Located in the center of the northern part of the continent, the once-glorious Numa Kingdom has established this sprawling city, with sixteen highways connecting the heavens in all directions.

Today, this dazzling city is ruined everywhere, covered with moss, adding a bit of darkness, and countless snake people occupy this place, and the city tower is densely packed with snake people.

The sixteen avenues have now all been occupied by the Terran army, and the snake people have retreated to the city, facing the continuous attacks of the Terrans, and they have been beaten by the Terrans in the wild, and now they can only rely on the city walls to resist.

The appearance of the snake people is actually not so ugly, except that there are some scales on the face that have not faded, which is not much different from the human face, mainly because their lower body is a thick snake tail, dragging and moving on the ground, leaving a slippery and greasy liquid every time, which makes people feel disgusting.

The relics are built on a swamp, this swamp has not dried up so far, the sixteen avenues are all made of large boulders with exquisite structures, it is very difficult to destroy large sections in a short period of time, otherwise these snake people only need to destroy the sixteen avenues, it will be difficult for the human race to survive.

The royal family wants to rebuild the legacy capital into the national capital, and the snake people are even more reluctant to leave, the contradictions between the two are irreconcilable, and it was a violent conflict at the beginning, the human race took some advantage and had a big advantage in the field, but the main force of the snake people is still there, and there are at least 500,000 snake people in the left capital.

The composition of the Serpent's forces is relatively simple, and the only people encountered so far are melee pikemen and long-range archers, but the sheer number is enough to cause headaches.

"Duke Auguste, what do you think of the current situation?" In the fairly neat field king's tent, the middle-aged emperor Xin Lian Rose with two brown mustaches touched his chin and looked at an old man sitting at the bottom of the table.

Duke Auguste had meticulous silver hair, neither long nor short, and wore a simple gray casual robe, and the only person who could sit here was the Duke of the Empire, and if the old Duke of Bourbon had not died, he would have had a place here.

"There's nothing left to think about, the heavy shield troops are on top, the spearmen are pressing, the mages and archers are suppressed, and after entering the city, the knights open the way and sweep, we are running out of food, and tens of millions of people of the empire are looking forward to it in the rear. ”

August did not even smile, expressing his displeasure at His Majesty's indecision, which seemed to him to be an unrealistic and childish act of the idea that His Majesty still harbored a peaceful settlement.

But Xin Lian could not be angry with Duke Auguste, and now half of the main army was the private army of the great nobles of the empire, including the elite of the Bourbon family, and Auguste was very prestigious, and his opinion could almost represent the opinion of all nobles.

"Pass my order, all attack!" Xin Lian also knew that there was nothing to think about now, just looking at those grand dukes who didn't say a word, he knew that if he hesitated, he could only let his guards fight, and these grand dukes were willing to let their private soldiers be sent out to consume with the snake people for the sake of the empire, and their hearts were not so reluctant.

"And Lord Pope, it's time for your church's Knights of Light to play, right?" He has already issued an order, Xin Lian will never allow the Pope of Light to pretend to be deaf and dumb, this is a war for the whole human race, and the high power must bear the corresponding responsibility.

"When the city is broken, the knights of light will charge ahead!" The Pope of Light glared at him, during this time, everyone's anger was quite big, a large number of people had died when they fled, and the God of Light had fallen, and his life as the Pope of Light was very sad, and those big nobles looked at him gloatingly, and his power was at a low point, and the days of fighting against the imperial royal family were gone, if it weren't for the fact that there were still a large number of church knights in the Holy See, he would not have the opportunity to sit here now.

"Hehe, as long as you are willing to contribute, capture the relict capital, and reward your merits!" Xin Lian saw the pope's deflated appearance, his heart was very comfortable, anyone who gained the upper hand after decades of fighting would be proud, he thought in his heart, this disaster is not necessarily a bad thing for the royal family, as long as the capital is captured, the influence of the royal family will be unprecedentedly expanded, the control of the entire empire can rise to a higher level, and his power will be further increased, thinking like this, even if the faces of other people are not good-looking, he is also very comfortable in his heart.

"Woo woo woo

The royal guards in half-body armor stopped laughing and scolding lightly, they had already cleaned up the surrounding area of the capital three times, and there would definitely be no trouble-making troops during the attack, now, three days have passed, all the battle preparations have been completed, and their patience will be exhausted if they drag on any longer, and when they hear the horn, these most loyal soldiers of the empire are boiling at the same time.

Here, it will be the beginning of the revitalization of the empire!

The private soldiers of the nobles who were not dressed in different clothes formed their own camps, standing on the sixteen avenues, don't look at their equipment is not uniform, these are the private soldiers of the big nobles, and their combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the Guards Regiment at all.

A siege machine was pushed out from the position, ladders and wood were just the lowest things, and some heavy equipment made of steel was the main force of the siege, and everyone had no doubt about breaking through the dilapidated city walls, and the most difficult thing was the battle after entering the city.

The snake people are more familiar with the terrain than them, and the snake people have a lot of strength and have an advantage in terms of physique, and even the veterans of a hundred battles are not completely sure of hand-to-hand combat.

Hundreds of thousands of church knights followed anxiously behind the besieging troops, even their horses were already armoured, they knew their mission, they were the main force in the city, and the battle would be very fierce, as they could guess from their previous experience with the snake people, and they kept their strength as much as possible.

"Forward, forward, forward!" The heavy shield soldiers carried heavy iron and solid wood shields, and marched under the orders of the officers, and every time they shouted forward, they took a step forward neatly, don't think that this is stupid, there are such scenes on the sixteen avenues, countless low-level officers are shouting slogans, and the heavy pressure is close to the snake people who line the city walls.

The protection of the heavy shield soldiers is not invulnerable, it is too luxurious to be wrapped in a tin can like the dwarven elite, it is impossible to assemble troops on a large scale, most of the nearly 200,000 heavy shield soldiers are Imperial Guards, and their protection is only a helmet in addition to a boxy heavy shield, but this is enough, at least experienced veterans can protect themselves well in the face of arrows.

The Snake Man doesn't have a good way to deal with the Heavy Shields, and they only have a chance in close combat, so it is wise to use the Heavy Shields to attract fire and push under the walls.

The entire empire has more than 500,000 troops on the periphery of the relict capital, which is the real elite of the human race, it can be said that if all these armies are lost here, the entire empire will immediately fall apart, which is why His Majesty the Emperor hesitated again and again, a battle that gambles on the fortunes of the country, anyone will hesitate.

More than 2,000 mages were secretly hidden in the troops in four mage regiments, they were the main force to destroy the city wall, led by powerful mages, and a transparent shield had been applied by senior mages, which could probably ensure that they would not be harmed by the attacks of one or two stray arrows for a short time.

The three-storey arrow tower is rolling forward under the impetus of manpower, the wooden arrow tower is wrapped in thick cowhide, even the flame is not enough to destroy an arrow tower in a short time, the defense must be done well, but it is not possible to counter it, more than 80,000 well-trained archers follow an arrow tower to the front line.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, accompanied by the Grand Dukes, stood on the open flat ground and watched the army advance at a very slow but rhythmic speed, he could afford to wait, because even if he advanced at this speed, the heavy shield soldiers at the front would be able to push under the city wall in ten minutes, he stood here without fear, in addition to being a powerful warrior himself, there were also many masters around him to protect him, including those Grand Dukes, even if it was the Pope, his strength was not afraid of those snake people at all, if the snake people clan had a strong person come forward, they would also attack。

The oppressive and frenzied atmosphere finally broke out when the heavy shieldmen were halfway through! The stupid snake men could not stand the tremendous pressure, and thought that the heavy shieldmen were within their range, and fired with their bows and arrows.

His Majesty smiled faintly, and he saw that the arrows that looked relatively strong were either stuck in the ground before they could reach his army, and some of them hit their shields and were bounced to the ground.

From time to time, powerful arrows shot through the heavy shield soldiers and their shields, but in the mechanical repetition of the officer's "forward" sound, the densely arranged heavy shield soldiers did not stop for even half a second, and this loss could not defeat the elite of the empire.

The Terrans' counterattack is much slower, when the snake man shoots far arrows into the cowhide wrapped by the arrow tower, the arrow tower begins to slowly pour arrows, the Terran is not as strong as the snake man in the use of bows and arrows, generally speaking, it is already the limit to be able to shoot eight to ten arrows in a battle, and the range is not so far, so it will not start shooting when it is not sure.

In the distance, on the high mountains, wealthy goblin merchants held something similar to a telescope and watched the huge battlefield, this kind of million-level battle is still relatively rare in the north of the continent, especially the human race is still elite.

"Is our food almost there? I think we'll have a business to do right away. "Seeing that sixteen black torrents are about to engulf the dying old remnants, the wise goblin merchants have seen the outcome of the decisive battle, and their keen noses can soon smell it, and he would rather change the object of the transaction than those stupid snake people who do not know how to consume and enjoy.

In the distance, a huge flame exploded on the city wall, knocking on the relatively tall city wall of the Marsh Country Heritage Capital, and the lurking mage group finally made a move.
