(9)(4) The Last Battle (9)
It is similar to the bustling city, but it is fundamentally different. +
Behind Ken was a war fortress armed to the teeth.
The gates of the fortress slowly opened with the ringing of three huge bells, and countless knights and soldiers began to pour out of the fortress in an orderly manner, and the crowd of human heads could not help but remind people of the scene of ants moving.
If you look closely, it is easy to see that these warriors who emerged from the fortress had one thing in common - they were dressed in armor with the emblem of the church.
It was not the kind of armor worn by ordinary soldiers of the Church, but the armor worn by the warriors who stood in several phalanxes behind Ken, without exception, the armor of the Holy Cross that only the elite knights of the Church could wear.
In addition to its high magic resistance, this armor also has small healing runes engraved with special means inside.
On weekdays, these runes are cooled, and they slowly absorb the free magic in the air. And once the battle begins, these runes will spontaneously transform into an active state. In addition to being able to heal some wounds quickly, it can also play a role in relieving mental fatigue.
Frowning, due to the appearance of Ken's inherent barrier, Law's location was also shifted from the center of the city to the city walls. As a result, the distance between the two has widened by several kilometers.
Looking at the strong soldiers and horses behind Ken, Lao waved his hand, and then the more than fifty-meter-high city wall was suddenly covered with black-armored crossbowmen.
"City Guards? That's interesting! Let me see if your crossbow arrows are sharper, or if our paladins are tougher!"
Even though he had no weapon in his hand, Ken still raised his right hand high.
"Paladins loyal to the gods, let's destroy the enemy's stronghold!!I will lead the charge!!"
With a volley in the air, a white Pegasus flapped its white wings and burrowed into Ken's crotch (well, you read that right, that's it.) )
Got on your beloved mount. Ken picked up a milky white dragon lance from his horse, exuding a divine aura.
There was no need to worry that the weapon would be seized by Rauna's strange laws again, and this time, Ken directly overlaid some of the laws of his inherent enchantment on the Dragon Hunting Spear to counteract that strange power.
The white Pegasi and the black-haired knights charged ahead, and the paladins behind them were not to be outdone.
At the same time, the crossbowmen on the ramparts launched the first volley.
The pitch-black crossbow bolts pierced the sky with corrosive black magic, and more than a hundred knights died in an instant.
However, this did not affect the progress of the other knights.
Controlling the horses to leap over the corpses of their comrades, the momentum of the knights did not fall but rose. Instead, he rushed towards the seemingly hard city with even more courageous momentum.
After a volley, the crossbowmen on the ramparts pulled their bowstrings once more, without the slightest relent. Then another terrible rain of pitch-black arrows fell into the phalanx formed by the knights. Although there were still many knights who were unfortunately hit by arrows, none of them cried out in pain.
As the distance to the city gradually decreased, the number of knights gradually decreased.
It wasn't until they were only about 800 meters away from the city that the indomitable knights changed their formation for the first time.
Led by Ken, who was charging ahead, the knights' phalanx gradually shrank together, forming a spear-like formation with sharp angles.
"Thank you for the sacrifices you have made for your fallen compatriots, and we will not let your sacrifice go to waste!!"
All the knights were shouting and shouting with tears in their eyes, and then. Starting with Ken at the head of the spear, a powerful light covered all the knights.
Even the black crossbow arrows that had taken away countless knights before were broken in two without any power the moment they touched these rays of light.
The light gathered more and more, and when it was only the last hundred meters from the city wall. The intensity of the light reached a peak.
It was as brilliant as an artificial sun, and even the laborers on the city wall had to choose to temporarily avoid its edge.
Then, feeling the great threat posed by the knights, Rau did not hesitate to abandon the crossbowmen and leave the majestic wall.
Under the city. The knights, who had gathered into the spear of light, had finally reached their destination.
There's no need to look for the gates, because in front of the Spear of Light, all defenses are useless!
After a loud "boom". The spear of light pierced directly through the walls and penetrated into the interior of the city.
And the crossbow archers on the city wall before also fell directly from a height of more than fifty meters because they didn't have time to dodge.
As for the other crossbow archers who were in positions that had not been breached, they were also caught off guard by the knights who were good at hand-to-hand combat.
"Bang bang bang. ”
He applauded Ken and the knights he led without hesitation, and Law, who had already left the city wall, played with his sideburns.
"It's a great military situation, and it's true that I'm losing in this area. ”
He generously admitted his defeat, but Lao suddenly changed his words and took out the code he was reading before, "But it's a pity that the victory in this battle can not only be won by military strength!"
"The crimes of sabotage of public facilities, homicide, and war crimes, the crimes you have committed are simply heinous! I pronounce that all the prisoners will be sentenced to death, and all the prisoners will be !!!sentenced to death."
After reading the above, Lao closed the code in his hand with a "snap".
Then, the knights who had followed Ken into the city suddenly grabbed themselves by the neck in astonishment, and lost their lives in a look of extreme fear.
The look of fear on the faces of these knights, who had fought to the last moment of their lives, was not because they were afraid of death, but because they were worried about the safety of their commanders.
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and although he was not directly wiped out by the power of the rules of Law's inherent enchantment like other knights, Ken still suffered a lot of damage.
Gracefully putting away the Codex in his hand, Law looked at Ken with the standard attitude of a victor.
But he was greeted with a sinister smile.
"When death is imminent, what's so funny?"
Shaking his head disdainfully, Lao thought that the opponent must not be able to accept this result and go crazy.
"I'm laughing... That's right, I do laugh..."
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, Ken sat down on the ground very simply, "Because, my task has been accomplished!"
"What!?"
Immediately after hearing Ken's words, the thought of the plan flashed through Law's head.
Sure enough, after a while, he lost the connection with the hexahedron that blocked Lu Jiu and the others.
Angrily, he used his fist to open a hole in the inherent enchantment, and where Lu Jiu was originally located, two figures, an old man and a young man, were smiling and waving at Lao Zai. Beside them, Lu Jiu, who had just woken up, had a fire of anger burning in her eyes!
