Chapter 500: Collapse of Defense
God of War Tempus, he is the god of warriors and the god of war. This powerful god is also a member of the neutral gods, and he is quite moody.
Sometimes, both sides of the war believe in Tempus. He will help one of them today and the other tomorrow. Begging Tempus for help is very risky and uncertain.
Besides, now that the gods have fallen, even the God of War has not been spared, and his prayers are bound to get no answer.
Since Enwei Demon Kingdom's army had abandoned the western city wall and all troops were evacuating as much as possible, Viola's soldiers quickly seized control of the city wall and opened the city gate with the help of the guard golem.
As for the rubble formed by the collapse of the tower, it was like the white dragon pushing sand. A path was cleared in a few strokes. The soldiers poured in along the gate, with an unprecedented fighting spirit.
This was a war to regain the capital and an important turning point in the restoration of the country. Even if they were not infected by patriotic sentiments, the soldiers knew that after the restoration of the country, the Demon Kingdom of Avarus would need a large number of officials. If they performed well on the battlefield, they might be able to Get a noble man.
Military merit is different from other merits and will never be discounted. For example, the soldiers who were the first to rush to the city wall could still be regarded as lords.
Contrary to their high morale, the soldiers of Enwei Demon Kingdom can almost be described as chaotic.
The retreat was too hasty. Many soldiers had no time to get down from the city wall, and the large army had already disappeared. At this critical moment, Viola was not in the mood to capture prisoners. She was mainly busy attacking the city and had no time to look after the prisoners. .
Therefore, there is no possibility of laying down arms and surrendering immediately.
Trying to find a way out is not an easy task. The white dragon and the three-meter-tall golem are watching from the side. Once they attract their attention, there is basically no future.
Not long after, the soldiers who were originally responsible for guarding the gate fled to death, and the entire west gate was completely under Viola's control.
But Wendy, who was at the rear command post, immediately ordered not to advance rashly.
Taking down the city gate is just the first step, and the street fighting that follows is the most troublesome part.
Moreover, the Silver City has four gates, and there are also large numbers of soldiers stationed at the other three gates. Once you rush too fast, you will easily be beaten by Enwei Demon Kingdom's army.
At that time, it will not be a direct attack on Huanglong, but an invitation to enter the urn and catch the turtle in the urn.
So Wendy asked the soldiers who entered the west gate to rest where they were, and to gain a firm foothold before talking about the attack. It was easy to fall into the trap with a hot head.
A siege war cannot end in a day or two. What's more, when the Silver City was first established, the city was considered as a part of the defense facilities. The army entered and followed it like a maze, and in the number of soldiers On the other hand, I have no advantage, so I can’t advance rashly.
But Li Chengqi would definitely not think so.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Li Chengqi's eyes were still fixed on the screen. The drone that had just been used as a transport aircraft had been taken out and placed on the computer table aside.
Because it is no longer needed for the time being, continuing to maintain it will be a waste of faith points, so it is better to take it out.
It was a good thing that the advance went very smoothly, but in fact not many soldiers from the Demon Kingdom of Enwei were killed.
The killing efficiency in the era of cold weapons was such that not many people could be killed even if they fought for a long time. The Enwei Demon Kingdom army that had withdrawn into the city still maintained its combat effectiveness.
"What should we have for lunch? You've been staring at it for hours."
"Let's deal with it first with instant noodles, and then we'll have something to eat at night."
Li Chengqi must pay close attention to the development of the battle situation to prevent Enwei Demon Kingdom from jumping over the wall in a hurry. He is a little concerned about the secret weapon Tempus said.
Originally, it didn't matter to Aida what she ate, as long as it could fill her stomach, but maybe after staying on Earth for a long time, she began to pursue good food. But seeing how focused Li Chengqi was, he had no choice but to run to get an electric kettle to boil water and deal with it first.
Once entering the street fighting stage, the extent of Li Chengqi's interference will be much smaller, that is, he can only use a magnifying glass to shoot another wave of sunlight.
After all, this city still needs it. If he doesn't care about the civilians in the city, Li Chengqi can just throw in the earth red hanging that he didn't put out during the New Year and it's basically done. There's no need to go to such trouble.
If he wanted to help Viola capture the city as quickly as possible, Li Chengqi had to intervene directly. For example, he could reach in and sweep along the street, and the Enwei Demon King's army, which was defending at the intersection of the street, would be killed suddenly on the spot.
But the existence of the blocking barrier makes direct intervention impossible.
So Li Chengqi is staring at the screen intently, waiting for the barrier to disappear.
He didn't want to delay it too long. Yang Yiyi would disembark tomorrow, and Li Chengqi would have to keep one eye on Viola and one eye on Yang Yiyi. He was really too busy.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The civilians in the city did not know the situation of the war, nor did they want to know. They all locked themselves in their houses, and some even hid in the basement, listening to the shouts of death and terrifying explosions outside, praying that this would pass quickly.
People in the capital have lived a comfortable life for too long and have almost completely lost their blood. Unlike the open city, when they hear that Viola is coming to the city, they all tie a red cloth on their shoulders and go to the streets to participate in the grand event. They don't have the courage. .
However, it was precisely because all the civilians were hiding at home that no one noticed the more than twenty figures running quickly on the roof, carefully avoiding the checkpoints set up by the Enwei Demon Kingdom army, as fast as the breeze.
That was the reconnaissance force led by Hill.
Those who are capable scouts are not just fish, they are all elites in the army. Hill's team was originally a gang member who lived in the City of Silver, and they knew every corner of the city very well.
At this time, the advantage of the locals became apparent. They had almost no hesitation, and they knew exactly where to go to avoid the eyes at a glance at the map.
When a group of people passed through a bell tower and stopped lightly on the roof, it was like passing through an invisible membrane, leaving a slightly sticky feeling on the skin.
They peeled off the wooden planks of the roof and quietly showed their heads.
You can see a group of guys dressed as mages forming a circle in the open space in front of several houses, maintaining the magic circle on the ground. The surging magic aura is particularly conspicuous in the heavy rain.
The area that this blocking array can cover is limited, so in order to cover the entire Silver City, the Enwei Demon Army chose to deploy multiple arrays at different locations.
In order to prevent being discovered, when the magic circle was opened, the illusion barrier was also opened. Unless you get close to a certain distance, you cannot see these magic circles.
This is to prevent Viola's soldiers from attacking these magic circles. Once they are lost, the Enwei Demon Kingdom's army will lose its last line of protection.
But Aldai and Hill sneaked in together before, and they didn't just come to hang out.
The arrangement of the magic circle cannot be completed in a day or two. While they were setting up the magic circle, Hill had already figured out the location during the previous investigation.
Now that Ximen had missed, Hill, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately took action. It was time to pull out the nail.
After making a gesture, everyone took out the alchemy bombs placed in their backpacks. For a while, explosions continued to erupt throughout the city...
