At midnight, under the cover of the legendary magic - the Illusory Realm, the 50,000 Imperial Crusaders led by Mister and arrived quietly under the city.

"Looks like these wizards really have some skills!" Joshua looked at the towering wall in front of him and whispered to himself.

The last time they visited, there was only a low wall of less than three meters in this small border town, but now they were faced with a seven-meter-high wall.

It only took the wizards half a day to complete such a miracle with magic!

On the city wall, the bonfire was blazing, and more than 1,500 guards could be vaguely seen stationed on the city wall, and it seemed that no trace of them had been found.

The number of guards was much smaller than Joshua had expected, but considering that the musketeers had also suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, most of them should now be recovering from their wounds and being treated, and with the musketeers guarding the rest of the city and stationed in the city, this number was not much different.

A sneer tugged at the corners of Joshua's mouth, and the wizards probably couldn't have imagined that they had regained the strength of the Imperial guards in just ten hours, and launched a surprise attack overnight.

"Your Majesty Lucia, Judge Chief, do you want to attack now?" Sirid asked respectfully.

The distance of seven hundred meters is already the limit, and if they get closer, even if they are in the realm of illusion, they will be aware that something is wrong!

As for the lava dragon, Sirid let it stay ten miles away, and when the battle began, it would fly over again, and it would inevitably be perceived by the wizards.

Lucia stretched out her right hand, and the infinite divine light gathered in the palm of her hand, constricted into a thumb-sized ball, and then flew straight towards the towering city wall seven hundred meters away.

The soldiers on the city wall could only see in the dim night, a bright firefly was drifting towards this side, the speed was extremely fast, and the distance of seven hundred meters could be described as instantaneous!

Before they could even shout, the fluorescent glow swelled quickly and exploded!

Thundered. The deafening explosion resounded throughout the castle, the tall walls shattered under the impact of the powerful explosion, and the city gates were directly blasted open, and the rubble flew everywhere, forming a fog like smoke and rain.

Dozens of patrolling guards on the city walls were tossed to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion, blood splattered, and screams and wails resounded......

At the moment when Lucia made a move, the [Realm-Illusory Realm] was instantly shattered, and more than 10,000 Divine Punishment Knights shouted, "For the glory of the Lord!" Riding his horse into the open gate, his scimitar and sword slashed the guards to the ground!

Perhaps the timing of their attack was too sudden, and the enemies had not yet reacted, or perhaps such people had already been demoralized in the midday battle and had not yet recovered, and under this assault, without encountering any obstacles, the Holy See's crusading army had already entered the city!

It went so well...... Joshua's heart was filled with unease, and when they entered the city, they found that there were torches and guards placed in every street, but they did not meet any effective resistance!

No rows of muskets to fire, no artillery, and no wizards!

The whole city was 'silent', except for the shouts of the guards fleeing in all directions.

It's so weird that it's terrifying!

"What the hell is going on?" Seerid was confused, and he really didn't know what was going on.

And what about their enemies? What about the wizards?

Just as everyone was wondering, a group of brave Divine Punishment Knights captured the leader of the guards.

It was a middle-aged man in his thirties, slightly thin, with a slightly fat cheek, he knelt on the ground with a frightened face, kowtowed repeatedly, and said in a trembling voice.

"I surrender, Your Lordship...... I give up! I beg your forgiveness for my sins, those damned wizards have cast spells on us to force us to help them guard this town......"

"Enough!" Joshua interrupted the man's argument and asked indifferently. "Tell me, where are those wizards?"

"They...... They had already left fifteen minutes earlier in a kind of flying house. The emaciated middle-aged man replied with a wince.

"You're saying they've run away?" Joshua frowned slightly, and said in surprise.

This is not impossible, after all, the power of the Empire and the Holy See is far from being comparable to the minions of these demons, and it is normal for wizards to flee with the wind just after a rout and many wounded soldiers.

It was just that the timing was so coincidental, exactly fifteen minutes before they arrived.

Their luck can only be described as bad!

"Do you know which direction those wizards are going?" Lucia asked suddenly.

"Yes...... It's the north side! The middle-aged man replied hesitantly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the bishops present looked stunned, because the kingdom was to their west!

If you want to evacuate, you can't fly north anyway!

"Is there anything up there?" Lucia asked, confused.

"It's kerosene!" Joshua's expression was solemn, and he was a little suspicious of this after searching the memories of the captives before.

Because the wizards launched this counterattack, the first goal should be to recover the lost territory of the kingdom first, and the other two legions have been stranded in the kingdom before, as evidenced by this.

The only exception to this was the legion they encountered, which took the initiative to break into the territory of the Empire, targeting the Mister Territory, most likely for the sake of the oil.

"These wizards must be weapons of war who want to seize or destroy the Empire!" Sirid said with an indignant expression.

The importance of fire oil is self-evident, and in recent years, it has played a great role in the wars against barbarians and against foreign demons, reducing a large number of casualties.

Lucia shook her head, not reaping Sirid's guess.

Oil, while useful, is not enough compared to the cannons that wizards have.

"It should be the Wizards' Council that has found other uses for the oil." Lucia guessed.

In the last campaign against the kingdom, the Griffin Knights led by Aviddell brought a lot of fire oil with them, and nine times out of ten, they were captured.

Those wizards must have discovered some secret after studying this thing, so they were very eager to get it, and even thought that it could affect the outcome of the war to a certain extent, so they suddenly went to look for fire oil at such a critical moment......
