The pain of being burned by fire was unimaginable. Therefore, the records of hell in the Holy Church had a special description of the Burning Hell.
People who didn't believe in God had to endure the torment of the Hellfire.
The soldiers climbing the wall were obviously believers of God. On their bodies, flames were spurting out from the gaps in their armors. These soldiers were still conscious, but they didn't feel pain. They still wanted to climb the wall and fight for God.
The wall was 30 meters high. Even if there was no fire blocking the way, it would be very difficult for the soldiers to climb up. As soon as the oil burned, the mucus on the soldiers' gloves slowly lost its effect. More than 100 soldiers were about to climb up the wall, but they fell down because the mucus lost its effect.
The undead on the wall simply poked their heads out and shot with arrows. The big arrows of the steel arrow carriages covered the area and shot down the undead that poked their heads out. The unlucky undead were shot in the head, and their soul flames dispersed. Then, they fell to the ground. No one knew if they were seriously injured and returned to the Undead Plane or simply died on the Myers Continent.
Salin didn't use all his power. At least he didn't let all the catapults destroy the steel arrow carriages. He wasn't afraid of dragging it out. The longer it dragged, the less the enemy could use later. He wanted to give the enemy some hope first, so he didn't even let the mages release the battle puppets to intercept the enemy's infantry.
With this secret relaxation, some Tanggulas soldiers began to climb up the wall with flames on their bodies to fight the undead. On the wall of Metatlin City, the battlements were built very high. The enemy could only shoot the soldiers with their heads exposed. Only by shooting from above could they threaten the people hiding behind the wall. At this time, Salin sent out the heavily armored soldiers to clean up the enemy.
In fact, there were only about 3,000 undead within this one kilometer range. The main skill of these undead was archery. When fighting with humans, they were only at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but they were terrible in terms of technique.
There weren't many cavalries in Metatlin City, mainly because horsemanship training was difficult. However, there were always a lot of heavily armored infantries because the Barbarians and Caucasians didn't even need training to put on heavy armor and fight. Most of the soldiers that Salin recruited were people who practiced swordsmanship; there were very few peasant soldiers.
Salin cherished those peasants. It was easy to learn how to farm, but to have a high yield, besides the potions of mages, farmers with more than 10 years of experience were also needed.
In Salin's hands, even the slaves were professional soldiers.
Heavy armor was divided into five types. The ones Salin had sent out were all metal heavy armor soldiers. This type of heavy armor was only suitable for defensive battles. It was troublesome to wear and carry, and the armor was difficult to disassemble and assemble. However, if they waited patiently at the top of the city walls, these heavily armored soldiers could even resist the charge of the cavalry.
Full metal heavy armor was not a problem to defend against normal crossbow bolts. The soldier's left hand was directly welded with a short blade on the armor, and the right hand weapon was a short spear. The Tanggulas soldiers climbed up the city wall, and immediately, hundreds of heavily armored infantry rushed out.
These soldiers didn't need to conserve their strength. With the help of the magicians' Great Strength Spell, hundreds of soldiers ran, carrying armor weighing more than 25 kilograms and short metal spears, heavily crashing into the bodies of the Tanggulas soldiers.
The Tanggulas soldiers were all wearing light armor. With this one charge, they flattened hundreds of Tanggulas soldiers who had climbed over the city walls. This feeling was like heavy cavalry charging through a formation of light infantry. The footsteps of several hundred fully-armored infantry rumbled. After the charge, they stabilized themselves, turned around, and charged back.
The Tanggulas soldiers who climbed up the city wall were covered in fire, their vision blurred. They were no match for the heavy infantry who had been blessed with Great Strength Spell. This wasn't surprising. Salin had so many low-level magicians under his command, and they were also defending the city. The city wall was 30 meters high, and it could suppress the enemy's magic or magic. When they still had sufficient troops, they would be too useless if they couldn't suppress the enemy who climbed up the city wall.
Below the city wall, a dozen or so low-level mages worked together to release a Radiant Impact. White holy light shot out violently towards the city wall. Immediately, a passage more than 50 meters wide was opened up by the holy light, and the fire caused by the burning kerosene was extinguished by the holy light.
The nearby soldiers immediately rushed towards the safety zone and climbed up with all their might.
At this width of 50 meters, the defense of the undead became strenuous. Their shooting speed was faster than that of human archers, but their accuracy was not as good. It wasn't surprising that low-level magic could extinguish fire. Even under the suppression of Dante's sequence on the city wall, the Tanggulas soldiers were still full of vigor, shouting and struggling to advance in the holy light.
The steel arrow carriages 500 meters away were still shooting, and dozens of them adjusted their angles and began to shoot. This way, they could threaten the soldiers at the top of the city wall. Seeing this situation, Salin didn't send out the cavalry. It was difficult for heavy infantry to be shot, but the area covered by the cavalry was too large. Even if the warhorses were shot, the cavalry would be seriously injured.
Soldiers began to climb over the top of the city wall without any injuries. These soldiers were stunned when they reached the top of the city wall. This was because there was a 10-meter-wide passage on the city wall. Such a wide passage could even allow chariots to gallop on it, not to mention warhorses. Behind the passage was a complex and strange building complex.
Every 500 meters, there was a tall fixed archery tower. Below it was still a 10-meter-wide passage, but above the passage, there were lateral shooting holes. Any soldiers who attacked the top of the city wall would have to bear the attacks of arrows from both sides.
The shooting holes on the archery tower didn't fire, and Salin saw that it was still light infantry who rushed up. A dozen or so low-level mages commanded the battle puppets and joined the ranks of the heavy infantry, fighting with the Tanggulas soldiers.
Seeing that his soldiers had actually attacked the top of the city wall and occupied a 50-meter-wide area, Archbishop Nicholas was overjoyed at first, but then he frowned. The enemy couldn't have fallen so early. No matter how many soldiers climbed up this 50-meter-wide fireless passage, they didn't continue to expand the occupied area.
All the soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city wall were limited to this 50-meter-wide passage, which was clearly a strategy to weaken the enemy.
"Kane, when will your soldiers participate in the attack?" Archbishop Nicholas sighed in his heart and used an intimate address to address the commander of the Tanggulas Empire. His status was originally far higher than that of the other party.
The commander put down the alchemy telescope and said to Nicholas, "Your Excellency, as you can see, the enemy's defense is very tight, and they have sufficient strength. Our arrow carriages can't effectively suppress them at all, nor can they hurt many of them. If we send the main force now, the losses will be too great. At least wait until the enemy is tired. "
"Kane, unless I have 300,000 men in my hands and attack from two sides, suppressing the enemy on a front line of more than 10 kilometers, the enemy won't be tired." Archbishop Nicholas expressed his worries.
The power in this city wouldn't be less than 50,000 people. The number of residents wouldn't be 100,000 either. All the intelligence was wrong. If he wanted to take down this city, he could only rely on those guys from the Inquisition. However, if he didn't use up the power in his hands to a certain extent, those three guys would only continue to watch.
"Why don't we contact His Holiness and ask him to send high-level mages and heavy equipment over?"
Nicholas smiled bitterly. "How far have we traveled? 20,000 kilometers? Or twenty-five thousand kilometers? Even if His Holiness is willing to help, our rations won't be enough to last that long. "
The commander was speechless. This place was too far from his empire. How could mages fly more than 2,000 kilometers in a day without eating or drinking? Even with the blessing of magic, it was impossible for mages to fly there in half a month. He knew that the rations would only last for four days. The only person he could rely on now was himself.
"Are those three guys not willing to listen to the orders of the Pope?" The commander was unwilling. He still hoped that the people from the Inquisition would attack first. As long as those prison guards were mobilized, his more than 20,000 regular troops behind them would definitely have a chance to break through the city gate.
"Even if they don't listen, what can I do? I'm afraid I won't have a chance to return to the Radiant Plains. Kane, don't be stingy with the lives of the soldiers. Launch a large-scale attack at night. I'll discuss with the three of them again. "
The commander heard Nicholas' deep and sorrowful words, and said angrily, "Sir, the people of the Solomon Family are not afraid to die in battle! Go and urge the three of them. At 22 o 'clock at night, I'll let the army launch a strong attack. If they don't do it, I won't let them off even if I die! "
"Okay, go and collect the Holy Medicine. Let your soldiers rest first. Wait until midnight before launching an attack. Delay for two more hours." Archbishop Nicholas knew very well that even if he entered this city, he still wouldn't be able to gain any advantage in the street battles. From the defense at the top of the city, it could be seen that the number of mages in this city exceeded that of most cities in Qin Yin.
What Nicholas didn't understand was that such a construction of a city could be said to be a waste. The enemy could use the same amount of resources to build 10 cities of the same size, and they could even defend against his attack in the area around Duanren Pass. However, the enemy just had to use all their power in this white city.
Of course, he didn't know that Salin built this city to protect the Space Teleportation Portal. After Jason arrived, he would open up the Teleportation Portal to the Demiplane. The importance of this Teleportation Portal surpassed that of 10 big cities. If the Teleportation Portal couldn't be protected, then the mages who entered the Demiplane might never be able to return.
Salin was even more confused than Nicholas. At the top of the city wall, he saw that the enemy's main army and the 5,000 Black Armor Guards did not move at all. The three terrifying fellows also returned to the Black Armor Guards and did not attack the top of the city wall.
The attacks below the city wall were endless. Was this a tactic to tire the soldiers out? However, his men were enough to take turns defending the two-mile wide city wall. Even if they fought like this for half a month, his soldiers would not be tired.
