The next morning, the sun began to peek over the horizon, and the whining of trumpets sounded outside the City of Glory.

The 70,000-strong army of the Church began to assemble, and today is the day of the decisive battle between the Duchy of Jean and the Church.

While it's uncertain whether Zell succeeded in using the Teleportation Scroll to trap Gervais, Longfellow wasn't prepared to wait any longer.

Now that the Church has the upper hand, even if Gervais is alive and he takes action to contain him, the final result will still be the destruction of the Duchy of Jean.

"Ready to attack!"

After the front army was assembled, Longfellow looked at the more than thirty golden knights behind him, as well as four or five magicians.

This time, in order to help him complete the task of ruling this island, the temple did not hesitate to transfer a large number of thirty golden knights, which are the backbone of most of the new temple in the sacred continent.

These thirty golden knights are a powerful force for the Duchy of Jean at this time, because the golden knights of the two principalities are almost dead, and there are only two golden peak knights left.

"Yes!"

With Longfellow's order, the thirty golden knights and five magicians respectfully received the order and galloped towards the front of the battlefield.

……

On the walls of the City of Glory, the army of the Duchy of Jean has also been assembled.

"Gust, do you think we can hold it?"

The Earl of House Stanley swallowed hard when he saw the black, oppressive army of the Church at the end of the horizon.

"I don't know if we can hold it or not, but if the Church wants to storm the City of Glory, we must make them pay a terrible price!"

At the moment, there were only the four of them and a few Grand Commanders standing in their positions, so Gust was not worried that his words would hurt their morale!

They're already fighting their backs, so they don't have any choice.

When Gervais disappeared last night, they immediately discussed how to deal with it.

First block the news of Gervais's disappearance to avoid causing instability in the army.

At the same time, they also sent their own subordinates to start a full-body search for Gervais's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, Gervais's disappearance is exactly the same as that of Old Earl Jones, who searched through the entire City of Glory and still found Gervais.

What made them even more puzzled during this period was that they found Bernard in the blacksmith shop during their search.

And dozens of blacksmiths and hundreds of apprentices can testify that Bernard did not leave the blacksmith shop for even a second tonight, because he hurried to make artillery overnight with the assistance of several apprentices.

In this way, the real Bernard was cleared of suspicion, and everyone realized that there was something wrong with the 'Bernard' who appeared in Gervais's study.

However, even if he knew that there was something wrong with the man, it still did nothing to help him find Gervais, because the identity of the man could not be ascertained.

The search continues, but the battle doesn't stop with Gervais's disappearance.

It's just that without the existence of Gervais, the 'supreme combat power', if the church's Pope Longfellow does it himself, then there is no one among them, so several counts have a faint premonition of defeat in their hearts.

……

While the counts were talking, there were soon shouts of killing from outside the City of Glory.

The first siege teams of the Church began to attack.

The number of people in this wave reached 10,000, all of whom were soldiers of the original two principalities.

Behind the 10,000-strong contingent is the Holy Knights of the Church as the overseer team, although they are now only more than 2,000 people, but for ordinary troops, they can still be completely crushed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before the besieging soldiers reached the city walls, a dozen large trebuchets in the rear were the first to start, throwing huge stones towards the walls of the city of glory.

"Pass my orders! Order the first artillery squad to destroy those trebuchets! ”

"The second squad continues to be on standby, and once the enemy's siege vehicle is close to a hundred meters, it will be destroyed first!"

In Gervais's absence, the command of the artillery was left to the Lord of the North.

Originally, it was most appropriate to hand over such a thing to Alice, after all, it was Gervais's direct legion that used artillery.

However, because Gervais's disappearance hit Alice too hard, the Lord of the North did not let Alice come to the city wall to command.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

With the order of the Lord of the North, the first artillery squad of five small steel cannons roared, and one after another projectiles were fired out towards the trebuchets a few hundred meters away.

But after all, it was the first stone projectile shooting, and this round did not destroy any trebuchet, but fortunately, it can be seen from the landing point of the cannonball that the deviation is not very large, only ten or twenty meters away.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Reloaded, the roar of the cannon rang out again, this time with a cannonball hitting the church's trebuchet under the watchful eye of the crowd.

"Good!"

When the Lord of the North saw the scene in the distance, he couldn't help but praise it!

In the past, trebuchets were the biggest threat to the defenders, but with artillery, at least they didn't have to worry about the threat of trebuchets.

……

Amid the roar of artillery, the first infantry of the Church had already approached the City of Glory, clearing the stakes and filling in the trenches along the way.

The City of Glory sits in the middle of two mountain ranges, and there are no major rivers nearby, so there is no moat at all.

The stakes and trenches below were the first line of defense against the besieging team.

However, for a large number of siege troops, clearing these obstacles is just a trivial matter, even if it buries some more soldiers, the church will not be distressed.

Soon the besieging soldiers overcame the barriers outside the city and came under the walls.

At this moment, the really tragic offensive and defensive battle officially broke out.

"Musketeers, longbowmen shoot!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The soldiers of the principality on the walls began to vent arrows, ammunition, rolling stones, and wood at the enemy below.

And the besieging soldiers under the city were also not afraid of death, so they carried the simple siege ladder against the city wall and began to climb.

……

“”

"Almost! Pass my orders and let them start attacking with all their might! ”

Seeing that the first batch of cannon fodder had bulldozed the obstacles and started to attack the city, Longfellow felt that the time was ripe, and he was ready to take the city of glory in one fell swoop.

"Yes, Hall Master!"

Woo! Woo! Woo!

As the trumpet of the order sounded again, the 50,000 troops who were still waiting in place on the side of the church also set out, and slaughtered towards the City of Glory under the leadership of dozens of golden knights.

And this wave is the key to this battle, and hundreds of large siege vehicles alone have been used.

The Church was also well prepared for the attack this time, although trebuchets were not very often made due to the cumbersome craftsmanship.

However, the large siege engines that were as high as the city walls were in sufficient numbers.

As long as one-fifth of the number of such large siege vehicles successfully approached the city walls, it could be like a staircase for a large number of soldiers to continuously ascend the city, safely and quickly.

……

"Artillery Second Squad, destroy their siege vehicles for me!"

Watching the black and oppressive enemy troops in the rear swept in like a surging flood.

Whether it was the Lord of the North or Hayden and the others, they all showed solemn expressions!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

With the order of the Lord of the North, the five cannons of the second squad on the city wall also roared.

However, even with a sharp weapon such as artillery, it is still a drop in the bucket in the face of a large number of siege vehicles.

……

"Report! My lord, the western section of the city wall has been picked up by enemy siege vehicles, and hundreds of enemies have already climbed the city wall, and the reserve army has already gone to support! ”

"Report! My lord, there are a large number of golden knights in the eastern part of the city wall, and we can't resist it! ”

"Report! My lord, there are orcs in the city! There aren't many of them, but they're all over the city, causing a lot of chaos in the city! ”

As the war continued, half an hour later, the bad news was reported to several counts one by one.

"Don't worry about the orcs in the city! Defend the walls for me! ”

Hayden said in a calm tone.

The Lord of the North is in command of long-range weapons such as artillery, while Hayden is in charge of the overall battle.

They were able to deal with it when the enemy was small just now, but when the Church put all its forces on the ground, the City of Glory was immediately in danger.

In particular, the large number of Golden Knights in the Church is a devastating blow to the soldiers defending the city!

"Yes! My lord! ”

The herald quickly answered, then turned and hurried away.

"Lord of the North, you stay here just in case!"

"The rest of the counts and commanders, you come with me, and we will stop those golden knights!"

"Good! Kill one enough! If they want to take the City of Glory, then they must pay the price they deserve! ”
