The Era of Gods

When the strengthening was over and all the believers had adapted to their own strength, he asked Alfonso to write a letter of conquest against the Holy Church with the Church of Life and Wisdom, officially announcing the start of the Holy War between the God of Life and Wisdom and the Holy God .

The war between churches of different beliefs is called holy war, which is a war between the extraordinary. Noble lords can choose to participate in holy war, or they can choose not to participate, and theoretically they will not be liquidated after the war.

But this is only in theory. In fact, the nobles and lords of Dale Province basically have no choice.

They are all mixed in this one-third of an acre of land, so there is no possibility of staying out of it. Jihad involves all believers. Many knights or soldiers under the command of the major lords are believers of the Holy Church. The lord can still stay out of it.

So there is no choice. In this battle, Lin Xiao is destined to challenge all the lords of Dale Province with Alfonso's territory.

It is very difficult, but it is also beneficial. If he can win, especially if he shows unstoppable strength on the battlefield, once the Holy Church is defeated, the faith of the entire Dale province will collapse immediately.

Common believers may take a long time to induce change, but the conversion speed of noble lords is sure to be very fast.

The most important thing is that this is a world without demons. The holy god has not yet been born, and there is no mechanism for changing beliefs to be punished by gods.

Faced with his provocation, the Holy Church was furious. Many bishops scolded Alfonso as a heretic and wanted to punish the Gibson family with one voice.

But this voice was louder than thunder, because at this time the Knights of the Holy Church in Dale Province were fighting the Hooker Territory in the north, and they couldn't spare their hands now.

Speaking of it, it was beyond everyone's expectations. I thought that the battle against the Little Hooker with the Church Knights and many speculative noble private soldiers was a devastating battle, but in fact it has not been defeated after several months of fighting. Lower hook collar.

The opponent had long been prepared to defend the castle of the original lord of Hooker's Land. Not only did they have an elite army of soldiers, but they also had a very sharp defensive weapon. After encircling Hooker's Land for more than two months, they not only failed to capture it, but suffered huge losses.

Of course, after all, the Knights of the Church had an absolute superiority in numbers, and even if the losses were huge, they could still hold on. As long as they could endure the losses of their subordinates, it was inevitable that they would finally capture Hooker's collar.

The leader of the knights, Bartos, originally wanted to use this method to consume the enemy with the noble private soldiers and militia cannon fodder that came with the army. At this time, the enemy was exhausted after two months, and the defensive strength was significantly reduced. He was about to break through the castle, but he received news of jihad from the cathedral, which put him in a dilemma.

After thinking about it for a long time, he wrote a letter to the cathedral, suggesting that the cathedral defend first, and return to help after quickly destroying the opponent on his side.

However, the plan was good, but the plot didn't develop as he imagined.

Less than two days after sending this letter, Bartos received a second letter from the cathedral, which contained a piece of news that made him unable to sit still.

The heretics defeated an army of Viscount Feitan and Earl Dyson at the border of Viscount Feitan. They have captured Viscount Feitan and are attacking the border post of Earl Dyson.

Which side does this god of life and wisdom belong to?

Inside Hooker's Castle, Darryl, the son of the spirit domain, looked at the secret letter in his hand and pondered for a while without moving.

As an aspiring son of Lingyu, he attaches great importance to intelligence, and has sent believers out to establish an intelligence network early on, so when Lin Xiao's jihad submission was released, his believers sent the news back.

After looking at the contents of the secret letter for a while, he was thinking about how to deal with this situation.

The opposite side should be panicking and about to withdraw. When the Holy Knights withdraw, I have to wait and see the situation, and find out which side the God of Life and Wisdom belongs to, and prepare for changes in the situation.

As an elite descendant, Darryl has his own unique insights into the situation, and immediately understands that the situation in Dale Province has entered a critical moment.

No matter who wins or loses between the Holy Knights and the Church of Life and Wisdom, it is his chance. He is already thinking about waiting for the Holy Knights to withdraw, and after a short rest, he will follow the Holy Knights and enter the edge of their decisive battlefield to wait for the opportunity.

but

Outside the city, in the camp, after receiving the second urgent letter from the cathedral, Baltos stood there in silence for a while, and after about ten seconds, he ordered all officers to be called for a meeting.

Ten minutes later, the dull horn sounded, and many resting knights remounted their horses and approached the city wall. All the troops in the siege were mobilized, and even the reserves were called up.

Damn it!

Darryl, who heard the sound of the war horn and went up to the castle wall, immediately realized that his prediction was wrong. Bartos, the leader of the knights, did not withdraw immediately, but wanted to come out and fight again.

A day later, under the uninterrupted onslaught of the Knights of the Church regardless of cost or loss, Fort Hooker, which was absolutely outnumbered, failed to defend and was breached after all.

After a great battle, the leader of Fort Hooker's garrison led a small group of core subordinates to break through the siege and escape, and the entire territory of Hooker was taken back.

After that, some noble speculators and private soldiers were left behind to wipe out the remnants, and Bartos led the army back to Dale City.

At this time, Alfonso's army had crossed the territory of Viscount Feitan and entered the territory of Earl Dyson.

After knowing Alfonso's strength, Earl Dyson chose to shrink his defense, gave up all the surrounding areas and retreated to the core city of Dell, and prepared to defend the city of Dell with the Holy Church, so the army came to station at the city of Dell without a fight.

A day later, Lin Xiao came with dozens of paladins, and he could see the pointed cathedral spire in the center of Dell City from a distance, and a white beam of light that ordinary people could not see shot up into the sky, which was extremely rich. The power of faith.

The Dale Cathedral has been established for thousands of years. Countless believers in the entire Dale Province have accumulated for thousands of years. I don’t know how much faith they have accumulated. Because the world restricts this world, it is impossible to give birth to the extraordinary. Naturally, there is no so-called holy god, so these beliefs The power has been accumulating in the statues in the cathedral, for too long and in too many quantities, so that it can be seen from afar.

Lin Xiao had ten thousand thoughts about this, and was quite eager for the power of faith.

Don't hold back, break through Dale City in one go, and I will assist you.

At the pre-war meeting, Lin Xiao directly gave the order to die. He didn't want to have long nights and dreams.

In the early morning of the next day, there was a thundering drum sound in the camp, and many soldiers who got up early and had breakfast and prepared began to gather and left the barracks in a neat formation.

Although there were not many people, even including the surrendered soldiers and speculators' private soldiers, the total number was seven to eight hundred, which was much lower than the nearly two thousand defenders on the city wall, but their morale was very high.

The huge tents in the camp were opened one after another, and inside were huge all-metal siege crash vehicles, ballistas and trebuchets that Lin Xiao secretly put in last night.

All of them are primitive and bulky, but they are considered high-end war machines in this world, and they are all provided by the military.

The surface of this all-metal crash car is a thick steel plate, which can block all arrows and small catapults. The crash car itself is driven by mechanical gears, and only two or three soldiers can control the push, but at this time each crash car Dozens of people were hidden below to follow, and the rain of arrows pouring from the city wall jingled on the ceiling, completely unable to penetrate.

The ballista is also an all-metal structure, and there is a thick steel plate behind the launch pad to protect the operator.

The trebuchet does not have these protections. This thing has always been in the rear, and it cannot be affected by any attack except the enemy's trebuchet. The only change of this thing is that the metal structure is thicker and thicker. It can withstand the enemy's trebuchet bombing without deformation.

There were only two metal crash cars, but they were irresistible. They rushed all the way under the city wall and stopped in the city gate under the rain of arrows. The huge metal hammer with a diameter of nearly half a meter was raised back and slammed forward. Down.

boom!

The huge metal hammer slammed heavily on the thick wooden door and trembled violently, countless wood chips mixed with smoke and dust rose up.

Behind the battlefield, huge ballistas are also gradually approaching the attack range. These metal ballistas are large modified ballistas. Each ballista has ten launch ports, which can fire ten arrows at a time. There are ten large ballistas in total. The chariots lined up, and with a series of firing sounds, one after another the crossbow arrows rushed towards the city wall.

A wave of one hundred crossbow arrows, the instant intensive attack directly suppressed a section of the city wall, and the defenders on the city wall looked at the rubble at the top of the city that had been shattered by the fine steel crossbow arrows, and did not dare to stick their heads out.

The trebuchet casts stones the size of a table and covered with a layer of oil-soaked shell. Before the throw, the oil on the stones is ignited and thrown out to be a burning fireball.

After landing, the oil-soaked shell exploded, and countless flames flew up, causing great damage to the city.

At this time, it doesn't matter how much damage the flames do to the city. At this time, the city is captured first, and then the city is destroyed by the fire.

Moreover, although this catapult is primitive, its workmanship is very advanced, and its accuracy is very high. There are standard usage methods, as long as it is used according to the standard card, it basically refers to where to cast.

Not long after the siege began, before the army approached, several rounds of precise stone throwing and ballista bombardment made the defenders a little overwhelmed.

As a few soldiers flew up with divine magic and found the garrison headquarters hidden in the gate tower, several rounds of stone throwing and set fire directly blew up the gate tower.

I don't know if the enemy's generals defending the city have died, but they must have been terrified, and the morale of the defenders has also plummeted.

This bombardment lasted. In less than half an hour, the city gate was forcibly smashed open by a car, but they did not directly attack the city, but continued to hit other parts of the city wall. At the same time, the trebuchets also began to concentrate fire on a certain section of the city wall.

Two hours later, three huge gaps were forcibly blown out of the city wall of Dell, plus a total of four gaps with the smashed open city gate. At this time, Alfonso ordered the attack.
