Chapter 414 The Holy See's surprise attack and defeated defenders

In the middle of the night, in Mistland, [-] imperial crusade troops arrived at the city silently under the cover of the legendary magical art--the illusory realm.

"It seems that these wizards really have some skills!" Joshua looked at the towering city wall in front of him, and whispered to himself.

When they came last time, there was only a low wall of less than three meters in this small border town, but what appeared in front of them now was a solid wall with a height of seven meters.

It only took half a day for the wizards to complete such a miracle with magic!

On the city wall, a bonfire was blazing, and more than [-] guards could be vaguely seen stationed on the city wall. It seemed that no trace of them had been found.

The number of guards was much smaller than Joshua expected, but considering that in the previous battle, the Musketeers also suffered heavy casualties, and most of them should be recuperating and receiving treatment now. Musketeers, the number is not much different.

There was a sneer on the corner of Joshua's mouth. Those wizards probably couldn't have imagined that they restored the empire's guards to their fighting strength and launched a surprise attack overnight after only ten hours.

"Your Majesty Lucia, Lord Judge, do you want to launch an attack now?" Siride asked respectfully.

The distance of 700 meters is already the limit, and if they get closer, even if they are in the realm of illusion, they will be aware that something is wrong!
As for the lava fire dragon, Siride let it stay ten miles away, and flew over at the moment of the battle, but it would be sensed by the wizards.

Lucia stretched out her right hand, and the boundless divine light gathered in her palm, shrinking into a ball the size of a thumb, and then flew straight to the towering city wall 700 meters away.

The soldiers on the city wall could only see a bright firefly floating towards them in the dim night. The speed was extremely fast, and the distance of 700 meters could be said to be reached in an instant!

Before they could even shout, the ray of fluorescent light expanded rapidly, and then exploded!
Booming. Deafening explosions resounded throughout the entire castle. The tall walls were shattered under the impact of the strong explosion. The city gate was directly blasted open, and broken stones flew, forming a fog like mist and rain.

Dozens of patrolling guards on the city wall were knocked to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion, blood was splashed everywhere, and screams and wailing resounded continuously...

The moment Lucia made a move, the 【Domain—Illusory Realm】was broken instantly, and more than ten thousand divine punishment knights shouted "For the glory of the Lord!" The scimitar and long sword chopped down the guards in the city one after another!
Perhaps the timing of their attack was too sudden, and the enemy hadn't reacted yet, or it might be that the morale of such people had been crushed in the midday battle, and they hadn't recovered yet. During this assault, they didn't encounter any Without any obstacles, the crusading army of the Holy See has already entered the city!

It went so smoothly... Joshua felt a lot of uneasiness in his heart. After entering the city, they found that a torch was placed on every street and many guards were placed, but they did not encounter any Effective blocking!
No rows of musketeers, no cannons, and no wizards!

The whole city was 'quiet' except for the terrified shouts of the guards fleeing in all directions.

It's so weird that it's frightening!
"What's going on here?" Siride was at a loss, really confused about the situation.

What about their enemies?What about those wizards?

Just when everyone was wondering, a group of brave God's Punishment Knights captured the leader of the guards.

It was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a slightly thin body and fat cheeks. He knelt down on the ground with a face of fear, kowtowed repeatedly, and said in a trembling voice.

"My lord bishop, I surrender... I surrender! I beg you to forgive my sins, those damn wizards cast a spell on us, forcing us to help them guard this town..."

"Enough!" Joshua interrupted the man's justification, and asked indifferently. "Tell me, where are those wizards?"

"They...they left in a flying house 15 minutes ago." The thin middle-aged man replied timidly.

"You mean they have already escaped?" Joshua said in surprise, frowning slightly.

This is not impossible. After all, the power of the empire and the Holy See is far beyond that of these demon minions. The wizards have just experienced a defeat and brought many wounded soldiers. It is very normal for them to flee.

It's just that the timing was so coincidental, just 15 minutes before they arrived.

Their luck can only be described as bad!
"Do you know which direction those wizards are going?" Lucia asked suddenly.

"Yes...it's the north side!" The middle-aged man replied hesitantly.

As soon as this remark came out, the bishops present showed a look of astonishment, because the kingdom was to the west of them!
If you want to evacuate, it is impossible to fly to the north no matter what!

"Is there anything in the north?" Lucia asked suspiciously.

"It's kerosene!" Joshua's expression was very serious. After searching the memories of the prisoners before, he had some doubts about this.

Because the wizards launched this counterattack, the first goal should be to regain the lost territory of the kingdom. The remaining two legions have been stranded in the kingdom before, which can prove this point.

And the legion they encountered was the only exception. It took the initiative to break into the empire, and its target was the Mistland, probably for the fire oil.

"These wizards must want to seize or destroy the empire's weapon of war!" Syrid said indignantly.

The importance of kerosene is self-evident. It has played a great role in the war against barbarians and dealing with strange monsters in recent years, reducing a large number of casualties.

Lucia shook her head, not agreeing with Siride's guess.

Although kerosene is easy to use, it is simply not enough compared to the artillery owned by the wizards.

"It should be that the Wizard Council has found other uses for fire oil." Lucia guessed.

In the last battle against the kingdom, the Griffon Knights led by Avidell brought a lot of fire oil, and they were captured in all likelihood.

Those wizards must have discovered some secrets after doing some research on this thing, so they are very eager to get it, and even think that it can affect the outcome of the war to a certain extent, so they suddenly come forward at such a critical moment. To find kerosene...
