775 Berserk Nailisi Part 1 (1/2)

The Holy See's attack on the south city lasted for an entire day. By the time evening came, both sides had already suffered heavy losses. Usually, the defending side would have the advantage, even if they had poorer soldiers because a twenty yard tall city wall was an obstacle that would be difficult for any army to overcome.

The soldiers of the Holy See were always able to continue fighting unless their limbs had been cut off or a huge hole had been blown open in their stomachs.

The alarm had already been sounded since morning and the reply they received was to hold the city and wait for reinforcements.

South city would already have fallen if not for the fact that they were facing the Holy See army. As long as the attacking side had enough soldiers, they would always be able to take the city sooner or later. Fortunately, the enmity between Qin and the Holy See had existed for the past ten-thousand years and the people of Bitter Water Prefecture born in Qin were no exception either.

As night fell, the attacks slowed down gradually and the armies in the main city began to gather.

Nailisi's demon army would lead the way while the two death mages were arranged in the middle of the five regiments of knights. There was a total of six-thousand men, including the death knights, that followed behind the demon army.

Behind the knights were the charioteers. Charioteers were practically non-existent ever since magic chariots became obsolete, so they were now just a type of foot soldier.

The charioteers' jobs was to protect the mages. Elemental mages were susceptible to attacks on the battlefield, mainly because of the white-robed mages' speed of reaction and defense abilities. Typically, grand mages would no longer be making any fatal mistakes. These charioteers would travel with the white-robed mages as forty huge chariots protected forty white-robed mages.

The role that these mages played was not insignificant as they had to continuously cast grade-0 and grade-1 spells, healing and boosting all the soldiers. Low-level mages were able to recover very quickly, their magic chords were short and small. The magic nuclei they used were also low-level ones, so they were much more valuable on the battlefield compared to heavy-armored knights and foot soldiers.

There were too little accompanying white-robed mages this time around, so their main tasks were to detoxify and dispel divine spells.

Spells could affect divine spells just as the latter could interfere the former. The forty white-robed mages' main responsibility was to dispel any divine spells that had been cast on the officers.

Behind the charioteers and chariots were the riding infantry. Most of these infantrymen had horses, but the speed and endurance of the horses could not be compared to those of the knights'. The riding infantry of Sanlian City usually had to seize the opportunity to ride. Typically, they rode on chariots as the paths in Qin were wide and convenient.

There were only fifteen-thousand riding infantry in total. Aside from the demon army and heavy-armored knights, the main city did not send any elite soldiers as there were still one-hundred-thousand enemies in the north and west that they needed to guard against.

The main forces of Tanggulasi were only more than fifty miles away from Sanlian City. If they were all determined to cross the river, they would be able to gather below the city walls within a day.

Nailisi did not care about the intentions of the human armies behind them. All she needed was a group of people that were able to help her collect the spoils of war, such as the enemies' armor, weapons, crossbows, and warhorses. Demons were not used to transporting items, they were only good at killing.

No matter what army the secretive campsite was hiding, one thing was for sure, there were a lot of logistical supplies hidden there. Nailisi had decided to snatch the supplies, simple as that.

On the city tower, a white-robed mage turned the hands of the magic clock to indicate an hour past midnight. A faint white light shone from the top of the city wall and the city gate opened slowly. Nailisi leapt from the city wall and landed on the ground.

The demons rushed out from the city gates that had been opened wide. When the soldiers of Bitter Water Prefecture saw the demon army, they felt a mixture of emotions. At that point, only mages would be able to speak without going against any military discipline. Fortunately, a grand mage spoke to the white-robed mage beside him, ”It has been tens of thousands of years since demons fought for humans to win over God's disciples. This is a good thing…”

”Your Excellency, you are right. When humans were at their strongest, even the giants fought for us. If only humans are able to go back to those times.”

The conversation between the two mages was especially enlightening amidst the silence on top of the city wall. The soldiers could listen even if they could not interrupt. It resonated to varying degrees for almost all of the soldiers.

The poets used to sing about demons and other even stranger creatures fighting for humans. Most ordinary humans had no idea that all of it was true. Now that the mages had spoken, the people of Bitter Water Prefecture had chosen to believe.

The mages would not lie. Those legends from the past were really true!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Of course, the gray-robed mage would never think of that out of the blue. He said what he said because the Marquis had asked him to. What he said would gradually spread within the armies and before long, the narrative would be prevalent throughout the entire Bitter Water Prefecture and even the Qin Empire.

Once such a narrative spread, it would be difficult to turn it around. The Marquis was extremely smart. After interacting with Nailisi, he began to think of how to execute this step by step.
