Chapter 537: Hostage
The previous buildings, no matter how grandiose they were, were not the focus, but the last two buildings.
First of all, there is the angelic gate that is high above. Friends who have played the game of Heroes of Invincible should be impressed by this building. Inhabited here are angels and archangels, who can be said to be the patron saints of the entire Templar. Now, it's not just these low-level angels who live here, but also the four-winged war angels and the six-winged seraphims, who are also camped here!
It is completely different from other buildings of the Terrans, which are usually square and square. The Angel's Gate is a mirage, a small city in the sky completely separate from the Templar City, and it takes its gorgeous and illusory beauty to the extreme!
This floating city is no longer land in the ordinary sense, as the base is the clouds in the sky, and the top of a large number of white clouds is the real city in the sky. If you're lucky enough to go inside, you'll see statues of gods and angels everywhere, beautiful frescoes and hymns everywhere.
Occasionally, several angels will fly high and hover around the city, presumably the angel warriors in charge of guarding. But in reality, are guards still needed here?
It is located in the middle of a fortified city, and the advantage of the city in the sky is that it can overlook the entire land, and there is no stage to go up, and it is not difficult to get here, as long as you can fly, you don't have to talk about it without the ability to fly. Fighting in the air, who is the opponent of these powerful angels?
This city in the sky appeared here, and it was really slapping those white-feathered angels in the face! You must know that these white-feathered angels who came to the Sword Demon Continent from the so-called God Realm were originally proclaiming the identity of Lin Tian as a false divine envoy among the human vassals. Those so-called angel followers are all out of his vanity!
This propaganda has been very effective. Because most of the people who didn't know the truth, they hadn't seen Lin Tian's Light Feather Angels. Now that the living angel in front of them said this, they couldn't help but not believe it, and turned to doubt everything in the Holy Griffon Empire......
These people themselves are on the edge of the empire, and they have a very strong tradition of worshiping gods, so a considerable part of the reason for the sudden growth of the White Feather Angel vassal army is because they have listened to the angels' statements and think that Lin Tian is pretending to be a divine envoy, which leads to angering the gods......
But what about now?
When this angel's door. As you float over the majestic Templar City (Holy Griffon), all the accusations and accusations melt away like snow!
Is there any more real evidence than this? Lin Tian hadn't argued once, but this angelic gate had already proven everything for him!
Doesn't it mean that his army of angels is hypocritical? Can this city of angels, with so many angels flying around, be false? If you have the ability, you also pretend to be an angel city to come out and see?
With a large number of Light Feather Angels following him, and having this Angel Gate that obviously shouldn't exist in the mortal realm, wouldn't it prove his identity as a divine envoy?
From this moment on. A large number of humans have turned their suspicious eyes to the source of the rumors...... Legion of White Feather Angels!
is also an angel, Lin Tian's Light Feather Angel Legion VS God Realm White Feather Angel Legion, to be honest. Ordinary people simply can't tell which of the two is orthodox. But in their hearts, the white-feathered angel is more in line with their original portrayal of the angel image, but the holiness of the light-feathered angel. The illusory and ethereal image is more in line with their fear of the unknown god.
From this point. The white feather angel will suffer a big loss, especially Yingyu accompanying Lin Tian. Appear at the very top of the Capitol together!
Yingyu is an orc, or an eagleman, and if you're not happy, you can also say it's a birdman! But if you look at her image and beauty, she is better than all the white-feathered angels, except for the pair of white wings with a slightly smaller ratio, she is a miniature version of the white-feathered angel by birth...... But she was an eagle, that was for sure. This can't help but make others think more, are these cold white feather angels angels angels angels or not? Or are they just some good-looking "ordinary people"?
I can't help but think that way! The people who have come out of all kinds of epic and religious brainwashing before, they have not thought about it before, or they dare not think about it at all......
What is an angel? They are the messengers of God, the spokesmen of the great gods on the land, how can they resist when they are small?
So before, they could only go against the grain, and no one dared to be disrespectful to these angel masters. Many people who joined the vassal legion at the beginning, when they encountered the White Feather Angel, almost all of them were the first to disarm and surrender, and the first to fight for the tiger, because they felt that they were serving God and honoring it......
But is that really the case? Now they keep asking themselves in their minds. After coming into close contact with these white-feathered angels, they could feel the arrogance, arrogance, arrogance, and ruthlessness of this race......
Before, they were hidden in the brilliance of God and felt unattainable, but suddenly someone suggested that they might not be God's spokesmen at all, but just an ordinary species, at most just a little pretty. These people suddenly found that in addition to this gorgeous aura, it seems that these angels are not completely omnipotent, right?
In fact, when the Legion of White Feather Angels drove millions of people of the Thunderbird Province to this super city that straddled between Thunderbird and Divine Grace out of thin air, and were shocked by this miracle, almost all the people of the original empire had such thoughts!
The results of the Divine Realm Angel Legion are very gratifying, and the expansion is also progressing smoothly, so far, the Thunderbird Province has basically been fully digested and absorbed by them. In the true sense of the word, Shunchang rebelled, and there was no so-called neutral faction, either joining the vassal legion and fighting for the supreme god, or dying...... No choice!
Because of the large number of people, they gradually found that there were too many old and young women and children, which would only delay their expansion, so they decisively abandoned some of them......
The abandonment mentioned here was really abandoned at the beginning, and it was directly slaughtered. But this move is really hurtful to the heavens, after the vassal army was angry and resisted several times, considering that such a killing has no practical significance, and the angels of the divine realm have always flaunted justice, and there are few people who are really murderous and murderous, so after ruthlessly killing a group of people who dared to take the lead in making trouble, the last thing is to acquiesce in the departure of these old and young women and children.
After clearing out these old, weak, sick and disabled people, the average combat effectiveness of the entire vassal legion has increased significantly, at least the marching speed is still okay. The Angel Legion, which has maintained a good momentum, is wrapped in the vassal legion in the land of Thunderbird Province, galloping wantonly, breaking through one city after another, without encountering any decent resistance, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger...... At least on the surface.
Especially after the capture of Thunderbird City, the strength of the legion has been greatly improved.
The governor from Lin Tianyi's line did not die, and his loyalty was not at all wrong at the critical moment, and under the offensive of the other party, he still organized a part of the vital force to defend the city, trying to use the strong city wall to resist the invasion of foreign forces.
It's a pity that he has limited resources at hand after all, Thunderbird as the border of the empire, a large number of elite troops have been transferred to more important places, to put it mildly, since Lin Tianxia, no one expected that it would be the first war to break out here, so some of the border guards who were temporarily put together, plus the Thunderbird Knights, which almost did not become an establishment, even if they used the sturdiness of the city wall and defensive weapons, they still could not resist the opponent's attack......
It is said that the outbreak of the siege war was just a charge, and the Angel Legion completely disintegrated the defense system of Thunderbird City. It's not that these angels are strong, of course, it can't be denied that they are indeed strong, but their strongest is the use of special operations......
This special operation method is, hostage tactics!
When the defenders operated the powerful trebuchet and the giant crossbow defending the city, they were never able to fire even a single stone bullet with actual lethality, and at most they did some warning dispersal shots at the beginning......
These angels, using women, children and the elderly, to be the first wave of death squads to attack the city!
In their minds, this is the most appropriate use of the vassal legion. Send the old, weak, sick and disabled in the team first, and send them all......
Their death is certain, the benefits are obvious, they can consume the resources of the defending equipment, they can share the firepower in the early stage, and they can also save the chaff for the vassal legions, which is really a clever move!
What they didn't expect was that this tactic was surprisingly good! In addition to the aforementioned benefits, the other biggest benefit is that the defending forces do not dare to attack at all......
Don't forget, those angels in the city look like rubbish old and weak women and children, and they are probably the relatives of the soldiers defending the city, who would be willing to attack their relatives if they wanted them to attack their relatives?
Therefore, after the warning shots were discovered, these angels still drove the villagers to attack the city, and the morale of the defenders dropped to the bottom. After all, the acting governor was not Lin Tian, and he didn't have the courage to force the soldiers to go against their intentions and directly attack the people under the city...... In fact, he was simply suspicious that if he dared to give this iron-blooded order, with his own prestige, which was not too high, it would probably lead directly to a mutiny! This made him miss his king immensely at this time!
I can't bear to attack my relatives, I'm afraid of unfilial piety! Coupled with the aura of the angels' divine envoys, these warriors, who lack strong leaders and firm beliefs, do not dare to attack wantonly, which is equivalent to being tied hand and foot......
When this strange battlefield silence lasted until the besieging troops approached the city walls, the defending troops finally had to pay for their indecisiveness in hesitation. At this time, suddenly from the back row rushed into the sky, and a hidden angel warrior killed in...... (To be continued......)
