The Black Chapter (one hundred and nine) is imminent

"Whole army! Keep accelerating! Pounce on it as fast as you can! "Breno immediately ordered, pull that lord back? De Laere said simply, but in fact, the three of them knew that this was unlikely, with the background and status of that lord, in the end, it must be only the three of them who were responsible.

The anxiety of the generals infected the entire army, and all the soldiers of the "Empire" ran with all their might, and the whole wilderness seemed to be in the middle of an earthquake. If it weren't for the fact that they had taken into account factors such as mounts, at this moment, the soldiers of the "Empire" would have spread their wings and fly over.

"What? After half a month, the elite of your two-spear cavalry has been exhausted, and only the old and weak soldiers are left? The spear in St. John's left hand struck forward, instantly turning into a tower shield, blocking the flaming spear that pierced the two two-speared cavalry captains. Then, with a flick of his right hand, St. John threw out another of his spears, piercing the chest of a nearby rider who had been knocked to the ground and was about to get up, and before he could kill the horseman, two horsemen had fallen to St. John's left and rear respectively, with a large hole in their chests with blackened edges.

Another of his men died in front of his eyes, and the anger of the captain of the two-speared cavalry was self-evident, and he jumped off the mount, which had been wounded in one foot and had difficulty moving, and like a madman, shot after shot at St. John, but St. John just stood still, holding a tower shield in one hand, and easily blocked all the attacks of the captain of the two-speared marauders.

"The captain of the two-speared cavalry, is this the only ability? What's the difference with a mad dog? St. John teased with a smile.

Despite the roars of the Holy See and Imperial soldiers, and the incessant clashing of metal, St. John's ridicule was clear to the ears of the captain of the two-speared cavalry.

Another shot hit the tower shield built by the holy light, but it still only hit a few beautiful sparks, and did not cause effective damage to the tower shield, and the captain of the double-spear cavalry was speechless in his heart.

Originally, the number of double-speared cavalry in the position was not large, and the Holy See soldiers relied on the numerical superiority to use the method of exchanging more for one, consuming the double-speared cavalry, and in just a few minutes, the double-speared cavalry could be described as a heavy loss, and the advantage established when they first raided into the position of St. John was no longer there. On the other hand, on the side of the Holy See, the more they fight, the more courageous they become, and the reserve troops that run out from behind the city gate from time to time, how can the double-speared cavalry troops cope with it?

In addition, there was St. John, the existence that gave the captain of the two-spear plunderer a headache, not only one person withstood the attack of the captain of the two-spear plunder and the other three cavalrymen, but also killed the other three cavalrymen one by one, but the captain of the two-speared cavalry himself had nothing to do with St. John.

Not to mention St. John's sturdy tower shield, even before, with the cooperation of three cavalrymen, the captain of the two-speared cavalry could not hurt St. John, even if he could occasionally seize the gap and hit St. John. Whenever the Captain's flame spear pierced St. John's armor, the flame on the spear would be inexplicably extinguished, and the spear would not rekindle until the spear was no longer in contact with St. John. After several attempts, the captain of the two-speared cavalry found that the strength of the spear alone could not destroy St. John's armor.

The spear in his left hand was against St. John's tower shield, and the spear in his right hand took the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole and stabbed St. John, but the result was the same, the captain of the two-speared cavalry could not destroy St. John's armor.

"What is the origin of your armor?" The captain of the two-speared cavalry asked exasperatedly.

"Where it came from, it has nothing to do with you!" St. John lifted the tower shield with force, pushing the captain of the two-speared cavalry two or three meters away, "If you have time to care about my armor, you might as well worry about your troops!" If you don't retreat, your poor cavalry will all be explained here! ”

The captain of the two-speared cavalry looked around, and as St. John said, less than half of the two-speared cavalry that had entered the position was left, and they were constantly being forced back by the Holy See's troops, and they were only a few steps away from the corner of the position. Of the cavalrymen who were still alive, many of their weapons were damaged, and even a few of them had lost their mounts.

As for the small group of cavalry that climbed the wall in the distance, it was in an equally bad situation, and under the fire of the artillery, only two cavalrymen of this small detachment were still alive, and they had fallen from the middle of the original wall to the position near the base of the wall. Although they were still trying to climb back up, injuries to their bodies and mounts, as well as a dense artillery blockade, made several attempts unsuccessful.

The two-spear plundering cavalry force is gone, but what makes the captain of the two-spear plundering cavalry the most angry in his heart is their flying dragon troops, he dares to lead his subordinates to break away from the large army and rush into St. John's position, all on the basis that the flying dragon troops can provide cover, but who would have thought, the double-spear plundering cavalry is almost dead, and there is not even a shadow of a flying dragon in the sky!

According to the previous mode of operation, under the disturbance of the Wyvern troops, the Holy See's strength and firepower will be greatly dispersed, and St. John will also focus on the Wyvern troops.

"Damn! Where did the wyverns die? If they hadn't shown up for a long time, they would have suffered so much of their own losses, and would St. John be here deadlocked? The captain of the two-speared cavalry cursed the Wyvern troops from head to toe in his heart, and it was his momentary distraction that allowed St. John to seize the opportunity and pierce the shoulder blade of his left shoulder with a single shot.

One shot succeeded, St. John did not give the other party a chance to breathe, the tower shield in his hand transformed into a giant sword, stabbed into the chest of the captain of the double-spear plundering cavalry, but unfortunately, although the left hand lost sensation and the gun also fell to the ground, but relying on the strong physical fitness of the dragon clan, the captain of the double-spear cavalry forcibly endured the sharp pain in his left shoulder, and at the moment when the giant sword stabbed, he held the gun in one hand in his right hand and blocked St. John's giant sword.

However, when the giant sword collided with the spear, the divine power that erupted still somewhat injured the captain of the two-spear plundering cavalry, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, clenching his teeth to prevent the blood from spurting out of his mouth, and staring at St. John with his eyes, full of resentment and unwillingness.

Having repelled the captain of the two-speared cavalry, St. John did not pursue it again, the other party was already at the end of the crossbow, and St. John did not want to spend any more energy on the captain of the two-speared cavalry, he hoped to directly persuade the two-speared cavalry to retreat, so as to gain even a few seconds of respite before the arrival of the "Empire" army.

"Speaking of which, after half a month, it's the first time we've gone head-to-head, right?" St. John put away his spear and greatsword and said softly.

"So what? I'll admit, you're stronger than I thought you would, but I'm not going to give up! The captain of the two-speared cavalry moved, and he tried to make a charge at St. John, but failed, and he now had to stand on the support of the spear he held in his right hand, and it was impossible for him to continue the fight.

"I advise you to give up! Do you want all of your men to die here? St. John said that around him and the captain of the double-speared cavalry, in this position, the roar of the Holy See soldiers had drowned out the roar of the double-speared cavalry, although there were still double-speared cavalry attacking with their spears and dragon's breath, but under the counterattack of the Holy See's crowd tactics, the double-speared cavalry was falling one after another, and under the high walls of the Vatican, there was only one double-speared cavalry left, constantly trying to climb.

"What?" The captain of the double-speared cavalry smiled unexpectedly, and said in a sideways ear, "No matter how strong you are, you are just one person!" Did you hear that? The sound of the iron hooves of our great 'empire' has arrived! Even if all my troops are here, as long as I can consume a little more of your physical strength and strength! It's all worth it! ”

"Worth it?" St. John sighed, "How much more do you think you can consume me?" Before the arrival of your army, how much effect can you use to consume this little bit of me in the battle? It's your subordinates, they're all elites, aren't they? Although I don't know what's going on on your side, today, if it weren't for the Wyvern Troops, we would be in trouble! Are you willing to let all of your elite subordinates fight out? ”

The captain of the double-speared cavalry did not say a word, St. John's words made his heart shake, seeing that his subordinates who could still stand were getting fewer and fewer, and the figure of the "Empire" army in the distance was becoming clearer and clearer, he was a little suspicious, let his troops continue to be consumed, whether it was worth it, the life of a double-speared cavalry was more precious than hundreds of human beings! Moreover, with his current condition, it is true that if he continues to fight, he will not be able to consume much physical strength and magic power of St. John.

The hesitation of the captain of the double-speared cavalry naturally could not escape the eyes of St. John, and he seized the opportunity to further persuade: "Your large army is about to arrive, I dare not guarantee that we will be able to resist this attack of your large army, but I dare to guarantee that if you still refuse to retreat, before your large army arrives, none of your cavalry will be alive!" Think for yourself! ”

Consider? The captain of the two-speared cavalry did not need to think much about it, St. John's words had already moved him, and at the cost of the total annihilation, the senseless consumption, the business could be said to be lost to the point that his pants were gone.

"The whole team! Fall back! Fall back! The captain of the two-speared cavalry gave the order to retreat, he spread his wings, turned his head and flew out of the position, and the two-speared cavalry who received the order, and the mounts quickly jumped out of the wall on their mounts, and those who did not have mounts flew out with the captain of the double-speared cavalry, and many of the cavalry also threw their weapons in St. John's position, and the whole two-spear cavalry force looked embarrassed, and completely lost the spirit when they came.

The soldiers of the Holy See were not half happy when they repelled the horses, for although the roar of the horses was gone, they heard the wails of the earth under the trampling of the "Imperial" army. All the soldiers stood behind the barricade, solemnly waiting for the arrival of the large cloud of sand in the distance.

St. John breathed a sigh of relief, it was estimated that it would only be a few seconds before the arrival of the "Empire" army, and with the assistance of the armor on his body, he could recover a lot of physical strength and magic power. At the same time, St. John was also secretly glad in his heart, if the captain of the two-speared cavalry knew the effect of the armor on his body, he was afraid that he would fight to the death, and he would not give him even a second of recovery time.

But to St. John's surprise, he was relieved for less than a second before trouble came.

The captain of the double-speared cavalry had just flown out of the wall of the position less than a meter when several red and blue balls of light crossed an arc in the air and shot from a distance.

The balls of light didn't seem to have a clear target, and they fell scattered towards the wall, the wall, and St. John's position, however, these balls of light didn't really fall, and at a height of dozens of meters from the ground, these balls of light seemed to hit something, and as soon as they exploded, at the point where the balls of light exploded, there were several beautiful golden ripples in the air.

"It's the magic cannon of the 'Empire'!" At the top of the wall, the gunner commander yelled, "Magician! Fortify your defenses! Others, aim your fire at the horde of reptiles! Hit hard! ”

As if as a return salute to the "Empire", the guns on the Vatican Wall, which had just stopped for less than a second, spat out tongues of fire and shot at the rapidly approaching "Empire" forces in the distance.

In the air, lasers, magic cannons and bullets converged into a heavy rain and fell on the heads of the "Empire" army, but like St. John, the "Empire" army also had transparent shields made by magicians above their heads, and the Vatican's artillery fire also exploded on the heads of the "Empire" army.

"I've said it hundreds of times! Don't hit the vanguard! That group of siege heavy cavalry is not afraid of this firepower at all! Give me a magician who concentrates on fighting the rear of the troops! The Gunner Commander shouted angrily, he didn't want to waste his ammunition on the heavily armored vanguard of the Empire, the mages were the ones they needed to focus on.

After fighting with the "Empire" for half a month, the gunners naturally knew what they should do, in fact, most of the gunners were aiming at the "Empire" mage troops, and the waste of ammunition was the new recruits who had just been replenished. Today, however, the situation is a little different for the Vatican's gunners, whose attacks have caused much less damage to the "Imperial" mage troops!

"Your Excellency, Commander!" The Empire's Mage is protected by a shield guard! Our attack is nerfed! A laser gunner looked at the shield guard above the head of the "Imperial" mage and said depressedly.

"Oh yes! Those reptiles are smart! Keep calling me! It is one that can kill one! The Gunner Commander gritted his teeth and said that he really couldn't think of a better idea than to continue attacking the Empire's mage troops.
