Chapter 490 Crushing, the swan song of the old era!

   At noon, on the border of the empire, on the plain about a hundred kilometers away from the holy city, tens of thousands of imperial cavalry in silver armor and heavily armed were waiting.

  Headed by Cardinal Nix looked at the crowd present, and said solemnly.

"Everyone, according to the report of the spies, the two cities on the border of the empire have now been captured by wizards. The minions of those demons wantonly slaughtered and mutilated the believers of the Lord. Disaster and death spread across the continent!"

   "The end has come! And behind us is the holy city, you and I have nowhere to go..."

  Under Nix's painful narration, tens of thousands of cavalry could not help showing fear, but soon Nix's voice became more and more high-pitched, resounding in everyone's ears like a bell.

   "But we don't need to be afraid, we don't need to panic, and we don't need to be afraid! The great Lord is watching everyone who is fighting to the death for the empire and the church from above the kingdom of heaven!"

  "Death and faith are the keys to open the kingdom of heaven and let the soul return to peace forever!"

"Call now, most devout people of the Lord, the end is not worth fearing, our sacrifice will be engraved in the long river of history, and in the near future the Lord will descend in the kingdom of heaven to dispel the haze of the end, Turn the world into an eternal pure land..."

  Nix's impassioned statement made the knights on the scene forget the panic and fear in their hearts. They raised their weapons one after another, shouted loudly, and vented their inner madness and determination.

   "Kill those blasphemers..." "May the great Lord dispel the haze of the doomsday and turn the world into a pure land!" "May the glory of our Lord shine on all things!"

  At this moment, everyone abandoned the fear of death. Even though everyone knew that what awaited them would be a disastrous defeat and death, they didn't feel any hesitation.

  Because death is not the end of suffering but the ladder to heaven.

In the Lord’s kingdom of heaven, there is no sickness and old age, where the great river flows with mellow wine, the wheat field will automatically bear full ears of wheat without plowing by itself, and every branch of a tree is covered with plump and fruity flowers. Juicy steak... Everyone will live in a magnificent mansion, enjoying endless peace and joy.

  Amidst the shouts of the crowd, Nix suddenly got off his horse, knelt down in the direction of the holy city, kissed the soil under his feet, and chanted the name of the Lord.

  More and more people spontaneously dismounted for the final pilgrimage, praying for the great Lord to protect them and achieve the final victory.

  Amidst the louder prayers, a ray of milky white light emerged from the direction of the holy city.

A faint radiance of divine art appeared around everyone, and a wave of fanaticism gradually occupied everyone's minds. At this moment, they have all felt the Lord's gaze, and there is only one thought left in their hearts, that is to use their own The blade in your hand slashes all enemies who dare to block you, defending the glory of the Lord with your blood and life...

"Praise you, my lord, your mighty power makes the stars dim!" Nix responded to the Lord's gift, then stood up, led tens of thousands of cavalry on their horses, pointed their swords forward, and shouted loudly .

   "Now...charge!"

   "Charge, charge!" Accompanied by roars, tens of thousands of cavalry mobilized their horses at the same time, charging away like a landslide and tsunami.

Just at the end of the horizon, a torrent of steel composed of thousands of armored vehicles has appeared in everyone's field of vision. The wheels rolled over the earth and rocks and raised waves of dust flying in the sky. Under the hideous armor, there are machine guns erected , the muzzle of the gun was flickering with a cold light, and it seemed that it could shoot a deadly barrage at any time.

  Nix certainly knows that this is a new type of war weapon developed by wizards, with powerful defensive and offensive capabilities, but he believes that under the mighty power of the Lord, nothing is invincible!

  Even if the final outcome is defeat, he will try his best to deal the heaviest blow to the enemy...

  The charging cavalry got closer and closer to the advancing steel torrent, and soon crossed a dangerous distance—two kilometers!

  The roar of the artillery resounded first, hundreds of shells flew into the sky, and then fell from the sky like a meteor rain.

   "God is with you and me!" Nix held up his long sword and shouted loudly, and the divine magic brilliance floating around everyone immediately gathered together.

   The Ten Thousand Gods' Punishment Army who had taken the God's Grace Potion was at the forefront, with a large number of priests and bishops as the core, an exquisite magic circle quietly unfolded.

  An invisible magic barrier emerged out of thin air, and immediately enveloped tens of thousands of cavalry brigades. Fierce artillery bombarded it, blasting out ripples, and obvious cracks appeared on it, but it was quickly repaired.

  Relying on the blessing of divine energy from thousands of priests and bishops, Nix led tens of thousands of cavalry to withstand the attack of artillery fire and quickly advanced, and soon approached a range of one kilometer.

   Right at this moment, hundreds of streamers of red light flew over from the opponent's formation, and almost instantly pierced this layer of magic protection with holes.

In the rapidly generated high temperature, the iron **** that were burned to the point of being red and almost melted quickly passed through the entire array. Whether it was the silver armor on the knights or the divine magic brilliance shining around them, under such terrifying speed and power Everything is as thin as paper.

  A God's Punishment Knight in the front row couldn't even see how Liu Guang flew over, and his whole body, together with the mount under him, was beaten into a cloud of blood mist and dust...

Such scenes happened everywhere on the battlefield, there was no pain or howling, because everything happened so fast, in an instant, there were more than a hundred death roads full of flesh and blood in the cavalry formation, The strong smell of blood filled the air, but it made the cavalry charge forward even more frantically.

However, this was just the beginning. After the magic protection was defeated with the electromagnetic cannon, the airships lifted their invisibility and appeared in the sky. The bomb bays at the bottom opened suddenly, and bullets the size of human heads were aimed at them. The top of his head fell down.

Considering the follow-up battlefield cleanup, the airship is not loaded with white phosphorous fire, but these projectiles are equally deadly. The huge throwing projectiles exploded again in mid-air, and the internal flowering projectiles scattered and covered most of the battlefield. In the explosion and flames, nearly 10,000 cavalrymen died directly under this round of blows!

  The machine guns and barrels mounted on the armored vehicle also resounded synchronously.

  The continuous artillery fire, the flying iron pellets, the flowering bullets sprinkled all over the sky, and the fierce crossfire. Every second, countless God's Punishment Knights were blown to pieces and fell down in rows like wheat.

  However, under the influence of powerful divine arts, they completely forgot about fear and escape. Perhaps only at the moment of death can they break free from this frenzied state.

  Seeing his colleagues fall in front of him under the attack of artillery fire, Nix was filled with endless anger. His eyes were red and he shouted: "Charge, charge, end the doomsday, kill them!"

   "Kill, kill them!" "End the doomsday!" "The kingdom of heaven... the kingdom of heaven is coming!"

   Tens of thousands of God's Punishment Cavalry roared, desperately rushing into the steel torrent composed of armored convoys in front of them, trying to completely crush them with powerful impacts like they used to crusade against rebels and evil **** believers!

  The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. After losing about 70% of the 50,000 cavalry who charged rapidly, they finally crossed this long road of death, like a sharp knife inserted into the torrent of steel.

It's just that they soon discovered how unrealistic the previous fantasy was. The lance that was blessed with divine magic pierced the armored vehicle at high speed, only hitting a small dent, and then the huge reaction followed the curve. The lance bounced back, and there was a scene of blood flying and people turning their backs.

  The priests and bishops who were mixed in the cavalry regiment also cast divine spells one after another, blasting deep dents on these steel bumps, but the effect was limited to this.

With the strength of the bishops, if they are in good condition, they can't help but have a steel lump, but most of the magical energy in their bodies is used to protect the artillery from attacking, and they don't have time to pray to get the blessing of divine power. After a while, there is no way to break through the armor protection.

Only a few cardinals such as Nix could easily blow up the armored vehicle and destroy it. However, such an eye-catching existence soon attracted the attention. A dozen electromagnetic cannons directly bombarded him, blasting him into a massacre. Blood fog.

As for the targets of the attack, except for a few armored vehicles that were hit by wheels or were forced to turn off at weak points, they didn't even stop. The cold and solid armor was like a moving solid wall, crushing the enemies blocking the way. It was broken into pieces, leaving corpses all over the place, and the blood gathered into a river and slowly flowed across the battle line.

   "Are they crazy? They won't retreat like this?"

Seeing the tens of thousands of imperial legions rushing towards the torrent of steel without fear of life and death, and then being crushed, but still rushing up one after another, Raphael and the others on the airship who were observing all this with long-sighted magic were shocked. The scalp is numb, so far they have killed the legions sent by the five waves of churches to block them.

  The number of people each time is not too many, about 40,000 to 60,000.

  As for the meaning of the division of troops, he probably guessed something. One of the purposes is to prevent them from using [Sky Fall] to kill everyone in one go.

   But attacking in batches like this is almost the same as sending them to death!

  The church should be very aware of this, but they still keep sending people over.

   "Maybe they want to use these people to consume our ammunition and magic power reserves, and gain some advantages for the future war." Harov speculated.

   Hundreds of thousands of human lives in exchange for combat readiness?

  The wizards present couldn't help but frowned, feeling a chill welling up from the soles of their feet.

If this is the case, the madness and viciousness of the church will be beyond their imagination, but it has to be said that after six consecutive battles, 70% of the various ammunition they have spent a year stockpiling has been consumed above.

   Fortunately, their core combat preparations have not been used. The magic power of the wizards has always been kept in a considerable state, and the four legendary wizards, Lynn, Vittorio, Harov, and Aurora, have not taken much action.

   Firstly, this kind of small situation can be solved by the kingdom’s army alone, and it can also train recruits by the way. Second, they need to maintain the best condition to deal with possible threats.

  According to their information, there are at least three legendary clergymen in the church, hundreds of cardinals, countless bishops and priests, plus a false **** of unknown strength, the strength is actually much stronger than them.

   "It is also possible that these legions are pawns thrown by the church to delay our pace." Lynn guessed thoughtfully.

   It's just that this is obviously meaningless. Under the crushing torrent of thousands of armored vehicles, these imperial legions who came to die couldn't even stop them from advancing.

  The longest stay was when seven cardinals led tens of thousands of people to guard in a mountain forest.

  As a result, he directly let the airship, fighter plane, and artillery bombard several rounds for several hours, and then used the armored convoy as the vanguard, driving directly to flatten everything.

  Six crusade armies, more than 300,000 elite troops, plus the border army that attacked the kingdom from other directions, intending to let them divide their troops to rescue, should be all the conventional forces that the empire can produce!

  Lin En stared down at the imperial knights who suffered heavy casualties, faced a group of iron bumps that could not be broken, but still made fearless efforts until the last moment of their lives, and felt a little emotional in his heart.

   It has to be said that in the study of psionic spells, the gap between them and the church is very obvious.

  Lin En can imagine how such an army composed of magicians and divine punishment knights without fear of death would bring psychological pressure to the enemy. It is no wonder that the church and empire can rule this continent.

  It's a pity that the swan song of the old era ends here...

   While he was thinking, the battle below came to an end quietly. After thousands of armored vehicles suffered one-tenth of the damage, the 50,000 imperial cavalry had all collapsed.

  The entire plain has been turned into a slaughterhouse, with burning corpses everywhere, and incomplete armor, weapons, weapons, and armor can be seen everywhere.

  The torrent of steel has no intention of stopping at all. There will be special people behind to deal with these troubles, and what they need to do is to move forward, move forward, and move forward!

   Target the holy city!

   Midnight soon fell, and the Kingdom Legion, which had been running around for several days, finally stopped and prepared to take a rest.

   Now the straight-line distance from the Holy City is less than 60 kilometers. If you leave the supplies and move forward lightly, if you set off tomorrow morning, you will be able to reach the city in a short time.

   Proper rest before the war is obviously necessary.

  Lin En looked up at the sky. A bright moon hung high in the sky, shining extremely brightly. Every wizard felt the existence of the magic tide.

   But he remembered that today should not be Sunday…
