Chapter 31 The Battle of Shangjing I
Cheng Xiuyi was alone, facing dozens of tribal chief priests, although both sides did not use all their strength.
In the protective shield, there are several chief priests holding the scepter in their hands and starting to chant divine power, and the cultivation method of the sacrifice is different from that of human mages and elven elementals.
The latter two communicate with the elements of nature through their own meditation, and when they need to use these elements to attack or protect, they need to communicate with these elements through some neurons in their brains.
Then, through the characteristic syllables and intonation, it resonates with these elements, thereby releasing these natural elements for combat and defense.
Therefore, as mages and elementalists, chanting magic spells out loud is an essential part.
Of course, if you can reach a certain level and release some low-level magic, then this kind of chant can be omitted.
But for high-level magic, the chanting of magic spells is a must, which is why these mages and elementalists often need to be followed by several warrior followers.
Of course, if they have to act alone, they will carry a high-level defense scroll, and if there is danger, they will immediately open the scroll, and the defense magic inside the scroll will immediately appear to protect them.
The cultivation of sacrifice is to communicate with the gods of one's faith on a spiritual level through oneself, and has reached the point of attacking and defending with the help of the power of these main gods.
Therefore, the Sacrifice does not require chanting a spell, but that does not mean that the Sacrifice will attack faster than the Mage and Elementalist.
Because communicating with the spirit of the Lord God requires closing your eyes and meditating, it takes time, but this process is only in the preparation for the battle.
Therefore, the pre-sacrifice prayer is the most dangerous time for them, and when their prayer is completed, then there is no need to meditate during the battle.
Moreover, they can keep a part of their divine power in the scepter, so the sacrifice rarely requires the protection of a warrior or warrior.
Because their scepter will instantly release their divine power to protect themselves, and when they are protected by divine power, they can start meditating and praying.
Therefore, when Cheng Xiuyi attacked the warlords, the first thing was the battle between these tribal priests and Cheng Xiuyi.
Because they can cultivate to the level of the main priest of the tribe, they don't need to temporarily meditate and communicate with the main god when they are fighting.
They have been able to store a large amount of the divine power of the main god in their scepters.
However, if they want to carry out a powerful attack, they still need to use meditation to communicate with the main god.
Therefore, dozens of tribal chief priests used divine power shields to cover several other tribal chief priests to meditate, and then attacked Cheng Xiuyi.
When these several chief priests finished meditating, they aimed the scepter in their hands at Cheng Xiuyi and launched a powerful thunderbolt technique.
When the thunder and lightning in the sky fell on Cheng Xiuyi's head from the sky, the soldiers at the head of the city collectively held their breath.
Because they have the impression that the mages and priests who can control the various elements in nature are god-like figures.
Such an overwhelming thunder and lightning is concentrated on one person's head, and it is difficult for people to imagine what this person will become in the end.
Many soldiers and generals prayed in their hearts to the Immeasurable Ancestor and the Zen God to bless this beautiful half-elf princess.
In everyone's hearts, such a beautiful, kind and brave princess should be blessed by the gods.
However, I don't know if these two main gods blessed Cheng Xiuyi, but the overwhelming thunder and lightning technique did not fall on Cheng Xiuyi's head, because there was a huge purple gold bowl hanging on Cheng Xiuyi's head.
Those thunderbolts were all received in this money bowl.
I saw Cheng Xiuyi's head, this huge purple gold bowl was constantly rotating in a spiral shape on her, and the electric light around the bowl flickered, and there was no trace of thunder and lightning falling on Cheng Xiuyi's head.
At this time, the officials of the Xia Yuan Dynasty headed by Cheng Mingci, and the royal family, basically landed on the city.
At this time, a minister standing beside Cheng Mingci exclaimed: Isn't this the Zen Sect's treasure Yunlong Purple Gold Bowl?
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess was carrying three supreme holy weapons, no wonder the eldest princess was confident that she could defeat the beast demon alliance?
At this time, in the camp of the beast demon alliance under the city, Namur Dozhen also led the chiefs of various clans to the front of the two armies.
When he saw this scene, he was also very surprised, an ordinary swordsman was not terrible, but a swordsman with three holy weapons was terrifying.
When Namurdo was a child, he had seen a little mention of this miraculous purple bowl in one of the clan's books.
It was recorded by a saint-level powerhouse in the clan, and this saint wrote in the book that when the turbulence of the elements was sadistic in the air, the powerful Xia Yuan powerhouse appeared, and he was dressed plainly and closed his eyes slightly.
In his hand was a purple gold bowl that glittered with golden light, and when he sacrificed this purple gold bowl into the air, the bowl emitted a magnificent light to absorb the elemental turbulence in the air.
This record left a very deep impression on Namurdo, and now that he saw this magical artifact with his own eyes, Namurdo really had mixed feelings in his heart, and at the same time, it also aroused the fierceness in the heart of this beast demon powerhouse.
So he ordered the Warlord to drive the remaining army of human servants into battle, and he was to storm the capital.
At the same time, he ordered Beamon's long-range siege force to cover the siege of the human servant army, and at the same time sent 10,000 air troops to cover the human servant army.
He also ordered the rat demon to start digging tunnels behind the human servants, and to follow the humans to climb and siege the city.
Because the rats are the most numerous of the Beast Demon race, they are very good at climbing and digging tunnels, and most importantly, they are the bravest of all the support classes.
Therefore, they are the vanguard of the siege of the beast demon clan, and of the 800,000 beast demon alliance soldiers brought by Namur Dozhen this time, 500,000 are the rat demon clan.
When these short, sturdy rat demons, a hundred people carried a cloud ladder with a length of more than four hundred meters, followed the human servant army and rushed towards the capital.
Namurdo really didn't believe that there was a second half-elf in this Shangjing City who had three holy weapons.
Namurdo really knew that although this half-elf swordsman possessed three holy weapons, this half-elf was not yet a saint-level powerhouse, not even a swordsman, so she could not fully exert the power of these three holy weapons.
If she could fully exert the power of the three holy weapons, Namurdo would have no choice but to withdraw her troops from Eagle Sorrow Pass immediately.
Because the power of these three holy weapons alone can wipe out more than 100,000 people, and the remaining soldiers don't have that much psychological capacity.
They would collapse in an instant, but now this half-elf does not have this ability.
But she didn't, not necessarily no one else, this half-elf looked like a famous disciple, otherwise she couldn't have three holy weapons alone.
Once she invites her senior brother or even the elders of the sect, then her southern expedition will be in vain.
Therefore, he decided to let these dozens of tribal priests contain her, and then attack the city, and use the tactics of crowds, you can still deal with my million-strong army with a small half-elf swordsman?
And those ordinary Terran soldiers in the capital are notoriously fishy, once the Terran soldiers in the siege panic, and those servant troops who were rescued into the city by you, they will infinitely amplify this panic.
You must know that Shangjing has not experienced war for more than 2,000 years, and today's Xia Yuan people have not experienced war for too long.
They probably couldn't even remember what color the blood was, otherwise, how could the Beast Demon Alliance attack the capital of this huge empire so quickly?
However, the soldiers in the Beast Demon Alliance are different, they are fighting all the time, and they even have to keep one eye open when they sleep and rest.
How could such an army that had experienced a hundred battles not be able to fight a unit that had not experienced a war for a long time.
So Namurdo really decided to start attacking the city now, but the idea was good, but the reality was cruel, when the beast demon alliance began to attack the city, those noble officials originally planned to persuade Cheng Mingci to hurry down the city wall and return to the inner city.
And the soldiers also showed panic in their eyes, after all, they had never experienced war, and war was too foreign to them.
When Cheng Mingci saw the panic in the eyes of the soldiers and the generals defending the city, Cheng Mingci decided to stay.
You must know that when Cheng Mingci did not become the emperor of the empire, he traveled to many places, and he even went to the Western Continent as a mercenary.
In the end, he almost died in an adventure, but fortunately he was rescued by Cheng Xiuyi's mother, and the two also achieved a love that was very happy but did not end well.
But it was this adventurous experience that made Cheng Mingci not feel much fear when facing such a scene, on the contrary, there was even a trace of excitement.
Therefore, he turned around and pointed to Cheng Xiuyi, who was still fighting with the beast demon priests, and said to the ministers who advised him to go down to the city: "Don't you see that my daughter is fighting against those barbarians in order to defend my city?
Whether as Emperor of the Empire or as a father, I will stay, and I will fight with my soldiers and my daughters.
I want to see how these barbarians attacked the imperial capital of my great country.
After saying this, Cheng Mingci ignored everyone's dissuasion, came to a mighty drum on the city wall, and raised a pair of drumsticks.
The drum shaft of the drumstick is more than three feet long, the thickness of an adult's wrist, and the drumstick is the size of an adult's two fists.
When the drumsticks hit the drum surface of the giant drum, only a drum beat was heard in front of the two armies.
When the soldiers on the city walls saw their emperor beating drums to cheer them on, while the princess of the empire was fighting the enemy head-on.
The soldiers felt encouraged that they were no longer despised warriors, that they were the guardians of the city, because the emperor and princess were fighting with them against the enemy.
When Namurdo really saw this scene, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and in his opinion, morale was indeed very important.
But strength is the decisive factor in determining the outcome of a war, so he ordered the air troops to attack the emperor of the empire with firepower.
Once the emperor is killed, then Shangjing will naturally be self-defeating.
So the griffin heavy horsemen and eagles in the air, and the vulture light horsemen fired the javelins and bows and crossbows in their hands like raindrops at Cheng Mingci.
The soldiers who defended the city also protected their emperor with their shields, and when bows and arrows passed through the gaps in the shields, the young soldiers even protected the emperor with their own bodies.
There was a young soldier who was only a teenager, and in order to protect Cheng Mingci, he even lay his body on Cheng Mingci's body, and the young soldier's body was shot with several arrows, three of which were shot in the back of his neck.
When the soldier finally lost all his vitality and slipped to the ground, Cheng Mingci's eyes were completely covered by tears, but he did not stop the movements of his hands, he wanted to use his actions to tell his soldiers that the emperor was with them.
The Empire must have been able to wipe out the invaders, and when the soldier's body was carried away, he didn't even see the young soldier who had saved him for the last time.
At this time, another soldier who was also young took the place of the soldier just now and continued to protect the emperor.
And the nobles of the empire saw the emperor like this, and although their hearts were full of fear, they remained on the city walls to help the soldiers defend the city.
