Chapter 182 General Attack
Leicester City is the center of Turing County. Although there are not many believers living here, it is the area with the most concentrated power of the Scythe Bearer Church in the entire peninsula. It is also the location of Leicester Cathedral.
As long as this city is captured, the Scythe Bearer Church's faith within the kingdom will be declared destroyed.
At this time, the Cronin Army, the Crystal Army, and the three armies of Orne City were united under the command of the Silver Light Marquis Klimans. Julian returned the position of commander of the Cronin Army to Enya, and he needed to command it.
The Sentinel's Sorrow has been away for many days, and the extraordinary battlefield is his destination.
Since then, Julian and Ian and others parted ways. He left the army camp with the 11th Brigade, while the five of Ian stayed to protect Enya.
The noble legions of the Scythe Bearer Church are still coming from all over the country, but the three armies of the monastic order have been ordered to launch an attack on List City. The only ones that can stop them there are the Guards Regiment and the noble legions of 10,000 or 20,000 people.
and a high ancient stone wall.
It seemed easy to conquer before the reinforcements arrived, but the defenders of List City made up their mind to hide on the wall and could not get down. Klimans organized the army to attack for three consecutive days, killing more than 500 people.
There was no progress. Even the charge force composed of pure knights was defeated by the combined punch of the opposing knights and wizards, and the war became a stalemate.
From here we can also see the difference between the nobles and the Sentinel Knights. If Julian was still in charge of the legion, he would definitely organize all the lord knights and senior knights to serve as stormtroopers after one or two trials, even if he had to pay huge casualties.
Taking down the city gate, the nobles of Klimansi were more concerned about preserving their strength.
The next day, Clemans summoned all wizards and lord knights to discuss how to capture the most important fortress of the Church of the Scythe Bearer in the Three Counties.
"There is Krest Cathedral in Lister, which is also the headquarters of the Guards Regiment. Although there are currently only more than 10,000 troops stationed, have you seen the stone wall?" Klimans looked around and stood in the tent.
It was full of wizards and knights, a total of twenty or thirty people. These were the forces gathered by the Hydrian Monastery during the war, and the second legion, the real force of the Monastery, had been transferred back to the West Coast Theater in the past few weeks.
In other words, those who are attacking the church now are forces from the original church.
"This city wall is 13 yards high and 3,700 yards long. It protects almost the entire city. The city wall is made of hard basalt and has a reinforced magic circle carved by the church priest. Even the lord knight cannot destroy it on a large scale.
Now they are ready to wait for reinforcements. Do you have any ideas to break the city?" When no one responded, Kliman paused and said, "If we can't break it before the legions from other counties arrive, then we can
The situation on both sides will soon be reversed."
The other legion commanders are not stupid, this can be expected.
"Can the wizards of the monastery use magic to break the city wall? Aren't there 20 wizards here?" A lord knight said, and the others immediately looked at the wizards beside them and gave them hopeful looks.
The Awakened will not go to the battlefield. They have been protected by Klimans early in the morning, so they are not qualified to participate in this level of meeting. In other words, all 20 people present are gifted people. How terrifying is this?
of a number.
You must know that there are only 12 low-cost wizards in the Norton Hill headquarters, and there are only 6 talented ones. The rest are all from the West Coast. When did Clapham and the others train so many wizards? After so many years
No information has been leaked at all. What is their purpose?
The talented people of Norton Mountain remained silent, and Black Ward naturally stood up and answered: "This Legion Commander, the Phoenix Legion Commander has asked the same question before, so several companions and I have observed it from a distance.
Testing, I guess that it requires at least level six magic to break the solidified magic circle on the city wall, but this is not enough to cause the city wall to collapse. Maybe we need a super guard and a skilled array master."
As he spoke, he looked at Shirley. Everyone followed his gaze and turned to the people of the Cronin Legion. Only then did they discover that the wizards of the monastery were also divided into two factions.
One group has only five people, while the other group has more than three times as many (Abel's disciples Christie and Marcus followed Black).
"What do you mean?" the man asked.
Blake smiled and said: "Shirley Becky is the second formation mage of the monastery. She has mastered the seventh-level magic circle. If she uses the magic circle to destroy the city wall, we can get a gap to get in. But the other party
She is not stupid, and will definitely not sit back and watch us destroy the city wall, so there will be a large number of strong men sniping and killing Shirley from the city wall, so we need lord knights and powerful wizards to take the risk with her."
After hearing this, Shirley thought for a while and said: "This is very dangerous. It requires at least six lord-level knights to persist for ten minutes. I cannot be disturbed during these ten minutes. Commander Phoenix, can you do it?"
"
Clemans was the commander-in-chief, so Shirley asked him directly.
Clemans had obviously communicated with Blake. He nodded and said: "The Marquis of Meny will personally lead the team. A total of seven lord knights will escort you. Then four wizards will be selected to deal with witchcraft or magic. I will give you a separate
It counts as third-class merit, and other participants count as collective third-class merit, is that okay?"
There is no shortage of merit on the battlefield, but most of them are fifth-class or fourth-class meritorious service, which can only earn dozens or hundreds of contribution points. Once you reach the third-class meritorious service, your contribution value begins to soar by a thousand or a thousand.
This kind of opportunity does not come often, and those lords, knights and wizards suddenly saw their eyes gleaming.
However, Ian and others lost interest. After all, he and Shirley both had hundreds of thousands of contribution points, which was almost the sum of all wizards. Even Sheen, who had the lowest contribution points, had more than 13,000 contributions.
It's worth it, and the third-class collective merit has no appeal to them at all.
However, as the commander-in-chief of Clemans, Shirley could not refuse the reasonable tasks assigned by him, so she nodded: "Yes, but you should prepare double copies of the materials. I'm afraid of making mistakes."
"It's a mistake. If you want to take advantage of it, just say so!" Blake, who was in charge of supplies, secretly rolled his eyes. He had seen Shirley take action on the West Coast. He knew very well how powerful the other party's formation skills were. There was no such thing as a mistake.
She made it clear that she was not satisfied with a third-class job and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.
A level 6 magic circle material is worth at least 20,000 contribution points.
Clemans didn't dare to nod. He looked at Black and saw that the other party didn't express anything before agreeing: "Okay, you go and prepare. I will arrange another siege tomorrow, and we will just be among them."
Shirley nodded, told Ian and the others, and left with Black Ward.
Then Clemans selected the members of the guard from among the legion commanders. When selecting the wizard, he immediately approached Ian. He impressed Clemans too deeply.
Except for the lord knights in Orne City who have never seen Ian's methods, the River Spirit and all the lord knights in Sivir are a little afraid of this wizard who has killed at least two digits of lord knights and talented people.
After all, it was to protect Shirley, so Ian agreed without any hesitation. The other three were Jocelyn, Blake and Christie, all of whom were strong men in the monastic order.
The next day, Klimans indeed arranged an siege. In order to better attract the enemy's attention, the larger the offensive formation, the better. Naturally, it was almost impossible for the legions sent to survive.
The legion commanders knew this very well, so they made various excuses. Among them, Cronin's legion took away a large number of elites since Julian left, and there was only one lord knight left, and the legion commander was just a young man.
The junior knight who has just been promoted is a soft persimmon no matter how you look at it.
But Klimans seemed not to have seen it, and joined forces with the Marquis of Meny to force a few small armies up, while the Crystal Army and the Dorney Army followed closely and waited for the moment when Shirley and the others succeeded.
When the attack started, more than 3,000 people rushed towards Lister City like ants. It didn't take long for the opponent to fly with arrows. After two or three rounds, the number of people was reduced by 400 to 500 in an instant, which was really frightening. And our own archers also
Already in position, they began to fight back at the top of the city. Only then did the cannon fodder have a chance to breathe, and they rolled and crawled towards the base of the city wall.
Ian and others were among them. In order to avoid being exposed, the wizards were protected by knights as they moved forward. They waited until the large army rushed to the foot of the city wall and started building ladders before running to the other side of the city wall.
Stones, bows and arrows, rolling logs and hot animal fat fell from above as if for free. The soldiers who were hit immediately fell from the ladder wailing. Those who were lucky could be thrown to death alive, while those who were unlucky could only remain in pain.
Waiting for death in pain, but there is still an endless stream of soldiers climbing up the ladder...
An undead jumped down from the wall, and the opponent's wizard took action.
"I'm painting the pattern from a height of 8 yards. You two have relatively stable hands. You will be responsible for the lower part, okay?" Shirley looked at Christie and Blake. The three of them had fought side by side, so they knew
The other party’s details.
The two of them nodded and said there was no problem, so Shirley turned to Marquis de Meney and said, "Then the safety of the three of us is entrusted to you."
"No problem!" Marquis de Muni nodded, and then said to Ian, "You know the flying spell, and you can protect Shirley above with me."
Ian nodded, and everyone split up.
In order to draw the formation pattern, neither Shirley nor the other three cast a protective spell on themselves, so Ian followed her immediately after she flew up. As long as she reached the top, there would be falling rocks or sharp arrows from time to time. If Shirley hadn't
It's unlucky to be careful if you get caught.
They were still a long way away from the ladder, and the wizards at the top of the city hadn't noticed them yet. As soon as Shirley and Ian used the flying spell, negative energy fluctuations immediately alerted them.
"A wizard is approaching!!!"
The opponent's mental power quickly caught the abnormality here, and a large number of knights suddenly approached.
The most common thing in siege warfare and the one that needs to be guarded the most is the sharp knife team composed of strong men to prevent them from climbing the city wall, and the knights who are waiting on top quickly gather.
"No, these blasphemers are going to destroy the magic circle on the city wall. Send people down quickly to stop them." The wizard scanned the movements of Shirley and others and was immediately shocked.
Go down?
The lord knights at the top of the city shook their heads decisively after seeing clearly the situation below. There were so many lord knights gathered below, and whoever went down would suffer a big loss.
One of them said decisively: "Use thunder rockets to deal with them!"
At this moment, a strong wave of energy suddenly erupted in the sky in the direction of the monastery.
Chapter completed!
