Surface Continent, Regas Kingdom Northern Territory, Wind-Cliff City.
The cold wind howled, and the airflow carrying ice particles was like a razor blade slicing across the cheek, which was painful.
Under the tall city walls, torches are held high, all over the mountains and plains, bringing the atmosphere of the distance.
The towers and emergency bells rang, and groups of soldiers rushed out of the warm towers. They acted amidst roaring orders.
"Raise the bow and pull the string--" The soldiers raised their long bows at an angle of 45°.
"Shoot!"
The bowstring vibrated, and densely packed arrows were thrown from the top of the city wall, crossing a long arc, carrying the cold wind, and hitting the cold shields and armor, causing splashes of blood and tiny crackling sounds.
On the high tower inside Wind-Cliff City, as the border general of the Regas Kingdom, Count Lyon was wearing armor and cloak, holding a sword in one hand and staring closely at the battle situation below.
"Anti Kingdom How many people did they come this time?"
"According to the report of the scouts aboard Cold-Cry Eagle, there are at least 160,000 people, and currently only their vanguard is under the city wall." Another noble officer in armor reported.
"Are you so loud?" After saying that, Count Lyon closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down his somewhat intolerable emotions.
"I'm afraid this is the war to destroy the country that they have been preparing for a long time."
If it was only 50,000-60,000, he would think that the other party wanted to capture some land, rob resources and property, etc., but with such a large army, the other party's appetite would be far more than that.
"The garrison of Wind-Cliff City is now only 20,000 people. Although they are on full alert, they still did not expect that they could mobilize so many troops this time. Aren't they worried about the unstable situation in the rear?" Earl Lyon's voice was full of doubts.
To the north of "Anti Kingdom" is Lake Salt Wilderness, where the environment is harsh and only a few barbaric herdsmen live, which will not pose a threat to them. To the west is "Gravel City-State Union", five It was also invaded by the Anti Kingdom years ago, and its vitality was severely damaged. Now it has no energy left to fight back. Only the east side is bordered by Eagle-Scorpion Khanate, which is equally powerful as Anti Kingdom."
"Eagle-Scorpion Khanate has conquered and engulfed many small countries over the years. If Dragon-Head Mountains in the east had not stopped them, we would have been worried that they would go south."
"Logically speaking, in order to defend against Eagle-Scorpion Khanate, at least half of the Anti Kingdom's troops must guard the border, and we should not dare to recruit large-scale invasion..." The adjutant was puzzled.
While they were talking, a sharp eagle call came from the thick clouds.
Soon, hundreds of giant eagles broke out from the thick clouds. Their feathers were brown and white, and their wingspan was nearly thirty meters. The sky seemed to darken under their broad wings.
These giant eagles are holding long bunches of black iron "grapes". When these "grapes" are released from their claws, they hit the city like meteors, and large sparks splash up, igniting all kinds of things.
In just a moment, these giant eagles ignited the entire Wind-Cliff City, and countless flames and thick smoke rose into the sky. Even the fierce cold wind blew, unable to dispel the suffocating heat wave spreading in the air. Many soldiers who were ignited by the direct splash of sparks could only roll in vain on the ground, unable to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
"That's a fire bomb made of "Blazing Fire Oil". Water can't put it out at all." Lyon looked at this scene and felt endless anger and chill. He wanted to yell and command the soldiers to resist the battle, but his body was frozen and unable to move because he knew that everything was too late and it was all in vain.
"Howling Wind Giant Eagle, Eagle-Scorpion The giant war beasts raised by the kingdom... Since they appear here, everything makes sense." His hand firmly grasped the hilt of the sword, and his voice was cold.
"Anti and Eagle-Scorpion have joined forces, so they can mobilize the largest force to go out."
Under the city wall, more than twenty rams were pushed up the hillside in the cold wind. The corners of the rams were engraved with the lines "Castle" Aspect Power. The scholars accompanying the army held up the stone slabs. These A complex brilliance appeared on the stone slab, and then echoed with the patterns on the horns. Whenever a group of soldiers raised their horns to knock on the city gate, white concussive Impact waves spread along the city gate.
The invisible air wave shattered the resisting soldiers behind the door, causing their armor to shatter, their bodies trembling, vomiting blood and falling to the ground, while cracks appeared in the foundation stone of the city wall on the side.
The pattern of an old woman praying appears on the tall and heavy city gate. This is the mark that symbolizes "Gate of Sherilian". In the magnificent city built by "Swan King", the gate of the third city wall is also the origin of the pattern of the formation inscribed by countless Castle scholars in later generations.
Facing the heavy city gate blessed by "Gate of Sherilian", the attacking side had already had countermeasures. With the continuous hammering of the collision angle, the invisible Impact wave trembled and spread, shattering the masonry of the city wall around the city gate. Cracks appeared one after another. "Gate of Sherilian" lost its connection with the city wall, and the resistance of the entire city's magic circle was slowly weakening.
A few minutes later, huge cracks spread from the city wall, and the patterns on "Gate of Sherilian" were completely extinguished and dimmed.
With a loud noise, the magnificent city gate was shattered by the impact and collapsed backwards, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.
The horn of attack sounded, and the fully armed Knight rode forward one after another. The tall war horses, Sturdiness's armor, raised their lances high, and a special virtual image of White Stone Chess Piece appeared above their heads. The auras of these chess pieces were connected to form a gray light array, like a moving steel barrier, advancing forward and rushing into Wind-Cliff City.
No matter how many arrows and ambushes along the way, these torrents of steel could not be shaken. Knight wearing feathers marched forward in formation, smashing all obstacles along the way, directly cutting through the entire city's internal defense line, as if it was destroying everything.
During the process, even if there were sporadic Transcendent counterattacks in the city, when facing the coordinated "Castle" iron curtain, all their extraordinary power was dispersed, and finally turned into powerless bamboo sticks and wooden branches, easily crushed by iron hoofs.
On the dark mountaintop outside the city, two graceful figures stood quietly, looking at the city that was engulfed in flames, with countless wails and the clashing of swords and halberds.
"Wind-Cliff City is irreparable." One of them whispered. Judging from her figure and clothes, she should be Witch.
"It's still too late. We received the news that Anti and Eagle-Scorpion are joining forces too late."
"The ancestors of the Regas Kingdom have made an alliance with our organization. When other school organizations join the war, we must cooperate with the royal family of the Regas Kingdom to fight against it."
"But now Wind-Cliff City has fallen, and there are no powerful pass fortresses in the south to block it. Even if we join the battlefield, we can't prevent the destruction of the Regas Kingdom."
"Where is White Cliff City? It has been fortified by the royal family through the ages, with towering city walls, towers and ramparts Sturdiness." asked another Witch next to him.
"If there is enough resistance in the Regas Kingdom, maybe White Cliff City can still be saved."
"It's a pity that the current Regas Kingdom is no longer the era of "Knight King" and Regard. The military force has been weakened. The Knight selection competitions that were held in various places, the establishment of the youth Knight Attendant parade system, and other policies have been abolished for nearly a hundred years in order to reduce expenditures. Today's Regas Kingdom simply cannot be like in the past, where the flag is everywhere and the guns are like a forest."
"Without foreign aid and a lonely city, how long can we persist?"
"Those Anti Kingdom armies will not let go of the fat in front of them. When they sweep across the entire Regas Kingdom realm, the so-called White Cliff Royal City will be nothing more than an isolated island and will not last long."
"Alas..." Another Witch sighed.
"Although the demise of the Regas Kingdom will not affect our organization, after all, we have lost an ally, and we will also lack some fresh blood in the future."
"Go back, White Cliff City will receive news soon. If they can't come up with a way to save it, we can only protect a small part of the royal family from escaping in accordance with the agreement, and continue the bloodline of Regard as a response to the covenant."
Crows of crows fluttered in the mountains, densely packed, and the sound of flapping their wings alerted the giant eagle riders who were constantly roaming and attacking above the city. However, these black crows did not participate in the battlefield, and quickly disappeared into the dark night.
"Witch..."
