【There's still one more to go.】
Behind the fifteen phalanxes were the prison guards of the Inquisition. In front were the blood esquires. Each phalanx had more than 1100 esquires following behind the Punisher.
The impact of the Punisher exceeded that of a siege hammer. At the very least, a siege hammer would not be able to break the rank 9 Crystal City.
The fortress complex below Great Liang City was built in a hurry and was built with the help of magic. If it was anywhere else, it would be considered a sturdy fortress. However, in this environment, the effects of magic had been weakened. Small petrified fortresses would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the Punisher.
The Punisher slowly advanced. When it was five miles away from Great Liang City and three miles away from the fortress complex, it launched its assault.
The charge of ordinary cavalrymen would be launched within a few hundred meters to prevent the horses from tiring themselves out and losing their momentum. This Punisher could run for thousands of miles. The distance of a few miles was just for speed.
Most of the catapults on the city walls had lost their accuracy. When the earth caved in, the violent shaking of Great Liang City had damaged the bases of these catapults. Those that could be preserved had not been rebuilt. Dozens of catapults hurled huge stone balls downwards. The stone balls rolled down from the sky and collided with the Punisher.
The Punisher lowered its head and flicked the stone that weighed tens of thousands of kilograms to the side. Sparks emitted from the horn on its head as it shot more than ten meters away.
The catapults were not accurate, but they had a good grasp of distance. The second round of stone balls had already landed behind the Punisher and rolled towards the blood esquires.
The horsemanship of the blood esquires was not as good as that of the elite cavalrymen. As the huge stone balls rolled over, over a hundred blood esquires were instantly crushed into meat paste. The blood esquires who were dodging slowed down and their formation became somewhat disorganized.
Sarlin sighed in his heart. The attack of more than twenty catapults had only killed a hundred enemies. This efficiency could be said to be terrible. However, he had come into contact with the blood esquires. Ordinary arrows were completely ineffective against them. Only high-grade alchemy arrows that could hit the vitals could cause the blood esquires to lose their fighting strength.
However, high-grade alchemy arrows could not be shot from such a distance. Not to mention the factor of distance, even if they were to hit the target, it would be very difficult to hit the blood esquires' vitals.
Apart from Eleanor, only the rank 9 archers in Port Royal could hit the target from a few miles away. They were the only rank 9 archers in both countries. There was almost no hope for this profession to advance. The survival rate of archers in battle was too low. If they didn't participate in battle, it would be difficult for them to improve their strength.
The magic cannons in the fortress began to fire wildly. For safety reasons, they had arranged for the Undead and Demons below. The human army had retreated into the city of Great Liang. He didn't hold back the magic cannons either. He didn't care whether they would be destroyed or not.
The high-frequency shots were all aimed at the same target.
This time, the magic cannons were effective. The leader of the Punishers had his head blasted off by the magic cannons. Although he was still running, he had clearly lost his sense of direction and was hit by a falling stone ball. When he got up, he rushed to the side and crashed into another Punisher.
Twelve magic cannons fired at the next target, and the Punisher was less than two miles away from the fortress. Some of the magic cannons missed, but most of them still hit the second target. This volley had already caused a weak elemental resonance. The ground began to tremble. Even Salin could feel it from the top of the city wall. Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Fortunately, an elemental storm didn't form, and there was no magic disaster. After all, the number of magic cannons was too small, and the attack power was several times weaker than normal.
Salin didn't care about the fortress group anymore. This kind of small fortress couldn't defend against the enemy's weapons. He looked into the distance and shared his perception with Neris.
Ten miles away, three middle-aged mages were surrounded by the army, issuing one order after another.
Salin said, "Neris, do you see it clearly?"
"Yes."
"The target is the tallest guy. Do you see the symbol on his chest?"
"Yes, Master."
"Wait for an opportunity. Zola and Sue will protect you. Rex and I will each deal with one of them. You attack with all your strength. Even if you can't kill this person, you have to injure him severely. Shika will give a fatal blow."
Neris licked her lips, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said, "Don't worry, Master. If he doesn't die, I will!"
"Don't say that. Be careful of the equipment in his hand." Salin reminded Neris. The person he was referring to was the fourth chief judge. The fourth chief judge was holding a khaki-colored book in his hand. It was very thin and didn't have any power fluctuations.
Neris didn't think much of it and slipped down the city wall.
The punishers were already a few hundred meters away. The demons and undead didn't try to fight. Instead, they entered the Demon Purgatory that Neris had opened.
Rumble …
Then, there was the sound of the fortress collapsing. The low outer city wall was knocked down by dozens of punishers. The punishers rushed in and saw a huge spatial door. The demons and undead were fleeing in panic.
The punishers changed directions and rushed forward. Neris sneered and switched the spatial door. Six punishers crashed into the Fallen Purgatory. Neris switched the spatial door again, and another six punishers broke into the Elemental Purgatory.
After capturing 12 punishers, Neris didn't dare to continue letting them enter the 12 Movements of Purgatory. The attack power of the 12 Movements of Purgatory might not be able to subdue too many punishers. Moreover, the space was narrow, and its power was limited. Once the enemy inside was too strong, it might not be able to kill them.
Neris was overly cautious. When the six punishers rushed into the Fallen Purgatory, they were seen by Neris's incarnation in the sky. Twenty-four chains flew down from the altar floating in the sky and tied up the six punishers. These 24 chains were originally used to lock the Soul God's main body, so it was too easy to deal with the punishers.
These chains couldn't kill the punishers, but they trapped them tightly. Moreover, the divine power contained in the chains came from the prayers of the believers of the Goddess of Nature. In the entire purgatory, there were already hundreds of thousands of humanoid monsters constantly praising and worshipping Neris's incarnation in the sky. The divine power on the chains surged, constantly assimilating the energy in the punishers' bodies.
Compared to this, the power from the God of Light seemed a little weak. The six punishers gradually quieted down and stopped struggling.
The six punishers that had entered the Elemental Purgatory struggled for a long time, but they were even more unlucky. As soon as they entered the Elemental Purgatory, they were discovered by the Eye of the Storm in the sky. After fighting with the flaming serpent for an unknown amount of time, the power of both sides intertwined and even began to assimilate. The two elemental creatures discovered a new target and launched an attack at the same time.
Countless Wind Blades mixed with flames slashed at the Punisher's body.
The entire space was equivalent to the domain of these two fellows. There was no place to hide. The punishers were even more unable to obtain any support here. They could only use the divine power stored in their bodies to resist bitterly.
However, in the Elemental Purgatory, the power of the Eye of the Storm and the flaming serpent cycled endlessly. The wind blades mixed with flames cut the punishers' bodies layer by layer. Under the effect of the divine power, the bodies that were cut quickly recovered. Then, they were cut by the wind blades again and again.
The punishers at the back rushed into the fortress group and clashed with the remaining demons and ghouls. Nelis also knew that she could not bring all of her subordinates with her. She rubbed her hands, crouched on the ground, and quickly transformed into the Golden Dragon. She leaped up, grabbed a punisher with her dragon claws, and tore it apart forcefully.
This was the incarnation of the Golden Dragon. Although Nelis could not control the draconic magic, the strength of her physical body was real. Under the tearing of the dragon claws, the punisher's body was torn into pieces.
The punisher's tail whipped the Golden Dragon's body forcefully. However, the difference in the level of their bodies was too great, and such attacks seemed futile.
However, Nelis felt pain. No injury did not mean that she did not feel pain. She flew into the air and threw the broken punisher to the ground. Then, she grabbed another punisher and started tearing it apart.
The scene that the punishers saw was transmitted back. The three chief judges cried out in surprise.
"Golden Dragon!"
The three young chief judges were excited. Great Liang City actually had a Golden Dragon! This did not matter. They could capture the Golden Dragon and tame it with divine arts!
Once the Golden Dragon was tamed, the life of the Golden Dragon would become extremely long. At the same time, it could be shared with the tamed person. As long as the Golden Dragon did not die, the master of the Golden Dragon would share its life. This was the amazing thing about divine arts. Magicians could not do this.
Although the three of them had sharp eyes, they could not see anything wrong with the Golden Dragon. This was because the power of the Golden Dragon had been displayed. A punisher alone was no threat to the Golden Dragon.
This time, Nelis did not spit out dragon breath. The consumption of transforming into the Golden Dragon was very small. She excitedly tore at the punisher. Although there was no taste, the feeling of tearing the target apart with her teeth was too intoxicating.
Salin had been observing with his elemental eyes. He saw the people beside the three chief judges wave the flags. The red armor army that had finished attacking began to change their formation. It was obvious that they were going to attack!
As expected, they could not resist the temptation of the Golden Dragon! The fish had taken the bait!
Salin was afraid that the three chief judges were not in a hurry. If they attacked slowly, the passage through the giant's ear holes would definitely be discovered. It was impossible for him not to send troops down to fight. This would cause a large number of casualties.
"Everyone, get ready. The target is moving!" Salin immediately informed the people around him.
Ordinary soldiers could not participate in this battle. The judges did not set up camp and directly attacked. This was because the chief judge knew that the soldiers in Great Liang City could not adapt to the sudden change in terrain. Using the punisher to attack was very effective.
Everything that the punisher saw would be transmitted to the chief judge. Salin confirmed this through Nelis's transformation into a dragon. He endured and did not make a move. Instead, he continued to watch Nelis tear the punisher apart from the top of the city wall.
The top of the city wall was silent. When the soldiers saw the Golden Dragon appear, they forgot to cheer. Instead, they held their breath and stared at the battle below.
