Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 429: The Still Castle in the Sky

Xi meowed to indicate that he understood, and Xingluo said no more, and the two continued walking in the academy.

In Luoshen City, Sophia changed her usual gorgeous aristocratic attire and put on a combat outfit. It was hard to tell whether she was a magician or a knight. Next to her were Gloria and Silver Flash. The three of them had a good relationship now. Gloria even stood on Silver Flash's back without being thrown off.

"Grand Duchess Sofia, you don't have to go. Silver and I can go." Gridlia said.

"No, now Luoshen Academy is in danger and has been surrounded. Luoshen City is going to send troops. How can I not be here?" Sophia's face was full of worry. She knew that the man would definitely defend Luoshen Academy to the death. He was such a coward, so why did he always do impulsive things?

At this time, Grand Duke Sophia assembled 100,000 private armed forces. These armed forces were the accumulation of Luoshen City over many years. The imperial high-level officials had no right to interfere. Sophia was ready to go without return.

Gegelia sighed and said, Gegelia knew what Xingluo was thinking. He knew that Sofia's actions were futile, but what else could he say: "Why are you doing this?"

Grand Duke Sofia's eyes were firm: "Let's set off without further delay."

At this time, Gridlia said with a twinkle in her eyes, "Wait, Sophia, Xingluo said that they will give us the news before taking action. Now that the Sky City is in the sky, the other party has no way to do anything to them. If we rush over, they may send out their manpower to save us, and we will be in a passive position at that time."

Sophia was startled, then said, "Did Xingluo say this?"

"Of course." Gridlia said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

Sophia nodded thoughtfully, and these private armed forces began to enter training on the spot, and Gridlia also jumped off FlashSilver.

Although Gridlia and Xingluo were separated, they still had an ambiguous connection. Whether it was their positions or some words, they could all be perceived directly through mental power. So Gridlia directly told Xingluo about her idea of ​​going to support, and Xingluo responded immediately.

Of course Xingluo couldn't let Sophia and the others rush over directly, because that would be exactly what the Holy See of Light wants. Then the Seminary would be in a passive position whether to rescue them or not. Instead of that, it would be better to let these people go when the critical moment comes, so as to achieve better results.

Xingluo heaved a sigh of relief when he knew Sophia didn't come immediately. He was too busy here. He had just finished inspecting the Sky City and he still had to go to the Luoshen Academy to check on the students. These students were very young and it was unlikely that they had been infiltrated by the Holy See of Light a long time ago. Even if they had, it would be difficult for these students to conceal their emotions and they would be discovered soon. So Xingluo was not very worried. His main focus was to get to know their teachers through these students. These teachers had been working at the Luoshen Academy for more than ten or twenty years, but it was hard to say whether they had been infiltrated by the Holy See of Light during that time.

Xingluo had become a legendary figure in the eyes of these students. Whatever he asked, the students would naturally rush to answer, which made this investigation much easier. During the investigation, Xingluo collected some unusual intelligence about several teachers, and he immediately reported it to the dean. Of course, he himself was not idle either, and began to focus on these teachers.

He had only met these teachers before and had never even taken their classes. After all, what he learned during his studies was mostly magic, not the knights' combat methods, and these teachers were all knights without exception.

Most of the Knights of Light are knights, because priests must have light attributes, and light attributes are very rare, so it is easy to judge. Once awakened, they will basically be taken away by the Church of Light and will not study in the Fallen God Academy. So if there are traitors, most of them are knights.

In the distant Middle Ages, a brave army called the "Knights of Light" prepared to launch an attack on a majestic war fortress. This is a war fortress standing above the clouds, its walls piercing into the clouds, looking solemn and indestructible.

At dawn, the mist was lingering, the stars had not yet dissipated, and the camp of the Knights of Light was brightly lit. The knights wore bright silver armor and held shining swords. Their mounts, the strong Chocobos, were also decorated like flowing metal torrents. The flags fluttered, and the white cross symbolizing light rustled in the breeze, foreshadowing the upcoming battle.

As the horn sounded, the knights began to line up in an orderly manner. They were divided into several teams, each led by an experienced captain. Archers, infantry and heavy cavalry took their positions, forming a powerful siege formation. In the distance, the defenders of the Fallen God Academy watched this scene vigilantly on the city wall, and the light of torches flickered on their nervous faces.

When the first rays of sunlight shone over the valley, the vanguard of the Knights began to move. They advanced quickly and firmly towards the fortress above the sky, their iron hooves stepping on the stone road, making a shocking roar. Archers followed closely behind, with longbows in their hands ready to fire deadly arrows at any time. At the same time, siege equipment - huge catapults and ladders were pushed forward, ready to attack the city wall, but all this was in vain, because the sky city was suspended in the air, and these engineering machinery was still a long way from touching it.

The horn of war echoed in the valley, the gate of the fortress was closed, and the defenders began to release rain of arrows and rolling stones to block the surging offensive. This time, the warriors of the Knights of Light were fearless. They protected themselves with shields and moved forward step by step towards their goal. The fierce battle that should have happened did not happen because the engineering machinery could not reach the foot of the city wall, let alone any fierce battle.

The heavy cavalry charged at the critical moment. They rushed forward like thunder and tried to block with heavy shields, but it was in vain because the attack came from the sky, not from the front, and with the blessing of gravity, the power was much greater than usual.

At this moment, a cardinal's eyes flickered, as if he had received some order. The corners of his mouth opened into a frightening arc: "We can blow up the Sky City now."

The cardinal's face was full of excitement at this time, and his crazy expression made people around him afraid. With the communication of mental power, the detonation began. He looked up at the eternal city, and even a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but this expression gradually turned into confusion, and then solemn. In the end, he urged it a few more times, and found that the city in the sky did not move at all. He was left with only a stunned expression.
