Chapter 756: The Bombardment of the Holy Light Cannon
In any case, the Kingdom of Horry does not have the hundreds of Holy Light Cannons as exaggerated as rumored, which is good news. Benjamin's mood was also much calmer, he took a deep breath and began to cast spells.
Not only him, but hundreds of mages on the city all started casting spells at the same time, condensing more magic shields and attaching them to the back of the rune defense array, just in case.
"Those things you prepared...... Can't you start fighting back now?" asked Benjamin, turning his head as he condensed the frost.
"It's not enough distance, they have to get a little closer, and the falling rocks we have prepared will be effective. The president was also concentrating on building protective magic, he replied.
Benjamin sighed.
Locke City is located at the top of the uphill slope and is a fairly favorable terrain to defend. And the Horry Kingdom seems to be planning to go on the offensive, and it would be a little uncomfortable for them to retreat here to defend.
Just like now, it seems that they can only wait for the enemy to open fire, like suspects waiting for an unknown verdict, in case the rune defense array can't stop the attack of the Holy Light cannon, they may even be taken away by a wave!
However, they can't do much but defend......
"Lord Dean, it's not good, those people down there are all making trouble, let us open the defense array and let them go. Suddenly, several mages who were in charge of controlling the formation flew up and whispered.
"Thinking about getting out of town now, it's impossible. Ignore them. Benjamin said without hesitation.
"But...... There are also some government officials in there, whose status is not low, and they have a lot of soldiers under their command, so we can't let them make trouble there. ”
Benjamin's brow furrowed when he heard this.
These guys...... What else do you know besides dragging your feet?
After thinking about it, he turned around and flew down the city. There are enough mages to help defend it, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't have one, but if the situation in the city gets messed up, things will become very troublesome.
He flew towards the crowd gathered near the city gates.
“...... We can't stay here, the cannon hits and there's nothing! The mages want us to die with them, but why should we die here with them? The church is here for them, not for us......"
As soon as he got closer, Benjamin heard something like that, not small, like a speech, and it sounded inflammatory.
His face suddenly sank.
"Adults, didn't I promise to guarantee your safety, and now I want to leave the city in a hurry, what do you mean?
Falling from the sky, Benjamin's voice was as cold as a gust of wind, which made several officials present stunned.
Needless to say, the officials present happened to be the most powerful ones of the main and faction. At that moment, they turned their heads and found that it was actually the owner who spoke badly, and their expressions couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
After a moment of stunned, an official coughed a few times and walked over with a smile: "No...... Your Excellency, you have misunderstood, we just think that it is useless to stay here, so can we help you? Why don't we go back to Regina, and we can also help stabilize the people's hearts. ”
"Stabilize the people's hearts, I think, you are disturbing the people's hearts, right?" Benjamin let out a cold snort, turned his head, and said to the crowd around him, "Don't panic, everyone, as the dean of the Academy of Magic, I'm willing to give my life and stand here with you." Do you think those ghost cannons are really that easy to blast in?"
"Rock City...... Is it really not going to be lost?", someone in the crowd asked hesitantly.
"Of course not. Benjamin replied without hesitation, "If it is lost, I will be the first to die, and you say that Rock City will be lost?"
In fact, he was also very uncertain in his heart, but at this moment, he couldn't show a little hesitation.
"You...... But you're a mage after all, and you have so many means to protect yourself. The official suddenly said, "You can fly away with a flick of your hand, but once the city is broken, we are ordinary people, what can we do?"
Benjamin did not argue with him, but said in a bland but unquestioning tone: "Rock City will not be broken. ”
"So many Holy Light cannons!
"Of course, I said, Rock City will not be broken. ”
"Why are you so confident......
The expressions of those officials became a little anxious, as if their confidence had become lower after witnessing the might of the enemy army, and they just wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. The instinct to survive caused them to abandon their fear of Benjamin, and the words became more and more sharp.
However, at this moment, there was a loud bang in the clear sky!
Rumble!
Everyone turned around in astonishment.
Before they could realize what was happening, a series of extremely dense loud noises followed. It was as if a thunderstorm had sounded in the sky, and countless roars were stacked on top of each other, almost deafening their ears.
The officials froze in place, their hands and feet cold.
"End...... It's over, they fired...... They fired!"
Realizing what was going on, their faces were full of regret.
The march of the Kingdom of Hori was so fast that they planned to evacuate before the army appeared, but they didn't estimate the time, and now they will be buried under the fire of the church along with Locke City!
Looking up, they could see that dozens of small dots of light suddenly rose in the sky. From a distance, they are small and bright...... It is also extremely conspicuous in the sun, like dozens of sparkling diamonds.
The points of light rose from the enemy's position, drew a graceful parabola in the air, and soon began to fall towards Rock City.
And the volume of the light point is also constantly enlarged and magnified in people's eyes...... Until officials can confirm that each of the so-called "points of light" is as huge as a house.
A huge and dazzling ball of light, this is the greeting from the cannons of the Holy Light.
Ikor had also owned the Holy Light Cannon before, and the officials knew very well how powerful this thing was.
They're going to die in this place......
Out of despair and fear, but also out of the fact that the Holy Light cannonball was really flashing and difficult to see, they closed their eyes vigorously, covered their heads, and lay on the ground all out of instinct and subconscious behavior, and at this moment, their minds were blank.
There may only be one sentence echoing.
I don't want to die...... I don't want to die...... I don't want to die......
And in this desperate process, the dense cannonballs of holy light in the sky also quickly descended on Rock City.
Rumble!
At that moment, it was as if time stood still, and the heartbeat of the whole city missed a beat. Immediately after, a dazzling light bloomed, and even if they closed their eyes and turned their heads to the ground, they could feel their eyelids being reflected red, as if the whole city was plunged into a terrible bright light!
Officials feel like hell.
They even suspect that if they hadn't had time to close their eyes, they might have been blind.
Because of this, the fear in their hearts became more and more intense, and they buried their heads harder like ostriches, trembling all over, and their brains went blank. It seems that they would rather bury their heads and close their eyes like this for the rest of their lives than open their eyes and face the cruel reality.
They lost all sense of time because of fear, and they didn't know how long it had passed, and they didn't dare to think about it......
Until Benjamin's voice woke them up.
"Look, I've said it a long time ago, Rock City is not going to be broken. ”
