Chapter 1199 Shameless Intruder

Don't think that the 500-meter defense line is not long. Nalant only has more than 10,000 men. Facing the elite army of gods, even 500 meters is still a bit stressful.

As for his group of dark creatures, Nalant has not allowed them to enter the city for the time being, but is waiting more than ten miles behind the holy city.

If he really can't stand it by then, Nalant will let the army of darkness come to support him.

Of course, facing a coalition of more than two million legions this time, Nalant's dark army of the Death Continent may not be able to gain much benefit.

At that time, the enemy only needs to send out two divine envoys, and they will be able to kill seven in and seven out of this dark army.

Of course, Nalant's other three dark armies have also asked Xiao Huihui to notify them of coming to the Holy City of Fire.

It’s just that we don’t know how long it will take for the other three dark armies to arrive.

"kill!"

At this time, a cry of killing came from outside the city. Half a million invaders were approaching the city wall.

Whoosh whoosh!

Boom boom boom!

But before the invaders arrived, clusters of purple light shone in the sky.

It is these magic energy cannons of the invader legion, which number at least four to five hundred.

Balls of magic energy bombarded the walls of the Holy Fire City, and purple shock waves suddenly erupted.

Although due to the protection of the city wall, the magic energy shells fired by the invaders had limited damage to the defenders.

But it was able to suppress the defenders and fight back towards the city.

And this is the main purpose of the invader army.

They did not plan to rely on magic cannons to kill a large number of defenders, but to suppress the defenders from taking the lead.

This will allow the attacking team to successfully climb the wall.

"Magic cannon, target, intruder outside the city, fire!"

When the high priests on the city wall saw this, they naturally did not delay and immediately issued the order to fight back with magic energy cannons.

Whoosh whoosh!

Boom boom boom!

As each magic cannon was charged, thousands of magic cannons on the city wall were also activated.

Purple light groups smashed towards the invading army outside the city.

Suddenly, the scene looked like water dripping on the lake during a heavy rain. Standing on this high wall, you could see purple shock waves shining on the ground outside the city.

However, the defenders' magic cannons had limited attack power against the invaders.

Because the enemy had long expected that the defenders would use more magic cannons.

Therefore, in the open space outside the city, the charging formations of these invaders were spread out very widely.

In addition, their strength is that they all started as Sky Knights, and they can judge the landing point of the magic cannon in advance.

In this way, after a round of shelling, the casualties were actually not large.

What really made these invaders uncomfortable was the fortifications located near the city wall.

For example, there are long ravines, plus retaining walls made of thick wooden piles.

Although these ravines cannot block individual invader soldiers, they can block their siege equipment.

"Magic cannon, hurry up, take advantage of this moment and blast these intruders hard!"

Upon seeing this, the high priests of the Kingdom of God immediately urged their subordinates to attack.

The primary target of the attack was the siege stairs of these invaders.

Boom! Rumble!

With a roar, more than a dozen huge siege stairs were blown down, and sawdust flew everywhere.

"This won't work. The siege stairs will be damaged too much, which will be very detrimental to our subsequent siege!" Seeing this scene, several divine envoys frowned.

"Then what should we do now? Launch the second plan? But will this damage the image of our legion too much?"

A divine envoy asked.

"The only option is to use the second plan. Although it does not look good, have you forgotten that these guys even collude with dark creatures, so the small tricks we use like this are nothing."

"Okay, let's use the second plan!"

At this time, several divine envoys finally reached a unified opinion.

Immediately, several divine envoys waved their hands, and their subordinates immediately accepted the order, and then began to take care of things.

"Listen up, if you want to survive, please obey my instructions honestly. If anyone dares to escape, our war supervisory team will personally send you on your way to make you die faster."

"So, whether you want to be killed immediately or take some risks ahead, as long as you win, you will be rewarded with ten gold coins. You can choose this for yourself!"

"Now, let me go!"

At this time, several invader legion commanders and their subordinates drove more than 200,000 ragged prisoners onto the battlefield.

Among these prisoners were soldiers from the Kingdom of God’s Guards as well as ordinary civilians.

Although many kingdoms of gods have already evacuated civilians from the war zone, in such a backward background, it is naturally impossible to truly achieve 100% evacuation.

In this way, it is very normal for some civilians to stay in the occupied areas.

I just didn't expect that these invader legions would directly capture these civilians and push them onto the battlefield.

As for what to do when pushed to the battlefield, it is obvious.

This is why some divine envoys just said that this would damage the image of their legion.

Of course, it is unclear whether the worry just now was acting.

After all, if it was felt that it was damaging to the image from the beginning, why did the civilians be captured in advance before the battle even started?

Therefore, it can only be that these sanctimonious guys have actually thought of this move for a long time.

It was out of consideration for the god's face that he deliberately resorted to this plan after encountering a slight setback.

Soon, these prisoners were driven to the front of the battlefield, where they filled ditches and dug walls.

"Look, those people are wearing civilian clothes and guard clothes!"

Naturally, the people on the city wall discovered the problem immediately, and there were waves of exclamations immediately.

"Damn, these invaders are too despicable. They call themselves the Legion of Gods. How is this behavior different from that of the orcs?"

When the high priests saw this scene, they couldn't help but curse.

Because they are both human beings, they actually use their own race as cannon fodder. This has never happened in the continent of Io.

They had never had such an idea before when they attacked the Kingdom of the Sun God.

Of course, the main reason is that these divine kingdoms regard all civilians of the same race as the source of the power of faith.

In this way, when the two sides fight, they try to avoid affecting civilians as much as possible.

"What should we do now? There are nearly 200,000 prisoners. We will soon be able to fill the ravines and dig out the retaining walls."

"Also, not to mention the gullies and retaining walls, the moat will soon be filled in to create a road!"

Several high priests of the Kingdom of God frowned, feeling very troubled.

If they were to attack, they would be the soldiers and civilians of their Kingdom of God’s guard.

If we don't attack and let them dig deeper, the fortifications carefully laid out in the past few days will soon be destroyed by these prisoners.

"Attack, we can't just watch them destroy the fortifications, otherwise we will fail and the entire continent of Io will fall!"

After hesitating for a long time, seeing that several ravines had been filled in, and the prisoners had begun to clear the wooden piles and retaining walls under the supervision of the invader legion, the high priests of the Kingdom of God finally made up their minds.

Everyone knows what this battle means, and they dare not be merciful at this time.

"Magic cannon, stop their demolition offensive!"

Buzz!

Boom boom boom!

As the order was issued, the magic cannon immediately targeted the prisoners who were forced by the enemy to disrupt the offensive.

"Ahhh!"

Suddenly, there were bursts of screams from among the prisoners.

They don't have the strength of the invader legionnaires, and they still need to work hard.

In this way, many people were immediately blown away by the magic cannon.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the prisoners, and they turned around and tried to escape.

"Don't retreat, come back, retreat and kill!"

Upon seeing this, several leaders of the invading army who were in charge of supervision immediately drew their swords from their waists to stop them.

But just shouting, naturally no one paid attention to him.

Puff puff!

Upon seeing this, several commanders mobilized their fighting spirit and killed dozens of escaping prisoners without saying a word.

Suddenly, the prisoners stopped tremblingly.

"Go back and continue to destroy the fortifications. Unless the road to the moat is filled in, none of you can leave."

"If you want to survive, work hard for me!"

The leader of the invader legion was finally satisfied and stopped, and spoke fiercely towards the prisoners.

After hearing this, the human captives could only start working again, no matter how scared they were.

Just many timid prisoners crying while working.

Naturally, the people on the city wall couldn't bear it when they saw this scene.

However, now is not the time for sympathy to overflow, so we can only grit our teeth and continue to attack.

At the same time, he also hated the invader army outside the city with itch.

"These bastards!" Nalant also frowned.

However, the battle still continued, and everyone did not have much time to relax.

Although the moat has not been filled in, the invasion army's attack is also continuing.

One by one, the invader legionnaires came to the moat.

They first threw the long simple ladder in their hands to the other side, and then flew directly into the air towards the corner.

This moat is only eighty meters wide. Compared to a river hundreds of meters wide, the risk of leaping is several times lower.

Coupled with the cover of the magic cannon in the rear, these invader legionnaires can survive without much cost.

After crossing the river, they immediately picked up the ladder that had been thrown over before, and immediately put it on the city wall and started climbing.

"Quick, roll the stone and smash down these enemies climbing the wall!"

As the soldiers of the invader legion began to climb the wall, the defenders on the city wall became busier.

Not only do you need to attack enemies far away, you also need to guard against enemies that are already close at hand.

However, when using this rolling stone to deal with nearby enemies, the damage capability is actually very limited.

The main reason is that the enemy is too strong and can already walk through the air.

In this way, even on a ladder, it is very easy to dodge.

It didn't take long for soldiers from the Invader Legion to board the plunder.

"kill!"

Afterwards, the two sides finally broke out into a close combat.

As soon as these invader legionnaires stepped onto the city wall, the Kingdom of God's Guards swarmed forward, using their numerical superiority to force the enemies back or directly kill them.

For the time being, because the large group of soldiers from the Invader Legion failed to climb the wall at the same time, the Kingdom of God's Guards still had the upper hand.

But gradually, as time went by, more and more fortifications outside the city were destroyed.

The prisoners had already begun to fill the river under the pressure of the legionnaires.

Carloads of stones and soil were thrown into the moat.

Of course, they don't need to fill the entire moat.

Instead, just fill in the river with dirt roads that can allow the ladder to pass.

In this way, more than 100,000 people are required to landfill the land at a very fast speed.

About an hour later, after paying the loss of at least 70,000 to 80,000 people, these prisoners finally filled out more than 20 dirt roads across the river.

The dirt road is six to seven meters wide, just enough for the huge siege staircase to pass through.

"Haha, it's almost done. Let's start the attack on the siege stairs!"

When several divine envoys saw this, they immediately smiled.

The twenty river crossings have reached the minimum limit for launching an effective attack.

In this way, several divine envoys immediately issued the order to attack the siege stairs.

Of course, although twenty passages already allow the siege staircase to launch an attack.

But this does not mean that the captive coolies can be withdrawn.

They need to continue filling in the moat until the Holy City of Fire is captured.

"Magic cannon, give priority to attacking the enemy's siege stairs!"

Seeing the towering siege stairs approaching, the high priests of the Kingdom of God immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

This thing is definitely a weapon for siege.

As long as you lean against the city wall, it will be like installing a solid staircase outside the city wall. Enemies can climb up the wall quickly in a steady stream.

Buzz!

The magic cannons installed high on the towers on the city wall received the order and immediately began to attack the siege stairs.

Whoosh whoosh!

The next moment, I saw magic cannons flying towards the siege stairs one after another.

And just when the defenders thought that these siege stairs would be blown to pieces like before.

On the siege stairs, strong men from the invader army suddenly appeared.

These strong men drew out their long swords and slashed their swords in the direction of the surrounding magic energy cannons without hesitation.

Boom boom boom!

Immediately, magic energy cannons met the sword light in the air and exploded directly.

"Can you still defend like this?"

All the high priests of the Kingdom of God were shocked.

After all, the speed of the magic cannon is so fast, it requires at least a strong Paladin to catch the trick.

And such a number of paladins is definitely impossible to have in the continent of Io.

It would not be so extravagant to defend against magic energy cannons.

However, these invader legions are not short of powerful Paladins, so each siege vehicle is equipped with five powerful Paladins.

It can still defend against magic cannon attacks very well.

Of course, it doesn't mean that this method alone can prevent the magic cannon 100%.

Of the twenty siege staircases, at least five were hit.

Three of them were directly scrapped, and only two were not seriously damaged and continued to move forward.

The three scrapped siege stairs were pushed directly down the moat to make way for the subsequent siege stairs.

"Quick, all the magic energy cannons that can shoot should be aimed at these siege stairs, and attack first!"

Upon seeing this, the high priests of the Kingdom of God immediately became anxious and issued orders for more magic cannons.

Of course, the enemy cannot let a group of high priests get their wish.

Ho ho ho!

At this moment, the enemy's hundreds of dragon knights who were originally hovering in the sky finally started to move.
