Chapter 326: Senseless Casualties (Part II)

Saleen's computing power could not be better. I don't understand this senseless sacrifice. These soldiers, and the old man in the red robe, for what?

Sending so many lives and dying on the battlefield is faith?

In the eyes of the magician, there must be a reward for giving. The world is balanced, but these believers only know how to carry out the commands, the so-called oracles.

God said there would be light, and there was light.

Salin suddenly understood why so many magicians in the world were opposed to the rule of the Holy See. If the Holy See rules the world, then the inheritance of magicians will be cut off.

Magicians doubt everything, including the gods.

"Before dark, let the mercenaries take charge of the defense, and the second battalion withdraws. Salin gave the order a little tiredly, and then said, "Uncle Freit, you can stay here." At night. That guy might attack, and our people can't stop it. ”

"Don't worry. The Ferrett couple replied with a smile, although they were very uneasy in their hearts, but Saleen had already handed them six ninth-level magic scrolls and had to test them. If they can kill a Golden Sword Saint, it will also be of great help to their future cultivation.

From the eighth-level magician to the ninth-level, there is not much obstacle to cross, but it takes a lot of time. The Fillettes didn't know about the six-dimensional space yet, and of course they were reluctant to give up the opportunity in front of them.

Within range of the expeditionary force's attack, the soldiers of the second battalion retreated, allowing the temporarily conscripted mercenaries to rise to the top. However, the walls of Metatrin were too wide, and in fact the second battalion did not remove the head of the city, but only rested in the buildings at the head of the city, removed its armor, and began to rest.

The enemy's main force is not on the line, and there is no need for Salin to let his main force wait nervously.

In the blink of an eye, it was dark, the city was full of fire, and the siege was still continuing, and even the nervous mercenaries at the head of the city could see that such an attack was meaningless.

The mercenaries were not without casualties, but the enemy's steel arrow cart still dealt a certain blow to the mercenaries, and the mercenaries' equipment was inferior to Saleen's second battalion. The heavy infantry of the second battalion, even if they were hit by a large hanging arrow, were mostly protected by heavy armor. The helmet of the heavy infantry, but it can defend against alchemical crossbows.

A big arrow hits. In the absence of penetration, at most minor injuries were inflicted on heavy infantry. If you are rescued and treated with magic, you will be able to recover in a week.

The armor of the mercenaries is barely able to defend against ordinary bows and arrows, but fortunately, with the enemy's hanging shots, only the steel arrow cart can fly up to the city from a distance of 500 meters, and there is no accurate head.

The battle loss ratio between the two sides reached 1 to 10. Because the enemy soldiers who were wounded at the head of the city could no longer be treated by the magicians, and Saleen did not want any prisoners, the morale of the mercenaries was stabilized.

If one dies on his own side, the enemy will die at least ten, and such a battle is acceptable to mercenaries. In peacetime, when the mercenaries encounter a strong enemy, they rely entirely on the superiority of numbers, otherwise a one-to-one battle loss ratio can make morale high.

After several hours of fighting, the number of mercenaries killed was less than five hundred, but the wounded. Up to more than three thousand. The wounded were snatched back and sent back to the city walls for resettlement.

With so many casualties, more than a dozen small mercenary groups have been rotated, and the mercenaries are very excited.

The nobles in the city saw that the 100,000 army was blocked by the city wall, and the city lord held on, and his mood gradually stabilized. At the town hall, hundreds of nobles went to Daniel, wanting to send their own soldiers to participate in the defense.

Because of the city of Saleen, many laws have not yet been finalized, and Daniel is also troublesome to deal with. These nobles wrote improvised contracts, promising to give everything they had to help Metatrin survive this difficult situation.

Saleen's inadvertent visit to the front line and his stay at the head of the city gave the nobles a sense of trust.

Because in Qin Yin, this kind of behavior represents the coexistence and death of the city lord and the city, and he will never escape. The nobles also have their own glory, and these nobles are unwilling to submit to the Holy See or the Holy Rock City, and of course they have a certain amount of courage. Since Saleen is not fleeing, they are also willing to help Saleen.

Saleen waited at the head of the city, knowing that in the middle of the night, the enemy's main force would move.

At twenty-two o'clock, the magic clock at Salin's bedside rang, and Saleen opened his eyes to see Sika standing by his side.

"Why don't you sleep?" looked at Shika, and Saleen felt at peace and relaxation.

"It won't be too long a battle, I use my alchemical binoculars to observe the enemy's camp. The place where the grain was stored was guarded by only a few hundred people. They ran out of food, and in two or three days at most, the fighting would be over. Schika's words were very coherent, very different from her usual confusion.

"Oh, you're going to fight?"

"Of course, I am the Priest of the Earth, and in ancient times, the Priest of the Earth could command more than 100,000 Caucasians, which is much better than those officers under you. Schika said with some smugness.

"Sika, even if that Golden Sword Saint is killed by me, the two guys around him are also very strong, and you can't deal with it alone......"

"Salin, you don't have to persuade me, I have brought two hundred Caucasians and stayed by your side. If those two mages dared to approach, I would fly over and kill them with a stick. ”

"Sika, it's just a mage, and it is true that you can be killed by you when you get close, but a mage of this level may have relatively powerful equipment in his hands. You see, my badge. You can kill that Golden Juggernaut, if they have similar equipment, you are in danger. Saleen said nervously.

Sika touched the white bone necklace around his neck and said to Salin, "I'm afraid of that Golden Sword Master, if you can kill him, I'm not afraid of the other two mages." ”

"Either way, don't risk it, stay on the walls. If you are closer to Neris and them, even an eighth-level magician, they can't kill us in an instant. ”

"Salin, why didn't you call Elenor?" Sika knew. If there was Elennor's archery, it would be easier to calculate the Golden Juggernaut.

"This ...... Still don't talk about it. Elenore has another task. ”

"Master, you're awake!" Nellis broke into the room, and behind her, there were two more demons, but it was Laura and Eva.

"Didn't you want to protect the Philets!" Salin scolded when he saw Neris. To kill that Golden Sword Master, the Philet couple was the key, except for these two people, no one in the city could unfold a ninth-level magic scroll.

"Aini is here, he has arranged the undead magic, and his summoned creatures, Philet will not be in trouble, master, I am worried, if Sister Xika follows you, she will be in danger. Nellis said flatteringly. Shika also smiled, Neris didn't care about what happened to Ferret, she only cared about Sarin. However, she directly violated Sarin's orders, and Neris was not willing, so she used the excuse to fight side by side with Shika and not make Saleen angry.

"Heh......" Salin laughed half-heartedly, knowing Neris's thoughts.

"How's the attack under the city?" Sika didn't talk nonsense, she cared more about things than Neris thought.

"The second battalion was replaced, and the casualties were down. ”

"How many people died in total?"

"It's still less than a thousand, but the enemy has already suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and we've taken some prisoners. Nellis patiently explained.

"What are you going to do with the captives!" Salin said angrily. These are the followers of the Lord of Light, and sooner or later they will be destroyed.

"Judy Koko wants to look into it and see if he can remove the magic from their bodies. ”

"Judy Koko......" Salin's heart moved, what Judy Koko was studying was definitely not what he said. It is estimated that the divine control of these believers has something in common with his own contract to control the three kings, and Judy Coco wants to get out of control. My own actions should be stepped up.

However, you can't do it yourself, otherwise the contract will backfire. Those two ninth-level magicians, if they give orders. It's the same, this kind of thing can only be calculated by Neris herself.

"Master, I understand. There are not many captives, and I brought two of them to destroy the souls of these captives. The two demons behind Naris also smiled at Salin flatteringly.

Salin is relieved that Neris has grown up and is thoughtful, and is no longer the little devil who can be deceived. Judy Coco is so treacherous, and it is also in Nellis's calculations.

"Let them go, Nyris, you and I, and watch the battle. Saleen didn't wash his face, he directly applied a cleansing technique to himself, took Saleen and Sika, and walked out of the room.

The rooms at the head of the city, unlike the barracks, were arranged according to the rules of Dante's order. There are only two floors in total, and below the two floors, it goes deep into the city walls. The top of the city wall is fifty meters thick, and the foundation is sixty meters thick, such a thick city wall can no longer be regarded as a wall, and every few hundred meters, there are hollow warehouses.

If the defenders of the city do not change their defenses, they will not need to go down the city to get supplies.

Salin's observation position, in fact, has only one window. With his elemental eye, he can see movement in the enemy's camp, including the movement of the enemy's magician. Returning to this commanding room, Salin sighed in his heart that if the magic tower was built, he could command everything in the temple without having to face the direct threat of the Golden Sword Master.

Thirty-six magic towers, not to mention the Golden Sword Master, even Joey or Faka can't break in.

In the camp in the distance, the flames were connected. Salin saw that the main force of the expeditionary force had not yet assembled, and knew that he was not too late to get up. The second battalion was back on top, and the third battalion was also on the ramparts, ready to support.

Probably more than two thousand barbarian shooters, and more than three thousand Caucasians, armed with throwing axes, and hard bows, entered the defensive point. Everything was ready, just waiting for the strongest onslaught of the enemy.

Why didn't the three strong men of the Black Armor Army personally participate in the siege? Salin couldn't figure it out. He was not to blame for this, he did not think about the extent of the contradictions within the Holy See.

After several hours of continuous attack, the expeditionary force lost more than 10,000 troops, and the people of the Inquisition just did not see it. If he had been fighting so slowly, Salin would have lost a maximum of 20,000 men, and he would have been able to wipe out the expeditionary force.

"It's coming, let the people of the third battalion also prepare, all the magicians, start blessing the magic to the officers!" Salin was thinking when he saw the main force in the camp start to move. The soldiers began to put on armor, the magicians blessed the warriors with divine magic, and a large number of small and medium-sized equipment was pushed out, and it seemed that the main force of the enemy was about to attack the city.
