Almost in the blink of an eye, the heritage knights gathered under the protective halo of the battle flag, like the devastating sharp knives and hammers, quickly swept away most of the enemies in the southwest gatehouse; and under the leadership of Paulina Continue to advance along the city wall and kill towards other city gates.
Free Army soldiers holding firecrackers and spears also swarmed in along the knocked-out cities; and inside the city gates filled with obstacles, they collided head-on with the mercenaries who came to support them. ; In an instant, the sound of piercing the flesh was intertwined with the bursts of muskets, roars and screams.
However, these mercenaries, who served as backup and fresh force, fought hard but could not break through. The thin Free Army defense line on the inside of the city wall was severely bombarded by firecrackers and explosives and Molotov cocktails fired from the city wall. , and in an instant he was defeated and retreated to the city.
At this time, the charge company and knights led by Paulina had already overrun the second city gate defenders in the northwest corner; most of them were turned into corpses falling like rain on the city top. However, when they rushed to the third city gate, the Church of St. Xiyon in the north of the city;
Finally encountered a belated obstacle and interception; it was a group of heavily armored knights with plate armor and face helmets who rushed out from the Saint Xiyong Church; wielding long swords and axes that were larger than ordinary people, Holding two big swords, he almost stepped on the surrounding highland buildings and jumped up to the tower.
With just a cold light flashing and blood spurting out, those Free Army soldiers and dynasty defenders who were still in the melee were involuntarily killed into pieces; and a large space in the city tower was immediately cleared; Paulina, who was surrounded by people, was exposed in the direction of the advance.
According to the practice of kingdom wars, in this narrow encounter battlefield where it is impossible to deploy troops and take advantage of equipment, it is the knights with superhuman physical fitness and various means of temporarily stimulating bloodline power who exert their full strength and gallop. The best battlefield in Zongheng.
Therefore, there has been a proverb from ancient times to the present that "only knights can deal with knights"; however, the next moment, these fierce enemy knights touched the invisible halo/shield, and suddenly a fierce fight broke out. Variety. They roared almost in succession.
Then, the body visibly swelled and became larger, and clusters of thick bristles or horny skin squeezed out from the gaps between the bolts and locks of the plate armor that were stretched and collapsed. Hugo, who was once an oath-keeping knight of the church, even gritted his teeth and shouted angrily on the spot: "Damn heretic!" "blasphemer!" "The devil's lackey!" "Unforgivable degenerate!" "Purify these evil spirits! "...
Under the leadership of Hugo, these heritage knights almost raised the hand cannons attached to their arm armors, took out the loaded shotguns from behind, and took off the oversized gunpowder grenades from their waistlines; they were almost bombarded head-on. Fireworks exploded among the enemy knights just a short distance away.
And Paulina, who was the first to bear the brunt, did not retreat slightly because of this, but held the battle flag high and took a few steps forward firmly; it also shrouded more of the deformed knights in the invisible halo. In an instant, it was visible to the naked eye that the movements of these deformed knights became sluggish.
It was as if there was some invisible resistance and interference within this area; it became difficult to move; however, in the fierce battle that broke out at close range, it was a fatal consequence; in the blink of an eye, these intrusions The deformed knight in the halo quickly fell into a disadvantage.
The heritage knights, who were not affected but whose morale was boosted, were chopped down to the ground with flesh and blood flying, and beheaded on the spot. One of the deformed knights, who was suspected to be the leader, even threw the long sword in his hand at Paulina in anger, but fell to the ground with a clang in the deceleration visible to the naked eye.
This is another hidden function of the flagpole. It is supported by the will of the holder and produces repulsion against aliens. Therefore, when she traveled around Africa, she encountered aliens, spirits, and even some prototypes of ancient legends hidden in ruins and ruins.
But as long as it enters the invisible range of this flagpole, it will be affected to varying degrees; it can no longer remain disguised and hidden. Even some humans with contaminated blood, or existences with internal distortions, will also be subject to invisible interference and potential suppression.
Therefore, this has also become one of the main reasons for Paulina to lead the way and gallop on many battlefields in Africa and the Kingdom, constantly creating victories and legends. Of course, her biggest reliance is that adult; especially after the other person has returned from the outside world.
In the escalating battle, those deformed knights were quickly killed and retreated; finally, amidst the roaring sound coming from St. Xiyong Church, leaving horrific corpses on the ground, they rushed to exit. In addition to the influence of the halo, they turned around and jumped off the tower without hesitation.
Since then, the third city gate of Orleans, the capital of Orleans, has also been successfully occupied and opened; the Free Army soldiers who cheered loudly outside the city and their morale has become increasingly boosted; more groups of cavalry accompanied them and drove them away Chasing the remnants of the enemy who fled towards the city, they saw that the fall of the city was doomed.
However, after half a day, most of the Free Army's offensive was once again blocked in front of the inner city fortress. After losing control of most of the city walls, Mechelen, as the Prince of Orleans, did not hesitate to give up the remaining provincial legions fighting in the outer city.
With the remaining guards and knights, as well as most of the most loyal Wang Li Ninth Corps, they retreated into the inner city fortress built with volcanic ash cement and stones, which was originally the family stronghold. A large amount of ordnance and food are stored here, and there is also a small lake for water supply.
But before that, he did one more thing to clear himself up; that is, he ordered those abnormal beings who had been hiding in the army to move freely in the outer city and look for opportunities to attack the enemy; instead of using night and patrols to Cover, sneaky hunting.
Therefore, the advance of the Free Army in the city was suddenly slowed down by frequent attacks and ambushes; they even encountered groups of residents who had obviously turned into beasts without intelligence. Sparkling chasing and biting other fleeing people.
In the end, even though Paulina was present, the command headquarters passed through the main roads and bridges in the main city and headed for the inner city fortress. What they saw were strange corpses of different kinds, as well as a larger number of city residents; many of them Their bodies were all mutilated and their expressions were ferocious and twisted.
In the square in front of the city hall, there was a large pile of shriveled corpses that seemed to have been sucked dry and drained of flesh and blood. In addition to some citizens, there were even dynasty soldiers wearing different uniforms and armors; and more In the distance is a giant bat-like monster covered with tentacles.
It's just that this monster, as big as a room, was in tatters and disemboweled, and was nailed to the marble exterior wall by many spears; and the blood flowing underneath it almost soaked the exterior wall of the city hall, turning the original The sculptural fountain pool also turned into a gushing and rolling piece of bright red.
Then, there were several short and shrill roars; the annex building in the corner of the city hall collapsed, and a huge figure fell out of the clouds of dust and smoke; it was a human figure more than five meters tall. Stone monster; only one arm is broken and the legs are also incomplete.
Therefore, he could only roar and howl on the ground, rolling forward as if to avoid something. Immediately afterwards, several knights who chased out of the ruins of the building and the dust and smoke did not hesitate to swing sledgehammers, chisels and other weapons, smashing the rubble on it and knocking off its remaining limbs.
After a while, the stone monster, which had turned into a stick-like shape with only its head and torso left, became a captive tied to an ox cart. And when Paulina, who was filled with indignation and anger, finally arrived in front of the inner city fortress, she heard the roar of the defenders.
Because, in front of this high fortress wall built with volcanic ash cement and large rocks, even the cannons transferred into the city by the Free Army could not do anything for a while. Whether it was a short-barreled mountain cannon or a long-barreled field cannon, they could only blast out small gray craters with debris.
Only the deflected mortars could pass through, posing a slight threat and shock to the guards on the fortress. Under the cover of the shelling, the attack attempted by the inheritance knights was repelled by the firearms on the city. Although no one was killed, more than twenty knights were seriously injured.
The two special attack knight squads, which were usually enough to fight against half a company, had completely lost their combat effectiveness. Facing the towering stone fortress and the heavy cast iron gate, Paulina, who was excited in her heart, slowly calmed down. Then, in front of everyone's attention, she knelt down and prayed while holding the flagpole.
"Sir!" "At this critical moment, I ask for your guidance." Just like what the gentleman once said, for the sake of momentary mood and so-called dignity, he squandered and squandered obstacles that he knew he could not do. Throwing away the lives of soldiers is undoubtedly the most stupid behavior.
After only a short while, Paulina, dressed in military uniform, suddenly stood up and waved her arms firmly towards the inner city fortress. Suddenly, there was a faint whistling sound in the sky, and then an elongated thin white line, getting closer and bigger in the blink of an eye.
It took just a few blinks for people to see clearly that it was a huge rock that crashed into the inner city fortress in front of them. It made a huge noise like the earth was shaking and a shaking that made people shake. There was also a cloud of dust and dust that rolled over our faces like waves, drowning everyone.
Then, when the dust and smoke gradually dissipated, the girl in military uniform was revealed again, her figure still intact; the city tower and the huge cast-iron gate opposite had disappeared, leaving only a long and narrow rock standing among the cracked and collapsed ruins. But inside the fortress, there was already deathly silence.
