Ulysses naturally understood that the so-called throne of the king was a poisoned bait, but this bait was too sweet. More importantly, the current situation was still unclear. If he stood on the wrong side, his life and property would be at stake.

Seltod is known as the City of Steel, and the reason for this is naturally the abundant iron ore resources in the surrounding area. In addition, Lord Ulysses has always been cautious, so the walls of the castle were built very high, and the city gates were reinforced with a layer of pure steel. It took several strong men to open and close the city gates through a noose.

There are about 7,000 guards in the city, and they can recruit refugees to assist in the defense at any time. Maybe they only need to guard for a day or two...

One or two days will be enough! After temporarily stabilizing Lord Ulysses, the archbishop realized that if he did not show his skills, both the nobles and soldiers in the city would easily collapse on the spot under the attack of witchcraft, so he stood on the top of the city wall of Seltord with dozens of priests.

The biggest difference between archbishops and ordinary bishops is that they are the elite among the three-ring clergy and candidates for cardinals. They can communicate with gods and get help to a certain extent, so they usually guard key places. Together with several bishops and dozens of priests, they can even temporarily compete with a great wizard.

"Great Lord of the Stars, Goddess of the Moon, Creator of the Earth and Life, your humble servant prays here, begging you to bless this place of faith..."

Loud prayers echoed above the city walls, and a strong divine light soon emerged from around the archbishop.

The soldiers and nobles illuminated by the light seemed to feel the Lord's gaze. Ulysses' heart was filled with blood. He suddenly felt that the tens of thousands of troops under the city were nothing more than a group of chickens and dogs. As long as they worked together, they would surely achieve the final victory.

"God is with you and me!" the archbishop shouted loudly, and the Bible hanging around his waist floated up and hovered above his head.

An even stronger light immediately occupied everyone's vision, and Ulysses suddenly discovered that this light did not emerge from the Bible, but flew out from the enemy's array.

The crimson light came so fast that before anyone could react, it had already passed through the Archbishop's body. The body that had been strengthened by divine magic was torn to pieces as if it were made of paper, leaving only blood and flesh residue all over the sky...

The loud prayers came to an abrupt end, and the passion in Ulysses' heart immediately cooled. Several young nobles nearby were so scared that they wet their pants and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Open the door and surrender... Surrender!"

But now it was obviously too late. Several more streams of light flashed by, and the so-called indestructible steel gate was blasted open by several electromagnetic cannons! "Yes, these gunners are getting more and more accurate!" Outside the city at this moment, Lin En stared at the chaotic scene on the top of the city and said with satisfaction.

Being able to accurately hit someone at a distance of 1.5 kilometers is a commendable skill.

"The landing point of this electromagnetic gun is much easier to calculate than that of a cannon." Raphael said with a smile.

Moreover, that bishop actually dared to stand on the top of the city wall and chant and pray. They were not blind. It would be a shame not to shoot at such a good target!

Lin En also laughed. While he was talking, the sturdy steel city gate in front was blasted open by the sound of artillery fire.

With absolute technological advantages, even the most difficult siege battles became extremely easy, without having to consider the so-called tactics. This kind of crushing pleasure was exactly what he had been looking forward to! The armored vehicles rushed to the front row, and the roar of machine guns quickly disintegrated the guards who tried to resist. The musketeers following in the back row only had to be responsible for capturing prisoners.

The battle started and ended so quickly that many citizens in the Iron City had no idea what was going on before they saw armored vehicles equipped with machine guns rushing into the city.

The doors and houses on the streets were locked, and the civilians stranded on the streets fled in panic, and a stampede soon occurred. Those who did not have time to escape knelt and huddled on the ground, their faces full of panic and fear.

Looking at this scene, Lin En couldn't help sighing as he thought about the people's extreme panic and even spontaneous resistance during the process of recovering lost territory.

It can only be said that the influence of the church's hundreds of years of propaganda and brainwashing is deeply rooted, and wizards have almost been equated with evil within the empire!

"Let's send some people to rescue the wounded!" Lin En looked at Redel and suggested. "But be careful of those fanatics hiding in the crowd and launching suicide attacks."

Redel nodded and immediately led a team of musketeers and several wizards proficient in herbology to rescue people.

Not long after the convoy entered the city, they were blocked.

Thousands of city guards knelt down in unison on an open space not far from the city gate. The scene was spectacular! Ulysses and his group of nobles in the front row were covered in blood, holding heavy heads in their hands.

This is the head of the church pastors!

When the archbishop was killed and the priests who had cast the spell were facing backlash, Ulysses chose to turn against them without hesitation and led his personal guards to start a massacre... This was their token of allegiance!

As a noble, observing people's words and expressions is naturally the most basic ability. Ulysses saw who was the one in charge at a glance, and he was like seeing his long-lost father. Ignoring the musketeers' obstruction, he rushed to Lynn and cried tearfully that he was held hostage by the bishop of the church and that was why he did not obey the call of the new kingdom!

In fact, he had been secretly accumulating strength these days, waiting day and night for the moment when the king's division would return! "Is that so? Sir Hansen?" Lin En shouted behind him with interest.

Several border lords, under the 'protection' of the Royal Guards, walked up to him humbly and spoke quickly. "Master Wizard, Ulysses is trying to lie to you. He is a lackey of the church and a believer of the false god. He was the first to propose sending the information of the capital back to the empire. There is a letter to prove it!"

Having said that, Count Hansen couldn't help but look at Ulysses.

You didn't expect that we had already reported you! Ulysses was furious. He finally understood why he didn't get the news until the legion of tens of thousands of people was right under his nose.

It seems that these border lords did not resist at all and surrendered directly! I am obviously the one who surrendered! (End of this chapter)
