Benjamin had no choice but to abandon the pursuit.

He flew in the air, with Koster behind him. The city served as their only stronghold in the kingdom, civilians, soldiers, mages...... The dense block is connected to the harbor, and countless people gather here, all of whom raise their heads at this moment, and invariably look at the dozens of white lights that pierce the night sky.

Not everyone has time to escape, and not everyone wants to.

Once the artillery fire falls, at least two-thirds of the buildings will be razed to the ground, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people will be reduced to powder. No one could have imagined that the church would be so ruthless and destroy it if they couldn't get it, and judging from their swift actions, this was definitely a backup plan they had already thought of.

"Quick, evacuate the crowd, run as far as you can!" said Benjamin, who had only a few minutes left, shouting at the mages behind him.

With that, he flew straight upwards and stopped in the path of the Holy Light cannonball.

- There was no way, the north gate was broken, and the two mages guarding the rune defense array were also affected, and they had to join the battle, so they hadn't been able to repair the defense array at this time. Trying to rely on a large barrier to defend against artillery fire had come to naught, and he had to rely on himself.

In any case, he couldn't let Koster be destroyed by artillery fire.

Benjamin instantly turned on the Advent of Water, summoned the water elemental spirit, and skillfully traced the string of runes with his fingers.

"Elemental Command: Defense!"

The Holy Light cannonballs didn't fly fast, but it was too short for a city that was about to be destroyed. Benjamin had no time to care about anything else, he was bent on manipulating the water element he could command, and the few remaining water element crystals in his pocket were also taken out by him, and he crushed them and threw them out as if he didn't want money......

In the rush of time, he racked his brains and used all the means he could think of to construct the most powerful barrier possible over Koster.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a huge wave of magic power behind him.

Benjamin looked back, only to see a myriad of familiar faces. Joanna, Frank, Morris, a student whose name he doesn't remember but often greets him at the academy, Tony, the proprietress of a textile shop who has long since turned a production mage...... Probably all the mages of Kost flew up at some point. Runes flashed in their eyes, and the elements of each system intertwined and converged like rivers pouring into the ocean, converging towards the sky above Koster.

Everyone was casting spells, condensing a barrier to block the path of the Holy Light cannonballs. The pieces of barriers were spliced together, and Benjamin's barrier was quickly assembled into a spectacular barrier that spanned the entire city, like a magnificent curtain full of patches.

In the distance, Grant, who was retreating, turned his head and saw this scene, his eyes changed. He was silent for a moment, then finally let out a cold snort.

"Hmph...... A bunch of fools. ”

At the same time, Benjamin turned around and looked at the group of mages behind him in amazement.

"You ......"

"What's the point of letting you get out of the limelight?" Morris sat in a floating wheelchair, staring intently at the flying cannonballs like everyone else, and smiled as he cast spells, "We want to be heroes, too." ”

Benjamin couldn't help but laugh.

These people......

In fact, no matter how terrible this round of bombardment was, he could escape by relying on the state of nothingness, and the addition of mages only made him feel pressured suddenly. He had to stop all of them, or all the mages would be wiped out here, and no one would survive but him.

However, instead of a trace of blame rising in his heart, he seemed to have more power.

If you think about it, if you are forced into a state of nothingness, it means that Kost will inevitably be destroyed under the fire. That...... What's the difference with failure?

He...... Oh no, they don't accept defeat.

"Artillery battalion! Shoot me back fiercely! They don't want to give me a good time!"

Before the Holy Light cannonball could bombard, Benjamin turned his head and shouted at his own artillery battalion with a loud voice. And the next second, before he could see the Holy Light cannonballs rising from the central square, the more than sixty cannonballs from the church directly hit the barrier they had constructed.

Boom ——!

The distance was extremely close, and there was no barrier, and this time they felt the power of the Holy Light cannonball more truly. A large amount of light elemental collapsed inward, and then burst out violently in an instant, and its burst of heat and impact had surpassed the legendary forbidden spell. The light was so dazzling that even if they wore sunglasses, they could only close their eyes and turn their heads vigorously, and no one could see the scene of the two colliding.

And when that power spread out over the enchantment, a sharp stinging pain erupted in every mage's brain, as if someone had pierced the back of the head, and the pain in the heart made many people almost fall from the air, and some even spilled a lot of blood from their nostrils and ears in an instant.

But...... The huge spiritual power was still intertwined, surging forward, surging towards their enchantment, never broken.

Below, the citizens of Koster have come out of their homes. From the street to the end of the street, from adults to children...... The streets of the city have never been so lively for a few days. In the bright night, they leaned together one by one, all squinting their eyes and looking up at the sky, fear, nervousness and despair, and the expressions of that moment were more complicated than words could describe.

In addition, six Holy Light cannonballs were lifted into the air from the central square, flying lower and slowly falling towards the retreating Kingdom army - if Benjamin and the others failed to block the shelling, it would be the last roar of the city before dying.

"...... If you want to die, you won't live in peace. ”

In the kingdom army, General Presie retreated with him, and when he looked back and saw this scene, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. However, seeing that the cannonballs were getting closer and closer, he panicked in his heart, and just rode his horse and followed closely behind the retreating priest team.

With His Majesty the Pope here, how could this cannonball hurt them?

Sure enough, as the cannonball approached, Grant flew up from the crowd. Countless priests gathered the holy light and poured towards him, and he only tapped a few times towards the cannonball, and the six runes slowly floated past, and with a bang, the cannonball just exploded, and then gradually disappeared into invisibility.

"His Majesty the Pope is amazing! Those mages who don't know whether they are alive or dead, are they all okay now? Not all of them have gone to hell. Preece hurriedly clapped the horses loudly.

Grant, however, floated in the air as if he hadn't heard, staring intently in Koster's direction.

Seeing this, Pres was also stunned, and then turned his head.

I saw that on the coast, Koster was intact. The majestic barrier blocked the sky above the city, and it looked a little dilapidated at the moment. And under that colorful barrier, the number of mages is dense...... As much as before being shelled.
