When Bishop Bart gathered hundreds of soldiers to give an impromptu speech, Baron Jacques was leading his best troops in a panic and hid in the safest place in the center of the city.

Baron Jacques and Bishop Barthes are obviously two types of people.

Bishop Bart's job is to confuse people's hearts, so he is quite immune to the demagogy of the enemy.Especially in the long-term religious competition, struggle, and even war work, Bishop Bart has also accumulated a considerable degree of experience and coping strategies in the face of mysterious things.

Such as the so-called sky thunder, such as those loudspeakers... The longer Bart has been in contact with gods, the more he understands that all gods are imagined by people. As long as people really believe, the power of gods exists. Doesn't exist - and so do devils, they're just another name for failed gods.

So Bishop Butter sent people to inspect the city walls to learn the real tricks of the enemy.

But Baron Jacques obviously does not have such insight and awareness, he is just a lord, he does not have the curiosity and curiosity of Bishop Barth, he does not care how these thunders are cast, he only knows that the enemy uses this Way broke his two castles, one of wood and one of stone.

And Baron Jacques is quite clear: he obviously does not have the ability to build a castle stronger than stone.

Jacques was not like Bart, who doubted the effectiveness of this new weapon. After confirming that Shuangchahe Fort was breached, his first thought was that since the city wall could not be defended, he would simply give it to the enemy. The people in the city resisted steadily in the city, making the enemy realize that if they want to capture Xiaoyang City, they have to walk over the corpses and blood of the whole city-Xiaoyang City belongs to his property!

Even if the entire city is set on fire, Baron Jacques will never give it up!

anyone!

Even God!

In the view of Baron Jacques, only with such determination can the enemy's ambitions be stopped. War is nothing but for the sake of cities and population. If the end result is only a loss for both sides, then no matter whether it is a god or a man, they will carefully consider the war to continue necessity.

In the view of Baron Jacques, this kind of determination is the most important factor, which really affects the outcome of the war, and even determines whether the war itself will happen or not.

As for how the sky thunder was generated and how to eliminate it, Jacques knew that he was not good at this, and his subordinates did not have talents who were good at it, so he completely gave up fighting the enemy in this aspect.Since Bart is willing to do it, let him do as he pleases, it would be best if it succeeds, and if it fails, at least it is a wake-up call for himself.

The news that Bishop Barth found the "Sky Thunder" on the city wall actually reached Jacques' ears immediately.

The baron's first thought at that time was also to go over immediately to see the excitement. ——If you can master the use of this kind of sky thunder, then in the future holy war, maybe you can use this method to break through more cities.

However, when Baron Jacques just walked out of the house and was about to mount his horse and set off, he saw two knights who had just been canonized by him, that is, two of the three brothers, waiting for him. The two told the baron that their eldest brother had already I was summoned by the pastor to go to the city wall. When the eldest brother left, he asked them to come over, and told them to stop the lord and not come close!Do not come near!Never come near! ——They have all seen with their own eyes how the Elis people blasted the Shuangcha River Fort at night, and they all know that the Elis people can detonate the distant sky thunder without lighting a fire or approaching people.

But these explanations obviously cannot be accepted by Bishop Bart and their priests, because the boss himself is not [-]% sure-what if the Elis people just used a small candle next to the "Sky Thunder" as a delayed detonation?This little trick is easy to do.And on a moonlit night, the light of a small candle in the distance is easily overlooked.

The boss couldn't resist the orders from the bishop, but he couldn't get rid of his own worries—so he sent his brothers back to report the news to the lord.

Just when Baron Jacques was still hesitating whether he should trust the new knight who didn't know these two words, the shouts of the crowd came from the city wall, and they made rhythmic waves. The loud voice of the Yili people persuading them to surrender was even more shocking and exciting. They shouted over and over again that the Xiaoyang Sect must win!This shout made Baron Jacques feel a little emotional—those were his soldiers and subjects, but apparently, they only remembered that they were followers of the Little Sun God.

The vague unhappiness dispelled Baron Jacques's idea of ​​going to see the excitement, and going there rashly would only cause embarrassment.Jacques sent a herald to tell Bishop Barthes afterwards that he would treat the bishop to dinner that evening.

Bishop Bart's speech and cheers became louder and louder, and soon many citizens in the city began to commotion.Apparently, the bishop's intention was to expand the influence of this matter as soon as possible, and to maximize his prestige in Xiaoyang City.

Just when Baron Jacques began to hesitate in his heart, whether to send another messenger to stop the bishop's outrageous action now, he heard his mount neighing in the stable at the door, and just as he was about to stand up When he went to check what was happening outside, the baron felt a faint vibration under his feet.

The baron almost subconsciously thought it was an earthquake, and then he heard a huge noise!The sound was exactly the same as the sky thunder described by the three sentinels in their report—it was louder and heavier than real thunder.

Also more powerful.

Jacques almost ran out of the door and quickly rushed to the top of the bell tower.

Two minutes later, standing on the clock tower, His Excellency the Baron could clearly see that a huge cloud of smoke had risen from the north gate, which seemed to completely cover the city gate and the arrow tower—but soon, His Excellency the Baron realized that It turned out that I was wrong, it was not the shroud, but the city gate and the arrow tower had completely disappeared at this time - they had become a large pile of stone fragments piled on the ground.

City gate!became!Pieces!

Then Jacques heard screams, countless screams, as if there was hell in an instant, and his soldiers, at this moment, became poor souls tormented in hell.

"Save us!"

"My God! My hand! My hand!"

"The devil's thunder...the Irisians are real devils!"

"No! Help me..."

"Come and block the gap to prevent the Elisians from rushing over!"

"The Elisians are coming!"

……

Jacques's first thought was the same as that of his officers-assemble the troops quickly!The Elisians are about to take the opportunity to attack the city!

He shouted to the duty officer under the clock tower: "Hans, ring the bell! Ring the bell!"

The sound of the bell quickly summoned the nearby reserve team, and Baron Jacques immediately sent sentries to all the surrounding walls. When these sentries came back to report, after confirming that the Iris people did not attack the city, the distance from the explosion had passed Almost half an hour.

The screams of those injured by the explosion were much weaker, not because they received medical treatment, but because most of them had lost the strength to scream, or simply lost the ability to scream forever.

One of the most courageous troops has gone to the explosion point to confirm that the Elisians did not attack the city—fortunately, Jacques couldn't imagine that if the tide of Elisians took advantage of this great opportunity to rush into the city, they would be killed by the sky. The army frightened by Lei may not have any courage to resist.

As for Bishop Bart, and those noisy priests-not even their bodies were found at the scene, strictly speaking, only a lot of corpses were found.Most of them are now broken into pieces, like meat in a hodgepodge, completely mixed with the destroyed city wall stones into a disgusting mass.

Although Bishop Butt made countless mistakes today, one sentence was right and he did it:

They used their bodies to become part of the city wall.

Almost all the soldiers who watched the scene were dead, and many of them were still wearing good armor-but those armors that could block knives, guns, bows and crossbows obviously couldn't block the thunder.

According to the incoherent report brought back by the officer, the armor on those people's bodies had been completely smashed by the stones produced by the explosion, and the entire body and armor were completely mixed together, almost indistinguishable.

There were many more people on the scene, but they did not die for a while, they were all buried under the ruins of the city wall, and some of them were still able to call for help and scream—but the people outside were completely powerless and had no courage to rescue them, because no one could help them. It is not clear whether there will be a second thunder at the scene.

Those people were tortured to death almost alive under the ruins. A few minutes before they were buried alive, these people also vowed with Bishop Bart to dedicate everything to this war—but I am afraid that none of them Unexpectedly, the speed at which I was consecrated was so fast and so miserable.

During the period after the explosion, dozens of residents lived close to the city wall. Before the army sealed the opening, they went out of the city and surrendered to the Elis people.

When the army arrived, hundreds of people were trying to flee with their luggage - apparently, after the explosion, they no longer had any confidence to resist.The will that was gathered by Bart just now was completely shattered by this thunder. Not to mention the residents, even many soldiers began to think carefully—many soldiers were even inquiring about each other, learning from each other, or learning from each other. Fixed the standard surrender action required by those Irisians to persuade them to surrender.

"That opening must be closed immediately!" The baron immediately issued an order, "Set up a monitoring zone in that area, and no one is allowed to approach the city wall without permission! Tell the soldiers that the sky thunder of the Elis can only be used once! Cast the sky thunder It needs to consume a huge amount of mana! Go!"

"Then what if the Elis people release the second sky mine?"

"Then change your mind and say you can only play it twice!" The baron roared angrily, "It doesn't matter what you say, the key is that we have to say something now!"

The officer quickly went down to execute the order, but the effect of his execution was obviously not very good. The aftermath of this explosion soon caused waves in Xiaoyang City.

The baron had no choice but to send more officers and troops to maintain order in the city.And these actions obviously caused great discomfort to the residents-all these military actions required some "reasonable military pay", and the baron would definitely not pay, and in the end it could only be borne by the residents.

Fortunately, the greed of the soldiers overwhelmed their fear for the time being. As the night gradually deepened, the restlessness in the city subsided, and the baron also began to send some of his sons to restrain the soldiers from going too far.

Just when the baron thought that today's challenge was finally over and the plot of the Elisians had gone bankrupt, the same loud noise came again from the direction of the west gate—and then the same screams and commotion.

As the damned crow-mouthed officer feared at first:

The Elisians let off a second thunderstorm.
