Putting faith aside, although humans were greedy, sometimes, they were willing to stand up when danger arrived and use their bodies to shield others. This kind of precious quality was the light in the darkness.
Waid wasn't wearing the Cavalryman's armor because it would be unusually cumbersome in a battle on the ground. He held a dagger in his right hand, a small round shield on his left arm, and two secondary weapons on his waist. One of them was the dagger that was gifted to him.
"Waid!
How long do you think we can last? "
Another Holy Knight who was two to three meters away from Waid asked with a smile.
In this situation, their calmness influenced the other soldiers. The Sith Court's defenders were 'second-class' soldiers who didn't make it into the official expedition. But even so, they still picked up their weapons and guarded the frontline of the city. Looking at the Holy Knights chatting happily, they felt ashamed of their thoughts of retreating. However, they also felt a surge of hot blood surging in their chests.
"Me?
Probably one more day than you! "
"Hahaha, kid!
You're still so confident! "
"Bless the God of Light. Our strength will slash through the darkness, isn't it?"
"I dare say that if there's anyone who trains the hardest, it must be you!
It's time to test us. Who is the door to the Kingdom of Heaven open for?! "
The Holy Knight suddenly raised his voice and yelled at the Knights on the city wall.
"Open for the brave!
Open for the devotees!
Open for the sacrifices! "
There was only one reserve team at the foot of the city wall.
This kind of battle environment cast a shadow over everyone's heart before the battle began. It couldn't be helped. The enemy's numbers had exceeded theirs by more than ten times and they didn't even have enough soldiers to take turns defending the city. They wouldn't be able to win this battle even if they tried to drag it out!
The reason why Sith City was able to face the Undead Army of nearly a hundred thousand without any pressure was that they had sufficient soldiers and defensive equipment. With more than a dozen reserve teams, it wouldn't be a problem for Sith City to fight day and night for months. However, the only thing that Sith Court had in abundance now was food.
As the sun set behind the mountains, the Undead Army finally arrived before Sith Court and started attacking the city without any hesitation!
Just like in the past, the Undead Army charged straight at the city wall while the soldiers began to attack mechanically. Fortunately, the city wall of Sith Court was tall enough for the Skeletons and Zombies to climb up. However, the only advantage they had was quickly destroyed by the Gargoyles' attack.
The sky was gloomy to begin with. After the sun set, the soldiers on the city wall had no choice but to light torches. When the soldiers looked down, they could only see the green eyes of the Undead glowing like a sea of fireflies. Before they could take their first turn, more than three hundred Gargoyles launched their first attack!
The archers couldn't aim at them at all!
When they aimed their arrows at the sky, they could only see blurry shadows. The Gargoyles moved too quickly and the archers couldn't even track them down!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …
The sound of arrows piercing through the air resounded, but none of the Gargoyles were hit. On the contrary, the Gargoyles launched their invisible sonic attack and crashed into the archer phalanx on the city wall!
The translucent sound wave swept across the sky, making it impossible for the soldiers with limited vision to see anything. The soldiers with bows and arrows did not see anything at all. They felt an inexplicable force colliding with their bodies. Then, they were sent flying, and their internal organs were shattered by the sound wave!
With just the first attack, a third of the hundreds of archers in the square formation had fallen!
The Holy Knights defending the city used their round shields to resist the sporadic attacks. As professionals, their senses were much better than the soldiers with weak physiques. However, they were still outnumbered. The sea of green glows below the city wall was densely packed and the screams were deafening.
The priests joined the defense of the city. Amidst the flashes of golden light, the undead below the city wall roared in pain. The bodies of the defending soldiers glowed with a golden light, and the situation of the battle was stabilized.
After the battle lasted for an entire night, Levi was replaced.
The corpses of the Undead had piled up a terrifying staircase under the city wall. They were all attacking in the same direction. Along with the Black Wood and defensive equipment, as well as their corpses … they actually piled up a flight of stairs leading to the city wall!
When Wail was replaced, the undead rushed towards the paved 'path' as if they didn't care about their lives, surging over the city wall.
Levi took a deep breath. After fighting for an entire night, he felt extremely exhausted. However, he didn't rest for long. The sudden sound of a horn made him stand up abruptly.
"God of Light above!
They broke through the city wall! "
So fast?
Levi didn't have time to think. He immediately ran towards the messy city wall with his comrades in the distance.
Boom!
A violent tremor suddenly sounded. Wail raised his head and suddenly saw the countless streaks of fire streaking across the sky!
It was the attack of the Necromancers!
They had officially launched an attack!
So the previous attack was just to 'pave the way'?!
Levi's feet felt a little cold. The huge fireball in the sky bombarded the battlement of the city wall in the blink of an eye. The violent shockwave sent the few defending soldiers flying!
The Knights behind him looked up at the scene in front of them. However, they didn't stop at all. They pulled out their blood-stained swords and shouted "Holy Light above!" as they charged towards the city wall!
The Priests suffered heavy casualties because they had been standing on the city wall to bless and heal the soldiers. This wave of attack shattered the shields they had cast and blew countless Priests who were standing in place into pieces!
However, no one mourned or sighed. At this time, the battle was the only rhythm. No one had the time to sigh or sigh!
"Retreat to the inner city!"
The leader of the knights had been fighting on the frontlines. His powerful body was emitting incandescent Combat Aura, but the exhaustion on his face was obvious. He ordered his adjutant, but he didn't move a single step away from the 'path' that the undead had laid!
"Yes!"
The adjutant immediately conveyed the order to the soldiers by the city wall. The inner city wall of the Sith Court was less than a hundred meters away from the outer city wall. However, the height of the inner city wall was less than half of the outer city wall. Basically, if the outer city wall was breached, it would be the same as the inner city being breached!
However, they had to hold on for as long as they could. The outer city wall couldn't hold on any longer. If they continued to stand guard, all the soldiers would die!
A few powerful bishops had already set up enchantments on the inner city walls. They did not participate in the previous battle because these bishops were the last high-end forces of the city. When necessary, they would beg the God of Light for a miracle and use their own lives as the price to cast light-type spells to protect the safety of the civilians in the entire city.
"Retreat!"
The soldiers retreated to the inner city in an orderly manner. There was still a lone figure standing on the outer city wall. His Combat Energy was turning golden — a sign that he was releasing his full strength. The weapon in his hand had long changed shape from the constant slashing, but it was still sharp because of his Combat Energy. All the Undead that had just climbed up the city wall were sliced into pieces. In an instant, it became a situation where one man held the pass against ten thousand enemies!
