Chapter 636

Welsh??Moen was crowned.

At this moment when Anzu is about to fall.

Part of what happened in the Golden Oak Hall eventually spread, and under some conscious or unintentional control, the nobles who lived in the inner city but were not eligible to enter the Golden Oak Hall knew what happened in general, and they knew that the king had executed "treason". Knowing that the new king had acquired the allegiance of the Royal Knights before his coronation, that Baldwin Franklin, Duke of the Westlands had handed over the king's golden crown, and that Wales himself had crowned himself—except for these ostensible In addition to the process, only a few people know about the purge that took place in the Knights, and the fact that several great nobles were imprisoned after the coronation ceremony for treason.

In this way, the long-vacant throne finally had a king again, and the Royal Knights returned to the battlefield in the name of the king. On that day, many pale nobles came out of the Golden Oak Hall, while the previous noisy and noisy nobles came out. After that, the voices of various factions were unified into one place, and the news about the "southern reinforcements" began to spread throughout the city, and the new king came forward to confirm the authenticity of the news.

As a result, the soldiers defending the city were encouraged, the noble children of the various knights also settled down, the frightened citizens regained some courage, and the order in the capital city, which was on the verge of collapse, swayed around the edge of the cliff, and finally returned. Safe borders - while all this is temporary, that's what Saint-Sunil needs.

A huge arc of arcane split the air, with a strong flash and a series of explosions bombarding the city wall in the southeast, the huge shield of Saint Sunil rippled layer upon layer, eliminating the impact of the arc from the arc. Invisible, leaving only the remaining piece of electric light licking the shield and escaping in the air outside the city wall.

The soldiers were shaking, and a knight wearing a cloak of royal insignia was the first to climb up from the crowd, raised his sword and shouted hoarsely: "Ballista - enchanted arrows!!"

The inspirational halo of the knights spread to all directions, allowing the soldiers as ordinary people to quickly restore their mobility. The soldiers rushed to the nearest ballista and the platform stacked with arrows, and began to quickly prepare to counterattack - the so-called city defense ballista The "arrow" is actually a standard-sized war spear. The steel arrow is inlaid with a little bit of mithril. The battle mage is guarding the ballista. After seeing the soldier putting the new arrow into the groove, he immediately The power of magic infused into those Mithrils.

The bowstring vibrated with a "bang", and the huge "arrows" with shimmering arrows burst out of the air. Before the magic power contained in Xu Miyin was completely dissipated, they had already drawn an arc and fell into the surging layer on the plain. A moving tide of terror, a flash of light erupted at the point of the fall, followed by a large and small explosion of fire.

On the city wall, the knight raised his long sword again and shouted loudly: "Reload - aim!" "Let it go!!"

The second round of enchanted crossbows fell to the battlefield,

Along with those huge arrows flying out, there were also the large arcane missiles fired by the Battle Mage Tower behind the city wall. It is the same grand counterattack - even the frenzied monster has the instinct to counterattack, and the arcane arc of the storm is coming in an instant.

A holy white light came just right, blocking those arcane arcs before they began to consume the great shield of Saint Sunil. Veronica, wearing a plain white robe, walked slowly up the city wall, her hands slightly Opening, the holy light floated in the air beside her, resonating faintly with the entire priesthood behind her.

"The priest's group is here!" The knight commanding the defense line here shouted in surprise, "Everyone resets, reloads, and continues to fight back!!"

A large number of priests of the Holy Light in white robes and the Holy See knights in white armor ran up the city wall from behind Veronica, and while releasing various divine arts to help resist the attack of the cluster giants, they began to quickly heal the wounded soldiers. ——Even with the existence of the Great Shield of Saint Sunil, not all attacks can be blocked. Occasionally, the arcane lightning that penetrates the shield and the shock wave generated when the shield vibrates violently will cause casualties to the defending soldiers. , and the priests who have the ability to heal are particularly important at this time.

All kinds of shouts filled the surroundings, sometimes mixed with various sounds of magic explosion, shield resonance, and bow and crossbow firing. This hell full of death and war and the serene and peaceful Cathedral of Holy Light seemed to be two extremes. Ronica was in it, and her face still maintained an indifferent and holy look, as if she was not affected by the surrounding environment at all.

In fact, she was even surrounded by a layer of substantive "quiet" aura, as if the peaceful environment of the Cathedral of Holy Light had been solidified on her, and she came to the city wall with her actions.

"Just because there is a king on the throne..."

Veronica quietly watched the scene in front of her, and said softly in a voice that only she could hear clearly.

A middle-level priest in a robe with a gold edge on a white background ran to Veronica: "My Lady! There are a lot of casualties on the western part of the city wall, and the priests there..."

Veronica smiled gently, and said in a reassuring tone: "You can bring people to support you, just leave it to me here."

"Sir, your safety..."

"You are here to protect this city, not me," Veronica interrupted. "Go, I won't be able to protect myself."

"……Yes."

The priests quickly left, and Veronica stood quietly on the city wall where the battle was going on. The power of the Holy Light slowly diffused from her side, covering all the nearby soldiers and part of Saint Sunil. Shield, this steady stream of powerful holy light even surpassed the combined power of the entire priesthood. Under the protection of holy light, this line of defense quickly stabilized and even entered a stage of powerful counterattacks.

The knight in command of the defense cast a grateful glance at Veronica, but did not have time to come to thank him in detail—if it was the usual time, the knight would definitely not miss this opportunity to talk and pay tribute to the "Princess". But now, the task of defending the city is clearly more important than anything else.

Veronica just nodded to the knight lightly, then lowered her head and looked at the holy light escaping around her.

The power of this light is constantly flowing, and even if you don't deliberately pray and guide, they are emerging and gathering naturally.

"The will to protect... very strong," Veronica whispered to herself, stirring a ray of holy light beside her as if her fingers were fiddling with something tangible, "Interestingly, a small amount of light on the city wall Non-Holy Light believers are also receiving equal protection...

"Will human's desire for survival exceed the constraints planned by the field of belief at this moment...

"People are really guiding the Holy Light..."

Veronica raised her head and looked at another section of the city wall not far away.

The new king of Ansu, who had just completed his coronation yesterday, stood upright behind the wall. He was leaning on the king's sword in both hands. His armor with intricate golden patterns shone in the sun, and the royal cape with gold patterns on a blue background was behind him. Slightly swayed, while the king's golden crown was still on his head, heavy and solemn.

This is a particularly eye-catching dress for any occasion. From a practical point of view, wearing such a bright armor on the battlefield can only make oneself a target of the enemy quickly, but here, only enough to be eye-catching and defending the city Only the soldiers can see clearly where the king is and can maintain high morale.

Whether it is the coronation of the new king, the reinforcement of the army, or the strong control of the knights over the nobles, the fighting spirit and unity brought by all these means are temporary. This is a besieged and lonely city, and the enemies outside are endless. Endless, no matter how tough the iron will is, it will continue to be consumed in this difficult situation, so the king must stand on the city wall to prolong this "temporary" as long as possible.

A gust of wind sounded, and Baldwin Franklin landed next to Welsh Moen with his flying technique: "Your Majesty, the shield of the western section of the city wall has been recharged, the wall is repairing itself, and the defense line is temporarily stabilized."

Wales nodded lightly: "How are the casualties?"

"Three hundred and twenty soldiers were injured, and twenty-seven died on the spot, but the priests arrived in time, and the casualties did not expand further."

"Where's the Western Wall?"

"Still intact, the shield blocks the most powerful blow."

The so-called west wall fortress refers to the defensive structure formed by including a part of the main city wall extending forward in the western section, plus the entire west side of the "fortress", which corresponds to the east wall fortress. These two fortress structures are the biggest reliance of Saint Sunil when facing the attack from the Holy Spirit Plain.

Wales breathed a sigh of relief and looked away from the plain: "Keep this situation, and we will be able to defend."

"But we will use up the energy of the mage tower on the fifth or sixth day, and the big shield will be close to the limit. After that, we can only use human life to resist."

"Seven hundred years ago, our ancestors used human life to knock down this place. Now, there is nothing wrong with using human life to guard it."

Duke Baldwin's eyes stayed on Wales' face for a long time, and finally said softly: "Your Majesty, almost everyone can't really see you clearly."

Wales did not look back, but said quietly: "Actually, their judgment was correct."

After two seconds of silence, Baldwin let out a faint sigh, and then said: "Your Majesty, if everything goes as you wish, the army of Gawain Duke Cecil will arrive in seven days. How to do it, this army has the power to kill these monsters, and has the ability to quell this disaster."

"I know."

"...Then, it seems that this is also in your plan."

The city wall fell into a silent silence for a while, only the distant shouts and the whistling and roaring in the air came one after another. After a whole number of minutes, the voice of Duke Baldwin broke the silence: "Your Majesty, everything is Prepare for the worst, if reinforcements don't arrive in seven days, are you ready?"

"Of course," said Wales quietly, "my name is Moen."

"Then Franklin is with you."

...

The dazzling stream of light formed by the "calibrator" beam gradually dissipated, and only a twisted trajectory remained in the air, showing that the terrible torrent had existed before, and after the cluster clusters on the river bank that might have threatened armored cargo ships were eliminated, The entire fleet began to accelerate again, and continued to advance rapidly towards the north bank of the Gorgon River.

On the Pioneer, a huge armored griffin landed smoothly on the wide deck. A female griffin knight turned over and jumped off the mount. After handing her partner to the corresponding soldier, the female knight walked not far away. the bridge.

A few minutes later, Amber came to Gawain:

"The Griffin Knight observed signs of large-scale fighting far to the north, located on the west bank of the Gorgon River. It seems that someone is organizing to block the river bank to resist the crystal cluster crossing the river-judging from the magic reaction, the party blocking the river bank did not. at a disadvantage."

"It seems that the Royal Capital is not completely paralyzed... At least they still have the energy to block off part of the banks of the Gorgon River to prevent the spread of pollution," Gawain nodded slightly and said with relief, "It should be Duke Franklin's. The Western Frontier Corps has arrived—the Western Frontier Corps is not as powerful as the Eastern Territory and the Northern Territory, but it is at least one of the National Protector Corps, and it can still be done by blocking a river bank."

Amber also nodded: "In this way, we don't have to worry too much about the problem of polluting the river, and we can get to the north earlier..."

Just halfway through her words, she saw an MIIA operative hurried over, with a strange expression on the operative's face, and tightly holding a piece of information just transcribed in his hand.

Amber took the piece of information, glanced at it hastily, and handed it to Gawain with surprise:

"Two major pieces of information.

"First, it may be because the fleet is approaching the intact relay station in the north. We have just resumed communication with the Saint-Sunil liaison station. Although the signal is unstable, we can barely communicate.

"Second, Welsh Moen is crowned."
