The Rock Fortress, one of the important passes established by Severtan in the area around the royal capital, collapsed under the earthquake spell of the Arestle United Mage Legion in less than half a day.
This once again made the soldiers and residents of Severant realize that their old rival was no longer as powerful as they were hundreds of years ago, but had unknowingly surpassed them. A long distance.
"Gather, assemble! Gather them all to the city wall. Ballistas and crossbowmen are all on standby."
"As for the alchemy puppets in the warehouse, drag them all out, as well as the Destroyers, Guardians, and the older models of goblin-made construction machinery. There is no need to save the magic crystals we have. The number of mages we have There is no need to use those magic crystal reserves, so feed them all to those alchemy puppets."
"Death warriors, the squad of Death Warriors is ready. All of you will ambush in the snow later and prepare the sacrificial daggers. For the sake of Sevetan, sacrifice everything you have to our lord. After the victory of the war, the Kingdom of God will have you. A place for you!"
The voice of the commander's orders continued to spread throughout Severtan. The news that the Rock Fortress was breached without resistance for a long time was undoubtedly a heavy hammer, hitting the already shaky will of the Severtan people. .
Even though the Severantans are brave and fearless in character, most ordinary soldiers and residents will still feel desperate when facing this battle with almost no chance of winning.
Even if the commanders' loud roars were full of momentum and anger, they could not arouse the somewhat numb hearts of the soldiers.
"People of Severtan, don't despair. We definitely don't have no chance. We are backed by the royal capital and have logistical advantages that the Aleisters don't have. Our supplies are endless, but they will lose even if they use up a few resources. Less combat power."
At this moment, a paragraph of calm but firm words sounded in the minds of all the Severantans in the royal capital.
This was the king's voice. No one knew how this voice sounded, but it shocked their hearts and raised their heads.
"Moreover, we have an advantage that our enemies don't have. There is not a single strong man in the legendary realm among Aleister's army, but we have two legendary knights. They are waiting for the opportunity and are ready to attack Aleister. When Leistler was careless, he gave them a fatal blow."
legend? This word representing a pure strong man caused waves in the hearts of the Seventan people. One man became an army, and the legendary knight was an almost superhuman existence. This was the power of the legendary strong man.
Having a legendary strongman that the enemy does not have is indeed a very big advantage. If the timing of the attack is right, the legendary strongman is enough to turn the tide of the battle, and they still have a chance.
"The most important thing is, everyone, look behind you. That is your home. This is the land where we have lived for hundreds of years. Are you willing to let this land that carries your memories and history fall into the hands of those damned people?" In the hands of Aleister?"
"No! For the glory of Severant, let us fight to the end. Even if we all die in battle, we will never let the Alestrians enter our royal capital!"
The king's words began to sound passionately in the minds of the Seventans. The hoarse shouts and extremely exciting emotions gradually infected every Seventanian.
Their dark fire of fighting spirit was rekindled, and the blood in their chests began to boil. Their hatred for Leicester's army and their desire to defend their homeland made this group of already despairing people take action quickly.
The soldiers quickly returned to their posts, while ordinary residents voluntarily took out the few supplies left at home, either passed them to the soldiers, or had combat-effective men and women pick them up, and spontaneously joined in guarding the royal city. within the defense line.
Inspired by the king's words that sounded in their minds, all the Severantans changed their previous dejection and despair.
They have forgotten who started this war, and they have also forgotten that even if the royal capital is breached, as long as they surrender, they will never be killed, and the kingdom may not even change hands.
The Seventans were aroused, but at the same time, there were some things they ignored. …
"How about those?
Have the Seventans not given a reply yet? The result is now obvious. What reason do they have for not surrendering? "
"This is no longer the past era. Even if the war is defeated, there will be no such thing as annihilation of the country. The Light God Religion will not allow it, and it is impossible for other human kingdoms and four tribes to agree."
Kevin was sandwiched in the Aleister infantry team and followed the large army forward. As a squad leader, his responsibilities also include being responsible for communicating with the commander and quickly conveying orders through his mouth.
Considering the problem of running-in, his commander is also one of the members of the Night Blade, the Grand Knight, Garcia.
"There is no reply. The several surrender letters sent to Severin through different methods have no results. Unless luck is so bad that all the letterheads are lost, there is no way there will be no reply, so the other party should have no intention of surrendering. .”
Garcia's response was conveyed to Kevin, causing Kevin to frown slightly and look at the royal capital of Seventan in the distance, which had already appeared in the observation of the telescope.
"This makes no sense. We all know the character of the Seventans. They are very stubborn and brave. But can't they understand this situation? They have no chance of winning. Surrendering is not a bad choice."
"Is it...void?"
As a member of the Night Blade who has been dealing with the Void for a long time, and thinking of the weird courage of the Seventans who refuse to surrender at this moment, it is difficult for Kevin not to rely on the possibility that the Void can affect the mind on a large scale.
"No, as Night Blades, we cannot be unaware of the existence of our mortal enemies. They have the power to influence the mind. That should be the power of the true god they believe in."
"Kevin, you should have experienced that kind of power that erodes your will. It's not void, or not entirely void. It's divine magic."
Garcia denied Kevin's speculation and instead expressed his judgment.
"Divine magic? That twisted and weird power that evokes fear is divine magic. Isn't the source of that power the evil god of the void?"
Kevin was a little shocked. As a being who had been corroded by the dark matter released by the strange dagger of the dead man, he knew the evil of those materials, which invaded the soul and plunged the will into an endless cycle of fear. That kind of power... was too much like the void. .
"It's not those existences in the void. That's what my teacher told me. It's a god."
The answer from Garcia was firm and serious. He was very sure that the power used by Seventan did not come from the void, but from divine magic.
"Is it Father Fang's judgment? There should be no problem, but what kind of god is that kind of power..."
Kevin was silent for a moment and did not ask any more questions. Mr. Garcia's teacher, Father Fang, the Archbishop of the Light Cult, is an expert in this field, and his judgment should not be wrong.
"Kevin, you have to know that we haven't won yet. Arrogance is our biggest enemy. Severant's lack of resources and difficulty in communicating with the outside world have indeed restricted them from developing magic and alchemy like us, but never underestimate a kingdom. , which is a whole composed of countless possibilities."
"Their resources have limited the development of their alchemy and magic. On the contrary, they have not limited their research on divine arts and beliefs. Several invasions from the Gate of the Abyss, and those strange gods, don't forget, in this regard , I’m afraid Seventan is still further ahead of us.”
Garcia's words were calm and serious, and the meaning in his words was clearly expressed. This made Kevin, who originally thought he had a chance to win, become nervous again, and a few drops of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
He understood that what Garcia said was right. The mentality of some winners disappeared in an instant. Before the real victory came, it was too early to think about why the opponent did not surrender.
"Don't be nervous, the advantage is still on our side. Just hold steady and proceed according to the plan and there will be no problem. Remember, our goal is to eliminate the threat of Sevetan, not to destroy Sevetan."
"As long as you invade the opponent's royal capital and destroy the opponent's defenders, there is no need to do other things. The lives of soldiers are precious and should not be sacrificed in unnecessary battles. You can decide the rest by yourself, Kevin , I believe you did
OK"
After the communication with Garcia ended, Kevin took a deep breath to calm his slightly fluctuating mood.
Their goal is not to destroy Seventan, but to defeat Seventan. Extra killing is unnecessary, and it will only cause more Alestele soldiers to lose their lives.
Putting the communication device in his hand back into his pocket, Kevin ordered his team to continue moving forward. If they advance about five kilometers, the capital city of Severtan will enter the effective attack range of the mage group. At that time, the entire army will attack the city together. time.
It was still the same carriage that followed Aleister's army, but Father Fang no longer knew where he had gone. Garcia looked at the communication device on the table inside the carriage and displayed the news from the Aleister City. Somewhat dark.
"Need news of victory? The decorations for the celebration prepared for the members of the New Council of Elders have been completed. The ceremony will be held when the war is won. Tsk tsk tsk..."
Garcia looked at the content on the communication device with a somewhat complicated mood. It seemed that the Aleister royal family had anticipated something very early on. Seventan would not be Aleister's opponent. Victory in this battle would strengthen the merits of their prestige.
It’s not that there is any problem. This war will be fought no matter what, and the news of victory is just incidental. It will reach the royal city anyway, but it still makes people feel uncomfortable to receive such news before the war is about to happen. Not happy.
"Forget it, that's it. I hope everything goes well, teacher. After all, if we don't handle it well, it will definitely be very troublesome."
Garcia shook his head, no longer thinking about the news that was annoying and unhelpful to the situation at the moment, and continued to focus on the movements of Arestle's army at the moment, of which he was also one of the commanders.
"The King of Seventan has entered the attack range of the mage army and is ready to start disruptive attacks."
Several mage regiments that had prepared in advance stopped following the soldiers. The capital of Seventan, some twenty kilometers away, had already entered their effective attack range.
Take down several boxes of magic crystals from the supply convoy, which are ammunition for the mages.
"Whoops!" Fire meteors of different sizes trailing flame tails pierced the windy and snowy sky in Seventan. They flew past and melted the snowflakes in the air into water before falling towards the target ahead.
The natural environment of Severtan weakens the power of this conventional long-distance strike spell, and suppresses the power of the fire element. However, even stone balls falling from the sky are still very lethal.
"Arestrian mages attack, obsidian shield! Other soldiers retreat."
The bombardment of fire meteor spells falling from the sky made the Seventans react quickly, and the enemy had arrived.
A black solid obsidian shield with certain anti-magic capabilities was erected on the city wall. The size of these flaming meteors was not too big. After their power was suppressed by the cold environment, they failed to cause any damage to these obsidian shield walls. Too much damage.
"Bang! Click!" A hard stone ball as big as a head, burning with some flames, fell from the sky and hit the city wall of the royal capital and the obsidian shield wall erected above.
The high-speed impact caused the stone ball created by the Fire Meteor spell to break and shatter, collapsing in front of the obsidian shield.
The soldiers who pressed their bodies against the obsidian shields were only knocked back a few steps. Their arms and upper bodies were slightly sore and numb. The distance the spell was released was too far. Even if it could strike, the original power of the spell was only five. one-sixth.
"Attention, the Aleister army has already pressed down. Open the city gate and let our army charge into battle. Kill some of their weak soldiers first, as well as the dead soldiers. The Aleister people will enter the ambush. The area is open, take action.”
The vision of the Severantan scouts broke through the barrier of wind and snow, and they discovered the mighty Arestle army coming from the road covered with ice and snow in the distance. They nervously reported the situation, and the commander based on The information is arranged
"Rumble" Several gates of the royal capital were opened, and heavily armed Severant soldiers rushed out from inside. The snowfield is their home field. No matter how powerful Aleister's mage is, the strength of the soldiers will always be Severant. Even better.
Arestle's heavily armored cavalry galloped quickly on the snowy fields. With the blessing of magic, the snowy environment had no effect on them.
"Puff puff puff." The surrounding snow suddenly broke open, and many Severantans emerged from under the snow layer, holding the daggers in their hands high and rushing toward the galloping heavy armored cavalry desperately.
The weird-shaped daggers held in the hands of these guys who suddenly appeared are already familiar to the Aleisterians. They are used to release the weird substances that pollute the mind. This has brought a lot of daggers to Aleister before. loss.
With a silent tacit understanding, the cavalry quickly exchanged positions with each other. The cavalry with special markings on their armor moved to the front, and without any hesitation, they directly collided with the dead soldiers who sprang out.
They are members of the Blades of Night, believe in the Lady of the Night, and have the protection of the prayer communication network. They are the plan to deal with these pollutions.
The horses collided with the dead soldiers, taking away the lives of these fragile enemy soldiers, and the cruel final battle began.
