The magic shield that covered the whole Holy Crown City was constantly twisting under the endless attacks of the Hellhounds. It seemed that the Hellhounds could tear the light curtain into pieces if they continued to attack. But unfortunately, the magic shield, which looked like it would collapse in the next moment, was still standing there, like a giant ship stubbornly sailing in the ocean. No matter how fierce the storm was, it refused to sink.
As time went by, the corpses of the Hellhounds piled up into hills under the city wall. However, the other Hellhounds did not flinch. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed to the city wall wave after wave.
The soldiers and magicians on the city wall did not have any special reaction to the ghastly corpses in front of them. They didn't even need to aim. They just numbly pulled their bowstrings and released magic. When someone fell down due to exhaustion, another person would immediately take his place.
The whole scene was extremely bloody. The thick smell of blood permeated the air above the battlefield. The sticky blood flowing like a river dyed the black ground dark red.
Jeddis and Guevara had to believe that Prince Johnson was really determined to use the Hellhounds to break into the Holy Crown City. But the question was, what made him make such an irrational decision?
In the distant dense forest, Prince Johnson looked in the direction of the battlefield. His eyes flickered, as if there was something difficult for him to decide.
It seemed that he had been unlucky ever since he set foot on the ground. Not only was he severely injured by Nicholas, but the battle that should have been an easy victory had also become a mess.
In fact, before they went north, everyone, including Donald, was full of confidence in this battle. Raphael's troops would never expect that the Abyssal Race would attack the Holy Crown City. He first led the demon squad to rush into the Holy Crown City and destroy all the Mage Towers. Then, the Hellhounds and Minotaurs would arrive and flood the Holy Crown City. But who knew that the Holy Crown City seemed to have already known their attack plan and kept the magic array running at all costs.
However, he had to hold on. His elder brother's words kept echoing in his ears. "We need a glorious victory!"
"Your Highness." An Abyss Great Demon could no longer hold back and knelt in front of Johnson. "Do it. If it goes on like this, all the Hellhounds will die before we use up all their magic crystals."
Johnson's expression was a bit complicated. If he could exchange the Holy Crown City with the death of all the hellhounds, he would do it without hesitation. However, after a whole day, the hellhounds had lost more than 200,000 soldiers, and the damn magic shield still showed no sign of collapsing. Did they bring all the magic crystals of the whole continent to the Holy Crown City?!
"Your Highness!" The rest of the Great Demons of the Abyss also knelt in front of Johnson. It was not that they were sad about the death of the Hellhounds. Demons would never care about such inferior vassal races. The key was that the Holy Crown City was where the Holy Crown City was. Without enough cannon fodder as cover, no demon would be willing to face the light magic of the priests.
Johnson was no exception. However, if they attacked the magic shield, it meant that there would be casualties. Every Abyss Great Demon was a precious fighting force. Johnson really did not want to lose them here.
Johnson slowly pulled out his scythe from the ground. He could not wait any longer. The Holy Crown City was already so difficult to deal with without Han Jin. He could not imagine what the situation would be like when Han Jin got the news and came back.
"Remember, retreat after the first attack. Even if their magic shield is broken, no one is allowed to enter the Holy Crown City without my order!" Johnson glanced at the Abyss Great Demons kneeling in front of him one by one. These were all warriors who had participated in the battle of the Kingdom of Magnificent Light. They were the best among the Abyss Great Demons. He could not let any accident happen to them.
"Yes!" More than a dozen Abyss Great Demons answered in unison and disappeared into the dense forest at the same time.
"How long can our magic crystals last?" Guevara asked Jeddis as he watched the tragic scene with his Penetration Eyes.
"If it's only this level of attack, it can last at least four days." Jeddis calculated carefully and then smiled. "Fortunately, we have Morgan's Secret Treasure. Otherwise, I'm afraid we can't even last a day."
"Yeah, sometimes I wonder why Raphael always gets lucky." Guevara straightened up and said with a smile.
Hearing Guevara's words, Jeddis just shook his head with a smile and did not speak. In the whole Holy Crown City Group, perhaps only Guevara was qualified to call Han Jin a kid. He would never do that.
Guevara looked at Lanning and asked, "How's the morale of the soldiers? Is it okay?"
"There's no problem." Lanning was also in a good mood. It seemed that the Abyss Army was not as terrible as the legends said. "As long as the magic shield is still there, our soldiers are safe. You don't know, but now they are rushing to get on the city wall."
Guevara nodded with relief. The Abyss Army came at the right time. It was tantamount to training the soldiers for Han Jin. He believed that the soldiers who had experienced this battle would have enough courage to face any kind of war in the future.
At this moment, there was a sudden change outside the city. A pitch-black sickle suddenly appeared above the Hellhounds and fiercely slashed on the magic shield.
The magic shield that couldn't even be shaken by the combined attacks of hundreds of hellhounds shook violently. The soldiers and mages on the city wall were all startled by the sudden appearance of the Great Abyssal Demon, but none of them stopped what they were doing. It seemed to have become their instinct, and they were still subconsciously releasing spells and arrows, but none of them realized that they should be attacking the Great Abyssal Demon that had suddenly appeared.
After the Abyss Great Demon slashed, its figure immediately disappeared. Then, one by one, tall and burly figures appeared and disappeared one after another. Thousands of Minotaurs, who had been wandering around the periphery, also roared and rushed to the city wall.
"They've finally made their move!" Guevara picked up the knight's spear beside him and dashed forward. His entire body turned into a pale green stream of light and smashed the door into pieces. He then dashed towards the direction of the city wall.
"Notify the priests to join the battle!" Jeddis immediately cast a levitation spell and quickly flew out. The three Paladins also rushed out. Their mission was to protect Jeddis. The most effective attack against the Abyss Great Demon was not the longswords in their hands, but Jeddis's magic.
In a short period of time, more than a dozen Abyss Great Demons had already slashed hundreds of times. The Minotaurs also rushed to the forefront. They did not care about the attacks on the city wall and desperately waved their battle axes.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers and mages quickly changed their targets to the demons and Minotaurs. However, each demon stayed in the air for less than a second, so their attacks all missed. At this time, the Hellhounds, who were not attacked, began to attack the magic shield even more crazily. For a moment, the soldiers on the city wall were somewhat at a loss. They did not know whether to attack the Abyss Great Demons or the Hellhounds below.
Jeddis's eyes flickered. Although the Abyss Great Demon army seemed to be going all out, his heart was still calm. There were not many people who had this kind of quality, and Jeddis was definitely one of them.
"Haishizi," Jeddis said slowly.
"Sir?" Cardinal Haishizi, who was commanding the priests, hurriedly greeted him.
Jeddis glanced at Haishizi. He knew in his heart that during this time, Haishizi and Chipango, who was under Han Jin, had a good relationship. Chipango had given Haishizi a house and even a few Abyss Sirens, which Haishizi had accepted. In terms of character, Haishizi lacked the self-restraint necessary to be at the top, but the Holy See, which had many things to do, did not allow Jeddis to be picky. Moreover, Haishizi's loyalty was not in vain. When the Unsetting Sun Mountains were captured, Archbishop Zachary surrendered, and several Cardinals were killed, as a deacon, Haishizi, together with several other famous Cardinals, resolutely led the Cardinals to forcibly break out of the encirclement. This was how the Holy See was preserved. If Haishizi had followed Nicholas back then, he would have been put in an important position.
"Take a few people and return to the Holy See," Jeddis said softly, "If we can't hold on, immediately activate the Holy See's magic array!"
Haishizi was stunned, and the expression on his face became very complicated. It seemed that he wanted to laugh, but he did not dare to do so at this time. He then hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Holiness!"
Letting Haishizi be in charge of the Holy See was a kind of affirmation in itself. In the event of an accident, such as Jeddis dying in battle, Haishizi would naturally become the successor.
"Sir, aren't you too pessimistic?" Adonis said softly as he looked at Haishizi's back.
"This is obviously a demon squad," Jeddis said slowly. Jeddes said slowly, "Ronning's information is correct. Prince Johnson must be hiding nearby."
"The inheritance of the God of Death?" Ord said in a deep voice.
No one answered, and the air seemed to have frozen.
The demons of the Abyss were the most loyal servants of the God of Death. This was similar to the priests who were willing to dedicate their lives to the God of Light. The difference between the two was that if the demons of the Abyss met some kind of opportunity in the Demon Pool and communicated with the God of Death and obtained the inheritance of the God of Death, then they would have the ability to release magic while maintaining a strong combat strength. In the most straightforward words, they were a true dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, just like Adolf the Ascetic.
However, the Holy See only had one Adolf, and there were more than one great demon with the inheritance of the God of Death.
"Prepare for the worst." Jeddis let out a long sigh. "Haha … I have never hated that person as much as I do now."
"Sir, who do you hate?" Amij asked.
"Who else could it be? Of course it's Raphael. "Jeddis smiled bitterly. Damn it, you took away the Holy See's greatest protection: the Holy Crystal! The Holy Crown City had held on for a whole day, and the reinforcements had never appeared. Did Han Jin really not discover the movements of the Abyss Army?
The magic shield that covered the Holy Crown City was twisting more and more violently, but the Minotaurs and Hellhounds did not care and were still desperately rushing forward. More than a dozen great demons of the Abyss kept flashing in the air, and every time they appeared, they would swing their scythes.
At this moment, all the effective defense facilities of the Holy Crown City were built by Dismark. Not only did Han Jin not add anything, but he also moved the Magic Crystal Cannons on the city wall to the God of War. More importantly, Dismark would not use all the resources on defense. His main opponent was Zagunéd, so as long as the magic shield could withstand the impact of Zagunéd's army, it would be enough. There was a limit to this. Dismark would not expect himself to fight more than a dozen great demons of the Abyss and countless elite Abyss Army. Moreover, Dismark had limited resources, so building more Mage Towers would be useless, and he would also waste a lot of Magic Crystals.
This limit was nothing in the past, but under the constant attacks of the Abyss Army, the fatal flaw was undoubtedly exposed. The Great Demons of the Abyss moved very quickly, disappearing in a flash. They didn't seem to have much strength, but in fact, their attacks had the power to break metal and stone. Even Angels, Behemoths, Giant Dragons, and other super races had been cut into pieces by the Great Demons.
After about ten minutes, the magic shield's color gradually faded, and it was almost transparent, which meant that the magic array was on the verge of collapse.
Jeddis sensed that something was wrong and immediately began to chant a spell. Waves of magic fluctuations shook violently with the chant, and a moment later, a bright light shone, and a Gate of Heaven appeared in the sky. Then, a giant angel of dozens of meters tall flew out of the Gate of Heaven, waving a lightsaber. Its body instantly turned into a strong stream of light and slammed down.
Angel of Light's Punishment!
The great demons of the Abyss who were besieging the magic shield immediately scattered, and in a few flashes, they rushed to the periphery. Jeddis knew that he could not kill the dozen or so great demons of the Abyss, but he could not watch the magic shield collapse, so he could only do his best and leave it to fate.
Boom … The giant Angel of Light hit the place where the Hellhounds were the most concentrated, and the space of hundreds of meters was immediately swallowed by a bright white light. The ground and the walls of the Holy Crown City trembled violently, and then a strong shock wave swept out with the Angel of Light as the center. Countless Hellhounds and Minotaurs were rolled up high by the shock wave like pebbles, and were thrown out of the city.
The moment the giant Angel of Light appeared, a dark shadow appeared in the distance. Every time it flashed, the distance between it and the Holy Crown City was shortened by hundreds of meters. Judging by its speed, it would only take a few breaths of time to reach the Holy Crown City.
The powerful shockwave swept through half of the battlefield, and at the place where the Angel of Light collided with the ground, there was already a deep crater tens of meters wide. The hellhounds and minotaurs that were lucky enough not to be swept away by the shockwave were also dizzy, completely forgetting their mission.
The dark shadow had already flown past the big pit created by the Angel of Light, and continued to approach the Holy Crown City.
Jeddis locked onto the dark shadow. Although the distance was too far for him to see the appearance of the other party, and he did not have the energy to release his X-Ray Eyes, he had a feeling that Prince Johnson finally could not help but appear.
Jeddis's breathing became very shallow. He was trying to catch the frequency of the other party's teleportation. At this time, the other demons were also approaching the Holy Crown City, but Jeddis did not care about anything else. His primary goal was, of course, to kill Prince Johnson.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of Jeddis's mouth, and the next moment, he had already raised his scepter.
The deep pit created by the Angel of Light suddenly lit up, as if a sun was rising from the pit. Golden rays of light, like countless steel needles, swept across the whole world in an instant.
God's Revelation!
Zenglin was famous throughout the continent for his unparalleled alchemy skills, and his fame seemed to be far greater than Jeddis', who was of a similar status. In fact, it was because Jeddis had been hiding his overlapping magic. Although the Demon Annihilation Crossbow was sharp, it was after all an external object. However, the birth of overlapping magic could cause earth-shaking changes in the magic domain. Jeddis understood the principle that a man's wealth was his own ruin. Of course, it was also because he was cautious enough that he had the opportunity to escape from Nicholas.
Jeddis's magic was beyond the expectations of all the Abyssal Demons, because no forbidden spell could be released without warning!
The demons who were about to release their teleportation suddenly lost their coordinates, and the demons who had just crossed the space suddenly felt a stinging pain in their bodies, especially their eyes, which could no longer be opened. Countless Hellhounds let out dying cries, and the Hellhounds closer to the big pit were even pierced by thousands of rays of light, turning into broken skins.
The smile on Jeddis's face quickly turned into helplessness. What a good opportunity! Those Great Abyssal Demons had lost the ability to teleport, and their eyes couldn't see anything. If the Holy Crown City had enough combat power, they could have killed a few of them! Unfortunately … the duration of God's Revelation was only seven or eight breaths, and although those Great Abyssal Demons were more or less injured, it didn't affect their combat power.
Johnson, who had just approached the Holy Crown City, roared angrily, "Bastard!!" If his plan had succeeded, the Demon Squad would have already started a massacre in the city. Even if there were a few more High Priests like this, they wouldn't be able to withstand their siege. But now, they could only suffer outside the city!
Johnson could no longer control his emotions. Although his eyes couldn't see anything, he slowly raised the scythe in his hand, and his pair of thick arms almost doubled in size. Then, the scythe emitted a dark light. The moment the effect of God's Revelation disappeared, Johnson released his teleportation ability and appeared above Jeddis, waving his scythe and chopping down with all his might.
Not only were the two separated by a magic barrier, but they were also dozens of meters away. Johnson's scythe didn't seem to be able to hit Jeddis at all, but as the scythe moved, a hundred-meter-long crack appeared in the air, and the crack quickly spread downwards.
From the front of the crack, it was almost impossible to see the crack that was thinner than paper, but from the side, Johnson's scythe created a dark curtain, as if it was going to split the world in half.
