Gondor.

Outside the royal capital.

Under the crimson sky.

It's a huge military formation.

Hundreds of thousands of legions have already besieged the largest city in Gondor.

In the east wall which is the main direction of attack.

Surrounded by several war priests, Christian was staring at the golden shield of the royal capital in the distance.

That's when it happened.

Vivien quickly came to her side.

"Lilith is ready to release the second forbidden spell."

"Christian."

"I see that under the attack of the first forbidden spell, the protective shield in the city has not changed."

"Even if Lilith puts a second forbidden spell, I'm afraid she won't be able to help this protective shield."

"Shall we ask the lord for Helen's help?"

"Let Lilith release the third forbidden spell?"

Hear Vivien's proposal.

Christian shook his head faintly.

"The protective shield of this royal capital of Gondor is indeed powerful."

"I'm afraid it's embedded with the power of the gods."

"My guess is that there's probably a fragment of Godhead as a supply of energy."

"That's why it's so hard to break."

"But Vivien, the Godhead Fragment can keep the hood unbroken as energy."

"But that's just for ordinary forbidden spells."

"And Lilith's second forbidden spell was refreshed through the fire phoenix."

"And the Fire Phoenix skill has been mutated when Lilith was promoted to demigod."

"The mutated Fire Phoenix skill, but after being refreshed by him."

"You can get a hundredfold damage."

"This damage amplification also includes forbidden spells."

"Other than that."

"Lilith uses a demigod staff."

"It comes with a Fire Mark skill."

"Each stack stacks 10% damage, up to a maximum of 100 stacks."

"The first forbidden spell just now has already covered this Gondor King with the mark of fire."

"Then wait for the second forbidden spell to be issued!"

"Vivien."

"Do you think this so-called broken shroud can stop it?"

Hear Christian's words.

Vivien froze.

"This~"

"It's horrible!"

Just when she was shocked by this.

At this time!

Above the sky of the capital of Gondor.

The crimson flames suddenly froze.

The next second.

An even more intense dark red flame appeared.

"It's coming!"

Christian looked at the sky and roared.

Vivien hurriedly looked at the royal capital of Gondor.

Under the dark red sky.

The shield, which originally emitted golden light, was like duckweed in the wind.

"This time!"

"I'm afraid that the entire King of Gondor will be destroyed."

"Lilith's forbidden spell is too strong."

She muttered.

And just as he sighed.

Christian on the side said suddenly.

"Cooper!"

"Open the Demonic Knight's Shield."

"Order the Demon Crystal Cannon Legion to warm up."

"The Crystal Gun Legion prepares!"

This surprised Vivien.

"Do it now?"

Christian shook his head.

"No, it's because I'm worried that the defenders in the city will fight back."

"Now the elements in the sky fluctuate, and the normal defenders know that they can't hold on."

"There's only one way to break the game."

"Gather the high-level combat power in the city."

"Kaesong fights back."

"Fight a hero who slashes and releases the forbidden curse."

"Only this way can they keep this royal capital."

"If you don't use it."

"Then in the end there is only one result."

"The city is ruined!"

Vivien listened and looked at the city wall.

"Really?"

"But Christian."

"If they go out of town!"

"Can we stop it?"

"Why don't you summon Iria?"

Christian smiled.

"Iria!"

"She has more important tasks."

As he spoke, Christian glanced to the edge of the formation.

Over there.

The elite Guardian Knights led by Aria were hidden in the Recon Cavalry.

Christian gave her the task of just that.

Once the enemy opens the gates.

The Guardian Knight must seize the gates as fast as he can.

And with her, there are also Fiona and Babas, a team of dragon knights.

Arguably.

Christian was ready for anything.

A trap was set up to make the defenders of the city visible.

"No, I'm stoned to death by a forbidden curse."

"Come out!"

"Cut off the retreat, and the gates of the city will be taken."

Right now!

It's up to the defenders in the city to choose.

And at the moment.

In the royal capital of Gondor.

Inside the main hall of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest.

A huge statue of the goddess of harvest is radiating a golden light.

And this is the eye of the Guardian Array of King Gondor.

As Christian guessed.

Inside this statue of the goddess of harvest is a fragment of the godhead.

It is by virtue of this fragment of Godhead.

It was only then that the defense of the royal capital of Gondor far exceeded the northern defense line.

In Old World times.

There is no record of the fall of King Gondor to the capital.

Part of the reason for this is this.

Of course, there are also reasons why Gondor is located in a remote area, and there are no high-level mages looking for trouble.

But no matter what.

The great array of the royal capital of Gondor can indeed discourage all enemies.

But today!

However, this royal capital is facing the first test after awakening.

And it is a test of life and death.

Under the idol of the goddess of harvest.

The face of the Harvest Goddess Divine Son, who is the Great Sacrifice, is as gloomy as water.

"I sensed an extremely powerful and evil force coming."

"Under this force, the king will be destroyed."

Hear this.

King Gondor, who was standing not far away, looked shocked.

He asked quickly.

"Your Excellency the High Priest."

"Could it be the goddess's guardian?"

The High Priest nodded.

"The Goddess has not fully awakened, and her protection for us is limited."

"Now, we must preserve the power for the Goddess to awaken."

"You can't all die in the capital of Gondor."

Hear this.

King Gondor knelt.

"Your Excellency!"

"I will keep my oath and protect the goddess with my life."

The High Priest looked at him with a deep gaze.

"If you want to die?"

King Gondor replied without hesitation.

"I will return to the kingdom of the goddess."

At this point, the high priest no longer tempted.

Instead, he said quickly.

"The awakening of the goddess requires sacrifice."

"I can use the seal of my lord bestowed by the goddess."

"Take a part of the sacrifice and teleport to the goddess labyrinth through the statue of the goddess."

"After that, as long as a new Blue Star Lord joins the goddess's camp, I can lead people out of the labyrinth, find a new territory, rebuild the territory, and gather believers for the goddess."

"But this teleportation can only bring a part of the sacrifice."

"And you, Your Majesty."

"I can't take you with me this time.

"But don't be sad, as long as I rebuild the territory."

"I can reawaken you through the goddess's kingdom."

Upon hearing this, King Gondor bowed his head slightly.

"I am willing to give everything for the goddess."

The high priest was pleased with his attitude.

Then he said.

"Turning on teleportation requires closing the protective cover."

"It will take some time."

"I want you to lead the legions in the city out of the city and launch a counterattack outside the city."

"Buy time for us to leave."

King Gondor replied calmly.

"I am willing to fight for Your Excellency."

After speaking, he got up and turned to leave.

And then.

The high priest directly summoned the goddess sacrifices in the city.

Wait together in the church hall.

And at this very moment.

There was news from outside.

"Report."

"Your Excellency, His Majesty King Gondor is leading his army out of the city."

"Fight back against the Legion of Lords!"

After hearing the news.

The High Priest decisively exported his strength.

The huge statue of the goddess was closed in the blink of an eye.

The golden light is dim, and the goddess at this time is like an evil god with teeth and claws.

The high priest then invoked the power of the goddess.

A teleportation array was projected into the main hall.

Rotate with the golden light.

The figures in the main hall began to disappear one by one.

Just when it was the turn of the high priest.

He shouted violently.

"All the troops are attacking!"

"Stay behind and destroy the royal capital!"

"Don't leave any resources for the Blue Star Lord!"

And at the moment.

Outside the city.

King Gondor on a war horse, wielding a great sword.

Behind it, there was an army of tens of thousands of gold.

He pointed ahead.

"For the goddess!"

"Kill these intruders."

In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves moved.

Between the galloping of thousands of horses.

The gates of King Gondor's capital were wide open.

Countless legions poured out of the city.

King Gondor bore the brunt of the attack, leading the Imperial Guard, charging directly towards Lilith's location.

But the next moment.

Above the sky.

Intense dark red clouds of fire began to fall.

Huge fire meteors smashed down violently.

The tens of thousands of golden legions, after losing the protection of the golden shield, were exposed to the fire meteor.

They simply didn't have time to dodge.

Directly smashed into pieces by the amplified fire meteor.

And as the king of Gondor.

After rushing out hundreds of meters away.

Even Christian didn't see it.

It was bombarded indiscriminately by a fire meteor like raindrops, and was directly submerged under the red flames.
