Chapter 96: Invade the Golden City!

The location of the Morning Cathedral is in the real capital of England, which is called the 'City of Gold'!
This city, like the Darkmoon Cathedral, is built against the mountains.

The entire city, from the foot of the mountain to the top, is lined with buildings and well organized.

All the buildings in the city are built with golden bricks and stones. When the sun rises, the morning sunlight shines on the city, and the whole city seems to be shining with golden light.

The name of the Golden City comes from this.

This was recorded in the history books that Deya had read.

The Dawn Church defeated the Dark Moon Church and completely dominated the continental island religiously.

Inglo, the former commander of the First Legion of the Church of Dawn, became the king of the newly established kingdom, with the separation of religious power and royal power from the Church of Dawn itself.

The area that once belonged to the Dark Moon Church was established by the Second Legion Commander Susaytani, who established the Kingdom of Susaytani.

His mission is to eradicate the faith of the Dark Moon Church and let the light of dawn spread across the earth.

Initially, Susaitani was a vassal state of England.

But as time went by, more than two hundred years ago, huge contradictions arose between the royal power and theocracy in England, leading to a split.

The Pope at that time eliminated the British royal family and unified the political and religious powers.

It was also during the civil unrest in England that Susaitani and part of the diocese of the Church of Dawn became independent and no longer affiliated with England.

This was the first time Deya came to the Kingdom of Inglo, although it was Inglo seven hundred years ago.

The Golden City is majestic and magnificent. The sun's rays shine down, and the whole city is emitting shining golden light.

However, at this time the Golden City was filled with smoke, and the fear of war was shrouding the entire city.

The believers of the Dawn Church in the city prayed devoutly. Some people caused riots in the city out of fear, but they were quickly suppressed by the Dawn Church.

A huge magic shield covers the entire city, preventing the undead disaster from the outside world.

After leaving Yanshui City, Deya led the elite soldiers of the Scourge and the Dark Moon Church all the way to the Golden City.

On the way, they encountered only small-scale resistance.

Those troops of the Church of Dawn should be a part of the army that was attacking the Dark Moon Cathedral and was selected to come to the rescue.

And when that unit was devoured by the Undead Legion and the number of the Undead Legion expanded, the Dawn Church no longer sent more soldiers to rescue.

The Church of Dawn has discovered that a small group of troops cannot stop the Scourge at all, but will instead greatly increase the Scourge's strength.

In order to completely wipe out the Undead Scourge, all the troops that attacked the Darkmoon Cathedral need to return to support.

But the Dawn Church was reluctant to give up the opportunity to completely wipe out the Dark Moon Church.

They were also afraid that this was a plot by the Son of God, and that they were preparing to attack the Cathedral of Dawn in order to make them give up attacking the Dark Moon Church and save the church from danger.

In the end, the top leaders of the Church of Dawn made the same choice as Deya - change homes!
It depends on who takes over the other party’s headquarters first!

At the foot of the Golden City, a tall wooden tower was built by the soldiers of the Dark Moon Church.

The tower was a hundred meters high, and their Son of God stood on top of it, commanding the army to attack.

Deya's Dark Moon Cult uniform fluttered in the wind high in the sky. His right eye burned with a pale flame, blazing as he stared at the magnificent city ahead.

At the foot of the tower, five thousand elite Dark Moon Church soldiers formed a huge square formation, and a solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the battlefield.

Ahead, tens of thousands of undead legions gathered on a flat ground some distance away from the city wall, and the breath of death filled the earth.

"projection!!!"

"call out---"

"call out---"

"call out---"

Modified catapults, controlled by extraordinary people, threw shells at the Golden City.

The shells hit the magic shield outside the city, causing earth-shaking noises. Countless negative energy spread, polluting the source of magic.

Every time the catapult launched a projectile, the entire Golden City shook, causing the residents in the city to scream in fear.

After a round of projection, some extraordinary people quickly took out new corpses from the "wooden cart" and placed them in several huge negative energy pools on the battlefield.

When these corpses are thrown into the energy pool, their bodies will frantically absorb and compress negative energy.

Then the corpses were thrown out like cannonballs, and the aftermath of the explosion of each corpse was as terrifying as that of a modern howitzer.

Although the number of catapults was limited and they could not do the same as modern artillery battalions, their terrible power was still terrifying. This was a war that completely abandoned morality.

But war has never had any morality!

After three rounds of projection, the catapult rested and inspected, and the soldiers began to prepare new shells.

At this time, six bone dragons soared into the sky and flew above the Golden City, spewing dragon breath of ice, fire and lightning towards the city's protective shield.

After the bone dragon's magical energy is used up and it comes back to rest, the next round of catapult projection will continue.

This cycle has continued for three days and three nights.

"Heh, let me see how long your magic defense can last."

The pale flame in Deya's right eye burned fiercely, as if he was happy about the next life being devoured.

This kind of city-level magical defense requires a huge amount of resources.

Even if the Dawn Church had accumulated strength for many years, Deya believed that it would not be able to hold out for long under his endless attacks.

The evidence is that cracks have begun to appear on the magic shield covering the Golden City.

He has stored tens of thousands of corpses, and a forbidden artifact: the negative energy brought by transcending death is as endless as a perpetual motion machine.

If it comes to consumption, the years of accumulation of the Dawn Church cannot match his undead army.

……

At the highest point of the Golden City, the Cathedral of Dawn——

The Pope of the Church of Dawn stood on a white jade platform, which was the highest point in the city and allowed him to see everything outside the city.

Countless undead spirits stretched out like black clouds, and thousands of Dark Moon Church soldiers, holding torches in their hands, were ready to go at the rear of the army formation.

Corpse shells were fired one after another, and the bone dragon in the sky was also spewing out the light of dragon's breath.

The abominations standing at the forefront of the undead army were shaking their scythe-like hands, ready to move, waiting for the moment the magic shield shattered, and then tearing open the city gates.

"Your Majesty, the city's magical defenses will not last much longer."

Cardinal Garcia came up to the Pope and whispered.

"How is the battle going at Dark Moon Cathedral?"

"The Falcon Knights sent us news that the Dark Moon Cathedral's last line of defense is in danger under our full-scale attack."

"Then we will hold these undead here and let our brave warriors take down the Dark Moon Cathedral."

"But if this happens, the Golden City will probably fall as well."

Cardinal Garcia is worried.

Pope Chenxi said calmly: "There are always sacrifices in war, and the sacrifice begins with me.

Today, the earth is filled with the glory of the goddess. The Golden City can fall, but the goddess' sparks spread all over the earth will make the sun rise again.

But the moon has already set, and when the Dark Moon Cathedral is destroyed, there will no longer be any soil for the moon to rise.

Garcia, are you afraid of sacrifice? "

Cardinal Garcia said humbly: "I will stand with Your Majesty, under the gaze of the Goddess!"

at this time,

"Click————"

The magic shield covering the Golden City was broken.

Pope Dawn made a prompt decision: "Blow the horn, let the civilians hide and protect them. All the goddess's warriors raise their weapons. We will not surrender before death!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The sound of a horn resounding through the sky rang out in the Golden City.

From the sky came the continuous sound of wings and air vibration.

Six bone dragons carrying countless vulture corpses swooped down from the sky towards the Golden City, and thousands of arrows rained down upon them.

Tens of thousands of undead troops also began to advance, attacking the city walls under all kinds of crossbows, artillery fire, and magic!
