"Bishop Knowson, that's the core territory of Sinner Salk, Windsor Castle."

In the middle of a barren field, the armies of the Church of Light formed a large but unneat battle formation, facing the castle.

At the front end of the array, there was a large number of rough men with sloppy military appearances. They all hold standard spears or fighting swords in their hands, but most of them look nervous, or they don't stop talking to each other, and they don't have the toughness and discipline of professional soldiers.

After them, a team of 100 people stood silently. Everyone wore hard leather armor, held swords and shields, and their expressions were cold and hard, and they didn't make a sound. It is the true elite main force of the Church of Light in South, and its commander is White.

There is also a group of crossbowmen with refined hard-winged wrought iron crossbows. With a maximum range of nearly 400 paces, this powerful crossbow is a long-range striking weapon that can only be made by the highest weapons workshops in Erathia. The annual output is not high, and it has always been strictly controlled by the royal family and the great nobles, and I don't know how the Church of Light got it.

On the right side of the array, there was a company of holy sword cavalry, led by the seventh-level Bright Paladin Tower.

"Attack." Bishop Norson looked at his target, his eyes cold, and ordered.

"Yes. Only the light shines on the world! ”

Pastor Milan replied in a loud voice as he crossed the famous Great Cross of Light across his chest.

Then, an impassioned trumpet sounded. Led by a small number of officers and some fanatical believers, more than 200 church troops rushed to Windsor Castle in a swarm. The only siege equipment is a simple long ladder, and even the bark on the surface of the ladder has not been cut off, which is obviously newly hastily made.

"Are these hillbillies still trying to attack us?"

At the head of the city, some bold nobles leaned directly against the female wall to watch the battle. When I saw that the people of the Church of Light were so "rough and simple", I couldn't help but be surprised and despised.

It would be a joke if the dignified giant castle Windsor was captured by such a miscellaneous army that even made the siege ladder long and short, uneven. Unless it's replaced by a demon legion with a great demon, it's pretty much the same.

"Prepare for battle!"

Because the Church of Light has a relatively small army. At most, it is possible to attack the walls in both directions at the same time, so Jill and Joey only need to watch the enemy's movements and each be responsible for a defense. Although, according to visual observations, the two mid-rank knights did not think that the enemy would have a chance to touch the city. Especially under the relentless strafing of the towers, those who are uncovered will become the best live targets.

"Such an attack is simply sending people to death."

The elite brigade led by White did not move, just like the cavalry company on the other side.

But looking at the chaotic siege procession. White frowned, endured it a few times, and almost told him to stop such a senseless attack. It's just that Bishop Knowleson is standing behind the whole army, and it is impossible to pay attention to the "nonsense" of a small mid-level paladin, so White can only keep silent.

Soon, the besiegers rushed within a hundred meters of the castle.

Immediately, the two arrow towers on the front side of the arrow flew in succession, falling like raindrops.

The dozen or so church warriors who were running at the forefront were immediately stabbed into a sieve by the crossbow arrows that came from the shot, and they fell without saying a word. The people behind see this. Immediately slowed down, and even showed signs of cowering.

"Rush!"

"For God!"

"Only the light shines on the world!"

At this time, the fanatical believers in the ranks played a huge role. While shouting to boost the morale of the people around him, he carried several long ladders that fell to the ground and continued to rush forward, and finally led the entire attack sequence.

"It's useless to have spirit alone, but lack training and combat power."

Without an order from the Milanese priest, White had no choice but to stay still. Sitting and watching many people about to "die", I felt a knot in my chest. Even the believers of the light are not afraid of sacrifice. But it should also have some value, not a senseless death like the one in front of you.

"God says that there is a world when there is light. In the face of the light, all the weak, the thin, and the pitiful, as long as they truly believe in the light, can become strong, heavy, and fearless! ”

Noisy and chaotic battlefield. A low, but unusually clear prayer sounded suddenly. It is like announcing in everyone's ears, whether it is friend or foe.

Immediately, a dazzling golden light rose and formed a transparent golden cross in front of Milan, exuding a strong divine aura. Then. The golden cross rose high, flew into the air, and then "snapped" and scattered, forming countless dots of light that fell on the charging disciples.

"Oh, the light of God! I feel full of strength! ”

"It's warm, it's warm!"

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"For God's sake, rush!"

As soon as the light dust touched his body, a faint but innocent golden halo immediately surfaced around the disciple's body. From a distance, more than 200 people seem to be connected into a vast lake of golden light, and the momentum is overwhelming.

And under the background of that layer of golden light, it seems that everyone has suddenly become strong and agile, and there is no longer the fear and nervousness just now, but instead they have become like those fanatical believers, chanting the slogan of the church, and rushing to Windsor Castle as if they were desperate.

Seeing this, the noble defenders in the city suddenly felt a little demoralized for some reason, as if they were timidly about the divine light under the city.

"That's the pastor of the other side?"

On the high platform of the inner fort, Martiel's brow frowned as she saw the golden cross rise and fall.

It is rumored that the priests of the Church of Light possess a variety of god-given magical arts, which have supernatural effects such as healing, soothing, detoxifying, boosting morale, and improving the combat power of warriors. Even, the most powerful priest of light in legend can resurrect the dead. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, the rumors are indeed true.

"Fluctuation is a mid-level magic level, but the support effects are surprisingly good, including four buff effects: 'Powerful', 'Accelerated', 'Light Protection' and 'High Morale', and they are also group additive... Is the pastor of the Church of Light so powerful, or is that 'God of Light' 'connived' by this Lord plane? Then why did it fall under the attack of you human nobles? ”

Looking at everything under the city in the distance, Claudia was also puzzled and even surprised.

In its impression, although the Death Priest of the Holy Spirit Temple was also terrifying, it had not yet reached such a level that a mid-level divine skill was close to a high-level effect.

"I heard my father tell me. The Church of Light is already very powerful, otherwise the human race would not have been able to rise in the middle of the continent and establish hegemony to this day. In particular, the Templar and the Holy Order Priest of Light possess almost everything in their power, and even the Grand Arcanists of Bracada have to pay their respects. However, since then, the whole church has become corrupt and degenerate, oppressing the commoners and humiliating the nobles, and has been resisted by the whole of Erathia. And for some unknown reason, their gods suddenly stopped giving magic. Later, it was rumored that it had completely fallen. Martiel's thought for a moment and said.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Taking advantage of the fact that Windsor Castle was a little stunned by the power of the gods, the archers of the Church of Light suddenly turned their crossbows into the air in unison, and then detained the crossbow machine with a shout, and more than ten arrows shot out, stretching a towering arc and shooting across the sky to the castle wall

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two explosions sounded in succession, and two blazing orange flames burst out at different locations on Windsor Castle, directly engulfing many of the guard sergeants. The other arrows are also interspersed with some armor-piercing and burning arrows, which should be nailed to the head of the city. Even the stony ground was set on fire.

"Bastard! They plundered our arms and are now being used to attack Windsor Castle. What despicable are these hypocrites of the Church of Light! Looking at the defenders of the city who were taken by surprise, Mathil gritted her teeth fiercely.

"That kind of explosive arrow is very powerful, and it is difficult for ordinary mid-level combat ranks to resist such a frontal bombardment." The Blood Earl watched indifferently and commented carefully.

"It's your master's work, and it's naturally fine." Glancing at Claudia, Matiel said helplessly and proudly: "In the black market, the price of an armor-piercing blasting arrow has already been speculated to a thousand gold coins. There is still no market. ”

"Sure enough, the alchemist got the money the fastest. Unfortunately, you don't sell the real goodies. The Blood Earl shrugged. I don't care.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the armor-piercing and exploding arrows, the brave church warriors quickly approached the castle.

Amid the shouts one after another, short stairs were laid across the moat to form a makeshift bridge. The followers in the back immediately swarmed up, and in a short period of time, more than a dozen long ladders had been erected high against the top of the city.

"Kill! Kill it! ”

Led by fanatics, a large number of church warriors began to climb the ladder to the top of the city.

"Fight it! Knock them all down! ”

"Push the ladder away. Push the ladder hard! ”

The Church of Light's attacks were focused on the front of Windsor Castle, so the two mid-rank knights were able to gather together to command the defense.

I don't know if it's because of the increase in the magic of light, the ladder climbing movement of the church warriors is very agile and fast, and someone has already climbed up to the city in a few breaths. The defenders on the opposite side immediately gathered several spears and stabbed them fiercely, and picked the enemy out of the city at the first time. But in the blink of an eye. The second, third, and fourth church warriors rushed up again and engaged the city defenders in a life-and-death battle.

And under the protection of that layer of golden halo, the noble sergeant has the illusion of exerting force through the face, whether he is stabbed or slashed. Not only is it laborious, but the actual damage caused is always small. On the other hand, the enemy's attack power and attack speed were significantly higher than those of ordinary people, making most of the defenders very uncomfortable. If it weren't for the height and cluster advantage, one-on-one, I am afraid that the well-trained aristocratic sergeants would be slightly inferior to those peasant-like church miscellaneous troops.

"Arrow Tower! Suppress the enemies under the city! ”

Unexpectedly, the enemy would become so strong at once, and Ji'er yelled directly, not letting the defense of the city, which had an absolute advantage, turn into a senseless tug of attrition.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

But at this moment, two huge explosions suddenly exploded above the heads of all the noble sergeants.

In the huge fire and thick black smoke, the two arrow towers at Windsor Castle were blown apart by their respective waists, and then the falling towers overturned, and a large number of stunned defenders were smashed.

"Only the light shines on the world." Looking at the collapsed tower, Bishop Knowlson smiled with satisfaction.

Immediately, the order was given, and the elite warriors led by White joined the battlefield. (To be continued......)
