Tinder City is built on the hillside, and the whole city is like a giant bird with its wings spread, looking down at the vast land around it.
Due to the mountains on the east and west sides, Tinder City has only two gates in the north and south directions.
These two city gates locked the only traffic artery linking the north and south of the eastern territory, and also established the key position of Tinder City in the military.
It is precisely because of this that these two city gates are designed to be extremely tall and majestic, almost like two military fortresses. Since they were built, countless warriors have fallen under them. Their courage, faith, and blood have been constantly Water it on the tall and simple city wall to make it more indestructible.
Pope Mensay was standing on the north city gate at this time, looking at the flames in the city and the sound of fighting, his face was iron.
As time passed, the chaos in the city became more and more serious, especially those flames that were spreading around at a terrifying speed.
The residents of the Velvet Army finally realized that something was wrong, and some people gathered at the gate of the city, shouting to open the door and let them out.
But the members of the Knights Templar guarding the city gate simply ignored the pleas of the civilians, and even killed those civilians who rushed to the gate and tried to open the gate without hesitation.
Pope Mensay watched this scene condescendingly from the top of the city, but he was completely indifferent.
Seeing this, Knight Paladin, the head of the Knights Templar, couldn't help but stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, this time we are confident enough to kill Colin St. Chapman. Why do you cooperate with those mages in making sacrifices? Why don't you open the city gates and give those innocent civilians a way out."
Mensay turned his head, glanced at the Paladin knight with cold eyes, and said bitterly:
"Is our target only Colin St. Chapman? Have you never thought about what kind of storm will be caused in the empire after Colin's death?"
The Paladin knight frowned, not knowing how to answer this question for a moment.
Pope Mensay continued:
"Our cooperation with the mage this time is not only to kill Colin Saint Chapman, but also to deal with the turmoil that will inevitably be caused after his death!
The Duke of St. Hilde, the Duke of St. Grian, and even Queen Judy will avenge him!
Faced with such a turbulent counterattack, are we really sure to deal with it now
Therefore, we must help the mages sacrifice Tinder City and occupy the body of Colin St. Chapman. Such a paladin's combat power is very important to us. "
The Paladin Knight's face changed for a while, and he spoke with difficulty after a while:
"Your Majesty, after bearing the crimes of the 300,000 innocent souls in Pedestrian City, can you really continue to serve the Supreme Lord calmly?"
"Yes!" Mensay replied without hesitation, "The majesty of our lord has been desecrated too deeply by some people, and has reached the most critical edge. In order to destroy the blasphemers and restore the glory of our lord, we Willing to bear any sin!
I believe that even if the Supreme Lord has seen all this, he will understand my good intentions! "
The Paladin knight stopped talking, but when he saw the crying and begging civilians in the city, the expression on his face was still very painful, and he seemed to be very resistant to the Pope's decision.
Seeing this, Mensayi ordered:
"Paladin Knight, if you don't want to stay here, go to the city and fight with the Blood Cavalry Army. I hope the blood of those blasphemers can wake you up."
The Paladin knight nodded upon hearing this, then turned and walked down the tower.
Not long after he left, fire dragons suddenly lit up outside the North City Gate, and then the ground began to tremble, and the sound of roaring horseshoes gradually approached.
Mensay knew that it was the blood cavalry army stationed outside the city who had discovered the anomaly in the city and came to support them.
However, he didn't panic too much.
As the strongest fortress city in the east, Tinder City is not so easy to conquer.
What's more, no matter how fierce and brave the blood cavalry army is, they are cavalry after all, and they are not good at siege is their disadvantage.
Even in Mensay's view, without a clear order, the blood cavalry generals outside the city might not have the guts to use their precious cavalry to attack the city.
However, the next moment, Mensay realized that he had guessed wrong.
After approaching the city gate, the blood cavalry army outside the city dismounted without hesitation, and then launched an attack on Tinder City.
Although it was unexpected, Mensay immediately commanded the Knights Templar at the head of the city to start a counterattack.
All of a sudden, the light of the knife flickered, the rain of arrows raged, and the cruel siege battle kicked off.
At this time, the battle between the Blood Cavalry Army and the Knights Templar in the city has reached its fiercest moment.
As the most powerful armed force in the hands of the church, the Knights Templar is indeed amazing. Not only are every member a knight, but they also cooperate with each other very tacitly. An invincible killing machine.
Perhaps the small number is the only flaw of the Knights Templar.
It is also because of this that Mr. Ji and the others will deliberately disperse the troops of the Blood Cavalry Army.
At this time, the number of blood cavalry left in Tinder City was about 10,000, which clearly had an advantage over the Knights Templar with only 3,000.
However, the complex and narrow streets in the city are not conducive to the cavalry's greatest advantage.
What's more, when it comes to the strength of individual soldiers, the Blood Cavalry Army is still not as good as the Knights Templar.
This is also the reason why the Church dared to act. In their view, the Knights Templar should be able to deal with these blood cavalry troops in the city before the two blood cavalry troops from outside the city attacked.
But as time went by, the situation in the city did not develop as they expected.
After joining the battle, the Paladin Knight discovered that the number of professionals in the Blood Cavalry Army far exceeded his imagination.
These professionals are uniformly covered by red armor, only revealing a pair of cold, emotionless eyes. They are even crazier and more fearless than the most determined and pious Templars when fighting.
These blood cavalry troops brought great trouble to the Knights Templar, and even made the balance of the battle slowly tilt in an unfavorable direction.
…
While blood and fire were raging in the city, a corner of Tinder City was still peaceful.
The fights and turmoil in the outside world seem to be isolated in another time and space, and cannot affect this place at all. .
Wearing a silver-white mage robe, Mage Cusius stood in the center of a huge magic circle, looking at the blood-colored smoke that filled the sky above Tinder City, chanting words.
Countless blood-red rays of light slowly gathered along the arcane trajectory on the ground, gradually forming a huge cocoon on the head of Mage Cusius.
The cocoon was trembling with the incantation of Master Cusius, as if something was eagerly breaking out of the shell.
