And that's the night.

The land of the kingdom, which should have been silent, trembled with the weight of the horse's hooves.

"It's Koster up ahead!"

The Bishop followed Grant for almost half the night, and at last, on the distant horizon, he saw the city shrouded in enchantment, and he couldn't help but shout. And Grant seemed to be relieved when he saw the faint light emitted by the rune defense array.

“...... They didn't withdraw. ”

The bishop immediately chimed in: "Yes, we are so fast, they don't have time to run!"

Behind them, there was a procession of priests who were still black, but they seemed to have been flying for too long, and everyone had a tired look on their faces. And below the entire air team, the cavalry units of the Kingdom Army followed all the way, and the sand and dust raised by the horses' hooves flew everywhere, like a diffuse mist, and under the cover, the red blood in their eyes seemed to be not so obvious.

As for the more Kingdom Army troops, because they can only rely on their legs, they have been thrown far away at the moment. The plan was for the vanguard to rush to Koster to prevent the Dark from escaping, and wait until the rear troops joined them before launching a general attack.

This kind of plan is actually a bit of a gamble, after all, their main combat strength, many Holy Light cannons, are in the rear troops. If the Black Nightmare army had to go out of the city to engage the vanguard troops, the kingdom army itself would suffer heavy losses. But...... There's no way, it's come to this, they can't bet if they don't bet.

"When will the fleet arrive?" asked Grant, turning his head.

"They're already trying to speed up, but ...... The wind is not good tonight, and the speed is really not fast. The bishop hesitated, then cautiously said, "In this case, they may not arrive until the middle of the night." ”

"The second half of the night...... Let's go in the middle of the night. ”

Soon, after some more rush, the vanguard led by Grant stopped at about 800 meters from Kost. Here they adjust their state and wait for the meeting of the large forces. And from this distance, even if the Black Nightmare Army intends to take this opportunity to fight or escape, they will have a chance to react.

The priests fell back to the ground, all the soldiers were out of breath, quite a few horses fell directly to the ground, and a few even died.

The bishop's mood immediately became tense. This was the point of their weakest time, and most of them were exhausted and had little ability to fight. And the rest of them who have the fighting power must be vigilant, and their eyes are fixed on the city under the cover of night.

- At this moment, Koster was very quiet, as if thousands of families were already asleep, and they did not know that the Kingdom Army had killed them.

The bishop's heart suddenly felt a little empty again.

According to the investigation, the rune defense array needs to be activated by the mage every once in a while, which is certain. However, just because the barrier is still on doesn't mean the Nightmare are still in the city, and they may have activated the runes one last time to confuse the outside world, and then left the barrier and the entire city here.

If that were the case, then their night's rush would be in vain.

"You...... And the two of you, go over and scout the situation to see how many people are still defending in Koster City. He hurriedly turned around and appointed a few priests who still had some spare strength as sentinels to confirm that the Black Nightmare were really still in the city.

The priests nodded and flew cautiously.

The bishop couldn't help but take a deep breath, and even folded his hands and closed his eyes, and prayed silently.

I saw that the priests flew to the vicinity of the Koster Gate, circled around the periphery of the barrier, and then turned around and flew back quickly.

"There are people in town. The one flying in front reported, "There are quite a few Black Nightmare troops on the city walls, and they are all vigilant. As soon as we got closer, they glared at us, and the mages were about to try to come up and attack, so we didn't dare to stay too long. ”

The bishop was relieved when he heard this.

In any case, it was enough that the Nightmare Army didn't run.

So, the vanguard of the Church waited here, slowly recovering physically and mentally, while the city of Koster was unusually quiet and motionless. About two hours later, with a tremor in the earth, a large force of the black-pressed Kingdom Army rushed over from the rear. Suddenly, the spirit of the church was lifted.

“...... Alright, surround Kost, and wait for the fleet to arrive and launch a general attack. ”

As soon as Grant gave the order, the kingdom's army rushed towards Koster, divided into three groups, and formed a blockade outside the three gates of the east, west, and north. As for the western exit to Koster, the dock, it was Grant himself who flew there with a group of priests and blocked it to prevent the enemy from escaping by sea.

The armies on all sides were quite powerful, and the priest flew directly from above the barrier, ready to support them, ensuring that each side far exceeded the strength of the Dire army.

However, when Grant flew high in the air, looking down, the unusually quiet Koster made him frown.

It's so quiet......

The streets of the city were all pitch black, there were no soldiers moving back and forth, and there were no panicked people fleeing, and it didn't look like a city about to fight. And if you look closely, the soldiers on the city wall seem to be quite sparse, sparse, and even can't form a whole team.

The church began to feel that something was wrong.

And at this moment, suddenly, there was a lot of movement in Koster City, and the priests flying in the sky were shocked. And from the perspective of the Kingdom Army, what you see is Koster's three city gates, all of which are open at this moment!

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

Through the wide open door, they could see that behind the gate, there seemed to be a multitude of chariot-like arrays. And the moment the city gate opened, those chariots suddenly started running, and there was no figure on them, but they didn't know how to be activated, and they accelerated towards the ranks of the kingdom army.

"This—This is ......"

The speed at which they burst out startled the Kingdom Army.

It's as if someone suddenly crashed open the stable, and a large number of frightened horses galloped out of it, and the speed was beyond the ability of ordinary people to react. And a moment before the chariot rushed over, the soldiers seemed to see...... The car is carrying a lump of red, moving things?

And the next second, the next they can't see anything.

Because, at the moment when the chariot rushed into the crowd, the surrounding fire elements suddenly moved violently. Immediately after, fat bodies jumped down from it and crashed headlong into the arms of nearby soldiers. At that moment, the people around could even smell a strange stench.

Then, there was a loud bang.

Rumble!

Outside the city on the east, west, and north sides, there was an astonishing loud noise. And from the perspective of the priests in the sky, it is as if three ceremonial flowers have bloomed on the ground, and they look extremely gorgeous in the dark night.
