Chapter 544
The wanton flames burned arrogantly on the city wall, although the city wall was originally made of non-combustible masonry, but in the absolute heat, even the strongest masonry was burned to the scorched earth, and the entire city wall seemed to be plunged into a sea of fire, into a scorching red world.
The surface of the masonry has long been burned to a black powder, and a light touch of your fingers can whisk up a large amount of dust. The city bricks, which are difficult for an adult to smash with a weapon, are as fragile as tofu at this time.
When Shenghui City was built, because the surrounding mineral deposits were rich and the mining industry was extremely developed, the center of the stone bricks used to build the city wall was mixed with some slag, so the city wall was not directly burned by the monstrous fire.
However, even such a strong city wall could not hold out for long at this time. Every once in a while, a large number of fireballs blasted towards the towering walls of the Holy Radiance City like dense arrows. If it weren't for the fact that Grievous the Great personally led his guards and attendants to the city wall to supervise the battle, the soldiers defending the city would have been frightened, but even if His Majesty personally supervised the battle, it would not have saved the declining morale and the imminent collapse of the battle.
After all, His Majesty's order could not stop the attack of the northern army mages, nor could it make those powerful fireballs disappear out of thin air.
The current walls of Shenghui City are full of holes and crumbling, just like the royal power of this violet royal family.
"Damn! Where did the Northern Army get so many mages! General Crawford scolded in frustration as he looked at the mole-like soldiers lying on the ground, hiding behind the stacks of arrows, shivering under the bombardment of the fireball.
The medal he wore on his body showed the veteran's great achievements. But even if he has won many battles, he can't come up with any way to turn the tide of the battle at this time. In fact, he had never fought such a battle in his life, and he hadn't even seen much of the enemy's figure, just by being constantly attacked by so many mages of the Northern Army with magic, the entire defense of Shenghui City was about to fall.
Suddenly, a scream came from above, and a terrible scream came from the city wall: "It's a big fireball! It's a big fireball! Stop it!"
General Crawford looked up and saw a flash of fire in the sky, and his tail dragged a long smoke straight towards the city walls!
In fact, General Crawford once privately consulted the mages of the court magic group, which is one of the mixed magic of fire magic and earth magic, the famous "meteorite technique". The mage was so complicated that the warriors couldn't understand it, so they called it the Great Fireball, which corresponded to the normal fireball magic.
"Mage, stop it!", shouted General Crawford. When he was unprepared at first, a meteorite smashed into the city wall, causing great damage. Not to mention the direct explosion of a big pit, the affected soldiers are not even boneless, and there is not even a bit of ash left. Therefore, after the court magic group of the Violet royal family assisted in defending the city, they were responsible for intercepting these meteorite techniques one by one.
As soon as General Crawford's words fell, a water dragon appeared out of thin air in the air and soared into the sky! The water dragon was directly facing the falling meteorite, from top to bottom was the power of fire that burned everything and burned everything, and from the bottom up was the power of water that was both rigid and soft, and good at overcoming fire. The two powerful forces of fire and water collided fiercely in the air, making a deafening screech, followed by a loud bang. The meteorite exploded directly in the air, and its light was as bright as the sun in the sky, and the powerful light pierced people's eyes.
Then a thin layer of mist shrouded in the sky, and the clear sky of early spring was like a shy girl out of the pavilion, covered with a thin veil, faint, hazy. This is the anomaly of the water dragon just now, whose abundant water is directly vaporized by the huge heat.
"Which mage is this? General Crawford looked back, was startled, and fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, you are here. ”
"General Crawford is in armor, so there is no need to be polite. It was Grievous the Great, but he didn't bring those ministers and guards with him, but three seemingly ordinary men by his side.
Among these three people, there are two Crawford generals who recognize him, one of them is the former Patriarch of the Holy Church, the Archbishop of Lisbon, who was in the limelight in the Holy Radiance City some time ago, and of course he should be called Lord Lisbon now.
In that public court that year, it was the sudden backlash of the Patriarch of Lisbon who gave a crucial testimony, which led to the defeat of the Holy Church, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this man is the culprit of the entire Holy Church. Let's just say that the remnants of the Holy Sect in the Holy Radiance City have planned a number of assassinations and want to assassinate Lisbon, a traitor. However, because Lisbon itself is one of the best masters in the Holy Church, powerful and equipped with strong guards, these assassinations have all failed without exception.
The other person was a big surprise to General Crawford, it was the Duke of Mortier, who was originally in the city of Shenghui, but then suddenly announced his retirement and never asked about the world again.
"Isn't this man already closed-door, why is he following His Majesty again?, secretly saying that His Majesty intends to get back to him?", General Crawford thought to himself. "Even this kind of person who was originally out of power has to be reused, it seems that there is really no one around His Majesty. ”
As for the other old man who looked the oldest, General Crawford didn't recognize it at all, but the one who accompanied the Emperor at this time must be the Emperor's most trusted confidant.
"Was the magic that intercepted the meteorite just now released by His Majesty? ", General Crawford stood up and said complimentarily.
With the defense of the city in the past few days, the most surprising thing for the soldiers guarding the city was that this supreme ruler of the kingdom of Saint Teresa would be a powerful mage! This is really too unexpected, this time Crawford saw that the Great Grievous did not follow the magic group, and he guessed that the magic just now was released by the Emperor himself.
"It's just a little trick to carve insects. The Emperor waved his hand and asked, "Is the city wall okay?"
"For the time being, it can hold on, but if the northern army continues to bombard like this, it will be trampled sooner or later. ", said General Crawford bitterly.
"There's General Lao, the magic group is researching, but we'll find a way to crack it in a few days. ", the Emperor comforted.
After going around the city and comforting the soldiers defending the city, the emperor led the three men down the city wall. As soon as he stepped off the city wall, Grievous the Great's face changed, and he was extremely gloomy, and he no longer had the confidence and affinity he had just shown.
"It seems that this Holy Radiance City can't hold it. He said to the three.
