Chapter 362: Siege and Counter-Siege

Appearing from the black canopy, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, making the high-level of the Apocalypse Sect anxious.

Also anxious are the left and right wings responsible for cover. Although the black canopy seriously obscured their sight and perception, there was no doubt that the main forces of the first and second central departments were attacked by the violent search and arrest group. According to the plan drawn up before the war, the clergy of the left and right ministries immediately began to move closer to the center and send reinforcements at any cost.

However, how could the violent search and arrest team let them get their way.

No sooner had the four hundred clergy on the two wings changed than the earth fell in the direction they were heading. Dozens of members of the violent search and capture group have long been prepared here, responsible for delaying them and preventing the two wings from reinforcing the center. Because the main forces are attacking the first and second departments, the members of these violent search and arrest groups responsible for delaying are far from enough in terms of number and strength. However, they were fighting at home, but they took out the Phantom Array Banner that had been prepared a long time ago!

The black canopy already suppressed the strength and perception of the priesthood. Within this barrier, the members of the violent search and arrest group responsible for blocking them summoned a nested small phantom array. With the dozens of summoned elemental creatures, the clerics on both wings were forcibly stopped.

The closest place was that they were only fifty meters away from the main formation in the center. But it was this distance that separated the left and right wings from the four hundred priests in the center.

Under the cover of this black canopy, the strategic intent of the violent search and capture group was realized almost perfectly!

Seeing that the battle situation was briefly under control, the high-level of the violent search and capture group no longer had any hands left. Taking advantage of the big pressure, an elite battle group composed of only a dozen people, but including two ninth-order and ten eighth-order powerhouses, unknowingly inserted from the combination of the first and second divisions, and suddenly launched an attack.

In the melee, such a master attacked in a group, and the effect was beyond imagination.

Accompanied by a bloody rain, almost instantaneously, more than a dozen priests were killed and severely injured one after another, including even an eighth-order priest. Following this open gap, the black-clothed men besieging the priests came in in a group, constantly expanding the results of the battle, and vaguely separating and surrounding them.

In a short period of time, there have been many omissions in the battle formation of the clergy, and some are even difficult to continue.

The ninth-order priests who led the team did not have the momentum they had before, but were exhausted in various dangerous situations, and they kept rushing to help. However, whether it was an all-out attack from behind, or a dozen or so elite warbands that were killed from the flank junction, the two ninth-order priests were like a fish in their throats, exhausted!

"Damn it!"

Although the high-level leaders of the Apocalypse Sect on the flying ship were covered by the shady curtain and could not see the specific situation in the enchantment, they could also think that those pre-emptive subordinates were being attacked by the violent search and capture group. After only observing for a minute, the commander-in-chief of the expedition of the Heavenly Apocalypse Order, the cardinal at the peak of the ninth order, issued an order to rush to the aid with all his might.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh divisions, a total of six hundred and forty priests, who had already been prepared, shouted in the name of the Holy Light, and fought into the barrier without hesitation in order to rescue their comrades.

At the same time, all the magic crystal cannons of the twelve flying ships were also mobilized, aimed at the intersection of the enchantment zenith, and began to bombard at any cost!

The power of the magic crystal cannon is beyond doubt, and each cannon is no less than the full attack of a sixth- or seventh-order master. Such an artillery bombardment alone may not be able to resist the enchantment carefully prepared by the violent search and capture group, but when hundreds of magic crystal cannons launch round after round of bombardment, the earth-shattering power is not something that the canopy can resist.

With the sound of explosions that resounded throughout the city, the sky could be seen shaking violently with each round of glow.

Noticing this, the higher-ups of the Violent Raiders also began to increase the power of the barrier, even starting to overclock it at any cost. Even if the constant formation is completely destroyed, all the two masters of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect's expedition must be swallowed!

In such entanglement, three consecutive rounds of magic crystal cannons, although they seriously weakened the power of the canopy, they still failed to break through in the end. Seeing this, the angry cardinal grabbed the air and summoned his Thunder Codex Divine Scepter, then took a step and instantly flew into the void a hundred meters away. A second later, with a low chanting, the holy light as bright as the sun, accompanied by the fluctuations of all-destroying magic, launched an attack on the canopy beneath his feet that was comparable to the power of the realm.

At that moment, the warriors of the entire green capital invariably looked at the side of Sanban Street on the coast, and were deeply impressed by the divine might!

In front of the holy light that fell like a waterfall in the Nine Heavens, the incomparably tenacious Heavenly Canopy Barrier was like ice and snow in the sun, quickly melting and shattering in just a few seconds.

Without the restraint of the enchantment, the countless black qi inside quickly dissipated. The clergy who were struggling to support it inside only felt light, and the world in front of them suddenly brightened. Losing the invading suppression of this black aura, the four priesthoods inside immediately regained contact with each other. The ninth-order masters also rose into the air one after another, quickly took control of the overall situation, and began to make continuous adjustments.

At the same time, the fifth, sixth, and seventh trilogy, which had been ordered to reinforce, also quickly approached the battlefield and launched an attack from behind the violent search and capture group. Just a few minutes ago, the situation was played out by them attacking the priesthood from behind. However, with a snap of his fingers, the Apocalypse Sect used its strong strength and absolute superiority to teach the masters of the violent search and arrest group a good lesson.

Now, the tide has turned!

With three more ninth-order masters, coupled with the fact that the Heavenly Canopy Barrier had been broken and reinforcements were also close at hand, the First and Second Priests, who had originally lost more than a third and were already on the verge of collapse, quickly regained their confidence and regained their position. As nearly a hundred masters of the violent search group were forced to turn around and defend against attacks from behind, the overall pressure on the clergy quickly decreased, and the situation began to tilt rapidly.

Immediately afterward, the clerics on the left and right flanks also broke through the few interceptions of the enemy and connected with the main formation in the center!

Judging from the flying ship where Lu Chengfeng was, the situation was already very good for the Heavenly Apocalypse Order. Although the innermost nearly 300 clerics were still surrounded, there were three priests outside, plus the left and right wings, totaling more than 1,000 people, who counter-surrounded the main force of more than 200 violent search and arrest groups.

It can be said that the masters of the more than 200 violent search and arrest groups, plus three of them of the ninth order, are already turtles in the urn, and it is difficult to fly with wings!

As long as they are eliminated, the main combat strength of the violent search and capture group will be lost, and it will be difficult to form an effective resistance. However, is the situation really that optimistic? Lu Chengfeng still has a little doubt in his heart. He had an intuition that the power of the violent search and capture group was definitely more than that, and they must have a backhand!
