They were the Posthumous people who had retreated, and some were evolved from Earth.
These people werenât allowed to participate as they werenât suitable for such high-intensity battles.
There were many reasons. Some were old, and their stamina couldnât allow them to fight for long. Some had disabilities and couldnât walk. Some had the job of educating the next generation and were living knowledge banks. Some were women and kids who were the hope of the Posthumous People.
Some of these Earthlings didnât have high levels but were good at ranged attacks. Because of their low levels, they couldnât fight here.
But these people completed a surprising attack.
This war was a life-and-death war. It was a crucial war to see if Cloud Peak could own a resource base that other factions couldnât have.
Everyone wanted to join in.
They werenât strong, but they had a strong desire to fight. They didnât fear death and were willing to sacrifice for the Imperial City.
After solemn discussions, Ye Zhongming and the kings devised a plan for them to do things at a certain moment.
Truth proved that these tens of thousands of people could do things that changed peopleâs opinions.
These people used bows or ranged skills to kill these elites, who charged into the Imperial City instantly.
This was their collective power.
Alone, they couldnât compare to the cavaliers. The gap was huge, such that one cavalier could kill hundreds of such people.
They fired arrows or used skills that might not even tickle the cavaliers.
But there were too many such attacks such that they couldnât dodge.
Tens of thousands against two thousand looked like a few dozen folds of difference. But one must know this wasnât a math question where each cavalier had to face a few dozen arrows. They didnât charge in a row, so the arrows didnât aim at each person.
These arrows and skills were like another army of cavaliers. Two groups clashed.
The final outcome was that both sides were badly injured and collapsed.
But Saint Light Hall sacrificed two thousand elites while the Posthumous People and Cloud Peak sacrificed tens of thousands of arrows and some skills.
Posthumous People achieved a complete victory, but this method couldnât be reused.
The Saint Light Hall Cavaliers would definitely focus on defense. They would send ranged troops to suppress the people within the city.
Once you were tangled, then these weak people who were even handicapped would be swiftly eaten.
After one attack, they retreated to Earth. Xia Lei was waiting at the space gate.
They would leave the rest to their allies.
Many people turned to look at the city and their allies before leaving.
The second Saint Light Cavalier squad charged in, followed by the third.
But at this point, as the Saint Light Hall air force was destroyed, the defensive weapons charged in directions and aimed at the forces outside of the city. Without worrying about the troops above, they could suppress the Saint Light Hall ranged forces. This caused huge losses for the charging cavaliers. đ
The Saintess looked at the Saint Hall warriors getting killed by crystal weapons and arrows. She held her staff, and her chest rose up and down. She was furious at their sacrifices.
She looked at the Saint Father and said anxiously, âSaint Father, we might need youâŠâ
Before she finished, he raised his hand to interrupt.
âAny war needs sacrifices. You need to learn how to fight without me. Not only fight, you need to win.â
Saint Fatherâs voice spread clearly into her ears.
âThe Posthumous People canât seal that hole. The outcome is decided. You donât need me; the kids can end this war alone.â
The Saint Father looked at the weapons on the walls firing and smiled coldly, âThat is their final stand.â
âButâŠâ She wanted to say something, but her absolute worship of the Saint Father meant she didnât continue. She also felt that the Saint Father was slightly unhappy because of her words.
She kept silent. When she saw the warriors that knelt before her being killed mercilessly, she was slighly lost.
Did they have to pay such a price for their goals? Couldnât they use other ways to prove their loyalty, which they had repeatedly proven?
Since victory was decided, couldnât they use a more straightforward method? Why did they have to use fresh blood?
The Saintess missed her mount. If that dragon was still here, she could charge onto the walls and burn the weird but powerful weapons the Earthlings brought.
âSaint Father, let us attack!â
The other two heads asked for permission. They felt that if they had a strong force charging into the city, they could quickly end the battle.
He kept silent for a moment before nodding.
The two heads waved to their subordinates and shifted toward the battlefield.
âSaint Father, I will go too!â
âYou stay!â
The Saintess was stopped. She was confused, but the Saint Father explained nothing to her.
The Saintess stood there and looked lonely.
The heavy infantry troops that the Posthumous People had prepared were finally put to use.
They didnât have any cavaliers. They werenât good at raising demon monsters on a large scale and were also very poor. Cavaliers were troops that spent the most money, so they didnât have the ability to do so.
They couldnât raise cavaliers, so all their troops were made up of infantry.
They were powerful infantry as long as they were given strong armor, a thick shield, and a spear.
Facing the Saint Light Hall cavaliers, this was the first time the Posthumous People infantry clashed with them.
Many people glanced. Both sides knew that this was the final barrier. If the infantry failed, then there was nothing that could stop the Saint Light Hall cavaliers.
