: Episode 632

The horse's hoof sound came into the ear, and the bishop standing on the city wall heard the sound of the friction of the hinges when closing the gate, and also the sound of the rattling when the iron chain was turned. He shouted loudly to prepare the city defense forces to prepare for defense. But he kept praying: "Be sure to close ... Be sure to close ..."
"Oh!"
The huge city gate covered with brass made a dull sound when it was closed, but the sound in the ears of the city defense army sounded like a sound of nature, and even many soldiers cheered.
At the same time, the roar of the horseshoes rushed to the gate of the city, and more than a dozen knights led by them did not slow down. The rifle in their hands suddenly flashed. At the same time, they sprinted towards the newly closed, but had not had time. The door hitting the door bolt suddenly stabbed!
"Hmm ..."
More than a dozen advanced knights' battle gas shocks converged, and the movement was so loud that the soldiers above the city walls felt the vibration from the soles of their feet. However, the quality and defense of this gate was not at all shaken by the knights, so it was hung with iron. The door of the bolt firmly resisted the attack of the other party!
"The Holy Light is on ..."
The bishop almost paralyzed and sat on the ground. At this moment, he felt that his legs seemed to be unconscious. He took a few steps and looked down to see that the army that had rushed under the city wall took a simple siege. Cloud ladder, ready to siege after the array!
"Hurry up for support! Report the news to the inner city!"
The crisis that the city gate was almost broken suddenly spread throughout the temple city, but after the alarm bells rang, the cardinals in the inner city did not realize what was going on at all. What does ringing a bell mean?
Fortunately, the "Rose Cross" did not really neglect its defense because of a long absence. After the alarm bell sounded, the only remaining troops in the outer city were immediately reinforced on the city wall. At the same time, the city quickly began to recruit auxiliary soldiers to help transport defensive supplies. This operation, the short board immediately appeared ...
"Not enough temple guards !?"
An exclamation sounded within the Cardinal Regiment, but then they immediately realized that it was the decision they had just made, and the temple guards who remained in the city left the city collectively to participate in the "rescue".
Without waiting for their opinions on this, the news of the urgent outer wall came one after another ... The team of "Viper Cross", which had originally traveled with Count Mirno, was more than 2,000. From the beginning, it was holding a raid on the "Temple" The purpose came, so they used a simple cloud ladder to put huge pressure on the walls of the temple, which were not tall.
The main reason is that the soldiers defending on the city walls are too weak at this time. It is reasonable to say that such defensive tasks should be given to the heavily guarded temple guards, but now they are a group of armors that have not been accepted. How many military-trained patrols are defending, and the effect can be imagined. If it was not the only hundred or so temple guards clenching their teeth, I am afraid that a face-to-face city wall will be taken down by the other party!
"Signal immediately to the surrounding diocese and ask for support!"
"Anyway, the walls must not be lost at this time!"
The Cardinals ’and Pope ’s thoughts are highly consistent at this time. The
Temple
is the core city of the
Rose Cross
. If it is so easily broken, the face is really lost. The two sides have fought for decades and have never There has been such a behavior of one party hitting the other's nest ... because of the success or failure, the price paid is unbearable for the respective sects.
"Why are they doing this?"
The pope was still alive at this moment, and immediately thought about the reason why the other party was so impulsive, and it was natural that he thought of the "Viper Kiss" that was the artifact he had suppressed so hard ...
"Is that so important to them?"
The breath of the artifact is powerful and difficult to suppress. Even as a pope, he also felt the vast power of this artifact. He did not have not tried to control the opponent, but in a limited attempt, he was almost swallowed by this scepter. Therefore, he did not attract the enemies with the "Viper Kiss", so he ordered the strengthening of the guards and ordered the names of the eight cardinals. He ordered: "The city walls are not staffed enough. You should bring all the things you can use with you. Power to support! "
The eight cardinals named were the strongest in the entire cardinal group. Their joining also meant that at least 20 bishops and 50 guards entered the battlefield. This would naturally ease the casualties and losses on the battlefield. .
At this time, although the eight cardinals were old, they did not hesitate to face the heathen war and turned around and left.
"The Inner City Guard on duty will deploy half to support the outer wall! The Guards will deploy 150 personnel for the reserve rotation!"
This is the final discussion of the troop increase plan. There are 12 guards in the inner city. Today, only about 80 people are left after half of the deployment. The Holy See, which is far stronger than ordinary temple guards, has only more than 80 people.
In other words, the inner city's current defensive strength is less than half of what it used to be.
The Pope frowned after reaching this conclusion, and suddenly felt that the battle today was too strange. It seemed that every step was out of judgment, and he could not control it ...
"Viper Cross" really intends to siege like this?
Listening to the figures reported by the soldiers, the Pope knew that the number of people attacked by the opponent was less than two thousand. For siege warfare, this number is really not much. But on my own side, I can only get six or seven hundred defensive forces on the city wall. Whether I can keep it or not depends on the cardinal's support being inadequate.
After all, the characters who can enter the Cardinal Mission are all priests who are advanced to level 25 or higher, and many of them are higher than level 30. No one is vegetarian in terms of strength. When it is time to hard top all the old bones, the Pope himself will never hesitate.
"Temple" is the face of "Rose Cross", and you can't lose it anyway!
Inside the city ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The rushing army and bishops roared from the street to the outer city wall, and the alarm bells rang again and again. Pedestrians who had walked on the street also ran back home in astonishment. The original market is now Almost empty, only chicken feathers and vegetable leaves on the ground are left, but the taverns that provide accommodation for tourists are still lively. At this time, merchants from all over the place are discussing the situation outside the city, most people They didn't understand what happened, but they didn't worry that the city would be captured.
After all, the "Temple" has no record of being breached and looted so far. For businessmen who do not understand urban defense, what they need to worry about now is whether their business will be affected.
But while they were chatting, the other three caravan members who were living together in the tavern were surprisingly silent. At first, they were only when these people were "timid" and "unseen", but when several teams from the street After running up and rushing out of the city, the group of people suddenly "cracked up" and rushed out of the house!
"Well? You ..."
Someone wondered what to ask, but then closed his mouth in horror because he saw those people pulling out the bright weapons and armors one by one from the carriage parked in the backyard, and quickly rushed straight after being armed!
