Chapter 494: The Battle of Restoration
In the Demon King’s Calendar, it’s early May 649.
The weather is cloudy.
8am.
The troops that had already assembled formed a neat square formation, and the footsteps of tens of thousands of people brought a dull echo, like a giant beast pacing.
The soldiers' iron boots stepped on the farmland that had turned into scorched earth, approaching the Silver City step by step.
Of course, the Enwei Demon Kingdom army currently guarding the Silver City would not turn a blind eye. Surrounded by the great plains, Viola's army was discovered as soon as they set off.
A large number of people hurriedly came up the city wall. The crossbows were unsheathed and their swords were unsheathed. Mixed with the beating of military drums, a murderous atmosphere arose spontaneously.
"My loyal and brave soldiers of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus!"
Viola rode her horse back and forth between the infantry phalanxes, her voice amplified by magic to ensure that everyone could hear it.
"We fled our capital a year ago. I never doubted that we would be able to come back. The invaders would be destroyed and they would pay the price!"
Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Viola continued to shout: "No one can take away the honor of Avarus. We must fight. We must win from the invaders, from the hands of these capitulators, Take back our motherland from those cunning and ignorant infidels!”
"For Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"For the sake of the Demon King and God Lord!"
"Today is the day when we take back everything! The kings of the past generations are watching us! The Demon King and God are watching us! We are invincible!"
Drawing out her sword, Viola spurred her horse forward.
"Soldiers, attack with me!"
The soldiers shouted, 'Glory to the Demon King God! ’, ‘Follow Her Royal Highness! ’ slogan, followed closely by phalanxes of various sizes composed of tens of thousands of soldiers.
They progressed from fast walking to fast running, and the formation was slightly chaotic as a result.
At this time, a ray of light fell from the sky, and all the believers of the Demon King God in the army seemed to hear the exciting military music, and they also seemed to see the avenging angel with four wings of flames on its back walking with them.
And all the defenders saw this scene.
For the Enwei Demon Kingdom army, Viola's troops are all a problem.
Although the morale seems to be very high, since most of the soldiers come from the lords who have taken refuge in Viola, the ownership is too complicated. It is already very difficult to break up and reorganize these people, let alone do it very cooperatively. train.
Secondly, in terms of ordnance and armor, since the heavy industrial zone in the central part is still in the hands of the Demon Kingdom of Enzo, Viola's soldiers basically only have leather armor plus one or two weapons. To be honest, this level of armament is about the same as that of peasant soldiers.
The last disadvantage is the number of people.
There are 70,000 to 80,000 Enwei Demon Kingdom troops guarding the Silver City, and Viola's army is about the same in total. There is no advantage in numbers, and the defenders have the advantage of city walls and defensive facilities. In this case Siege of a city is actually very difficult.
In fact, the Enwei Demon Kingdom does not intend to stick to it all the time. It was originally agreed to divide the four kingdoms of Avarus, but the Subia Demon Kingdom stayed behind closed doors, and the Tandelon Demon Kingdom had to deal with the Oswaya Demon Kingdom and the Lakshurea Demon Kingdom. The betrayal means that only Enwei Demon Kingdom itself is left.
The defenders' plan was to wait until the friendly forces in the central occupied area retreated, and then they would leave the City of Silver and return to their homeland.
And it doesn’t take much time, a month is enough. Of course Viola knew this, but she still chose to attack instead of waiting for the invaders to hand over the city.
Let’s not talk about what Viola thinks. The defenders must defend here. Once the Silver City is recaptured by Viola, the friendly forces remaining in the middle of Avarus will be cut off. The Demon Kingdom of Enwei will soon be cut off. As a result, a large number of active forces and young people of appropriate age may be lost. They are not only soldiers, but also productive forces. With so many people lost, the Enwei Demon Kingdom will not be easy to live in.
Since Viola was at such a huge disadvantage, she still launched an attack even though she knew she could get the Silver City back in just one month.
Then there was only one possibility, and she was sure of it.
The Silver City's defenses are not as good as those of the Open City, but the difference is not big. A standard circular city has four gates. Viola concentrated her strength and attacked the west gate. It seemed that she was planning to break through at a single point. In fact...
The noisy exclamations of the soldiers broke into the ears of the general who was guarding the city. He looked up and saw a huge hole suddenly opened in the dark clouds. It was as if the hand of a giant had come out of the hole and held tightly. He punched the soldiers on the wall below with his fists.
The terrible wind pressure is enough to make people move around like a gourd, and the harsh screams and rumbling sounds are like the roar of some kind of beast.
The soldiers who were staring at the enemy troops outside the city were frightened and fled. The mortal fear of giants was activated at this moment.
Viola's soldiers cheered louder. Now that the gods have fallen, only the Demon King God still shows his divine power, and the Demon King God is on our side!
However, when the fist approached about ten meters above the city wall, it suddenly stopped.
It wasn't that the fist itself wanted to stop. The soldiers who were waiting for the impact opened their eyes slightly. They saw something like a transparent shield blocking the fist and them. It didn't make the slightest sound, as if it was struck at the moment of impact. Blocking the fist falling from the sky from the mortal world.
The most important reason why Viola was able to recover so quickly was because of the help of a powerful creature that is currently unknown.
The garrison generals didn't know his true identity, and the enemy didn't believe what the enemy said about the Demon King God.
After all, the existence of the Demon King God has long been transformed into something similar to a fairy tale, so Enwei Demon King's army does not believe in the existence of the Demon King God at all. They only think it is some kind of unidentified powerful creature.
It might be a powerful mage, a demigod, or some unknown creature.
The multiverse world is a world that creates miracles. As long as the probability of anything happening is not 0, it will happen with the blessing of the huge plane base of the multiverse world.
So although it was outrageous, the Enwei Demon Kingdom army quickly accepted this fact and began to think of ways to counter it.
Compared with the blocking magic circle in a field environment, this time due to sufficient preparation time and still being in the city, they had enough time to open more than a dozen blocking barriers, even if there were another shattered barrier like the one outside the open city. Depending on the situation, there are also backup arrays available for use.
All the mages of Enwei Demon Kingdom's army have been transferred to maintain the barrier. They believe that as long as there is no external intervention, Princess Viola's current army alone will never be able to break through the Silver City.
The morale of the soldiers guarding the city was greatly boosted upon seeing this. They were not afraid of a simple war, but were afraid of this kind of unreasonable and absolute violence. Since they had a way to defend themselves, they naturally did not panic.
On the contrary, the morale of the attacking soldiers outside the city was obviously plummeting, and their charge with Viola was lagging behind.
Especially the soldiers brought by the lords. Unlike the soldiers under Viola's command, they have almost no believers. They clearly know that without external help, they will not be able to climb the city wall even if they pay a high price.
This situation is even more unfavorable to Viola.
The giant hand that fell from the sky hit him twice more as if unwilling to do so. Seeing that it had no effect, he had to take it back. As he went up and down, his morale became even lower.
However, just when the defenders thought they were safe, a beam of bright light broke through the dark clouds. It was obviously the warm light of the sun, but it felt a bit too dazzling, and it only illuminated the city wall...
