Battle on a Clear Sky began. 15 elite cavalry formed a surprise attack team to attack Wangxia Town.
Wangxia Town was defenseless, and only a few patrol troops were deployed on the periphery. The raiding team ran into one of them, but it took them only 30 seconds to wipe them out. They didn't even stop.
After entering Wangxia Town, the assault team split into two groups. Tiger Throat led the spearman Hanshi and the archer Bingsui to attack the armory. The soldiers guarding the entrance of the armory yawned. They probably didn't know what fate awaited them.
"The Eye of the Dragonfly."
Ice Flint loaded seven arrows onto the bow and shot them all at once. Seven arrows flew in seven different directions and hit seven soldiers in the throat. There was no armor on their throats, and the soldiers fell to the ground before they could even scream.
A scout realized that something was wrong and tried to call his companions. "Enemy-"
However, just as he shouted the first word, Tiger Throat's one-handed hammer smashed his head.
The three Original People rode on the beast of perversion and attacked the armory in an unstoppable manner. The garrison in the armory was in a mess, but they soon found that there were only three attackers and immediately formed an encirclement formation. However, the beasts were too ferocious, and the soldiers were unable to stop them. The formation was quickly broken, and their speed made it impossible for the archers on the periphery to aim.
To fight against the elites, numbers alone were not enough. The commander of the defending army immediately gathered the mages in the formation, preparing to fight the elites with the elites. The leader was a middle-aged white-robed nun. She began to chant the summoning spell.
"Gods of the seven directions who have lived in the high heavens for a long time, please condescend and listen to our call. The God of the North, the God of the Southwest, the God of the Far East, the God of Black Eyes, the God of Existence, the God of the Dark Abyss, the God of Invisibility, in the name of the thirty-two Sages…"
Halfway through the incantation, the arrow from the Ice Flint passed through the shield wall set up by the soldiers and hit the nun's chest. She died on the spot. The disadvantage of summoning magic was that it took too long to chant, and it was not suitable for dealing with sudden attacks. At this time, the Demon Warrior character who practiced both magic and martial arts would be more useful.
Therefore, the defending army sent out a total of nine demon warriors. Under the cover of the soldiers, they charged at the three elite cavalry of the First People. In a situation where it was one against three, even if the warriors of the First People had the help of the beasts, they wouldn't be able to win quickly. The defenders gradually took control of the situation. At this moment, the messenger also informed the government office of the attack on the armory.
Once the government office received the news, they sent a magic troop made up of magic warriors and clergymen to support them. The distance between the armory and the government office wasn't too far. They could arrive in less than three minutes by horse.
As they galloped, the reinforcements realized that the stars were especially bright tonight.
"The Mark of the Stars."
Then, the sky full of " starlight " poured down, shooting through their bodies and their horses. Some people died on the spot, some fell off their horses, and a considerable number of people escaped the attack. Then, they saw 12 people riding 12 Perverted Beasts charging towards them. The person in the lead was glowing.
"Traitor Goodwin!" They called out that person's name. These words became their last words.
12 types of seals and 12 types of spells flew towards them. The colorful spells clashed together and burst into colorful light. After the light passed, no one could survive.
"Didn't I say to be gentle?" Goodwin complained. "If you break them, how can I use them?”
"Aren't you the one who hit me the most?”Qing Kong retorted.
In the end, Goodwin only turned three of them into " dead " for his use. In fact, this number was just right, because this batch of " dead " were all experts, and the stronger the " dead ", the harder it was to control. At present, controlling the three Death Gods didn't require much of Goodwin's energy, but if the number of powerful Death Gods increased, it would inevitably weaken Goodwin's combat ability.
"All in all, the first phase of the 'lure ambush' tactic was very successful. Next, they entered the second phase and began to attack the government office.”
Goodwin and the others didn't barge into the government office rashly. Instead, they sent out the three " dead " to clear the way. The " dead " had lost their horses and were covered in wounds. When the guards saw their miserable state, they immediately let them into the government office to ask about the situation. As soon as the " deceased " entered the house, he began to bombard the defenders with all kinds of magic spells, catching them off guard. Goodwin and the others took advantage of the chaos to charge into the government office.
As the three " dead " were deeply trapped in the enemy's formation, they were quickly blasted into pieces by the defenders who reacted. However, Goodwin immediately made the soldiers who died in the explosion into new " dead." The " dead " were wearing the same standard armor as the living, and it was difficult to distinguish them without looking carefully, creating considerable difficulties for the defenders.
"Don't get entangled with those people who 'came back from the dead'! Prioritize the Blasphemer!" The commander of the garrison gave a new order. Then, he sent a group of mages and magic warriors into the battlefield. With the help of magic, the defenders blocked the assault of the raiders, and the raiders were at a disadvantage due to the lack of manpower. The balance began to tilt in the favor of the Empire's army.
"It seems that we can't win. Then let's retreat first!”Goodwin ordered half of the " dead " to hold up the rear while he led the other half out of the government office.
They retreated to a place 500 meters away from the government office and made some adjustments. Meanwhile, the defenders were holed up in the government office, with no intention of pursuing the victory.
"It seems that we can't lure them out this time.”said Goodwin.
"They're not stupid. They won't fall for the same trick all the time.”Iron Yan commented.
"I think it's because the seduction wasn't strong enough.”said Goodwin. "Let's try again."
The raiding team began to bombard the government office with long-range artillery spells. After taking a few shots for no reason, the garrison commander decided to retaliate with long-range magic.
However, the defenders didn't want to blow up their town, so they didn't dare to use spells with too much firepower. Moreover, the chanting time of the magic cannons was longer. When the surprise attack team saw that they were about to fire, they immediately changed their position, causing their cannons to miss. On the contrary, the people in the government office couldn't move their positions. They could only obediently squat in the room and get bombarded.
After a few rounds of bombardment, the government office was blown up and several holes were left. Many soldiers died, while the surprise attack team only lost a few " dead ".
However, the defenders were unmoved and insisted on their defensive tactics. They did not say anything. They knew very well that time was on their side, and the longer the battle dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for them.
Therefore, the surprise attack team charged back. Goodwin turned the soldiers killed by the bombardment into " dead " and launched a new round of attacks. The two sides fought until the sky turned dark. The surprise attack team still could not break through the defensive position, so they retreated again.
"It's not a loss." said Goodwin. "Many of them died, and the number of 'dead' on our side has increased.”
The raiding team continued their long-range bombardment. Then, Goodwin spent some time strengthening all the " dead " with the Imprint of the Soul before attacking the government office for the third time. This time, they failed to defeat the defenders, so they retreated again.
The raiding team maintained the rhythm of " attack,"" retreat," and " attack," and carried out a total of six waves of attacks. The initiative of the battle was always in their hands. They could attack whenever they wanted, while the defenders could only passively accept the battle. The number of soldiers in the garrison decreased, and they became more and more tired.
"The second phase of the 'feigning to lure the enemy' tactic has also succeeded.”Goodwin commented. "As long as they don't take the initiative to attack, they will definitely be exhausted to death by us.”
At this moment, several rays of light suddenly cut through the darkness and descended on the government office.
"They have summoned their apostles. It seemed that the battle was about to enter the third phase.”
As expected, the defending soldiers changed their tortoise stance and charged out of the government office.
Even though the surprise attack team had consumed a lot of their forces, there were still a considerable number of defenders. The reason why they had retreated and held on was not because the defenders were not strong enough, but because the time for a counterattack had not yet arrived.
"How many lights were there in the sky just now?”asked Goodwin.
"It should be seven, right?" Yan Cai replied.
"That's seven apostles. It's not easy."
If there were only seven apostles, the " Original People " could still rely on the power of the beasts of perversion to exchange with them. However, the defenders still had a considerable number of magic warriors and mages. If they attacked with all their might, it would be difficult for the surprise attack team to deal with them.
Goodwin manipulated the " dead " into a defensive formation in an attempt to stop the Imperial Army's attack. However, the apostles instantly broke through their line of defense.
The apostle at the front had the body and face of an angel. However, his height of 3 meters made people not dare to have any improper thoughts. She was Goodwin's old comrade, Sky Apostle, Sasha.
"If you had killed her last time, we would have saved a lot of trouble now.”Qing Kong said.
"Yes, I am. I regret it too." said Goodwin. "The ancients said it well: The Virgin Mary misled the country.”
Sasha's flying ability was a huge threat. She could attack the army of the " dead " from above, and she could also easily destroy the mobility advantage of the surprise attack team, but they lacked the means to counterattack her. The magic cannons couldn't hit that high.
At this time, only Goodwin could make a move.
"The Mark of the Stars, a thousand rays of light!”
Dozens of " starlight " shot into the night sky and headed straight for Sasha. Sasha used her giant shield to block the " starlight ", but the " starlight " attacked her back in a roundabout way. However, Sasha, who was flying at full speed, was no slower than Starlight. She managed to dodge them.
"Tool Control Imprint, Fooling Trick.”
A force suddenly tugged at Sasha's shield, disrupting her dodge. The two starlights grazed her wings, causing blood to spurt out. Sasha lost her balance and rolled a few times in the air before finally falling to the ground.
In order to prevent Goodwin from feeling sympathetic again, Clear Sky made a move. She leaped up high and flew into the sky.
"Dark Scale Imprint, Black Iron Snake!”The clear sky turned into pitch-black flames and burned through Sasha's heart.
Sasha screamed. However, she only screamed for half a second before blood gushed out and blocked her throat. She could no longer make a sound.
After piercing through the Sky Apostle's body, the black flames gradually stopped burning and returned to Qing Kong's body. She was free-falling towards the ground.
Goodwin wasn't sure if she could land safely and was hesitating whether he should carry her in a princess hug.
At this moment, a meteor flew into the clear sky.
However, the shooting star was not that fast. Therefore, it was not a shooting star, but an apostle.
Sasha was not the only apostle who could fly.
