Chapter 409: Awarding Honors

The meager defense of just over two thousand soldiers couldn't possibly hold the four major breaches, not to mention the attacking side consisted almost entirely of knights. In the words of some, it was akin to advanced soldiers fighting raw recruits, which was ludicrous.

Lin Xiao observed the entire battle from the rear, spending most of the time focused on the changes within the grand cathedral inside the city; the battlefield itself only warranted occasional attention.

With an absolute overwhelming of power, there wasn't much to see on the battlefield, and he didn't even resort to using any powerful Divine Arts to assist; only the accompanying Holy Knights occasionally used minor healing-oriented Divine Arts.

The fighting at the four breaches lasted at its shortest just over half an hour, and at most, two hours. The city's defensive forces collapsed entirely, with only the Holy Church's knightly defenders holding on a bit longer.
