god or simply falling asleep, which often represented the prelude to the loss of a certain amount of divine power of the main god.
Therefore, the players of the Temple of Dawn on the Internet are very worried, because whether the gods fall or fall into a deep sleep, it means that they will lose their magic for a long time. Unlike the natives, the player can change their faith to choose the gods they believe in, but the player's class is directly tied to the power of the gods. For example, Chen Kai's profession is now a star knight in the Temple of Dawn, and only if he believes in the Lord of Dawn, he is a star knight, once he loses the power of the gods, he will become an ordinary temple knight or even a wandering knight. Therefore, for the player, the fall of the god they believe in is definitely a very big and far-reaching thing, far more terrible than the fall of the archbishop of the Earth Temple. After all, if the Earth Temple Archbishop hangs up the magic power that affects the Earth Temple Knights at most, as long as he retrieves the Earth Scepter, he can restore it again, but if the Lord of Dawn hangs up, it will all be over.
It's a pity that no matter how nervous the player is, they can't intervene in the battle between the gods, and they can't even see it. So far, the only people who have seen the battle between the gods may be Chen Kai and his gang, but they have no intention of releasing a video of the battle. Therefore, the players of the Temple of Dawn on the Internet are tirelessly searching for news related to the gods, and of course, they are also spreading the battle at the foot of the holy mountain. To Chen Kai's surprise, the originally relatively safe Dawn Capital was also attacked by ghouls after the battle in the Holy Mountain entered the white heat, although it was only attacked by tens of thousands of low-level ghouls, but it successfully blocked the reinforcements sent by the Dawn Capital. In this way, the Holy Mountain will not need to get the slightest outside aid in a day or two, and even if the Holy Mountain falls, the Dawn Capital will soon be captured and become the first first-level main city to fall into the hands of the dark camp.
It's just that after the fall of the Holy Mountain, if the bones of those strong people on the Holy Mountain are used by the dark mages, then even if the Dawn Capital has a few magic cannons, it can't stop the attacks of many strong people who have become bone creatures. So even though there were ghouls attacking outside, the Dawn Capital still slowed out thousands of Templars who wanted to support the Holy Mountain, but the reinforcements were blocked by ghouls before they could leave the city. A large number of low-level ghoul armies reappeared on the other side of Dawn City, blocking the path of the Templar army's advance, and the ghouls, who were far more numerous than the Templars, simply used crowd tactics to block the Templar Knights who were trying to break through. As for the army composed of players belonging to the Temple of Dawn, even the City of Dawn could not be approached, and now the largest number of ghouls in the entire Golden Plains was no longer horse thieves, but ghouls all over the mountains.
According to the information that Chen Kai learned, at least more than 20 towns have been breached by ghouls, which means that at least nearly a million aboriginal humans and player corpses have become ghouls. More than half of them were besieging the Holy Mountain, the other quarter were besieging the Holy Mountain, and the remaining quarter were wandering the Great Plains to intercept reinforcements. This is a very terrifying number, and the more people they kill, the more terrifying the number becomes, and many player knights often attack ghouls surrounded by enemies that are several times their own, and then end up in total annihilation. In this way, the corpses of these players will become a source of food for ghouls and more ghouls, which will cause the ghouls on the Great Plains to snowball, and most importantly, the ghouls' bodies will not rot in winter. Even if they are on fire, they will be free from the flame attachment as soon as they roll into the snowdrift, which makes the fire attack very ineffective against them, and the player has no way to exert the power of the knight group charge in the snow, so they can only turn into infantry and fight the tall mutant ghouls. In this way, the player has almost no advantage, and basically any large group of ghouls is abused except for bullying the emaciated low-level ghouls.
Of course, this qiē had nothing to do with Chen Kai, the only thing he could do now was to line up to receive treatment from the temple medical officer, then line up to receive the rationed medicine from the quartermaster, and then find a corner to bandage his wound and wait for his body to recover. When his body was recovering, Chen Kai would take out a few breadfruits from his backpack and roast them on the campfire in the camp, sometimes giving some to the injured knights on the side, after all, this and the breadfruit that was said to contain a certain amount of divine power were very good for injuries. It's just that the breadfruit that used to be readily available is no longer there, because it is impossible to plant these fruit trees on the ridge of the holy mountain, they all grow in the fields outside the holy mountain, and now the fields have become scorched earth, and there is not a trace of green plants left. So it's possible that these breadfruits in Chen Kai's backpack are the last breadfruits now, at least for a short time.
The healing camp arranged by the temple was in the safest place, so Chen Kai didn't have to worry about seeing a cannonball suddenly fall on his head, and in the midst of a terrifying roar, he took out a blanket from his backpack and slowly fell asleep against the wall. The intense fighting of the whole day and several mental stimulation made him feel very tired, so he began to get sleepy and prepared to take a nap before it was dark. In fact, many of the wounded soldiers in the medical camp did not dare to sleep, they were afraid that when they fell asleep, the fighting spirit in their bodies would stop functioning, so that those corpse poison would invade their bodies and kill them into ghouls, and only Chen Kai, an alien traveler, dared to sleep after being injured. Of course, this is also because Chen Kai's injuries are not the limb injuries of being attacked by ghouls, but the shock injuries of feather arrows and cannonball shockwaves, so he does not have any corpse poison and naturally does not have to worry about becoming a ghoul.
While Chen Kai was sleeping, the battle in the Holy Mountain was still going on, and the hundreds of thousands of temple members on the entire Holy Mountain had now been completely mobilized. In fact, as the final place of faith of the Temple of Dawn, the entire Aurora Oath Mountain is inhabited by at least 200,000 temple members, including servants and pilgrims, and more of them are temple clergy and Templars who have been trained for generations. They are loyal to the Temple, believing in the great Lord of the Dawn, and some of them are out-and-out fanatics who have not even stepped out of the Temple from birth to death, and in fact the Temple also retains the most hidden fanatic knights. It's just that the gods of reality have withdrawn their divine arts, and the combat power of the fanatic knights has been reduced by at least half, so the upper echelons of the temple have been unwilling to release this power and sacrifice it in vain, so they can only rely on ordinary knights to resist the attack of ghouls. But in the end, the power was used passively, as the temple needed them to storm the positions of the Bone Knights, destroy their defenses, and then destroy the demon cannons. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of these fanatic knights, the temple's rich storage of magic scrolls was fully opened, and although ordinary spellcasting magic could not be used, the magic scrolls that had sealed their power could still be used. It's just that the power of the scroll is definitely not comparable to the original divine art, and it can only barely have the power of the original divine art, but no one cares about this anymore.
"For the glory of Aurora!" As more than 3,000 Templar knights raised their swords and shouted this, the strongest wave of the Temple's counterattack erupted. Almost every one of these three thousand Templars had the power of a Grand Knight, they were stuffed with divine scrolls, and their eyes exuded fanatical faith and mortal faith, in other words, these three thousand people were fanatical terrorists who could rush to suicide with explosives bags for religious beliefs.
"Kill !!" When a drawbridge in the town fell heavily, three thousand Templar knights with the belief of death instantly rushed down from the city wall on their horses, and they all knew that they were going to die or live, but none of them retreated.
As they roared and rushed out, the temple's magic cannon that had been dormant for half an hour burst into the light of death again, and a strong magical beam instantly pierced the air and shot towards the army of ghouls outside the city.
