A month later, when Artis and his army successfully arrived at Cecil, the city had long since been reduced to a battlefield. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the wild, large swaths of farmland were burned, and countless villages disappeared without a trace, all of which were relocated to the city by Nadir and others, who had been prepared for a long time. And under the city, a corpse lay quietly below, with a little crimson and bloody aura, looking a little depressing.

In the eyes of Artis, at this time, above Cecil City, a star was brightening, and a little bit of the world origin turned into a star, suppressing above Cecil City, making the already disadvantaged environment even more difficult.

Seeing this scene, Artis snorted coldly, and his heart moved, and although it was much weaker, it was also a bright star slowly rising here, merging with Cecil City, withstanding the original erosion and suppression of the other party.

However, despite this, as the two stars collided at close range, the source force began to boil here, and little by little it became glued, and began to appear to confront each other and suppress.

Suddenly, Artis felt a tightness in his chest, and a pressure suddenly invaded him, making him slightly uncomfortable.

It's just the pressure on the body. And on top of the true spirit's induction, at this moment, an opposing world force passed through the blockade and smashed down. But he fell into the disadvantage in the confrontation just now.

"Fortunately, although the personality is not as good as the other party, it is still an existence of the same level, so although it has fallen into the disadvantage, it will not be completely suppressed by the other party as before!" Artis stroked his chest, sensing the power of the world in the dark, and thought silently.

"Kercus, pass the news and ask Nadir to let us into the city!"

He looked at the closed gate in front of him.

・・・

On the other side, on the other side of the city of Cecil, a fierce siege was coming to an end.

Barrett, the king of Indeli, looked at the city wall in front of him that was gradually stained with a little red with blood, looked at the sky again, and said, "At this time, let our people withdraw and have a good rest!"

At this time, a knight outside walked in, saw Barrett, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, there is the latest news, the king of Artis, has arrived with an army, and he has entered the city at this time!"

"It's coming so fast!" Barrett couldn't help but frown when he heard the news.

Then he raised his head and looked at the tired soldier above: "It's a pity! If I had been given another five days, this great city would have been defeated, but now it would be much more troublesome." ”

"How many people did the other party bring!" he said calmly, his eyes flashing with thought.

Suddenly, the knight was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "The specific number of people is not known yet, but Gu has observed at least more than 10,000 people, but less than 20,000!"

"Less than twenty thousand?" Barrett muttered to himself, "then add the rest of the city, and that's almost twenty thousand." ”

Thinking of this, he sneered, with a deep tyranny in his eyes: "Then it's okay, I heard that the king of Yadixu is also here, this time, just catch them all together and solve them all at once!"

"How many of our men are left?"

Hearing his question, around, a nobleman in a ceremonial dress walked quietly, looked at his burly figure, and said silently: "After Your Majesty ordered the major lords to send troops, our strength has been increasing, but because of the continuous attrition of the city, it is barely maintained between 50,000 people!"

"But in terms of troops, we still have the advantage!"

"So, the other side is less than half as many as us?" Barrett said, looking at the city in the distance ahead.

"For now, so," the knight replied respectfully.

Barry nodded, "What about the others?"

Speaking of this, the knight's face was straight, and he was a little serious: "According to the news from the border, the other party seems to have been prepared for a long time, and has been arranged on the border early, blocking the coalition forces sent by those city-states that have surrendered to us!

"This bunch of trash!" Barrett sneered.

He looked up ahead, and the chiseled walls in the distance were reflected in his pupils.

"After the rest, send a team of knights up to see how the opposing army is doing!"

Then, as the order was given, a few hours later, near dusk, there was another sound from under the blood-soaked walls.

"Are you going to attack?" said Artis as he watched the knights below come out of the ranks, with warriors one by one, and said with a blank face.

"This time should be just a temptation!" said a tall and majestic man with torn armor behind him, his face bloody.

"Nadir, you have been guarding the city of Cecil for half a month and fighting the enemy army, in your opinion, how effective is the enemy?"

Artis turned around and looked at the man.

"Very strong!"

Nadir stepped forward, his face a little solemn: "In this half month, Cecil City has few troops, and the other party has continuously attacked fiercely, if Your Majesty comes half a month late, maybe it will be captured by the other party." ”

"The knights of the other side are powerful and numerous, and the defection of a large number of nobles makes it impossible for his army to lack knights at all, even the ordinary soldiers are carefully selected, even stronger than our carefully trained warriors!"

"It's just that the crossbow bolts are slightly weaker, compared to the original city-state, although the Duchy of Indeli has relatively well-made bows and crossbows, they are far superior to us, so they can slightly suppress the other party. ”

For this, Artis nodded: "This time, I specially brought a large number of arrows and weapons blessed by various divine arts, and when I meet them, I should be able to surprise the other party." ”

Nadir rejoiced: "In this case, it will be more certain to defend the city!"

For those who have used magical weapons like Nadir, the power of these things could not be clearer. Therefore, when they hear this news, they will rejoice and have confidence in defending the city.

As he spoke, the knights below were also arrayed, holding huge and solid shields in their hands, and they seemed to be ready.

After all, in the first half of the month, the two sides fought one after another, and after suffering hardships, they would naturally make some corresponding measures.

In the past, these measures can often have a good effect, which can greatly reduce the number of casualties.

But this time, on the city wall, Nadir just sneered, and after Artis gave him authorization, he slowly commanded the soldiers around him to pick up the bow and crossbow, and the crossbow arrows that had been prepared on it were shining, mixed with the aura of divine power fluctuations.

"Whoosh!"

Finally, with an order, countless crossbow arrows flew out and headed for the enemy troops below.

Suddenly, strange scenes slowly emerged.

A crossbow bolt shot into a huge shield, blocked by a heavy shield, unable to move on. However, in the next second, the divine power contained in the crossbow arrow suddenly exploded, carrying a little bit of violent fire element, and it exploded all at once.

With a roar, an explosion sounded, and the scene was filled with a fire, burning and unable to be extinguished.

Then, there was an explosion, which turned the scene into a small sea of fire, and repelled many people for a while.

However, although the sea of fire was good, it actually did not burn many people, and most of them died under the impact of the first wave, directly bursting the originally solid shield and killing the warriors inside.

Only a few knights who had awakened their fighting spirit were able to escape the catastrophe, and with their strong bodies strengthened by their fighting spirits, although their flesh and blood were blurred, they continued to thrust forward.

But at this time, the second wave of crossbow bolts also came.

A little wind suddenly appeared, and a little wind element was gradually rippling, carrying arrows of divine power, stabbing down quickly.

Suddenly, one by one the knights snorted, and some of them didn't even react, they were pierced into the body by an arrow and died directly.

"What kind of arrow is this!"

In the rear, seeing this terrifying sight, Barrity's face changed, and he stood up and said in shock.

With his strength, he could naturally see the vision in it, not only the previous fire, but also the powerful penetrating power that almost protected the armor from nothing, it could not be an ordinary arrow.

"It seems to be a powerful weapon made by the Northern Sacrifice!"

On his side, a nobleman was also shocked, and then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, in this case, do you still need to send people to test it?"

"No need!" Barrriet's voice rang out from the side.

He looked ahead, and there were few soldiers left under this blow, his face was pale: "In this case, there is no need to be tempted!"

"Let the slaves press, and we will attack the city directly!"

He looked at the city wall in front of him and showed a cold face: "Even if the other party's arrows are powerful, but if there are enough of these things and they are easy enough to make, then why didn't they come out a few days ago?"

"It must have been difficult to make, so there wasn't much of it. Send slaves directly to attack the city and see if the opponent's arrows run out first, or if my slaves die first!"

So, with his order, driven by a group of knight overseers, a large group of slave warriors wearing simple armor frantically pounced.

These are different from the slaves of the past, but the professional war slaves kept by the Principality of Indeli all year round, usually trained frantically, and equipped with simple leather armor and cloth armor, etc., just to be used for consumption on the battlefield.

As these frantic and blood-stained slave soldiers stepped forward, on the city wall, Nadir's face slowly became serious, and his eyes looked at the other side solemnly.
