489 The Battle of Valentine, a fate waiting for the end

For believers in the aesthetics of violence, the scene in front of them is probably the most beautiful picture......

Thousands of magic cannons surrounded the cathedral on three sides, throwing fireballs like raindrops, and the originally transparent protective barrier rippled countless magnificent orange and yellow ripples under the bombardment. Rays of blue, incandescent white, orange and red flicker, weaving a web of colorful light. On the side that goes deep into the bay, the waves of the 100-meter-high Dao are constantly crashing against the barrier, which is an attack from the Storm Ocean Sea Spirit.

Dense white light surged from the barrier, rapidly repairing crystalline areas one after another. Although the attack was fierce, it was still within the tolerance range of the defenders, and the soldiers were able to see the activities of the soldiers on the outer city walls in an orderly manner.

The warm-up artillery cover lasted less than ten minutes, and the floating ship descended from the clouds and bombarded the area at the very top of the barrier, which seemed to be a signal, and the originally chaotic and random bombardment suddenly changed.

The appearance of crystalline regions is the most indicative of the change, which is presented randomly and piecemeal, becoming more and more concentrated, and finally forming a large arc that separates a barrier.

The defenders reacted quickly, realizing that the hour of danger had come, and a thick white light rose from the top of the majestic and tall fortress in the center of the cathedral, reaching the barrier, turning into a surge of divine power in an attempt to break the crystalline blockade.

In the trench shelter, less than a kilometer from the barrier, Li Qi stared closely through the observation window at the ripples of the white light.

Seeing that it did not break through the crystallization line, he said in a nervous and excited tone: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, we miscalculated, it will take three minutes instead of three hours. ”

Theresia was dressed in heavy armor, and her eyes flashed with excitement: "I didn't expect the sea spirits to be willing to come to help us, their water elemental power has caused a lot of pressure on Valentine's barrier. Richie, you're not wrong, and that just proves you're right. ”

Her tone was also a little hurried: "You mean, we can launch a general attack now?"

"Your Majesty, please give an order......"

Li Qi handed her the communicator, she took a deep breath and commanded the communicator: "I'm Theresia, the action begins!"

Underneath the edge of the Valentine protective barrier, in a space wrapped by layers of concealment and shielding barriers, hundreds of people squatted quietly, and the continuous vibrations kept shaking off pieces of dust from the top of their heads, and no one looked up.

There were several demon turtle carts parked in the corner of the space, and the people in the cars muttered in a low voice, and their temperament was very different from the others.

"These guys are more afraid of death than we are......"

"Pious Paladins and Priests of Khem, Holy Warriors of Alanis, Knight of Shuma...... It's their sacred cause, just as we defend Beta. ”

"I admire them a lot, and I hope I won't fight them in the future. ”

"If they become enemies with us, they will be deceived and blinded, and they will cease to be a sacred cause. And believe it or not, Valentine's defenders look like this. ”

Hassan and Jenil were muttering, a short whistle sounded, and a slightly trembling shout echoed: "Your Majesty order, the operation begins!"

Hundreds of people like sculptures roared to their feet, rushed to the magic guide explosives piled up everywhere, charged them piece by piece, and then placed them in the corresponding positions according to the instructions of the officers and men of the Fei Gong Engineering Corps.

This process has been rehearsed countless times in the rear, and everyone knows it by heart, but accidents are still inevitable.

A paladin is excited, overcharged, of course, it may also be the "slime burst colloid", that is, the quality of the magic guide explosive is unstable, flashing a dazzling blue light, which is a sign that the overcharge is about to explode.

The paladin first retreated in fright, then reacted, picked up the explosives and rushed out of the operation area, running towards the pre-dug detonation trench.

Several high-ranking paladins in charge of security monitoring simultaneously released several light shields to protect the surrounding explosives that were still charging.

With a bang, blue light appeared, and the paladin rose into the air halfway through, hitting the top wall and falling down, leaving a large bloody hole in his chest.

The priest dragged aside the paladin, who was still smoking from his chest, and looked at his round eyes, apparently hopeless.

No one panicked because of this accident, and not many people even looked up, they were already mentally prepared.

It didn't take long for thousands of explosives to be recharged and placed in their proper places.

The troops in charge of charging quickly evacuated, and the operators of the Engineering Corps attached the magic metal cables to the controllers. Beside them, the blue light of the magic guide explosives slowly flickered, gathering together, like bright stars, and like beasts breathing.

Dense explosives were piled up at the end of the space, and Jenil swallowed his saliva and said, "It must be spectacular when it detonates......"

Hassan sighed, "We can't see it. ”

The operators completed the task, jumped on the construction truck and shouted: "Let's go, let's ——!"

Jenir and Hassan looked at each other, put on a helmet that cushioned the impact of the magic, and drove the car, scurrying out of the underground space along the ramp with more than a dozen other construction vehicles.

There are also a few lonely figures in the space, who are volunteers who stayed behind to detonate. Even if they were dozens of meters away from the explosives and there were protective ditches, the chances of them surviving such a violent shock and magical impact were too small, and they were completely willing to die.

This death will be glorified and will ascend to the kingdom of God as eternal subscribers, which is the fervent belief that sustains them.

"For Cam!"

"Kem's glory shines on Finn!"

"Theresia is watching us!"

The volunteers shouted slogans, looked at each other, and said in unison: "See you in the kingdom of God!"

The earth shook violently, and at that moment the world seemed to be soaked in blue light.

In the shelter, the walls cracked, the dust overflowed, and everyone rose and fell violently. Li Qi subconsciously reached out to grasp something to keep his balance, and intertwined with Theresia's outstretched arms to support each other.

An ecstatic shout came from the communicator: "Destroyed! Node destroyed!"

With the figure of Li Qi reflected in the clear gray pupils, Theresia smiled slightly: "It's on!"

The tremor slowed down slightly, the arms of the two were separated, and Li Qi wanted to speak again: "Theresia......"

"My goal is the temple where the shield of the guardians is located", Theresia gave him a deep look, "I will wait for you there." ”

She turned and walked out of the shelter, Numael and the other attendants following closely.

"What a powerful weapon", the legendary magician Simberner was also in the shelter, his expression had been disapproving before the explosion, and now he finally felt the terrifying power contained in the magic guide explosives.

Seeing Li Qi carrying a huge, square box with strange patterns carved on it, he asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Li Qi patted the box, comforted Mickey who was a little uneasy inside, and said with a faint smile: "More powerful weapons." ”

Around the Valentine Cathedral, the ruins of the original Valentine City have long been plowed into a wilderness full of deep pits by artillery fire from both sides, and then filled with floating soil into swamps, and it seems that there is absolutely no room for life.

The magic guide explosives kicked off a pillar of dust that dispersed into a mushroom cloud in mid-air, and a large barrier burst like crystals, and teams of people suddenly poured out of the wilderness. Some rode magical beasts, others rode magical guide vehicles, penetrated the barrier, and launched a tidal attack on the defenders.

The defenders of the outer walls of Valentine Cathedral did not panic due to the explosion, and the defenders in various areas returned fire with magic cannons, magic guns, and even old-fashioned magic bed crossbows and catapults. The walls of the city wall are lit up with continuous runes, and the magic circles such as hardening and anti-magic make the walls impregnable, extending all the way to the ground.

The section of the city wall that was destroyed at the node was broken a few times in the dense muffled sound of the bang, and the large group of people swarmed in, speeding over the destroyed node area, along the wide square, directly towards the huge fortress in the center of the cathedral.

Theresia took the lead, stretched out a shield of light, forming a wall of light tens of meters high, blocking the bombardment of light and shadow while shouting: "Separate actions!"

This is already the interior of the protective barrier, where the power of the legendary realm is suppressed, and the magic and magic of the legendary level no longer work. But the legend's divine power and magic power, which is far beyond the level of heroes, will not be weakened, it is still as sharp as a blade, and as indestructible as a mountain.

A large number of heavily armored soldiers poured out from within the central fortress and the surrounding parapets, and there was no shortage of legendary-level powerful beings, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the square.

"This ——!"

Not far away, at the door of a parapet, Tina squeezed out of the air and beckoned to Richie.

She shouted, "I can't be invisible, but I can still sense the fluctuations of the corrupted divine power, right down there!"

Catherine rushed forward with a big sword, Li Qi followed behind with a "holy suitcase", and dozens of heroic commandos led by Finn took cover on both sides with adamantite shields. These fortresses of thorns were all converted by paladins, and the suppression of Kem's divine power had the least impact on them.

The crowd was followed by a round "puppet", occasionally hit by a crossbow bolt or bullet, causing it to let out a high-pitched electronic scream. Thankfully, it didn't do much damage, except for splashing a little spark and rolling it a few times.

"Fortunately, I removed the magic guide gun before I came, and replaced it with a magic steel skeleton and crystal titanium shell......

Yuzan muttered, followed closely behind Richie, and rushed into the passage behind the door.

The downward passage was almost as wide as four lanes, and the team ran head-on into at least one squadron of enemies. The opponent reacted extremely quickly, forming a tight formation as he ran, and at the same time slashed countless rays of warm white holy light.

This is definitely the elite of defending the central city fortress, and everyone is the pinnacle of a third-level powerhouse even if they don't reach the hero level.

Finn and the others rushed ahead of Catherine, blocking this wave of fierce attacks with a pure gold shield. The fluffy sound continued, and a whole platoon of commandos retreated again and again, almost throwing their heads back and falling into a line.

The residual strength of this wave of attacks has not yet disappeared, and the second wave of attacks has arrived, not that the commandos behind have been in place to support the front row, and the entire commando team was almost disintegrated by this round of raids.

For the soldiers of the Fernando Communists, the style of war in the old era was really unaccustomed.

The opposing paladin leaped high and slashed out a third dense slash of holy light. At this time, a row of people jumped up from behind the assault team, dressed like Finn and the others, but the shields were smaller, and although the hands were all pure gold weapons, the styles were different from person to person.

These team members stepped on the shoulders of their teammates and rushed forward, using their shields and even weapons to each receive a holy light slash, and the paladin passed by in the air one-on-one, attacking and defending each other in an instant.

When they landed, most of the paladins screamed and retreated, either with blood spraying on their necks, or from their armpits and even their eyes and other weakly protected parts.

The other party exclaimed, "Demon Warrior!"

"Finally, we have a place to play", the captain of the Demon Warrior, Kramer, shook off the blood on the big sword, and said excitedly, "Thank you so much for this enchantment that makes the magic guide gun useless, and there is such a narrow space." ”

"Come on, brothers, don't fall behind those demon warriors who are still slaves!"

With Kramer's shout, the group of demon warriors rushed into the enemy's formation, spilling patches of blood.

Li Qi grabbed Catherine, who also wanted to rush forward, and said, "Don't worry, this is not our battlefield yet, trust them." ”

The demon warriors, who were barely twenty people, were deeply embedded in the enemy's formation, and they caused chaos in an instant.

Also heavily armored, the Demon Warrior's skills are much more agile than the opposing paladins and priests, and their combat skills are significantly higher. The magic spell cast by the opponent and the divine power attached to the weapon, even if it penetrated the armor of the demon warrior, still did not affect them much.

In a battle that can only be fought in close combat, a stunned god means the end of the battle. Half a minute later, the squadron of hundreds of men had fallen by a third.

The Demon Warrior opened the gap, and Finn rushed in with the fortress to expand the victory, and after two or three minutes, the entire squadron was wiped out, and Richie, Catherine, and Tina did not make a single move.

Yuzan got bored and rolled into the crowd, popped out the magic steel blade from the middle of his belly, and turned himself into a blender specializing in cutting legs, but he almost hurt his own people, so he had to come back in a huff.

Having eliminated this small force, the assault team continued to advance, constantly adjusting its course with Tina's detection, clearing scattered enemies along the way, gradually descending hundreds of meters underground.

A team of sixty or seventy people entered a large hall, where runes flashed on the roof, walls, and floor indicating that it was a specially reinforced space. Using corrupted artifacts to create witches, and then extracting the power of witches and converting them into magical power, the magic circle that provides energy for the protective enchantment is located in the depths of this space.

Valentine's Cathedral does not rely entirely on this transformation circle to provide energy, Brinto, who was originally the bishop of Valentine, said that the Benuin gods, sealed by the shield of protection, are the largest source of energy, and also obtain energy from Everincense through a permanent spatial passage.

Destroying this magic circle can at least speed up the process of uprooting the enchantment node, of course, those witches, as well as the corrupted artifacts that create witches, are revolutionary assets that Fei Gong must obtain.

Li Qi's commando team has contracted this task, and it seems that it is going well so far.

The hall seemed empty and Tina whispered, "One, two, three......"

When I counted to three, several doors suddenly cracked open on the wall, and a large number of enemies rushed out, and one of them, a paladin dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding a double shield, shouted excitedly: "Look who I have caught! Richie Preel! Valentine is indeed my transit place! Thank you for your old acquaintance, you are a great gift from Lady Luck!"

This voice made Li Qi feel a little familiar, and then looked at the young man with frivolous eyebrows, he still couldn't remember, and said a little embarrassed: "Let's ...... Acquaintance?"

The other party said angrily: "Bastard, did you deliberately forget about the thing that treated you like a rabbit in the Holy Light Castle!?"

Li Qi suddenly sighed, what kind of deputy head of the Holy Knights, Truk!

But who the hell was driven away like a rabbit!

"What a friendship we really have, and it's time to end our brief relationship in this way, alas!

Richie was still talking poorly, and Catherine rushed forward with her great sword.

"How?"

Li Qi also let Catherine go, and asked Tina in a low voice, Tina closed her eyes for a while, shook her head and said, "There was a faint feeling just now, but now there is no more." ”

"Great, they're going to make a move soon", Li Qi pulled out the magic steel greatsword, twisted his neck and turned his ankle to move his body: "My greatsword is already hungry and thirsty......"
