Chapter 47 of the Finale: A New Enemy
More than a dozen divine warriors, with the attitude of "one man in charge, ten thousand people do not open", blocked the narrow mountain path, so that the coalition force composed of the Pope's personal guard and the airborne troops of the crusading army could not cross the thunder pool for half a step.
Not only on the mountain trails, but elsewhere on the battlefield, the crusaders and the rebellious defenders were constantly being held back by the new enemy.
After rescuing all the Templar high-ranking people who had been placed under house arrest, the defenders of the city joined up with the lone raiders, the retreating defenders from the city gates, and the siege force from the Kingdom of Pole. However, just after Christina threw out the dark red communication magic, the silent neighborhood of the Holy City suddenly turned into a Shura field of crisis!
From the seemingly mundane, unthreatening rooftops, corners, windows and other inconspicuous corners, suddenly there was a low whistling, and the cold arrows broke through the air without warning, and the archers who were hiding in the shadows and shooting cold arrows had a very clear goal, they were clearly sniping at the officers of the crusading army and the defenders of the Holy City, and ordinary soldiers could not enter their eyes at all.
In just the first round of shooting, more than two dozen officers in the coalition army were sniped in an instant, and they didn't even see what the enemy looked like.
Watching the tragic death of the commander who accompanied him day and night, and whose most respected commander was attacked by cold arrows, some loyal ordinary soldiers were enraged, and they frantically rushed in the direction that they thought might be the enemy's arrows. But in the end, they found no one but a group of bewildered civilians, and by the time they turned around, several more officers in the unit had died.
"Look for obstacles that can obscure your vision, and don't run around!" Joy Ka ordered in a loud voice, "All officers take off their identification badges and take off their flashy officer uniforms!"
From the moment the first arrow was fired, Joyka knew who the enemy was. Cloud-piercing longbowmen from the Kingdom of Sealand!
Listening to Owen's relays before, Julian has obtained the holy sword "Eternal Victory" that can command the entire Sealand royal family, and the responsible King of Sealand, Harun, is himself a member of the Truth Society, so it is not surprising that the Sealand Kingdom will send a cloud-piercing longbow force to this Holy Pope Island to reinforce the Truth Society. It's just that I didn't expect these guys to hide so deeply, when they fought in the streets of the city before, they were extremely forbearing, and they were completely watching from the sidelines; only after the defenders in the city collectively defected, these marksmen would shoot, and they were so ruthless when they shot!
It's not the first time Joika has dealt with these guys, and as a good archer, Joika knows very well how terrifying the cloud-piercing longbowmen are. Fighting on flat ground, many highly mobile units may be able to easily defeat these Cloudpiercing Longbowmen, but in urban street battles full of obstacles, it is a hunting paradise for Cloudpiercing Longbowmen!
Among the officers who were sniped just now, one of them was a high-ranking Knights Templar who had just been rescued, and he was also a praying knight, whose cultivation was only one step away from the paladin, but he was so sloppy and silent that he was pierced through his heart by a cold arrow, and died violently on the spot, and even the healing magic did not have time to work. This made Joika feel uneasy, and if he hadn't been dressed in a very ordinary coarse gray suit, he would have become a target for these cloud-piercing longbowmen.
Thousands of coalition troops were scattered and hid in nearby obstacles. At this time, Joyka, Yundi, General Jenn Rogge, the commander of the "Thunder Iron Armor" Legion from the Kingdom of Pole, and some of the rescued Knights Templar are gathering in an empty house to discuss countermeasures, the owner of which had fled to the shelter to escape the fighting long before the battle began.
"I've found out where they are, so I'll go around behind the little mice and slaughter them one by one!" Yundi said coldly, straightening her deerskin hat. Stealth, investigation, and assassination are exactly what Yundi is doing.
"No, Yundi senior, you can only assassinate 3 or 4 of them at most, and then it will be useless. Joyka vetoed Yundi's suggestion, "The shooters in these positions were deliberately exposed by the enemy, in order to let us play the hole cards in advance. ”
"But we can't waste our time here. General Jenn Rogge said.
"Of course you can't be trapped here. Otherwise the enemy's tactical goals have been achieved. Joyka said.
"What advice do you have for you, young warrior?" asked one of the Knights Templar's high-ranking officials.
"Our priority is not to destroy the few enemies who have been deliberately exposed, but to find the enemy's 'eagle's nest' first. ”
"Eagle's Nest?!" when Joyka uttered the unfamiliar term, several of the other attendees in the room looked at her.
"That's right. As long as the 'Eagle's Nest' is destroyed, I want to see who is the real marksman in this sniper battle!" Joika's eyes were like a torch.
The sudden change in the situation is not confined to the city.
At the same time as the divine warriors and the cloud-piercing longbowmen were fighting, on the other side of the Pope's Palace, on the side facing the sea, the rocky cliffs below the pedestal of the Pope's Palace suddenly opened six mountain gates one after another, and then six black holes appeared. From the sea, these caves are very small black spots, but in fact these caves are very wide, at least 4 or 5 meters high, and at least 6 or 7 meters horizontally.
With a series of bird-like screams, countless white dots poured out of the mouth of the cave and rushed into the sky like a swarm of locusts.
The monsters that once wreaked havoc in the kingdom of Pole are now back in the world, and their numbers are even more staggering, as thousands of flying monsters soar into the air and pounce on the griffons that are in the air and swooping towards the Pope's Palace!
These griffons were in a state of attack like a rainbow, not focusing on their own defenses, and the shriek of the harpy had a slight soul-intimidating effect within a certain range, and the griffons who rushed to the front only felt that their eyes were dark, and their minds were blank. Although this process did not last long, only 2 or 3 seconds, it had already deprived the griffons of valuable time to react and warn.
Hundreds of griffons were engulfed by thousands of harpies, along with the mounts they straddled, and a bloody rain fell from the sky. What's even more terrifying is that these thousands of harpys, it seems that each of these demonic beasts has the identification mark of friend or foe from the Pope's Palace, and they carry out a frenzied siege and killing in the Holy Thunder Enchantment, while the crusading army and air force outside the enchantment can only watch the griffin air riders in the enchantment being slaughtered but unable to reach the dust.
Finally, some of the lucky griffons broke through the encirclement, and they were covered in blood, and they commanded the already exhausted griffon mounts to fly towards the crusading army's air force. And those extremely rampant harpy banshees rushed directly out of the Holy Thunder Barrier and chased after the griffons who fell into the net, and they would never give up their prey. Although at this time, the air force of the crusading army also immediately launched a counterattack and rescue, but in the face of the harpy, which occupies an absolute numerical advantage, the crusading army's meager air power is simply dispensable.
Fearful of the dragon's might with the two dragons, the harpy herd deliberately avoided head-on contact with the silver dragon Ice Yus and the green dragon Terra, and surrounded the few airships and Pegasus knights, no different from the previous siege of the griffin air cavalry.
Dense white figures dominated the sky, obscuring out the sunlight. However, the crusading naval fleet below could not use anti-aircraft firepower to reinforce the air force, because even they could not protect themselves now.
Just as I saw countless white harpies rushing into the air from the caves, countless blue-black figures poured out from the mouths of the six caves, all of them jumping into the turbulent sea, and the waves on the sea rolled back, from the shore to the sea.
The experienced crew soon discovered that it was not the waves that were coming back, but some blue-black monsters that were swimming extremely fast......
