Chapter 776: Assault on Regina
From Rock City to Regina, it's not that far. It took only two days or so for Ikor's army to descend on the city and encircle the entire city.
"When are we going to attack?"
After encamping outside the city, Benjamin asked as he glanced at Regina's closed door.
"Tomorrow morning. "We have made contact with the people of the city, and when the time comes, they will secretly open the gate for them." The large army of the Hori Kingdom has not yet bypassed, and there are only a few hundred people in the city now, and they will definitely not be able to stop us. ”
Benjamin nodded his head as well.
It is also a good thing for them to have the support of the people.
As for the preparation of the "Light Slayer", in just a few days, they can not do much. Everyone had learned about Grant's methods, and they had a simple practice of cooperating with each other, but other than that, it was up to them to play on the spot.
However, Benjamin is still more confident.
The disparity in numbers is too great, and the soldiers of the Hori Kingdom are only a few hundred, not even a fraction of them. The so-called "Lightkillers" are not really trying to kill Grant, they only need to drag him for a while before they can recapture Regina.
When the time comes, Grant will be outnumbered, and no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to rise to power.
Benjamin thought so, took a deep breath, turned and returned to his tent, making final preparations for tomorrow's battle.
And on the walls of Regina, at the same time.
“...... It came pretty quickly. ”
Grant glanced at the army below from a distance and muttered to himself.
"Your Majesty, this ...... Do you really intend to defend the city?, as you see, our artillery has been seized by them......," General Preese hesitated as he followed.
"Are you scared?" said Grant, turning his head impatiently.
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. General Preese hurriedly explained, "I ...... I just think it's a bit of a pity. If you keep the disfigured queen behind, maybe you'll still have the capital to negotiate with them at this time. ”
"The souls of sin are bound to be cleansed, and I have no interest in negotiating with them. ”
With that, Grant turned and left the wall. General Preece was also too frightened to ramble any longer, and waited with his head down for several minutes, until Grant's figure completely disappeared, and then dared to gradually raise his head.
He glanced in the direction where Grant had disappeared, and then looked at Ikor's army outside the city, and couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment.
Early the next morning.
"It's time. ”
Ikor's 50,000-strong army, mighty, was already neatly lined up outside the city of Regina. More than a thousand mages waited on the side of the army, and with the city gate opened, they planned to use flying magic to cross the city walls and go straight to the palace of Regina.
And the twelve "Light Killers" led by Benjamin were also mixed in the group of mages, waiting for an opportunity to move.
As for Regina, there were hardly any soldiers guarding the city walls, let alone Grant's shadow. The whole city seems to have not come out of the night's sleep, and it is unspeakably quiet.
It's just that the news received from the people in the city - the Kingdom of Hori does not intend to abandon the defense, but has forcibly recruited a lot of people, barely forming an army, and should hide behind the city walls at this moment, ready to meet their attack.
Of course, this kind of blindly constructed army can't talk about any combat effectiveness, and his heart is full of hatred for the Hori Kingdom. Therefore, some of them will directly turn against the water this morning and help Ikor's army open the city gates.
- They agreed on a code.
And now...... It's time.
The president flew at the forefront of the entire army, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and a shining flame was born. With a flick of his hand, the flames rose into the sky, then exploded like fireworks under a clear sky.
With dazzling sparks spreading in the sky, there was finally a commotion in the city of Regina. Immediately after, the locked door suddenly shuddered.
It was as if something was hitting that door from behind.
Seeing this, the president frowned. To be honest, he didn't know how many of them were in the city now, and whether they could really open the door under the supervision of the soldiers of the Horry Kingdom.
But...... Even if the internal response fails, they have prepared the siege tools they should have, and it will not be difficult for them to recapture Regina.
"Let's charge directly, let the mage fly over first, the little people in the city can't stop it. After waiting for a while, seeing that the gate was not opened, a general on the side asked.
The president nodded, and was about to give the order to charge, but unexpectedly, the city gate slowly opened at this moment.
The wide passage of the city gate of Regina, which had already revealed the chaos in the passage, was all revealed in front of the army of Ikor .
"Quick, come in! Someone of them has gone to inform the Pope, be careful, the Pope is now guarding the palace, and it seems that he has prepared a lot of firewood, probably trying to set it on fire!"
Several militiamen rushed out of the city in disarray, shouting hoarsely. Soon, however, several bullets of holy light flew out of the passage of the city gate, burning them to ashes.
The president's face suddenly sank.
"Kill——!"
However, the gates had been opened, and Ikor no longer needed his orders. The soldiers roared and rushed forward with their swords brandished. The mages flew into the air in an instant, like a large swarm of bees, directly passing over the head of the city of Regina.
"Grant is hiding near the palace, let's not make a move yet, wait for him to show up before we attack. Benjamin turned his head and said to the Lightkillers.
Miles, as the only non-divisional member of this team, had already entered the city with the charging soldiers at this moment, rushed to the vicinity of the palace, and waited for an opportunity to move.
The soldiers below rushed into the passage of the city gate and immediately engaged the enemy inside. It is true that the defenders of the Kingdom of Hori are very small, but there are quite a few priests, so it still causes some trouble for the Ikor army.
But...... Under the crowd tactics, those priests would definitely not last long.
Benjamin wasn't worried about that. They blended in with the mage's ranks, unhindered, and flew into Regina with great ease. There was a dead silence in the city, all the doors and windows of the houses were closed, and there was no point in them staying, so they flew directly to the palace in the distance.
However, at this moment, Benjamin subconsciously scanned the situation in the city with the water elemental sensing method.
His face changed suddenly.
"Be careful! there's an ambush in the city!"
Ignoring the considerations of hiding his identity, he spoke directly and shouted out in the group of mages. At that moment, the mages' expressions couldn't help but be stunned, and they quickly showed a vigilant look and stopped in mid-air.
On both sides of the dead street, a large group of people suddenly rushed out.
"Kill those guys!" General Preese shouted as he appeared among them. Among those people were ordinary soldiers of the Kingdom of Hori, knights, and even many priests.
Benjamin frowned deeply.
If it weren't for that habitual sweep, he wouldn't have noticed that there were tens of thousands of troops in ambush in the city of Regina.
These people ...... It turned out that it had arrived a long time ago!
