313: Breaking the city

Just as the Western Roman warriors were worried about the battered Cardinal Admeta, Elrens laughed wildly and opened his dragon's mouth, spewing a large cloud of scorching dragon fire at his enemies!

"Suffer death, god stick!"

Long Yan instantly rushed through a distance of several hundred meters and swallowed Admeta inside! The cardinal wanted to dodge, but he had been greatly traumatized by the previous explosion, and he was already dying, where could he escape? At the end, he could only let out a terrifying scream in the high temperature and flames, and at the end, together with the broken cross in front of him, he fell from the sky like a broken kite, and after falling into the sea, there was no more sound.

Faced with the destruction of the only remnants of the Western Roman warriors, the Chains and Cardinals, they were in despair, and more and more people abandoned the fortress and fled inland in terror.

At this moment, another huge tsunami surged from a distance! Not only that, but the Western Roman soldiers also discovered that countless mermaid warriors were riding tiger sharks on huge waves! In addition, on the relatively calm sea not far behind them, countless human warriors were rushing to the harbor on hundreds of small rowboats descended from a naval fleet, following closely behind the mermaid warriors!

The large-scale landing of the enemy was imminent, and the Western Roman warriors panicked and hurriedly controlled the magic cannons on the coastal defense fortress to open fire and bombard the enemy. But at this time, the floating fleet in the sky launched another salvo, and after losing the protection of the misty, the astonishing artillery fire covered the entire port, and the defenders of the fortress were completely suppressed by enemy fire, and the casualties were extremely heavy, and there was no talk of attacking the landing force of the opposing side at all.

At the same time, the three-headed black dragon who had just killed the cardinal came into action again, and they spun and rushed over the fortress. Aim at the fortress and spew out huge dragon flames!

The flames that rose to the sky completely engulfed the three-ring coastal defense fortress at once, and the high-temperature flames were pervasive, and the Western Roman warriors in the fortress had no way to hide. After the flames passed, there was no longer any resistance in the half-collapsed fortress.

"Wow ha!!"

Elrens flew and laughed wildly: "Brothers, rush into the city and sweep away all your possessions! Capture all the high-ranking clergy and nobles you meet as prisoners, and don't waste your time on the commoners!!"

The merfolk and human coalitions below also roared excitedly, and rushed into the dock on the huge waves, by which time Pescara could no longer stop their strength. Some people began to loot large quantities of goods piled up in the harbor. The main force continued to ride the raging waters and continued to move inland......

Fast forward to a few hours, and there was an extremely oppressive atmosphere in the Vatican near the city of Rome. A large number of high-ranking clergy have already received news of the enemy attack. They rushed to the Temple of Light to inquire about the situation, and everyone in the hall was talking noisily.

Pope Gregory VII walked back and forth around the throne in irritation, and after so much time, it was estimated that Pescara had already been broken by the enemy. It's just that I don't know what the casualties are now. It just so happened that Cardinal Admetta, who was stationed there, was alive or dead. Let's hope he escapes!

Gregory VII felt remorse at the thought of the destruction of the port of Pescarra, which had been painstakingly managed for many years, the looting of countless treasures, and the crying of hundreds of thousands of sons and daughters of the gods under the savage ravages of the enemy!

Knowing this, he should not have been careless in the first place, thinking that the enemy would not be able to invade on a large scale by blocking the ocean, and as a result, all his forces were concentrated at the north and south ends, and the central capital of Rome and the coast were almost unavailable, which led to the embarrassment of being overstretched and had to sacrifice Pescara to save Rome.

Just when the Pope was in pain. A high-ranking monk walked in from outside, and the chatter in the hall suddenly became much quieter. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the latest news. With a sad face, the monk said to Gregory VII in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the enemy has broken through the Mysteries of Pescara, Cardinal Admeta has died a heroic death, and thousands of defenders have been wiped out!"

Although they had been prepared for a long time, when the news came, everyone was still extremely shocked. It is a great shame that in the most sacred territory of the God of Light, there are thugs who dare to commit such a blasphemous crime!

"These demons who deserve to go to hell!"

Gregory VII was furious and said: "Where did the other party come from, and how many troops there were, did you find out?!"

The monk nodded and said, "According to the accounts of the merchant ships that went to sea before and some of the soldiers who fled the port in time, all kinds of signs show that the other party is indeed the army of the Olympia Alliance!"

"Bastard!" the Pope turned his head and glared angrily at Daedalus, and asked, "If it weren't for the delay of Holy Rome in attacking Thermopylae Pass, how could the other side dare to send troops to attack us? You told Frederick II that the date of Western Rome's official entry into the war was postponed indefinitely, and they must be responsible for all this! If there is any mistake in the city of Rome because of this, the Holy See will not give up easily!"

Daedalus did not expect that this was indeed the army of the Olympian League, and now the Holy See would definitely be angry with Holy Rome, and the power to support the emperor would be even weaker. If the enemy continues to attack Rome, the consequences will be even more unimaginable!

His face turned pale, and he still did not give up and asked, "How can you be sure that this is the army of the Olympia Alliance? It stands to reason that they can't be so risky!"

The monk sighed and said, "According to the descriptions of the escaped warriors, the design features and combat methods of the opposing floating fleet and naval fleet do not conform to the style of the Olympians. Moreover, Cardinal Admeta was killed by the other party's three-headed black dragon, which happened to coincide with the information we received about the appearance of a black dragon in Illyria!"

Gregory VII glared at Daedalus again when he heard this, and that expression was obviously to see what you were still arguing about. Daedalus had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Everyone knew that there were black dragons in the enemy's army to help, but they didn't expect that now there would be three heads all at once! Could it be that Dragon Island is really determined to join forces with Olympia, so that the outcome of the war becomes more unpredictable, and is the Holy See's decision to participate in the war correct?

For a while, everyone's mood couldn't help but be extremely heavy......
