"Whoa-whoa-whoa-"

"Boom !!"

"Boom !!"

"Buzz-buzz-"

With the roar of boulders and trebuchets piercing the sky with magic bullets, magic cannons, and crystal cannons, and the sound of falling movements, explosions, explosions, and explosions on the walls of Saidnes, the hapless defenders on the walls of Saidnes were in dire straits.

Although it stands to reason that the defenders have a natural advantage over the besieging side, in the magical world, this common sense of the Cold Weapon Age on the earth also faces the challenge of magic and other factors!

For example, the giant magic trebuchet newly produced by the gods game space!

The average effective range even reaches 12 kilometers, and if the key parts use the acceleration circle of the wind system or the weight reduction circle of the earth system, it can even reach the ultimate effective range of 15 kilometers - this is beyond the range of most army artillery guns in World War II on the earth, and the special magic bullet is not even inferior to the power of the modern high // explosion // cannon // shell on the earth!

A lightweight magic giant crossbow produced by the Gods Play Space!

The effective range is more than eight kilometers, and some of the high-explosive arrows and armor-piercing arrows produced are not even willing to block head-on even the melee professionals of the Sanctuary level, which is an easy and pleasant thing to deal with ordinary city walls!

The real yΓ n-type magic cannon produced by the game space of the gods!

The effective range is even more than eighty kilometers, and the power of the smallest magic cannon within fifty kilometers is equivalent to the lethality of silver-rank spells, and the largest one is equivalent to the lethality of spells of the Sanctuary rank!

The real yΓ n-type magic light cannon produced by the gods game space!

Although the consumption is comparable to burning money, the instantaneous lethality of the magic light cannon directly reimburses a gold-rank mage tower

Under the frenzied bombardment of many of the latest magical siege weapons thrown into the Church of the Gods coalition, the defenders of Saidnes, who were supposed to be impregnable, lost more than 30,000 lives in just over an hour. And the precious mage towers were directly destroyed by the new magic guide cannons and new magic light cannons of the Church of the Gods coalition army by accident, and now the dozens of mage towers remaining in Saidnes are too late to protect themselves, where can they provide shelter for the defenders on the city wall?

Now, not to mention the recruits who are demoralized and mixed, even those fanatical believers in the God of Radiance and the members of the Radiant Legion who are regarded as the pillars of the Radiance Church are all colorless when they look at the situation on the city wall, and the high-ranking members of the Divine Radiance Church and the Pope in the largest mage tower are even more pale.

How to fight this kind of siege warfare, which is overwhelmed by the opponent's superior weapons?

Before the Pope and the higher-ups of the Church of Divine Radiance could come up with a solution, after two hours of carpet bombardment, the allied forces of the Church of the Gods, which had almost flattened one of the walls of Saidnes, finally stopped the terrifying long-range siege weapon fire.

"Wansheng !!"

"For the glory of the god of war!!"

With various slogans, the first batch of Church of the Gods coalition soldiers who knew they were cannon fodder but still fanatically entered the battlefield pushed improved siege engines and rushed towards Saidnes under the cover of a large number of priests and mages in the rear.

Similarly, the soldiers of the Holy Radiance Empire, who saw that their opponents had begun to launch a siege charge, also began to rush towards the tattered cityhead, and began to prepare for the battle while they were busy dealing with the cityhead position!

Ten minutes later, when the siege troops entered the range of the Saidnes city defense weapons, the tragic siege battle began!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Limut, that's a very humble name.

As an ordinary citizen of Saidnes, Limut was an orphan who grew up living in the slums of Saidnes.

Like the capitals of the earth, the slums and those low-level citizens in the capital of the Radiance Empire will at least starve to death (too much to affect the image of the Radiant Church), and from time to time a relief with black bread, water, etc., to make Limut devout believe in the God of Radiance.

Therefore, when Limut, who was just seventeen years old, saw that the elderly nun with a kind face and who often gave him black bread when he was a child also came forward to call on the followers of the God of Radiance to defend the holy city of Saidnes, Limut, who was already quite devout to the God of Divine Radiance (mainly praying for the God of Divine Radiance to be his spiritual belief when he was a child), was very hot, and directly signed up for the Divine Radiance Legion composed of those Divine Radiance Maniacs//believers// disciples.

As a result, when the offensive and defensive battle of Saidnes really started, Limut, who had been in the religious atmosphere and its strong Holy Radiance Legion for more than ten days, and really transformed from a loyal believer to a mad //believe//disciple, was directly frightened by the terrifying battle situation!

Poor God, a priest who has seen the God of Radiance at most and the official priests using healing spells has seen the Church of the Gods coalition with the strongest siege firepower in the history of the world? If it weren't for Limut, the lucky one, defending in the second echelon instead of on the city walls, it is estimated that he would have died by now!

Of course, the current situation was not much luck for Limut, as he was now climbing to the top of the walls of Saidnes with his comrades at the urging of his squad leader to meet the enemy forces who were attacking the city.

"Quick! Don't let those heretics climb up!"

"Climb up! Be sure to hold on to the walls!!"

Amid the shouts of officers of all levels in the Radiant Legion and the mad //letter//disciples, Limut, who now had the strength of the bronze rank, rushed to the tattered city wall with his comrades in a daze.

However, as soon as they stepped on the city that seemed to have turned into a pile of rubble, Limut and the other comrades found that the defensive weapons prepared at the entire city were basically lost, except for the city defense weapons stored in some hidden points, the other defensive weapons and many soldiers that were originally placed on the city were basically turned into debris and corpses in front of the terrifying magic version of the siege weapon. By the time Limut and the others, under the orders of their respective governors, pulled out the giant crossbows and small trebuchets in those storage sites, the combined spell of the Church of the Gods coalition was activated!

"Boom !!"

"Boom !!"

With a dozen loud rumbling sounds, more than a dozen slopes several kilometers long rose rapidly in the land outside the city of Saidnes. Then, under the horrified gaze of the many frightened eyes on the walls of Saidnes, these slopes raised by the priests of the Earth God Church launched a joint divine spell directly linked the slopes with the hundred-meter-high walls of Saidnes!

- In fact, this is also the reason why I am so lucky that I have added an anti-demon material to the walls of Saidnes, otherwise the combined magic of a large number of priests of the Church of the Gods alliance can directly turn Saidnes's walls into a smooth road.

However, the situation was not good, as the enemy knights had begun to charge on the dozen or so rocky slopes, and the defenders on the walls of Saidnes were unable to defeat the opposing knights.

As for the Mage Towers and Mage Corps in Saidnes

Well, the elite forces of the Shenghui Empire were almost buried in the tug-of-war for more than two years. Now in Saidnes, the dozen or so mage towers around the city wall that was used as the main attack have almost been demolished by the opponent's attack. In other words, you can't expect to get the magic support of the Mage Tower in time near this wall!

However, in this terrible form, those Legion of Divine Radiance and the frenzied //letter// disciples still put up the most stubborn resistance, using the weapons in their hands and those defensive weapons that had just been drawn out to launch a counterattack against the charging knights.

Unfortunately, apart from those warriors of the Bronze rank or above and weapons such as enchanted crossbows and enchanted trebuchets, other ordinary weapons were extremely lethal to those official knights wearing the heavy armor of the Enchanted Knights, and when the Church of the Gods coalition side paid a few casualties, they quickly approached the head of Seydnis!

"For the sake of the God of Radiance! Rush ah!!"

Watching those steel cans in the heavy armor of enchanted knights and even their mounts rushing towards him, the defenders at the head of the city fought back under the lead charge of the fanatical Legion of Divine Radiance and the frenzied //letter// disciples chanting slogans. Dressed in an enchanted armor, Limut waved his shield and sword in a dishful manner, and followed the team of men and horses to rush towards the Church of the Gods coalition knights who were raising their weapons quickly.

After just one wave of fighting spirit, the Holy Radiance Legion and the mad //letter// disciples, who didn't know how powerful the knights were united, fell. And on the slope where Limut was, hundreds of allied knights of the Church of the Gods raised their spears in their hands!

"Poofβ€”"

"Bang-"

"Helpβ€”"

Relying on common low-level demonic beast mounts such as wind wildebeests, after the official knights weighing more than one ton on average charged at a speed of more than eighty kilometers per hour, even the wooden submachine cavalry rifles used by the trainee cavalry were enough to crush those unlucky eggs on the city into slag, not to mention the hundreds of official knights of at least the bronze rank at the same time to stimulate their fighting spirit and have special enchanted knight spears in their hands, the tragic situation of directly grinding out flesh and blood passages in the defensive defender group is absolutely heartbreaking. Seeing this, the few ordinary legionnaires tried to escape, but they were immediately cut down by the Overseers behind them, and then barely managed to maintain the defensive formation on the city walls.

As for Limut, he was lucky not to die in this first charge, but unfortunately less than twenty meters from him and a few of his companions, an enemy knight who had just drawn his rifle from the corpse was looking at them.

The knight, wearing a full-coverage T-helmet, then plunged his bloodied spear directly into the weapon rack behind him, and charged at them with a tomahawk.

"Kill, !!" Under the angry howl of the squad leader of Limut and the leading charge of the leader, several quick quasi-red bronze soldiers followed their squad leader and rushed towards the knight.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the other side, Renard House (Note 1), whose armor was almost completely baptized with flesh and blood, looked at the enemies, showed a sinister smile, and then urged his monster mount, wielding a long-handled battle axe and swinging at the enemies.

Renard House is a middle-aged strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a beard, who originally belonged to the city defense army in a certain city in the Divine Radiance Empire, has a wife and a pair of lovely children, and belongs to a rather happy family.

But one day, when Renard House's beautiful wife is taken by a priest in the city, a tragedy destroys the otherwise happy family.

Under the priest's fabricated charge of "blasphemy", Renard House, who was originally loyal to the belief in the god of divine light, was directly imprisoned in the city, and his wife and children were taken away by the priest and never appeared again.

When the dying Renard House, who had been imprisoned for most of the year and was almost tortured, became a contractor and was forced out of the cell, the last thing he saw in the basement of the bastard priest's house was the bones of his wife and children. And the priest even held a few poor women in the basement who had suffered the same thing, but survived because it didn't last long.

There is no doubt that after Renard House tortured the priest of the Divine Radiance Church to death with the most brutal means, he became a member of the wanted and all-out pursuit of the Holy Radiance Empire. Reynard House, on the other hand, directly discarded his once devout belief in the God of Radiance and became a loyal believer under the command of the Great God of War.

Subsequently, like other contractors of the Holy Radiance Empire, when the Church of the Gods coalition army quickly invaded the vicinity of the city where Renard House was located, Renard House, who was originally hiding in Tibet, directly became a member of the Church of the Gods coalition army, and then became the craziest and most desperate warrior on the battlefield!

However, after more than two years, Renard House is also well-known in the coalition army of the Church of the Gods led by Magnus Claudius, and he has repeatedly performed well in tragic battles, and he has even won the favor of the God of War and has been rewarded with many rewards to improve his strength, and now Renard House is a knight at the peak of gold!

Now facing the final battle of Saidnes, the Holy Radiance Empire, Renard House, who was originally a war maniac in the eyes of others, took the initiative to ask for help, and became a member of the most tragic vanguard combat force possible.

Now, after Reynard House, who rushed to the head of the city with a single charge, rushed to the head of the city and created a bloody path tens of meters long, after watching a few miscellaneous soldiers of the Holy Radiance Empire rush towards him, he directly drew out his long-handled battle axe and rushed towards these guys!

After Renard House urged his beast mount, a green wind wings spell caused his dash speed to soar, and then the enchanted battle axe that he wielded flashed with a fighting light.

"Click-poof-"

With the charge and slash of Renard House, the squad leader of the Holy Radiance Legion who was originally rushing to the front couldn't even scream and was directly cut in two, the sharp enchanted weapon and the sturdy enchanted steel armor did not play any role in front of the opponent at all, and even the squad leader who had reached the fast red bronze rank did not even have time to send out the standard fighting spirit slash.

Several of the Radiant Legion soldiers who followed the Divine Radiance Legion squad leader to launch a charge were commendable, even when their own commander was killed in battle and the surrounding city was in chaos, they resolutely charged at the strong enemy, and the situation of chanting the slogan of the Holy Radiance God and charging against the strong enemy really has to be described as "courageous"!

However, even in the magical world of Yaofa Continent, courage still can't replace the absolute gap in strength!

Reynard House, who was now eager to kill the God of Radiance and the members of the Church of Radiance, looked at his opponent with such courage that his face under the T-helmet became unusually hideous and bloodthirsty.

"Die!!"

With the roar of Renard Howes and the swing of the battle axe, in just a few blinks of an eye, the few Radiant Legionnaires who rushed up turned into broken corpses. And Limut failed to maintain his good luck this time, and was directly split by a tomahawk from Renard House, and the armor was directly cut in half!

Limut, who was now dragging half of his body to the ground and howling miserably, was now completely devoid of his previous excitement, hesitation, and mid-rush belief in the God of Radiance, only the misery and endless remorse that came from his body.

But immediately, Limut was liberated - a huge monster hoof appeared above his head with the sound of the wind, and then with a sound like a watermelon shattering "Peng", Limut was completely liberated!

"Hah! Is this the way it is taken? It's so easy."

Renard House, who didn't mind what he had just done, rode on his beloved mount, and looked at the collapsed or half-collapsed warbands on the surrounding city walls, and felt incredible in his heart.

After all, as the capital of the Divine Radiance Empire, would Saidnes be so lightly defeated in the case of siege weapons bombardment + combined spells + a charge?

Immediately, the counterattack of the Mage Tower in Saidnes made Renard House realize that he was still thinking too much.

"Boomβ€”"

"Buzz-buzz-"

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-"

With the outer city walls about to fall, the defenders of the legendary rank mage towers in the center of Saidnes, under the pressure of the Pope and the church's higher-ups, didn't care about the magic of the mage towers, and directly went all out!

The slopes raised by the Earth God Priest Group were directly destroyed by the spells issued by the Mage Tower, and on top of the already lost section of the city wall, balls of pure white flames the size of a small room were directly smashed down!

Those pure white balls of flame were terrifyingly powerful, and if they smashed directly on the city wall, they would leave the bones of those unlucky eggs that were smashed. And before the other lucky ones were pleasantly surprised, a large piece of pure white flames splashed out of the pure white flame ball was like a huge net, directly "baptizing" and "purifying" the hundreds of meters of city walls, regardless of whether they were friends or enemies.

With the indiscriminate attack of the mage tower in Saidnes City, the soldiers of the Church of the Gods coalition who attacked this city wall fell into a desperate situation, and in the end, except for a few strong and lucky people who jumped off the city wall in time, all the others were killed!

And Renard House was not able to escape this catastrophe, and under the numerous Purifying Fireballs (the official name of the pure white Flame Ball Rain), the Covenanter of the Holy Radiance Empire, who had almost reached the rank of Sanctuary, died on the city walls!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The deaths of Limut, Renard House, and others did not cause any waves on the battlefield, and even the fact that the tens of thousands of vanguard troops of the Church of the Gods were almost lost did not attract much attention from both sides.

The Church of the Gods coalition army, which was in sight of victory and had been blessed by the gods before, valued that their side had rushed to the city wall at one time, and the more than two million Church of the Gods coalition army did not care about the loss of tens of thousands of vanguard troops at all.

As for the side of the Holy Radiance Empire, there is not much to mention, they are on the defensive side, they were breached by the enemy almost on the first day, and now they still rely on the support and indiscriminate killing of the mage tower to barely keep the city wall. The top brass of the Holy Radiance Church, whose casualties were at least twice as many as those outside, really didn't have the spirit to celebrate this "victory", but focused all their energy on the next wave of attacks from the heretical sects.

With a brief silence, the many siege weapons that had been stopped by the Church of the Gods coalition continued to roar!
