The strange soldiers of the First Legion of the Holy Cult made it all the way to the city of Solandaniel without any danger, and the emptiness in Correa surprised the Holy Cult as well, perhaps because they were not used to such a vast and sparsely populated place. The constant disguise of the Al Hira Army was originally to hide people's eyes, but I didn't expect it to be completely unnecessary.

The First Legion sent to Solandaniel was a special force, a hand-picked man from all over the army, who were agile and adept at raiding battles, not suitable for field warfare, but of great use in siege or street fighting. The army changed into the uniforms of the Holy Cult Army and waited patiently for the moment to launch a sneak attack.

Soon a small detachment of intelligence agencies joined them, and the head of the famous intelligence organization, Naros, came to the barracks in person. The military camp was set up in a very secluded valley, and although it was only a few dozen miles from the city of Solandaniel, it was completely undetected.

Narros has been operating in the vicinity of Solandaniel lately, and she and her spies have gathered a lot of information to get a clear picture of the city's troops and garrisons. At this time, there were more than 20,000 troops in the city of Solandaniel, which was more than the raiding force of the Holy Cult Army.

However, the city defense army has to garrison a huge city, which will inevitably lead to the dispersion of the troops, and there will not be many people stationed in each place. Naturally, the Holy Cult Army would not adopt the method of attacking by force, which would be equivalent to touching the opponent's hard place with its own soft place, so a sneak attack became the only way.

The intelligence organization did an excellent job, not only to make the situation clear, but even to instigate a city defense force squad, promising to be the internal response of the Holy Cult Army. Although the Cult of Light has not been very popular in Correa, there are still a few staunch believers among them, who not only help intelligence organizations gather information, but also help spies hide among the people.

At the same time as the Holy Army arrived, several mages infiltrated the city with the help of intelligence organizations, and two teleportation shafts were set up in and out of the city at the same time. Through the teleportation shaft, a small group of troops entered the city, carefully hiding in the ghetto.

On the night of the attack, it was the turn of the rebelled city defense team to guard the south gate of the city, and they opened the gate at midnight as agreed. As soon as the Holy Cult Army, which had been lying in ambush nearby, saw that the city gate was wide open, they immediately rushed out of the ambush and rushed towards the city of Solandaniel.

As soon as the Holy Cult army entered the city, they immediately dispersed, and launched an attack on important places in the city under the leadership of soldiers who had entered the city beforehand. For a while, shouts of killing erupted in the city of Solandaniel, and the skyrocketing firelight reflected the night sky over the city. The city guards stationed all over the city did not expect the enemy to be in the city, and it all came without warning, and so suddenly, that many people did not expect it to be an enemy attack at first.

Soon there was a riot in the city, and not only the Holy Cult Army was attacking, but some outlaws also took the opportunity to start smashing and looting in the streets. At first it was just riots and fires in the ghetto, but it soon spread everywhere and the whole city was thrown into chaos.

At this time, the city defense army was all mobilized, and groups of soldiers rushed to various accident sites, but whenever they arrived, they always only caught some of the ruffians in the city, which made the officers wonder, these guys are all locals, where did they get such boldness, this is completely illogical.

After an urgent interrogation, the city guards noticed that a mysterious force had entered Solandanire, and this force was the real initiator. The situation was quickly reported to the king, and the king was furious, he never imagined that under his eyelids had become a place where the enemy army could come whenever he wanted, and what were these city defenders doing!

The king himself ordered the city guards to immediately destroy the enemy forces that had infiltrated the city, and at the same time he also sent a part of the personal guard and some of the nobles' personal guards to participate in the battle in the city. So a street battle that spread to the whole city began to unfold in the streets and alleys of the city. These city defense troops are pampered in peacetime and do not have much actual combat experience, and when they meet the battle-hardened Holy Sect Army, which is higher or lower, it is immediately apparent.

What's more, the Holy Cult Army also has the help of magicians in secret, and soon the city defense army was defeated, if it weren't for the superiority of troops, plus the help of the palace guards and the nobles' private army, I am afraid that the city would soon fall. The battle in the city lasted until dawn, when the city defenders finally realized the fact that they were not capable of destroying each other.

King Correa also knew about this situation at this time, and it was the first time that he felt so embarrassed after being a king for so long, and he was actually quietly infiltrated into the royal capital by the enemy, and he also defeated the city defense army, which made him shameless. The most armed country on the mainland would encounter such a thing, and if you say it, you can't make people laugh at it.

But the facts are in front of him, and now he is simply not able to drive the enemy out of the city, let alone destroy it. Fortunately, there were still sensible people around the king, and some ministers urged the king to defend the palace and important areas first, and at least ensure that he did not lose the king, even if he could not destroy the enemy immediately.

Calming down, the king finally took the advice of his ministers, and he ordered his troops to shrink their defenses, first protecting the palace and the areas where the nobles lived. The warring sides were divided into two parts by a river that flowed through the city, with the northern part of the city being inhabited by the kingdom and nobles, and the southern part of the city being under the control of the Holy Army.

The two sides began to confront each other across the river, and the two armies built barricades on several bridges over the river, and neither dared to attack casually, and the city was divided into two worlds.

Although the city was divided into two sections, the walls were still connected, so the commander of the city defense army suggested going around the walls behind the enemy and launching a flanking attack. This suggestion was immediately adopted, and the city defense army sent troops, intending to go around the walls to the back of the other side.

At this time, the east and west gates of the city were still in the hands of the city defense army, and as long as they crossed these two gates, they were considered to have entered the territory of the enemy army. The city defense army expected that the other side did not have so many troops, and the number of people stationed at the city wall must not be large. As they expected, they marched along the walls without seeing any trace of the enemy.

This situation excited the officers and soldiers of the city defense army, and it seemed that the enemy had not yet thought of defending the city walls, and there was a high probability that this plan would succeed. Just as the army was hurrying forward, the leading soldier suddenly screamed, "Oops!" and then saw several soldiers sitting on the ground.

The advancing troops had to stop, and the officer who was supervising the soldiers couldn't help but be furious and shouted, "Why did you stop?

"Report to the sir, there is no way forward. One soldier said aggrievedly.

"What? there's not even a fart ahead, why don't you move forward?" the officer cursed as he pushed aside the soldiers and came to the front of the group.

A soldier pointed ahead and stammered, "This ...... Over here...... There's something ......."

The officer reached out in confusion and touched it, and sure enough, an invisible wall existed in front of him, and although it was not visible with the eyes, it was indeed there. The officer pushed hard, and found that the invisible wall was not moving, as solid as a normal wall. The way forward was blocked, which made the entire plan of action come to naught, no wonder the other side did not defend the walls at all.

This officer still has some insight, and he quickly reacted, this is a magician who has set up an enchantment, and it seems that there are magicians in the opponent's army. Correa's royal capital has never set up an enchantment, because Correa people have absolute confidence in their own strength, and they can see who on the mainland dares to attack Solandaniel.

As a result, Correa has always kept a distance from the Magic Guild and the Church, and the Church only conducts some missionary activities in the country, and rarely cooperates with the authorities. Unexpectedly, at this time, I suddenly saw the magic enchantment, which means that the magic guild has actually intervened in this war.
