Chapter 143: Continuous Accidents (3)
Cynthia made such a decision because she had no choice but to have more than 3,000 warriors, which have been the essence of the Goddess of Nature for more than 100 years. If they were all destroyed in Hukou Pass, it would be difficult for the Goddess of Nature to have the capital to continue.
However, when things have reached this point, there is no point in retreating. The only way out is to fight to the death. If you can repel the heavy infantry regiment and hold on until the evening, you can give up Hukou Pass and retreat to the Hanover mountain area.
This time, the attacking side had an overwhelming advantage, allowing the orc warriors on the city wall to throw stones desperately, but the damage to the heavy infantry was not great. When they advanced less than thirty meters away from the city wall, there were less than one hundred soldiers who were knocked down.
The strength of the heavy infantry was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
The Light Continent has not had a large-scale war for nearly a hundred years. The Rohan Kingdom still retains such a powerful army. It is conceivable how powerful the Rohan Kingdom is.
It was meaningless to continue to maintain a dense formation at a distance of thirty meters. The heavy infantry suddenly shouted, and the team quickly dispersed, rushing towards several gaps in the city wall like a swarm.
Several gray-brown smoke floated down from the city walls, and the Saman priests in the Orc Legion also entered the battle. Negative halos such as dullness, fear and weakness enveloped the heavy infantry's heads, and their attack momentum was paused.
However, this is the case. When the Light Mage threw countless positive halos such as acceleration, increase in force, and bravery, the negative impacts of the heavy infantry were dispersed, and they re-entered the battle with a more courageous attitude.
The four gaps in the city walls were the most fierce competition between the two sides. The heavy infantry had a very heavy equipment, and they had a very difficult time climbing and were slow to move. However, because their armor was very strong, ordinary swords could not cause any damage to them.
Relatively speaking, the three thousand church elites that Cynthia had high expectations were not as good as orc warriors, because orc warriors used heavy weapons such as war knives and sticks, which really caused considerable losses to the siege infantry.
As time goes by, more and more corpses piled up outside the city wall, including heavy infantry and orcs. The bodies piled up higher and higher, and in the end they were almost parallel to the gap. More heavy infantry flocked to the city wall, and the city wall was greatly damaged.
At this time, the orcs saw war monsters that were more important than life and had to go into battle.
The two war beasts suddenly rushed out of the gap in the city wall and crushed the heavy infantry soldiers in front of them with their huge bodies.
Every war beast weighs seventy or eighty tons, and stands up to seven or eight meters high, almost a wall of flesh.
The two war beasts ran back and forth around the city walls. Wherever they passed, the heavy infantry who were stepped on and the armor on their bodies were trampled to pieces, and the first round of offensive of the heavy infantry was temporarily curbed.
The horn sounded "Woooo...", and a dozen huge platforms suddenly appeared on one side of the Light Church, and more than a dozen powerful crossbows with iron hooks roared and shot into the war beasts.
Each of these powerful crossbows is more than three meters long and weighs more than ten kilograms. There are three iron branches at the top. When they are shot in, the iron branches are closed. However, once they are pulled back, the iron branches will spread out, causing huge trauma to the body.
The war beast was too large and moved very slowly, almost just a living target, with more than a dozen powerful crossbows hitting the target, and the war beast roared in pain.
Thousands of soldiers rushed over, grabbed the iron chain behind the powerful crossbow, and pulled it back desperately.
Amid the roar, two huge war beasts fell to the ground. Although they could not die for a while, they could not stand up under the guidance of the iron chain.
The two war beasts were seriously injured. The Saman of the Orc Legion cried out in pain and never dared to throw the other two war beasts into the battle again.
After more than ten minutes of adjustment, the heavy infantry legion arranged in formation again and took heavy steps to launch a second attack.
The city walls were silent, and everyone was breathing, waiting for the upcoming battle.
Despair and fear began to spread, and the timid soldiers had begun to retreat secretly, especially the guard soldiers who had just recruited by Imadnagur, who had escaped from Hukou Pass at this moment.
"Everyone who offends me will have to pay the price of bleeding!" A woman's loud voice suddenly sounded in the sky, and the fallen angel Elena danced her wings and slowly flew over the battlefield.
Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief. With this terrifying person there was still hope to stop the enemy's attack this round.
Elena hovered at an altitude of about three hundred meters, her hands slashed continuously, and a huge weak aura slowly landed, covering all the heavy infantry involved in the attack.
The weak aura of the Saman sacrifice can only affect dozens of people, and the physical strength of the soldiers shrouded by the halo was reduced by less than 20%. However, Elena's weak aura was much stronger than theirs, not only covering the entire offensive legion, but also causing their physical strength to decay by more than 50%.
Originally, they were level 6 warriors, but now they only had the power of level 3 warriors. The disadvantage of heavy armored infantry armor being too heavy immediately appeared. They struggled to move, and even couldn't even dance the heavy sword in their hands.
How could such a good opportunity be missed? Cynthia immediately ordered two orcs, thousand-person teams to go out of the city to fight back.
The orc warriors rushed out with a scream, raising the axes and sticks in their hands and smashed them at the warriors who were almost unable to lift their arms.
This was simply a one-sided massacre. The heavily armored infantry who had just been arrogant suddenly turned into a docile iron rabbit.
There are many ways to deal with weak auras, and both the power-enhancing magic and the exorcism techniques of Master Guangming can work.
More than a hundred light mages began to act, and each strength-enhancing halo and exorcist clouds flew over, trying to restore the physical strength of the heavy armored infantry.
However, Master Guangming soon discovered a problem: Elena's weak aura was not so easy to remove.
Elena has become a fallen angel. Her magic power is mixed with a very strong dark aura, causing the nature of the weak aura to change. The light mage must work many times more difficult than usual to dispel the weak aura within a limited area.
Things were even worse. One weak aura was not enough. Elena continued to hover in the air, and another weak aura began to form again.
A thousand meters away, Gonzalez kept staring at Elena in the air.
Gonzalez felt extremely regretful about this angel who once belonged to the Church of Light. He really didn't understand why Elena defected to the dark camp.
Elena continuously released weak auras to help the enemy, shattering Gonzalez's last hope.
"It's really depraved!" Gonzalez's face showed a heartbroken look: "Zhebeanda, use your Elf King's Bow."
A sharpshooter next to Gonzalez received the order and immediately took out a very small bent bow.
The bow is only more than 30 centimeters long and is green. The bow is carved with exquisite patterns, and three wind-moving crystals are embedded at equal distances.
This is the legendary Elf King bow, which is the only item left in the elves era tens of thousands of years ago. It is said to have the power to kill God.
Zhebeanda took out a crystal clear arrow, put it on the Elf King's bow and aimed it at Elena in the air and shot it out.
The reason why Elena chose to hover at an altitude of more than 300 meters was because she was confident that ordinary bows and arrows could not hurt her at such a height, but her magic could exert ten thousand of its power.
Therefore, when an almost transparent arrow flew towards Elena, Elena felt very surprised. She was in a hurry and could only one side of her body, allowing the arrow to pass by the bridge of her nose.
Another whistle came, and the second elf king arrow came one after another.
At this time, Elena was ready, pulled out her sword and aimed at the arrow and slashed hard. With a "default", the Elf King's arrow flew out in a diagonal manner.
Immediately afterwards, the third elf king arrow had arrived. At the same moment, Elena suddenly discovered that the two arrows had flew back from the left and right sides.
This is the advantage of the Elf King's bow and arrow. It can automatically lock the target, fly automatically, and never stop until it hits the target.
A wave of fear swept across Elena's body. She already knew what the bow and arrow were attacking her. She also felt the powerful aura of destructive power from the three arrows.
Elena knew that not to mention her, the fallen archangel, even if the four-winged combat angel was hit by such a weapon, there was no possibility of survival.
With his wings spread, Elena's body suddenly rose hundreds of meters and temporarily escaped from the attack range of the Elf King Arrow.
Three arrows turned one by one in the air, and then turned to Elena again. Elena was frightened and quickly used the space movement technique to cross a distance of thousands of meters in one step and escape to the depths of the mountains.
Elena was repelled by the Elf King's bow and arrow, and the battle situation once again shifted to the side that was beneficial to the Church of Light.
Thousands of heavy infantry who were not killed in battle gathered again and launched a third charge against the city wall.
The most powerful warrior left, and no one seemed to be able to stop the fall of Hukou Pass. Cynthia was sad and prepared to order a retreat.
Suddenly, there was a riot in the crowd behind Cynthia and an unexpected person appeared.
King Imadnagour had his hair disheveled, his eyes were red, he held a machete in one hand, and dragged the Saint of Light Camilla with the other hand to the edge of the city wall, shouting to Gonzalez in the distance: "Don't come over, or I will kill her immediately!"
