It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 678 The Day of the War God Temple's Offensive

three days later.

The reinforcements from the Temple of War arrived on the plains as promised. The combined forces did not linger and marched into the valley on the deadline day.

Divine soldiers spread across the fields, and angels soared through the sky.

The vast and imposing military formation, carrying an aura of solemnity, rose layer upon layer to the city walls below the valley, gleaming with an unshakeable steel light, perfectly aligned.

Of the 50,000 men Lucas had gathered, more than 30,000 had arrived. The combined forces of the Temple of the Army, 8,000 temple warriors, and 1,000 angel legions, carrying numerous towering and massive siege weapons, formed a magnificent military formation that was visually striking.

Lovely watched this scene from a chair on the city wall, her face solemn as she nodded to the banished demon god.

The army beneath the city walls began to beat their war drums, the thunderous roar echoing across the grasslands. Angels also sounded their horns in the clouds, like a call from heaven, proclaiming the declaration of war.

It's a frontal attack.

The war god generals on horseback galloped across the valley, waving their banners—a final warning to those who refused to surrender.

After waving his flag three times to no avail, the general reined in his horse, glanced coldly at the valley above, then turned his horse around and galloped towards the front of his own army formation.

The thunderous war drums sounded again, this time with a much clearer meaning than before, as catapults and magic cannons were loaded with ammunition.

Despite the earth-shaking sound of the drums, it was as if there was no sound at all.

"..."

After a brief silence.

"fire!!"

Boom—! Boom boom boom!!!
Fireworks erupted from the ground, shattering the city walls. Angels in the clouds drew their bows, and lightning and divine light roared. At that moment, a barrage of cannon fire exploded on the dark mountainside of the valley, leaving behind a trail of booming sounds, and the city walls shook violently.

Lovely was nearly knocked off her chair by the impact; the loud bang almost deafened her. Sif quickly caught her.

"This is?"

Lucas, positioned as the commander-in-chief, watched this scene from afar. The entire valley trembled under the simultaneous roar of cannons, huge rocks fell from the outer walls, and cracks were blasted into the city walls by the dense bombardment.

The barrier disappeared?
He was overjoyed to learn this, while Lovely, after being supported by Sif, coldly gave instructions to the person beside him.

"fire."

Boom boom boom——!!!
A deafening roar erupted from the city walls, as dozens of magic cannons, their firepower adjusted, burst forth with intense purple light, simultaneously blasting down on the army formation below.

"Varied……"

Lucas's pupils contracted slightly.

Not only him, but the Western Knights below the valley also looked up in astonishment at this scene. They knew that the Fifth Princess had never fought back during their siege before!

It was too late to react. The radiant light of the purple flowers fell into the western front, and the power of the magic cannons was like a meteorite ploughing up the earth. The area hit was instantly left with nothing.

The soldiers in the western border turned their heads and stared in astonishment at this scene.

The military formation that had been beside them was as if it had been crushed by a beam of light; those who had been there didn't even have time to scream.

"Lofley, how dare you!!"

Lucas immediately ordered a second round of bombardment, but at that moment, the valley gates, which had been closed for months, opened unexpectedly.

"?!"

what!
The allied forces roared as they charged out of the city gates. They were mercenaries from the allied city-states, orcs from the valley, Tideguards from Tide City, and brave and fearless warriors from the North.

There are also countless clergy and religious warriors from various sects, as well as various mixed national and sectarian forces.

Lucas nearly jumped up from his chair, staring at the scene in bewilderment and shock.

The other party actually intended to—

Sail out of the city to meet the enemy?!
At the forefront was the infantry formation of the Western Frontier. They watched as the enemy surged out of the city gates. The Northern warriors raised their axes with brutal force, and the orcs' eyes were filled with bloodthirsty hatred. Although they had never expected this situation, they still set up a spear and shield formation immediately.

"Raise your shields!!"

"Hold the line!!"

The commander of the Western Frontier loudly issued orders, and at that moment, Attana on the city wall manifested her hunting bow, slowly drawing back the string and pointing it diagonally towards the sky in a high-fidelity stance—

"The Mother Goddess of the Hunt, who invokes the protection of the bow and arrow, and entrusts the future of our people."

"Determined to break through this curtain—"

"Hunting Heaven's Treasure Shot!"

The radiance of the gods condensed on the bowstring, and the blind, dragon-slaying god-hero beside him also drew back the ancient great bow.

"Divine power, shoot down the sun—"

Arrows with blue light and brown bodies fell into the sky, and moments later, a dense barrage of blue light spears and brown arrows crashed down on the western border defense line.

Thump thump thump thump thump thump—! ! !
The western front was overwhelmed by a sea of ​​arrows, the deafening thuds crashing down like a torrential downpour. The soldiers at the front were thrown into chaos, unsure whether to raise their arrows into the air or face the arrows head-on.

The coalition forces had already charged towards them.

"Kill!!"

"!!"

Slightly in front, a divine general from the temple.

"They actually used divine power right from the start?"

He calmly directed the temple's army to advance step by step according to their positions, while the second round of magic cannons roared into action, raining down densely on the valley walls.

Boom——! !

"Your Highness, Fifth Princess!!" Sif immediately shielded Lovely.

After dodging this round, Lovely remained calm and looked to the side again.

"fire."

The purple-glowing magic cannon blasted down into the valley once more. The deities of the temple raised their shields and used their divine protection, while the angels in the sky leaped towards the city walls.

Liya Lan coldly waved her hand—

"It's now!"

Countless crossbow bolts rained down into the sky, the warriors of the Temple of War dodging the arrows with their spears, some of whom, unfortunately struck, had their wings stained red and plummeted downwards.

Lucas watched this scene in astonishment from the ranks of his troops.

What?! How dare she?!

She actually declared war on the Temple of War!?

The vanguard was already embroiled in close-quarters combat. Facing the onslaught, the knights of the Western Frontier fought bravely, brandishing their spears and swords, their weapons glowing with magical light. One orc felled, but more orcs charged forward recklessly. The knights, seeing these beasts' suicidal fighting, felt a surge of rage in their eyes.

"Ha!" A warrior from the north felled a knight with a single blow of his axe. "Is this all the knights are capable of?!"

The next moment, he was shot down by a magical arrow, and the other warriors from the North jumped over him and then leaped high into the air to chop down on the knights with their axes.

In terms of both situation and numbers, the Western Territory and the Temple of War undoubtedly had the upper hand. The Temple's army finally made steady progress to the front, and a god-like warrior caught the axe that leaped high into the air with one hand.

Northern Warrior: "?"

Kamui's slash pierced through him without hesitation.

On the city wall, as the angels approached, Mena threw a starry sky mirror into the air, and a curtain of stars opened above her head, with countless chains of stars binding the approaching angels.

Below, the goddess priestess of the Sunfire Church took the sword of the temple's god, while the priestess of the Azure Moon Church pierced the latter with a beam of light. More and more gods and gods clashed together, and the scene was filled with the intertwining of divine power, causing the earth to crack and tremble.

The northern warrior who had been shot down earlier got up, twisted off the arrows in his body, and roared angrily.

"Let me show you what the faith in the God of the North is like!"

At this moment, Anai Ning fell into the midst of the battle.

“You guys are really good at bullying people,” she said, gripping her knife firmly and lowering her body to look at the gods. “Then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Boom——!
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept across the battlefield, spreading for hundreds of meters.

"What is that?!"

The general of the western border watched as the white light barely slashed past his side, leaving deep fissures hundreds of meters long along the ground. A tall temple general walked expressionlessly in that direction.

At this time, the Manse Plain is directly north.

Seeing the Temple Army step onto the front lines, replacing the routed Western Frontier Army as the main force, two figures stood alone on the plain.

"almost."

Through Minnie's eyes, the situation on the battlefield was seen; Rowe stood in the wind, clad in a jet-black cloak.

Vimir nodded vigorously: "Leave it to me!"

They were positioned to the north of the Temple Army and Lucas's Army, and there were only the two of them, so no one paid them any attention.

After chanting the incantation, Vimir gripped her staff tightly, then faced the direction of the 50,000-strong army and planted the staff heavily into the ground.

bang——

A holy blue light curtain unfolded on the spot, reaching a height of tens of meters, and continued to extend to both sides.

The right-wing troops noticed the anomaly immediately, or rather, it would have been difficult for them not to notice, because in just a few seconds, the light barrier expanded to a width of several hundred meters.

"what is that??"

Before they could figure out what was going on, or why there was such a thing in a place that the scouts had already explored, they heard a sound that seemed vaguely familiar.

The sound of horses' hooves.

The sound of warhorses' hooves!
Before they could react, heavy cavalrymen wearing dawn helmets and wielding swords and spears burst through the light barrier, their hooves pounding the grass as they galloped.

The paladin, clad in golden armor, raised his sword high on horseback: "For the Holy Light of Dawn!!"

The cavalrymen shouted in unison, "For the Holy Light of Dawn!!"

The man wielded his sword bravely forward.

"Dawn Cavalry Regiment—Charge!!"

A mighty cavalry force suddenly appeared on the right flank of the army. The fear of being routed once before immediately surfaced on the faces of the Western Knights. They still couldn't understand why the Fifth Princess, who had always avoided battle, had suddenly become so willing to fight. Was everything before just a bluff?
Impossible! This is absolutely impossible.

But the cavalry gave them no time to think, tucked their swords and spears under their arms, and charged into the knights' ranks with their protection.

In the battle formation ahead, the third-level god of the Temple of War, who was fighting with Anai Ning, turned around and glanced back.

"Hmph, resorting to such tricks."

"You think you're so strong?" Anai Ning looked at him provocatively, her body already behind his neck. "So I'm the kind of opponent you can look away from."

"!!"

Meanwhile, Luo Wei had already begun a rapid retreat with Vimir towards the rear of the army formation.

With the help of wind magic, it took the two more than ten minutes to reach the location directly behind them, where Vimir summoned the large portal once again.

Seeing the sudden appearance of blue holy light behind them, the deities in the temple high above frowned. Here we go again.

how is this possible.

Such a large teleportation array cannot be maintained without the spellcasting rituals of hundreds of people, not to mention that each passage would put a burden on the spellcaster's magic power.

Where did they get so many spellcasters, and why didn't they notice the ambush there before?
Upon witnessing this moment, the troops in the rear immediately turned around. They had no idea what was happening on the right flank. Without information relay, a force of 50,000 men would not know anything about other places. The troops lagging behind were mostly mercenaries and militia, whose combat strength was far inferior to that of the knights.

Nasusha stepped through the portal within the light curtain.

She stood atop a golden chariot, waving her hand powerfully forward: "Warriors of Enolifanakhan! Let them taste the power of the Golden Kingdom's chariot!!"

Behind her, countless chariots charged out of the light barrier in formation, rushing towards the rear of the western border with overwhelming force.

Upon receiving the news, Lucas gripped his sword hilt in anger.

How dare you try to play these tricks on me!?

After a moment's thought, he ordered without hesitation: "Prioritize annihilating the cavalry on the right flank. Ignore the rear for now. Aim the magic cannons at the troops charging out from the city gate and rout them all!"

Scarlett, who was standing nearby, reminded him after hearing this, "What if the left wing also has a teleportation array later? Shouldn't we make some precautionary plans?"

“Hmph,” Lucas scoffed disdainfully, “Do you think I don’t have intelligence on their forces? Their army has basically already shown up. The intelligence that has been sent over is enough to number around 20,000, most of them on the front lines. Their main force has also appeared. Do they think they can attack my left flank with just the Duchy of Red Eagle?”

"But……"

At that moment, the temple general standing next to him noticed something and turned in that direction.

"Second Prince, leave the arrangements for the left wing to us."

Without saying a word, the general led a dozen or so divine beings and rushed over. Scarlett glanced at them intently, feeling a sense of foreboding.

At this moment, battles were raging on all sides. The magic cannons of both sides were firing at each other, and arrows, more flamboyant than spears, kept falling from the high walls. The main forces at the front seemed to be locked in fierce fighting.

But apart from the inexplicable beams of light that kept appearing before, and the chains of starry sky that covered the city walls, where were the other high-end combat forces in the enemy's army?

Where is Loewy Brook?
If he was there, and if that large teleportation array was also related to him, why didn't he take action?
This ominous premonition gave her a vague sense of unease.

Fifty thousand troops is no small number. Even in the central formation, it is difficult to see the enemy approaching from other directions, even if they are standing on the central high platform.

The Fifth Princess made a very decisive choice.

If there are enemy troops on the left wing as well, surrounding us on all sides like this... what exactly are they trying to do?
