Chapter 744: Chapter 513, Queen’s Gold Tower_1
Clang! Clang! Clang!!
One after another, soldiers’ heads were covered by heavy gold blocks.
In their frantic struggle, some fell to the ground, never to rise again.
From the chaotic swings of their weapons, one could see the soldiers’ terror and desperation.
Even as their heads were engulfed, the outside world heard no cries for help.
The sudden crisis threw the twenty-thousand strong force into chaos.
The soldiers scattered, trying to avoid the gold liquid that was impossible to attack.
But even so, men kept falling one after another.
“Wha… what is that thing? Who dares attack Silver Wing City’s army?” Xu Haide’s voice shook with panic.
All along, the status of the Church’s saint had given him power and status.
Other transmigrators worried whether they could survive the next day.
But his life was better and more rewarding than ever before in the modern world.
With great power, a single decree deemed God’s will could render life or death for many.
He had always seen himself as the protagonist in this grandeur.
Others were simply supporting characters in his ascension to power.
Yet, witnessing the relentless deaths done in such a way and being utterly helpless, he was in a panic.
Death was so much closer than he thought.
“Saint, get down quickly, the carriage is too conspicuous.” An attendant from the temple quickly reminded him.
“Right, right!” Xu Haide quickly got off the carriage in a panic.
His feet stumbled, almost causing him to trip.
With the assistance of the attendant, he retreated further.
Only then did Xu Haide ask, “Who attacked the army, was it a mage?”
This type of attack was closer to a mage’s ability.
“It’s unclear,” the attendant replied, “The general is probably preparing a counterattack.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
As soon as the attendant finished speaking, numerous signal flares shot up from the rear.
The entire Cracked Stone Bridge lit up instantly.
All eyes then followed to the opposite side of the bridge, where a golden armored woman and a Bone Dragon, its body and head covered in gold, stood.
The only reason it was assumed to be a woman, was due to the height and the protrusion from the chest area.
“It’s the Undead, retreat! Archers, ready up, fire!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The disarrayed army began to act under the command.
The infantry began to retreat, no longer tangled with the flow of gold.
A barrage of arrows rained down on the woman on the opposite side of the bridge.
Clang! Clang! Clang!!
The Bone Dragon coiled around the golden armored woman.
The arrows ricocheted off the Bone Dragon’s golden armor, making a host of ding-ding sounds.
The golden armored woman didn’t evade, just stood in the center of the dragon’s coil, coldly observing the troops on the other side of the bridge.
Both sides held their gaze.
“Priests, bestow blessings, Knight Order prepare.” An authoritative command echoed.
The soldiers of the Church’s faction sprung into action.
The hulking knights of the Church, clad in heavy armor and wielding Judgment Longswords, stepped forward boldly.
The priests behind them began their incantations, rays of holy light blessing the knights.
Brilliant circles of light formed under their feet.
The knights of the Church wielded the power of light which naturally countered the undead forces.
The knights launched forward in a grand charge.
On the other side of the Cracked Stone Bridge, the Bone Dragon lumbered, its massive form shielding the golden-armored woman.
Its enormous head was aimed at the bridge, as it opened its jaw to unleash a column of dark light.
A destructive beam of dark energy engulfed several men on the bridge.
After barely struggling for a few seconds, they were reduced to skeletons, their flesh stripped away.
The scene in front of them did not halt the stride of the Knight Order.
With angry cries and curses against the dark creatures, they continued to charge ahead.
Arrows and magic rained down on the opposite side.
And the knights, bestowed with various energy enhancements, were closing in quickly.
The golden armored woman gently patted the neck of the Bone Dragon.
The Bone Dragon unhinged its body and knelt on the ground.
The woman mounted the dragon, and before the Knights could cross the stone bridge, the dragon was already in the sky.
The enormous dragon, covered in golden armor, circled once and then, swooped down, preparing to unleash its dragon breath.
The humans below frantically scattered, their formations no longer arrays of tight lines.
Arrows from below were aimed at the Bone Dragon, the priests’ holy incantations constantly shone above the dragon’s head.
The holy incantation of the Church was potent against the Undead.
A tenth-tier Bone Dragon could not be easily killed.
However, its body began to erode at a visible pace.
The downward plunge was curbed, the flow of its death breath missed its intended target.
It only managed to destroy the supply carriages and a number of soldiers.
Seeing that the ranged weapons behind were ready, and the Church’s priests and knights were also preparing for battle.
The airborne Amanda ceased any further entanglement.
She softly patted the Bone Dragon’s neck to circle in the air and spoke in a cold voice to those below, “Tell your Archbishop, I will level Silver Wing City with my army, turn all of you into my slaves, serving me tirelessly for eternity.”
Having said that, she didn’t wait for any reaction from the group below, and rode the Bone Dragon into the night sky.
It was a long as if waiting.
There were still no signs of an incoming enemy attack.
