Chapter 745: Bombardment of Saint Ann City (Two in One)
"Your Majesty, the Golden Shield Family's pursuers are still ten miles away from us!"
Alex once again hurriedly rode the Swift Dragon Bird back to the team to report the situation. This time his tone was obviously a little urgent.
A distance of ten miles is very close to low-level monsters. If nothing unexpected happens, they will face each other in half an hour at most.
"Got it! You continue to pay attention to the movements of the Golden Shield Family!"
Gervase nodded and sent Alec away.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Everyone speed up!"
As the Golden Shield Family got closer and closer, Gervis knew that he didn't have much time left, so he immediately started to urge everyone to speed up! "Yes, Your Majesty!"
When the soldiers heard Gervis's urging, they immediately started to urge their horses again, no longer caring about the horses' horsepower.
Tap, tap! As the horses galloped, dust flew up on the road.
…
"Your Majesty, ahead is the indigenous city we explored this morning!"
Five minutes later, Gervis and his party walked out of the long wilderness road. The scene ahead suddenly became clear. A mile to their left stood a towering city! "Ik! The city wall is 300 meters long. Set up the artillery!"
When the city appeared before his eyes, Gervis did not hesitate at all and immediately began giving orders.
Whether you live or die this time depends on this wave!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Welton, help me take those ordinary soldiers and the medical team to the woods on the side to take shelter temporarily!"
After Ike received the order, Gervis looked at Weldon again.
"Okay, mentor!"
"Direct Guard! Follow me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As Gervis' orders were issued one by one, everyone began to perform their duties, and then Gervis led 400 direct guards and rushed towards the city.
Ding, ding, ding! When Gervis and others appeared outside the city, they were immediately noticed by the natives in the city, and the native soldiers on duty immediately sounded the alarm.
In an instant, alarm bells rang in the indigenous city, and the number of soldiers on the city wall began to increase.
As the alarm bells in the city were ringing, Gervis had already arrived with his direct guards a hundred meters away from the city wall.
"Listen up everyone inside! You've been surrounded! I give you five minutes to open the city gates and surrender, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Looking at the large number of indigenous soldiers on the city wall, Gervis immediately used his fighting spirit and shouted loudly towards the city wall.
"You invaders, who dare to offend Saint Ann City, will be punished by the God of War Angelina!"
In response to Gervis's provocation, the native commander in charge of the troops on the city wall shouted back.
"Haha! Do you think I was scared? If you have the guts, ask your Angelina God of War to punish me! I'll be waiting here!"
Gervis laughed wildly. All the gods in the Land of Fallen Gods had died long ago, and the lucky ones were only left with broken divine natures. Therefore, he was naturally not afraid of divine punishment.
"You despicable intruder, you dare to blaspheme God, you will die a miserable death!"
Hearing Gervis's rampant laughter, the native leader on the city wall gritted his teeth and wished he could leave the city and cut Gervis into pieces.
However, it was not his decision to open the city gate and take the initiative to attack, so at this moment he could only stare at Gervis with a fierce look.
"There are three minutes left. Once you have thought it over, come out and surrender. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Gervis ignored the anger of the native leader and instead issued him an ultimatum.
"Lord Dilia, you are here! There is a group of invaders outside the city, about 500 people! They are very weak!"
Not long after Gervis finished speaking, a group of people appeared on the city wall ahead again.
The leader of these people was a woman in white. When the soldiers saw this woman in white, they all bowed their heads and saluted.
Gervis knew that this should be the real owner of the indigenous city of Saint Ann.
"It's indeed a bit weak!"
While Gervis was looking at Delia, Delia was also looking at him outside the city.
When Delia saw Gervis's team of more than 400 people, she frowned slightly.
The news that outsiders had invaded the Land of the Fallen Gods had spread to all the cities, and they had also received orders from the High Priest to close the city gates and defend the city.
The news also mentioned that the invaders were powerful, but the group of people outside the city did not match the news at all. The strongest person was only a golden knight, and the 400 soldiers were all white flag knights.
It was difficult for Delia to understand how such a group of invaders could have come to the city of St. Ann and shout.
"Girl! What are you looking at? You have two minutes to think about it. I warn you that if you don't surrender, I will kill you without burying you!"
Seeing that the woman in white above was still so calm, Gervis immediately spoke provocatively to her.
He doesn't have that much time to waste here. In less than ten minutes, the people of the Golden Shield Family will be chasing after them. If the people in the city don't come out by then, his plan will fail.
"How dare you speak disrespectfully to the High Priest? Blasphemers, you will be punished by God!"
Upon hearing Gervis's rude remarks, the native leader scolded her again before the woman in white could say anything.
"It turns out to be the priest! Disrespectful!"
"My beautiful priestess, your god of war has fallen, so you don't need to be a priest anymore. Why don't you surrender to me? I promise that I will take good care of you in the future!"
Gervis is now determined to lure the other party out of the city, so he chooses to say whatever words may irritate him.
"You blasphemer, you will be punished!"
How could the priestess, who originally had a holy face, bear to hear what Gervis said, and her face immediately turned cold.
Such words from Gervis are the greatest blasphemy to their Lord God!
"What divine punishment? Why don't you just ask your God of War to come down? I'm telling you, my God of Glory is no pushover. I guarantee that I can make your Angelina God of War obedient!"
Gervis continued to make sharp sarcasms with a look of great joy on his face, and all the natives on the city wall looked at him with murderous intent.
"Priest Dilia, let us go into battle! We must capture this blasphemer and put him on the stake!"
Faced with Gervis's repeated rude remarks, the indigenous leader finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked the priest Dilia for help.
"Alphonse, the High Priest has ordered us to defend the city to the death and not leave!"
Although she hated Gervis very much, Delia still had to obey the orders of the High Priest.
"But, Priest Dilia, that abominable invader blasphemed our supreme God so recklessly, but we remained indifferent. This is a shame for our God Servant Guard!"
It was difficult for the indigenous leader to swallow this humiliation, especially when Gervis and others were so weak.
It's like a strong man being pointed at and cursed at by a five or six-year-old child, but he is unable to fight back.
"Hey! That beautiful priest, the time is up! Have you made up your mind? Do you want to leave the city and surrender? If you don't surrender, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Come on, blasphemer! I will personally send you to the stake and use the flames to purify your corrupted soul!"
Delia shouted coldly at Gervis, her face full of disdain.
Although they could not leave the city, as long as Gervis dared to attack, they would definitely make these invaders get the punishment they deserved.
"In that case! Then just wait for the city to fall!"
Seeing that the priest was so patient, Gervis did not delay any longer.
Now that things have come to this point, he has to show his true strength and force the city to send troops.
Immediately, Gervis urged the nightmare under him and rushed towards Ike and others.
"Your Majesty, the artillery has been loaded and is ready to fire!"
When Gervis arrived at where Ik and others were, three small steel cannons had been set up on the open ground, with the muzzles aimed directly at the indigenous city of Saint Ann.
"In that case! Then start the attack!"
Gervis gave the order immediately.
"Your Majesty has given the order! Prepare the artillery! Fire!"
Boom boom boom! As Ike delivered the order, three guards immediately held up torches and lit the fuses, and then a deafening explosion was heard from the open space outside Saint Ann.
Along with the sound of explosion, three solid lead bullets shot out from the muzzle and hit the city three hundred meters away.
Bang, bang, bang! "Ah! Ah!"
Today, Ike and others can be said to be masters of artillery fire, and they can hit whatever they point at at a distance of 100 meters.
The three shells in the first round of salvos all hit the top of the city wall accurately, immediately hitting several unsuspecting natives, killing them directly.
Among the dead natives, there were five silver knights and one gold knight.
"What kind of weapon is this? Or is it divine art or magic?"
Faced with the attack of three small cannons and the tragic deaths of their companions, the natives on the city wall were all shocked.
Originally, they were expecting these invaders to start attacking the city so that they could eliminate these blasphemers. However, they did not approach the city at all, but attacked with strange weapons from hundreds of meters away.
"Artillery ready! Fire!"
No one will answer the natives' questions.
After the first round of shelling, Ike and others loaded the second round of shells in less than a minute.
There was no need to ask Gervis this time. The moment the ammunition was loaded, Ike directly ordered the firing.
Boom boom boom! Bang bang bang! "Ah! Ah!"
With the second round of shelling, three more shells hit the top of the city wall, and four natives on the wall were hit directly again. They only had time to let out a scream on the spot, and then they were covered in blood and died.
"asshole!"
Having lost several of his subordinates again, Alfonso clenched his fists and his eyes turned red.
It was obvious that the four or five hundred people outside were like weak reptiles, and they could be trampled to death as long as they went out of the city. But now they could not leave the city and had to stand there and be slaughtered by the other side.
You have to know that they have a thousand silver knights and four hundred gold knights, and Alphonse is a top knight of the Black Flag! With such strength, he can only watch the other party attack him. Anyone would have the urge to vomit blood! "Why don't you come out? You really can't hold your breath!"
Seeing that there was still no movement in the city ahead, Gervis frowned slightly and felt a little anxious.
"Ike, speed up! Keep blasting!"
So Gervis immediately urged Ike again.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Ike naturally realized the urgency of the situation, and immediately looked at the guards who were helping with the loading and spoke loudly.
"Everyone, speed up!"
Boom boom boom! Bang bang bang! Boom boom boom! Next, every few dozen seconds, deafening explosions could be heard outside the city of Saint Ann.
The indigenous soldiers on the city wall had lost their initial calmness, and whenever the sound of cannon fire rang out, everyone would subconsciously dodge.
Facing the solid lead bullet that was much bigger than a fist, even if it was a golden knight, if it was hit directly, it would be killed on the spot! ...
"Speed up! As long as you kill the God of Killing, the Duke will reward you handsomely!"
While Gervis was intensifying his bombardment of St. Ann's City, on the road five miles away from them, the Golden Shield Family's troops were moving forward rapidly.
The dragon bird knight in charge of reconnaissance in the sky has sent news that the killing god's team has stopped and is attacking the indigenous city outside a city ahead.
Although he didn't know what had gone wrong with this god of death that he would go to the indigenous city to seek death, Kito didn't want to worry about it.
With their strength of a thousand people, they are not afraid at all even of a small indigenous town with 70,000 or 80,000 people.
If the indigenous group in the city wanted to deal with them, he wouldn't mind slaughtering those indigenous people together and then plundering the city.
However, he was sure that the natives would flee in panic after seeing them.
During the pursuit, they have passed four or five indigenous cities. Every city was very cautious when seeing them passing by, let alone leaving the city to cause trouble for them.
…
Boom boom boom! "Ah! Ah!"
"Master Priest! We have already suffered more than 30 casualties! If we allow those blasphemers to continue their attacks, within two days our soldiers will all be killed or wounded, and by then we won't be able to defend the city!"
Alphonse was really anxious at this point.
His subordinates suffered heavy casualties, but Diliya still remained silent and did not order him to leave the city.
Hearing Alphonse's anxious words and the bloodied bodies of more than 30 God's Servant Guard soldiers, Delia finally gave in! "Alphonse, you're right. If we don't destroy those three strange weapons, the God's Servant Guard will be slowly consumed by the invaders!"
"So, I allow you to lead a thousand men to fight! However, you must be fast and return to the city immediately after destroying those three strange weapons! Do you understand?"
"These invaders are so weak yet they dare to challenge Saint Ann City. They must have some conspiracy or something to rely on. If you find something wrong, you should immediately lead your people back to the city!"
"Yes! Priest Dilia, don't worry, I promise to return immediately after destroying those three strange weapons!"
In Alphonse's opinion, the hateful invader leader was just a golden knight, and he would only need one move to go out of the city and destroy him, so he immediately agreed with a solemn vow.
"Go! I'll keep the city gate open so you can come back anytime!"
Although she was still a little worried, since she had already said it, Delia would not go back on her word and continued to explain to Alphonse.
"Okay, Your Excellency the Priest!"
Alphonse immediately agreed, and then he could not wait to walk towards the stairs on the city wall, ready to lead people out of the city! (End of this chapter)
