Not only this tavern, but also figures armed with weapons appeared in hotels in the city and in the narrow streets of the slums in the outer city.
For this operation, "Viper Cross" started planning weeks in advance with the help of the city defense team and the temple guards. The loose management of entering the city made it almost unimpeded for the spies to enter. These guys in disguise were all under the control of the elders. Operating under the command of Elvis, it is the elite unit with the strongest average strength in "Viper Crossing".
For this mission, Elvis dispatched almost everyone he could mobilize. Just after the orc Sauron's team left, they infiltrated into the "Temple" in batches. The total number has now exceeded one hundred. twenty!
But "Rose Cross" never knew anything about it.
One hundred and twenty special operations personnel might not be able to make any waves on the battlefield outside the city wall, but at this moment they became a deadly dagger thrust out of the shadows.
They tore off their disguised identities from various hiding places, divided their troops into two groups, and went straight to the gate in the other direction of the city, all the way to the inner city. They acted in tacit understanding without any nonsense.
At present, almost all the troops of the "Temple" are piled towards the main city gate in the south. Because the city wall under attack is basically in this section, the defense of the other gates can only rely on a dozen or so city defense troops. And when the "Viper Cross" group of experienced elites rushed to the west city gate, they almost killed all the city defense troops who tried to block them in one encounter, and then opened the city gate without any hindrance!
Elder Dean, who was leading the army outside the city, was well prepared. He waved his hand and ordered the cavalry to rush towards the west gate. When the cardinal on the wall realized that the west gate had fallen, it was already too late...
The cavalry troops were attacked, and even if the defensive temple guards rushed over now, it would be of no avail - they could only watch helplessly as this group of armored cavalry crossed the city gate and rushed in through the empty streets!
"They...they are going to attack the inner city!"
"Stop them quickly!"
Although he shouted this, the fall of the outer city was already an unstoppable fact - in the cold weapon era, the opening of the city gate basically meant the complete defeat of the defenders, not to mention that the "Rose Cross" is now short of troops, and even the cavalry is There were not many, so they could only watch the west city gate being opened.
At this distance, if you rely on your legs to run over to support, it may take five or six minutes to arrive... By then, the day lily will be cold.
The offensive at the main city gate stopped immediately after the west city gate was opened, and then all 2,000 soldiers were ordered by Dean to advance into the city.
So a strange scene immediately appeared: soldiers outside and inside the city were running desperately towards the west gate, one hoping to rush in, the other hoping to drive out - but the result was obvious. The cavalry troops who rushed in in advance directly blocked the "Rose Cross" "The support team of "The West City Gate has never been closed since then, allowing the infantry of "Viper Cross" to rush in continuously.
Elder Dean, who led this army, did not stop at the city gate at all, but directly drove the large army towards the inner city. The simple ladders that had not been used before were carried in one after another, and no one blocked their footsteps in the deserted streets. Within a few minutes, they rushed directly to the closed inner city gate and began to attack the city!
Until then, the church in the inner city
Only then did Zong and the cardinals realize what a stupid mistake they had made... But now they had no other troops except the more than a hundred guards in the inner city - such a predicament made the old guys who always boasted of their powerful power simply couldn't believe it. real.
Nowadays, simple prayer has no meaning. The remaining soldiers stepped onto the city wall to fight, and even the believers with little fighting ability pushed up. However, as the "Viper Cross" attacked three gates in the inner city simultaneously, the outnumbered temple guards soon faced the danger of morale collapse...
The conflict between the two major sects finally turned into a face-to-face confrontation, and the inner city wall became the last fig leaf of the "Rose Cross".
"It's not over yet..."
The Pope, holding a red scepter, appeared in the center of the church square in the inner city. He had already shown more signs of aging due to his continuous casting of spells to suppress the "Viper's Kiss", but now he had to desperately activate the "Holy Shield" array covering the inner city - the scepter struck at the center of the square. , a magnificent sacred aura rippled out, and a shield of golden light instantly appeared around the inner city, like a barrier that firmly blocked out enemies who tried to attack...
The remaining cardinals chanted scriptures in unison, stood around the Pope, and used their own magic power to maintain the shield.
"Hold on! We must wait until reinforcements arrive!"
Seven kilometers away, the battle of the "Holy Crusaders" has ended.
Encircling and suppressing the temple guards who had no will to fight with several times the force, the mercenary knights felt no pressure and even wanted to fight a few more times like this... because the equipment of the temple guards was so good: horses, armor, weapons , secondary weapons and even the accessories carried on the body are all incomparable to the "Criminal Army" knights.
The mercenary knights lived a life of hungry meals all day long, while the temple guards were supported by silver coins donated by believers. This class difference made the mercenary knights jealous, so they started to attack without mercy. , the temple guards who were almost caught were "accidentally" beaten to death, and then their equipment was snatched away.
Cardinal Claude of "Viper Cross" turned a blind eye to this. Instead of stopping him, he led his own guards and began to advance towards the "Temple"...
"These bastards of Rosecross bastards, they collaborated with Everta to use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks against us. Now it's time for revenge!"
"Charge forward! Charge into the temple! Everything there is yours!"
"Their city gates have been opened, and no one can stop us now!"
The team that was originally slashing around was attracted by the shouts and quickly gathered.
Some of them are truly ruthless people with no moral limits. Another group of people originally abided by the rules, but when the "rules" were broken and they were not held accountable, they quickly changed their roles and became a group of people hovering around. Vultures on the battlefield…
Roddy listened to the discussions around him and felt that the battlefield he was on was really full of primitive flavor. These guys who were originally separated from the "serf" class before the war were full of chivalrous moral principles before the war began, but during the war they were like wild dogs, gathering wherever there was a fishy smell, and tearing away any carrion, without even realizing it. There is something wrong with your own behavior.
