When Loran Hill received the news from the central part of the empire, the coalition forces from the western border had already arrived at the city of Titaneia.
The towering city walls are majestic and straight, with the beauty and grandeur of human buildings, while some of the internal details often reveal the complexity and softness of elves, with a kind of fantasy beauty that is isolated from the world.
This is Titaneia, the capital city that has stood for a thousand years since the founding of the Verdant Kingdom and has never fallen.
Elio stood on the high wall of the city and looked at the western sky. Griffin flags fluttered in the wind under the setting sun. The metal armor looked like stone faces, and the exposed skin was like marble, giving people the illusion that these warriors were carved from white stone, not living beings.
Only when they move, the physical activity can make people feel the flow of life again.
Looking at these armies that were difficult to defeat with ordinary attack methods, Elio remained silent. In the imperial capital, there were about 400,000 elite troops of the empire gathered. This was also the result of a large number of legions retreating and gathering after being unable to defeat the enemy.
But even if the manpower is maintained, there is still no way to break the enemy's special protection.
"Sorry to make you laugh." Elio turned around and said to another girl standing next to him.
"It's nothing. Everything changed too fast. No one could have predicted such a change." Xia Lanluo shook her head, holding the hilt of the sword at her side with one hand, looking at the enemy slowly approaching in the distance.
"The siege is about to begin, and there will probably be chaos. If it reaches a point of no return, Xia Lanluote should just leave. Don't worry about my relationship anymore." Elio said to the girl earnestly.
In response to this, Xia Lanluo could only nod and shake her head silently.
Although she was not afraid of death, she also had to consider that there were many people from the southern border in this team. As the initiator, she had an obligation to ensure that these people returned alive as much as possible.
A few birds flew across the imperial capital at dusk, overlooking the densely packed buildings below. Some were tall, some were neatly arranged, and the walls made of auburn tiles and stone bricks were dyed a harmonious dim color in the setting sun.
Sporadic artillery fire began to explode, marking the beginning of the attack. In order to deal with the solid and towering walls of Titaneia, the Western Alliance mobilized a lot of artillery and bombarded the walls in turns.
The court wizards in Titaneia began to cast spells together. Thick leaden clouds of black and red swept across the sky. The vast and magnificent scene was like using the sky as a paint palette, dripping rich, almost black blood-red paint into it, and then constantly smearing and stirring it.
A blazing, hot meteorite, with a long tail of flame, slammed into the enemy lines, sending up a shower of rubble and soldiers. As the dust settled, groups of soldiers emerged from the smoke, advancing towards the city walls. Blessed with energy, they were immune to injury unless directly bombarded.
The artillery fire inside the city also began to counterattack, and various explosion lights and smoke appeared in the open space outside the city wall, and the originally flat ground gradually became bumpy.
After crossing a battlefield filled with artillery fire and bullets, only a small number of Western Alliance soldiers arrived at the foot of the city wall, and at this time they began to be shot from above and the sides.
Ding Ding Dong——
The bullets made crisp sounds when hitting the soldiers. Most of them were blocked by armor, and the rest, even if they hit the skin, could only leave shallow white marks and then bounce off the ground.
With the protection of the Witch of the Holy Stone, these soldiers' defense against various attacks has been greatly improved.
The battlefield gradually became tense. At this time, a group of black shadows began to appear in the distance of the sky. Then, as they got closer, the sound of intensive flapping wings and occasional sharp cries could be heard. They were the Griffin Knight Legion of the Salus family.
Griffins have always been ferocious beasts. Even after being tamed, they still retain some fighting tendencies.
The chaotic sounds of battle rang out on the city walls and in the sky, and all kinds of noisy sounds overwhelmed the hearing. The griffin knights gathered at low altitude, then flew out of the horizon under the sky, and continued to expand the gray-white griffin flag.
These griffin knights, armed with spiral lightning spears, rushed towards the sky above the imperial capital, away from arrows and magical shooting, and then swooped down from the sky.
The lightning guns, carrying sparks and debris, made a harsh sound as they streaked across the city's shield, continuously reducing its protective capabilities in an attempt to tear a hole in the shield.
At this point in the battle, both sides gradually became more intense. Various dazzling trails of light and flames remained in the night sky, and the scene in the sky looked like an overturned paint palette.
“Ouch—”
As the ground beneath them trembled, an enormous deer gradually emerged from the edge of the earth. It seemed to come from a distant world, stepping out of the void through the mist.
The giant deer seemed cursed, its body shrouded in darkness and emitting a constant stream of purple magical smoke. It swayed in the artillery fire, simply avoiding obstacles before accelerating its pace and charging towards the griffin army outside the city.
A large number of soldiers were crushed by the hooves of the "giant deer", and the enemy troops outside the city were gradually blocked by the huge body. The pure sky could not be seen, only the dark and vast body of the giant deer.
This giant deer was about 800 meters long and exuded a cold aura, like an ancient beast spirit. It roared in the twilight as dusk approached, and purple-black flames burned from its hooves, then spread towards the coalition forces in the west.
"The Black Deer, Chebonag, is an ominous beast that was born a thousand years ago. It is said that it will run on winter nights and take away the weak creatures. It is regarded as the messenger of death by the people of the East." High in the sky, the imitation Huasilin floated quietly, looking at the huge black deer that appeared below.
