Chapter 187: Epic Battle (3)
"They are here!"
Cardinal Leon, the Red-clothed Cardinal, temporarily took over the military and control of the city of Nya, and was currently arranging defense and mobilization work on the city wall. If he did not come in person, he might be afraid that the soldiers above the city would be scared and unable to hold on before they arrived.
The proud Cretan Empire was scared by the news that had been constantly coming back from the front in recent times and the unstoppable force of the Holy Seville Empire. If the Cardinal in Red had not brought the 20,000 church legion, and he personally appeased the common people in the city and told them that His Majesty the Pope and His Highness were rushing to rescue them at this moment, and the entire Imperial capital, Nia, had collapsed.
Two days ago, they received a report from scouts and knew that the army of the Holy Seville Empire would arrive here today. They were preparing to quickly break the Imperial capitals of Nia with the equipment needed to siege the city.
Leon also knew that the human coalition was rushing towards here at full speed, but if he came too late, he would not be able to guard this huge city with tens of thousands of soldiers.
Not to mention, the other party also has the Knights Templar and the mastery of artifacts, which have surpassed common sense and rules. Leon knew how terrible it would be if the Saint led the Knights like the Clergy.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The rapid bell rang, but it was just redundant. All the defenders above the wall had already been attracted by the army in the sky.
"Are you finally here?"
"That's the army of the Holy Seville Empire?"
"Have the Lion King Will already come? The orc king who was chosen by God in the legend, the chosen man of the King's Sword of King Power!"
At this moment, everyone stood above the city and looked at the black dots appearing in the skyline in the distance. Several cavalrymen appeared and held high flags. Then more and more soldiers continued to emerge, occupying all the horizons within their sight.
The moment the skyline appeared, the enemy was overwhelmed, sweeping all the earth in their eyes, densely packed spears, the tips of the spears were sharpened and shining in the sun, and a large number of flags representing the various legions and families of the Orc Empire were blown straight and constantly shaking in the strong wind.
The most conspicuous one is the flag representing the Holy Seville Empire Emperor. The red-bottomed golden lion flag was raised the highest in the center. The Northern Paladin Order, which followed Verdanti's battle in the south and north, surrounded the flag tightly.
The sky around Nia City is covered with dark clouds at this moment. Although it is just a common cloudy day, it makes the people in Nia City feel as if the gods have given up on them, and they are reluctant to give them a trace of light and warmth. Everyone is breathless with the dark weather being suppressed.
Cardinal Leon in red was standing above the city wall, his red and golden cloak and the scars left by the battle on his face filled his body with majesty and murderous aura. However, facing this situation at this moment, Leon felt deeply at a loss in his heart.
"Will Ilanbery, Emperor of the Holy Seville Empire!"
The sound of horse hooves resounded in the distance, and the war horses neighed. They lined up, bringing a lot of dust and constantly approached the city of Nya. Hundreds of thousands of troops were approaching the city. This thrilling scene was never seen by all the soldiers present, including Cardinal Leon in Red.
No one thought that tens of thousands of defenders in their city could defend this city. All the elites in the city were killed in the previous war in the Dips Grand Canyon. Except for the people from the church legion, everyone else was a few young recruits. Seeing this scene at this moment, only felt the momentum emitted by these hundreds of thousands of heroic troops, and their legs were scared to death.
A young man who had just put on armor and picked up his long sword said in a daze: "Oh my God, we are really going to die here!"
A half-old middle-aged soldier kissed the holy pattern on his chest: "God, may you bless me!"
A recruit who looked just adult and had not yet grown a beard trembled all over: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"
Cardinal Leon, the Cardinal in Red, sighed. It seemed that he could not wait for the help of the human coalition. As Cardinal in Red, the Supreme Commander of the Cretan Empire Diocese, he could not escape anyway. This represents the faith in the gods and the guardian of the glory of God. Even if he died, he could only die in the city of Nya and in the war with the pagans.
Leon pulled out his sword and let out a roar: "Fight for God!"
Above the city, all the soldiers of the church legion under the city walls that had several miles of radius, drew their swords together and shouted in unison: "Fight for God!"
The air calmed down, as if I felt the aura of the church legion soldiers who were ready to die and strengthened their faith in the gods. The rest of the people also calmed down one by one. The power of faith could give people courage beyond imagination.
While everyone was waiting for the siege of the Holy Seville Empire Army, the orc imperial army in the distance stopped, and the defenders who had raised their spirits and courage were suddenly at a loss. At this time, someone immediately noticed the movement on the other side.
"Look, what is that?"
"Reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived!"
"It is the knights of the Church of Light and the coalition forces of our human kingdom!"
"That is the flag of the Church of Light, and the Kingdom of Golden Rose, the Principality of Kerville..."
A sun-patterned flag and a large number of soldiers appeared in the sky in the south. In the smoke and dust, countless human cavalry finally arrived at this moment. A large number of familiar signs and flags belonging to the human coalition appeared in their eyes. The vast army went down from the hillside in the south and headed towards the wide plain before the city of Nya.
At this moment, the army of the Holy Seville Empire also discovered the traces of the human coalition and immediately stopped. The city of Nya is located on the Sumeron Plain, the largest plain in the Cretan Empire. The terrain is wide. Except for the highland of Nya City, all around are plains, and even more troops can accommodate them here.
No one expected that the legions of both sides would arrive at the same time at this moment. The human coalition in the church area of Light finally arrived here before the reservation, blocking the progress of the Holy Seville Empire.
"Reinforcements are here!"
"The legion of the Church of Light has arrived, and His Highness led the army to the outside of the city!"
"We are saved!"
At this moment, the defenders in Nia City and received the news, all of them were filled with tears of excitement. Many people walked out of the house to cheer, and the soldiers above the city hugged and cheered. Everyone held their weapons high, thanking the gods and the church, and His Highness, the Bloodborne Saint who came to save them,
At the city, the two sides had a total of millions of troops, and at this moment they collided on the Sumeran Plain. The human coalition and the Holy Seville Empire army looked at each other, kept approaching, and finally stopped.
Standing on the city of Nia and looking at the mighty legion, everyone felt a trembling excitement surging in their hearts. This appeared in front of them like an epic scene of mythology, as if they had witnessed the battle of heroes in mythology, making people feel uncontrollable.
"Will the fight start?"
"This will be a battle that will be loaded into the mythological epic, and we are all witnesses!"
"Join the war! Join the war!"
