Black Chapter (One Hundred and Twelve) Wall

"Magician! Keep up the good barrier! Once the artillery of the 'Empire' comes in, none of us will survive! Gunner! Carry out the order I just ordered! Brothers! We need to believe that the Lord is with us and that we will be victorious! The guns on the ramparts quickly rang out as they had been arranged, and the gunner-commander nodded in satisfaction and said to the recruit who questioned him, "Don't you want to know why?" ”

"Yes! Sir! The recruit had doubts in his mind, but he still carried out the commander's orders carefully, and was engrossed in manipulating the laser cannon in his hand, firing deadly laser after laser at the "Imperial" gunners above St. John's position.

As the air supremacy, the dragon's flying ability is naturally quite good, and the recruit's laser cannon attacked several times, but failed to hit even a single "Empire" gunner. Not only him, but also the other gunners, after a few rounds of attacks, the damage caused was not as good as expected, and even a few magic cannons missed and fell to the position below, almost injuring their own people.

The situation made the commander of the gunners a little helpless, and he had no other way, after all, the hit rate could not be improved by his order, fortunately, after several attacks, the gunners began to slowly get used to the speed of the "Empire" gunners, and cooperated with each other to block the action space of the "Empire" gunners, and the casualties of the "Empire" gunners gradually increased.

The attack on the mage troops and the "Imperial" chariots is not very skillful, it is purely a hard firepower. The Holy See gunners, equipped with the "Garden" laser cannon and the "Imperial" magic cannon, exchanged the continuous onslaught for a decent result, destroying and killing some "Imperial" chariots, as well as the "Imperial" magicians, forcing the "Imperal" magician troops to retreat a short distance.

"Keep the momentum going! Don't skimp on ammo! Remember! No amount of ammunition can get a life back! The seemingly better situation did not make the gunner commander relax, and there was always a lingering cloud in his heart.

"There are doubts in my heart, but there is no ambiguity in my actions, well done, recruit!" Taking advantage of the improvement of the situation, the gunners commander took the time to praise the recruits.

"It is a soldier's duty to carry out orders! Sir! The recruit said, wielding the laser cannon.

The gunner commander said, "I'm sure it's not just him, but the rest of you newcomers must have the same doubts, why didn't I arrange for people to attack the siege cavalry below, right?" ”

On the city walls, no one answered, and the gunner-commander heard only the roar of a laser cannon and a magic cannon.

"Because, no!" The symphony of artillery fire made the gunner-commander very happy, "Recruits! Tell me, what is the name of this high wall that guards the holy city? ”

"God-given wall!" The recruits on the city walls replied in unison.

"Not bad! God-given wall! "Can any of you tell me why it's called the God-given Wall?" ”

A papal soldier commanded a magic cannon to attack the "Imperial" mage troops, and at the same time shouted: "Report to Your Excellency the Commander!" I know! Because this wall appeared out of thin air when the reptiles of the 'Empire' attacked for the first time! To be considered a gift from God! Hence the name 'God-given wall'. ”

The gunner commander nodded, and his mind went back to half a month ago, when the "Empire" first attacked the Vatican. At that time, although they had already discovered the distant location of the "Empire" and the intention to attack the Vatican, or rather, the "Empire" had no intention of concealing this operation at all, and "generously" gave the Vatican two weeks to prepare for the war.

As soon as the two sides went to war, it immediately became a one-sided situation, and in the face of the overwhelming strength of the "Empire", the Vatican's half-hung escorts did not even have a chance to counterattack, and in just one morning, most of them were wiped out by the "Empire", and the losses of the "Empire" were almost negligible.

In the evening, the Vatican City was filled with a sense of sorrow, and people were together, praying before dinner, and everyone thought that this would be their last supper. Outside the city, the "Imperial" army was also preparing the Last Supper, the Last Supper before the capture of the Vatican, and they were determined to wipe the Vatican off the map by midnight. That's when a miracle struck! A huge white wall appeared out of thin air, enclosing the Vatican tightly.

When the city wall first appeared, the Vatican and the "Imperial" army were stunned, and the commander of the "Imperial" made a decisive decision, and without even eating dinner, he asked the whole army to immediately attack the city wall, but to the surprise of the Vatican and the "Imperial", after a wild and indiscriminate bombardment by the "Imperial" army, there was not even a small crack in the city wall! The dignified "Empire" army can't destroy a city wall? How could the "Imperial" army be willing to stop there? They even brought in a force of mages to help, vowing to break through the wall that suddenly appeared in one fell swoop.

The artillery fire continued all night, and the people of Vatican City also suffered uneasily in the shelling all night, until the next day, at dawn, the shelling stopped, and the white walls shimmered in the morning sun, and after a whole night of artillery fire, it was still intact and undamaged, not even a small piece of masonry on the battlements.

The people of the city watched the towering walls, led by the Pope, bend their knees one by one, kneel on the ground, clasp their hands in front of their chests, and make the most pious prayer of their lives.

For the next three days, outside the city walls, the artillery fire of the "Empire" army hardly stopped, but the people inside the city walls were no longer afraid and frightened, they believed that God was protecting them, God did not abandon His people, and in the face of God's miracles, the artillery and magic of the "Empire" were not worth mentioning at all. And this wall did not disappoint the people in the Vatican, after three days of bombardment, it still stands on the ground, as it was on the first night, not a single brick or stone has been damaged.

After three days of bombardment, the artillery fire of the "Empire" finally stopped, and the commanders of the "Empire" seemed to have finally given up the idea of destroying the city wall.

The whole army rested under the walls for a day, and on the morning of the fifth day, the rest of the troops of the "Empire" began to climb over the wall, except for the heavy cavalry and magicians who remained in their positions.

The two-speared cavalry took the lead and rushed up to the wall, and they quickly ran to the top of the wall as if they were walking on the vertical wall, while the infantry, together with the Wyverns, spread their wings and flew directly over the towering wall.

The "Imperial" army climbed over the wall and entered the city, so that the Vatican City was once again shrouded in the shadow of fear, on the streets, people fled in all directions, and the army of the Holy See sacrificed their lives to protect everyone in the city, but except for the laser cannons from the "garden", ordinary weapons could not penetrate the hard scales of the dragons.

At this moment, a miracle descended on the Vatican City for the second time, and a huge gap opened in the gray sky, and the golden light shone in the gap, and the golden raindrops fell and hit all the creatures in the Vatican City.

The flying dragons in the sky fell one after another, the soldiers of the "Empire" collapsed to the ground one after another, but the wounds on the bodies of the people in the Vatican healed one by one, and the soldiers of the Holy See were also pleasantly surprised to find that the weapons in their hands, in addition to the guns, had been baptized by raindrops, and could easily pierce the scales and armor of the "Empire" soldiers.

"That's why we're here!" The gunner-commander personally operated a laser cannon, and with the assistance of two other laser guns, one shot down an "Imperial" gunner above the position, "Miracles will happen once, twice, but no one can guarantee that there will be three or four times!" We need to believe that God has not abandoned His people, but we must also understand that it is impossible to expect God's miracles alone! So, we're going to stand here and never let the reptiles of the 'Empire' climb over this wall until we run out of bullets and fall to the last man!" As for the 'Empire's siege cavalry, let them make trouble! A few reptiles, and they dare to fight against the power of God, it's a dream! ”

Although he personally experienced those miraculous five days, the recruit was obviously not at ease, he couldn't help but poke his head out and look at the bottom of the city wall, groups of siege heavy cavalry gathered below, some were constantly crashing against the wall, and some were bombarding all positions of the wall together with the "Imperial" chariots on the periphery of the position, but this "God-given wall", as the squad leader said, was still standing still under the impact and bombardment, and the soldiers who stayed on the city wall did not feel a trace of shock.

The doubts and uneasiness in the recruit's heart were gone, and the solid city wall strengthened his faith and conviction, but after a while, the recruit became worried again, and he saw from a distance that a dazzling energy was gathering at the retreat of the "Empire" magician troops.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" The Empire's magicians seem to be preparing to cast a big spell, and I'm afraid it's coming at us! The recruit hurriedly reported, the "Empire" magician will definitely not use large-scale magic to attack the position below, after all, there are still "Empire" soldiers there, and the "Empire" is reluctant to let its soldiers and humans die together, so the target of this magic attack is only the wall, them, the gunners of the Holy See.

"I saw it!" The Gunslinger Commander said, "I'm sure our brother magician will be able to withstand it!" ”

"Leave it to us!" Behind the Gunner Commander, a magician who was working with his companions to maintain the Vatican City barrier said, he looked to be the oldest of all magicians, with silvery-white but thick hair, and the folds on his face like a ball of paper that had been crumpled many times.

After receiving the old magician's assurance, the gunner commander was still a little worried, he looked at the sky and said: "Compared with those siege heavy cavalry, 'Empire' chariots, and magicians, in fact, I am more worried about the heavens!" ”

"Heavenly?" The recruit gunner had doubts on his face.

"The Wyvern of the Empire." The gunner commander's gaze shifted back to the position below, "The Wyvern forces of the 'Empire' are our greatest threat. According to the past, they should have appeared during the two-spear raid, and with their support, the two-spear raider troops would not have been defeated so badly, but until now, we haven't even seen the shadow of the Wyvern troops, what are the reptiles of the 'Empire' up to them? ”

"Will the 'Empire' make a noise? A large army is holding us back here, and the Wyvern troops are rushing into the city from other directions? The recruit gunner asked.

The gunner commander shook his head and said, "It's not that there are no defenders in the city, not to mention that even if the Flying Dragon troops enter the city from other directions, we can see it when we turn our heads on the city wall." Until the Papal army is defeated, and St. John is not defeated, I believe that the 'Empire' will not dare to climb over the wall and enter the city. ”

The recruit gunner asked, "Why?" ”

"The reason is simple," said the gunner commander, "the commanders of the 'Empire' are afraid that a miracle will happen again and let their precious army die in vain in the city, and they can only be at peace if they destroy all the forces of the Holy See or break through the wall that symbolizes the miracle." ”

On the position of the "Imperial" magician troops, the results of the siege heavy cavalry made Brenaud not very satisfied, and he continued, but he was just repeating every day for half a month.

"General Delare, the siege cavalry still can't destroy the city wall, I decided to let the mage troops cast several large ones in a row, I don't believe this wall is really that strong!" Breno messaged De Lare.

"Yes! Ranged units and siege cavalry are under your command! Rook and I are going to meet the God of War in the Holy See for a while! Let's see if he's really invincible! De Lale stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, "I'm mainly worried about the sky right now, will something happen?" ”

"With our Lord here, even if something happens, it won't be our turn to worry!" Luke stared at St. John, who had killed nearly a hundred "Imperial" soldiers not far away, and said, "Speaking of which, thank our Lord for that!" I wanted to fight that guy a long time ago, but if Lord Lord and the Wyvern didn't come, the battle would have been chaotic like this, and I wouldn't have found a chance! St. John, be my dinner with peace of mind! ”

Rooke roared and rushed at St. John from the front.

Under the gloomy, icy sky, a flock of crows flew by, landing on one of the battlements of the Vatican walls, where they stood, their eyes staring downward, their eyes full of anticipation, anticipation of an upcoming feast. Encouraged by this anticipation, even the incessant sound of artillery fire around them could not drive them away, and perhaps even to them, the roar of artillery fire and the roar and the sound of weapons clashing from below were nothing more than a concert before the feast began......
