Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

Enemy attack? How can it be?

This was not only the adjutant's idea, but also Ursula's.

As the de facto leader of the Londinium City Defense Force at this stage, the place where Ursula is located can almost be said to be the most heavily guarded place in the entire Londinium except for the Shard. The supporting troops allow one-tenth of the entire mobile city's troops to be gathered here in a short period of time.

If you want to challenge this force head-on, even Victoria's most elite troops will have to spend at least two to three times their superior strength... This does not include the follow-up troops that can continue to reinforce during the stalemate, and the troops that can attack at any time. Here are the coordinates for precise shelling of the city defense cannon, a killer weapon!

——Who is it, what troops, and what brainless commander dare to come here to stroke the tiger's beard?

But all this is actually not important, because an attack that is enough to hit the core area of ​​​​the command headquarters shows the fact that the other party has sneaked into the vicinity silently. It is impossible for a large-scale march to move here secretly. Only the beheading operations of the special forces can achieve this level.

"No mess! Conduct personnel screening! Surround the troops that have sneaked in!"

Ursula dragged the adjutant's body and quickly ducked behind the desk not far away - it was at least a relatively safe bunker, and it would give her enough time to judge the nature and direction of the attack.

"Guns or crossbows?...No, that's not right."

The adjutant's body has begun to cool down, but the fatal wound on his neck is still bleeding gurglingly. However, apart from this, there are no ammunition for the musket, arrows for the crossbow... There seems to be no tool around to kill him accurately. , traces of remote attacks

……Origin stone skills?

Ursula narrowed her eyes: She didn't know how this spell worked, but if the enemy could really use this Source Stone skill at will, the lethality to ordinary soldiers would be very terrifying.

"cut——！"

Gritting her teeth with hatred, the female commander dropped her deputy's already completely cold body, jumped out of the table that served as a bunker, and then fell through the window.

The battlefield outside the entire building is in a mess

……Of course, chaos does not refer to the intensity of the battle between the two sides. In fact, purely in terms of casualties, this number is almost overwhelming.

The city defense army suffered a heavy death rate, but the opponent remained unscathed.

（——How can it be?! )

Ursula, who was frightened and angry, carefully looked at the invading enemy, trying to read some information from the opponent's dress.

……The invading troops showed no distinguishing features.

The dark armor seems to be similar to that of the inner guard, but it is not like the dress of the inner guard. The bright red cloak seems to have experienced a long period of wear and tear, and has been grayed out and dimmed by the war and gunpowder smoke. The mask of the same color as the armor covers the entire face. Covering it, there is no opening even for the eyes, as if blocking vision is one of the purposes of the mask.

At best, there were only about thirty troops, and the city defense troops besieging them numbered thousands. But even with such a disparity in numbers, it was actually the number of people who were really suppressed, beaten, or even killed. The city defense army is extremely dominant!

This is impossible - even if these thirty people are the Queen's Voice of Letania, Victoria's Gray Hat, no, even if they are thirty Ursus' inner guards!

The opponent's first shot was obviously aimed at her, but she escaped because of her intuition. Counting from then on, in this battle that lasted no more than ten minutes, the city defense troops under her command , the blood descendant who was armed to the teeth and blessed by the king, had left more than a hundred corpses at this moment.

The most terrifying thing is... they are obviously blessed existences, but most of the corpses have not even had time to turn into blood amber, or they were torn apart instantly and shattered into irreparable pieces of flesh and blood as soon as they turned into blood amber.

(What on earth is this Originium skill?!)

Ursula has seen clearly that the other party is also using a blood spell similar to that of the Great Lord - because of this, the extremely hard blood can be Po smashed it to prevent the resurrection of the blood descendants. However, why the blood demon clan showed up with such a powerful force and why they attacked here against the will of the Lord of the Royal Court is still puzzling.

(But...if that's the case...it's easy to handle）

""The Behemoth" is about to arrive, the Lord of the Blood Demons has returned, and everything will be over.

That man will not tolerate betrayal, especially if the betrayer is one of his own people - knowing full well how the Red Lord of the Blood Demons became the Blood Demon King Ursula of the court knew very well the thunderous methods of the Blood Demon Court.

(But now...cannot tolerate the increase in casualties...)

Seeing that the mysterious army is still advancing layer by layer, Ursula knew , the opponent's offensive must be contained, otherwise the chaos will further expand. Even if the lethality of the thirty or so people themselves is very limited, this is the headquarters of the city defense army. Any chaos will become a factor of instability, and even provide a warning for potential enemies. An opportunity to take advantage of

——Like everyone else on the Military Council, Ursula considered the Self-Rescue Forces, the Resistance Forces, and Rhode Island to be enemies, and never really considered the Deep Pond to be a friendly force.

"Heavy soldiers come forward! Stop the attackers!"

Ursula glanced at the device behind her, and then waved her hand violently.

"——Activate the Blood Calling Altar! Flagellants, prepare to strike!"
