Chapter 894: You Shoot Me Shot
Before the cannonballs could fall, Benjamin led two teams of water mages to the air and shot together. They didn't have much time, so they could only do their best to condense thousands of layers of ice mirrors on the rune defense array.
However, the moment the layers of ice mirrors were formed, the Holy Light cannonball exploded directly!
At that moment, the holy light burst out, condensed as if it had a physical substance, and in an instant, it burned through the ice mirror that stood in front of it. Then, the tsunami-like holy light slanted down and slapped fiercely on the rune defense array, and suddenly, a deafening humming sound resounded throughout the city!
The bright light was dazzling, and even the Kingdom Army outside the city had to close their eyes, and the city was even more chaotic. Benjamin and the mages hurriedly put on their sunglasses, barely able to see clearly.
"Like...... Blocked?"
Benjamin frowned, holding his breath as he carefully looked at the place where the rune defense array met with the holy light.
The moment the holy light burst in, the barrier trembled violently, and the contact surface was extremely distorted, like a crumpled iron plate. Several cracks gradually spread under the strong impact force, and the more they climbed, the more they climbed...... However, when the barrier reaches a certain point of endurance, the power of the cannonballs suddenly begins to become weaker. Little by little, the holy light began to dissipate, and the self-healing ability of the rune defense array regained the upper hand.
The free elements that wandered around them, inspired by the runes, continued to pour into the enchantment, quickly curbing the spread of the rift.
When the other mages saw this scene, they couldn't help but show some surprise.
"You can't stop the judgment of the gods!" But just then, Grant's voice came from higher in the sky.
Accompanied by a huge spiritual force, the holy light that had a tendency to dissipate suddenly condensed again, like a big hand emerging out of thin air, suddenly crumpling the scattered mud into a ball and pressing it tightly on the barrier. Immediately after, the holy light, along with the barrier, trembled violently, emitting a shrill humming sound.
The next moment, boom!
An astonishing explosion appeared in the sky, like a grand fireflower, and the barrier was shattered on the spot. The six elements were grouped into colorful fragments and splashed uncontrollably, covering almost the entire sky over the city. At that moment, the night was no longer night, and when people looked up, it was as if they saw an abstract painting with strange colors.
Fortunately, the location of the explosion was extremely high, and the aftermath did not hit the city below, but only shook Benjamin and the other mages flying in the sky.
"Abominable ......"
With a distance of several hundred meters and a splash of elemental fragments, Benjamin clenched his fists hard. As he fell, he stared at Grant, who was also shaken away by the aftermath, and the sound of the whistling wind poured in his ears, like a knife scraping back and forth against a stone wall.
Grant was looking at him as well, but his expression looked calm.
Their gaze lasted about two and a half seconds. Grant's face remained unchanged like a statue, but Benjamin's expression changed again and again. However, in the last moment, he suddenly put away all his expressions, from anger to indifference, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a somewhat mocking sneer.
In the next second, he waved his hand vigorously!
"Fire!"
As he spoke, the square in the center of Koster suddenly lit up with a white light. Immediately after, six Holy Light cannonballs slowly rose from there, once again drawing several graceful arcs across the night.
Grant's indifferent expression finally changed.
It all happened so suddenly, six cannonballs flew by, brushed a piece of the sky above him, and then fell straight into the charging ranks of the Kingdom Army. At that moment, six shells bloomed in the formation like six lotus flowers. The dazzling holy light swelled rapidly, and the soldiers did not have time to flee before they were instantly engulfed in, and heart-rending screams resounded throughout the sky.
- In the blink of an eye, the Kingdom Army lost thousands of soldiers.
And it wasn't until the shell exploded completely that Grant reacted. As he quickly retreated, he reached down a little, and several runes flashed through his fingertips. Then, as if restricted by some kind of force, the expanding holy light came to a screeching halt, and then began to slowly dissipate......
This move saved thousands of soldiers, but even so, the six terrifying pits on the ground made the faces of the people of the church extremely ugly.
Grant turned his head and looked in Koster's direction.
The emotion in his eyes flashed, and he suppressed his anger, and suddenly spoke, shouting loudly:
"Keep attacking!"
At this moment, the rune defense array was destroyed, and the entire city was finally exposed. The bombardment just now made the royal army a little distracted, but the cavalry that rushed to the front was not affected, and at this moment they had rushed directly to the north gate and attacked the closed gate. When the follow-up troops heard the order, they immediately rushed forward.
Ladders, huge wooden stakes...... All the battering weapons they could use were brought out. They bypassed the six deep pits that had been blown out of the ground and came over in dense clusters, like a swarm of man-eating ants that had begun to hunt.
Benjamin didn't panic - the moment the rune defense array was broken, he knew that there would be such a situation. At that moment, he flew all the way down, waved his hand vigorously at the crowded army of the Black Nightmare Army, and roared loudly: "Start a counterattack! Defend the city gate!"
The battle officially heats up at this moment.
The soldiers of the Black Nightmare have been waiting for a long time, rolling stones, boiling water, and a rain of arrows...... It was like a torrential rain that instantly fell on the heads of the kingdom's army. In order to attack the city, the royal army near the city gate was all huddled together, and even if they were wearing tight armor, they were quite suppressed. As soon as the ladder was erected, it was kicked up, and the wooden stake hit the city gate, and it was also blocked by the people and sandbags behind the city gate, and it could not be opened at all.
Many of the kingdom's troops died directly under the rain of arrows, but soon, more soldiers rushed up, stepping on their corpses higher and higher, and approaching the defenders on the city wall little by little.
A large number of priests and mages fought over the city gates.
On one side was a uniform procession, with the holy light flowing through everyone's hands, converging into a huge phantom, and on the other side was a scattered formation, where the mages of each department cooperated with each other to form small groups, and overwhelming magic gushed out from their hands like a long river of colors.
The Holy Light Phantom collided with the torrent of magic, and after a brief stalemate, the Holy Light gained the upper hand.
"Everyone, disperse!
When the torrent of magic was exhausted, the Holy Light Phantom turned into hundreds of Holy Light Bullets and flew towards them. Seeing this, Joanna immediately shouted so loudly. With her words, the mage's already scattered formation instantly dispersed, dodging the surging holy light bullets, and then scattered in all angles, turning their heads and rushing straight towards the priest's team!
The sky above the North City Gate became extremely chaotic at this moment.
