Seeing that the army in Dragon Fire City had not yet reacted to the chaos, Xiwei immediately raised his sword and shouted, leading the knights, ordinary soldiers and players to launch an attack.

The other lords also led some of their elites to charge under the command of Kalant.

"Dong dong dong..." The intensive sound of war drums sounded, and under the stimulation of the battlefield atmosphere, both enemy and our soldiers forgot about life and death.

But war will kill people after all.

The archers and mages on the city wall are not blind.

The defenders of Dragon Fire City under the city wall are not paper tigers who can be killed casually. On the contrary, they are the best among the best.

Along with the shouts of charging into battle, sharp arrows and magic skills whizzed past the ears of players and soldiers, swords struck each other, bursts of clanging sounds were heard, and screams were heard everywhere.

Those who screamed were basically the militiamen under other lords. Almost all the Crusaders and players under Xi Wei remained silent.

There are fighting scenes everywhere, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The rain of arrows almost never stopped, they flew through the armor and uniforms, and sprayed blood in the air.

From time to time, the heads of enemy and enemy soldiers fell to the ground, and the lingering heroic spirits seemed to still roar in the hazy air.

A pair of blood-red eyes flashed with hatred on the ferocious face.

The smell of blood in the air is getting stronger and stronger, the battlefield is filled with smoke, corpses are scattered everywhere, and blood flows into rivers.

This time Dragon Fire City probably sent more than 20,000 Crusaders. Although they looked very healthy, the impact of the plague gradually became apparent the moment the battle began.

They are weaker than normal soldiers, their reactions are slower, and their physical strength cannot keep up.

What made them feel even more numb was that corpses began to crawl up from the battlefield.

It’s actually the undead! There are mages specializing in necromancy in the enemy’s army!

Fear began to spread among the military formations in Dragon Fire City.

On the other hand, although the soldiers on the attacking side were a little scared when they saw these undead at first, they thought that this was the work of the eldest prince and could be regarded as their own friendly forces, so they just moved out of the way and ignored them.

Moreover, Bobosa also deliberately controlled and allowed these undead to go around to the rear of the Dragon Fire City army. Soon, under attack from both sides, the Dragon Fire City army began to collapse.

Half of the dozen or so Templar Knights were killed by the cooperation of Xi Wei and the Terror Riders, and the rest were also killed by the other Sky Knights.

The army of Dragon Fire City did not dare to continue to fight, and sent another elite group from the city gate to step forward to support.

But a great magician under Calant's command had disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and came to the city wall under the protection of ten similarly disguised sky knights.

As the low chanting ended, a wall of fire more than ten meters wide blocked the reinforcements from Dragon Fire City.

The great magicians in Dragon Fire City are all trying their best to guide the energy in the magic crystal to support the city's defensive shield. The remaining magicians are not enough to support the soldiers outside the city wall. Ordinary mages and archmages are still entangled by the plague.

.

The reinforcements from Dragon Fire City had no choice but to retreat to the city and put up various defensive measures. They watched helplessly as their troops under the city wall were eaten up by the enemy not far from the city gate.

Sivi did not continue the attack on the city wall.

It would be a fool to fight at this time. If the Dragon Fire City defenders are cornered and the magic shield is withdrawn, and they choose to kill them with a wave of magic cannons, they will be blinded.

However, it seems that the commander of Dragon Fire City is still relatively stable. After all, there is a plague in the city now. If the magic shield is removed and the magic cannon is taken away by the catapult, then Dragon Fire City is not far away from being destroyed.

Xiwei put the giant sword back on his back and led the army to retreat to the moat near the city wall and ordered to set up camp.

Dragon Fire City is a safe barrier, but it is also a huge iron cage, not to mention that there is still a plague in the iron cage.

The Pope and his legions are already trapped beasts.

The next step is to slowly consume the strength of this beast.

Calante knew this very well, and he immediately sent the engineers accompanying the army to build a simple observation tower near the moat.

It was noon, with the scorching sun in the sky. The undead within the shooting range under the city wall had been cleared away by the Dragon Fire City defenders, but more undead were still wandering around the battlefield, making a heart-wrenching creaking sound.

A simple lookout tower has been built.

Calante observed the situation in the city from the observation deck. With his amazing eyesight, he discovered that the strength of the garrison within the city wall had been greatly reduced.

From time to time, priests in white robes came in and out of the military camp.

The plague of Bobosa has begun to show its astonishing power.

Although our own soldiers were also infected with the plague, it was not serious. Poposa made a potion that could temporarily suppress the spread of the plague, but it would take some time to fully prepare the antidote.

Kalant didn't have the slightest doubt about this. He had always believed in His Highness the Great Prince, just as he believed that he could definitely capture Dragon Fire City.

"Get on the trench-filling truck!" Calante stepped down from the watchtower and gave the order. Craftsmen in the main army's formation immediately pushed the trench-filling truck out.

The engineers also hid in the sturdy trench-filling vehicle and began to fill the moat under the protection of the vehicle's shield.

This section of the moat is very close to the city wall. If it can be filled in, it will be more convenient to attack the city.

For the wider moat, Calante ordered the engineers to begin erecting foldable portable trench bridges.

The construction of fortifications cannot be completed overnight. This construction took three days.

During these three days, Calante did not do anything. He ordered the lords to take turns leading their elites to the city gate to provoke.

In particular, a few strangers should be brought with them, and they should greet the eighteen generations of ancestors of the Dragon Fire City defenders with exquisite words.

He laughed at the cowards of all the defenders and lured them out to fight head-on. From time to time, he used siege cannons to fire a few rounds at the walls of Dragon Fire City in the middle of the night.

During these three days, the defenders of Dragon Fire City were in miserable condition. There were crazy harassment by enemy troops outside, and the plague was raging everywhere inside.

The Pope's holy water was only enough to protect the core army. Ordinary soldiers and civilians died one after another, and the undead even began to appear in the city.

In the end, the defenders of Dragon Fire City could only throw the dead bodies outside the city, which also led to an increasing number of undead outside the city.

Calante launched more than a dozen feint attacks in three days, each time with loud thunder and light rain.

He even asked the soldiers to pretend to be losing ground and provoke the emotions of the Dragon Fire City defenders. Gradually, the mental pressure of the Dragon Fire City defenders reached the extreme.

Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, Calant climbed onto the watchtower again.

He observed the status of the Dragon Fire City defenders with piercing eyes, and found that their faces showed exhaustion that could not be concealed.

All the fortifications have been prepared.
Chapter completed!
