Chapter 738: It was done by that man

Madeline was delighted to see Yingsi’s attack.

“You want to play magic?” she asked.

“Mr. Robb gave me armor that can even withstand the power of Thor’s roar. Can your Blessed Armor be stronger than Thor’s roar?” she continued, ignoring the Blessed Armor that covered the sky.

She stepped forward with her long sword and fiercely attacked Yingsi’s face.

Yingsi was surprised by her reckless attack. “Does this woman not care about her life? She dares to break through my blessing formation?”

He quickly held up his sword and blocked Madeline’s holy sword. At the same time, several Blessed Hammers attacked her, hitting her body.

Yingsi thought to himself, [With these hammers hitting her, I wonder how she can hold on.]

However, a white light suddenly appeared on Madeline’s body, which quickly expanded into a white shield. The Blessed Hammers were absorbed and disappeared without a trace.

Yingsi suddenly remembered a report from the Thunder Knights that he had received more than ten days ago, which stated that Madeline had a strange artifact that could resist Thor’s roar. He had not paid much attention to this report at that time, but now he realized that it was true.

He could not afford to be distracted in such a fierce battle.

Madeline’s holy sword emitted black energy which caused him to be injured despite his defense skills and shield.

Two white lion knights rushed over to protect Yingsi, but Madeline pushed them away. More white lion knights came and surrounded Yingsi, who was injured and retreating. They retreated into the city, and closed the gate.

Madeline could not attack the city at this time, as the enemy’s morale was still high, and their forces were strong. She knew that attacking now would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Driving back the White Lion Knights was already a great achievement.

Both knight troupes retreated, leaving only the mortar firing occasionally.

At this point, Mondra’s army dared not launch another counter-attack and could only take the bombardment passively.

Miss Queen saw that the defending army in the city had been bombarded to the point where they couldn’t even get on the city wall. It seemed that they had abandoned their defense formation. She thought it was a waste of bombs to continue shelling and ordered the troops to stop.

After the attack and defense, she felt that today was about enough and declared to retreat. The army retreated to the camp and watched the fear of being bombarded slowly dominate the people in the city from a distance.

That night, under the bright moon and stars, the soldiers in the West Gran camp were in high spirits. If alcohol was not prohibited in the barracks, countless people might have already been drunk on the ground.

But in the sober barracks, soldiers could only secretly enjoy themselves. On the other hand, there was a sense of sadness pervading the Capital of Saints. Everyone in the entire city was dominated by a pessimistic mood, and morale was low.

On the west city wall, a group of night patrol soldiers huddled together, quietly discussing, “Hey, the higher-ups sent us to guard the night. What if we’re guarding and suddenly a bomb falls right next to us?”

“It’s unlikely. We only have a few people here. Do you think our lives combined are worth a single piece of thorium?”

“Well, that’s true. Even if I were the enemy, I wouldn’t want to waste a piece of thorium just to kill us.”

The person next to him looked at him as if he were an idiot.

A few seconds later, someone sighed, “I’m afraid we can’t hold this city.”

“Yeah, during the day, the bombs kept falling from the sky. When the air force went out, they were wiped out. When the knights went out, they were beaten back. They couldn’t stop the enemy’s bombardment at all.”

“We didn’t even touch a single strand of the enemy’s hair, but our was completely destroyed by the bombing. What’s the point of this battle?”

The patrol soldiers shook their heads and sighed.

Someone whispered, “Do you know what? Many nobles are leaving the city at night through the east gate.”

“What? The nobles are running away?”

“Yes! I heard someone say that the enemy’s bombs can actually be thrown even further. They only bombed the area near the west wall to avoid hurting civilians. If the enemy wants to, they can throw bombs anywhere in the city at any time.”

“Our air force has been wiped out today, and tomorrow the enemy can even directly drop bombs using their air force without needing to use cannons to attack the city.”

Such conversations were not just happening in one place in the city. Almost all the barracks had soldiers whispering similar words.

Meanwhile, near the east gate of the Capital of Saints deliberately left open by Miss Queen, a large group of nobles were quietly leaving the city. Of course, leaving the city at this time was not giving face to Mondra, it was a clear betrayal, and it was likely to incur Mondra’s hatred. But at this point, who cared about what Mondra thought?

Even a fool could see that Mondra was already doomed.

Mondra sat in the palace, frowning in frustration. The injured Yingsi sat beside him while the Archbishop chanted healing spells to treat his wounds.

After several rounds of magic, Yingsi finally recovered and angrily cursed, “Damn Madeleine! I don’t know what kind of armor she was wearing, but it managed to absorb my Blessed Hammer!”

The Archbishop whispered, “That armor should be from the hands of that man in Westwind City. It’s not surprising that it has strange functions. Over the years, that man has repeatedly overturned our understanding with all kinds of nonsense. Now, the Kingdom of Norma is still worried about the warships he built, and the coastal cities are living in fear.”

Mondra furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, “So… the strange cylindrical device that can hurl magical objects from such a distance into our city must also be from that man’s hand, right?”

The Archbishop nodded, “It should be!”

“F***.” As the king, Mondra couldn’t help but curse, his aura of authority vanished, “That damn bastard.”

The Archbishop said, “It’s useless to curse him now. What we need to do is hold on. The main force of the Church of Light is on their way here. When they arrive, there will be nothing to fear.”
