For the next three days, the Church of the Gods coalition launched an almost non-stop attack on the wall that had chosen the direction of attack during the daylight hours of each day!

Siege weapons rage - mages and priests cast combined spells or combined magic spells to create terrain suitable for siege - launch a tentative attack......

Magnus Claudius's barely unchanged siege process was familiar to the upper echelons of the Church of the Holy Light in Saidnes and the soldiers below for almost three days.

However, in the face of the enemy's advanced magical siege weapons, a large number of mage regiments, priest regiments, air knights, Warcraft knights and a large number of low-level combat power, the defenders in Saidnes can only be beaten passively and have no power to fight back!

Not to mention magic siege weapons!

The attitude of the monotheistic Divine Radiance Empire towards magicians and magic products is much stricter than that of the Cross Sect on the earth, and the defensive weapons that can be manufactured in the Divine Radiance Empire, such as the enchanted giant crossbow and the enchanted trebuchet, are probably slightly stronger than the five northern countries, and the power and range are much worse than those of other human kingdoms, and there is no need to compare them at all compared to the siege weapons of the improved version of the game space of the gods - the two sides are completely the weapon gap between the First World War on Earth and the end of World War II!

On the other hand, the confrontation between the mage group and the priest group in the alliance of the Church of the Gods and the mage tower in Saidnis is said to have suffered a little. However, the magic siege equipment on the side of the Church of the Gods coalition is too sharp, and the gap between the two sides in terms of quality and quantity is no longer a situation that dozens of mage towers can make up. Not to mention, the wealthy Church of the Gods coalition even built a simple mage tower and an altar of the gods, so that the mage group and the priest group on their side suppressed each other.

Not to mention the elite combat power of the Sky Knights, Warcraft Knights, and Knights, if the Holy Radiance Empire dares to come out of the Saidnes to fight, it will definitely be the end of the entire army!

The cannon fodder on the lower level is probably the smallest gap between the two sides, but it is a pity that the Holy Radiance Church that was pressed and beaten can't even use cannon fodder to consume the other party on the city wall, and the casualty gap between the two sides is on the contrary, the Holy Radiance Church that occupies the defense of the imperial capital of Saidnes is higher than the coalition side of the Church of the Gods who are besieging the city.

However, seeing that the battle situation was in the form of a tug-of-war, the high-ranking officials of the Holy Radiance Church and the Pope, who were a little relieved, did not know that after witnessing the offensive of the coalition forces of the Church of the Gods, the undercurrent in Saidnes had already begun to surge!

On the night of the third day of the siege, a shop in the outer city of Saidnes.

Outwardly, this shop is similar to other depressed or even closed Seydnis shops, with nothing special or eye-catching. Even the soldiers of the Holy Radiance Empire, who had been in charge of inspecting and searching for spies in the past few days, came over, and the owner of this shop was just like the other small merchants with a sad face, and offered some things and silver coins to send those soldiers away.

However, in the basement of the store's backyard, in a basement dozens of meters underground, the small businessman named Ryan Britz (Note 1) who owns the shop is looking at a dozen people wearing masks in front of him with a stern expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that our army is about to break through Saidnes, you should have made up your mind!"

Looking at the dozen or so people in the basement where the shielding magic array was set up, and their faces were not even bold, and their whole bodies were shrouded in black robes, Ryan Britz said in a very flat tone.

Well, Ryan Britz is a contractor, who became a Covenanter of the Gods Game Space three months ago and believes in the god of commerce, and now he is an important liaison placed in Saidnes by the Church of the Gods coalition, responsible for liaising with some of the people in Saidnis who want to jump off the ship of the Church of the Divine Radiance and find the Alliance's high-level contacts.

However, for Ryan Britz, after this kind of thing that is supposed to be quite dangerous was promised by him, he found that it was actually not dangerous.

Because the current situation is basically seen clearly by all those who understand, it is really unknown whether the Holy Radiance Empire can survive the 1146th year of the Dawn Calendar, and at this time, except for some unlucky people in the Holy Radiance Church who cannot surrender and those who are not afraid of death, everyone else is holding the idea of living a day and even directly turning against the water.

As a result, Ryan Britz has been having a pretty good couple of months, and now it's time for him to show his results!

"We're ready to start working in the evening in two days!"

Listening to Ryan Britz's unkind words, a dozen masked men did not mean to be angry at all, and a masked man who was obviously the leader looked at the others for a moment, and then spoke to Ryan Britz.

"Two days later? Maybe two days later, Sedenis will be breached, so what are you going to do?"

The masked man who couldn't even change his voice and couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman replied, Ryan Britz's face was very ugly, and he looked at the masked man sarcastically with a mocking expression.

Of course, Ryan Britz's words must be exaggerated, but if it is delayed for two days, the coalition forces of the Church of the Gods who are besieging the city may pay tens of thousands of casualties, and Ryan Britz does not think this is good news.

"Your Excellency, the walls of Sednes are so strong that there are almost ten million people in the whole of Sednes now, and His Majesty the Pope is mobilizing those who have taken refuge in the army, and Sednes will definitely not be able to take it in a day or two. And now we have to be very careful not to alert others."

Listening to Ryan Britz, a little man who used to disdain to look at him, make a big speech in front of him, the leading masked man couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then explained very carefully.

The masked man's surname is Claudius, and he belongs to Magnus Claudius's junior, and the dozen or so masked men present are also basically former allies of the Claudius family. However, now these guys who used to be powerful in the Holy Radiance Church and the Holy Radiance Empire are in this secret room, discussing how to take action in Saidnes to destroy the Holy Radiance Church from the inside and outside? It sounds a little incredible, but it's the unanimous idea of the Claudius family and the rest of the family@

There is no way, thanks to the influence of Brother Magnus Claudius in the alliance of the Church of the Gods, the position of the Claudius family in the Holy Radiance Empire is extremely embarrassing. Especially before the 1145th year of the Dawn calendar, the Claudius family was almost wiped out from the Church of Divine Radiance and the Holy Radiance Empire by the angry Pope and other families whose interests were damaged due to the growth of the alliance of the Church of the Gods and the death of several legendary powerhouses one after another!

Fortunately, the Claudius family is indeed deeply rooted in the Divine Radiance Empire and the Holy Radiance Church, coupled with the unprecedented offensive of the Church of the Gods coalition and the changes that may be brought about. After giving almost all of their power and a great deal of wealth, the Claudius family barely survived, and there was little movement in Sednes.

But now in the face of the mighty Church of the Gods coalition outside Saidnes, the Claudius family and some other friendly families, who finally saw the opportunity, sent out more than a month ago to prepare to contact Magnus Claudius and the Church of the Gods coalition army. Now that he saw hope, no matter how annoyed the Claudius family and the secret liaison of the other families were, he still respectfully explained his difficulties to Ryan Britz.

"No matter how difficult it is for you! If you still use an excuse to postpone the action this time, then you can do it!"

After listening to the explanation of the Claudius family, Ryan Britz looked at the people around him coldly, and directly issued words similar to an ultimatum.

In Saidnes, the coalition of the Church of the Gods was not without corresponding, but Magnus Claudius agreed to the Claudius family and others out of caution and to reduce casualties.

But after three days of more than six figures in the number of casualties on both sides, Ryan Britz, who received the news, did not dare to delay the time like this, and must be able to break through Seidnes in the shortest possible time!

"We understand that before noon the day after tomorrow, tell sΓΉ about the relevant hands-on time!" The masked man of the Claudius family, who also understood that he must now side with the coalition of the Church of the Gods, was very straightforward and directly stated that he would definitely not be ambiguous this time.

Later, in several other shops on the street, masked men who had changed their costumes quietly left the area.

As night falls, a slightly dilapidated courtyard on the edge of Sednes' central town is rarely quiet.

In this courtyard that is obviously very old, in one of the seemingly inconspicuous buildings, in an underground chamber filled with all kinds of hidden magic arrays and hidden magic arrays, the masked man of the Claudius family who had just spoken to Ryan Britz now revealed his true colors, and respectfully reported to the few people in front of him.

"Patriarch, that's all the situation!"

After a few minutes of talking about himself, the male member of the Claudius family, who showed that he was at least thirty years old, spoke respectfully to an old man in the center of the chamber.

"Miller, good job, go down and rest!" After listening to the report of the family member named Miller, the old man named the patriarch did not express his opinion, but directly sent the family member named Miller out of the secret room.

After seeing Miller respectfully leaving the secret room, a middle-aged man couldn't help but speak.

"Father, is there something wrong with Miller? It can't be, right?"

Looking at his father, Ronald Claudius asked in puzzlement.

Ronald Claudius, who is currently a knight of the Sanctuary rank, was once the head of the Knights of the Holy Sword, but was left two years ago due to the situation of Magnus Claudius, the former pillar of the family. However, the subsequent battle of the Church of the Holy Radiance destroyed the three major knights and the Holy Radiant Mage, so that Ronald Claudius did not know whether to be happy or sad.

Now after seeing that his father did not speak, the Sanctuary Knight, who had far more muscles than brains, spoke on his own.

"No problem with Miller! And the current Inquisition doesn't have the energy to stare at us, and even the Pluto family may not have the meaning of the new director of the Inquisition" Listening to his eldest son's brainless words, Merkel Claudius, who was sitting in the center of the chair and sighed about something, couldn't help but have a headache, and then helplessly explained the current situation to his eldest son and the two relatives on the other side.

Similar to the famous saying on Earth, "the tree falls and the tree is scattered", in the case that the Holy Radiance Empire and the Holy Radiance Church are now about to run out, there are many people who want to get in touch with the Claudius family, who were once treated as a plague. Then talk to the "Sword of Judgment" who was once the pride of the Church of the Divine Radiance, and now leads an army of millions to besiege Seydenes, and then talk to Brother Magnus Claudius about changing jobs and something.

If it weren't for the Church of the Gods coalition offering to deal with the feud between certain people and Magnus Claudius, perhaps the high-ranking members of the Church of the Holy Light who are now on the Pope's side would have joined in.

As for Miller Claudius, not to mention, betraying the family he belongs to in this magical world is quite an important stain, especially in this case, even if Miller Claudius takes the wrong medicine and wants to betray, Claudius and the others will not be stupid enough to choose to bet on the side of the shipwrecked Church of Radiance.

The reason for the distraction of Merkel Claudius, who only has the strength of the Golden Swordsman, is that his half-brother, who is now much more famous on the mainland than the original "Sword of Judgment" - Magnus Claudius!

Faced with this brother who once brought the family almost ruin, Merkel Claudius didn't know what expression to use when they met again.

"Now my concern is, what are the chances of our operation succeeding?" Looking at the several members of the Claudius family present, Merkel Claudius, who came to his senses, directly pulled out a reasonable reason.

"Patriarch, now is not the time to pursue the odds of success, we have no choice!"

Listening to this reason of his patriarch, Ronald Claudius said that the other two people in the room were also a Sanctuary rank powerhouse who belonged to the Claudius family, and said with a wry smile.

Can it still be chosen by the Claudius family and others? It's all ready to be sent!

"Yes, even if we don't act, those in the Church of God will" Listening to the truth of one of the pillars of his family, Merkel Claudius also replied with a wry smile.

Next, dozens of places in the city of Saidnes have secret conversations, and the shadows of Saidnes, which already has many undercurrents, begin to fall into an unprecedented big operation.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The fifth day of the siege

As night fell, the walls of the northern part of Saidnes, which had been on guard during the day, began to loosen.

On top of the walls of Saidnes, some of the recruits and veterans on duty began to whisper about the five days of tragic siege after eating a fairly sumptuous dinner (plenty of black bread + broth + greens).

"Have you heard of that? More than 100,000 people have died on the southern wall, and now tens of thousands of people are killed and wounded every day!"

A veteran with obvious old qualifications looked at the enemy camp dozens of kilometers outside the city, and said to the people around him with a sigh.

"That's it! It is said that we have already begun to transfer people from our city wall and the surrounding city walls to fill in the southern wall!"

After hearing this, it seemed that the conversation had been opened, and another veteran (in fact, he had just been called up more than three months ago, but he was a veteran compared to the other ones who had been recruited more than ten days ago) also complained.

"I really don't want to be transferred, it is said that those false god soldiers are crazy"

"Those old men give orders, can you still not go?"

A great deal of the same discussion was evident among the defenders on the ramparts, and the officers and chaplains in charge did not bother with these demoralizing grumblings, as long as they did not say them to their faces.

After all, for them who were more well-informed, the news that the southern wall had almost killed and injured hundreds of thousands of people in five days was really not news, and even these officers and priests were uneasy in this situation. Except for those fanatics who believe in the God of Divine Radiance, the others really don't want to engage in such a hopeless battle in their hearts!

At night, almost two o'clock on Earth, is a gate in the northern walls of Saidnes.

A squadron leader who was originally on duty at the city gate is now taking his henchmen and a group of strange soldiers to deal with the guards who were originally at the gate.

Although they were in a state of war, the guards at the city gate post were obviously unprepared, and in the face of familiar officers and shift changers, they were unsuspecting and were directly killed by the poisoned dull daggers.

"It's all dealt with! Hurry up and open the gates! And send a signal of success!"

Looking at the dead line of guards, the squadron leader breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to one of the contractors next to him who was responsible for cooperating.

"Understood!"

The contractor who had been lurking in Saidnes also understood the current situation, and informed the operation troops outside as he watched the gates slowly open under the magic machinery.

The five northern gates were seized at about the same time, and most of the soldiers and officers who were on night duty on the walls were bribed by the Claudius family and other family members, and a few madmen were directly dealt with. However, the more than a dozen mage towers responsible for the vigilance in the city, especially the guard of the northern city wall, had a civil strife, and the die-hard faction of the Holy Radiance Empire was suddenly attacked and cleared by the people sent by the contractor and these big families of the Holy Radiance Empire, while the other neutral and moderate magicians simply chose to surrender after receiving a promise that they would not harm them!

"Cut off contact with the mage towers that are not in charge, and prepare defensive measures!"

In a legendary mage tower in the northern city, Ronald Claudius, who was in charge of leading the team, spoke directly to a Sanctuary rank mage beside him.

For them, the current success is only a good start, and they must wait for the Church of the Gods coalition to break into Saidnes and gain a foothold before the operation can be considered a real success!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

At the same time, outside the northern city wall, tens of thousands of contractors who had avoided the scanning of the mage tower in the city with the help of night and various means also rushed towards the five city gates that were slowly opening after receiving the signal that the operation had begun!

"Rush forward! The city gate must be controlled !!"

In the darkness of the night, one of the contractors who had summoned the Beast mount shouted loudly to the other contractors.

As long as the city gate can be controlled, the Warcraft knights, knights, and cavalry who have already started to set off in the camp behind will quickly reinforce them, and the entire Sedenis will lose its strongest protection and face the blade of the Church of the Gods coalition army directly!

Before that, it was necessary for these selected Celestial Contractors of the Holy Radiance Empire to rush forward and control the open city gates!
