Chapter 57: The Closing Cannon
The hazy moonlight cast dark shadows over the castle.
The sparks lit up on the city walls, painting a gilded piping edge for the majestic city.
This is the city of the church, Asteria, and it is said that this is the closest place to God.
Originally built to store the annual tribute to the Lord, after the unremitting efforts of successive popes, a small market town has become a city, and a city of glory not inferior to the royal capital.
The walls of the city are made of blue-black stone bricks. These stone bricks are made using rock cut out from the best mines in the kingdom, each piece is polished and processed by the faithful, and each brick carries the body temperature of the believer.
The ground is paved with pebbles from the bed of the longest river in the kingdom, each of which is the same size, and the sleek stones sparkle in the sun.
This is a holy place for believers, and every day, a large number of devout believers, in order to show their unwavering worship of God, come here on foot, kiss every inch of the city wall, and touch every inch of the land.
In Miyagi, just a wall away, the priests squandered tender lamb and red wine, and every day the maids washed the floor, and the water that flowed out of the floor was mixed with the gurgling red wine, and the cloth used was stained with the disgusting smell of food.
The customs and style of the cities of Asteria are very different from those of the rest of the kingdom. The Asterians naturally have a sense of arrogance, and look at outsiders with contempt and disdain. And outsiders should indeed be frightened, because they don't know any of the rules of Asteria, they don't understand the rules here, and they behave like hillbillies, and they should be looked down upon.
Soldiers patrol the city.
These soldiers are not the same as the lower soldiers of the kingdom, they are church soldiers.
The Order of the Church has the best knights in the country, as well as the best soldiers in the country.
If these soldiers are placed in the bodyguard market, each of them can be sold for three times the price of ordinary soldiers.
So they have their own pride.
This pride also made them unable to see the light that began to condense in the distance.
Inside the Misty Forest, the air currents created by the unstable air in the heat almost distorted the view.
Manic high-energy particles swirled in a vortex of air.
Within a radius of 100 meters, the protozoa had already sensed the danger and had already fled completely.
The culprit of this vision is a "monster".
【Exploding Beast】
Health: 200
Armor: 10
Attack: 3000 (slow to reload, strong to blast)
PS.3 level military technology under the mass production of bombing troops, mostly used for fire suppression.
PSS. Don't aim at yourself.
"Boom!"
After the high-energy energy mass was formed, it made a popping sound, like a meteor flying towards Asteria.
The soldiers on duty on the city walls melted like foam.
A large area of carefully carved city walls instantly turned into powder.
After completing this attack, the Blaster turned around and slowly crawled in the opposite direction.
It's done with its job.
As a backward class that has been disconnected from the latest natural disaster technology, the Explosive Beast has two ways to go, one is to return to the old lair to transform and upgrade to the latest type of heavy firepower, and the other is to return to the old lair to dissolve and be recycled into nutrients.
The arrangement of this exploding beast, the juggernaut kept it. After all, this kind of class, which has been discontinued, at least has the purpose of abusing vegetables, and the maintenance cost is not too high.
There was a "rumbling" sound in the distance, and countless wild beasts passed by the blasting beast and rushed towards Asteria.
These wild species in the misty forest, after decades of closed development, have inevitably lost their evolutionary paths, and they are all stupid and black, so they are called "fierce beasts" by the Kingdom of Altalia, and hunting a fierce beast can also take it to the guild to receive a bounty.
But this money is not so easy to make, and a fierce beast is not something that ordinary adventurers can deal with.
At this time, hundreds of fierce beasts were rushing towards Asteria.
These so-called "ferocious beasts", suddenly attacked by several frightened paw dogs, are now being driven in the direction of the kingdom.
Everything is running along the established path.
At the top of the city, a blackened soldier got up.
My brain was still dizzy, and my ears were full of buzzing sounds.
The earth is trembling.
Just now, the city wall was attacked by something I don't know, and he was swept out by the air wave, but fortunately he didn't fall under the city wall.
When he got up, he looked out of the city with confused eyes and muttered, "Mother, my son may not survive!" ”
……
On the second day, a bloodied messenger sent news to the kingdom:
The church city has been breached by ferocious beasts!
This exciting news naturally spread far and wide, and soon spread throughout the entire royal capital.
This time, there was no Church Order to help arrest the rumor-mongers, because early the next morning, the Orders were dispatched to the church city for emergency support.
For a time, the whole kingdom was in a panic.
The church city is one of the largest cities in the country, and if such a city is breached, what about the other towns? And what about those who farm in the countryside?
Anxiety pervades the country.
According to the people's minds, if this kind of thing happens, the royal family, the guild, the mage tower, and even the major knight orders, and the noble arm, should all go to Asteria together to help the church defend against the beasts.
However, the various forces, which were usually arrogant, have now become shrunken turtles, and for three whole days, no force has spoken out and come to claim this arduous and glorious task.
After three days, the various forces began to make moves one after another, and they all began to gather manpower, but it was as if they were suffering from procrastination, lazy and lazy, and did not look like this, slowly issuing notices, slowly registering troops, summoning troops, and even training new soldiers.
This gives people the feeling: drag, just drag.
The rescue force here is still slowly being formed, and on the other side, Dongfang Mu and Nia have already arrived in Asteria.
By the time the two arrived in Asteria, the first difficult moments had passed.
When the city was just broken, hundreds of fierce beasts poured into the city, and most of the residents of the city were killed and injured in an instant.
Later, after the knights from other parts of the country arrived, they relieved the pressure on this side and cleared out the gathered fierce beasts, leaving only a small group of fierce beast troops in the city.
Now, the Knights are counting the remaining people who still have combat power, forming a conquest force, and going to the city to search for scattered beasts.
It was in this situation that Dongfang Mu stepped on the break in the city wall and entered Asteria.
"Suck and suck—"
Dongfang Mu moved his nose, and there was a strange fishy smell in the air.
"The breath of slaughter." Dongfang Mu said.
"The wisdom of the Lord is really ......" Nya licked her lips with a sinister smile on her face.
Dongfang Mu looked at Lori, who looked a little savage: "What are you doing with this expression?" ”
"Huh?" Nia was stunned.
"Do you think that's cool?"
"Ugh."
Dongfang Mu slapped her twice on the back of the head and said, "Take it away, be serious, and you'll have to do it later." ”
"Oh." Nyoa obediently followed behind the Juggernaut.
The two of them were in good shape, and after a few ups and downs, they entered the interior of Miyagi.
