Chapter 35: The Fall of the Adjudicator (7)
The streets inside the city gates were filled with all the heavy cavalry that could mount and fight, even many retired knights. Many of them still hold knighthoods, but they are ready to fight for honor and for survival!
Catherine ran down the gates, and immediately someone brought her a warhorse. She flew up to her horse and commanded loudly, "Keep in formation! Follow me, and be ready to charge!"
Dozens of defenders lifted the heavy iron bolts that held the gates of the city. As soon as she gave the order, these heavy cavalry would be like a rushing iron stream, crushing everything that dared to stand in their way!
The wild people at the foot of the mountain have begun to shout, their eyes blood-red, eager to try, and their hearts full of bloodthirst!
"Lord York, Lord Kenloe, don't attack your troops yet!" Hart hurried over.
"Why? We always only know offense, offense, offense! We never defend!" Kenloe roared.
"Powerful shots are about to take place in the castle!
"Alright!" Kenloe nodded, "Let me see what Erathia is capable of!" He whistled, and the orcs in the army immediately rushed out of the ranks, dangling their dazzling axes in their hands. And the tall and mighty cyclops was already at his feet ready to throw huge rocks.
On the city walls, Sea's face was pale, but he still held on.
The Nobel High Priest has stopped walking around anxiously. Sweating profusely, he nervously estimated the distance the enemy was traveling, predicted the advance, and shouted loudly: "Steady! Steady! Obey my orders!"
Queen Saiya walked over and snatched a torch from a shaman's hand.
"Her Majesty ......"
"Your Excellency High Priest, I beg you to let me fire the first shot of this battle!"
“...... But you have to be mentally prepared, so many cannons are fired together, the sound is very loud, and it can even deafen people's ears! Please keep your mouth open, so that you can make sure that the sound does not hurt your eardrums!"
"Thank you!"
"Attention all gunners: use all the shells around you as quickly as possible, for the cavalry and infantry will charge at the beginning of the bombardment, and you won't have a lot of time!" commanded the High Priest in a loud voice.
In the wilderness, the Death Adjudicator led the army of the undead faster and faster, almost starting to trot!
They are about to enter the danger zone of trebuchet shooting. They must hurry and fight for hand-to-hand combat with the defenders at the foot of the mountain, or they will suffer massive casualties in the wilderness! Not to mention the fact that the Iron Fist Castle is so high that they must push the ranged trebuchets and the Witch King's forces close enough to be able to shoot with their heads up!
"You can go!" Nobel High Priest nodded at Queen Thea.
Seya stretched the torch to the swarthy barrel. At the end of the barrel there was an exposed lead, which flew and burned as soon as it was clicked!
"Ignition!" The Nobel High Priest waited until Seya had lit the first fuse with his own hands before issuing orders to the other gunners!
The trebuchet positions in the city have begun to shoot, and dozens of fireballs are whistling towards the wilderness!
But that whistling sound was nothing compared to the sound of the cannons! Just as the fireball fired by the trebuchet rose into the air, the cannon lit by Seya's own hand had already spewed out its first flames, and a deafening loud sound immediately resounded over the entire Iron Fist Castle!
Immediately after, the other dozens of cannons also erupted one after another, and the entire earth immediately trembled violently!
The Death Judge led the army of the undead to press down and began to run wildly towards the opposite side!
In the sky, the huge ghost dragon flapped its blue bone wings and began to fly towards the castle!
As soon as the first shell hit the ground, a huge fireball was immediately raised! Immediately after, everything around it was ignited, and the entire wilderness exploded earth-shattering!
Dirt and gravel flew everywhere, even splashing far away to the castle on the top of the hill, like a rain of mud and stones!
Almost all the glass in the castle has been shattered, and countless dust has fallen from the eaves!
Everyone was stunned! What a fireball it had to be?! It rolled a huge black and red mushroom cloud that spread rapidly towards the sky, blocking the rising sun and almost engulfing the entire sky!
The wilderness around the fireball has turned into a huge sea of fire, and there is no edge in sight!
The Nobel High Priest was also stunned! He had buried countless black powder in that wilderness, and now it seems that he had buried too much!
The bloodthirsty and aggressive savages opened their mouths wide and were so shocked that they couldn't close them!
Cannons and trebuchets were still firing, and the army of the undead on the opposite side screamed and rushed in the fire, while the rest scattered and fled in the wilderness.
The gates opened, and a heavy cavalry rushed out of the castle, and the horn of the charge resounded throughout the sky!
"Rush!" The coalition forces at the foot of the mountain also began to attack!
At the top of the mountain, thousands of royal griffons flapped their wings and began to pounce on the swept ghostly dragons! Although they had to use dozens of squares to defeat a ghostly dragon, and although their corpses would fall from mid-air from time to time, the brave royal griffons were not deterred! They became more and more courageous, because above the castle, they were supported by countless ballistas, archers, and monks!
All the women and children in the castle walked out of the door with a big smile on their faces!
How long do more than 100,000 pigs have to be killed? Not to mention pigs fleeing in embarrassment and over-frightened?!
It wasn't until sunset that the battlefield finally fell silent.
The fire is still burning. Wolf smoke was raging, and the air was filled with the stench of burning. The field was littered with fragments of the corpses of the undead, as well as the frozen bodies of warriors.
Seya was still on the city walls.
Her mind went blank. All she could remember was when the huge fireball was rising, dirt, rocks, and the body of the Death Adjudicator rose into the air......... Then he fell like a fallen leaf into the vast sea of fire!
She had no more tears, and her tears had long since been dried by the huge fireball!
"Oh my God, Saiya, you must go back to the palace immediately!" the Queen Mother suddenly exclaimed.
Following her gaze, Laurel was now in a puddle of blood at Seya's feet. Oh my God! What's going on?
"Carry her off the wall, and call the Imperial Doctor to come at once!" Laurel was still conscious. She immediately grabbed Seya and commanded loudly.
The group hurried down the streets, and the people of the city automatically gave way to the sides of the road, watching their weak but determined queen with awe.
"Mother, will my child be all right?" said Seya's voice, which was very weak.
"No, the gods of heaven will bless you...... And your children!" the Queen Mother kept comforting.
The fighters began to clean up the battlefield. They searched for the survivors of the battlefield and gathered together the remains of all the warriors who had died in battle. When they encounter an undead soul who has had their legs blown off and is lying half-dead on the ground and wriggling, they will not hesitate to make up for it.
Is that dreaded death adjudicator finally dead?
Since the devastating Explosion, no one has seen him again, not even his remains.
But no one can survive the terrifying power.
Yoland, McLind, York, and Kenloe finally agree to lead their heroes into the city. The welcome ceremony was unprecedented, but almost all of the people of Yolande were dejected.
Among his subordinates, many of them are brothers who fought side by side with Gu Shiyu the Chosen One in the Lost Lands. Together, they run a daily necessities company that makes money, get drunk together, stumble and sing loudly on the streets together, swim bare-bottomed together, fight together, and fight together......
They all came to Gu Shiyu, all to rescue him! But not only did their rescue plan come to naught, but he beat him to the ground!
To this day, until the former best friends, the Death Judges of the present day are burned to ashes in the flames, but they do not feel any joy of victory.
Gabriel and Lucifer were even more dead-faced, like mourners.
Brother Gu Zi used to be their idol, but this idol is now gone...... Who should they talk to about any problems or troubles they encounter in the future?
Tanan and Renesa are not there. When the city of Shiyan fell, they led a small group of elven troops to break out of the siege, and they did not know where they went.
Old Christine's face was blackened with gunsmoke, but he didn't care, just drank glass after glass. His son, Hart, silently accompanies him.
Seya did not appear at the welcoming ceremony. Her sister Catherine was her plenipotentiary and was responsible for receiving this group of distinguished guests.
York walked up to Catherine and whispered, "Please mourn ......"
"Thank you, York!" Catherine's face remained pale, "Ever since he was captured by the Grim Reaper Bellerion, I've considered such an outcome...... But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly......"
"He's a respectable man, at least he was!" York nodded. He faced the full hall of VIPs, raised his glass and invited: "To our former good friend Gu Zi!
"To our former good friend Gu Zi!
Yolande gulped down the glass and then crawled on the table and cried.
Kenloe finally showed up. As soon as the battle was over, he ran up the city wall and marveled at the big hot iron chimneys.
"Let's toast to victory!" Kenloe held up a second glass of wine in his hand.
"Cheers to victory!" rang out in the hall with the sound of wine glasses clattering.
"Your Royal Highness, please allow me to express my sincere respect to you!" Kenloe walked up to Princess Catherine's side and raised his glass to invite, "Under your wise leadership, our allies have finally achieved a great victory!"
"You're overrated!" Catherine said modestly, "I didn't lead you, we just fought side by side together!
"I don't think it makes a difference!" Kenloe grinned, "You're all amazing women in the House of Ironfast, and I'm honored to have allies like you! You know, I've been in the Lost Lands too, and I've heard of your name for a long time!"
"I also know your name!" Catherine said politely, "You are the best in the Thieves' Guild in Sauron, and many heroes of the Undead Clan and the Demon Clan who came to cultivate in the Lost Lands have been violently beaten by you!"
"That's what they owe!" Kenloe grinned, "But Your Highness, as your loyal ally, I would like to make a reluctant request, and I hope you will agree." ”
"Say it......"
"I hope you'll give me some big chimneys for our sake! That's a terrible thing! Of course, I'll tell my children and grandchildren that they will never be against Erathia!"
"You're not asking too much!" Catherine smiled, "Before leaving, I will give each ally a few large chimneys, hoping that it will become a symbol of our friendship and defeat the evil enemy together!"
"You're so generous!" said Kenloe, who had received what he wanted most, and was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
In the depths of the palace, the imperial physician wiped his sweat and walked out of Queen Saiya's bedroom exhausted. The Queen Mother and Laurel were waiting at the door.
"Your Majesty!" the Imperial Physician bowed and saluted, "Her Majesty and the fetus in her womb are safe and sound, please rest assured!"
"Thank you!" the Queen Mother and Laurel replied.
Laurel watched the Imperial Doctor disappear into the corridor and whispered to the Queen Mother, "What's wrong with you?
"Yes...... I think this is the moral of God, and I would rather this fetus die than see it born safely!"
"I don't understand......" Laurel said in surprise.
"Laurel, you should understand!" the Queen Mother whispered, "The Chosen One is dead, and Seya must find another husband! If she gives birth to another prince in the future, what do you say about this baby?"
"This baby was born to Seia and the Chosen One, and since the Chosen One has become an enemy of Erathia, his descendants cannot inherit the throne!"
"Yes...... But we all know that the Chosen One has many friends who are loyal to him, and they may support the baby and thus threaten the position of the rightful prince!"
"Your concerns are right. If he can learn to be a man, like Leo who died in battle, then maybe he can still have a place. ”
"The three brothers, Leo, Geffenhardt, and Kendall, were still alive at the time, and Leo was smart enough to give up the throne, but the situation is very different now!"
Laurel began to sigh as well. Speaking of which, she thought of her daughter Catherine again! yes, what should she do with the child in her womb?
"I won't sit idly by and watch this happen!" the Queen Mother suddenly gritted her teeth.
"Oh my God, don't be stupid!" Laurel exclaimed, "We've all been mothers, and if Saya knew you did something wrong, she would hate you for the rest of her life!"
"Yes, she will definitely hate me for the rest of my life, but I am also doing this for my own children and for the benefit of the entire Ironfast family!"
"You wait, I hope she'll give birth to a girl......" Thinking that Catherine might have this problem too, Laurel was almost on the verge of breaking down.
