NOVEL WEB Chapter 43 Breaking the Ice City
The quartermaster had a dispute with Leonard about launching the Holy Front.
"The president of the silver coin is going deep into the enemy camp to investigate the situation, and launching it now will put him in danger." The quartermaster said.
Leonard waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, he is over ninety years old, he will protect himself, even if he really encounters misfortune, count him as dedicating himself to the light."
The quartermaster understood the meaning of this passage, "It is worthless to die if you are over ninety years old", but this is not the first time Leonard has disregarded other people's lives like this. The quartermaster has long been used to it, and turned to Speaking of:
"But we haven't found out the source of the holy essence yet. If there is any accident, we will lose this source of supply."
The quartermaster didn't quite understand why Leonard suddenly changed his mind. If he couldn't grasp the source of goods, it would be better to keep the status quo. At least nine times the profit could be made. With some water, it would not be a problem to increase to fourteen or five times.
"Can there be any surprises? If someone is caught and tortured, you can always ask. With such a large amount of essence and such a high purity, it is estimated that there will be a large forest of native holy mushrooms. It is not something that three to five hundred people can handle. , and you can ask if you catch three or five." Leonard said disapprovingly.
"But..." The quartermaster wanted to say something, and received the latest news from the silver coin that there was a storm that periodically spread to the entire abyss in that place. All living things could not survive the storm and had to find a place to hide. Continuity of War is huge disruption.
"How can there be so many things? Purify the abyss, eliminate heresies, spread light, and spread the gospel. Isn't that the goal of our Holy Front Legion? Clean up the filth with the holy front. If someone sacrifices for this, it is their glory , go!" Leonard's tone already seemed impatient.
The quartermaster didn't dare to say anything, turned his head and left with a low eyebrow.
Lying there lazily for a long while, Leonard took out his Holy Front badge, on which a strange symbol was slowly flashing.
The holy front badge is the symbol of the highest power of the holy front army. Each symbol on it has its own meaning. Now this symbol is called the highest mobilization order. When this symbol appears, the holy front army must do the highest mobilization Ready, always ready for battle.
Since he took over the position of God Knight of the Holy Front Legion, Leonard did not think that this symbol would light up one day. He spent a lot of money to transfer to the Holy Front Legion. In name, he guarded the abyss, but he thought I am here to retire.
The Holy Front Army is stationed in the backcountry, far away from the center of power. The only advantage is that they can buy some Abyss local products and play with a few rural girls. They finally found a way to make money. Before they got it, they received a mobilization order. Are you kidding? .
Leonard doesn’t have the patience to wait any longer. He hastened to grab the money. It’s true to make more money. I don’t know what this mobilization order means. If it’s too dangerous, it’s true to find a way to change places. .
But money is always needed for management, and money is the most practical thing. As for how many more people will die? It doesn't matter if they are just ordinary people or untouchables. The mission of the Saint Front Legion is to clean the abyss. It is their glory to sacrifice for the mission.
...
When Ferlin dragged him to the new area of the underground city, what Ange saw were tens of thousands of wailing refugees.
There were only 100 holy vanguards sent over. Under the joint efforts of the two holy servants, 100 holy vanguards were delivered suddenly to the isthmus square in front of the gate of the ice city. The 150 tons of grain before The three of them and the silver coins were also delivered to this location.
For delivery, the space requirement is stricter than that of the teleportation array. Near the Ice City, the Isthmus Square is the most suitable.
When the food was delivered, Ice City was prepared, and the weapons and personnel were ready to prevent accidents, but Anna and Lan left in the morning. Because they were carrying silver coins, they didn't think the enemy would attack, so they didn't Raise the alert level.
When the two holy servants walked into the square to start the positioning ceremony, the guards of Ice City didn't know what happened, they reported it layer by layer, and when there was feedback, a burst of bright light flashed, and a hundred fully armed holy vanguards Already appeared in the center of the square.
Facing a heavily armed enemy, they knew what to do without reporting to the guards. They quickly turned the crossbow to prepare for firing, and then they witnessed a very professional siege battle.
Ten tall and strong heavy-armored shield men carried heavy shields that were taller than people, and stood in the front row of the team. They buckled left and right, buckled together with the shield next to them, and inserted the tip of the bottom into the ground to hold it firmly. .
The ten priests cast the Holy Shield and blessed it on the heavy shield, and saw translucent shields floating on the surface of the heavy shield.
The two paladins stuck their two-handed swords into the ground, knelt down on one knee, and held the hilts of their swords with both hands. Their bodies radiated halos, and where the halos touched, everyone's bodies shone with small stars.
The aura of devotion can improve the defense of the players in the aura.
With the blessing of heavy shield, holy shield, and pious halo, the whole team is as solid as gold.
The rest of the staff began to prepare. Among them, eight paladins summoned their own horses. Only paladins have the ability to summon war horses. There are only ten paladins in this team, which means ten cavalry at most.
Buzz buzz! Three bowstrings sounded in succession, two arm-thick city defense crossbow arrows were nailed to the heavy shield, and one shot into the air. The arrowhead of the crossbow bolt that hit the target shattered, and the shaft of the arrow shattered into thousands of sawdust.
The holy shield on the surface of the heavy shield wall shattered first, and then the crossbow arrows fell on the heavy shield. Behind the shield wall, the heavy armored shield warrior and the shield warriors on the left and right who were shot spurted out a mouthful of blood as if struck by lightning.
The priest healed immediately, an emergency healing spell to suppress the internal injuries he suffered, and another spell of Holy Light's grace to slowly recover more damage.
Among the eight paladins who summoned their horses, one had a red cloak, and he shouted loudly: "Shield wall, move forward!"
The heavy shield man picked up the shield and walked forward in a slow and heavy step, step by step.
"Harry Road—Messiah—Portia—Sisma—Amaka—" Everyone chanted the hymn neatly, a three-tone hymn, coordinating everyone's pace , let everyone maintain a uniform rhythm, and the shield wall can fit perfectly.
And the content of hymns is nothing like "praise God, praise the Lord, give clothes, give food, be free from sickness" and the like.
Seeing that the crossbow had been wound, he heard the red cloak paladin shout: "Stop! Shield!"
The crossbowman in the wall hole didn't know what to do, it didn't work if he shot, and it didn't work if he didn't shoot.
Seeing that the crossbow arrows were drawn but not fired, the red cloak paladin immediately changed his order: "Shield wall! Advance alternately."
So the shield wall was divided into two halves, one half was stationary, the other half advanced a certain distance, stopped, and the other half moved forward, alternating in this way, the team slowly pushed into the city wall.
There was chaos on the walls, and they had never seen such a professional attack.
Because of the wind of rest, there has been no large-scale war in this world for more than a thousand years, and there are almost no regular offensive and defensive wars. The defense ability of Ice City is comparable to that of the Holy Vanguard, and it is comparable to that of the village militia and The difference between the regular army.
Close to the distance of the bow and arrow, the red cloak knight waved: "Crossbow arrow, suppress."
Almost half of the entire team carried arrows, firing fifty rounds in a wave, taking turns, and the defenders in the wall hole were suppressed so that they could not lift their heads.
The red cloak knights got on their horses and marched forward in line. Every time they took a step forward, the holy light on their bodies became brighter. Led by the red cloak paladins, the eight paladins stepped out like thousands of horses. The power surged among them, and finally turned into a cry that resounded throughout the world: "Holy! Charge!"
The power of the eight paladins merged into one, and they hit the city gate, splinters flew, and the ice city was broken.
