"Bishop Knowlson, that is the core territory of the sinner Salk, Windsor Castle."
In the desolate fields, the troops of the Church of Light gathered into a large but uneven battle formation, facing the castle.
At the front of the array, there was a large group of rough men with a rough military appearance. They all held standard spears or fighting daggers in their hands, but most of them looked nervous or whispered to each other. They did not have the toughness and discipline of professional soldiers.
Behind them, a group of a hundred people stood in silence. Everyone wore hard leather armor, held swords and shields in their hands, and looked cold and silent. They were the real elite main force of the Church of Light in Sosk, and its commander was White.
There is also a group of crossbowmen, holding refined hard-winged wrought iron crossbows. The maximum range of this powerful crossbow is nearly 400 steps. It is a long-range strike weapon that can only be produced by the most advanced weapons workshops in Erathia. The annual output is not high.
It has always been strictly controlled by the royal family and the great nobles, and I don’t know what channel the Light Church used to obtain it.
On the right side of the array is a company of Holy Sword Cavalry, led by the seventh-level Light Paladin Tower.
"Launch the attack." Bishop Knowlson looked at the target with cold eyes and ordered.
"Yes. Only light shines on the world!"
Pastor Milan crossed the famous Cross of Light on his chest and responded loudly.
Then, passionate horns sounded. Led by a small number of officers and some fanatical believers, the more than two hundred church troops at the front rushed towards Windsor Castle like a swarm. The only siege equipment was a
It was a long and crude ladder, and even the bark on the surface of the ladder was not removed, showing that it had been made in a hurry.
"It's just these country bumpkins who still want to attack us?"
On top of the city, some bold nobles leaned directly behind the female wall to watch the battle. When they saw that the people of the Church of Light were so "rough and crude", they couldn't help but be surprised and despised.
It would be a joke if the majestic and gigantic castle of Windsor was captured by so many soldiers with long and short siege ladders. Unless it was replaced by a demon army with a big demon, it would be about the same.
"Get ready to fight!"
Because the strength of the Church of Light is relatively weak, at most it is possible to attack the city walls in two directions at the same time, so Jill and Joey only need to watch the enemy's movements and each be responsible for one defense. Although according to visual inspection, the two middlemen
The knights did not think that the enemy would have a chance to attack the city. Especially under the ruthless fire from the arrow tower, those unprotected attackers would become the best living targets.
"Such an attack is simply risking death."
The elite group led by White did not move, just like the cavalry company on the other side.
But looking at the chaotic and disorderly siege team, White frowned and endured it several times. He almost told him to stop such unnecessary attacks. But standing behind the whole army was Bishop Knowlson, and it was impossible to pay attention to him.
White could only keep silent about the little mid-level paladin's "lies".
Soon, the attackers rushed within a hundred meters of the castle.
Immediately, arrows flew from the two arrow towers facing them, falling like raindrops.
The dozen or so church warriors who were running at the front were immediately stabbed into pieces by the incoming crossbow arrows, and fell down without saying a word. Seeing this, the people behind them slowed down their steps and even cowered.
signs.
"Come on!"
"For God!"
"Only light shines on the world!"
At this time, the fanatical believers in the team played a huge role. While shouting to boost the morale of the people around them, they picked up several long ladders that had fallen to the ground and continued to rush forward, finally launching the entire attack sequence.
"It's useless to have spirit but lack training and combat power."
Without the order of Pastor Milan, White could only stay back. Sitting and watching many people about to "die", he felt a knot in his chest. Even if the believers of the light are not afraid of sacrifice, they should still have value, not like this
Such a meaningless death.
"God said that only with light can there be a world. In front of the light, all the weak, weak, and pitiful ones can become strong, heavy, and fearless as long as they truly believe in the light!"
On the noisy and chaotic battlefield, a low but clear voice of prayer suddenly sounded. It was as if it was declared in everyone's ears, no matter the enemy or friend.
Immediately, the dazzling golden light rose, forming a transparent golden cross in front of Milan, exuding a strong sacred aura. Then, the golden cross rose high, flew into the air, and then dispersed with a "pop".
Countless light shards fell on the charging cultists.
"Ah, it's God's light! I feel full of strength!"
"So warm, such warm light!"
"I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid of anything!"
"For God. Charge!"
As soon as the light fragments touch the body, a faint but substantial golden halo emerges around the believer. Looking from a distance, more than two hundred people seem to have connected into a vast golden lake of light, and the momentum is overwhelming.
And against the backdrop of that layer of golden light, it seemed that everyone suddenly became stronger and more agile. They no longer had the fear and nervousness just now, and instead became like those fanatical believers, chanting the church's slogans as if they were risking their lives.
Throwing himself at Windsor Castle.
Seeing this, the noble garrison on the city suddenly became demoralized for some unknown reason, as if they were timid about the sacred light below the city.
"Is that the other party's pastor?"
On the high platform of the inner castle, Mathil clearly saw the whole process of the golden cross rising and falling, and frowned slightly.
It is said that the priests of the Church of Light possess various magical powers given by God, which have miraculous effects such as healing, soothing, detoxifying, boosting morale, improving the combat power of soldiers, etc. Even the most powerful priest of the Light in legend can resurrect the dead. Now.
Seeing it with my own eyes, the rumors are indeed true.
"The fluctuation is at the level of a mid-level divine spell, but its auxiliary effects are surprisingly good, including four buff effects of 'powerful', 'speed increase', 'light protection' and 'high morale', and it is also a group bonus... The priests of the Church of Light have
Is it so powerful that the 'God of Light' has the 'connivance' of this main plane? Then why did he fall under the attack of you human nobles?"
Looking at everything under the city in the distance, Claudia also looked puzzled, even surprised.
In its impression, although the Death Priest of the Temple of the Holy Spirit is also terrifying, it is not so terrible that a mid-level divine spell has an effect close to that of a high-level one.
"I heard from my father that the Church of Light is already very powerful. Otherwise, humans would not have been able to rise in the center of the continent and establish their hegemony to this day. Especially the Holy Church, in conjunction with the holy priests of Light, has the power to sweep almost everything, even Brahma.
The great arcane masters of Qatar also had to pay their respects. However, since then, the church has become corrupted, oppressed the common people, humiliated the nobles, and was resisted by all of Erathia. Their god suddenly no longer exists for some unknown reason.
He was given magical powers, and later it was rumored that he had completely perished." Mathil thought for a while and said.
"Fire the arrow!"
While everyone in Windsor Castle was stunned by the power of divine magic, the archers of the Church of Light suddenly raised their crossbows into the air. Then, with a command, they pressed the crossbow machine, and more than ten arrows shot out.
Extending towering arcs, they shot across the sky to the top of the castle wall.
"Boom! Boom!"
With two consecutive explosions, two pieces of blazing orange flames exploded at different locations on Windsor Castle, directly sweeping up many guard sergeants. The other arrows were also mixed with some armor-piercing burning arrows, which were supposed to hit the city head.
, and even set the stone ground on fire.
"Asshole! They plundered our arms and ammunition, and now they use them to attack Windsor Castle. These hypocrites of the Light Church are really despicable!" Looking at the city defenders who were caught off guard, Mathil gritted his teeth.
.
"The power of those explosive arrows is very impressive. It is difficult for ordinary mid-level warriors to withstand such a frontal bombardment." The Blood Earl looked on indifferently and commented in detail.
"That is your master's work. It is naturally exquisite." Looking at Claudia, Mathil said helplessly and proudly: "In the black market, the price of an armor-piercing bursting arrow has already been raised to one thousand.
Gold coins still have a price but no market."
"Sure enough, alchemists are the quickest to make money. Unfortunately, you won't sell really good things." The Blood Earl shrugged, not caring at all.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the city defense caused by the armor-piercing bursting arrows, the church warriors with increased courage quickly moved towards the castle.
Amidst the shouts, short ladders were strung across the moat to form a temporary bridge. The believers behind immediately swarmed up, and in a short period of time, more than ten long ladders had reached the top of the city and were erected high.
"Kill! Kill!"
Led by the fanatical believers, a large number of church warriors began to climb up the ladder and attack the city.
"Fight down! Fight down all the enemies!"
"Push the ladder away, push the ladder away hard!"
The attack direction of the Church of Light was concentrated on the front of Windsor Castle, so the two mid-level knights were able to gather together to command the defense together.
I don't know if it was due to the increase in light magic, but the church soldiers were very agile and fast in climbing the ladder. In a few breaths, someone climbed up the city. The defenders on the opposite side immediately gathered several spears and stabbed them out fiercely, killing them immediately.
The enemy took down the city. But in the blink of an eye, the second, third, and fourth church soldiers rushed up again and started a life-and-death hand-to-hand battle with the city defense forces.
Under the protection of that golden halo, no matter whether the noble sergeant stabbed or slashed with a knife, he had the illusion of exerting force through his face. Not only was it laborious, but the actual damage caused was always small. In turn, the enemy
However, the attack power and shooting speed are significantly higher than ordinary people, which makes most of the defenders very uncomfortable. If it were not for their height and group advantages, I am afraid that the well-trained noble sergeants would be slightly inferior to those farmers in one-on-one situations.
It seems that the church has become an army.
"Arrow Tower! Suppress the enemies below the city!"
Unexpectedly, the enemy would suddenly become so powerful. Ji Er shouted directly. He must not let the battle to defend the city, which had an absolute advantage, turn into a meaningless war of attrition.
"Boom! Boom!"
But at this moment, two huge explosions suddenly sounded above the heads of all the noble soldiers.
They saw that in the huge fire and thick black smoke, the two arrow towers of Windsor Castle were blown apart at the waist, and then the fallen towers overturned, knocking down a large number of stunned defenders.
"Only light illuminates the world." Looking at the collapsed arrow tower, Bishop Norson smiled with satisfaction.
Immediately, the order was issued, and the elite soldiers led by White joined the battlefield. (To be continued.)
