Userondia hovered, and a powerful dragon's breath spewed out to the giant's head that had not yet landed, and the giant could not avoid it, so he could only raise his hands to cover it, and there was another earth-shattering scream, and the giant's arms were suddenly scorched black by the dragon's breath.

Userondia was about to continue the pursuit and slay the giant, but there was a roar of blades in the air.

"Whoosh... Whoosh!"

The other two cyclops had already approached and, seeing that their companions were in critical condition, immediately drew their javelins and attacked Userondia.

Userondia rolled over, avoiding the javelin's attack, but at the same time he felt the cold in his blood spreading further, although it would not be fatal or cause serious injury, but it would affect the movement of the enemy, and if he continued to fight with a strong enemy, it would undoubtedly be very dangerous, so he stopped fighting, and flew high into the air with a roar, and quickly disappeared into the clouds.

The fierce battle between the dragon and the cyclops, two of the continent's most powerful races, has attracted the attention of almost the entire battlefield, with one exception.

The battle at the breach in the wall was also at a critical juncture, and the three great swordsmen of the Knights Templar. Led hundreds of elite soldiers, they gradually gained an advantage in the offensive and defensive battles, and began to gain a firm foothold on the city walls, as long as the follow-up troops continued to pour in, they could expand their gains to the north and south until they occupied the entire city wall. The morale of the Holy See troops was immediately boosted.

But at this moment, Amaar, one of the two great magicians who had been watching from the sidelines, made a move, and as soon as he made a move, he released two oversized giant fire wall techniques, and the raging flames that were more than a dozen steps high separated the soldiers who had already attacked the city wall and the soldiers under the city wall. Dozens of soldiers were on their way to the city when they were directly engulfed by the wall of fire.

The follow-up soldiers could only stop in the face of the scorching wall of fire in the heat wave, and the soldiers who had already attacked the city wall suddenly became a lone struggle, while Higg's soldiers took the opportunity to fight back with all their might, heavy crossbows, magic, bows and arrows, hand-to-hand combat, and all the attacks that could be used were used.

In this situation, the Holy See soldiers on the city wall had to abandon the city wall that they had occupied, and the three great swordsmen led some middle and high-ranking swordsmen to break out of the encirclement, break through the blockade of the fire wall, and return to the city in a panic.

At this point in the battle, the battle lines of the warring parties returned to their original state.

Seeing that the sun had set in the west, the Holy See army command gave the order to retreat, and the exhausted soldiers could finally breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

Looking at the enemy troops retreating like a tide under the city, the Hig defenders, who were almost equally tired, didn't even bother to do the action of firing arrows in pursuit.

The course of the battle on this day was extremely tragic, and the total number of troops invested by both sides was more than 30,000, including more than 20,000 infantry.

Among them, the number of casualties reached more than 8,000, the attacker was about 4,000, and the defender was 4,000, and the main reason for the difference in the number of deaths between the attackers and the defenders was that the attackers benefited from the blessing and healing skills of the priests, and some lightly injured people could be healed quickly, and some seriously injured people were also able to live, otherwise the number of casualties on the attacking side was at least more than 20%.

After the battle, the corpses under the city walls piled up, and the smelly blood water that flowed from the corpses finally converged into a small river on the ground and poured into the moat, because the water of the moat flowed into the excessive blood, the color became black and purple, and the water of the river even had a sticky feeling.

In addition, the Cyclops in the Holy See army also paid the price of one serious injury and one minor injury, and Higg's team of magicians also suffered casualties, one high-level magician, two middle-level magicians, and five junior magicians also paid the price of their lives in this battle.

That night, dark clouds flew from the eastern sky, making the whole sky overcast, and the mood of the commander of the Holy See army was as gloomy and depressing.

In today's battle, the Holy See army almost tried its best, but still did not take a city wall with a gap, if according to this situation, this siege war is afraid that it will only turn into a protracted war, even if their own side can finally win, I am afraid that it will be a disastrous victory, this result is not only far from the quick battle plan formulated before the start of the war, and may even lead to unbearable consequences, after all, the variables that affect the situation on this continent are not only the Holy See and Higg, but other forces are equally important.

Therefore, at the end of the siege battle in the afternoon, Gutsian had already asked the griffin knights to bring the latest battle situation back to Congo and Winston, in order to achieve the battle goal as soon as possible, with the realization of the overall strategy, he asked the Pope to send additional reinforcements as soon as possible, especially the cyclops, whose role in this siege battle is extremely obvious, especially in the suppression of the defender's long-range troops, so if there are three more cyclops, Gutsian will be very sure to take control of the city wall in one day.

It was already very late at night, and it was the most exhausting night for the soldiers since the war between the two countries began. The soldiers who were so tired that even homesick fell asleep early, so the night was very quiet, and everyone in the huge barracks except the sentries was hurrying to rest for what might be an even more brutal battle tomorrow.

In the midst of this silence, there was a sound of voice coming from the roof of a watchtower. As the highest equipment in the barracks, the watchtower car is the main force of the siege during the day, and it has become a lookout place for the sentry at night.

There are a total of four sentries on the roof of this watchtower, each of them is responsible for guarding one direction, in order to eliminate drowsiness, they will remind each other by chatting while keeping guard, once they find someone silent in the chat, others will wake him up.

The time is about two o'clock in the second half of the night, the sky is densely covered with dark clouds, not even a little starlight can not be seen, there is a huge fire burning around the barracks, but it can only illuminate the distance of two hundred meters in a radius, beyond this distance is still pitch black, in the first half of the night, in the direction of Baden City in the west, and the magician will occasionally play a lighting magic to the wilderness in front of the city, the entire wilderness is bright, obviously the defenders of the city are also worried about the night attack, but in the second half of the night, the rhythm of the release of lighting magic has also slowed down significantly, I don't know if it is because the defenders have relaxed their vigilance, or the magician has become tired。

Lightning streaked across the sky from time to time, an early autumn thundershower that usually occurs at night, and by the time dawn the clouds dissipate and it will be another sunny day.

Seeing that the lightning was getting closer and closer to the barracks, the four sentries not only began to discuss whether the rain would fall on their heads, but also whether they needed to send someone down to fetch rain gear.
