Catherine stood in the center of the Royal Observation Deck, watching every move in the entire imperial capital. Since the Observation Deck was the tallest building in the city, when Catherine looked down at the earth from there, she always had a desire to conquer in her heart. The Observation Deck All around, the human soldiers who had entered the temporary position did not care about the more than 80,000 soldiers that the northern orc army had assembled. Instead, they focused all their attention on this beautiful woman wearing royal costumes. ,
Today is destined to be an extraordinary day. The Holy Alliance Empire will have its first female ruler today. Catherine will be crowned queen, becoming the first commoner in this huge empire with no royal blood. Queen,
Although Orlando, Luke and Catherine have a prior agreement, Catherine can only become the Emperor herself and does not allow her descendants to inherit this position. Once Catherine is no longer the Emperor, the position must be returned to someone with the royal blood of Fernando. heir,
"Queen Catherine, let's start now." Red said in Catherine's ear, while Pastor Maia stood beside him holding a gold plate in both hands. Inside the plate lay quietly a crown and a a scepter,
Today, Reid is dressed almost exactly like Master Ibel. He wears a crown covered with thorns on his head. This crown is called "Oracle's Faith" and is the first leader of the Church of Light. It was handed down from the reign of Pope Otto I, and the black bishop's robes inlaid with gold that Red wore, and the light yellow shawl embroidered with black tulips on his shoulders, were the nineteenth pope of the Church of Light. It was also used by the greatest pope in the history of the Church of Light, Frederick II. Frederick II was the first pope in the history of the Church of Light to crown the king at that time, which marked the influence of the Church of Light. Beyond worldly power,
With the war approaching, Catherine's coronation ceremony was naturally simplified as much as possible, but a few necessary procedures must still be carried out, otherwise the coronation ceremony would be too childish and lose its sacred meaning.
Reid drew mysterious magic spells in the air on his chest with both hands, and recited scriptures praising the Supreme God of Light loudly in his mouth. Those magic spells shone with golden light, forming a magic circle in the air, and with the thunder As virtue is chanted and cast, there will be more and more magic spells, and the magic circle will become more and more complete.
According to the procedure, Red should release a "Praise of Light" magic. This light magic with the same name as that book can make the target's body full of strength, his body more agile, his mind clear, and bursting out with infinite life force. However, due to Lei's De's strength is really the worst archbishop in the history of the Church of Light, so the time he needs to release this magic is enough to make a person doze off.
After finally completing this magic, a white light curtain rose into the sky, and Maiya, who was standing behind Red with almost sore hands, finally breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps forward with the plate in hand, ready to cooperate with Lei. De carries out the most important process, putting on the crown and granting the scepter to the soon-to-be Queen, Catherine.
But at this critical moment, a series of rapid whistling sounds suddenly sounded in the distant sky, and soon someone shouted loudly: "Enemy attack."
Red stood there so angry that he almost cursed. As long as he waited a few more minutes, he could complete this coronation ceremony, which was more symbolic than practical. By then, it wouldn't matter what the orcs did, but it happened here. At the critical moment, the orc's catapult launched an attack, and Red himself was at the center of the attack, but the ceremony could not be interrupted in any case, so Red had to pretend to be nonchalant, and picked up the trebuchet from the plate. Crowned with a redbud crown,
"Woo." A stone bullet weighing more than 100 kilograms fell rapidly from a high altitude. If nothing else happened, its impact point was where Red and Catherine were standing. Red raised the bullet steadily with both hands. Bauhinia Crown, but my eyes still couldn't help but glance up to the sky,
Seeing the stone bullet getting closer and closer to him, Reid's heart almost jumped out of his chest, but Catherine didn't move, and Maia didn't move either. As an archbishop, Reid, of course, couldn't move. At this critical moment, a colorful light curtain suddenly appeared in the sky above the royal viewing platform, shrouding everyone on the viewing platform.
Reid immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and put the crown on the head of Catherine, who was leaning slightly, with both hands. The stone bullet hit the light curtain in the air, and the soft light curtain suddenly burst out with strong light, and a powerful The magical power came out without reservation, "Bang." The more than 100 kilogram stone bullet made a crisp sound, turned into countless fragments, and disappeared in the air.
"Woo, woo." Two more stone bullets came whistling, but this time Reid was not worried at all. He knew that as long as the magic defense array of the royal viewing platform was activated, let alone a few stone bullets, Even level 9 magic can be completely defended, but Reid still felt a little guilty in his heart. After all, he is the most useless archbishop in the history of the Church of Light. This matter is simply a shame. I don’t know if Ibel is still there. If you were alive, would you give yourself a lesson as a student
Catherine took the "Eternal Morning" scepter from Red's hand and raised it high. Although the orcs' trebuchets began to attack at this moment, the human warriors in private still burst out with strong shouts. These shouts The voices came and went, and soon merged into one sentence: "Long live Her Majesty the Queen."
Catherine looked at the people around her with complacency. She had finally reached the pinnacle of power in the empire. Although she did not have much power now, it marked a new step in Catherine's entire plan. With the queen's With her identity, Catherine can carry out all her plans without any scruples.
Catherine raised a small white hand and waved it slightly in the air. The cheers in the sky immediately stopped at this gesture. Catherine looked around with her big bright eyes, and then started speaking loudly. coronation speech: "My people, the orcs have launched another attack. I believe you can see that the scale of the orcs' attack this time is unprecedented, but I am very happy, because this will be the last time the orcs die. The last ditch effort.”
"Yes, with your efforts, we have repelled the attacks of the orcs again and again, consuming their precious combat power. As we all know, the number of orcs is far inferior to that of us humans. This time they devoted all their resources to attack. Although the force was huge, with the largest number of troops exceeding 700,000, this was all their strength."
"I believe your companions who have fought in the Thunder God Fortress have also told you that when the orcs fought in the Thunder God Fortress, they used a large number of old people and children. Even when they arrived in the Imperial Capital, their army still had a large number of temporarily recruited civilians. , the orcs bet their future on today's fate. As long as we repel their attack again, the orcs will inevitably retreat. It is difficult for them to maintain the continuation of the entire race with their remaining strength, whether it is hunting or herding. , defense, we need enough orc males, and the future hope of these orcs is being exhausted by us bit by bit in the imperial capital."
"Huh." Just as Catherine was speaking loudly, a large number of stone bullets flew over. The human soldiers relied on those temporary bunkers to escape. There were heavy casualties for a while, but even their legs were broken by the stone bullets. , and no one snorted. Everyone was still listening to Catherine's speech in silence. Humanity's own trebuchets soon began to fight back. Above the central square, only the whistling sounds one after another could be heard, as well as Catherine's A crisp and feminine voice,
"Fight, my warriors. Every time we kill an orc today, our hope for tomorrow will be weakened. This is no longer an ordinary war, but a fight for the future of our humanity. As long as The fight will never stop until life stops, warriors, fight for our freedom."
"Fight for freedom." The entire central square erupted with a terrifying sound at this moment. The huge sound directly covered the entire sky above the imperial capital and could not subside for a long time. The orcs' stone-throwing attack slowly stopped. Of course, this was not The reason for that noise was because the orc army was dispatched, and the hand-to-hand combat was about to begin.
Of course, the Beast King knows the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. Now the orcs are unable to stop in this war of attrition and must fight resolutely. However, for the future of the Barbarian Bear Clan, the Beast King still made some arrangements. The mammoths originally planned to attack The legion was transferred out of the city again because the Beast King and Prophet Evan reached a consensus that even if all the other armies of the Barbarian Bear Clan were exhausted, as long as the 25,000 Mammoth Legion members were still there, the Barbarian Bear Clan could By controlling the Nantalun Prairie, you can intimidate other clans, and you don’t have to worry about repeating the footsteps of the Wild Wolf clan decades ago.
It was precisely with this plan that the Beast King mobilized all the troops he could mobilize. This time, the Barbarian Bear Clan dispatched a total of 280,000 troops, of which 15,000 remained in the North Talon Prairie to take charge of logistics. There are another 15,000 people stationed at the Thunder God Fortress. There are 20,000 people responsible for the logistics support of the Nantalun Grassland. 10,000 people were lost when attacking the Thunder God Fortress. There are almost 20,000 people occupying Sunrise City. The Battle of Fernando City resulted in the most severe losses, with a total of more than 80,000 people.
Now that the Beast King has left 25,000 Mammoth Legion members and more than 5,000 wolf cavalry outside the city, he only has 80,000 direct descendants who can join the battle at the Royal Auditorium. But of course this is not the entire Orc army. The other clans of the orcs, under the dual influence of the force of the Barbarian Bear clan and the wealth accumulated by humans, also gathered 100,000 troops. The total 180,000 orc warriors left 30,000 people to control the North City District of the imperial capital that had been captured so far. All 150,000 were invested in this attack by the Beast King.
