Chapter 829 Batman Arrives
…
"Damn it! How can there be so many magicians?!"
Although Lacar did not participate in the battle personally, he could clearly see the many fireballs that suddenly appeared on the city wall, and he immediately thought to himself that something was wrong.
Sure enough, after a moment, he saw his soldiers began to retreat along the ladders on the city wall.
Some of the subordinates were so anxious that they lost their balance and fell off the wall.
However, at this moment he could only watch and could do nothing.
It was impossible to prevent these subordinates from retreating, as the enemy had a large number of magicians, whom the Golden Knights could not fight against at all.
Even if he went up now, he would be exhausted to death sooner or later because he was surrounded by thousands of people and magicians.
Now we can only hope that the casualties are smaller so that we can explain to His Excellency the Duke later.
After all, they have just tested the God of Death's trump card, and they will be able to deal with it better when the Duke arrives.
…
"Billy, where's Luka?"
After five or six minutes, the first siege of the morning was over.
Looking at the soldiers returning in defeat, covered in dust and dirt, Lakar's face darkened.
The casualties were not as small as he had hoped, but instead were directly reduced by half.
What was even more difficult for him to accept was that he did not see Luka in the crowd.
He is the deputy commander of the legion, a top-level Black Flag knight, and in a few years he may become a Red Flag knight.
Luka's death might be more serious than losing hundreds of golden knights, which made him start to worry whether he would be punished by the Duke later.
"Commander-in-chief, Luka was killed by that killer!"
Billy didn't dare to hide it and immediately told everyone what had happened on the city wall.
"What? You killed Luka with just one sword? Are you sure?"
After hearing Billy's story, Lacar was shocked.
He knew that the God of Death was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be this powerful.
According to what Billy said, the power of the God of Death is comparable to his and they can even compete with him!
"I am very sure, Commander Rakar! The killer was very fast. Luka and I rushed towards him at the same time, but he was in front of Luka in a flash. Before Luka could react, he was chopped down..."
"Also, there are at least fifty magicians on the city wall..."
…
"Haha! Gervis, they've retreated! This is a big victory!"
On the walls of Sheng'en City, the elite members of the Golden Shield Family who had previously wreaked havoc here have all disappeared.
Most of the elite members of the Golden Shield Family who had climbed onto the city wall were killed, and only a few who were lucky enough escaped back via the wooden ladder.
Gandalf, wearing armor stained with the blood of the enemies, came to Gervis and spoke to him cheerfully.
This can be said to be the most glorious battle Gandalf has ever fought in his life.
A total of four thousand golden knights!
He would not even dare to think about this in Eurasia.
Back then, the church had 3,000 silver knights that could sweep across the entire continent. If it weren't for the appearance of Gervis, the Eurasian continent would have completely fallen under the iron hoof of the church.
And now, in just over a year, they have actually fought off four thousand golden knights who were armed to the teeth. If he goes back and tells those old friends, I'm afraid their loose teeth will fall off immediately.
"They have retreated, father, but... we are not victorious yet, because they will probably come back again later!"
It was rare for Gervis to see his cheap father so happy, and he responded to Gandalf with a smile.
But he also told Gandalf some bad news.
"Will they come back again? Aren't they afraid of being annihilated?"
Gandalf was stunned when he heard this.
In his opinion, this time the soldiers of the Golden Shield Family were slaughtered one-sidedly after they climbed onto the city wall.
Because we have a large number of magicians on our side.
The fifty wizards just now were enough to scare the enemy, so Gandalf felt that if he were the commander of that group of people, he would definitely choose to evacuate immediately. Stopping the loss in time is the best option.
"Father, do you see those river channels that have been filled in at the back?"
Gervase immediately pointed to the moat below and said to Gandalf.
Because Gervis was concentrating on dealing with the siege team, he ignored the enemies who were filling the river. In just a short while, they had filled three passages again.
At this time, there were six passages more than four meters wide on the moat.
"Grevith, could it be that... they have a follow-up team coming to support them?"
After hearing what Gervis said, Gandalf looked down. When he saw the six aisles, he suddenly understood and confirmed with Gervis with some uncertainty.
As a veteran on the battlefield, Gandalf naturally thought of this possibility after being guided by Gervase.
The reason why he hadn't anticipated this before was, first of all, because he had been busy with the things arranged by Gervis and ignored these details.
In addition, he was not very familiar with the holy cities in the Holy Continent, so he did not expect that the Golden Shield Family would have such a strong murderous intention towards them.
"That's right, father. I guess the support from the Golden Shield Family is on the way and may even arrive soon!"
"So, the real battle we are going to face is still to come. What just happened was just an appetizer!"
Gervase nodded seriously and gave Gandalf an affirmative answer.
"No wonder you didn't let all the magicians join the battle just now, and the sea creatures in the moat didn't join the battle either!"
Gandalf understood instantly, but he still felt a little worried, so he looked at Gervis and said hesitantly.
"Gevis, how about we retreat first? The Golden Shield Family has thousands of golden knights outside the city!"
"And we will have reinforcements later, they will definitely be elite as well. If there are too many of them..."
Gandalf was the only one present who dared and could say such words.
After all, the war is imminent, and no monarch would like to be afraid before the battle.
Of course, Gandalf didn't mean to give in.
Rather, he believed that the territory occupied by his youngest son was already large enough and was thriving.
Therefore, given such a promising prospect, it is not worthwhile to fight to the death now.
Gervase was still so young. In just another ten years, with the current rate of development, Gandalf felt that his youngest son would become an unprecedented monarch who would rule the world.
"Father, don't worry, I know this!"
"There is a river to our north. If we really can't stop it, we can completely retreat from the river with the help of the sea tribe!"
"So, even if we are defeated, we still have a way to escape unscathed!"
Gervais roughly guessed what Gandalf was thinking, and in order to comfort Gandalf, he immediately told him the escape plan he had envisioned.
Of course, if it really comes to the point of retreat, he will only do so when he is truly at the end of his rope and in an extremely critical situation.
"I see! I feel relieved now!"
After hearing this, Gandalf finally felt relieved.
With those sea creatures around, even if they don't have a boat, they can use wooden boards to travel freely on the river that is hundreds of meters wide, so there is no need to worry about retreating.
“Here they come!”
Just as the two men finished their conversation, Gervis suddenly saw dozens of knights riding magical beasts appear on the road two miles away.
Not long after these knights appeared, more soldiers and horses appeared at the end of the road behind them, and among these soldiers and horses were flags with golden shields.
At that moment, Gervis picked up the telescope and carefully observed outside the city.
"Another army of 10,000 people, and this time they are all elite soldiers!"
About twenty minutes later, the support team gathered outside the camp where the Golden Shield Family was stationed.
Gervis made a rough estimate of the number of people. It was another legion of 10,000 people. Moreover, this legion had uniform equipment and was composed entirely of golden knights.
"It seems like Batman is planning to take me down in one go!"
"I just don't know if that old guy Batman has come in person!"
As far as Gervais knows.
In a Holy City family, there are only two or three legions of golden knights at most, and this is one of the Holy City families that ranks high in the Holy Alliance.
Now the number of golden knights from the Golden Shield Family appearing outside the city of Saint Ann has reached more than 15,000.
Well, apart from the elite troops responsible for protecting the Holy City, these must be all the elite forces of the Golden Shield Family in the Land of the Fallen Gods.
From this we can see how determined Batman is this time.
…
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
Outside the city of Saint Grace, at the gate of the Golden Shield Family camp, after knowing that support had arrived, Lakar and Billy had already arrived outside the camp and were waiting.
When Batman, riding a high-level Warcraft wolf, appeared in the team, the two of them immediately knelt down and bowed their heads respectfully.
In response to the greetings and questions from Lakle and Billy, Batman did not respond immediately, but kept his eyes on the wall of Holy Grace City in the distance.
"Is the God of Killing in the city?"
After staring at the City of Saint Grace for a long time without saying a word, Batman spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency the Duke, the God-killer is in the city!"
Lakar did not dare to be negligent and immediately answered respectfully.
"Um!"
Murderous intent immediately emerged in Batman's eyes, and then he retracted his gaze to look at the two people kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"Where's Luka?"
After Batman looked away, he saw that Luka was not among them, and his brows immediately frowned.
"Your Excellency the Duke, Luka was killed by the God of Death!"
Lakar instantly felt a chill on his head and shivered, but continued to answer with gritted teeth.
"Are there any other casualties?"
Upon hearing the news of Luka's death, Batman's tone became a little colder.
"More than 1,800 golden knights were killed during the siege!"
“…”
As soon as Lacar finished speaking, the field fell into silence.
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on Lakar's forehead, but he didn't dare to look up at Batman even once.
"Tell me what happened!"
After a moment's silence, Batman's cold words came again.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"
"Just now, I arranged for Luca and Billy to lead 2,000 people each to attack Saint City, preparing to consume their military strength..."
Next, Lakar told him everything that had happened before.
And the details of Luka's death were told to Batman exactly as Billy had said.
As for the death of more than 1,800 golden knights, Lacar also emphasized the terrifying number of magicians under Gervis's command! "This bastard has grown so fast that he can kill Luka with one blow without relying on that blood-red sword!"
After listening to Lakar's detailed account, Batman immediately turned his head to look at the City of Holy Grace, and a hint of hatred finally appeared in his words.
He hated why a country bumpkin-like boy could be so favored by God that he became a Black Flag Knight in just a few months and even had the power to kill the top Black Flag Knight.
Batman felt that God was simply blind!
However, even if God favors him today, it will be useless. He, Batman, will definitely send this kid to hell today.
Thinking of this, Batman turned around.
"What is the strength of the magicians who kill the gods? Can you confirm how many there are?"
"Your Excellency the Duke, according to the report from my soldiers, there are at least fifty magicians under the command of the God of Death!"
"But their strength should not be very high. Besides the fact that there is already a mid-level magician in the city, the fifty or so people who cast fireballs should all be apprentice magicians!"
"More than fifty apprentice magicians!"
"This killer has great ambitions! But it's a pity that he won't survive today!"
"Lakar, gather your troops immediately and start attacking the city again!"
Batman changed the subject and began giving orders to Raquel.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"
Lacar immediately agreed.
"Master Lamb, it's up to you guys to deal with those magicians from now on!"
After giving instructions to Lakar, Batman gave another instruction to the dozen or so magicians in black robes behind him, but his tone was much softer than that to Lakar.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Duke. If the killer god has trainee magicians in his hands, even if they have twice as many people, I guarantee that they will not be able to harm the attacking team!"
When the magician named Lamb heard Batman's order, he immediately responded respectfully.
Lamb is a high-level magician. Five of his teammates are also high-level magicians, and there are seven intermediate magicians, so he is very confident in what he says!
"Very good! Let's get started now!"
Batman’s plan today was very simple, which was to rely on absolute crushing to take over the Holy Grace City in one go, and then send the God of Death to hell.
He planned to let Lakar's team take the lead and attack the city wall with the cooperation of more than ten magicians of Lamb.
After they have captured the city wall, he will personally lead the remaining troops to rush into the city in one go, leaving the Killer God no chance to escape or turn around.
…
Following Batman's order, Rakar quickly organized a team.
At this time, in addition to the carpenters, he had more than 6,000 men under his command, of which more than 3,000 were elite soldiers, and there were about 2,000 miscellaneous troops who had previously filled the river.
Without hesitation, Lakar placed the two thousand miscellaneous troops at the front as cannon fodder, and the three thousand elite troops at the back.
"Everyone, forward!"
When the team was assembled, Lakar gave an order.
Woo woo!
Accompanied by the sound of trumpets, the army outside the City of Holy Grace slowly pressed towards the City of Holy Grace.
