Welsh Moen was crowned.
At this moment when Ansu is about to overturn.
Part of what happened in the Golden Oak Hall finally spread. Under some intentional or unintentional control, the nobles who lived in the inner city but were not eligible to enter the Golden Oak Hall knew what happened. They knew that the king executed "treason Knowing that the new king had obtained the fealty of the Royal Knights before his coronation, knowing that Baldwin Franklin, Duke of the Westlands, handed over the king's golden crown, and Wales himself crowned himself-except for these superficial events In addition, only a few people knew about the purges that took place in the Knights Order and the imprisonment of several nobles after the coronation ceremony for treason.
In this way, there was finally a king on the throne that had been vacant for a long time, and the Royal Knights returned to the battlefield again in the name of the king. On that day, many pale-faced nobles came out of the Golden Oak Hall, and the previous noisy After that, the voices of the various factions were unified into one place, and the news about the "Southern Reinforcement Army" began to spread throughout the city, and the new king came forward to confirm the authenticity of the news.
As a result, the soldiers guarding the city were encouraged, and the noble children of various knight orders also settled down. The panicked citizens regained some courage a little bit. Safe Borders—Although all this is only temporary, this is what San Sunil needs.
A huge arcane arc split the air, accompanied by a strong flash of light and a series of explosions bombarded the southeast city wall, the huge shield of San Sunil rippled layer by layer, eliminating the impact of the arcane arc in the Invisible, leaving only a remnant of electric light licking the shield, escaping in the air outside the city wall.
The soldiers were reeling from the shock, and a knight wearing a cloak of the royal emblem was the first to get up from the crowd, raised his sword and shouted hoarsely: "Calista—enchanted arrows!!"
The knight's encouraging halo spread around, allowing the soldiers who were ordinary people to quickly recover their ability to move. The soldiers rushed to the nearest ballista and the platform piled with arrows, and began to quickly prepare to counterattack—the so-called "city defense ballista" "Arrow" is actually a standard-sized war spear. The steel arrowhead is inlaid with a little bit of mithril. The battle mage stands by the ballista, and when he sees the soldiers putting new arrows into the groove, he immediately gives those arrows The power of magic is injected into Xu Mithril.
With a "bang", the bowstring vibrated, and huge "arrows" with shimmering arrows shot out of the air. Before the magic power contained in the mithril was completely dissipated, they had already drawn an arc and fell into the gushing layer on the plain. In a wave of terror, a flash of light exploded at the falling point, followed by a group of small and large explosive fireballs rising into the air.
On the city wall, the knight raised his long sword again and shouted loudly: "Reload—aim!" "Let it go!"
The second round of enchanted crossbow arrows fell on the battlefield, and those huge arrows flew out together, as well as the large arcane missiles fired from the battle mage tower behind the city wall. The more grand flames of the regiment were exchanged for an equally grand counterattack—even frenzied monsters have the instinct to counterattack, and the arcane arc like a storm hits in an instant.
A holy white light descended just right, blocking those arcane arcs before they started to consume the large shield of Saint Sunil. Veronica, who was wearing a plain white dress, walked slowly up the city wall, her hands slightly Opened, the holy light floated in the air beside her, faintly resonating with the entire group of priests behind her.
"The priests are here!" The knight commanding the line of defense here yelled in surprise, "Everyone reset, reload, and continue to fight back!!"
A large number of Priests of the Holy Light in white robes and Holy See knights in white armor ran up the city wall from behind Veronica, and while releasing various magical spells to help resist the attack of the crystal cluster giant, they began to quickly heal the wounded soldiers —Even with the large shield of Saint Sunil, not all attacks can be blocked. Occasionally, the arcane lightning that penetrates the shield and the shock wave generated when the shield vibrates violently will cause casualties to the soldiers defending the city. And the priest who has the ability to heal is particularly important at this time.
All kinds of shouts filled the surroundings, sometimes mixed with the sounds of magic explosion, shield resonance, and crossbow firing. This hell full of death and war and the peaceful and peaceful Cathedral of Holy Light seem to be two extremes, while Wei Ronika was in it, her face still maintained a calm and holy look, as if she was not affected by the surrounding environment at all.
In fact, she was even surrounded by a substantial layer of "tranquility" aura, as if the peaceful environment of the Holy Light Cathedral had solidified on her body, and she came to the city wall with her actions.
"Just because there's a king on the throne..."
Veronica quietly looked at the scene of united efforts in front of her, and said softly in a voice that only she could hear clearly.
A mid-level priest wearing a gold-rimmed robe on a white background ran up to Veronica: "My lord! There were a lot of casualties on the western city wall, and the priests over there..."
Veronica smiled gently, and said in a reassuring tone: "You bring people to support, just leave it to me here."
"My lord, your safety..."
"You are here to protect this city, not me," Veronica interrupted, "Go, I won't be able to protect myself."
"… yes."
The group of priests left quickly, while Veronica stood quietly on the city wall where the fierce battle was in full swing. The power of the holy light slowly spread from her side, covering all the nearby soldiers and a part of Saint Sunil. The shield, this continuous and powerful holy light even surpassed the sum of the power of the entire group of priests. Under the blessing of the holy light, this line of defense quickly stabilized and even entered the stage of a powerful counterattack.
The knight commanding the defense cast a grateful look at Veronica, but he didn't have time to come to thank him in detail—if it was normal, the knight would definitely not miss this opportunity to talk and pay tribute to the "Saint Princess" face to face, but Now, the task of guarding the city is obviously more important than anything else.
Veronica just nodded slightly to the knight, then lowered her head, looking at the holy light escaping from her side.
The power of light is endless, even if you don't pray and guide it deliberately, they are also emerging and gathering naturally.
"The will to protect...is very strong," Veronica murmured to herself in a low voice, her fingers stirred a ray of holy light beside her as if she were touching something tangible. Believers of the Holy Light are also receiving equal protection...
"Will human beings' desire to survive exceed the constraints planned by the field of belief at this moment...
"Man is really guiding the Light..."
Veronica raised her head and looked at another section of the city wall not far away.
The new King Anzu, who was just crowned yesterday, stood upright behind the wall. He held the king's sword with both hands. His armor with intricate golden patterns shone in the sun, and the royal cloak with golden patterns on a blue background was behind him. Swaying slightly, while the king's golden crown is still worn on his head, heavy and solemn.
This is an extremely eye-catching outfit for any occasion. From a practical point of view, wearing such a bright armor on the battlefield can only quickly make you a target of the enemy, but here, only eye-catching enough to defend the city Only the best soldiers can see clearly where the king is and maintain high morale.
Whether it's the coronation of a new king, or reinforcement intelligence, or the strong control of the nobles by the Knights, the fighting spirit and unity brought by all these methods are temporary. This is an isolated city under siege, and there are endless enemies outside. Endless, no matter how tough the iron will is, it will be continuously consumed in this trapped situation, so the king must stand on the city wall in order to prolong this "temporary" as long as possible.
A gust of wind sounded, and Baldwin Franklin landed beside Welsh Moen with his flying technique: "Your Majesty, the shields on the western city wall have been recharged, and the wall is repairing itself. The defense line has temporarily stabilized."
Wales nodded slightly: "How about the casualties?"
"Three hundred and twenty soldiers were injured, and twenty-seven died on the spot, but the priests arrived in time, and the casualties did not increase further."
"What about the Western Wall?"
"Still intact, the shield blocks the most powerful blow."
The so-called west wall barrier refers to the defensive structure formed by including a part of the main city wall extending forward from the west section, plus the entire west side "Weibao", and the corresponding east wall barrier. These two barrier structures are San Sunil's greatest reliance in the face of attacks from the Plain of the Holy Spirit.
Wales breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back from the direction of the plain: "Keep this situation, and we will be able to hold on."
"But we will exhaust the energy of the mage tower on the fifth or sixth day, and the large shield will also be on the verge of its limit. After that, we can only use human life to resist."
"Seven hundred years ago, our ancestors took down this place with their lives, and there is nothing wrong with using their lives to defend it now."
Duke Baldwin's eyes stayed on Welsh's face for a long time, and finally said softly: "Your Majesty, almost everyone can't really see you clearly."
Wales didn't look back, but said quietly: "Actually, their judgment was right."
After two seconds of silence, Bedwin let out a vague sigh, and continued: "Your Majesty, if everything goes as planned, Duke Gawain Cecil's army will arrive in seven days. No matter whether they are How did it work, this army has the power to kill these monsters, and has the ability to quell this disaster."
"I know."
"... Well, it seems that this is also in your plan."
The city wall fell into a wordless silence for a while, only the shouts of killing in the distance and the whistling and explosions passing through the air one after another. After a whole few minutes, the voice of Duke Baldwin broke the silence: "Your Majesty, everything Prepare for the worst, if reinforcements don't arrive in seven days, are you ready?"
"Of course," Wales said calmly, "my name is Moen."
"Then Franklin is with you."
…
The dazzling stream of light formed by the "Calibrator" light beam gradually dissipated, and only a distorted trajectory remained in the air, showing that the terrible torrent had existed before. After the clusters of crystal clusters on the river bank that might threaten the armored cargo ship were eliminated, The entire fleet began to accelerate again, and quickly continued to move towards the north bank of the Gorgon River.
On the Pioneer, a huge armored griffin landed smoothly on the wide deck. A female griffin rider turned over and jumped off the mount. After handing over her partner to the supporting soldiers, the female knight walked not far away bridge.
A few minutes later, Amber came to Gao Wen's side:
"The Griffin Knight observed signs of large-scale fighting in a place far to the north. It is located on the west bank of the Gorgon River. It seems that someone is organizing to block the river bank to prevent crystal clusters from crossing the river—judging from the magical reaction, the party blocking the river bank has not fallen. into a disadvantage."
"It seems that the royal capital is not completely paralyzed... at least they still have the power to seal off a part of the Gorgon River to prevent the spread of pollution," Gawain nodded slightly, and said with some relief, "it should be the Duke of Franklin's western border. The Legion has arrived—the combat power of the Western Territory Legion is not comparable to that of the Eastern and Northern Territories, but it is at least one of the Legions of Protecting the Nation, and it is still possible to block a river bank."
Amber also nodded: "In this way, we don't have to worry too much about crossing the river due to pollution, and we can get to the north earlier..."
She was halfway through speaking when she saw an officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau rushing over. The operator had a strange expression on his face, and he was still holding a piece of information that had just been transcribed tightly in his hand.
Amber took the information, glanced at it hastily, and handed it to Gao Wen with surprise:
"Two major pieces of information.
"First, it may be because the fleet is approaching the intact relay station in the north. We have just resumed communication with the San Sunil liaison station. Although the signal is unstable, we can barely communicate.
"Second, Welsh Moen is crowned."
