Harov and the others were not surprised by this, because the key lies in the second strike...

Hundreds of special projectiles that had been deflected exploded again. Under the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion, the fragments of the projectiles flew in all directions at a speed of more than two thousand meters per second.

The second and third rounds of electromagnetic cannons are ready to go.

The sound of gunfire continued to ring out, and after five minutes, the special ammunition was completely used up and finally stopped.

"Did you make it?"

Raphael hurriedly looked inside, and then a look of disappointment appeared on his face, because the towering walls of the holy city still blocked the way ahead.

However, many wizards noticed that the city wall had some more tiny dents than before, which obviously meant that their attacks were not completely ineffective.

Lin En nodded. This was the same as he guessed. The force field protection protecting the holy city was not like the gravitational field of the planet, which extended from the inside to the outside. Instead, it created a semi-circular shield of curved space-time in an area of ​​about 300 meters surrounding the holy city. The thickness of the shield was about ten meters. As long as they could break through this area, they could successfully launch an attack into it.

And what they just used was the advancement method.

First, an electromagnetic cannon is fired into it. At a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound, even if the flight trajectory is deviated due to the influence of the force field, it can still move forward for a distance. Then, with the impact of the second blast, it can move forward for another distance, followed by the third blast...

Relying on such a relay to break through the protection of the force field magic is the first solution given by Lin En.

Unfortunately, from an actual combat perspective, although it barely achieved the expected effect, after several explosions, its power was far from sufficient. After all, each explosion required the abandonment of most of its mass, and in the end only a slight mark was left on the city wall.

You should know that the city wall also has a projection of the Kingdom of God covering the entire city as a second line of defense.

"Sure enough, my new creation is still needed!" Vittorio said with a smile, and then asked someone to push up a behemoth over five meters high.

It was like a super-enlarged version of the electromagnetic railgun. Harof and Aurora had naturally noticed this big thing a long time ago, but Vittorio had always said that it was not finished yet. Even during the attack on the kingdom, he was still modifying this semi-finished product. He couldn't even guarantee that this thing could work, so he suppressed his curiosity.

At this point, Vittorio no longer intended to hide it and proudly introduced it to everyone.

"I call it the Sunfire Cannon. As long as it has enough nuclear fuel, it can release [End - Atomic Breath]!"

Upon hearing this, Harof's eyes suddenly lit up. He never expected that Vittorio could actually use alchemy to recreate this horrifying magic.

Even though these legendary wizards can cast [End - Atomic Breath], they don't even need nuclear fuel.

But the trouble is that their magic power and energy reserves are limited. Casting this magic consumes more than 70% of their magic power. It can be said that once used, their strength in the next battle will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Lin En was also a little surprised. He could only say that Vittorio was worthy of being the legendary alchemist with the title of "Magic Creator". It took him only a short time to create such a heavyweight thing based on the magic model he gave.

No wonder he was specifically asked before whether he had any materials that could temporarily withstand a nuclear explosion without being damaged.

"Then how many times can it be used?" Aurora asked a very crucial question.

"According to my estimation, it should be two or three times. It will require several great wizards to control it, and the power may be slightly weaker." Vittorio said thoughtfully.

The launching device of the Yangyan Cannon is made entirely of mithril and magic stone, and the core material is graphene.

If it weren't for this magical substance created by Lin En, he would never have been able to find anything that could withstand the power of a nuclear explosion.

Even so, after launching three attacks, the launch device will be severely deformed and damaged and can no longer be used.

"Three times? That should be enough!" Harov said admiringly.

The power of [End - Atomic Breath] is more concentrated than that of a large nuclear explosion. Although it will also be affected by force field magic and most of its power will be weakened, even the part of power that escapes can still cause considerable damage.

He didn't believe that the other party could sit still when the Holy City suffered a series of attacks.

If you are lucky enough to destroy the core of the magic array, you can directly destroy this protective magic.

Vittorio couldn't wait to control the Yangyan Cannon to fire a shot, but was stopped by Lynn.

"There's no need to waste it like this. Since the Yangyan Cannon can provide legendary-level magic support, it might be used in more critical places!" Lin En paused and continued. "As for how to break this turtle shell, I already have a more energy-efficient idea!"

"The defense of one place may be very weak. We can break through from there!"

"You mean..." Vittorio thought for a moment and quickly reacted.

Since it's not the sky or the four sides, it can only be underground!

"Sneak in from underground? That's a good idea." A smile appeared on Aurora's face. The force field magic set up by Ella herself could surround the entire city, but it could never be effective underground.

This is a point that is easily overlooked.

"No, it's too dangerous to sneak in. No one knows how many traps they have set for us in the holy city." Lin En shook his head, and then casually mentioned a horrifying method.

"I mean to explode a nuclear explosion underground and directly destroy the entire holy city!"

Underground nuclear explosion?

The wizards present all took a deep breath, but had to admit that this was indeed a good idea.

If a hole is blown directly underground in the city, most of the city will collapse directly. Naturally, no protective magic will be effective at that time!

"We'd better take action now, and let the artillery continue bombing to provide some cover!" Lynn shrugged.

It is not an easy task to dig into the underground of the holy city. The construction team may have to spend more than half a month. However, if a few legendary wizards dig by themselves, it won’t take long to make an underground passage that is suitable for one person to pass through!

In this way, only a few dozen kilograms of uranium-235 reserves would be consumed, and they would not need to actually take action to ensure that the holy city would be destroyed, which is very energy-saving.

Chapter 492: You shall rule the kingdom of heaven and be the right hand of God!

At noon, outside the holy city of Sekas Empire, which is known as the "paradise on earth" and the "place where stars shine", the sound of artillery fire continued, but inside it was unexpectedly quiet, or it would be more appropriate to describe it as dead silence.

Hundreds of thousands of devout believers lay unconscious in the streets and squares, with fanaticism on their faces, as if they had fallen into a sweet dream.

A few days ago, the Lord's messenger on earth, Pope Alvis, who is in charge of the church, held a grand prayer ceremony in the holy city.

Summon the people of the entire holy city to show their devout faith to the great Lord, tell them about the sufferings of this continent, and pray that the Lord will come to this land as soon as possible to punish the minions of the evil spirits and dispel the haze of doomsday.

The prayer ceremony undoubtedly went very smoothly. The Moon Goddess, the creator of all things, responded to their request, and the projection of heaven descended into the holy city.

Just as described in the Bible, all things were repeated, and the light shone on the earth. They saw the river flowing with fine wine, the sacred tree with branches full of cooked steaks, and the beautiful and charming dream elves...

As the most devout believers of the Lord, they have received the Lord's promise that they do not have to endure the sufferings of the end of the world, but can enter the true kingdom of God in advance and enjoy endless peace and joy.

After a day of revelry and enjoyment, the people in the holy city threw themselves into the arms of the Lord without hesitation, and their souls returned to heaven...

Cardinal Silide, who witnessed all this, felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

It was such a sacred thing worthy of celebration, but for some reason it reminded him of the scenes of sacrifices made by the evil gods.

No, this is the grace and gift of the Lord, and any blasphemy is absolutely not allowed!

Silide quickly stopped his wild thoughts and continued to maintain the operation of the magic circle.

Although the offensive of the wizards outside the city was not enough to cause any impact on this holy city, as the maintainers and controllers of divine magic, these cardinals also bore considerable pressure.

Fortunately, according to the instructions of the Pope, the great Moon Goddess will soon descend from heaven, and they only need to hold on for a while!

At the same time, the new saint of the church, the incarnation of the Moon Goddess on earth, was standing on the top floor of the Sky Tower.

A strange crystal with a strange glow was suspended in the center of the tower, rotating slowly and steadily.

The reason why it is weird is that it seems to be between illusion and reality, or the boundary between falsehood and reality, and the interior reflects the scene of heaven in the Bible.

"Is it still not enough?" The saint sighed softly.

In order to gather enough devout believers, she sent the church's most elite troops to stop the wizards' march as if they were sending themselves to die, and used magic to inspire their inner faith.

At the moment of her death, about 50,000 people became her devout believers, and their souls merged into the Kingdom of God. Even so, with the addition of more than 200,000 devout believers who came from all over the empire to the Holy City, as well as the church's accumulation over hundreds of years, it was still about one-tenth away from the goal of one million.

"You don't need to hesitate any longer, my Lord!" Pope Alvis said solemnly.

Now those wizards have arrived outside the holy city. Although they can't do anything about the external protective spells for the time being, but under such an attack, the priests and bishops of the church may only be able to hold on for about a day at most.

The only way is to use the clergy of the church to make up for these shortcomings!

In order to achieve the goal, completely eliminate the poison of faith, and let the true God descend on this continent, anyone can be sacrificed, even the high-ranking officials of the church are no exception!

"If necessary, I can give everything for you at any time, even my life and soul!" Pope Alvis knelt on the ground and said firmly.

The Saint's face showed a touch of emotion, and then she shook her head: "You have done enough, Alvis. Even in the new world, your presence is still indispensable."

It was for this reason that she was hesitant to make up her mind.

The divine magic system covering the entire empire is the result of her hundreds of years of hard work, and is the key to ruling this vast continent.

Just as the Saint was about to speak again, the entire Sky Tower suddenly shook violently.

"What happened?" Alvis's face changed suddenly, and he immediately looked at the crystal floating in the tower, thinking that the power emitted by this thing had an impact on the Sky Tower.

The new saint's face also turned gloomy, and her pair of eyes as dazzling as stars penetrated the wall of the Sky Tower and looked at various places in the holy city.

Along with a roar coming from the deepest part of the earth, a crack suddenly appeared in the ground west of the holy city, and then a terrifying, raging underground fire gushed out from the middle and bottom, engulfing a large area in an instant.

More than 2,000 priests and bishops in the west died on the spot, and the cracks were spreading rapidly in all directions.

The ground was cracking, bricks and stones were crumbling, and houses were collapsing... huge rocks and debris were flying everywhere. In just a dozen seconds, most of the holy city collapsed...

"The holy city collapsed. It should be the attack launched by those wizards from underground..." The saint's voice was extremely cold, and the anger in her heart had reached its limit.

In fact, she had set up many protective spells on the surface, but she did not expect that these wizards would launch attacks from underground.

Even with her power, it is impossible to stop the collapse of the entire city. Being able to react in the critical moment and save the Sky Tower is already the limit.

The Holy City...collapsed?!

Alvis was also horrified when he heard the news, but he didn't care at all. He immediately thought that the defense of the holy city would inevitably collapse as well.

Those wizards might have already broken in!

The current situation has undoubtedly reached the most critical moment!

"It seems that I may not be able to witness your ascension to the throne with my own eyes..." Alves' face showed some regret and determination. After a pause, he spoke again solemnly. "Please concentrate on integrating this godhood. Before we are all dead, the Sky Tower will be safe!"

After he finished speaking, Alvis stood up and walked quickly out of the tower. The light of faith flashing around him was particularly dazzling...

The saint stood there without replying until the door of the Sky Tower was closed, then she murmured.

"Since it is your choice, then, Alvis..."

"I bless you, you will be invincible, you will rule the kingdom of heaven and be the right hand of God..."

God's words are powerful. When making the promise, the saint clearly felt that part of the divine power in her body disappeared and was bestowed on Alvis.

Even though this might have some impact on the subsequent ceremony of integrating the godhood, she did not regret it.

Enough people have passed away.

Adwyre died, Joshua died, Gustav was captured, all the elite members of the church were killed...even now the Holy City is on the verge of destruction.

In just two years, after those wizards emerged from the fog, all that the church had painstakingly built up over hundreds of years was lost in one day.
