"Roar!!!"

The two dragons, with bloodshot eyes, charged forward while spitting out dragon flames, and rushed into the shadowy golden sun together. Their entire bodies were entangled with shadows and golden flames, dragging brilliant tail flames in the air. They charged at each other again and again, turning, chasing, circling, biting, and roaring! It was like a bloody dance of fighting to the death!

When the battle was at its fiercest, the two giant dragons collided violently in the air, wrestled with each other, and kept biting each other's dark purple dragon scales. The strong wind raised by their wings tore through the clouds in the sky, knocked away the griffin and Pegasus, and the sound of their tails whipping the dragon scales was as deafening as thunder!

For a moment, a ferocious deep purple blood rain fell from the sky, and the blood of the giant dragon dripped from the sky, making the war look even more terrifying!

Ryan frowned. After several fights, she had already judged the strength of the captain: the opponent was not as strong as herself, but that dragon was a little stronger than her shadow dragon.

After the two giant dragons crossed each other again, she suddenly untied the leather belt that bound her to the dragon saddle, flapped her six inky black wings, and soared into the sky, like a black lightning, rushing directly towards Hepans' back.

Her flying speed was so fast that it surpassed the golden dragon, quickly closing the distance between the two of them, and after a few seconds she flew to the dragon's tail.

Hepans heard the sound of wings flapping, turned around in disbelief, and looked back to find that the Lord of the First Legion had already flown onto the dragon's back! In order to maintain her balance, she was tied tightly to the dragon saddle with a belt like the other flying knights, and was unable to turn around to fight. It was too late to untie the belt now!

In air combat, whoever has wings has dominant combat power.

By the time Hepans untied the belts on her legs and prepared to stand up to fight, Ryan had already flown behind her. The lion's giant sword, burning with flames, pierced deeply into Hepans' back. The high-temperature divine fire melted the chain mail into boiling iron. The enchanted sword tore through her back and pierced her chest with a devastating force.

The burning sword blade, stained with blood and internal organs, pierced through her smooth jade-like back and her proudly erect left breast. Ryan exerted a little force, and Hepans's entire fragile body was hung on the sword and held high by her! It was like a large banner of flesh and blood, fluttering in the air!

Scarlet blood gushed out from her rosy lips, and her pupils dilated.

"Fall, Grand Commander."

Ryan said coldly, not angry for the fallen Deathwing veterans, nor ecstatic for his own impressive achievements. Seeing that the Grand Commander who was pierced by the giant sword was not only alive, but also trying to resist, she kicked the dragon scales with her slender and agile legs, and rushed out of the dragon's back like an arrow with Hepansi, who was pierced by the giant sword in the chest. The six black wings retracted, and the whole person swooped down from the sky like a meteor! The armor rubbed against the air, making a creepy screaming sound, like the scream of a banshee taking souls!

"boom!!!"

Amid a deafening roar, Hepansi, who was pierced by the giant sword, was thrown to the ground by Ryan from a height of hundreds of meters. She fell so fast that the wind pressure made her unable to move even a finger, and she was unable to save herself at all. A huge crater was smashed on the ground, and smoke, dust and soil were thrown into the sky several meters high by the shock wave! After piercing her delicate body, the giant sword pierced deeply into the ground, nailing her to the blood-stained ground!

Ryan, who accomplished all this, stretched out his six angel wings again the moment he hit the ground. He was like a dark demon, floating in the air surrounded by dust and blood, and pulled out the second lion giant sword from the dimensional bag. The dark figure oppressed the nerves of the Christian Alliance like a nightmare.

"Cough, cough."

Hepan suffered two fatal blows in succession

Si was not dead yet. After her brain hit the ground, her entire consciousness fell into dizziness. Some fragmented memories emerged in her memory. She seemed to be fighting against the British in Orleans, crowning a man as king in Reims, and being captured in Compiègne. In the flames, her eyes gradually became dark, just like now...

Ryan looked at the dying Hepans, raised the giant sword in his hand high, and aimed it at her neck, but at this critical moment, Aenarion, who had cast a full set of defensive magic for himself, directly turned on the demon transformation! He stood in front of Hepans in the form of a demon, using six arms and six giant swords to barely block the opponent's understated attack.

Even this casual swing of the sword made Inarion feel his six arms numb and he was unable to support himself!

"Archbishop! Where are your three Thunder Warriors? The enemy's legion commander is coming! Why are you hiding?"

Aenarion's six arms trembled and he clenched his teeth. The archbishop from Rome hurriedly raised the Bible and chanted and prayed. Three magnificent metal golems, covered with religious murals and reliefs, came from afar with heavy steps!

Chapter 191: A Sword Superman

Llane looked at Aenarion calmly, as if he was looking at a tiny insect. The greatsword in his hand was like black thunder, whistling in the air and slashing down, coming straight at his head, forcing Aenarion to raise all six arms to resist this astonishingly powerful sword.

But, that was just a feint. The pitch-black lion sword drew an incredible trajectory in the air, and suddenly changed from slashing in the air to sweeping to the left. The sharp blade tore through the air and whistled towards him. Aenarion had no doubt that this terrifying sword could cut him in half!

"clang!!!"

At the critical moment, Aenarion quickly cast a [Wings of Shelter], which forced the damage to be invalidated once every six seconds. The skeleton giant burning with purple flames suddenly grew a pair of purple flame wings to block this powerful attack for himself.

Lion had a blank expression on his face. He held the hilt tightly with both hands, letting the black sword wrapped in holy golden flames spin wildly above his head like a windmill. It turned to Aenarion's right side almost instantly, and swept across again! With the blessing of Slaanesh's charm defense and the dodge training of the demon hunter, Aenarion's reaction speed was beyond ordinary people, and he narrowly avoided the opponent's sharp edge.

But in the next moment, the creepy black sword turned to the left like a windmill, and then to the right. The black sword burning with golden flames, like a windmill, rotated and swept five times in one second, drawing a series of death tracks burning with golden flames in the air!

Aenarion tensed his nerves, blocked it once with his Wings of Refuge, dodged it twice in a row, and narrowly blocked it once with the help of the psychic armor and Slaanesh flames covering the skeleton.

But this was already the limit. The Lord of the First Legion's attack frequency was frighteningly fast. The fifth sweep within one second actually hit Aenarion.

In an instant, half of the damage on the black sword was shared by [Damage Sharing] to the Leopard Woman in the distance. The leopard howled and vomited blood. Its elegant body fell limply to the ground, waiting for the treatment and rebirth of Slave's Blessing. Half of the damage was enough to kill it instantly.

The other half of the damage was so powerful that it directly defeated the Ghost Flame Bones, smashing them, and making Aenarion spit out blood like a light and fragile object, flying backwards! He fell heavily on the ground several meters away.

"call--"

Ryan took a breath and unconsciously smashed the sword to the ground to relieve the fatigue of her arms. She didn't expect the insect's defense to be so strong that she had to use five windmill swords in one second to break the defense.

But these two seconds of buffer gave the Archbishop enough time. Three golden lightning bolts, accompanied by a terrifying roar, fell from the clear sky and exploded on her body! Three magnificent steel giants silently walked out of the brilliant arc, wielding the serrated swords in their right hands and the poisonous gas bombs in their left hands, and killed the Lord of the First Legion!

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Ryan once again raised the pitch-black lion sword and blocked the attacks of three thunder warriors in succession at an incredible speed. The bombardment of handfuls of corrosive green poisonous gas seemed to have no effect on the paladin. While defending herself, she even had time to chop a thunder warrior's head with a knife, however, it only left a small dent on the body forged from pure gold.

The Lord of the First Legion had an expressionless face, and her six wings flapped open, and she instantly flew away from the heads of the three Thunder Warriors. She held the sword in both hands, high above her head, muttering something, calling for the blessing of Allah. A solemn and strong aura emanated from the surroundings, and the blade released a dazzling holy light, illuminating the entire bastion battlefield.

Instantly, the golden holy flame burning on her sword blade burst into flames, and the raging wind entangled the golden and magnificent sacred fire, entwined around her black sword, and turned into a magnificent golden flame column, rushing straight into the sky! The sparks of fire that broke away from the flame column were like gorgeous golden fireworks, splashing in all directions, flying and shining in every inch of the blue sky. The wind blew her black wings and golden long hair all over the sky, and her pair of beautiful eyes as green as the forest were cold and without a trace of emotion.

The Holy Knight's Holy Slash! And he was just one step away from

The legendary Holy Slash!!!

The Lord of the First Legion retracted his wings, brandished the black sword wrapped in a sky-covering flame column, and swooped down once again. The black sword dragged the blazing flame column that connected the sky and the earth and swept it across, blasting out the raging storm and sky-covering flames wrapped around the blade. Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, a devastating golden flame explosion was triggered on the skull of a thunder warrior!

The surging and terrifying golden flames instantly engulfed the Thunder Warrior. The burning pillar of fire once again shot straight into the sky in the impact of the explosion. From a distance, it seemed as if there was a golden pillar of flame connected to heaven inside the Delphi Castle. The sacred and magnificent flames were so dazzling that people within a radius of hundreds of meters could not open their eyes at all! The strong wind generated by the explosion tore the surface of the earth, blew away the soldiers, and razed the land within a radius of dozens of meters to the ground.

The golden light dissipated, the holy fire went out, and the head of a thunder warrior was chopped off by the black sword of the Lord of the First Legion. His entire metal body burned and melted in the power of the sword, and the red-hot molten iron flowed weakly down along his huge body.

Ryan took a breath, as if the attack just now was also a huge burden on her, but the next second, the sacred and terrifying golden pillar of fire once again shot straight into the sky from the tip of her sword!

Can this thing fire in bursts?

The Archbishop's face changed, and he hurriedly ordered the two Thunder Warriors to enter a defensive state. At the same time, he quickly cast a healing spell to heal Hepans's injuries. At this moment, the blind lich of Venice also floated over in fear. This was already the top combat power of the Christian coalition.

This legion commander is a bit scary. Rhodes Island has been fighting with the 13th Legion entrenched in Izmir, the largest port of the Ottoman Empire, for many years. Their legion commander Robert Pasha is not strong. Hepans can compete with him alone and sometimes even have the upper hand. How can the leader of the First Legion be so terrifying? Can the gap between legion commanders be so big?

After everyone arrived, only twelve seconds had passed. They were very fast, but Ryan was even faster! He had already used the second Holy Slash to blow up the second Thunder Warrior! The terrifying explosion wind was wrapped in golden raging flames, and the torn dust and ground, blowing everyone's waists straight! The two Holy Slashes were like two golden suns detonated above Delphi Castle!

Hepansi struggled to get up from the ground. The Archbishop drew his sword and treated her at the same time, and finally pulled her back from the gate of heaven. This leader of the First Legion was really terrible. According to the previous battle report, she seriously injured Skander with one sword, killed Hepansi with one sword, and blew up the Thunder Warrior with one sword! What Osman is a superman with one sword.

Chapter 192: Reality and Falsehood

Ryan looked around. In the sky, his shadow dragon was injured by a golden dragon and retreated temporarily. The coalition forces of Christ's Pegasus Knights, Chimera Beasts, and Archers were gradually defeated by the golden dragons. His other air force: the Raven Wings composed of Slavic beastmen had no armor and were good at lightning surprise attacks. This kind of frontal attack was tantamount to seeking death, so he did not issue an attack order.

On the ground, Dreadwing's artillery magic still couldn't break the bastion's defenses, and Hurricanewing's huge heavy-armored army was still fighting hard with the defenders on every inch of the city wall, repeatedly fighting for every section of the city wall. Although they were winning victory after victory here, none of their own soldiers could rush to support them.

Forget it. I've finally flown in under the fire. I'll find a way to kill all their top brass, leaving them leaderless, and then order the army to launch a full-scale attack!

"Sacrifice the blood of Christ! Sacrifice the head of Jesus!!!"

Hepans roared as she used the power of the Heavenly Guard. She suddenly raised her left hand, and in an instant, beams of magnificent holy fire from heaven transformed into six flaming spears that poured down like a rainstorm. With the power of [Surge of Divine Power], she cast six instantaneous divine spells in one second.

The Lich Governor of Venice raised his elderberry staff, assisted by the splitting super magic, and two violent and hot emerald green beams, entangled with countless green lightning, whistling and tearing through the sky, and exploded in front of her.

The two Golgons opened their mouths at the same time, accumulating terrifying dark green and peach pink energy balls and blasting forward together.

The only remaining Thunder Warrior also swung the terrifying serrated blade in his hand and slashed down in the air.

And Aenarion also used his psychic power to make his six swords float in the sky, tearing through the sky like meteors and flying towards it!

However, the strength of the Paladin does not come from his offensive power, but from his strong defensive ability.

Among all professions, the health of a paladin is second only to that of a barbarian, but a barbarian needs to move nimbly and cannot be equipped with heavy armor, while a paladin can be equipped with plate armor with the highest protective ability and stroll on the battlefield.

With such strong physical defense, the magic resistance is not much behind. The poison immunity makes it impossible for Gorgon to use the petrifying plague. The Paladin's [Divine Grace] ability can add his own charm to all immunity checks against magic, resulting in the Paladin's magic defense being surprisingly high. If he can get a piece of equipment with magic resistance, then a spell will need to penetrate the spell resistance first and then break the Paladin's terrifyingly high magic immunity.

The lacquered black armor of Lion, which was made of emeralds, jade, enamel, and decorated with a large number of forest and vine patterns, had a full 33 points of spell resistance. The lich's death finger and Hepans's holy fire bombardment were unable to tear and break her magic defense. Aenarion

The mind-controlled flying sword hit the plate armor with a clanging sound, sparks flew everywhere, and not even a white mark was left.

She nimbly dodged the terrifying attack from the Thunder Warrior, but her serrated sword still left terrifying spider-web-like cracks on the solid ground.

"Is this all you have?"

The female knight raised the black sword in her hand and used the Holy Slash for the third time. The golden storm and blazing waves of fire that covered the sky once again rose into the sky from her pitch-black blade!

However, such a strong defense is not without weaknesses. There are some spells that do not require magic resistance and spell immunity.

Aenarion instantly used Death Grip, and his huge hand burning with purple flames suddenly grabbed Llane's body and pulled her to his side. The Lord of the First Legion was caught off guard, and the Holy Slash deviated from its direction and did not hit the last Thunder Warrior, but hit Aenarion instead. The dazzling flames instantly devoured him.

The flames dissipated, the golden light disappeared, and Aenarion did not suffer any damage. With the wings of protection, he forcibly blocked the damage!

Ryan frowned. At this moment, the attacks from others also came over. The Thunder Warrior swung a giant sword that was powerful enough to break gold and shatter rocks, and smashed it down on his head, forcing Ryan to raise his sword to block.

The lich also reacted to the powerful magical defense of the paladin, used telekinesis, to tear the ground apart, and used magic to pull out a huge rock and soil weighing three or four hundred kilograms from the earth, which floated in the air. It smashed directly over like a meteorite, destroying the opponent's terrifyingly high defense with physical blunt force.

Hepans wielded the spear embroidered with the battle flag of Jesus with both hands, and instead of attacking the armor, she attacked Ryan's black wings that were not protected by armor.

Ryan frowned and turned back to human form from the half-beast state. After the six wings disappeared, her only weakness was exposed - in order to fly, the back of her plate armor was hollowed out, revealing her smooth white back like jade. When dodging the boulders, she was not careful and was cut by the spear on her back, leaving a bloody scratch.

But the next second, the scar was restored to its original state in the sacred and magnificent golden light.

Not only does the Paladin have extremely high physical and magical defense, but he also possesses very terrifying healing abilities, making him an almost omnipotent hexagonal warrior.

However, in the midst of the continuous beating by the crowd, even a strong man like the Lord of the First Legion felt something was wrong - Astariel rushed over and used the Volume of All Magic to cast a buff spell on everyone, and Artemisia stepped on the Triple Slaanesh Halo, increasing everyone's attack speed and movement speed.

With everyone's cooperation, her attacks gradually began to become ineffective.

The Lord of the First Legion has two attack modes, either the Holy Slash which is very slow but has great destructive power, or the Sword Dance which is extremely fast but has weak attack power.

However, the charge of the Holy Slash's attack is very obvious, and there is a six-second interval between each two Holy Slashes, which is the same as the interval between two Wings of Shelter.

If she dared to raise the holy sword, Aenarion would pull her in front of him with the Grip of Death, and use the Wings of Protection's ability to force immunity to one damage to forcibly block this terrifying divine attack.

But if she switched to a normal sword dance, the Thunder Warrior would charge forward with a roar, using his incredibly hard body to withstand the opponent's terrifying sword dance attack that was like a storm!

Under the tough resistance of the Thunder Warriors and Aenarion, the Lich Governor of Venice, the Grand Master of the Knights, and the two Gorgons finally had a chance to catch their breath in the suffocating death offensive of the Lord of the First Legion, and launched a frantic offensive. The Archbishop from Rome healed everyone's injuries in beams of brilliant and magnificent golden light. The several people cooperated more and more skillfully in the life-and-death battle, gradually reversed the situation, and fought back and forth with the girl with the advantage of numbers.

Not only that, two hundred heavily-armored soldiers also rushed over with roars, surrounding her. Dozens of spears hit her armor, causing sparks to fly and scratches to form on her snow-white back. Even if they could not break her defense or cause any injury, they could still use their numerical advantage to squeeze her and limit her space for movement.

Several muskets with bayonets also rushed over stealthily, firing from nowhere. Ten ogre zombies also rushed over with lead-spraying cannons, pointed the muzzles at Ryan's lion helmet and lit the fuse. The sky was filled with iron filings and iron sand, and the shock wave of the explosion directly blew him back three steps.

Ryan's face was gloomy. More and more soldiers and strong men rushed over to besiege him. Even several 12-pound stone cannons adjusted their muzzles and aimed at his body. Even if he could hold on for five minutes and activate the 12-second invincible Holy Shield again, Hepans could also activate the Holy Shield to stop him! In the sky, the Death Wing troops were also entangled and could not come down to reinforce.

That damn Aenarion was as weak as an ant, but as tough as a turtle! His decapitation plan almost failed, like a chicken rib, tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

After fighting for a while, when his most Holy Slash was blocked by Aenarion's Wings of Protection, the Lord of the First Legion completely lost his patience, swung his greatsword and used sword dance to force everyone back. Six black wings stretched out again, flew high into the sky, and retreated with the remaining 270 or so Deathwing veterans, announcing the failure of this offensive.

Their retreat was originally intended as bait. The Hurricane Wing troops that were attacking the city head-on had no target and gradually retreated following their legion leader.

"

Look! The Lord of the First Legion, the Ottoman War Marshal, has fled with his tail between his legs!!! The Ottoman Empire and the Janissaries are not invincible! Our army has won! Our army has won!!!"

Aenarion seized this opportunity, holding high his double-headed eagle flag and making a night attack, roaring loudly and inspiring the army! He publicized the news of his own victory over the Ottoman warlord throughout the castle, the entire Athens territory, and even the entire Aegean world, using Lion's retreat to inspire and boost his own morale and undermine the First Legion's confidence in capturing the bastion.

Since the failure of this decapitation operation, the First Legion has never launched another attack. Instead, Terrorwing's artillery was divided into multiple batches, bombarding the walls of the bastion day and night, and trying to send mages to destroy the defenses with magic. No matter how strong this thing is, it will collapse one day.

Aenarion also organized manpower and soldiers to repair the fortress. The Lich Governor of Venice brought his undead servants to set up a magic detection barrier in front of the building, which could sense anyone casting a spell: Little-known fact: the range of most spells is almost the same as that of a musket, or even shorter, and the range of almost all spells is not as good as that of a cannon.

As long as the lich detected that a mage dared to approach, the Athenian defenders would immediately launch a terrifying volley of gunfire, defeating the enemy's quality with quantity.

In this way, the two sides were deadlocked in the Delphi Fortress, and on the tenth day, Aenarion suddenly received news - Martinon Fortress was attacked! The Lord of the First Legion led the army to attack another fortress in the Thessaly Basin leading to Athens! The offensive was extremely swift! The local defenders could not resist! An urgent letter seeking help!

Aenarion was stunned when he received the news. He didn't see the enemy moving troops? The Warmaster's banner was flying in the camp outside the Delphic Castle. All the Dreadwings and all the cannons were still bombarding the Delphic Castle day and night! All the defenders were almost deafened by the sound of the artillery.

Did Ryan go quietly and launch a surprise attack on Fort Martinon?

Or did she send out a small force to feint an attack on Fort Martinon, hoping to trick me into sending a large force to rescue her, and then suddenly launch an attack on Fort Delphi with her own Dreadwing artillery? ? ?

Chapter 193: The Spy Network

Just as Aenarion and a group of Christian generals were in doubt, a secret letter tied to an arrow was shot over from the Dark Angels' camp outside the city. Zahariel, the second fallen angel after Luther, who was not valued by the Legion for his martial arts skills and was still a company commander, directly leaked all of Lion's tactical deployment to Aenarion as a token of his allegiance.

Aenarion hurriedly opened the letter and finally learned of Lion's strategic deployment.

"The commander did not leave Fort Delphi. She has been staying in the artillery position of the Dreadwing. The one attacking Fort Martinon is a stand-in, as well as ten companies of Steelwing troops and ten companies of Hurricanewing troops, a total of two thousand Janissaries. The leader is the commander's stand-in. As long as you mobilize the army and the elite to defend Martinon, the commander will launch a general attack on Delphi."

Aenarion breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he knew where Lion was, it would be easier.

There are two steep mountain passes leading south from the Thessaly Basin to Athens. One is through Pharsalus and goes to Delphi, which is the current route that has been blocked by himself.

Another route is to go from Larissa to Martinon, but this route is generally not chosen because it is too long. The length of the mountain road is almost ten times that of the previous route. There are mountains, cliffs, and sulfur volcanoes along the way. The famous Thermopylae is stuck on this road. The difficulty of transporting food and supplies will be more than ten times greater with a ten times more steep mountain road!

The second reason is that almost half of the route is along the coast, which is completely exposed to the fleet's artillery range.

This is also the reason why all the Christian leaders were blocking the Delphi Castle. They did not believe that the enemy's main force would dare to take the Thermopylae route to attack Martinon. Only Aenarion's third and fourth regiments and a small number of artillery were left in Martinon. The top combat force was only the Demon Hunter, Soul Eater Allari.

Aenarion quickly adjusted his deployment, transferring the Venetian navy to the sea to replace his own navy and carry out harassment and looting missions, burning Ottoman farmland, looting their villages, bombarding the Janissary monasteries, and tying down the Sixth Legion that was not good at naval warfare, pinning the Iskandar Dire Wolves firmly in the north, preventing them from coming south for support.

All four of their own caravels were transferred to the mountain road of Thermopylae and bombarded their logistical support force, Martinon, which was blocked at the mountain pass. This feint attack force of 2,000 people relied entirely on supplies from the rear. As long as the mountain road was blown up and their logistics were cut off, these 2,000 people would retreat on their own.

But that would take time. Aenarion didn't dare to leave. Only by constantly switching between himself and the Thunder Warrior could they barely hold off Lion's terrifying attack. If one of them left, the King of the Seraphs would rush in to carry out the decapitation plan, and he would be killed with one sword.

There was no other way. Aenarion could only pin his hopes on the local defenders and tell them that the enemy's attack would not last for a few days. As long as the two thousand men could rely on the advantage of the bastion and defend against the offensive of the two thousand Janissaries for three or four days, the enemy would surely leave on their own due to lack of food!

Under Aenarion's prayer, the war of Martinon broke out. They had no artillery, no heavy siege weapons, but they had Iskandar the Dire Wolf and ten rune priests who supported them.

That is their internal name, the more common name is druid.

Ten rune priests wearing white wolf skins, with blue runes painted all over their pale skin, and with a large number of wolf fangs pierced through vines on their necks and wrists, walked in front of everyone in a dignified and solemn manner. They held Atkan scimitars in one hand and oak staffs in the other. With their old voices, ten oak seeds were buried in the land in front of the Martinon Fortress, and with the sound of their spells, they quickly sprouted and grew, and in just a few tens of seconds, they grew into ten strong oak trees six or seven meters high.

The next second, the ten oak trees' bumpy barks suddenly cracked into twenty huge cracks. In each crack, there was a frightening cold light flashing, like the pupils of ten wild beasts. Then, the bark under these eyes cracked again, turning into ten hideous bloody mouths! Thigh-thick tree roots pulled out from the ground, turning into wriggling wooden tentacles, and the leafy branches twisted and turned into lush arms. The ten oak trees were instantly transformed into ten tree men!
