Scott turned around and said to the other mages, "It's time, let's enchant Soldiers."
Several companions nodded and followed him to an infantry square.
The Soldiers in this phalanx look like elites at first glance. Most of them are tall and sturdy men. It makes people think that they can each fight ten. There are also a few people who are not tall, but they are also short, capable and agile.
This is the assault Soldiers carefully selected by Samar's order.
They all wore well-made and high-quality leather armor, and the originally exposed parts of their limbs were also covered by leather armor.
This team will serve as the fist of the rebels, breaking through the defenses on Thorn Fortress and clearing a bloody path for the following troops.
After the four mages arrived, a man dressed as an officer in the phalanx came out and saluted them.
"Lord Priest, we are all ready."
Scott nodded to him. "Well, we will pray for you right now."
As a mage, in front of these low-level Soldiers, he had to pretend to be the identity of his mortal enemy Church. Scott felt sick in his heart, but he knew that he had to endure it for a while now.
Scott and his three companions each stood on one side of the phalanx. They stretched out their arms, palms facing Soldiers, and began to mutter something.
As they chanted, Soldiers's body began to glow slightly, and more specifically, the equipment on their bodies began to glow slightly.
Soldiers Seeing this situation for the first time, they all opened their eyes and carefully observed the equipment on themselves or their nearby companions. Some people wanted to talk to their companions, but were immediately stopped by the officers.
Is this the effect of praying to gods? Is this the blessing of Lord of Light? Even though they had been informed in advance, everyone still found it incredible.
A few days ago, they were selected from their respective units, and it was announced that they would be the first to scale the city wall of Thorn Fortress as a sharp knife unit, fighting a bloody path for the following units. Regardless of whether they survived, they or their families would receive generous rewards, enough to feed and drink for the whole family.
Some people are very happy, as long as they survive, they can enjoy it, while others are very depressed. Being a vanguard in a siege battle is a very dangerous job, not to mention Thorn Fortress, known as the first fortress in the south, with no life left, so what's the use of so many rewards.
Then the priest accompanying the army suddenly came to them and said that four priests had come from the Holy City. They brought an oracle: Soldiers, who was responsible for leading the battle in this battle, were all warriors favored by Lord of Light, and shouldered the important task of defeating the fallen Royal Family. These four priests will also pray for them before the battle. This kind of extraordinary prayer will add invulnerability to their armor.
Everyone became excited when they heard that they were the chosen one favored by Lord of Light. This was said by the priest himself, and even those who were depressed before regained their spirits.
Moreover, under the protection of Heavenly Father, he would be invulnerable and could easily survive and enjoy the generous rewards. The morale of these five hundred people was greatly boosted.
After about 20 minutes, the four "priests" stopped chanting. They crossed their arms on their chests and seemed to be adjusting their breathing. Everyone was sweating profusely as if they had done a strenuous exercise.
At this time, the Soldierss no longer glowed, and their equipment returned to normal. When everyone saw the four "priests" closing their eyes and adjusting their breathing, they didn't dare to make a sound, so as not to disturb them.
After nearly two minutes, Scott opened his eyes and said to the officer just now, "Okay, now you have received Lord of Light's blessing. When the order to attack is given later, you will fight the enemy bravely. Don't let down Heavenly Father's expectations of you."
He was still breathing heavily when he said this.
The officer was extremely excited. "Yes! Lord Priest, we must obey the oracle!"
Just now he quietly took out a dagger and tried it on his leather armor. I was shocked when I tried it. Is it still leather armor? The feeling coming from the dagger is like a steel plate, but the feeling when you touch it directly with your hand is the same as before.
Oh my god! Could it be that I am really the one chosen by God? No wonder our group of people have to be selected from different troops.
Scott also asked, "Don't forget to take the Holy Medicine distributed to you. It will make you infinitely powerful, and the enemy will be as weak as a baby in front of you."
The officer immediately responded, "Yes, sir, thank you very much. Praise Heavenly Father, and all glory goes to the Almighty Lord."
After hearing these words, Scott felt very uncomfortable. He hummed slightly and led his three companions to the army commander Samar.
"My lord, everything is ready."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
The general on the horse nodded. He looked at his subordinates on the left and right, then slowly pulled out his sword and pointed diagonally forward.
"Attack!"
As the order was given, the trumpeter beside Samar puffed up his cheeks and blew the horn. The sound of the horn quickly spread around, echoing Battle Flag's hunting sound in the wind.
After hearing the sound of the horn, each of the five hundred enchanted people took out a small pill. The pill was very small, as big as a pomegranate seed. They all put the pill into their mouths and swallowed it.
Soon everyone felt that their whole body was hot, and their strength was flowing out continuously. Although they were wearing leather armor, they felt as relaxed as if they were shirtless.
There was no time to appreciate the magical effect of Holy Medicine. The five hundred people were divided into two groups, each pushing a Siege Vehicle towards the fortress, followed not far behind by a large number of infantry.
The other four Siege Vehicle also started to move, followed by a lot of infantry, but obviously not as many as the first two.
But running at the front of the whole army were a large number of archers. They trotted close to the fortress. After reaching a certain distance, under the command of the officers, they began to throw arrows at the city wall to suppress the attack from the fortress and cover the infantry approaching the city wall.
The moment the rebel horn sounded, the defenders on the fortress raised their hearts in their throats.
"The enemy arrows are coming! Be careful and take cover!"
The defenders crouched down and hid behind the battlements. The rebel arrows fell from the sky like rain. Many people who did not hide well were unfortunately hit by arrows.
"Get the wounded down quickly. Fight back! Fight back!"
The archers immediately stood up and threw arrows in the direction of the rebels.
Many people also fell on the rebel side, and they had no place to shelter. More people were injured, but they also immediately started a second wave of attacks.
Archers from both sides started a shooting battle.
As the rebel infantry approached, some archers from the defenders began to attack the enemy troops near the city wall, but due to the obstruction of Siege Vehicle, the effect was not great.
Finally, the first Siege Vehicle leaned against the city wall, and almost at the moment when the city ladder reached the top of the wall, the rebel Soldiers climbed up the ladder and jumped up.
"Haaah!"
Soldiers, the first rebel to jump onto the city wall, stared with red eyes and blocked the three or four swords that were slashing at him with incredible strength.
He waved his saber vigorously, and the four defenders Soldiers who surrounded him were shot away.
However, a sharp knight's sword passed over the four defenders who had not yet gained a foothold, and stabbed the rebel soldier in the chest with lightning speed.
Bowman opened his eyes wide, with an incredible expression on his face.
His full sword strike was blocked by a pair of seemingly thin leather armor?
I originally wanted to code two chapters today, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, so I could only write one chapter.
Alas, I've been having a lot of troubles recently. In addition to work, I actually found bed bugs (blood-sucking ones) in my newly rented house, and there are quite a lot of them.
Oh my God, I'm going to collapse. After get off work, I'll tear down the broken bed that the agency gave me and throw it away.
