Last night, the Special Forces Company built a wooden platform with a guardrail in the middle of the retaining wall. It was located at the intersection of the two crimson flags. This morning, they covered it with a bright red wool carpet. Now, everyone knows what its purpose is.

Shelley stepped up the wooden steps one by one and slowly walked into the wooden platform that extended nearly five cubits out of the gap in the guardrail. Woolley accompanied him with a smile, while Caesar, who followed closely behind him, had a solemn look on his face.

After waving his hand to stop Caesar who also wanted to follow him into the wooden platform and Mengbao who had just run over from a distance and had already put his front paws on the steps, Wu Lai handed his telescope to Shelley: "Look, we have so many enemies."

Shelley shook her head and declined: "No, Wu Lai, I can see clearly without this object." She was right. There were crowds of people at the bottom of the slope. Tens of thousands of enemy soldiers were gathering behind the "stairs", and thousands of soldiers had climbed up the built stairs to more than half of the slope.

"Did they send the shield soldiers up first?" Shelley asked after taking a look.

"Yes, in addition to the shield soldiers, there are also their unique ladder soldiers. Look, ladders are still being passed forward continuously from the rear. They must have done a lot during this period." Wu Lai said with a smile.

"Am I ready to start?" Shelley asked in a low voice.

"We can start now, just as we said before." Wu Lai also lowered his voice, "I'm here."

A smile appeared on Shelley's face. After taking another glance at the enemy troops gathering under the wooden platform, she turned around and slowly spread her arms like an angel spreading its wings.

The two maids immediately announced in a clear voice: "The ceremony begins!"

The ceremony begins? The group leaders were startled, then they saw Wu Lai had stepped back and bowed his head, and they quickly followed suit. Caesar took a big step forward, knelt on one knee, and raised Shelley's staff above his head with both hands.

"Oh, God Amon, who roams in the sky, your servants are praising you. You are our only true God. You can do everything that humans cannot do. You say it will happen, and it will stand when you command. Your power fills the sky and the earth. You give strength to the weak and increase the strength of the weary. All who wait for you will regain their strength..."

"…Today, demons, unclean spirits, and evil spirits are gathering in front of your people. They are like arrows flying in the daytime and plagues walking in the night. They are trying to shake the truth, justice, and faith of the Assyrian territory with their filthy attacks. Their skin, flesh, bones, and blood are filled with darkness. My supreme God Amon, your servant asks you to grant me the power to throw these demons, unclean spirits, and evil spirits into the lake of sulfur fire, so that holiness will not be defiled and goodness will not be destroyed…"

Shelley slowly closed his eyes, and his voice became high-pitched like chanting: "Supreme God Amon! Your servant prays to you sincerely, and begs you to grant me the power to destroy my enemies!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two maids knelt down on the left and right and began to chant in a low voice. Shelley gently took the ceremonial staff from Caesar's hand, slowly raised it, and his lips moved quickly, but no sound came out.

Upon seeing this, all the team leaders immediately began to pray silently.

Wu Lai secretly glanced at the bottom of the protective wall and saw that after only a short while, the nearest soldiers were almost approaching the area marked with chalk bags by the enemy in front of the earthen platform. Behind them, there was a large crowd of people, at least nearly 10,000 soldiers approaching, and the dark mass almost covered half of the slope.

At this time, Shelley slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Wu Lai from the side, and their eyes made contact. Wu Lai quickly nodded gently.

Shelley's mouth curled up slightly: "General Wu Lai, the oracle promised me to use magic to shock the enemy once, but you will lose the protection of God's grace. In the battle with the enemy, you may be injured, bleed, or even die. I ask you, are you willing to do this?"

Wu Lai was stunned. He thought, this part was not discussed before? What does it mean? Is it a temporary addition? After being stunned for a while, Wu Lai understood what Shelley meant. This woman was trying to establish her own prestige.

"I am willing. As long as the soldiers under my command can reduce casualties and achieve victory, and the thousands of people behind me can live in peace, I am willing for the supreme god Amon to withdraw his divine protection from me. Even though that would put me in danger of injury, bleeding, and death in the battle, I am sure I am willing." After giving Shelley a grateful look, Wu Lai answered very seriously.

The smile on Shelley's face deepened, but the captains beside the wall became anxious. Red, who had the most insight, took two steps forward and said loudly, "General, this won't do. Your safety is our greatest luck."

You little bastard, go tell the women that, it's disgusting. Wu Lai smiled and waved his hands, saying to Red in his heart.

Pu Tong also took two steps forward, stood at attention, and saluted: "General Wu Lai, you are responsible for the entire army, please consider it carefully."

Wu Lai shook his head decisively and said loudly: "I have made up my mind. No need to say more. Compared with the overall situation, what does my personal safety matter?"

These words were so decisive that the blood of all the men immediately heated up...

Woolley turned and looked at Shelley.

"General Woolley, we can begin." Shelley nodded.

…

"Report to General Nero, a priestess appeared on the enemy's parapet..."

"General Nero, the priestess on the enemy's parapet seems to be praying..."

"General Nero, the priestess on the enemy parapet is waving a stick."

"That's not called a stick, that's called a scepter! Probe again!" Nero frowned and scolded, and his uneasiness intensified a little bit, because the defenders' actions were very intriguing. It was said that nearly 40% of their own soldiers had already gone up, and the shield soldiers had also begun to cover the ladder soldiers to break down the wooden stake fences, but the opponent had not even made any move, which inevitably made people wonder.

Even if it's just a few logs or a bunch of boulders, it would be fine. Nero pondered as he hurried out of the camp. Liehuo and Hugo Simon had already gone to the foot of the slope before him. Now they were standing on the tall base of the catapult, looking at the parapet.

"Old Liehuo, I don't feel well. I feel weird." Hugo Simon said to Liehuo.

"Hmph, you're a general after all." Liehuo narrowed his eyes and sighed quietly, thinking that I'm the same. When two armies face off, we are not afraid of the enemy's bravery and fighting skills, but we are afraid of the enemy's frequent and difficult to defend against strange tactics. Right now, the defenders seem to be brewing some strange tactics.

After the two ignored each other for a while, Nero also climbed onto the base of the catapult. After greeting the two, he was about to say something when the sound of drums came from above the gap.

Boom boom boom, pause, boom boom boom, pause again, boom-boom, pause…

Nero and the others frowned at the same time. The enemy's drumming was strange. They had beaten the drum before, but there was no sound. Why were they beating it again? The drumming repeated three times and then stopped.

Wu Lai raised the telescope. The first drum sound was to let Pu Ya and others make preparations, and the second drum sound was to inform Pu Ya that he could start.

So, Puya moved...

"Reporting to General Nero, our soldiers have already placed the ladders under the enemy's platform, and the priestess on the parapet has finished her chanting!" A messenger quickly ran to the catapult.

"Maybe they are praying." Hugo Semon glanced at Nero and said.

Nero nodded and said to the soldier, "Let the message be passed on faster." The battlefield urgent reports of the Huriot Legion usually adopted this form of oral relay. Every time Shelley made a new move on the parapet, it would reach Nero in a few breaths of time. It was already very fast, but Nero felt that the efficiency of today's communication was too slow.

"Yes!" the messenger responded loudly.

At the same time, in Wu Lai's field of vision, a piece of "rotten wood" broke away from under the enemy's dock platform and slid quickly downstream.

Wu Lai was delighted, put away the telescope and coughed lightly.

Shelley frowned slightly and raised his voice suddenly: "Supreme God Amon, please put down your anger and punish these ignorant, filthy and dirty ghosts and evil spirits!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As soon as the words fell, Shelley swung the ceremonial staff in his hand vigorously...

After three breaths, Shelley's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought, could it be...

Just as she was about to turn her head to look at Wu Lai, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small cloud of smoke in her field of vision.

No, that wasn't actually smoke, that was debris and water spray.

The debris came from the enemy's dock platform that was built by splicing together hundreds of ships. Accompanied by the roar of "bang bang bang bang bang bang" ten times in a row, it almost became a roar. A large amount of debris and water splashes suddenly rose and scattered along with fire and loud noises. Among the debris were ship gangways, planks, armor, weapons, food, as well as limbs, flesh, heads, flags...

In the fire and water mist, a large number of soldiers were lifted up and thrown away.

But what is most frightening is the desperate cries for help and the shrill wails of dying soldiers...

The fire was not big, but the mushroom-shaped smoke rose straight into the sky. Although the area where the debris was flying only accounted for less than 20% of the dock platform, the water splashing in all directions almost covered nearly half of the platform...

All the soldiers of the Hulit First Legion and Kimo archers on the slope stopped in unison and turned to look at the source of the roar. They had no idea how this happened, or whether it would happen again in other areas, such as where they were now.

Nero, Liehuo and Hugo Simon turned around at the same time, horrified in their hearts. Their current position allowed them to see the entire dock platform, but this was not necessarily a good thing, because what they saw was a dilapidated and messy place, a hell on earth.

Manggu, who had already climbed nearly half of the cliff on the right side of the slope, couldn't help but turn around and take a look. He was immediately shocked, his hands and feet went weak, and he almost fell down.

The first to react was Liehuo.

"Help!" He waved his hand quickly. In response, hundreds of guards rushed into the camp quickly. However, another series of explosions broke the sky - "bang bang bang bang bang bang bang".

Nero's heart trembled, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

God Amon, are you condemning me? Nero had just thought about this when he heard the hesitant report from the messenger: "General Nero, just now, the enemy priestess waved her scepter at our camp."

"Then what are you hesitating about?! Charge! Charge forward!" Nero's eyes were red as if they were filled with blood. He waved his arms angrily, pointing in the direction of the wall, and roared like a madman, "Charge! Charge! Charge!"

"Yes!" After dozens of responses, the big drum next to the catapult started to rumble.

"Charge!" Tens of thousands of shouts rang out at the same time...

Alas, I really can’t scare you away—on the parapet, Wu Lai narrowed his eyes and sighed softly.

"Beat the drum! Four beats, then pause, five times in a row!" He turned around and said to the signalman who was waiting at the parapet next to him.

"yes!"

At this moment, all the regiment commanders had already climbed up the guardrail and scrambled to raise their telescopes to view the tragic scene on the dock platform of the enemy's camp. As they watched, they subconsciously glanced at Shelley and their eyes were filled with a mixture of fear and admiration.

It really is a divine art! Oh, and it also includes the divine protection that General Wu Lai was stripped of! All the captains thought in unison.

After the enemy's drums stopped beating, the big drums beside the wall began to rumble again. After five beats, Shelley's etiquette power was wielded again.

"God's punishment!" Shelley's voice was high-pitched and sharp. At the same time, from the two "weeds" closest to the cliff on both sides of the gap, a black light suddenly flew out and rushed towards the charging Hulett army...

Amid the sounds of explosions, screams, and cries, accompanied by smoke and flying flesh and blood, Nero's legs suddenly went limp and he knelt down on the pedestal.

"God Amon, please tell me, who am I fighting against?" Nero's voice trembled violently, his eyes filled with fear and panic.
