Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Imperial Family: Under the Dawn
These knights are still led by the unicorn female knights who are suitable for the three princes. This unicorn really deserves to be a divine beast, and it actually gave birth to a pair of huge white wings under its ribs and flew into the air. The other beast knights led by the female knight are also hideous.
One of them is several feet long, resembling a giant python, but with a pair of huge meat wings, another is like a giant eagle, but it is twice as big, and another is like a civet cat, but its forelimbs and hind limbs are covered with a layer of flesh, and when the limbs are opened, they form a piece of meat wings, which can also fly in the air. In short, these strange beasts have their own strange appearances, which is difficult to describe.
Seeing these strange beasts coming towards him, Chenguang knew that this was Mitarion's desire to repeat his old trick, and once again cut off the commander of Belen, and immediately carried Niu Er on his back, with the golden stick in his hand across his chest, and the waning moon walked around his body, ready to meet the enemy.
The alien beast group has come to the two of them, and at this moment, several bowl-thick lightning bolts swept past the two of them, slashing straight towards the alien beast group, several alien beasts couldn't dodge, and were struck by the lightning, and immediately scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and fell down.
Morninglight looked back, but it was the Links Divine Envoy standing on top of the giant Thunderbird, rushing to help. Next to the links oracle stood Amytis.
The Thunderbird of the Links Oracle's wings flew several times the size of the Mitarionian Beast, and there were several Abyssal Bat guards around the Thunderbird. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Mitarion's beasts and the Links Divine Envoy's beasts fought together in midair. I saw lightning flashing in mid-air, and the flames rolling, which was very beautiful.
However, there are too many strange beasts in Mitarion, especially the unicorn female knight, who actually fought one-on-one with the Thunderbird of the Links Divine Envoy, and she was not left behind.
I saw that the sharp horns on the top of the unicorn's head continued to radiate all kinds of magic, ice arrows, lightning, flames, and even formed a golden shield in front of him, and the thin transparent shield could actually block the lightning of the Links Divine Thunderbird.
Legend has it that the Thunderbird is a descendant of the Kunpeng and was once the mount of the gods in ancient times, and its thunder and lightning power can form a series of thunder nets, and can also block the various magic emitted by unicorns, so the two sides are evenly matched.
On the other side, several abyssal phantom bats were entangled with hundreds of strange beasts, due to the large gap in numbers, although the abyssal phantom bats had a powerful sonic attack, they still gradually fell behind, and from time to time they would be attacked by sneak attacks, and the last few abyssal phantom bats had to lean together and struggle to support.
The battle in the sky has not yet been decided, and the battle on the ground has entered another stage.
The Mitarion's army attacked the first wall and had to attack the second wall again, while the Tianzhou Legion, which had originally attacked from the top of Fort Wick as a surprise army, encountered a strong resistance on the eighth floor, and the defenders of Belém retreated to the eighth layer of the passage in an orderly manner, building an effective defense. The passage on each floor of Fort Wick is no more than a foot wide, and it is a little tight for five people to walk side by side, not to mention the battle? Mitarion's elite troops were very embarrassed and congested at the passage from the top floor to the eighth floor, which could not play a role at all.
At this time, there were about 10,000 men and horses in the Belén garrison, except for the wounded, only more than half could still fight, and nearly half of them were concentrated on the second city wall, with arrows and stones, struggling to resist the attack of Mitarion, and there were 1 or 2,000 people guarding the sixth and seventh floors, manipulating several trebuchets, and throwing anger at the attacking Mitarion army from afar. The remaining two or three thousand people were concentrated on the eighth floor, and they did their best to withstand the elite of Mitarion on the top floor.
The Mitarion's army, on the other hand, was in a crisis, thinking that they would be able to drive straight through the city gates, but they did not expect Belém to cut off the passage of the first and second walls, and their previous efforts were in vain, and they had to start all over again. The second city wall is several zhang higher than the first city wall, although there are five city gates below, but they are not too big, and the material of the gate is exactly the same as the first city gate, it is difficult to break through at all, tens of thousands of meters of Taleon soldiers are together, under the second city wall, in front of live targets.
At this time, it was almost dawn, the storm was gradually weakening, and looking at the clouds in the sky, it was already gradually moving towards the Devil's Strait to the east, and lightning almost appeared in the eastern strait.
At this time, the Chinese army of Mitarion changed again, and a dazzling spark rose from the Chinese army camp and exploded high in the night sky, and the entire Fort Wick was dyed blood red. Then, a commotion came from Mitarion's Chinese army.
The people on the ground still didn't know what was going on, but Niu Er and Chenguang could see it really in the air. It turned out that a huge siege machine had been launched in the Mitarion army.
There are hundreds of logs under this instrument, and on the log is a long platform, the platform is about dozens of zhang long, and on it stands more than a dozen stout door-shaped poles from front to back, and an extremely thick log is hung from the pole. The front of the log was sharpened into a sharp shape, and it was like a battering ram.
The battering ram was dozens of feet long, surrounded by thousands of strong men of the Mitarion army, and in front of it were dozens of strange beasts in chains. Every time this battering ram passes through a log, dozens of people carry the log and move it to the front.
The Mitarion's army seemed to be in awe of the battering ram, and every time the battering ram took a step forward, the soldiers around it would avoid it from a distance and shout "Hoo!".
Seeing that this battering ram was getting closer and closer to Fort Wick, Niu Er hurriedly said: "Can't let it get close to Fort Wick, if the city gate is breached, Fort Wick will be finished, and Nanchanaburi will be finished." ”
Chenguang said: "I also know, but how can I stop it?"
As the two were talking, Amytis floated up and said to the morning light: "This battering ram must be raised high before it can be powerful, and you see it being hung on the pole of the platform, and that's why it is so. As long as all the chains hanging from it on the pole are cut off, it will naturally be powerless. ”
Chenguang said: "I see, as long as you find a way, you can stop it." ”
Amytis looked at Morning Light and said, "Let's go together." ”
Chenguang nodded and said, "Well, it's just that Niu Er is still on me, I'm afraid it will hurt him, so I have to send him down first." As he spoke, he handed Niu Er to Amytis, and said, "Emily, you take him, and I will guard by the side." Amytis nodded, grabbed Niu Er, and slowly walked towards Fort Wick below.
Of course, the Mitarion Alien Beast Knight in mid-air was unwilling to let Niu Er leave, and immediately a few of them rushed towards them, and the golden light in Chenguang's hand rushed towards these strange beasts.
With the escort of the morning light, Amytis took Niu Er to the second city wall safely, as soon as Niu Erfu landed, the Belen soldiers around him immediately hugged and knelt on the ground, which scared Amytis, but Niu Er waved his hand a little reluctantly, signaling the soldiers to get up.
Amytis asked, "Who are you, Niu Er, and how can these soldiers be so respectful to you?"
Niu Er cleared his throat and said helplessly: "I am actually the illegitimate son of Emperor Cisser and the first prince, Newell Brooke Poppperas Jose. As he spoke, he raised the gold medal in his hand: "This is the name plate of the Belém royal family, the only relic left to me by my mother." If it weren't for today's situation, I wouldn't have said it again. ”
Amytis was taken aback when she heard him, and turned around to look for the morning light to speak, but saw a golden light flash in the air, heading straight for the far side of the battlefield. Amytis was a little sluggish, half-loud and speechless.
However, it was said that Chenguang watched Amytis and Niu Er reach the ground safely, surrounded by Belen soldiers, and immediately shook away the beast knights around him with a stick, and then went straight to Mitarion's battering ram.
Mytarion's soldiers, numbering tens of thousands, guarding the battering ram, saw the morning light coming from the sky, and one of the leading generals brandished a broadsword and commanded the archers to shoot at the morning light.
Thousands of archers opened their bows at the same time, and the dense rain of arrows roared, and the morning light hurriedly expanded the waning moon and protected it in front of him, but these crossbows were extremely strong, and dozens of arrows were shot at the waning moon at the same time, forcing the morning light to stop in mid-air, and the morning light only felt that the waning moon seemed to be hit hard with a giant hammer, and the meridians were a little turbulent. But the morning light did not stop, after the arrow rain passed, the morning light rushed forward again, and when Mitarion's arrow rain hit again, the morning light learned from the experience, curled up his body, and hid behind the waning moon, relieving a lot of pressure. After repeating this, Morning Light finally approached the battering ram, and Mitarion's bow and arrows were no longer effective.
At this moment, several knights and warriors of Mitarion boarded the platform where the battering rams were kept, and they climbed to the top of the gate pole to guard against the morning light.
The morning light in mid-air smiled, the rhyme in his hand flowed, and the golden rhyme on the golden stick also began to rotate synchronously, and then the morning light exhaled and shouted, "Break!" The golden stick in his hand suddenly waved towards the first door-shaped pole, a dazzling golden light pierced the night sky, and there was a crisp sound, and the thick iron chain of the bowl hanging the battering ram was halved by the golden light, causing the battering ram to shake for a while, and the soldiers of the Mitarion army around were in an uproar.
Seeing that the blow was successful, Chenguang blocked a rain of arrows again, and took advantage of the gap to emit another golden light. This time, however, the golden light failed to hit the chain, and a knight from Mitarion leaped to his feet and blocked the golden light in midair.
This golden light was sent by the morning light urging the golden stick, the golden stick was originally an ancient artifact, how powerful the golden light was, the knight was wearing heavy armor, and the golden light was still shining through his chest, and bright red blood arrows spurted out and fell on the battering ram. The golden light was blocked by this knight, and its power weakened a lot, and it hit the second chain with a "poof", but it failed to break the chain.
Chenguang didn't expect the other party to risk his life so much, and when he looked back and saw that the walls of Fort Wick were already close at hand, Chenguang couldn't take care of it, and he ran the rhyme again, ready to continue to shoot. Behind him was a gust of wind, Chenguang had to turn back, the two beasts had already been left and right to him, Chenguang immediately waved the golden stick towards the two beasts, one of the flying snake beasts was swept by the golden light, immediately head in a different place, but the other giant eagle beast dodged the blow, rushed towards the morning light, Chenguang had to dodge and dodge, but unexpectedly a gust of wind sounded behind him again, fortunately the waning moon protected the master, around the back to block the blow, but so, this blow is still through the waning moon, the morning light spit blood, fly out。
It turned out to be a samurai who had just jumped onto the battering ram, and when he saw that Morninglight was being held back by a strange beast, he jumped into the air and struck Morninglight hard in the back.
Chenguang was knocked out by him, and several strange beasts surrounded him from several sides, Chenguang was already disordered at this time, it was difficult to dodge, and he was about to be hit hard by several strange beasts in mid-air, and a huge black shadow suddenly roared down from the top of Wickburg's head, and suddenly rushed into the group of strange beasts, scattering these strange beasts.
Chenguang took the opportunity to stabilize his body, and when he looked up, he saw that the huge guardian wyvern was swooping down from above Fort Wick, scattering Mitarion's beast knights in mid-air, and the Tianzhou, which was originally transporting Mitarion's elite troops, had already been surrounded by several guardian wyverns, and began to fall slowly.
The dawn sun peeked out of Fort Wick, pierced through the dark clouds, and pierced into the eyes of everyone on the battlefield. A vigorous figure was revealed in the dazzling sunlight, and Chenguang covered his eyes with his hands, barely seeing the figure of Jack Tu in the sunlight.
He was seen holding the Meteor Sword in his hand, wearing a brown cloak, standing high on the edge of the top terrace of Fort Wick. Beside him, there were more than a dozen corpses of Mitarion's knights and warriors.
At the back gate of Fort Wick, thousands of troops were pouring in, and it was the warriors of the Holy Capital of Middle-earth who rushed to the front.
Facing the morning sun of dawn, Niu Er's eyes flashed, he raised the gold medal in his hand, raised his arms and shouted, the Belen defenders were demoralized and began to counterattack the Mitarion army.
