Blasphemy Chapter 2: Under the illusion
"So why do we need to worry about the sneak attacks of the Delawares? How can their sneak attack troops escape the eyes of the dragon flying high in the sky?"
Roger took a deep look at Wallace and said softly: "So in this war, what we have to do is to eradicate everything...that dares to stand in front of the goddess!"
Originally, Soratu City should have ushered in another sunny morning.
However, a thick cloud swept across the sky in the distance at an incredible speed. Cast on the earth, there is a clear line between shadow and light. This dividing line between light and darkness quickly swept across the land, driving all sunlight and warmth away from the city of Soratu, and also driving all hope out of the city.
Viscount Fernandez stood at the top of the city. What he held in his hand was no longer a crystal cup, but the hilt of a sword. It's just that his gorgeous dark black dress is incompatible with the clank armor of the soldiers around him.
He looked up at the sky.
The force that pushed the thick clouds away seemed to disappear as soon as it arrived at Soratu City. The clouds stayed over the city, getting thicker and lower, and centered on Soratu City. Spin slowly. In the wilderness more than ten kilometers away, the sun is still shining brightly. You can see the towering Ampere Peak shining in the background of the blue sky. The black-green coniferous forest covers the sunny slopes, like a silent giant guarding the road leading to the Delaware Emperor. all passages. But not a ray of sunlight could shine through the clouds into Soratu City, as if the night had not left the city. Orange lights shone from several nearby houses, making it look particularly cold and strange, contrary to the usual warmth.
Looking at the leaden gray cloud vortex, Fernandez suddenly felt that it was not the sky that was moving, but the ground that was spinning.
"Have any of our scout cavalry paid off?"
The middle-aged knight who has been accompanying Fernandez replied: "Sir Fernandez, I have sent fifteen teams of scout cavalry, but... none of them have returned yet!"
The voice of this knight who looked like he had experienced hundreds of battles was also trembling. He is not afraid of visible enemies, but sometimes the unknown is the scariest thing.
Fernandez just sighed.
A sudden sound of horse hooves came from the city. The messenger on the horse jumped off his horse and ran to the top of the city as fast as he could. He gasped: "Sir! The cavalry of the Tidal Legion appeared in the east of the city!"
Before the messenger finished speaking, another messenger also galloped to the city. It turned out that the cavalry of the Tide Legion also appeared in the south of the city.
These two groups of cavalry were wandering far outside the city, each numbering around five thousand. Although they had no intention of attacking the city, Fernandez knew that these leading cavalry were only here to complete the encirclement, and the main force would arrive soon. The number of light cavalry in advance has reached 10,000. It seems that this time, the Tide Legion will fight with all its strength.
"Sir Fernandez, you'd better put on your armor!" the middle-aged knight advised.
Fernandez smiled bitterly and said: "If it comes time for me to go into battle in person, it means that we have been completely defeated. So this armor is the same whether it is worn or not."
The earth began to tremble slightly, billowing smoke and dust rose on the horizon, and bursts of low thunder thunder could be heard in the distance!
In the red dust of the sky, a steel forest gradually emerged, which was the spear held high by the heavy cavalry.
Two thousand heavy cavalry formed a charge line at the front of Sorathu City. Behind them, four thousand followers also wore light armor, held axes and raised shields, and set up battle formations.
The middle-aged knight on the top of the city was a little pale. He didn't care about the heavy cavalry below the city, he just stared at the horizon in the distance.
Not only did the billowing red smoke cloud not dissipate, it actually got higher and higher!
Infantry phalanxes stepped out of the red clouds one after another, and this torrent of steel seemed to never end.
Fernandez looked at the fluttering battle flag in the center of the army below the city. After carefully identifying it for a long time, he could not see which family the badge belonged to. He was not familiar with the noble lineage of the Asrofic Empire, so he turned to the middle-aged knight for help. The knight looked at it for a long time and could only see that the owner of this golden badge had outstanding military exploits and was powerful. Other than that, he could see nothing else.
But it doesn’t matter who is leading the army below the city. What’s important is that just on the front of the city, more than 30,000 troops have been assembled!
Although Soratu's city defense is strong, it has a population of only 50,000 and a garrison of only 10,000. But this is not the main battlefield on the southeastern front of the empire. Therefore, when the Tidal Legion occasionally came to attack in the past, they would only come with more than 10,000 people at most, and they would never rush to attack Soratu, which has a high wall and a strong city. But this time, counting the 10,000 light cavalry surrounding them, the Asrofic Empire has already dispatched 40,000 troops! And they didn't know what means they used, but they actually eliminated all the scouts sent by Soratu City, leaving Fernandez unable to even call for help.
Fernandez had a keen sense of smell, and when he saw signs that something was wrong, he thought about running away immediately. However, the other party has the ability to silently eliminate all his scouts. If he leaves the city, he will probably be sniped halfway if he brings few people with him, but he cannot bring too many people with him. If the city lord fled without fighting, it would be a crime of beheading in any country. There are nearly 10,000 defenders in Soratu City. In the fortified city, even if they face three or four times the number of enemies, they can still hold on. Therefore, it is indeed too risky to flee when the enemy's situation is unclear.
In this moment of hesitation, the imperial army has already laid siege to the city! This time Fernandez couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
"We still have a chance!" Fernandez calmed down and shouted to the soldiers.
With 10,000 soldiers stationed in the fortified city, Fernandez brought many mages when he took office as the city lord, plus the middle-aged civilians to assist in the battle, this battle still has to be fought. Most of the Soratu defenders were veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. When they thought of this, they calmed down a lot and their morale rose again.
However, Fernandez then asked in a voice that only the middle-aged knight could hear: "Look...do we have a chance to surrender?"
The middle-aged knight smiled bitterly and replied in a very low voice: "Lord Fernandez, I'm afraid we will never have this opportunity again..."
The Soratu warriors on the top of the city suddenly exclaimed!
In the center of the Tidal Legion formation, a large flag was raised on both sides of the high-flying battle flag. The flag fluttering in the wind has no decoration, just a dark red that is almost purple-black!
The strong wind blew the flag, and it roared fiercely like a hymn to the **** of death!
When these two dark red battle flags were raised, even the soldiers of the empire were stunned. They stared at the two military flags intently, and bloodshot eyes began to appear. An exceptionally strong and heavily armored warrior suddenly struck the heavy shield with the giant ax in his hand and roared to the sky! In the blink of an eye, as if in response to him, other imperial warriors began to howl wildly! Even the heavy cavalry in the front row roared almost forgetfully!
When the **** double flags of the imperial army appear on the battlefield, it means that they will not accept the surrender of the enemy, whether they are soldiers or civilians!
"They...are going to massacre the city!" Fernandez grabbed the hand holding the sword so hard that his joints turned blue and white. All the Delaware defenders on the city head involuntarily clenched their weapons.
Fernandez suddenly drew out his sword and shouted loudly: "Come here! Mobilize the whole city and pull out all the people who can move to defend the city! Today, we have to drive these Asrovik donkeys back Home is not allowed!"
Fernandez looked very confident on the surface, but he was extremely frightened in his heart. He looked at the middle-aged knight. This loyal and battlefield-experienced veteran had a pale face and the same worry as him in his eyes. The emperor raised the two **** flags before attacking the city, which would inevitably force all the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight to the death. There are only two reasons for them to do this. One is that the commander is a complete idiot, and the other is that they are absolutely sure to kill all the creatures in the city!
However, Fernandez thought about the history of the empire that he had read. Among the generals guarding the Asrosk Empire, which started out as a conquest, there may indeed be mediocre people, but there are definitely no idiots! Especially this vulgar badge under the city. The decorations on it all represent outstanding military achievements!
The roaring imperial army suddenly quieted down, and with flying flags, a heavily armored warrior strode out.
He is not tall, but the armor he wears is so thick that every step he takes will leave a deep footprint on the red wasteland. The warrior was holding a battle ax in his hand. This huge ax, which seemed to weigh at least thirty or forty kilograms, was as light as weightless in his hand.
The heavily armored warriors did not stop until they were 500 meters away from the city, looking up at the defenders on top of the city. Although Fernandez couldn't see the warrior's face hidden under the full-face helmet, he could fully feel the coldness in the eyes behind the helmet.
With a cry, a magician on the top of the city couldn't resist the temptation and shot a fireball at the heavily armored warrior. A faint silver light suddenly appeared around the heavily armored warrior. He raised his giant ax high and looked coldly at the fireball flying closer and closer.
When the fireball came close, the heavily armored warrior suddenly shouted and swung his giant ax, and actually knocked the fireball away!
After the billowing waves of fire, he still stood, unscathed!
A strange and vague sound of chanting suddenly sounded on the battlefield. Even many soldiers on the top of Soratu City looked suspicious. They seemed to have heard someone chanting magic spells, but just now As soon as I concentrated, I couldn't hear anything.
As soon as the curse stopped, a dark gray cloud with a radius of ten meters appeared at the top of Soratu City, shrouding the magician who just fired the fireball and the surrounding warriors.
A look of extreme fear suddenly appeared on the mage's face. His whole body twitched, his eyes protruded, and he screamed wildly, but no sound came out of his mouth, as if something was blocking his throat. The mage desperately strangled his neck with both hands, but his face was rapidly fading, and finally, the mage fell softly to the ground.
When he fell, he was already like a mummy!
The gray fog is billowing and gathering.
The soldiers in the fog fell one after another. Only a few alert warriors on the edge of the gray fog escaped the range of the gray fog in time.
"This...this is...the fog of death!" Fernandez couldn't help but groaned secretly.
There is a great mage under the city! It seems that this is the trump card that the emperor relies on.
Fernandez must find a way to kill this great mage, otherwise Soratu City will be destroyed. His eyes kept searching among the army below the city, and suddenly he saw a mysterious man in black robe holding a bone staff standing under the central battle flag, chanting a spell. He couldn't help but be surprised again. The black-robed mage was nearly a thousand meters away from the head of Soratu City. Being able to cast the fog of death at this distance meant that he must have added a skill to increase the range of this magic!
Such magical skills have obviously surpassed those of the most advanced magisters!
Before Fernandez could figure out how to deal with this unexpected great mage, the black-robed mage had completed his second spell!
The ground in front of Sorathu City suddenly rumbled and shook! The solid and thick red soil couldn't help but surge. The Delaware warriors on top of the city could hardly believe their eyes, but the ground in front of the city was indeed rising!
"Terrain Change", an eighth-level magic, has always been known for being extremely difficult to control, and it is almost useless in a duel between powerful magicians. Therefore, no great mage is willing to spend many years to master this magic. Therefore, after being passed down from generation to generation, almost no one in the world today can master this magic, and most younger mages have never even heard of this magic.
When the thrilling trembling of the earth finally ended, the ground in front of Soratu City had risen fifteen meters, forming a gentle and wide **** leading straight to the city head.
The original high walls of Sorathu City have become smooth roads!
Fernandez covered his face in despair.
At this time, the mages from both sides have begun to use magic to suppress each other. The mages on the top of the city took advantage of the shooting range, but the heavy knights in the center of the imperial army suddenly separated to both sides, revealing a whole row of fanatical mages behind them!
Not only did the Mad Faith Mages have far more magic power than Soratu Mages, they also had an overwhelming advantage in numbers. Therefore, they had easily suppressed Soratu Mages in just two rounds of fighting. Every time a Delaware mage shoots a round of attack magic, it will attract several times of counterattack. Two unlucky magicians even fell into a new fog of death!
Rogge, who was standing alone at the foot of Soratu City, looked through the slit in his helmet at the gorgeous magic flying across the sky, and suddenly felt extremely thirsty! He licked his almost cracked lips, raised the battle ax in his hand high, and slowly pointed at the city head!
Behind him, there were heavy and thunderous footsteps! Rogge didn't need to look back to know that tens of thousands of heavy infantry were marching out in uniform steps, ready to split the enemy's flesh and blood with their heavy axes.
Roger suddenly felt a heat all over his body, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated. His hand grasped the thick ax handle tightly, and the green steel gloves kept rubbing against the handle of the giant ax, making bursts of heart-wrenching sounds!
"It's so... so exciting!" Rogge sighed secretly. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had felt this way.
Rogg roared suddenly, held his battle ax horizontally, and strode towards the top of the city along the smooth road created by the lich Elgra with his amazing magic!
The ground around Rogge suddenly shook.
He turned around and saw a terrifying warrior standing two meters tall and wearing dark black heavy armor next to him. As a necromancer, Rogge immediately recognized this warrior as a black warrior from the strong aura of death on the warrior's body and the eyes flashing with death flames. But although this black warrior was very ordinary with heavy armor and a giant sword in his hand, for some reason, Rogge always felt that standing in front of him seemed to be a mountain that could only be looked up at!
"Dark Warrior Emperor?" Rogge was shocked!
Although he has only seen Elgra among the seven kings of death, he already knows the appearance of several other kings from the Lich's memory. Although Rogge had always wondered why the three men in black robes accompanying the goddess had such a strong and pure aura of death, he never expected that one of them would be the king of the death world, the Black Warrior Emperor!
So, where is Fengyue? What happened in the world of death? Rogge's heart trembled very lightly.
It was just that the Black Warrior Emperor's eyes burning with death flames glanced at Rogge indifferently and disdainfully, and then walked slowly towards the city.
Twenty meters apart, the two walked slowly up the city, looking directly at the thousands of defenders on the city as if they were nothing! The rain of arrows falling from the sky was unable to deal with Rogge's specially reinforced heavy armor, and the Black Warrior Emperor had an invisible shield around him, and no arrow could hit him within two meters.
The magic light flashed on the city top, a flaming arrow shot towards Rogge, and on the Black Warrior Emperor's side was a sharp ice pick!
Roger kept his pace, and now had a silver light shield in his hand, blocking the flaming arrows with ease. The Black Warrior Emperor snorted, raised his hand, and an invisible wind rolled up all the ice picks and sent them back to the city intact!
It’s just that a gray mist of death has already taken the lead, covering the location of the two Delaware mages.
Rogg glanced at the Black Warrior Emperor, then jumped up and jumped directly into the fog of death!
In an instant, he emerged from the other side of the fog of death that was littered with corpses. The giant ax in his hand swung past with a series of afterimages, cutting off the two warriors in front of him! Rogge smiled ferociously, completely ignoring the weapons thrust from all directions, and just waved his giant ax, slashing wildly! Soratu's warriors surged up like a tide, but they seemed to be crashing into an extremely solid reef. From time to time, bodies with missing limbs were thrown out. In the face of Fatty's terrifying power, their fate was like the waves splashing on the reef. There is only a shattered fate.
On the other side of the city wall, the Black Warrior harvests lives even faster than Rogge!
The earth shook again! The wide Soratu city wall shook for a while, and several huge cracks opened! The terrifying lich Elgra once again launched his magical attack, this time his target was a solid high wall.
At this time, the imperial heavy infantry has already set foot on the city! They used their heavy shields to hold back the enemies in front of them, and then took turns with their giant axes, no matter whether they were soldiers or civilians in front of the shields, whether they were strong men or old, weak, women and children, they just slashed hard! The screams, splashing blood, minced meat and internal organs will only arouse their desire to kill!
Every soldier's eyes are blood red, just like the flying **** flags!
Roger suddenly spotted the gorgeously dressed Fernandez in the distance and immediately targeted him. He walked leisurely towards Fernandez step by step, the giant ax in his hand constantly opening a bright red road in the forest of steel and flesh. Behind him, what was left was a path of flesh and blood made up of severed limbs.
Behind Rogge, a young man with one arm cut off suddenly stood up from a pool of blood! Judging from his clothes, he was just a civilian, but at this moment, he had turned into a warrior who was not afraid of death! He held the sword with his remaining left arm and stabbed Rogge in the back with all his strength!
A terrifying long whip composed of sharp blades appeared as if flying from the sky, and it circled the young man several times in an instant! The long whip suddenly retracted, and blood mist immediately exploded in the air. The young man's body had been broken into several pieces, rolling on the **** ground.
The other end of the whip was held in the hand of Mei who appeared at an unknown time. The black windbreaker on her body was in tatters, revealing the close-fitting mail that shone with a light purple light. She held a delicate dagger in her left hand, and two sharp blades protruded from the heels of her boots.
Mei flicked her wrist and shook off countless pieces of meat and blood beads from the barbs of the whip body. Then she smiled slightly and said: "Lord Rogge, this time I am ahead of you."
Roger laughed loudly, pointed his giant ax at Fernandez in the distance, and said: "Leave that guy to me, and you can kill the others as you please!"
Fernandez suddenly felt like a frog being stared at by a snake. The coldness of polar ice penetrated his body, his face turned pale, and he couldn't move! Suddenly, the majestic figure of the middle-aged knight intervened between Rogge and Fernandez. Fernandez regained his mobility.
Roger smiled cruelly, and the ax fell like thunder! After a loud noise, the middle-aged knight in front of him actually used his war gun to hold Rogge's giant axe! But the terrifying power attached to the giant ax had already bent the stainless steel gun! Before the middle-aged knight could spit out the blood accumulated in his chest, there was already a burning pain in his heart!
He lowered his head in shock and saw an exquisite dagger in Rogge's left hand. The dagger easily penetrated the knight's chain armor and completely disappeared into his chest.
After the knight fell, Rogge saw that Fernandez had walked off the top of the city and fled towards the city lord's palace. He stood at the top of the city, looking down at the city of Soratu that had turned into a **** on earth. The Tide Warriors were advancing rapidly down the streets, and they did not let go of any house. In the raging fire, the houses were collapsing one after another, and from time to time a burning man would run out of the fire howling.
The Black Warrior Emperor is no longer at the top of the city, harvesting lives somewhere in the city.
Rogge on the top of the city smiled coldly. He was about to chase Fernandez when he suddenly stopped. He looked down at the fallen knight. The knight was obviously dead, but his face was still full of anger and unwillingness, his eyes were still wide open, and one hand was holding Rogge's boots tightly.
Roger sighed, squatted down, gently touched the knight's eyes, and then opened the knight's fingers one by one.
At this time, there was a loud bang not far away! Amidst the dust flying all over the sky, the city wall could not withstand Elgra's endless magical attacks, and a section of it actually collapsed! The heavy cavalry who had been standing still finally mobilized their horses and began to advance towards the gap.
The black-robed Elgra slowly put away the bone staff, took out a gray crystal ball, and said hoarsely: "It's time for us to harvest..." The Lich moved towards the burning Solatu As he walked into the city, the only person guarding him was a man wrapped in a dark gray robe and holding a rapier. The thin sword exuded a faint khaki magic light.
A moment later, Rogge, who was covered in blood, held his giant ax upside down and walked leisurely in the thick smoke and fire towards the city lord's palace in Soratu. Behind him, there were more than ten murderous Tide heavy infantrymen carrying blood-stained giant axes.
Those uniform and heavy footsteps undoubtedly coincide with the rhythm of death!
In front of the city lord's palace ~IndoMTL.com~ Rogge finally took a stand. He took off his helmet, took a deep breath of the air mixed with blood and fire, looked at the faces full of despair on the tower of the City Lord's Mansion, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Dang! Rogge dropped the giant ax in his hand and began to chant a long spell. Mei stood behind Rogge, expressionless. Her beautiful face was spattered with blood, and there was even a small piece of broken organ, but she didn't notice it and just observed Rogge's magic in ecstasy.
However, the incantation Rogge was just mid-reciting was interrupted by a very familiar shout.
"Ah! It turns out to be Mr. Rogge!! Do you remember the villain? The villain will surrender now! Mr. Rogge, you miss the villain so much!!"
Fernandez jumped down from the wall of the city lord's palace and rushed to Rogge. He plopped down and knelt down in front of Rogge, hugging his thigh tightly, his shoulders twitching and tears streaming down his face. He looked like a lost child who had found a relative, excited and aggrieved at the same time.
Even if Fernandez showed the power of the sanctuary and suddenly took off and flew away, Rogge would not be so surprised. Anyway, there are two giant dragons waiting for him above the clouds.
Roger stared at Fernandez, looking left and right, and finally said in surprise: "You are... Robosky! Why are you here?"
