#377 - Chapter 111: Horses Trampling the Holy Temple (V)

Not only that, they were constantly counterattacking, forcing the enemy back. These soldiers were clad in triple armor, and the stones thrown by the people bounced off them, unable to cause them any harm at all. Even those wielding simple weapons like wooden sticks found it difficult to leave a single scratch on their armor. But the sharp swords and spears in their hands caused heavy casualties with every swing. These soldiers resolutely carried out the lord's orders, and would not hesitate to retaliate against anyone who dared to attack, regardless of age or gender.

The Church warriors immediately launched a counterattack, but their attacks were not very effective. The enraged 'Poor People's Assembly' fanatics became even more frenzied, charging towards the enemy with crude weapons and howls, disrupting the formation of the Star Knights. However, they were met with only cold, merciless weapons: spears pierced their bodies, and swords severed their heads.

Most importantly, the Church's armed forces were not a professional force; they lacked ranged weapons and adequate protection. They were facing a professional army, and were constantly suffering heavy casualties. Although their attacks were like a surging tide, they were stubbornly resisted by a thousand black-armored soldiers. However, due to the Church's armed forces occupying the high ground, the black-armored soldiers' lines were slowly retreating.

At the same time, the giants' slingshots did not stop, and stone bullets rained down on the crowd. Perhaps some people wanted to escape, but they were squeezed in the crowd and could not move at all. They were soon hit by the bullets, and their crude weapons could not even block them. Often, a single bullet would clear a bloody path, killing or wounding at least six or seven people.

The battle was extremely fierce, and more soldiers kept coming from below the hill to join the battle. The black-armored soldiers gradually stabilized their position and began to counterattack. They formed tight phalanxes, advancing step by step, mercilessly beheading the enemy. Although the Church's armed forces were numerous, they lacked organization and training, making it difficult to resist the black-armored soldiers' attacks.

It was a bloody and cruel war, and both sides paid a heavy price. The battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating. But neither side retreated.

Just then, the giants' attacks came to an abrupt halt, as they had exhausted their ammunition.

Marg and Wen Wang led them, unhesitatingly picking up their battle axes and letting out deafening roars: 'Roar, roar, roar~!' Then, they strode forward and charged. These giants were tall, with long arms, and wielded huge long-handled battle axes with a reach of nearly six meters. Even through their own ranks, they could easily swing their battle axes and inflict fatal blows on the enemy. With a single sweep, they could easily clear out the Church's armed forces in front of them, instantly creating a bloody scene. With just a few swings, the ground was littered with severed limbs.

The black-armored soldiers in front of them tacitly made way, allowing the giant guard to pass through smoothly. This powerful force broke through the Star Knights' defenses at an astonishing speed. The Church warriors tried to attack with their weapons, but they were all blocked by their heavy armor and bounced back. At the same time, the black-armored soldiers quickly filled the gaps, eliminating the torn enemy one by one.

The Great Sparrow watched this scene in astonishment, his heart full of doubts and incomprehension. He couldn't understand why things had developed to this point. Garron acted as soon as he said he would, directly ordering the army to attack them, catching him off guard. The Great Sparrow couldn't understand how they could not gain the slightest advantage, and even suffered heavy casualties, despite having more people than the enemy, and by several times.

Just now, a bullet flew straight towards him, and the Great Sparrow's face changed drastically, unable to even dodge. At the critical moment, a Holy Sword Knight rushed forward and blocked the fatal blow with his shield. However, the brave Holy Sword Knight was cut in half at the waist, and warm blood and internal organs splattered all over his head and face.

Avoiding harm is human instinct, even for fanatics. When they realized that there was no chance of winning this battle, many people began to turn around and run away. But even more people blindly rushed towards the black-armored soldiers, trying to break through their defenses.

The giants wielded their huge battle axes, and each swing brought a bloody scene, with severed limbs flying everywhere. In this chaos, the Great Sparrow was terrified and could only cower behind the Holy Sword Knights, trembling. His eyes were filled with fear, and he muttered to himself: "How could it become like this? Stop! Bastards! How can you kill people here? How dare you massacre in this sacred place? Ah! This is not my fault, you blasphemer, the gods will punish you."

At this time, Liu Yuan rode his horse closely behind her, keeping his eyes locked on Lyanna to ensure her safety. At the same time, he kept shooting arrows at those who tried to approach that direction.

With the giants' assault, they quickly broke through to the bottom of the statue of the Holy Mother. Liu Yuan nimbly dismounted, and unhesitatingly kicked away the nearby corpses (nuns who had not yet died). Then, he gently picked up Lyanna, wrapped her tightly in his cloak, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay." Then, he carefully carried his sister onto the warhorse.

However, at this moment, a Holy Sword Knight struggled to climb out of the mountain of corpses. He widened his eyes, glared at Liu Yuan, and shouted: "Die! You demon!" Saying that, he raised his long sword and rushed towards Liu Yuan like a madman.

Liu Yuan glanced indifferently at this crazy knight, pulled the reins, and the tall warhorse kicked him away with its hind hooves. The knight fell to the ground, followed by a huge foot stepping on him, accompanied by a scream and splattering blood.

A giant seemed to notice something under his feet, but he just lifted his foot and glanced at it, wiping the blood and flesh on the ground. He continued to engage in the battle, then slashed and killed the surrounding enemies.

As the black-armored soldiers advanced, the number of corpses on the battlefield increased, and blood flowed like rivers. This battle seemed to have no end, and the Church's armed forces, brainwashed by their faith, erupted with amazing fighting will. Both sides were doing their best to fight for every inch of land. In this bloody massacre, no one could escape. The entire square became a sea of blood, with corpses piled up like mountains.

Seeing that Liu Yuan had brought Lyanna back, Reifler and Becotte, who were fighting, did not hesitate to abandon the enemies in front of them and hurried over.

Liu Yuan reached out and handed Lyanna in his arms to Reifler.
