The Wind and the Clouds Rise Chapter 202 The soldiers are coming to the city, and the tide is surging in the dark

The Rock Fortress, one of the key passes in the area around the royal capital, collapsed in no more than half a day under the seismic spell of the Combined Mage Legion of Alestal.

Once again, the soldiers and inhabitants of Severintan realized that their old adversary was no longer as strong as it had been hundreds of years ago, but had unknowingly surpassed them by a considerable distance.

"Assemble, assemble! Assemble me on the walls, ballistas and crossbowmen, all on standby."

"All the alchemy puppets in the warehouse are dragged out, the destroyers, the guardians, and the construction machinery made by the older models of goblins are also dragged out, and the stored magic crystals don't need to be saved, and our mages don't need those magic crystal reserves, and they are all fed to those alchemy puppets."

"The Dead, the Dead Squad prepare, wait for all to ambush in the snow, prepare to sacrifice daggers, sacrifice everything you have to my Lord for the sake of Seventan, and there will be a place for you in the kingdom of God after the victory of the war!"

The sound of the commander's orders continued to be heard throughout Seventan, and the news that the Rock Fortress had been breached after not long to resist was undoubtedly a hammer that slammed into the already shaky will of the Seventans.

Despite the fearless nature of the Seventans, most of the ordinary soldiers and inhabitants were still hopeless in the face of a battle that had little chance of winning.

Even if the commanders' loud shouts were full of momentum and anger, they could not arouse the waves of numbness in the hearts of the soldiers.

"Men of Severantan, don't despair, we definitely don't have no chances, we have the royal capital on our backs, we have a logistical advantage that the Aleisters don't have, our supplies are endless, and they, if they use up a little resource, they will have less combat power."

At this moment, a passage without any waves, but with a firm voice, sounded in the minds of all the Sewintans in the royal capital.

It was, the king's voice, and no one knew how it sounded, but it shook their hearts and raised their heads.

"Moreover, we have an advantage that the enemy does not have, there is not a single legendary powerhouse in Arestler's army, and we have two legendary knights, they are ready to give them a fatal blow when Arestler is careless."

Legend? This word, which represents the pure strong, set off waves in the hearts of the Sewintan people, one person into an army, the legendary knight is an almost superhuman existence, this is the power of the legendary strong.

Having a legendary powerhouse that the enemy army does not have is indeed a very big advantage, and if the timing is right, the legendary powerhouse is enough to turn the tide of the battle, and they still have a chance.

"Most importantly, everyone, look behind you, this is your homeland, this is the land where we have lived for hundreds of years, are you willing to let this land, which carries your memories and history, fall into the hands of those damned Alestreurs!"

"Can't! For the glory of Seventan, let us fight to the death, even if we all die in battle, and we must not let the Alestrians set foot in our royal capital!"

The words of the King of China began to stir up in the minds of the Sewintans, and the hoarse cry and the extremely excited emotions gradually infected every Sewintan.

Their dark fighting spirit was rekindled, the blood in their chests began to boil, and the hatred for Leicester's army and the desire to defend their homeland made this group of people who were already dead move quickly.

The soldiers quickly returned to their posts, and the ordinary residents voluntarily took out the few supplies left in their homes, either passing them to the soldiers, or the men and women who were able to fight for them, and spontaneously joined the defense line guarding the royal city.

All the Seventans, inspired by the King's words in their heads, changed their previous frustration and despair.

They have forgotten who started this war first, and they have forgotten that even if the king is defeated, as long as they surrender, they will definitely not be killed, and even the kingdom will not necessarily change hands.

The Seventans were aroused by the blood, but at the same time, there were some things that they overlooked. ……

"How's that, those

The Sewintans haven't replied yet, the result is now obvious, what reason do they have not to surrender."

"It's not the era it used to be, even if the war is defeated, there will be no such thing as destroying the country, the Cult of Light will not allow it, and it is impossible for other human kingdoms and the four races to agree."

Kevin was caught in the Arestler infantry and followed the advance of the large group, and as a squad leader, his duties also included communicating with the commander and quickly passing orders through his mouth.

Considering the run-in problem, his commander is also one of the members of the Night's Blade, the Grand Knight, Garcia.

"There is no reply, the several letters of surrender sent into the territory of Seventan through different means have no result, unless it is unlucky that all the letterheads are lost, it is impossible that there will be no reply, so the other party should not have the slightest intention of surrendering."

Garcia's response was conveyed to Kevin, causing Kevin to frown slightly, and his eyes looked at the royal capital of Seventan, which had already appeared in the telescope's observations in the distance.

"It doesn't make sense, we all know the character of the Severants, they are very stubborn, and they are brave and fearless, but can't they understand this situation, they don't have any chance of winning, and surrender is not a bad choice."

"Isn't it...... The Void?"

As a member of the Night's Blade who has been dealing with the Void for a long time, and thinking of the strange courage of the Seventans not to surrender at this moment, it is difficult for Kevin not to lean on the possibility of the Void, an existence that can affect the mind on a large scale.

"No, as the blade of the night, it is impossible for us not to be aware of the existence of our mortal enemy, the power that affects the mind they have, and that should be the power of the righteous god they believe in."

"Kevin, you should have felt it, that kind of power that erodes the will, that is not void, or not completely void, that is divine magic."

Garcia denied Kevin's speculation and instead spoke his judgment.

"Magic? That twisted and strange power that evokes fear is magic, and the source of that power is not the Void Evil God?"

Kevin was a little shocked, as an existence that had been eroded by the pitch-black matter released by the strange dagger of the dead man, he knew even more about the evil of those substances, invaded the soul, and plunged the will into the cycle of endless fear, that kind of power...... It's too much like the Void.

"It's not the Void beings, it's what my teacher told me, it's a god."

Garcia's answer was firm and serious, and he was sure that the power that Seventan was using was not from the Void, but from divine magic.

"Father Fang's judgment, there should indeed be no problem, but what kind of god is that kind of power......

Kevin was silent for a moment, and did not ask any more questions, Lord Garcia's teacher, Father Fang, the archbishop of the Illuminati Sect, an expert in this area, should not be wrong in his judgment.

"Kevin, you must know that we are not yet victorious, arrogance is our worst enemy, and Seventan's lack of resources and difficulty communicating with the outside world do limit them from developing magic and alchemy like us, but definitely do not underestimate a kingdom that is a whole made up of countless possibilities."

"Their resources limit the development of their alchemy and magic, but on the contrary, they do not limit their research in magic and faith, several invasions from the Abyss Gate, those strange gods, don't forget, in this regard, I'm afraid it is Seventan who is ahead of us."

Garcia's words were quiet and serious, and the meaning in his words was very clear, which made Kevin, who thought he had a chance to win, nervous again, and a few drops of cold sweat flowed slightly on his forehead.

He understood that Garcia was right, that the mentality of some of the victors was vanished in an instant, and that it was too early to think about why the other side did not surrender before the real victory came.

"Don't be nervous, the advantage is still on our side, hold on, it's no problem to advance according to the plan, remember, our goal is to eliminate the threat of Sewintan, not to destroy Sewintan."

"As long as you attack the opponent's royal capital and break the opponent's defenders, there is no need to do other things, the lives of soldiers are precious, and they should not be sacrificed in unnecessary battles, you can decide for yourself, Kevin, I believe you will do it."

Okay."

At the end of the communication with Garcia, Kevin took a deep breath to calm his slightly fluctuating state of mind.

Their goal was not to destroy Seventan, but to defeat Seventan, there was no need for superfluous killings, which would only cost more Alestreus soldiers their lives.

Putting the communication device back in his pocket, Kevin ordered his squad to continue to move forward, and if they advanced another five kilometers or so, the royal capital of Seventan would enter the effective strike range of the mage regiment, and at that time, it would be the time for the whole army to press the siege together.

It was still the carriage that followed behind Arestler's army, but Father Fang had disappeared, and Garcia looked at the news from the royal city of Alestaler displayed on the communication device on the table inside the carriage, and his face was a little gloomy.

"Need a message of victory? The ceremony for the new senators has been set up and will be held at the time of victory in this war.......

Garcia looked at the content on the communication device, and his mood was a little complicated, it seems that the royal family of Aleister had expected something a long time ago, Seventan would not be Aleister's opponent, and the victory in this battle would be a merit to strengthen their prestige.

It's not that there is any problem, this war is going to be fought no matter what, and the news of the victory is only incidental, and it will reach the royal city anyway, but it is still very unpleasant to receive such news before the big war is about to happen.

"Forget it, so be it, I hope the teacher goes well, after all, if you don't handle it well, it will definitely be troublesome."

Garcia shook his head, no longer thinking about the disturbing news that did not help the situation at the moment, and continued to pay attention to the movement of Alestale's army at this moment, and he was also one of the commanders.

"King Seventan has entered the range of the mage legion, ready to start a disruptive attack."

Several mage regiments that had been prepared in advance stopped following the soldiers, and the royal capital of Seventan, which was about twenty kilometers away, had already entered their effective strike range.

Remove a few boxes of magic crystals from the supply convoy, which to the mages are ammunition.

"Whew!" Meteors of various sizes trailing their tails cut through the snow-soaked skies of Seventan, and flew through the airflakes to melt the snow into water before falling towards their targets in front of them.

The natural environment of Seventan has weakened the power of this conventional long-range strike spell, and the power of the fire elemental has been suppressed, but even just a stone ball falling from the sky is very lethal.

"Arestler's mage attack, obsidian shield! The other soldiers retreated."

The bombardment of the Flame Meteor spell that fell from the sky caused the Seventans to react quickly, and the enemy had arrived.

The black solid obsidian shield with some anti-magic ability was erected on top of the city wall, and these flame meteors were not large in size, and after being suppressed by the cold environment, they did not cause much damage to these obsidian shield walls.

"Bang! Click!" A hard stone ball the size of a head, burning with a little flame, fell from the sky and smashed down on the walls of the royal capital and the obsidian shield wall erected above.

The high-speed impact caused the orb created by the Flame Meteor spell to shatter and shatter before the obsidian shield.

And those soldiers who used their bodies behind the obsidian shield were only smashed back a few steps, their arms and upper bodies were slightly sour and numb, and the distance over which the spell was released was too far, even if it could strike, the original power of the spell was only one-fifth or sixth.

"Attention, the Arestrian army has been pressed, open the city gates, let our army charge, take out some of their weak soldiers first, and those dead soldiers, the Arestlers have entered the ambush area, move."

The Seventan scouts' vision broke through the wind and snow and spotted the Alestale's army coming from the snow-covered road in the distance, and nervously reported the situation, while the commander completed the arrangement according to the information

Several gates of the "Boom" royal capital were opened, and heavily armed Sewintan soldiers rushed out of it, the snow field was their home field, no matter how strong Alestale's mages were, but the strength of the soldiers was always better than Seventan.

Alestale's heavily armored iron rode swiftly across the snow, and thanks to the blessing of spells, the snow environment had no effect on them.

"Puff puff." The surrounding snow suddenly cracked, and many Seventans emerged from under the snow, raising their daggers in their hands and rushing at the galloping heavily armored iron horsemen.

The strangely shaped daggers that these suddenly sprang out of their hands were already familiar to the Alestalers, and were used to release the strange substance that polluted the mind, which had caused Alesteller a lot of losses before.

Without a wordless tacit understanding, the iron cavalry quickly exchanged positions between each other, and the cavalry with a special mark on the armor pushed to the front, and without the slightest hesitation, they directly collided with the dead soldiers who rushed out.

They are members of the Night's Blade, worship the Night Lady, and have the protection of the prayer network, and they are the plan to deal with the pollution.

The horses crashed into the bodies of the dead soldiers, taking the lives of these vulnerable enemy soldiers away, and the brutal final battle began.
