Chapter 472 The Fall of the Empire
The moment the light beam rose, Owen lifted the energy shield and retreated decisively.
The Holy Light Judgment used by the other five Pegasus knights arrived later, and multiple light pillars overlapped, making their color whiter and flawless.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
Without the protection of the anti-belief magic stone, Bejana's body suffered extremely serious injuries. He was in so much pain that he could not freely use the magic stone in his body. The outer layer of solid rock armor dissipated in an instant.
The exposed flesh was distorted, bubbling, and rotten due to the attack of faith magic, and soon turned into a mass of human-shaped flesh. Even a few magic stones in the body were exposed, which looked very strange.
It's disgusting.
Bang! Bang!
Even so, Bejana still refused to give up and attacked the inner wall of the light pillar like crazy, trying to destroy it and then escape.
Unfortunately, the beam of light raised by the Holy Light Judgment has a strong blocking effect on vampires, and it is impossible to escape as long as it is surrounded by it.
Under the attack of faith magic, Bejana's body was turning into dust and falling to the ground little by little.
However, after the Holy Light Judgment lasted for a period of time, Owen discovered that Bejana's size had hardly decreased. He kept roaring in pain inside the light column and kept beating the inner wall of the light column.
For this reason, Owen couldn't help turning his head to look at Angelica and asked: "What's going on? How long will it take to eliminate Emperor Nilast?"
Angelica's hands holding the weapon were trembling slightly. It seemed that using Holy Light Judgment for a long time consumed a lot of magic power and physical strength.
"It's his special ability of extremely rapid regeneration!" Angelica replied with difficulty, "The Holy Light Judgment used by the six of us, the speed of destroying the physical body is almost the same as his regeneration speed, and they cancel each other out."
What?! This special ability is too outrageous!
Upon hearing the news, Owen was deeply shocked. There were only six Pegasus knights here at the moment. If this continued, they would inevitably run out of magic power first, giving Bejana a chance to escape.
What should we do? Is it still too late to go back and bring in reinforcements?
Just when Owen was thinking about what to do next, Mapel stood up on the side.
"Please leave it to me! Your Majesty!"
"You?" Owen looked at Mapel with a puzzled look, "What are you going to do?"
"Use faith magic." Mapel replied.
"Do you believe in magic?" Owen was surprised, "When did you learn it?"
"Your Majesty, just watch from the sidelines."
Time was urgent. Mapel stepped forward with determination, pulled out the long sword from his waist and stood it up in front of him. He closed his eyes and began to pray to the gods.
To be honest, Mapel only learned about the magic of faith from Angelica when she received training from her before.
Although he has practiced secretly several times in private, Mapel has never successfully entered a state of faith.
But now there is an urgent need for the output of a Templar Knight, and she believes that it is necessary for her to stand up and work with the Pegasus Knights to eliminate the vampire Emperor Nicholast.
It must succeed! She prayed silently in her heart.
After praying, Mapel noticed that his mind seemed to have a weak connection with the gods. He opened his eyes suddenly and turned the long sword standing in front of him. The sword suddenly glowed with white light, and he successfully entered the state of faith.
It worked! It really worked!
Seeing the element of faith attached to the sword, Mapel was filled with joy.
Owen on the side looked at Marpel entering a state of faith with slight surprise, and thought to himself, this girl has really succeeded.
"I really saw the right person!" Angelica, who was struggling to support herself, couldn't help but smile with relief, "Mapelle, you have the potential to become a Templar."
At the beginning, Angelica thought that Mapel was a good prospect, so she agreed to train her and taught her some knowledge about belief in magic.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Mapel would become the most important fighting force.
Without further ado, Mapel imitated Angelica's previous action, inserted the weapon into the soil, and successfully used the Holy Light Judgment. A white light extended from the aperture, and a new light pillar suddenly rose under Bejana's feet.
Just after watching it once, Mapel learned to believe in the magical Holy Light Judgment. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a gifted person.
The seven beams of light were superimposed together, which greatly strengthened the power of the Holy Light Judgment. Bejana, who was trapped inside, let out a cry of more pain than before. His body turned into dust at an accelerated pace, and its size also increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
shrink rapidly.
"No!!! I...I...can't...die yet...ahhhh!!!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Bejana finally turned into a pile of dust on the ground and was completely wiped out.
After successfully wiping out Emperor Nicholas, Angelica and the other five Pegasus knights withdrew their faith magic, pulled their weapons out of the soil, and then collapsed directly on the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Phew - it's finally over."
This battle is really difficult!
On the other side, Mapel pulled out his long sword and put it back to his waist in a relaxed manner, with a relaxed look on his face.
Since she joined in later and used Holy Light Judgment, the consumption of magic power and physical strength was not great, so she was not as exhausted as Angelica and the others.
"Okay." Owen looked towards the north, "Let's go back quickly, the war is not over yet."
…
When Owen and his party returned to the imperial capital of Weisbat, the revitalized People's Army, under the command of Viscount Jarvis, successfully breached the east city gate, and a large number of soldiers poured into the city to launch the next step of combat operations.
After all, Ice Peak Knight Rock Russ and the imperial soldiers who were responsible for guarding the east city gate could not wait until their emperor returned with victory.
After breaking through the east city gate, the other three city gates were quickly and successfully captured with the help of internal and external cooperation, and the war entered the stage of street fighting.
The city gates were lost one after another, and the morale of the imperial soldiers was extremely low. They had no intention of continuing to fight. Many of them surrendered without much resistance.
At this point, the situation of the Popon Empire was over and its defeat was certain.
Seeing that the battle situation was in such an unfavorable situation, Ice Peak Knight Locke did not hesitate to abandon his soldiers, mounted his own horse, and led a group of knights to break out from the North City Gate, the weakest part of the encirclement, and escape.
At the last moment, it was the Lightning Knight Bader Punill who was truly loyal to the Popon Empire. He led the remaining soldiers to retreat to the palace and castle, vowing to coexist and die with the empire.
Although Bard had abandoned the city and escaped before, there was still room for maneuver at that time. The lost city could be recaptured. It was obviously more important to avoid a losing battle and preserve the vitality of the knights.
But now, the imperial capital is about to fall, and Bard has no retreat. For the honor of the knight, he chooses to fight to the end and not run away again.
However, facing the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, especially the People's Army of the Kingdom of Dawn, Bard and the remaining imperial soldiers could not change anything at all, and eventually died in battle at the gate of the palace and castle.
