Amid the spirits, bonfires and grains, the sluggish morale of the Holy Army was finally lifted again, and after witnessing Pope Theold teach rice to grow out of thin air from the ground, almost everyone firmly believed that he was a god Incarnation in the world. Siold made a speech on the spot.
He blamed the occupation of the holy city of the Holy Spirit Bay by a group of heretical barbarians as the most horrific warning before the end of the judgment, saying it was a signal that the world was coming to an end, and the day of the final judgment was coming. However, God is merciful, and despite his grief at the misdeeds of people, he is still willing to give his believers a chance to be saved, thus teaching food to grow from the barren earth.
This is the last chance for God's mercy and giving.
“…The fall of the Holy City was caused by the failure of our brothers who gathered here to be as one. This is our sin. If we want to be saved, we must put aside our cowardice and hatred in our hearts and work together to conquer the city of heresy. Fight. Please take up our swords, and don't let the poisonous mist of evil stand in our way.
Remember, God bless you and me. "
Under such a highly provocative speech, the Holy Army was not only afraid of the disaster of the destruction of the Holy City, but also immersed in the miracles shown by Siold, and for a time bravely plunged into the "final redemption" , launched a powerful attack on Jolin City.
The frontier holy army commander General Velaven watched this change, angry and fearful of Siold's power, and could only watch as his control of the army was taken away by the Pope. Siold has completely become the highest commander of the three armies, and the Holy Army is easily mobilized in his hands.
And after Pope Theold took over the command of the army, the results he achieved went even further to what he said, that God still blesses the world. Prior to this, the Holy Army had been firmly resisted by Legrand's multiple defense measures outside the city walls. When morale was at its lowest, it was even difficult to get close to the firepower of the opponent's tower.
Under Siold's command, they were able to briefly cross each other's moats, allowing the sappers to dig trenches under the towers. Although, soon, the Legrands in the city dug the trenches in reverse, curbing their movement. But it's a better start than before.
"Let our soldiers speed up the attack on Tower Two to cover the action under Tower Seven."
From the command post, Theolde methodically gave orders.
Sisean silently took down his every command.
Over the past few days, he had witnessed the Holy Army's fierce attack on the city of Jolin without fear of death, and finally understood why Siold was sealed off after receiving the news of the collapse of the Holy Court. Before the "Harvest Miracle", the internal contradictions of the Holy Army became more and more intense. The knights had been wiped out by the long war. The enthusiasm at the beginning, the Frontier Holy Army had other thoughts. And Siold wanted to use the destruction and miracles of the Holy City to make the Holy Army have no way out.
However, is Siold really helpless about what happened to the Holy City
Xisai'an was a little dazed. It was true that he didn't like the gloomy elders of the Holy Court, but as a believer who grew up in the Holy City, he still had some different feelings for the Holy City. And he had known The Olde for so many years, vaguely, and felt the shadow of an old friend in these shocks.
What role did The Olde play
Scythian suddenly realized that he never seemed to really know The Olde. I don't know since when, Siold has grown farther and farther away from him, becoming respectable and... terrifying.
He only understood one thing.
Now, Siold is no longer the Pope of the Holy See, but the Emperor of the Holy Empire.
"It's time to attack."
Siold looked at the map and said in an admiring tone.
…
"Within three days, they will attack with full force."
The king walked quickly on the top of the city, inspecting the towers. General Moore followed the king with a dreadful shield.
The commanding officers all disagreed with the king's personal command of the city, although Jolin City was in a defensive state at this time, not as dangerous as the frontal battlefield. But the city wall is still not a safe area. The boulders thrown by the catapult hit the city wall, and the flying debris and the collapsed tower walls often hurt the soldiers defending the city. In addition, the stray arrows can also hurt people's lives at any time. .
But after several attacks and defenses, the officers had to reluctantly accept the fact that the king ascended the city to command.
The offensive of the Holy Army has changed from the past, becoming fierce and powerful, but deceitful and changeable. On the bright side, the attack on a certain section of the city wall was actually to cover up the damage to another tower. It gives the impression that the opposing army has suddenly changed a commanding brain. If the king hadn't decisively accepted the command in person, keenly seen through the opponent's real target, and contained it in advance, the defense circle at this time would have been torn apart.
On the other hand, the king ascended the city to command the battle, which boosted the morale of the soldiers who defended the city.
A large part of the soldiers defending the city participated in the battle of Douro with the king, and they still remember the king's legendary performance and the heroic knights in the battle. According to word of mouth, they almost regarded the king as another spiritual belief. The belief that the king was with them suppressed even the onslaught of miracles performed by Siold outside the city.
At this time, anyone can be missing, but the king cannot be missing.
General More had to take care of the king's security, and after his provisional appointment as the king's guard, a group of officers came to talk to him almost in turn. Before and after, inside and outside the words, there is only one meaning "even if he dies, the safety of the king must be guaranteed".
In the short period of time defending the city, General Moore felt that he was ten years old out of thin air, and his heart went up and down because of accidents that occurred from time to time on the battlefield, as if he might become the patient of the group of neurologists due to heart problems at any time. .
- It is worth mentioning that during this period, the number of wounded increased and the battlefield situation became more and more critical. It was too late for them to transfer the soldiers from the city wall to the monastery in the city, and the monastery as a temporary hospital could not accommodate so many of the wounded. To this end, the head of the Pathology Research Institute, Pharmacist Duna simply took a team of medical staff to the city wall.
Right now, on the city wall, researchers in white robes that have turned gray can be seen walking quickly. In this case, the lightly wounded must be put into battle immediately after receiving simple medical treatment.
Everyone knows that this is the moment that decides the outcome of the whole war.
They have traveled such a long and difficult road, and even if they break every bone in their body, they cannot fall down at this time.
"Three days? Full attack?"
Moore breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then heaved a quick sigh of relief.
As time passed, the war stalemate, and the food in the city was also rapidly depleting. Quota allocation can only reduce the time when the stored grain is exhausted, but it cannot increase the stored grain. Once the food is completely exhausted, coupled with the tight front line, the confidence of the people in the city will inevitably drop sharply. This is by no means good news for Legrand.
It can be said that a battle that decides victory and defeat is destined for both sides.
However, the full force of the Holy Army's attack will take place within three days, a time that is still unimaginably urgent.
"Blasy is attacking the old capital, and winter is coming."
The king answered briefly.
The Holy Army couldn't stay in Legrand for too long. For the Holy Army, the war had better end in late summer and early autumn, but now they have dragged the war into the cold winter.
The currents in Abyss Strait will now turn within a week.
If Siold's all-out attack can be victorious, then he will take the first turn of the current with unprecedented glory and prestige, from the west coast of the Abyss Strait, back to Blasey, and rush to attack the Holy Empire before Ferry III. Before the capital, quell the war within the empire and consolidate the crumbling Holy Empire.
Time was of the essence for Siold.
The sky gradually dimmed, the setting sun spread on the ground, and the city was soaked with the smell of blood.
The king went into the tower in the northwest corner, took the bow from the soldier, and shot an arrow tied with a secret letter out of the city. The longbowmen who witnessed the king's arrow had to admire their majesty, even if he was already an experienced longbowman of Legrand, he could not shoot such a precise and straight arrow - even with those who are known as "ghosts". Compared with the Ya shooter, the king is also absolutely outstanding.
"A full attack?"
The king returned the longbow to the archer, and he looked at the smoke of gunfire outside the city through the archery hole, and whispered to himself in the muffled rumbling.
"Come on then."
Burning stone bullets slid across the sky, and the bright and dark flames illuminated the king's eyes.
Like fire on ice.
… … … … …
It was light and dark, and the Holy Army's offensive slowed a little the next day.
Siold walked past the iron chariots that had been moving with the Holy Army, marching no slower than the agile light cavalry. They are quite mysterious, quite low-key, and ignored by people until this moment, until this moment, Siold taught them to show their hideous fangs.
In the light of the torches, the light of these iron carriages flowed, and the body made of black iron carried a fierceness. As the formations were lit up one after another, the chariot transformed in place and turned into a moving war fortress. The iron armor spread, covering the war horses pulling the carriage, and the war horses let out a mournful whine, and in the whining, iron bone spurs were deeply embedded in the blood and flesh of the war horse. In the blink of an eye, all Xiong Jun's warhorses were absorbed into their flesh and blood, turning into skeletons armed with iron armor.
The iron carriage was covered in blood.
Like Legrand's dragon-winged battleships, these iron carriages are also a relic of alchemy!
In the age of legends, the most elite genius alchemists stood with the Rose family. However, there is still a part of alchemy that has passed to the Holy Court. The ancient sacred fire and the Throne Dock are based on these alchemy secrets kept by the Holy Court.
These chariots were hidden by Siold, and they were not brought to the battlefield until today. They are the "rooks" of this chess game, and they will flatten everything.
"All battle songs have their end, and all heroes have their bones buried."
Siold read softly.
The tone is light, like reciting an elegy.
He took the torch from Scythian.
"Siege."
The alchemy chariots crushed the earth and made a terrifying roar. Twelve chariots turned into twelve mobile fortresses and roared towards the city wall of Jolin under the night.
