The joy of dying in a desperate situation made the soldiers of the city ignore the strange timing of the arrival of this army, and they quickly prepared to open the city gates, and when the vanguard knights approached, they were pleasantly surprised to confirm that the mighty procession of 2,000 men was actually from the diocese of Bogdor.

"Open the gates!"

The "Holy Shield" in the inner city has been shattered, and these soldiers can't care about anything else, they just hope that the army that suddenly appeared in front of them can immediately relieve the Pope of the siege!

Knowing the situation in the city, the first 300 Templars rushed towards the inner city, followed by 600 infantry troops led by Bishop Benjamin - Rubens armed with a scepter, led the last reserve of nearly 2,000 men into the city to divide and surround it, and divided a team of 500 men to go straight to the west gate and the main gate to rescue the defenders.

"Street fighting" was rare in the Cold Weapons era, as the defenders often surrendered or abandoned resistance after the city was breached. But the current situation is obviously different, one side has no intention of "occupying", and the other side has come from afar just to clear it, so the battle suddenly broke out outside the walls of the inner city!

The Shadow Blade Elite and Elder Dean of the Viper Cross had already entered the inner city at this time, and was fighting with the Cardinal and the High Temple Guards. Therefore, all that remained outside the inner city walls were the "Pit Viper Cross" troops who were lining up to climb the ladder and prepare to enter the inner city.

They stared at the enemy on the inner city wall, but they didn't expect that at this time, they would suddenly kill two reinforced knight troops, and they didn't have time to put up a defensive formation, and they were suddenly killed, and they were screaming on their backs...

Fewer than 1,800 "Viper Cross" troops stormed the city, and more than 400 of them remained at the west gate to block the soldiers who were originally defending the city and secure control of the city gate. The remaining 1,400 or so men were now separated and were attacking the three gates of the inner city, and nearly half of them had already rushed into the inner city.

In this case, the sudden rush of the Templar army into the city was completely equivalent to an attack from behind, and the two forces outside the inner city wall were crushed in one shot - when the accident happened, Elvis, who had already captured the "Kiss of the Viper", rushed out of the church, he raised his scepter in his hand, and shouted at Dean and the others who were fighting: "The Pope is dead! Long live the Viper Cross!"

These words struck the struggling cardinals, and their morale collapsed and they retreated. But they didn't know that this was a code agreed by Elvis and Dean and the others in advance, and Dean and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the scepter was in hand—but before they could make the next decision, the temple guards who were still struggling to support the city wall shouted excitedly:

"Reinforcements have arrived! The Knights Templar have come to their aid!"

Dean and the others changed color... Elvis held the scepter and "snapped" two steps directly onto the city wall like a gecko, and the dagger in his hand directly stabbed the temple guard who had just shouted to death, his eyes looked out, and he immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "Two teams of cavalry, six hundred infantry, damn, what's going on?!"

He was so confused that he couldn't figure out where the two cavalry teams that had suddenly appeared came from, and standing at this height, he could just see the infantry running in the distance—Benjamin's white robe was so conspicuous that it made his heart fall to the bottom.

What the hell went wrong?!

The anxious Elvis kicked the corpse next to him off the city wall, Dean below's face was gloomy, although the cardinal order in front of him was at a disadvantage, but after all, this group of old guys was extraordinary, so far only three people were killed and four were wounded, hearing the news of the arrival of reinforcements, their morale that had fallen suddenly rose, which made the "Shadow Blade" and the besieging soldiers feel a big headache.

There was little point in staying here and continuing the battle, just in time when the inner city gates were finally opened - this was originally the time for the "Viper Cross" to attack, but at this time, Dean, as the leader of the team, had to give the order to retreat!

Elvis would not be wrong in his judgment, if he didn't retreat now, I'm afraid everyone would be blocked here. At that time, it will not be them who will encircle and suppress others, but will be surrounded and suppressed by reinforcements from behind...

"Break out!

Dean decisively gave the order, and then cast spells in succession to suppress the cardinals' counterattack - this group of old men had no strength to pursue at the moment, they had already used all their skills when they were besieged, and their magic power was basically bottomed out, and they did not carry potions and scrolls and other hole cards, so they could protect themselves, but they really had no strength to chase and kill.

So Dean retreated with his team in the inner city, but the cardinal inside never caught up.

As soon as they exited the inner city gates, the "Shadow Blade" immediately threw themselves into the battle against the Templars, Dean and the others glanced at Benjamin's team, and without saying a word, he led the team to retreat - he used the "Shadow Blast" to destroy the buildings on both sides of the road as he evacuated, so as to hinder the pursuit of the cavalry, while Elvis with the scepter in his hand walked cautiously in the procession, the scepter in his hand was wrapped in several layers of a robe that he had dragged with him, and at this time it looked like a bland stick.

The original scepter with fluctuating energy was isolated by Cazera's animal skin, and Elvester intended to carry a "Tarador Redemption" necklace and two rings with similar effects to enhance spiritual resistance, which was difficult to affect him at this time, but this scepter was faintly struggling to jump out of Elvis's palm, and he frowned and pressed hard.

Seeing this scene, Dean took out the red ** crystal he was carrying and recited the incantation, and when the magic power fluctuated and enveloped the scepter, the restlessness gradually subsided, and he no longer struggled.

"Get out of here, Claude will take care of the rest!"

The two reached a consensus and quickly withdrew with the gathered team. Because Dean's method of destroying the building did work, the group returned to the city gate soon after leaving the battle - the fighting had subsided by this time, and the fall of the walls had caused the morale of the Rosicrucian defenders to collapse, and now there was little resistance. Dean rushed to the city gate and did not leave immediately, but asked loudly, "How far is Claude's troops?!"

The soldiers observing from the city walls immediately reported: "It's a kilometer away!"

Dean and Elvis were thrilled by the news, and their original plan was to take the scepter and let the "Holy Army" storm the city, so that the mercenary knights could cause more damage to the "Temple".

This was done in order to finally put the pot on the Count of Mirno, and a random "lax administration" was enough for him to be unable to make any excuses.

Even though the sudden appearance of "Rosicrucian" reinforcements almost disrupted the plan, Elder Claude had clearly made a clever move—the imminent arrival of the "Holy Cult Army" was something that these reinforcements could not stop at all! )
