Chapter 665: God's Presence is Glorious
Glorious City chose to fight with a tough attitude, which was indeed a bit unexpected by Levi. Levi also thought that the reason why they dared to do this was because they must have their own support.
However, Levi didn't care.
No matter what kind of battle those paladins in Glorious City have, he doesn't care.
Anyway, just crush it into powder.
Before making his move, Levi sent his orders to the Kingdom ambassadors in Glorious City, and issued an ultimatum to the Holy Cult Army:
"Please make an informed decision before dawn, and after dawn, you will do everything at your own risk."
……
Inside the central castle, on the top floor, the Hall of Light.
Once the supreme authority of the Holy See, the rotunda floor is carved with a magnificent picture of the Holy Lord's creation of the world.
Around the perimeter of the hall were twelve chairs, six of which, according to the ancient traditions of the Holy Church, belonged to the six archbishops, and the other six belonged to the Grand Knight Captains of the Holy Army.
At the top of the table is a seat with the symbol of the sun, which is supposed to be the seat of His Majesty the Pope.
In the past, when the City of Glory was still the center of the Holy Religion, the Pope, the Bishops, and the Paladins discussed matters here, vowing to spread the glory of the Holy Lord throughout the human world.
Later, after the establishment of the Kingdom of Westum, the power center of the Holy Religion gradually shifted to the city of Wei, and to the Papal Palace in the upper district.
It is true that the City of Glory has always been the most important base of the Holy Sect, but it is far less important than it used to be, and the Hall of Glory has slowly lost its former role.
But in this hall, one of the most important secrets of the Holy Religion is still preserved.
Or rather, function.
The twelve Saint Sect elemental powerhouses each stood in front of a chair, their eyes closed. From their bodies, a golden beam of light connected their bodies, leading to the girl sitting cross-legged on the ground in the center of the rotunda.
Berkeley was in the hall as well, but not among the twelve elements that connected the beams.
He stood at the door of the Hall of Radiance, staring at the arena with a slightly complicated expression.
The girl in the middle of the hall was his student, Freya.
The sound of 'stamped' footsteps came from behind him, and without looking back, Berkeley knew who was coming.
"Pande." He called out his name.
The Glorious Overseers came from behind him, standing side by side with him. His eyes were also looking at the scene in the Hall of Radiance, and he looked at it for a long time before he spoke: "Levi has arrived, and the ambassador of the royal government has also issued us an ultimatum, asking us to surrender unconditionally before dawn, otherwise, Levi will enter the city after dawn. ”
Berkeley sighed and said, "Can you delay it a little longer?" We still need a little time. ”
"I'll try." Pande paused and continued, "But you also have to be mentally prepared. We have thought of a lot of ways to delay, but I'm afraid that Levi won't listen to us then. ”
"Then try to do it." "Dawn...... Dawn...... For the first time in my life, I wish the sun would rise later. ”
……
Thirteen hours later, it was dawn.
In the middle of the night, news came from the City of Glory that the Holy Sect was already considering an unconditional surrender, but it would take three days to make a decision.
It stands to reason that waiting for another three days is not too much of a problem, but since it has been said before that it is an ultimatum, Levi does not intend to tolerate it.
What's more, he smelled something unusual, and the Holy Sect looked like it was engaging in delaying tactics.
What exactly they were procrastinating, Levi didn't know, and thought it had something to do with their hole cards against them.
Now that he had thought of this, it was naturally impossible for Levi to continue to let them continue to prepare.
Although he is not afraid, he will eventually get into trouble.
After the Kingdom ambassador in Glorious City rejected the request of the Holy Sect, by the dawn position, Levi did not receive further news from Glorious City.
Come to think of it, the Holy Sect is planning to resist to the end.
When Levi made his move, it was also here.
The morning sun rose, and Levi stepped on the first rays of the morning sunshine and walked towards the glorious city.
The soldiers on the outer walls of Glorious City saw Levi coming in the morning light at a glance.
This scene made them nervous, and they were even a little at a loss, not knowing whether to fire or not.
The garrison in charge of the defense of the city wall roared: "Why don't you open fire? ”
"There's only one person......"
"A man is not an enemy? Fire! ”
A fire was fired, and the defensive fire on the city began to exert its power, and dozens of defensive artillery at the city head were aimed at Levi, who came into the air.
At the sound of an order, dozens of garrison artillery opened fire, and the roar that shook the sky came from all over the city wall.
I have to say that the garrison of Glorious City is still strong enough. These dozens of cannons fixed in the city tower are all heavy guns, and the city tower bunker is also built outside as protection. If an ordinary army wants to attack this level of city defense, it is afraid that the firepower of the artillery defending the city alone will be unbearable.
For Levi, however, these were all falsehoods.
His footsteps did not pause for a minute, and he walked forward in mid-air. The artillery fired from above the city project, one by one, with billowing smoke, drew an astonishing trajectory in mid-air, blasting towards Levi, but when it was close to a hundred meters away from Levi's body, it suddenly disappeared.
All the artillery, almost in an instant, as if it had entered another dimension, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Levi's hand made everyone look at it.
Some of the brave defenders at the head of the city hurried to reload their shells, preparing to launch another round of artillery fire before Levi 'walked' into the city. However, although the shell was stuffed into the chamber, no matter how it was operated, the cannon could not be fired.
The artillery commander was furious, pushed the soldier operating the cannon away, and stood by the artillery himself, operating and preparing to fire.
However, at this moment, the artillery in front of him suddenly exploded! Even the shells that had been stored at a safe distance from the artillery exploded.
This artillery position, in the successive explosions, was directly blown upside down. Even with that pillbox, with the entire artillery crew, all the soldiers were reimbursed.
Subsequently, other artillery pieces in the city also exploded one after another. On the white walls of Glorious City, many flowers bloomed, and the continuous blasting made a group of people turn on their backs, and in a moment, all the defenses have been disintegrated.
All this, of course, is Levy's masterpiece.
He now disdained to turn into a giant energy giant like he had done before, and then use his furious thunder power to destroy everything. After fusing the Book of Ten Thousand Laws and possessing mythical-level power, Levi didn't need to spend too much effort in facing a battle of this level.
When the cannonballs hit, he only needed one thought to dissolve all the cannonballs out of thin air; The artillery at the head of the city wanted to fire again, and he also just wanted to detonate all the artillery and shells on the spot, and easily turned the outer city of Glorious City on its back.
And as he continued to walk towards the Glorious City step by step, the gate in front of him, which was firmly locked, suddenly opened. Even several sections of the city wall on both sides of the gate collapsed like a puddle of soft mud.
It has become such a wall, and it is natural that there can be no more defense.
Fang Yunheng, the major general of the kingdom who was in charge of the command of the army, shook his head and shook the shock in his heart aside.
Determined, he drew the long sword at his waist and shouted, "Whole army! Follow His Majesty the Prince and attack! ”
A team of more than 4,000 Kingdom soldiers, agents, and witchers rushed towards the open defense line of the Glorious City. Halfway through the charge, they barely met any effective resistance.
The artillery on the city wall had been cleared by Levi first, so what else could stop the stormtroopers?
Except for a few sporadic bullets that came out of the glorious city, there was no other resistance.
And after rushing into the city, the troops under Fang Yunheng's command barely encountered any hard bones. After the scene just now, the great power shown by Li Wei has deeply shocked the soldiers defending the city.
Most of these soldiers defending the city are actually just ordinary soldiers, and only some key positions and backbone forces are held by the paladins of the Holy Cult Army. But with morale completely broken, even the paladins have nothing to do.
Not to mention, most of the paladins have also shaken their own hearts.
In most people's concepts, the power that Levi has just shown can only be explained by miracles.
This is the power that only gods can have, and how can mortals resist it?
A small number of strong-willed paladins also tried in vain to use their long swords to make a final resistance. However, this scattered resistance force was not to be feared at all, and was quickly suppressed by the soldiers and demon hunters of the kingdom.
The battle at the head of the city, from the time Levi walked in the morning light to the end, the whole process did not take more than half an hour, and the royal government had completely controlled the outer gate of Glorious City. Most of the soldiers defending the city lost the will to fight, and wisely chose to surrender and became prisoners of war.
The battle to conquer Glorious City is off to a good start.
But it doesn't really mean much.
Although the total number of garrisons in the outer city of Glorious City is quite large, almost seven or eight thousand, but among them, there are not even five hundred paladins, and there is not even a single strong person above the element level.
Obviously, the last and most elite force of the Holy Cult Army is still deployed in the central castle.
In fact, the city of Glorious City, from the very beginning, was built with a strong military attribute. The central castle is the most important place in the city, and it is also the heart of the Holy Religion.
However, later more and more believers, or simply some civilians seeking refuge, gathered under the castle, and gradually formed such a city.
It was not easy for the Holy Sect to drive away the civilians who had gathered, so they built a city wall outside the city.
The outer walls of Glorious City at the beginning were actually very simple. It wasn't until more than 200 years ago that the population of the whole city became more and more populous, and the economy developed well, and finally it was further made into a white wall, and it was also blessed by the pope at that time, with the effect of holy light and protection against evil.
Of course, all of this is destroyed today.
After capturing the outer city walls, Fang Yunheng, Mi Rui and Sun Zheng led their respective teams to spread to various parts of the city.
Their task was to bring the entire city under their control, except for the central castle, as soon as possible after conquering the outer walls, and temporarily exercise military control while waiting for the next order from the royal government.
As for the most important strategic objective of the Central Castle, it is also the hardest nut to bite, and it has never actually appeared in their plans. This mixed kingdom army had never considered attacking the central castle at all.
That was Levi's responsibility.
The task of controlling the city was completed in half a day. During this process, the central castle of Glorious City has not reacted. The gates of the inner fort were closed, and on the castle head, nervous-looking paladins could occasionally be seen patrolling, but they had no intention of coming out to stop the kingdom's army.
The garrison of the outer city was completely destroyed, and the central castle had no intention of coming out to block it, and the speed of the kingdom's army was still very fast.
During this process, Levi has been floating above Glorious City out of thin air. After seeing that the kingdom's army had basically completed its control of the outer city, he once again looked at the central castle.
At this moment, it is already noon.
The midday sun shines on the glorious city, making the entire tall central castle shine brightly.
Whenever the weather is clear, the midday sun always makes the whole castle seem to glow. When you look at it, it's as if the whole castle has fallen from heaven.
This is known as the 'Glorious Spectacle'.
"I really don't want to destroy this scene with my own hands......" Levi muttered.
However, when it comes to doing so, Li Weike has no intention of showing any mercy.
His hands were raised, and the huge divine power enveloped Glorious City in an instant.
The so-called 'glorious wonder' is more than just a wonderful view. In fact, the reason why the entire castle can shine at noon is actually a sign that the central castle has been blessed by the true power of heaven.
It's a symbol of strength.
But under Levy, it still didn't make any sense.
No matter how blessed the City of Glory is, it is only a blessing. When a true god personally intervenes and the divine power descends, how can it stop Levi just by the power of 'blessing'?
But in the blink of an eye, the light of the castle dimmed.
