Leila Silverhand led the Flying Knights in their seventeenth charge towards the Netherworld.
In the first sixteen battles, the Silvermoon Alliance suffered heavy losses, and the high position of the Netherworld City alone made them suffer, with a limited number of flying mounts and knights who dared to ascend to the sky dying in almost half of every attack, and although mages and shepherds continued to use spells to try to save those warriors who fell from the sky, it was still difficult to prevent some unlucky knights from being smashed into meatloaf.
Of course, the number of deaths in head-on confrontations is even higher, after all, the arrows and magic of the Shade are not decorations, and the charging Leila Silver Hand has been in danger several times these days.
But she didn't stop the offensive, even though many members of the coalition had begun to grieve the sheer number of casualties in the past few days, and began to wonder if it was worth the sacrifice to fight a battle.
For this, Leila could only barely cheer up: "Everyone, Faeron will fall into the eternal night, I believe this is not what everyone wants to see, we are saving the world, no matter how much sacrifice it takes, it is worth it, our descendants and the history of the Oumar Sanctuary will remember our courage, blood and achievements today!
"Charge!"
Thousands of knights on the back of flying mounts let out an astonishing roar, considering the difficulty of the siege, the various lords of the Silver Moon Alliance contributed all the flying mounts in their territories, and some mercenary groups with great intentions also volunteered to participate in the battle and were willing to contribute all their strength to this end.
Some of these knights are nimble masters, who are responsible for navigating through the rain of arrows and magic in the changing sky, with the aim of landing on the ground of the floating city and opening up a landing position for the elite troops with less cavalry skills to land and seize the beach. In the back row, there are flying wizards in the sky, who are responsible for blessing all kinds of protection for the flying knights, and resisting the spell blockade from the Shadow City and the suppression spell on the flying mount - on the night of the battle, the wizards of the Shadow City have set up a large barrier to resist the flying creatures, all Pegasi, griffons, pterodactyls, and bipedal wyverns will have heavier wings when they are close to the Shadow City, making it difficult to move, and it is difficult to even get close to the Shadow City without the assistance of the group of wizards behind.
This large group of flying creatures swooped down fiercely from top to bottom towards the Netherworld City, and to the Nethersoul defenders, it was as if an overwhelming cloud was overwhelming, and the loud shouts mixed with the roars of beasts such as bipedal wyverns fell into the ears of the Netherworld defenders, and a large number of javelins and throwing hammers and axes fell from the sky, which was equally lethal to the Nethersoul defenders - if you accidentally came into close contact with these dangerous things, you would lose most of your life if you didn't die.
A sensible look reveals that the damage done to the Nether's defenders by this long-range weapon attack is not serious - they are either hiding under the walls or hiding in their backs, and the few exposed troops are protected by armor such as giant shields.
However, more than a thousand flying hammers and axes and javelins fell from the sky at the same time, and the wind and huge momentum brought by the weapons were like deadly hailstones, although the damage caused was not more than the hand-to-hand combat during the beach, but it was very deterrent.
Every time these knights threw this 'hail', the rain of arrows from the defenders of Netherworld would be a little less powerful.
This also created an opportunity for the knight vanguard to land on the beach.
More and more coalition forces rushed to the floating island of the Netherworld City, and the combat troops of the Netherlands immediately launched a fierce attack on the vanguard of the landing - if the brave warriors in the back row on flying mounts were allowed to go ashore, it would be difficult to expel them, the population of the Netherworld City was already small, and if three or four hundred people died in a battle, it would be a great injury.
Leila Silverhand understood this well, so she was even more determined to attack, and the oracle from the heart of the spell told her that the situation was already very dangerous—the chosen people of Shar from all planes had gathered in the kingdom of the goddess of the night, and Mystra had prepared in a hurry, and the net had been corrupted to such a depth that her strength had weakened to the point that it was not even as good as a medium god— Most of the magicians in all of Ferron were enduring the vanity of the magic web, and were on guard against the impending collapse.
Yes, collapse, many wise magicians foresaw this, as did Leila Silverhand and Erastro.
So we must conquer the City of the Shadows!
Leila Silverhand thought resolutely.
Another tidal assault was repelled by the tenacious Shade Man, and this was the seventeenth time.
The mages of the coalition army unleashed featherfall spells on the fallen warriors to protect them from falling to death, while below the floating island, a group of ** divisions corroded a platform in the hard rock, and gathered some volunteers who had been digging holes for many years and had been tomb robbers before, trying to dig a tunnel into the city of the Shadows.
There was obviously nothing good about this strategy—it was obviously difficult for them to break through the siege of the outer coalition forces and reach the bottom of the floating city.
The materials of the Nestell Floating City are all upside-down peaks.
"How's the tunnel?" said Lyra Silverhand descended from the sky, and after a short break, asked the leader of the mage group in charge of digging the tunnel.
"It's a bit tough. The mage leader nodded politely, then said, "Lady Lyra, the enemy seems to have sensed our movements, eh...... Their magic also seems to be enough to stop our infiltration, and we already have several members trapped in the mountain by the spell that turns mud to stone. ”
Looking at the regret and powerlessness on the face of the mage leader, Leila exhaled, shook her head a little weakly and walked out of the camp, wanting to launch another fierce surprise attack, but saw that most of the sergeants of the coalition army were exhausted except for the cavalry that were partially guarded in the sky, and she secretly sighed, knowing that the day was about to pass again.
"Ms. Leila! Ms. Leila!
Just as Lyra's silver hand looked back and walked towards the city, a scout descended from the sky, shouting and hurriedly driving Pegasus to Lyra's side, and stretched out his hand to the sky breathlessly: "My lord, there seems to be a twitch in the Ghost City!"
"What?!" Lyra Silverhand was taken aback as a deafening sound accompanied by a large amount of sand and gravel falling from the sky, and when she looked up to see that the floating island in the sky seemed to be shaking violently, the discovery made her eyes light up: "Quick, gather the army!"
This is a good opportunity to attack.
At the same time, she was also very interested, what happened in the Yin Soul City that made this floating city crumble?
...... At the palace in the center of the Netherworld City, eleven Netherworld Princes stood on the shaky ground, angrily looking at Revaran with an indifferent expression and Belial beside him.
Behind these two Shar believers was a crystal suspended in the air.
The princes of the Netherworld were all familiar with this crystal, and needless to say, the earthquake in the Netherworld City was caused by this.
"What are you doing, Revaran?" Miller Gant shouted sharply, "Put the Mithic Core back in, or the Netherworld will crash soon!"
Revaran remained silent and did not answer, Daisud raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his gaze to Beria: "Ma'am, what did you do to Revaran?"
The Princes of the Shadows then turned their gaze to Beria and glanced at Revaran again, and were shocked to find that the elder brother's face was dull and motionless, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
"Ma'am, is it just a lady?" said the female voter, whose long hair fluttered automatically without wind, and her voice was ethereal and magnetic: "My children, don't you even know me anymore?"
The faces of the Yin Soul Princes changed drastically.
They now finally knew why Alexia had left the Mithic Core to be taken away without resistance.
"Your Majesty, we have always respected you, but ......" there was a cold aura in Dai Sud's ghostly voice, "But your actions will bring the end of the Shadow City." ”
"So...... Are you trying to stop me?" Shar let out a string of laughs, "It's not that bad, kids...... Didn't I send a priest to lay spells all over the city, and it would make the city fall to the ground slowly, without causing severe casualties......
"But outside is the coalition of the Silver Moon Alliance, Great Majesty!" Dai Sud argued: "You don't even have to wait for the landing, just the turmoil in the city will allow them to find an opportunity to kill us!"
"Oh, that's your incompetence. Shar said in a disapproving tone: "In short, this thing, I am going to take away, whether it is used to erode the magic net, or the last step of the plan, it is the most important thing, and you must not stop it." ”
"I beg your pardon, Your Majesty. The eleven Yin Princes stepped forward with solemn expressions and drew their weapons or canes.
"Oh, are you blaspheming?" a subtle look flashed in Shar's eyes:
"It's a good guts, but you seem to have gotten something wrong. ”
"Do it! her body is just a voter!" Remerak Tansur reminded his brothers aloud - it was not the nature of the gods, and it was possible to be killed eventually, and the Nether Prince guided the Arcane, but he didn't notice something very important.
They used to use shadow spells by name.
"The Shadow Demon Web is mine. Shar silently raised his hand, and the spells of the Yin Princes exploded in the chaos of the source force, and the entire Hall of Shadows collapsed in this chaos.
The land of Shadow City is even more turbulent.
Leila Silverhand rode a Pegasus looking down on the turbulent Netherland, and could hardly believe her good luck as she watched the spectacular explosion in the center of the city.
She originally thought that it would be impossible to break through this arrogantly suspended city in the sky without a dozen days.
But the opportunity came like this, and it really made her feel inexplicable and incredible.
"Quick! She commanded the knights.
Soon, even greater chaos erupted in all parts of the Netherworld.
