The moment Andre snapped his fingers, a cold light burst out from behind him, interweaving among the array of imperial guards at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye. The air flow vibrated violently, and the screams echoed like dragons.

Wherever the cold light passed, every imperial guard who was touched froze in place. In just a moment, sword marks filled every inch of the space where they were stationed, and finally condensed into one point.

Dinisha stood at the end of the cold light, the twilight sword in her hand reflecting the cold light.

"Tick tock." The cold evening wind blew by, and a drop of blood fell from the tip of the sword, splashing subtle blood flowers.

Dense bloodstains appeared on each of the imperial guards. If you look closely, you will find that the shape of the bloodstains is exactly the same as the previous trajectory of the cold light.

"Pfft!" Blood buds bloomed on all the imperial guards at the same time. Broken corpses were scattered all over the battlefield, and the blood soaked the scarlet moonlight.

With one sword blow, the elite guards responsible for protecting Perseus were completely wiped out, and there was no longer any barrier between the inside and outside of the hospital.

"What a scene...as beautiful as an oil painting." Andre allowed his clothes and body to be dyed red by the blood mist. He walked over the corpses on the ground and walked to Dinisha. They both lowered their heads and said nothing.

Looking up at the night, there is an extremely sharp contrast.

In this dead silence, another change occurred.

"Hugh -" Without warning, a scorching light suddenly rose from the horizon at the end of the sky, emitting a dazzling brilliance like the sun, almost lighting up the night before dawn in the royal city.

Andre looked into the distance, with the bright sun reflected in the child's eyes. He opened his arms as if to embrace the sky, and his voice was filled with unspeakable fanaticism: "My time has come!"

Siluke

...

On this bloody night, due to the sudden appearance of the plague beast in the royal city, the guards stationed in the city were already exhausted. Most of the soldiers entered the city and fought against the plague beast regardless of their own safety. Only a few garrison troops were left on the city wall as a follow-up.

Reserve troops.

After a night of bloody fighting, the air in the royal city became extremely turbid, frantically plundering the oxygen content in the blood, making people feel chest depressed and breathless.

"Hugh -" a sharp loud noise sounded from the distance, and the moment the scorching light penetrated the sky, the thunderous sound of horse hooves swept towards the royal city.

The soldiers of the Guards Corps who were left guarding the city wall looked over and saw a large number of stretching torches on the horizon. The overwhelming military flags were illuminated by the firelight. These flags had different colors and obviously belonged to more than one legion.

The army swept across the border. From a high altitude, it looked like the entire land was burning, and the air began to be filled with the smell of sand, dust and gunpowder smoke.

The moment the army approached the city, the soldiers of the Guards Corps were finally able to see clearly the specific pattern of the flags. These were the regular legions of the Kingdom of Doguland, also known as "friendly troops."

If the armies meet on the battlefield, it will definitely be a scene worthy of celebration, but now there is an extremely sensitive issue - these legions are not under the jurisdiction of the Cardinal Province, and they should not appear around the royal city.

The legion soldiers outside the city were wearing iron armor and had cold eyes, like angry beasts that were ready to attack, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression.

Seeing this, the commander of the Guards Corps shouted sternly: "The royal city is under martial law. No one is allowed to approach. Return immediately, otherwise it will be punished as hostile behavior!"

A legion general outside the city responded loudly: "The royal city is in trouble, and we are ordered to serve the king!"

The commander of the Guards Corps asked back: "His Majesty the King has never asked for help from outside, what kind of king are you doing?!"

The general repeated again: "We are ordered to serve the king!"

The commander of the Guards Corps suddenly felt his heart sink rapidly. The "His Majesty the King" he mentioned was of course Perseus, and Perseus had never issued a summons to the provincial legions, otherwise he would have informed the Guards as soon as possible.

Legion.

These legion generals insist that they are here to serve the king, so the question arises, is the king they are talking about the same as the king they are talking about?

The commander of the Guards Corps immediately signaled to his subordinates, secretly activated all the heavy city defense equipment, and asked people to recall the troops in the city. At the same time, he shouted to the legions outside the city, trying to slow them down: "Brothers, the royal city was affected by the epidemic last night.

The beast attacked and the city was in chaos, but don't worry, the situation has been controlled. Once we maintain order, we will let all kinds of brothers enter the city."

However, King Qin's army did not accept this trick at all. Seeing that the city gate was closed, the general directly drew his sword and his voice resounded through the sky: "The bodyguard army disobeys the king's order and has the intention to usurp the city. All officers and soldiers in the army will follow me to attack the city!"

"

Amidst the endless war cries, King Qin's army surged towards the city gate like a flood. Their huge number made every guard soldier feel nervous.

At this point, any strategy is useless, only a bloody battle to the end!

"Open the heavy weapons and counterattack! Defend the royal city!" The commander of the Guards Corps gave the order, and the city defense heavy weapons troops opened up their firepower, and the explosions were so loud that they were about to tear people's eardrums.

As a city defense force in the capital, the Guards Corps is extremely well-equipped. It not only has heavy weapons made through traditional alchemy, but also modern weapons developed using Tianwai technology. The powerful firepower directly blasted the first batch of King Qin Army vanguards into primitive

Minced meat.

However, the gap in numbers between the two sides was too great. The main force of the Guards Corps was fighting against the plague beasts in the city. There were only a few hundred warriors left on the city wall, and they faced an enemy army that was a hundred times their number, and all of them were

The regular army is brave and adept at fighting and fearless of death. The effect of fire suppression is extremely limited.

The defenders had heavy weapons, and the siege also had heavy weapons. One after another, large ballistae were pushed out from the array of King Qin's army and aimed directly at the walls of the royal city.

"Boom, boom, boom!" With a deafening sound, hundreds of giant crossbow arrows struck. Their structure was extremely large, with a diameter of more than half a meter. They were made of refined metal. The arrows could directly penetrate the outer wall of the city wall, just like

The beast's teeth dug into the flesh.

For the strong walls of the royal city, this kind of point attack was not fatal. However, when the commander of the Guards Corps moved his nose and suddenly smelled the pungent smell of gunpowder, he realized that something was wrong.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!..." The explosions one after another set off waves of hot air like magma. The crossbow arrows shot into the city wall exploded one after another, and the flames stretched into sheets and raged crazily on the city wall.

These crossbows have been improved by alchemists. The arrows are filled with strong gunpowder. If they are inserted into the city wall, they will detonate immediately, destroying the wall structure from the inside.

Because it was buried deep into the wall, the casualties caused by the explosion were not large, but the purpose of this round of shooting was not to kill people.

There are ropes attached to the backs of these crossbows. When the gunpowder blows the wall loose, as long as the siege team pushes the crossbows backwards, the pulling force will be transmitted to the city wall through the ropes.

"Boom!" Under the blasting and pulling, large areas of the city walls collapsed, and countless rubbles fell, like onions being peeled off layer by layer.

At the same time, King Qin's army rushed to the bottom of the wall despite being hit by heavy weapons and began the battle to climb the wall.

Outside the royal city, it has turned into a battlefield!
