Among the four legions of the Knights Templar, the "Pillars of Light" took over the annihilated king** in the Kingdom of St. Olufe against the invading orcs, the "Heavenly Flame" was transferred to the northern border of the Kingdom of West Lotir to quell the chaos of several lords going berserk, and the navy's "Sea of Miracles" swept the pirate lair allegedly controlled by the infidels.

Among the twelve paladins, the former commander of the Templar Order, Patnin McMahon, died many years ago, the "Free Knight" William Mano has left the Holy See, the captain of the "Pillar of Light", the captain of the "Pillar of Light", the captain of the "Heavenly Flame", Nuenvi White, and the captain of the "Sea of Miracles", Pafila Siru, each led their own legions, George Millores volunteered to stay on Key Island 10 years ago as an instructor and has remained there ever since, and the deputy commander of the Templar Order, Lady Rena Berroville, led her personal guard to follow" Heavenly Flame", and Nilou McConaughey and Cente Doyle were sent to the Demon Continent three years ago to carry out a secret mission and have not returned, the current commander Jacques de Molay has taken a ship to Key Island three days ago to inspect the training of this year's graduates, excluding the shadow paladin who does not know whether there is a zài, and the only paladin who remains on Pope Island is the "Bright Dignity" Legion Commander Carl Morlesm. However, Moreth himself lived with the headquarters of the "Bright Dignity" Legion in the western suburbs of the Holy City, and in fact, there was not a single paladin in the Holy City at this time.

In addition, at this time of year, most of the cardinals in the Central Church are sent to pray and preach in secular countries, and only five cardinals remain in the Holy City, including the Pope himself and the presiding judge.

Not to mention those eighth-level powerhouses, the remaining 400 people of the Holy City Garrison, plus the Papal Guard, which is only about 100 people, and the Holy Inquisition of the Inquisition, who are not good at regular combat, are all the military forces that are now defending the Holy City. This pales in front of the army of vampires who are in the city. Although the Blood's siege force was only a thousand people, it could be seen that there were actually 10,000 troops attacking the Holy City based on the combat power of one vampire equivalent to ten human soldiers.

But is the Holy City really so vulnerable?

In the human society of the three continents of Olopa, the divine power is above the monarchy. Since the establishment of the Holy Light Cult, there have been many powerful forces from heretics, powerful secular empires, alien armies, and dark forces that have repeatedly challenged the authority of the Central Church, and the Central Church has always stood tall, and although the "City of Myths" has been bathed in the flames of war several times, no matter how disadvantaged the situation, the Holy City has never fallen. For thousands of years, the clergy of the Holy See have continuously strengthened the walls and towers of the Holy City, and the defense equipment is better than any other defensive fortress, and there are several layers of light magic enchantments covering the entire city. Any outwardly formidable foe will eventually be struck by a bloodied and exhausted fortress of impregnable fortifications, eventually wiped out by reinforcements from other regions.

Now, can the "City of Myths" create another miracle?

The vampire's army stopped advancing beyond the range of the crossbow bolts on the tower. The biggest problem facing the vampire prince now is not the strong fortifications of the city, let alone the defenders since the battle, but the light magic barrier that restrains the undead bodies of the vampire clan. As long as there is the existence of that enchantment, the power of the vampire will be greatly weakened, and the spatial magic and the ability to transform into a bat will also be limited, and more strictly, the light magic energy is like a poison for the undead, if you stay in that enchantment for too long, even the most powerful vampire will be burned to ashes, and after confirming that a large amount of dark magic energy appeared in the western suburbs of the city, hundreds of priests in the city participated in the defense of the city, unlike ordinary swords, their light magic can directly kill and injure the vampire's body。

But can these stumbling blocks hinder the bloodsucking prince Dekra from marching into the Holy City? Edward#8226, the "God of War" more than a thousand years ago, Prince Xiumiro was a master sieger, and no matter how strong the city was, it was useless wherever his troops pointed. The reason why he ordered his troops to stop advancing was to wait for an important opportunity to destroy the enemy's city from within!

As the minutes passed, the vampire army still did not move, and the soldiers in the city waited a little impatiently, if it were not for the deputy commander of the Holy City garrison who stayed behind and strictly ordered them not to act without permission for fear of an ambush, I am afraid that these soldiers would have rushed out of the city and killed those fearful invaders. But when the defending troops concentrated on guarding against the enemy outside the city, they did not realize that the disaster would occur from within.

"Boom ......"

A huge cross statue in Jethro Square in the west of the city collapsed, and the marble cross was completely shattered, revealing a large number of magic crystals buried in the ground at the base. Some residents were unable to avoid it and fell into the pit. Several long snake-like monsters emerged from the ground one after another - no, there was only one monster that appeared, and that was the Hydra lizard with nine heads!

Orom supported not only 10 lieutenants in this battle, but also his "** thing" - the transformed Warcraft "Hydra". Although not long ago, Hydra was wiped out by Cassius with the "Disintegrating Cold" strengthened by the Lianqi Array, and was crushed to pieces on the spot, it did not really "die". The demonic beasts that were forced to sign the "subordinate contract" will not die as long as their owners are still there, no matter how severely they are injured. On the same day, Orome sent his lieutenant Zimbevank to retrieve Hydra's magic crystal nucleus, and then reshaped Hydra's body in the real room. The resurrected Hydra was the size of a calf, but Orome needed such a tiny body. A few days ago, Orome used a small teleportation magic array to teleport the shrunken Hydra to the surface of the sea east of the Holy City, and then the small monster cruised under the sea to the drain of the city's sewers, and then through the sewers, it was not noticed by the humans above. Inside the sewers, Hydra grew up quickly by devouring the city's household garbage and the rats that lived in the sewers, and was able to regain his original form before the Vampire Prince's army arrived.

The reason why Orome had to go to such great lengths to let a transformed demonic beast sneak into the underground of the Holy City was entirely for the sake of this siege battle. Because the biggest obstacle in front of the Blood Clan army is those giant magic enchantments. In order to maintain such a large magical barrier permanently, it must be supported by a fixed amount of large magical energy. To the Central Church, the location of the Holy City's magical energy is highly classified, and no one knows about it except for a few core executives and technicians who have been working on maintenance all their lives, but vampires have their greatest strength, and that is time. For more than 1,700 years, under the auspices of Orom, the Blood Clan has never interrupted the investigation of the "City of Myths", and through guò has accumulated information bit by bit for a long time, and after summarizing and analyzing, Orom has finally deduced the location of the magical energy source of the magic enchantment.

The magic energy is actually composed of a large number of high-quality magic crystals combined with the corresponding light magic array, and there are four of them, which are buried in the four directions of east, south, west, and north. The giant cross pedestal in Jethro Square, destroyed by Hydra, is a magical energy source located in the West.

After destroying Jethro Square once and for all, Hydra moved its massive body in the direction of the south of the city.

"No! Its target is the Great Church of St. Mattia. Stop it!" one of the cardinals who oversaw the battle for the defense of the city was shocked. Because he had realized that the purpose of this unusual hydra lizard was to destroy the magical defense barrier of the Holy City, he ignored the defensive pressure at the city gate, and immediately sent heavy troops to the Great Temple of St. Mattia, one of the Seven Great Churches, to protect the magical energy buried in the underground of the Great Holy Temple.

A third of the soldiers and half of the priests on the tower were drawn out to surround the Hydra lizards that were rampling through the city. At this time, the vampires outside the city could see that the strength of the city was reduced with their eyesight far beyond that of ordinary humans, and not only that, but they clearly felt that the light magic barrier covering the holy city was constantly weakening and shrinking. The Prince of Vampires knows that Hydra's raid has succeeded!

"Attack!" the prince wasted no time in giving the order.

The first to attack were Melissa the "Bat Queen" and her men. Although Melissa did not choose her lieutenant from the middle bloodline, in another sense, she had the largest number of lieutenants among the Eight Sages. In total, she has 800,000 lieutenants - that is, her people, who have been sealed away from the bat swarm of the Brayden Kingdom Revenant!

800,000 blood night bats densely covered the sky, the high-frequency sound of flapping wings brought great mental pressure to the soldiers below, they raised their crossbows, and aimed their sharp arrows at the bats in the sky, maybe they shot all the arrows in the quiver, it was not enough to reduce the number of bats by one percent, but only by doing so could they reduce the pressure in their hearts. However, before their fingers could snap off the trigger, a strong drowsiness came over them. The priests defending the city hurriedly blessed with defensive magic to resist spiritual attacks, but it was too late, and in front of the sleeping sonar released by 800,000 bats, the defensive magic cast by hundreds of priests quickly reached saturation and was then suppressed.

The only one who attacked next was Ionik. He took off his butler's coat, rolled up the sleeve of his white shirt and his right hand, and ran directly to the city gate while the soldiers and priests defending the city were drowsy under the influence of the sleeping sonar. This is a siege of the city, and the Blood Army, which is the besieging party, does not carry any siege weapons, but it does not mean that they do not need it, but because Uonik, one of the Eight Sages who symbolizes "power", is himself a powerful siege weapon.

In the process of running, Uonik freed the vampire's power and restored the Blood's original face. In the process of his vampire transformation, a large amount of dark magical energy was released, and the soldiers who were barely awake on the castle tower noticed it, and they resisted their sleepiness and manipulated the heavy crossbow mounted on the castle tower to shoot at Ionik. Sensing the other party's intentions, Melissa ordered hundreds of bats to swoop down on the soldiers who operated the heavy crossbow machines, and surrounded them in a frenzied manner.

With Melissa's help, Uonik finally managed to get under the city gates. His right hand swelled out unnaturally, the skin on his arm darkened, and gradually dried and cracked, the pale blue muscles inside stretched all the outer skin, showing dark red lines that flowed back and forth like blood vessels, and a white bony horn protruding from his elbow - this was the best move that Uonik had prepared to use against Ou when he had fought Ou in Dawning Hills a few days earlier, but it was interrupted by Cassius's interference, and it was the strongest force he had so far.

Just like the name of this move, the "Fist of the Collapse of the City", a huge fist slammed into the city gate, making a deafening loud noise, and the whole city shook. The city gate, which is more than half a meter thick and made of pure steel, can withstand more than 100 hits from the battering ram, but it was hit by a punch from Uonik, and several soldiers standing behind the city gate were crushed into meat cakes, and the city wall near the city gate was also implicated and partially collapsed, and the huge shock wave of the "Fist of the Collapse of the City" was not exhausted by the destruction of the city gate, and the residential area behind the city gate was affected by the aftermath, and in the straight line of the attack of the "Fist of the Collapse of the City", three or four blocks of buildings were razed to the ground.

Within the scope of the attack of the "Fist of the Collapse of the City", civilians suffered heavy casualties, crying for a while, crying fathers and mothers, ghosts crying and howling, some people rushed to escape, some people cried on the corpses of their dead relatives, and some people dug up buried relatives in the rubble with their bare hands.

Although the magical barrier had been weakened, the effect of restricting transformation and spatial magic was still there, and the vampire army could not reach the tower directly, so they rushed through the breached gate and rushed up to the tower to flank the defenders above, but not a single vampire attacked the unarmed inhabitants.

Most of the poor defenders were killed in forced sleep, the few strong-willed ones barely survived their sleep, they couldn't lift their swords in their hands, the priest didn't have time to recite the incantation, and the recalcitrant ones were directly twisted by the vampires who rushed up.

The defenders of the city were annihilated. It took only a few minutes for a thousand vampires to capture the so-called "impregnable" tower, and there were no casualties on their own side - a shame like no other in the history of the Holy City's defenses.

The Vampire Prince stood on top of the tower, facing the city, and under his nose was a group of inhabitants trembling and overwhelmed with fear. The Vampire Prince glanced at it, and then issued the most direct warning in his deep voice: "Everyone in the city, listen, don't think that those armies can protect you, if you don't want to die, bastard immediately, don't be cannon fodder for the animals of the Holy See!"

He wasn't just talking to the inhabitants of the towers, the prince used amplification magic to convey his warnings to the ears of everyone in the Holy City.
