Eleven raiders entered the armory. Their arrival instantly changed the balance of power between the two sides.
The demon warriors of the garrison were already having a hard time dealing with Tiger Throat and the other two, and the newly appeared warriors of the First People had beaten them to a pulp within three rounds. Without the protection of the magic warriors, the mages became live targets, and within a minute, they were all slaughtered by the raiding team.
The soldiers who died in battle were turned into " dead " by Goodwin, so the raiding team overwhelmed the defenders of the armory in terms of numbers.
"We surrender!" The commander threw away the weapon in his hand. "Please don't kill us!"
Yan Cai shook her fiery red hair and walked to the commander. She did not understand the Empire's language, but she understood what he meant. Then, she stabbed the long knife into his mouth.
"Hey, he has surrendered." Goodwin told her.
"Do we have people to watch the prisoners?”she said.
Goodwin was silent for half a second before he made a decision. "We don't have any prisoner of war regulations with the Empire. Kill them."
The living soldiers of the empire were a threat, but the dead soldiers could be used by him. This was a difficult war, and he had no room to play a humane game with the enemy.
These soldiers were also someone's husband, father, or child. However, since Goodwin had chosen to be with the Original People, he was destined to kill them with his own hands.
The raiding team finally occupied the armory and obtained a sufficient supply of weapons, as well as a powerful army of the " dead." However, they did not have any time to catch their breath. The soldiers of the Imperium from the government office had already defeated the troops of the 'dead' who were responsible for covering the rear and marched toward the arsenal.
" The battle has entered the third phase."
The Imperial Army did not rashly attack the armory. Instead, they chose to use magic to bombard the perimeter, a tactic that Goodwin had used before. If Goodwin continued to hide in the armory, he could only silently endure the bombardment of all kinds of magic.
And Goodwin's response was the same as the Imperial Army's: No matter how loud your cannon sounds, I will not move. After all, you were bombing your own warehouse and killing the " dead " controlled by magic.
However, Goodwin's situation was different from the Imperial Army. Previously, the imperial army chose to hold on because they were waiting for the priests to complete the summoning ritual. Now, Goodwin chose to hold on, but he would not wait for his reinforcements. On the contrary, if he continued to wait, he would only wait until the dynasty's reinforcements arrived on the battlefield.
The distance between King's Town and the Gathering of the Seven was very close. The battle had progressed to this point, and the news that " King's Town had been attacked " had already reached the Imperial Capital. The Third Royal Guard, who were known for their combat skills, were now rushing to King's Town and would arrive soon. At that time, the Original People, who were already at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, would have no way to turn the tide.
However, the Third Guard, who had been rushing forward, suddenly encountered an unexpected situation and slowed down their progress slightly. -- They had stepped on a trap during their march.
These traps were not very well laid out. They were just a pit dug in the middle of the road and covered with some grass. It could be identified with the naked eye. However, it was midnight, and the guards were in a hurry. The cavalrymen at the front fell into the trap.
The trap wasn't deep, but even so, the feeling of falling into it along with the horse wasn't very good. Moreover, the traps were filled with black mud, and the cavalrymen were wearing heavy armor. Without the help of others, they would not be able to stand up.
The most infuriating thing was that these traps were scattered. There was a trap in the east and a trap in the west. You thought that you had passed through the trap area, but as you ran, you fell into a new trap. The cavalrymen were afraid of the fall and had no choice but to slow down. They stared at the road ahead while riding carefully.
As they rode, they suddenly smelled a foul smell. Then, the cavalrymen with black mud on their bodies suddenly exploded. Mud-like monsters jumped out of their bodies. The soldiers realized that their swords couldn't cut through these monsters. Once their swords touched them, it was as if they were glued together.
"This is a filth-type spell! Don't touch them, attack them with water magic!”
The mages immediately started chanting. However, before they could finish chanting, a new situation occurred.
"Someone is approaching!”
The soldiers looked into the distance and saw more than a dozen riders running towards them.
"Is it an enemy? Squad 14, form an attack formation!”
When the horses got closer, they realized that the enemy was not riding a horse, but a beast.
The " Confrontation Formation " couldn't withstand the attack of the Rebel Beast and was immediately sent flying. The soldiers of Squad 14 thought that they were going to die, but the enemy did not even look at them and charged straight at the mage who was chanting.
"Oh no, their target is the Spell Casters! Stop them!"
The soldiers immediately stood in front of the mages. They saw a knight in black armor riding a beast with a snake's head and a beast's body.
"Dark Scale Imprint, Black Iron Snake!”
The black knight turned into a pillar of black flames and flew towards them. Humans couldn't stop the flames, so the soldiers subconsciously avoided them. The flames were already in front of the mages, turning back into that slender black figure.
In the blink of an eye, three mages were assassinated by the black knights. In the next second, the Black Knight's companions had arrived. They raised their blades and killed all the mages.
"Who is this person?" Blasphemer is that strong?”It was hard to imagine that the Royal Third Guards, who were known as the ever-victorious army, would be beaten to a pulp by more than a dozen 'blasphemers'.
This was because their opponents weren't ordinary Blasphemers.
Their opponents were 13 elites selected from the thousands of Blasphemers.
The 13 members of the raiding team were all here. Before the army of the Imperium finished surrounding the armory, they had already sneaked out.
Now, Goodwin was the only one guarding the armory. He alone was enough to command the Dead Legion.
"The Seal of Filth, Black Earth Filth.”
Clear Sky summoned a large number of mud figures. The soldiers were both physically and mentally afraid of the ugly and corrosive summoned creatures, and they were instantly thrown into disarray. Only a few mages and magic warriors who had mastered water magic stood up to fight against them.
These soldiers with water imprints were the targets of the surprise attack team. They all displayed their abilities and quickly killed the Water Mage and the Demon Warrior.
"The targets have all been annihilated. Retreat!" Then, the surprise attack team left the battlefield on the back of the beast, leaving only the mud humanoids and mud monsters to continue to harm the Royal Guards.
The number of sludge creatures was too small to cause effective damage to the Royal Guards. However, the Royal Guards who had lost their Water Mages could not do anything to them. They charged into the formation recklessly like cockroaches barging into the women's locker room, causing a complete mess. In this unequal battle, this regular army that had never been defeated in a hundred battles actually felt like newbies pecking at each other.
It seemed that they would not be able to reach the battlefield before the final battle in Wangxia Town was over.
Having achieved their goal, the raiding team did not return to the armory to support the Dead army. Instead, they headed straight for the government office. At this moment, the Empire's main force and all the apostles were besieging the armory, while the government office was empty.
"The third phase of the strategy was also successful. In the end, he still managed to lure the enemy out.”
13 elite warriors charged into the government office. The remaining troops, who realized that the situation was not good, immediately sent out the signal soldiers.
"Quickly inform the pursuing troops that the enemy's main force is here! The armory is just a cover!"
However, the corpse on the ground suddenly turned into a " dead " and stopped the signalman.
The shining apostle had already entered the government office.
"Goodwin? When did you arrive?"
" I 'read' the flow of magic here. I reckon you've started attacking the City Hall," Goodwin said. "I took advantage of the smoke from the explosion to sneak out of the armory and come to support you.”
"Who else is in the armory now?”
"Not a single living person. Only those 'dead' people."
"…Can they hold on?"
"Naturally, we can't. Since the Empire wants the armory so much, I'll give it to them.”
The outer wall of the armory had been strengthened by magic, but under the continuous bombardment, it eventually collapsed. The army of the dead, which was defenseless, was immediately beaten up by the six apostles and a large group of imperial soldiers.
At this time, the surprise attack team had already taken down the government office and was ready to move underground.
" The battle has entered the fourth phase."
