717, the seventh stage of the war begins
After the sixth stage of the war, the exhausted Saint Andrew left the battlefield with the "Three Heavenly Kings".
The two sides temporarily ceased fire and entered the stage of counting casualties.
In this fierce exchange of fire, both sides paid a heavy price:
On the side of the Shan Cha army, their elite troops suffered heavy casualties.
The Shield Guards were almost completely destroyed;
Nearly half of the archer army was lost to Jaina's ultimate move;
The magician legion lost more than one-third, and its magic power was severely consumed, temporarily losing its combat effectiveness.
.
Sean's side was better, there were no casualties, but they were also very uncomfortable.
First of all, the magic power of the magician army headed by Khadgar is severely depleted. Like the magic army of the Shancha family, it is impossible to return to the battlefield in a short time;
Secondly, when the artillery ammunition is exhausted, the powerful artillery at the top of the city has completely become a display, and will temporarily or even permanently withdraw from the battlefield.
The most important thing is that their [Magic Shield] was broken!
In other words, the war will definitely enter the stage of close combat.
.
Sean calculated the gains and losses in his mind.
But he suddenly felt something falling quickly from above his head.
I looked up and saw that it was Gianna.
Jaina lost the support of her huge magic and mental strength, and she could not fly, so she could only slowly fall from the sky towards the ground.
Coincidentally, she landed right above Sean's head.
Sean raised his head, just in time to see some scenery he shouldn't have seen.
Ahem! Sean's old face turned red.
Then he jumped up and gently caught Jaina like a princess.
.
At this time, the surrounding soldiers and officers were also staring at Jaina fiercely.
Their eyes are full of admiration, admiration, adoration, love and other positive emotions.
Although Jaina is only in the middle rank of gold, she has already demonstrated extraordinary strength, powerful control over magic power, and unrivaled spellcasting ability!
And Gianna is very young.
I believe that in the near future, they will witness the birth of a sky-level powerhouse! Maybe even the Holy Domain!
Even Kevin Violet and the other three cast admiring glances.
Unexpectedly, Sean has such a talented magician hidden under his command!
The scene where Jaina tore apart space and summoned the Sea King just now shocked Kevin Violet, who had lived for seventy or eighty years.
I believe that it won’t be long before they can see another strong man shining like a comet appear in the history of the Principality!
Damn it! How did His Highness Sean recruit so many strong men?
.
Seeing the young, beautiful and powerful Gianna, Kevin Violet also had some thoughts.
If possible, he would like his grandchildren to propose to Gianna and make her his granddaughter-in-law.
But when I think about the strength of my grandchildren in their thirties and forties, with the strongest ones ranging from low gold to middle gold, I can only give up this idea for the time being.
.
Sean landed at the top of the city with Jaina in his arms, and gently placed her on the ground of the city wall.
Noticing that Gianna's expression seemed a little tangled, Sean asked softly: "What's wrong with you, Gianna?"
"It's okay, sir...it's just...I killed a lot of people."
Jaina's mood was a little unstable.
Just now, according to the plan, she summoned the "Sea King Power" to bombard the Shancha family's archer army, killing nearly a thousand people with more than twenty cannons.
This made Jaina, who had never killed anyone, feel extremely guilty.
Especially when I saw many people wailing for survival in the bombed areas, this feeling of guilt became even stronger.
Sean patted Gianna on the shoulder and comforted softly:
"It's okay, Jaina. We destroy our opponents on the battlefield to protect the wider people behind us from harm."
Sean pointed with his hand in the direction of the inner city:
"Once the Angevins occupy this city, countless people will die under their iron hoofs. We are fighting to protect the people! As we said during the meeting, our entire leadership has always firmly stood on the side of the people!
This position will never waver!"
After listening to Sean's words, Gianna felt a little better.
And she also looked back towards the inner city.
Many people in the city still had ardent expectations on their faces, and many even took their own food reserves and stockpiled materials to support the front line. They were indeed a group of people worth protecting.
"Sir, I will try my best to overcome the discomfort." Young Jaina replied solemnly.
"Very good!" Sean praised: "Your magic power consumption is relatively serious now, right? Go down and rest first, and then come to the front line when your strength is restored."
Sean said as he returned the [Activated Broom] that Jaina had just kicked away to her.
"Understood, sir."
Jaina said goodbye to Sean with a smile and walked away towards the center of the city.
.
.
The truce did not last long.
In less than half an hour, the seventh phase of the war begins!
The magic legions of both sides and Sean Fang's artillery troops all withdrew from the battlefield.
Without the means of large-scale attacks, both sides returned to the most primitive state of close combat with cold weapons.
On the city wall, Sean used a telescope to observe the enemy's situation.
The Shancha army pushed the remaining five siege towers, as well as a large number of battering rams, heavy catapults and other weapons and slowly pressed towards the city wall.
The brutal siege and attrition war is about to begin.
After watching for a while, Sean put down the telescope, sighed slightly, and looked at Khadgar beside him:
"Khadgar, how long will it take for you to recover your magic power? Can you return to the battlefield?"
Khadgar arrived at the city wall from the center of the city just ten minutes ago. He smiled bitterly:
"Sir, without restoring magic power day and night, we cannot provide any help in the war."
"Oh, one day and one night? It's really long."
Sean turned to look at Kevin Violet: "Kevin, then all the fighting will be left to you. We basically have no fighting power here."
Kevin Violet and other three sky-level powerhouses were full of gratitude to Sean.
If it weren't for the support from Sean's side, even if they opened the magic circle and activated the magic shield, they would probably have been destroyed by now.
Because they have no way to defeat the enemy's saints and magic legions.
But now Saint Andrew is seriously exhausted and has gone back to rest, and the magic legion cannot go to the battlefield for the time being.
This gave Kevin Violet a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope to keep Delphi!
No matter what, they must do their best to defend this city!
Chapter completed!
