Chapter Fifty-Six: The Imperial Family: On the Dawn
On Fort Wick, a large unlegged worm poked its head out of a nearby mountain wall. The long worm was ten feet thick, half of its body perched on the mountain wall, and the other half had reached the middle of the top terrace of Fort Wick. The morning light was completely protected by it, and countless rock arrows were sucked into its mouth. This long worm is an earth dragon that has been seen in the Holy Capital.
Morninglight looked at the huge earth dragon, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and turned his head to see a huge thunderbird roaring from behind Fort Wick, and the links oracle was sitting on it.
"Morning light, how can this be...... Oh my god!" Niu Er ran up from below panting, and just as he opened his mouth to ask, he was interrupted by a Mitarion soldier who suddenly killed from the oblique stab, this soldier was holding a mace, chasing Niu Er, and the morning light hurried over and knocked the Mitarion soldier unconscious from behind.
The frightened Niu Er patted his chest and said, "I'm scared to death." ”
Chenguang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mitarion took advantage of the night and the torrential rain to launch a surprise attack with the Heavenly Boat, and the Emperor Hisai was seriously injured by them, and has fled to the lower level at this moment. ”
Niu Er was shocked: "I came from the lower floor, and I haven't seen him......"
Chenguang said: "Maybe it's because it's noisy, and the guards sent him to another place." ”
As the two were talking, the young king's heavenly boat swept over their heads, the magician protected the heavenly boat with a golden shield, and the links oracle drove the thunderbird in pursuit.
Standing at the bow of the Heavenly Boat, he was holding a head in his hand, and shouted to Chenguang: "Chenguang, the head of Emperor Xisai has been taken down, and Fort Wick will soon be in his hands, if you don't want to die, hurry back to the Shenzhou Continent." ”
He said this to Chenguang as another shouted into the battlefield in the Schanaburi language. When Belém's soldiers heard this, their morale was in turmoil, while the Mitarion's army was in high spirits.
Chenguang looked at the high heir, furious, the rhyme in his hand flowed, the golden stick bloomed with ten thousand glorious lights, a golden light rose from Chenguang's hand to the sky, the heir was so frightened that he quickly dodged back, the golden light swept over the heavenly boat, and actually cut off a piece of the head of the heavenly boat, and the heavenly boat lost control and began to fall downward.
The magician who was fighting with the links envoy obviously didn't expect Chenguang to have such combat power, his golden shield was mainly used to resist the attack of the links envoy thunderbird, at this time the heavenly boat began to fall, he had to withdraw the shield and control the operation of the heavenly boat with all his might, and the links divine envoy took the opportunity to several heavy lightning strikes, burning a piece of the stern of the heavenly boat.
The heavenly boat fell on the desert in front of Fort Wick in black smoke, and in the morning light, I saw the young prince walking out of the heavenly boat, and raised the head of the Emperor Cissai to the surrounding Mitarion soldiers, which caused bursts of cheers from the Mitarion soldiers.
Niu Er trembled all over, looking at this scene blankly, but Chenguang turned around and said to Niu Er: "This place is dangerous, you leave first, and I will go down to find others." ”
As he spoke, he was about to float down. The Links Oracle came to him and stopped the morning light. The links envoy said something to Chenguang, but Chenguang couldn't understand it, and was in a hurry, Niu Er said behind him: "The links envoy said that the reinforcements from North Shiland and Westland are less than ten miles away, and they will arrive soon, and the 10,000 reinforcements sent by Emperor Jacktu in Middle Earth will also arrive around dawn, and we need to guard the back door of Fort Wick at this moment and hold on until the reinforcements arrive." ”
Chenguang said, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Before Niu Er could answer, there was a commotion on the battlefield below, causing the three of them to quickly stand on the terrace and look down.
It turned out that the third prince Satans saw that his father was assassinated, and the head was taken to the enemy camp to show the public, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, so he took hundreds of his own personal soldiers to open the city gate of Fort Wick, and went out of the city to take back his father's head.
Tens of thousands of enemy troops gathered outside the gates of Fort Wick, he went out of the city alone, where was there to survive?
It's a pity that the third prince has already been carried away by anger, and he didn't care about the dissuasion of the soldiers around him, and rushed out first.
The Mitarion army outside the city did not expect that the Belen army in the city actually dared to open the door to fight, and the few soldiers crowded at the city gate were cut into pieces by the sword of the third prince before they came to their senses.
The three princes led hundreds of personal soldiers, like wolves into the flock of sheep, straight into the hinterland of Mitarion's army, and everywhere they went, they were like quick knives cutting through the chaos and chopping waves, killing a passage in Mitarion's army.
Where had the Mitarion army ever seen such might, and the tens of thousands of soldiers surrounding the gate of Fort Wick avoided one after another, and even let the three princes rush over like this.
Between the front of the Mitarionian army and the central army, there was a clearing hundreds of zhang wide. The heir was far away in Mitarion, and the army watched the third prince rushing towards him, and he did not panic, but showed a smile.
A loud trumpet sound of the Mitarion army spread far through the torrential rain, and then, the Chinese army parted to the left and right, revealing a huge clearing, at the end of which was where the heir was, and on the other side, the three princes had already come to the Chinese army with their personal guard knights.
A strangely shaped cavalry slowly paced in front of the young prince from the left and right, hiding his and the heads of Emperor Hisai behind them.
This group of cavalry was not riding horses, but some strange beasts, the kind of megalodon beast they had beaten in the misty forest in the morning light was relatively normal, and some were even stranger, there was a kind of strange beast, with two heads, each head was like a giant python, intertwined with each other, spitting cores. There is another strange beast, which seems to be covered with a layer of steel armor, and the armor is full of protruding spikes, although it moves slowly, it is not daring to provoke. There is also a strange beast, standing upright on its hind legs, more than two feet tall, with forelimbs like a pair of hooks, and a mouth full of fangs, and a knight on its back holding a spear and a crossbow on his back.
There are about hundreds of these strange beasts, but the leader is a female knight in a strong suit, the female knight's mount is snow-white, shaped like a horse, but a spiral-shaped spike protrudes from the forehead, it is a rare unicorn in the world.
Unicorns are said to be the patron saints of the alpine forests of the Shuangbizhou continent, they are fluent in human language, understand advanced magic, especially the magic of fire and thunder, and once fought side by side with the human race thousands of years ago. This kind of divine beast is extremely rare, it has not appeared in front of the world for nearly a hundred years, and now it can be seen here, and it has become the mount of the Mitarion army, even the links oracle is surprised.
The three princes had already rushed to a place less than ten zhang away from the heir, and the female knight sitting on the unicorn waved the sword in her hand, and the beast knights rushed straight towards the three princes.
It was a clash of strength and power, and the storms were stirred up by the warring sides, and in the light of lightning, the hideous beasts, the furious horses, and the fearless knights moved the heavens and the earth.
Swords flickered, and men and horses fell. Even though the three princes and the knights under their command had unparalleled courage and extraordinary strength, in front of the steady stream of strange beast knights, they were like a lonely boat in the ocean, beaten and scattered in the huge waves.
When the third prince was alone in front of the strange beast knights who surrounded him, he still rushed towards the place where his heir was.
The morning light could only see the location of the three princes in the distance on Fort Wick, and after flashing, flashing, and flashing, the sword finally disappeared without a trace, and after a long silence in the Mitarion army, a huge cheer erupted.
Chenguang clenched his fists and couldn't help but tremble, and the links envoy on the side sighed. Below, the gates of Fort Wick's first ramparts opened, and Mitarion's army was swarming in, and farther away, the giant elephant horn of the Mitarion's army sounded again, and more Mitarion's army was coming towards Fort Wick.
The battle on the first wall had already begun to be decided, with the Mitarion's morale high, reinforcements continuing to climb the walls, and the Belém defenders suffering heavy casualties, and most importantly, they had lost their commander, lost their fighting spirit, and were only making a final resistance with the will to survive.
A goose-yellow figure floated to the top floor, but it was Amytis. She looked at the motionless Morning Light and the Links Divine Messenger, and said eagerly, "Why don't you fight?
Chenguang shook his head and said, "Emperor Xisai and his princes have fallen, Belen is already leaderless, and reinforcements have not yet arrived......"
Ametis interrupted him, "Even so, don't give up, don't you see that the people of Wickburg have taken up arms to defend their homeland?
Chenguang turned around and looked behind him, the thousands of soldiers on Mitarion's heavenly boat had all boarded Fort Wick, these soldiers were all the elite divisions of the Mitarion army, most of them were knights, warriors and magicians, although Belen also had hundreds of knights and magicians on the top floor, but it was difficult to match the Mitarion army in terms of numbers, the defense line was already precarious, and many Mitarion troops had rushed to the lower level.
Morning Light looked down through the passage, and Kaka's mother and daughter, draped in pots and pans, with large steel forks in their hands, were already standing at the entrance of the passage, fighting side by side with the defenders of Belém along with more civilians dressed similarly.
Kaka's mother's words echoed in the ears of the morning light, Fort Wick, home, life will not abandon, death will not leave. We can't give up fighting, we can't give up on them, we can't give up hope. The light of perseverance and faith ignited in Chenguang's eyebrows, and the golden stick in his hand shone brightly.
At this moment, a loud voice echoed over Wickburg, although this voice was not as deep as the vicissitudes of life of the Heater the Great, but it had another power that penetrated people's hearts.
Chenguang and Amytis looked in amazement at Niu Er, who had walked to the edge of the terrace on the top floor, as he held the gold medal and transmitted new power to the defenders of Belen like Emperor Hirsai.
Niu Er said a while, and suddenly turned back to Chenguang and said, "Chenguang, take me to the sky, to the sky above Fort Wick." He said this calmly, but with an irresistible majesty.
The morning light floated directly above Fort Wick with Niu Er, and the gold medal in Niu Er's second hand shone in the dim night sky, like a small sun, illuminating people's hearts in this stormy night.
Niu Er was still talking to the defenders of Belen, and the defenders of Belen, who were already exhausted and retreating, broke out again with fighting spirit. They no longer blindly resisted desperately, and began to retreat to the second wall in an organized and orderly manner.
The first and second walls are connected by a passage on each side of the top of the wall, and the passage is built according to the cliffs of the two walls of Fort Wick, all of which are made of huge stones inserted into the mountain wall, and then sleepers are laid on it, and the passage is more than a foot wide, and the war horses can also gallop on it.
As the Belen defenders all retreated to the second city wall, Niu Er gave an order in the air, and hundreds of magicians in the Belen army worked together to release a powerful attack to the center of the two passages at the same time.
The first wall was separated from the second wall, and the passage connecting the two walls collapsed, and the offensive in front of Mitarion's army was wiped out at once. They rushed through the gate of the first wall, only to be confronted by an even taller wall. Moreover, all kinds of siege equipment that were originally gathered in front of the first city wall and could be attacked from a distance were also difficult to play at the moment.
Mitarion also saw the change in the defenders of Belém, and a dull horn sounded again in the middle of the army, and a dark cloud suddenly rose from the middle of Mitarion's army, and pounced on the morning light and Niu Er in the sky.
