If we follow the famous saying on Earth, "The strongest fortress is always breached from within", this famous saying can be used again tonight in Saidnes, the capital of the Divine Radiance Empire.

With a population of more than five million, Sednes was the most dazzling jewel of the Divine Radiance Empire, and the thick walls mixed with anti-demon materials built in the millennium were 100 meters high, and their defensive capabilities were not much higher than the black walls in the blood-colored canyon.

Coupled with the influx of millions of priests, faithful believers and their families of the God of Divine Radiance in the past two years, there is no shortage of cannon fodder and there are hundreds of mage towers, even if there is a shortage of masters in Saidnes and a lack of elite troops. But the Church of the Gods coalition can't break through in a few days, don't even think about taking the city of Saidnes without paying countless costs!

But as it stands, most of the rest of the Saidnes do not want to hold out in this desperate final battle, except for the almost brainwashed Divine Maniacs, the Faith, and the Pope, who are unlikely to surrender at all.

After the coalition of the Church of the Gods told them of their determination in a few days and hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides, the big family within the Holy Radiance Church of the Claudius family began to take the initiative to dismantle the platform!

After five days of fierce fighting attracted the attention of the Pope and the defenders of the city to the southern wall, the contractors on the northern wall and members of the great family of the Holy Radiance Church suddenly joined forces to seize the head and gate of the city, and took control of the core mage tower and a dozen affiliated mage towers in the northern city.

As a result, when the first assault force composed of contractors rushed to the five city gates, they found that they had no trouble controlling the city gates, and they did not even have the backup hand to prepare to retreat to cover or resist the attack of the mage tower.

"Quick! Leave half of the men to guard the city gates, and we will quickly take control of the barracks and streets!" After hearing the results of the operation of the personnel receiving at the city gate, one of the contractors of the Sanctuary rank who was in charge of the lead gave a loud order.

"Rush with me!"

The northern part of Sednes is a mixed area of out-of-town commercial districts and middle- and lower-class residential areas.

Therefore, the people who live here can hardly be called wealthy, and they are completely different from the places where the priests and knights of several other towns and inner cities live.

When they heard the sound of "boom" and shouts of killing in the streets, and looked at the power of the spell explosion and the flames that soared into the sky outside, except for a few mad //letter // disciples of the God of Divine Radiance, everyone else obediently stayed in the room, watching the battle situation outside and praying to the God of Divine Radiance and some other gods to protect themselves

On the streets of the northern city, the contractors of the Gods Play Space are engaged in a brutal slaughter.

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-"

"Puff-puff-p-"

"Ahh

A contractor wearing a cyan mage robe looked at the oncoming group of Radiant Legion soldiers, and without hesitation, he threw out a silver-rank group wind blade technique. As a result, in the hundreds of cyan wind blades breaking through the air and cutting sounds, more than a dozen low-level soldiers of the Holy Radiance Legion screamed and were divided into many sections, and all kinds of wreckage and blood were directly covered in the streets.

However, this team was covered in wounds, and it was obvious that there were also strong people in the Saint Radiance Legion who had been killed from the barracks, and the three officers who had inspired their fighting spirit directly launched a charge with more than twenty remnants of soldiers. And if you look at the strength of the fighting spirit alone, the three officers have at least reached the level of the silver rank, and the remaining soldiers are not below the standard of the red bronze rank.

But the strength of this elite squad is not enough for the contractors who have been deliberately selected today!

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

Greeting these Radiant Legionnaires, who didn't even have horses, on the streets were dozens of murderous Walking Dragons and Covenanter Knights charging with spears raised!

Some of the geosaurs resembling the image of the velociraptor on Earth stand upright, almost four meters tall and seven or eight meters long, and weigh almost a ton, and these big creatures can run at speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour for hours. And although these earthly dragons can say that the dragon clan has a low bloodline, and they don't have any decent spells, this guy's defense is really outrageous!

Although it is rated as a silver-rank demonic beast, the defense ability of the earth-walking dragon is not inferior to that of some weak gold-rank demonic beasts - both physical defense and magical defense!

If it weren't for the fact that the Earth Walking Dragon didn't know any decent magic and could only rely on its body and minions to fight, it would definitely not be rated as a silver-rank magical beast, at least a gold-level magical beast.

The only drawback of this kind of earth-walking dragon is that it is too edible and untamable, and it is much worse than those bronze-level demonic beast mounts in terms of cost performance, so except for a very small number of elite knights and the established earth-walking dragon knights of the Eastern Dragon Empire, there is no army establishment of the earth-walking dragon knights in other human countries.

However, for these Golden-Rank Decontractors, it was obviously not difficult to conquer an Earth-Walking Dragon. In particular, the knights of these contractors felt sorry for their mounts, and specially purchased special Earth Walking Dragon Armor for their baby mounts in the game space of the gods.

The head of the earthwalker was wrapped in a black metal armor, and the spikes that looked like cold light were obvious. The originally fragile neck and chin were wrapped in delicate and sturdy black iron ring armor, and the abdomen was wrapped in multiple layers of demonic beast leather armor. As for the body, not to mention, the sturdy steel shell mixed with black iron turned the already heavy scale armor of the earthly dragon into a biological tank clad in external armor.

As a result, the charging Earth Dragon now looked more like a hideous steel monster!

Now, dozens of steel dragons wearing the special armor of this earth-walking dragon carried their knights and launched a brutal assault on the poor infantry who were only half their number!

However, what happened next made Rod, who later took the time to watch the blockbuster, have to admit that in this world, madness //believe// disciples are really not the existence of ordinary people who can understand their way of thinking and acting.

"一qiē for the god of holy radiance!!"

Seeing the cluster of Earth Dragon Knights like a steel giant beast rushing towards him, although his face turned white, the more than twenty Radiant Legion soldiers, led by the three officers, shouted slogans praising the God of Divine Radiance with a fanatical face and mortal faith, and then launched a counter-charge against the charging Earth Dragon Knights.

But if slogans and beliefs can make up for the gap in weapons and strength, then the Bali Bridge and the Boxer Rebellion on the earth will not be so badly lost. And in this magical world, the gap in force is even more desperate!

The rampaging Earth Walking Dragon ignored the few small points in front of him at all, and at least the contractors who were all gold-rank knights did not take the other party seriously, and directly brandished the cavalry spear and ended the other party's heroic behavior after a charge.

As for the fate of the Legion of Radiance's madness, the letters, and the disciples are clear, just look at the streets that look like puddles of ketchup and smeared with unknown red and white objects.

After seeing this situation similar to a thriller horror movie, most of the big families of the Holy Radiance Church and the rebel soldiers who had followed behind the contractor who was riding the earth-walking dragon did not look good. Especially some recruits who are obviously coerced have already vomited with poor psychological tolerance.

However, before the contracted forces had finished cleaning up those diehards in the northern city, the mage tower in the city, which was too big to hide, found out that something was wrong, and then directly issued an alarm and attacked.

"Boom!"

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-"

"Peng—"

The spells in the sky exploded and roared in the sky, and the dozen or so mage towers in the northern city district took on the responsibility of protection at this time, stopping a large number of mage towers in the central city and the surrounding two city districts.

At the same time, the troops loyal to the Church of Divine Radiance in the northern city also reacted, trying to resist while trying to wait for reinforcements that did not know when they would come.

However, the Qiē reaction of the Holy Radiance Church and the defenders of Saidnes was too late!

The opening of several openings in the northern wall had caused tens of thousands of Church of the Gods coalition soldiers to frantically pour into Saidnes, and the fierce siege battle in the south a few days ago had caused the Church of Divine Radiance to gather its main forces near the meat grinder on the southern wall. And now that most of the troops in the northern city have defected, and the few loyal forces of the Church of the Holy Radiance have been annihilated, there is no possibility of driving out the allied forces and rebels of the Church of the Gods who are now frantically pouring into Saidnes!

When the reserves in the central city of Saidnes were mobilized, the Knights of the Church of the Gods followed the previous Earth Dragon Knights and other contractors and launched a direct attack on the unfortunate ones who did not understand the current situation.

With the sound of fighting and the illumination that lit up almost the entire night sky, Sednes began to sink into the final and fiercest internal strangulation battle!

Sednes Central Town, in the emergency meeting hall of the Papal Palace.

"The seventeen mage towers in Beicheng District have all defected and surrendered! They are now ignoring our contacts and are now providing a spell barrier for those rebels and enemies?! Bastard !!"

"It has been determined that all five gates of the northern city of Sednes have been lost! The enemy is now rushing straight into the city?!"

"The garrison troops in Beicheng District can no longer be counted on, and the Mage Tower is sure that there are no more troops to resist in Beicheng District! What about the reserves in the Central City? Why hasn't there been a response yet??"

"The reserve forces in the central city are being assembled, now we see if we can catch up"

In the conference room, there was a lot of noise, and the officers and church officials who were in charge of liaising with the outside world were panicked when they received the news, and all kinds of bad news made the scene look extremely chaotic.

Of course, if it were someone else, it would probably not be much better, and the more military-literate and sensitive people are, the more they can feel how bad the situation of Seydnis is now.

Originally, the Divine Radiance Church army that held on to Saidnes was a weak soldier, and those quick Divine Radiance Legions and Crazy //Faith// Disciple Legions were beaten by the enemy when defending the city, and they were completely supported by personal fanatical beliefs, strong and tall walls, and the relevant support of the Mage Tower. Now that the walls of Saidnes have been detained, can they still hope to drive out the allied forces of the Church of the Gods that have poured into Saidnes? It's just too unlikely!

However, for the Pope of the Holy Radiance Church, even if there is only a glimmer of hope now, he must seize it, not to mention that he thinks that the situation can still be saved, who is not clear about the specific situation in the North City District now.

"Mobilize troops to retake the northern city and city walls! The Mage Tower will support at any cost! Be fast!"

The Pope, who had just gotten out of bed and was a little disheveled, yelled at the chaos of the scene.

Originally, tonight, His Excellency the Pope put his arms around the two "holy women" to vent the stress accumulated in the siege battles for several days and prepare for a good night's sleep. But after being suddenly woken up, he saw the current situation, like a gambler who was about to lose all his gambling capital but refused to admit that he planned to hold it up, and pushed the only remaining chips in his hand up!

"Yes! His Majesty the Pope!" *n

Listening to His Majesty's roar, everyone present calmed down, then looked at each other, and quickly used means such as the magic communication array to contact the army that could control the Zì in Saidnes.

It should be said that the hearts of the people present are basically similar to those of the Pope, and they all have the mentality of not admitting defeat. After all, for them who couldn't surrender to the alliance of the Church of the Gods, was there any better way than to stand on the side of the Holy Radiance Church? Surrender is death and death to fight, and they are already in a situation of endless death with the Church of the Gods.

Along with the dark psychology of "breaking the jar and breaking it" and "pulling people to back their backs even if they die", the high-level church and military leaders present directly conveyed the orders of His Majesty the Pope to the troops below.

As a result, one of the defenders of Saidnes then took the initiative to attack the enemy who occupied the northern city - or rather, to send them to their deaths!

A little more than two hours later, Sednes' West Town is a few streets away from the North Town.

"Boom—"

"Whew!!"

"Ahh

In the wide streets, a unilateral massacre of one of the Sednes city defense units that had just arrived was underway.

Hundreds of Golden Knight Rank contractors were armed with heavy weapons such as two-handed heavy swords and long-handled battle axes, and then controlled the Earth Walking Dragons under their command to directly trample on the city defense troops who had just woken up on the opposite side.

The whole scene is extremely violent and bloody!

There are thousands of defenders in Saidnes, but the quality of the two sides is not at all a grade. Even in the face of hundreds of golden warriors, they are powerless to resist, let alone hundreds of golden knights riding earth-walking dragons!

After seeing hundreds of excited Earth Dragons rushing towards them, everyone in the city defense army was dumbfounded, not knowing how to face the charge of these huge and heavily armored beasts. And before they could figure it out, hundreds of Dou Qi slashes turned the unlucky eggs at the front into pieces, and then the roaring Earth Walking Dragon rushed into the formation.

In the face of the majesty of the earth-walking dragon, which was several meters high and weighed by tons, at least half of the city's defenders, composed of light infantry and crossbowmen, had the intention of fleeing backwards at the first time. However, it is obvious that there are times when two legs can run more than four legs, but definitely not on such a street that is less than a few hundred meters away.

When the charging Earth Dragon ignored the slightest resistance from the opposite side and directly brought up blood-colored passages in the enemy's formation, the city defenders of Saidnes directly collapsed. Hundreds of soldiers fled without hesitation, or jumped directly into the shops and houses surrounding the streets, trying to escape the killing of the dragon knights.

Those guys who were a little slower to react ended up tragically, neither the Golden Knight nor the Silver Peak Earth Dragons could fight against those gray iron rank soldiers. After the bloodied Dragonrider runs over the streets, the number of lucky people who survive will never exceed one-fifth. And after seeing their commander easily stabbed into meat skewers with a spear by a dragon knight, all the survivors directly chose to surrender to those fierce dragon knights.

Thankfully, at least these terrifying Earthwalking Dragon Knights accepted their surrender and let a group of Church of the Gods coalition soldiers rush behind them to crush them away.

"Contact the Mage Tower and see if there are any enemies around!" Looking at the streets that had been turned into slaughterhouses and the captives with happy faces, one of the leading Earth Dragon Knights shouted disgruntled to his comrades beside him.

For them, the elite of the Church of the Gods coalition, tonight's battle was too unchallenging!

I thought it would be a hard battle or a trap battle, but with the cooperation of Nei Ying, it directly turned into a sweep, and the small number of surviving Holy Radiance Legions and mad //letter // people in the northern city area had no power to fight back against them at all, and the other sporadically assembled garrisons in the central city and the east and west city districts did not need to say anything, and the Seydenis City defender who had just been wiped out was the most typical example!

"Captain, there is information from the Mage Tower, saying that a large number of enemies have appeared in some neighborhoods adjacent to the North City District!"

When contacting the Mage Tower, a contractor reported to his boss a message that interested him.

"Oh? And the enemy, where?"

The leading Earth Dragon Knight's eyes lit up and he began to ask.

Subsequently, the Knights of the Earth Dragons joined the Church of the Gods coalition forces that had entered the city behind, and began to launch an active attack on the defenders of Saidnes who had finally gathered from other cities and rushed over.

After that, it's a bloody melee fight!

Although Saidnes experienced five days of tragic attrition in the siege battle, he was still able to allocate nearly 300,000 troops for the battle in the northern city. Among them, half of them belong to the number of recruits who can only fight the battle of the wind and the defense of the city, and among the remaining 150,000 people, there are 30,000 soldiers of the Holy Radiance Legion, and the rest are also those who are extremely devout and believe in the soldiers.

Comparatively speaking, the number of the Church of the Gods coalition army that has poured into the northern city of Saidnis is only more than 200,000, but in terms of average quality, the Church of the Gods coalition soldiers who have survived a hundred battles have completely destroyed those mad //believers// disciples, and the elite troops composed of the contractors in the elite troops definitely exceed those Saint Radiance Legionnaires who have been promoted by the Holy Radiance Church. Not to mention, there are nearly 100,000 defective troops on the side of the Church of the Gods coalition.

With the help of the absence of the Mage Tower (which is competing with the Mage Tower in the North City) and the superior mage forces (which have been largely lost in the previous two years of fighting, and the remaining elites are controlling the Mage Tower), the cronies of the Church of Radiance who have gathered from the rest of Sednes have almost attacked the North City with flesh and blood.

Well, it is indeed the cronies of the Holy Radiance Church who are working hard, and those recruits and new legions that originally belonged to the Holy Radiance Church or the Holy Radiance Empire are playing soy sauce on the battlefield.

Obviously, at this time, the discerning people or the smarter people understand that the general trend of the Holy Radiance Church has gone, and at this time, the attitude of those recruits and the newly established legions that originally belonged to the establishment of the Holy Radiance Empire, and their status and treatment are equivalent to that of the queen can be imagined. Even after the Church of the Gods coalition appeared, more than half of these soy sauce troops surrendered directly to the acquaintances of the defector troops who joined forces with the Church of the Gods.

In contrast, the Legion of Radiance and those mad //letter // disciples fought to the last moment and did not surrender much.

However, even at the last moment, these guys who still fought and died heroically with the God of Divine Radiance they believed in didn't know that the spokesman of the god they believed in, the pope of the Holy Radiance Church and some high-ranking people had abandoned them!

While the troops at the front were still fighting bloodily, an elite team of Knights of Warcraft left directly from the Papal Palace in the central city, and then split into several directions to leave from Seydnes.

In the night sky, it was impossible for the Sky Knights of the Church of the Gods Alliance to surround the entire Saidnes, although they found the Knights of Warcraft divided into several teams with hundreds of members, but they could not stop them in time.

"Open the teleportation circle and send us away! Then set it to self-protection mode!"

After watching those Demon Beast Knights who were used to confuse fly away, the Pope, who was now in the mage tower control layer in the central city, had a cold face and directly gave orders to several Sacred Mages beside him.

"Yes! His Majesty the Pope!"

A few minutes later, the Pope and a group of high-ranking members of his confidants disappeared directly into the mage tower, announcing that Seydnis had lost the top command staff. (To be continued......) R1292
