"They're coming!"
Cardinal Leon temporarily took over the military power and control of the city of Niah. At this moment, he is arranging defenses and doing mobilization work on the city walls. If he does not come in person, I am afraid that the other party has not arrived yet. The soldiers were already so frightened that they could no longer hold on.
The proud people of the Cretan Empire have been frightened by the news that has been coming back from the front in recent times and the overwhelming power of the Holy Sevier Empire army. If the cardinal had not brought 20,000 church legions, there would have been He personally comforted the civilians in the city and told them that His Majesty the Pope and Her Majesty the Holy Lady were rushing to rescue them at this moment. At this moment, the entire Imperial City of Nyia had collapsed.
Two days ago, they had received a report from the scouts and knew that the Holy Sevier Empire's army would arrive here today. They were preparing the equipment needed to attack the city and quickly broke through the imperial capital of Niya.
Leon also knew that the human coalition forces were rushing here at full speed, but if they arrived too late, he would not be able to guard this huge city with tens of thousands of soldiers.
Not to mention, the opponent also has the Knights Templar and masters weapons such as artifacts that have transcended common sense and rules. Leon knows how terrifying it would be on the battlefield if a Saint led a Priest Knights.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The rapid bell rang, but it was just unnecessary. All the defenders on the wall had already been attracted by the army in the sky.
"Is it finally here?"
"Is that the army of the Holy Sevier Empire?"
"Is Will the Lion King already here? The legendary king of the orcs chosen by God, the chosen one of the Sword of Royal Power!"
At this moment, everyone was standing on top of the city, looking at the black dots appearing on the skyline in the distance. Several cavalrymen appeared holding high flags, and then more and more soldiers continued to emerge, occupying the area within sight. All horizons.
From the moment the skyline appeared, the sky was overwhelming. Enemies came like a tide, sweeping across all the land in their sight. There were densely packed spears, and the tips of the spears were so polished that they shone coldly in the sun. They represented a large number of the Orc Empire. The flags of various legions and families were blown upright and constantly swaying in the strong wind, making a hunting sound.
The most conspicuous one is the flag representing the Emperor of the Holy Sevier Empire. The golden lion flag with a red background is raised highest in the center. The Northern Paladins who followed Verdanti in the north and south are closely surrounding this flag. .
The sky near Niah City is now covered with dark clouds. Although it is just a common cloudy sky, at this moment, the people in Niah City feel as if the gods have given up on them, refusing to give them even a trace of light and warmth. The dark weather is oppressive. Everyone was breathless.
Cardinal Leon stood on top of the city, wearing a red cloak with gold patterns and scars from the battle on his face, which made his body full of majesty and chill. However, facing this situation at this moment, Leon's I also felt deeply overwhelmed inside.
"Emperor of the Holy Sevier Empire—Will Ilanberry!"
The sound of horse hooves resounded in the distance, and the horses neighed. They lined up, bringing up a lot of dust, and kept approaching the city of Niah. Hundreds of thousands of troops approached the city. This thrilling scene, all the soldiers present, including the red cardinal Bishop Leon has never seen it.
No one thought that the tens of thousands of defenders in their city could defend the city. All the elites in the city were killed in the previous war in the Dips Grand Canyon. Except for the people from the Church Legion, everyone else was killed. They were some young and strong recruits. Seeing this scene at this moment, just feeling the aura emanating from this army of hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of warriors made every one of them weak in fear.
A young man who had just put on his armor and picked up his sword said in a daze: "Oh my god, we are really going to die here!"
A middle-aged soldier kissed the sacred ornament on his chest: "God, please protect me!"
A recruit who looked like he had just grown up and had yet to grow a beard was shaking all over: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"
Cardinal Leon sighed. It seemed that he could not wait for the help of the human coalition. As the Cardinal of the Church of Light and the supreme commander of the Diocese of the Crete Empire, he could not escape under any circumstances. Representing belief in God and guarding the glory of God, even if he dies, he can only die in the city of Niah at this moment, in the war with the pagans.
Leon drew out his sword and roared: "Fight for God!"
On top of the city, soldiers from all the church legions spread across the city walls for several miles, drew their swords together and shouted in unison: "Fight for God!"
The air calmed down, as if I could feel the aura of the church legionnaires who looked at death and had firm faith in the gods. The remaining people also calmed down one by one. The power of faith can give people courage beyond imagination.
While everyone was waiting for the siege moment of the Holy Sevier Empire army, the Orc Empire army in the distance stopped. The defenders who had raised their spirits and courage were suddenly at a loss. At this time, someone immediately discovered another enemy. Movement on one side.
"Look, what is that?"
"Reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived!"
"They are the knights of the Church of Light and the coalition forces of our human kingdom!"
"That's the flag of the Church of Light, the Kingdom of Golden Rose, and the Principality of Kver..."
Sun-patterned flags and a large number of soldiers appeared in the southern sky. In the smoke and dust, countless human cavalry finally arrived at this moment. A large number of familiar signs and flags belonging to the human coalition appeared in sight. The mighty army came from the southern hillside. All the way down, heading towards the broad plain before Niah City.
At this moment, the Holy Sevier Empire's army also discovered traces of the human coalition and immediately stopped. Niah City is located on the Sumeron Plain, the largest plain in the Crete Empire. Outside, everything is plain, no matter how many troops there are, they can be accommodated here.
No one expected that the legions of both sides would arrive at the same time. The human coalition forces in the Church of Light area finally arrived before the scheduled time, blocking the progress of the Holy Sevier Empire.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"The legions of the Church of Light have arrived, and Her Royal Highness the Saint has led the army outside the city!"
"We are saved!"
At this moment, the defenders in Niah City were filled with tears of excitement when they received the news. Many people walked out of the house and cheered. The soldiers on top of the city also hugged and cheered. Everyone held their weapons high and thanked the gods and the church, as well as the frontmen. Her Highness the Saint, the blood descendant of God, came to save them,
Under the city, the combined armies of both sides, numbering over a million, collided on the Sumeron Plain. The human coalition forces and the Holy Sevier Empire army looked at each other, kept getting closer, and finally stopped.
Standing on the city of Niah, looking at this mighty legion, everyone felt a trembling excitement surge in their hearts. It was like a scene from a mythological epic, appearing in front of them in person, and like witnessing the heroes in the myth. It's like a battle, making people feel like they can't help themselves.
"Will there be a fight?"
"This will be a battle that will be recorded in mythical epics, and we are all witnesses!"
"Join the war! Join the war!"
Many knights of the church legion immediately proposed to open the city gate and join the human coalition under the city. Join the Church of Light and Her Royal Highness the Saint, and the barbarians and the heretics start a desperate battle! 8)
