Chapter 90 The Holy Art of the Sun, the first battle in the Western Regions!
"This is……"
Luka's expression changed instantly. Naturally, he didn't know what the spell Xiao Zhan was about to cast, but he felt very uneasy in his heart. When the chanting of this spell appeared, this uneasiness became even more intense.
He must not be allowed to successfully cast this spell.
Luka's eyes became very sharp, and he almost disappeared from the spot in a flash. He planned to personally prevent the casting of this spell.
The demonic army was thousands of meters away from Xiao Zhan. As a sword master, Luka was very fast. When he charged up, he was like a black lightning. There was no cover for the terrifying aura of a saint.
"snort!"
Suddenly there was a cold snort, and at that moment Luka's expression changed as he charged unscrupulously. His mind was shaken uncontrollably, and the next moment someone appeared in front of him.
Sword Master!?
Luke was startled. He didn't expect that there would be a sword master in this team, and that the opponent's sword could be drawn faster than him.
"boom!"
At that moment, both sides used their strongest strength. Luka, who had obviously charged first, suffered the loss and was directly knocked away by a sword. If he hadn't been wearing magic armor with very high quality, I'm afraid that he just did that.
One sword strike would definitely seriously injure him.
How is that possible!?
Luka couldn't believe it. He was still very confident in his own strength, but the result was hard for him to accept. The two sides seemed to have almost the same level of cultivation, but the result of the fight was that they suffered a loss in speed. Luka couldn't believe it.
There are actually sword masters in this era. Didn't you say that you can't find the saint level? Why did you meet one so quickly?
"boom!"
At the moment Luka was knocked away, the chanting of the spell also came to an end. At that moment, sacred light appeared, and a sun appeared from scratch thousands of meters high. When the chanting of the spell was completed, it suddenly
Blooming with dazzling brilliance, turning night into day in an instant.
"ah!"
Suddenly, some demonized soldiers screamed in fear. The sun's rays shone on their bodies and their skin began to burn. It felt like they were about to be evaporated. The scene was very terrifying.
This is Holy Light!
Luka was very knowledgeable. Just by looking at the reactions of the demonized soldiers, he knew that this kind of holy light could evolve the magic power in these demonized people. The reason why it evaporated was because the demonic effect produced by the magic power was being lifted.
"withdraw!"
Xiao Zhan originally planned to go directly to the Western Regions, but before that he went to the Imperial Capital. The purpose this time was actually very simple. He was invited by the emperor to decorate the Sky Gate. The most pressing matter in the Western Regions was naturally the Empire.
, after all, this is the Western Region of the Holy Dynasty. Once the first phase cannot be controlled, the consequences will definitely be very serious, and maybe the entire Holy Dynasty will fall.
"The situation in the Western Region is very serious. Now it has deteriorated to the point where the entire Western Region is about to fall. This situation occurs mainly because the power of the demon world has penetrated into the military and political fields of the Western Region. They have covered up the facts. If it weren't for an accident, perhaps the entire Western Region would have fallen to the empire.
I can’t even react.”
The emperor's face was very solemn. The news came too suddenly. Everyone in the empire was confused by the news. They really didn't know what to do in the face of this bad situation.
The last hundred-year period had such a profound impact on the empire that it has not returned to its peak for decades. Today, the empire only has a few limited holy orders. Perhaps the top strength has improved, but the emperor does not have much confidence that he can invade the demon world.
The disaster is controlled within a limited scope.
Xiao Zhan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the situation was much worse than he imagined. It seemed that the entire Western Region was about to fall. If he went there soon, he would probably face the power of the demon world directly.
"It's hard to say about the temple. The Holy Temple will soon enter the Western Region. I will build a sky gate in the imperial capital. Your Majesty does not have to worry about being used by the demons. They cannot activate the sky gate at all. Even if we open it, they will
Being refused entry is definitely much safer than those traditional teleportation arrays."
Xiao Zhan just briefly talked about the safety of the Sky Gate. He did not guarantee anything to the emperor. Anyway, his attitude was very clear. Use it if you like. He is very busy now and has no time to waste with you here. The emperor might as well just do it.
, since Xiao Zhan was invited, he must have assessed the risks. No matter what, matters in the Western Regions cannot be delayed. If the demonic invasion force is really allowed to completely control the Western Regions, it will definitely be an unprecedented difficulty for the entire empire.
With the emperor's approval, the location of the Sky Gate was very simple, just outside the imperial capital. Obviously the emperor was still worried that placing the Sky Gate directly in the capital would be too harmful to himself. Xiao Zhan was very concerned about site selection.
If you don't care much about the matter, just handle it outside the imperial capital. This will save trouble. The next thing must be to gather the materials, which will take some time. After Xiao Zhan discussed it with the emperor, he returned to the Eye of the God of Law.
He will not wait there for the emperor to prepare all the materials, he will go directly to the Western Regions.
…
Xiting is the gateway to the Western Region. It is a real fortress. However, because the Holy Dynasty expanded its territory to the Tianjiao area two hundred years ago, this fortress has lost its former role. However, as the situation in the Western Region deteriorates, the Holy Dynasty
The purpose of re-building heavy troops and occupying this fortress is to make it a force to resist the demonic world in the Western Region.
Tevez was originally a general of the Western Expedition Army. When it was revealed that most of the Western Expedition Army was infiltrated by demons, he made a prompt decision and led his henchmen to control the West Court. Because of this merit, Tevez was officially appointed
He is the deputy general of Xiting, assisting His Royal Highness Prince Corel.
"The current situation is very bad. The Western Expeditionary Army has almost been controlled by the demons. The current commander is controlled by the demonized Luka. This man's strength is said to have reached the holy level. Once the news is true, when the Western Expeditionary Army begins to attack the fortress
At that time, we had no way to fight against it.”
Holy Orders are absolutely invincible in this era. The birth of any Holy Order will have a profound impact on the empire. Originally, the Western Expeditionary Army was very powerful in combat, but now the entire army has been demonized, and its all-round strength
The improvement is very terrible and cannot be compared with a normal army at all.
Prince Corel frowned. As a member of the royal family, he is very powerful and has an unimaginable reputation in the army. This is why the emperor will let him sit in the West Court Fortress, otherwise it will be someone else to face it.
The menacing demonic army had already trembled with fear.
"The demonized army has always been the most difficult type of soldier to deal with. They have no fear at all. At the same time, it is difficult for ordinary attacks to cause damage to them. To deal with such a demonized army, it is best to invite the sacred mage from the temple.
Otherwise we won’t be able to stop the demonized army at all.”
Tevez's face was very solemn. He definitely understood the terror of the demonized army better than others, so he had no confidence at all in guarding the West Court Fortress.
Prince Corel forced a smile on his face and said: "His Majesty has contacted the temple, and the temple has promised to transfer the mage army as quickly as possible. I know you want to say that the journey is far away, even if you use the teleportation array, it will take more than half of it.
Months of time, but the information I got is that the first person to come to the temple this time will be their divine envoy. You may not have heard of this person in the Western Region. He can summon Seraphim."
"Summon Seraph?"
Tevez took a breath. Seraph is the strongest battle angel in the legend. If the envoy of a temple can really summon Seraph, then it will be equivalent to a powerful god who can participate in the war against the demon world. This
Let a little hope spring up in his heart. No matter what, it is different when there are gods to help him fight, and the pressure from the demon world is much less invisible.
"I heard that this divine envoy sealed the demon world not long ago. If he can come to the Western Region, this will definitely be the best news for us."
"Sealing the Demon Realm? Is there something wrong with the legendary Lost Island?"
"Not long ago, the specific thing was not very clear. It was the envoys of the temple who took action to completely solve the problem of the demon world. If possible, the power of the temple guarding the Lost Island would also be transferred to the Western Region, so that we can fight against demonization.
The army will be more confident."
"But when will the power of the temple arrive?"
Although Tevez is very happy, if the envoy of the temple cannot arrive in time, everything will be too late. After all, if the West Court is captured, there will definitely not be many people here who can survive.
"This is not very clear. Your Majesty just told me that the power of the temple will soon arrive in the Western Region."
"I hope so."
Tevis sighed helplessly. He obviously didn't believe that the divine envoy from the temple could arrive in time. No matter what, it would take more than a month for the other party to get to the Western Region from the Lost Island. When the other party came, the Western Region
There is a high chance that the Court Fortress has been razed to the ground.
…
"Luca, the commander-in-chief's order is for you to take over the Xiting Fortress immediately. You must block the power of the Holy Dynasty from the Western Region."
An old man with red hair appeared in front of Luka. His eyes were terrifyingly cold, and his body was filled with a very evil force. Ordinary creatures would probably feel uncomfortable in front of him.
"Attack the West Court?"
Luka looked at the old man with some disapproval, shook his head and said: "This fortress can't stop my army at all. If I attack, it only takes one day to capture it. I don't understand. The commander suddenly gave me such an order.
What’s the point?”
The old man snorted coldly: "This is the commander's order. Just follow it. Why do you ask so many questions?"
A cold light flashed in Luka's eyes. He was very unhappy with the old man's attitude. This guy was so arrogant just because he was the commander's confidant. He was really desperate.
For a moment, Luka's eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light, and a power belonging to the Holy Order rushed out of his body. At that moment, the whole house seemed unable to withstand the power of the Holy Order, and became trembling.
The old man's expression couldn't help but change. He seemed to have just remembered that the Luka in front of him was different. This was a sword master. He couldn't see it with old eyes.
"Tell me why the commander suddenly issued such an order?"
The old man's face was a little ugly, but he still said: "According to the news, the temple will send an envoy this time. This is an envoy who can summon angels. Once the opponent really succeeds in summoning angels to fight, if we don't have the Xiting Fortress as a
With this support, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop the temple’s army at all.”
"What?"
Luka's expression couldn't help but change. If this was the case, his holy level would be useless. After all, he was an angel, the weakest and legendary level. Killing him would be like playing tricks. After hearing the news, Luka, who was originally very calm, could not help but change.
Naturally, Ka couldn't calm down, so he hurriedly said: "Go back and tell the commander that I will capture the Xiting Fortress soon."
…
The marching speed of the demonized army is very fast. It only took one day from the dispatch of troops from Luka to the level test in your Xiting Fortress area. This kind of marching speed would never be achieved by other imperial armies. The demonized army is all
Being demonized by magic, not only the appearance of each soldier changed significantly, but their physical fitness also significantly improved to a huge level.
Luka had nothing to hide, so he directly led the demonized army to march as fast as possible. This way, he would naturally be busy with the defenders coming from the direction of Xiting. Luka didn't care at all whether he was exposed. He knew the strength of the defenders in Xiting very well.
, as long as the demonized army attacks with all its strength, it can be broken through in one day. Of course, if Luca, a saint, takes action directly, I believe that a wave of charges can be done.
When he knew that he was very likely to face an angel, Luka did not hesitate or take any chances. He was not a pure demon warrior, but a lurker who came from the demon world. It can be said that demons are the purest demons.
So he knew very well what the lowest level of an angel was. If he, who was only at the holy level, really encountered an angel, he would be destroyed instantly.
…
"What?"
Tevez was stunned. He didn't expect the demonized army to come so fast. According to this marching speed, the enemy would be able to reach within a hundred miles of the fortress before the sun sets today. This means that the demonized army does not need to make any repairs at all.
You can kill them directly, so I'm afraid they can't stop them in the West Court Fortress.
Tevez quickly realized the seriousness of the matter, and he hurriedly called Prince Correll to discuss what to do next. As for what to do, it was actually very obvious. Now that reinforcements had not arrived, they could only rely on themselves.
Fortunately, the West Court Fortress has long been prepared for a war with the demonized army. For these soldiers guarding the border, they know very well how this war is different from the past. This is a battle that concerns everyone's life and death.
In this war, they have no way out. If they retreat here, more people will be massacred by the demonized army.
Just as Tevez had judged, the demonized army had already appeared within a hundred miles of the fortress before dark. This time, the demonized army showed no intention of making amends and actually came towards the fortress without concealment.
The pace at which the fortress was captured. It can be said that the demonic army acted in this way without regard to the fortress. They must have thought that this fortress could be easily captured.
The battle came very quickly. The demonized army did not know what fear was. They just set up their formation and quickly entered the battle. They seemed not to know what fatigue was. After marching for more than a day, they were able to directly invest in the attack.
City battle.
…
The sky in the Western Region is very beautiful, and there is no clue that this place has been eroded by the power of demons.
"What is this place?"
Xiao Zhan came out of the teleportation. The Sky Gate made him unable to feel the twists and turns of the teleportation at all. It was as if everything was just stepping through a door and appearing in a completely unfamiliar area.
"The deviation of the master's teleportation array is very small, so we must be in the Western Region."
Princess Emma was dressed in military uniform and her heroic appearance made Xiao Zhan's eyes light up.
This time Xiao Zhan brought the entire church. There were more than 3,000 people in this group, including 2,000 warriors and a little more than 1,000 magicians. Although there were not many people, the magicians
The lowest level is a great magician, and the lowest level of a warrior is a great swordsman. Such strength is still very powerful.
Of course, if he wanted to start a war with the demons with this little power, he would take it for granted, and he would definitely be crushed to pieces in minutes. However, Xiao Zhan judged that he would not encounter the demon army so soon, so the ones he had to deal with first should be the demons.
With the demonized army, this would be much easier.
Xiao Zhan has actually been to the Western Regions, but it was a very long time ago and he doesn't remember it at all, so memory is of no use at all. Fortunately, Xiao Zhan has the talent for truth and wants to determine which side is the target.
It's still very relaxing.
"According to my judgment, that side should be the West Court Fortress, and that side must have been occupied by demonic forces."
Xiao Zhan made a simple judgment, while Anne and other members of the Temple Knights had already dispersed.
"Master, according to our observation, an army passed here not long ago, and their destination should be the West Courtyard Fortress."
"If we go to the Xiting Fortress at this time, it will definitely be the Demonized Army. It seems that they are very fast. They are so eager to win the Xiting Fortress."
Xiao Zhan was a little surprised. The Demonic Army appeared here, which indicated that the entire Western Region should have fallen. It seemed that the situation was much more serious than the emperor expected.
What to do next is naturally simple. No matter what, we cannot let the Demonized Army win the West Court Fortress. This means that the opponent can march straight in. This will put too much pressure on the empire.
Xiao Zhan does not want the empire to fall into turmoil, which will not be beneficial to his plan.
What’s next?
Quick march?
Don't be ridiculous, Xiao Zhan thinks this is a waste of time, it will take at least an hour, and maybe the food will be cold when they arrive. Xiao Zhan directly uses the Sky Gate, which she has turned into a magical skill.
It is very easy to take away a group of people. Of course, this can be done if the teleportation distance is not very far. If it is too far, he cannot guarantee the accuracy.
