Section 5 Fourth-Order Battles
"It seems that Your Excellency already knew that we were coming. Grom snorted coldly.
"Hehehe! I kept Hudhaka for so long, didn't I just want to catch a big fish...... However, it seems that your Free Empire is already running out of manpower?" Semetis glanced at the other side strangely, there are only about 20 people, it doesn't seem to have much effect on the current situation in Dhaka, right?
"Hmph, just try it!" Since the other party has two angels, at least one should be left to care about Dhaka. If only one angel was involved in the ambush, there would be nothing to be feared by these people. Grom squinted his eyes and swept the five people in front of him one by one, which one was the fourth order?
Your Excellency's tone is not small. I'm giving you a chance...... If you are willing to submit to our Lord God of Light, I will spare you a life. Semetis had a condescending look, and his face was full of pride. Como and Piro also unfolded their wings behind them in unison, and a huge holy power poured out from their bodies, and the strong energy 'wave' caused the face of the battle leader on the opposite side to change drastically.
"Your Excellency is so generous...... "I didn't expect the other party to send all two angels in order to ambush him, the situation is not good!" "Aren't you afraid that Daka will take the opportunity to counterattack?"
"Hahaha! Your city fortress has been suppressed by us for many days, and today is an occasional truce, how dare they take the initiative to attack!" Semetis is very sure, because the purpose of Dhaka is to delay the arrival of reinforcements, and if the Holy Light Empire does not attack, they are desperate.
"You even know when we're here?" The pupils in Grom's eyes constricted, could it be that there was a traitor in the Free Empire?
"Don't be so agitated...... In fact, if you calculate this time, you will not be far from ten! Luckily, the first day will wait for you. Semetis's mouth twitched into a chuckle. "I wonder what you're thinking about my proposal?"
"If you want to fight, you will fight! Where is so much nonsense!" Probably 'figured' out the enemy's situation, Grom had already made up his mind that he had to force his way out.
With his feet in the air, Grom's body 'surged' and 'shot' out like sharp arrows, and a surging fighting spirit instantly overshadowed the momentum oppression of the two angels on the other side, which made the hearts of the battle list masters feel relieved. The Heavenly Sword in his hand carried a golden 'color' of fierce fighting energy, and a golden light slashed out, striking at Semetis fiercely.
The young man in the middle was undoubtedly the leader of the ambush, and as long as he was subdued, his side would be able to get out of trouble unharmed.
"Daring!" Pyro dodged in front of Semetis, and swung his fists head-on to meet Grom's Heavenly Sword.
Two streams of energy, one white and one gold, collided in one place, letting out a heavy roar. Before the smoke cleared, Grom walked through the explosion and shouted like a thunderbolt from his mouth: "Don't think that you are the fourth order!"
The two-handed greatsword slashed at Vira's neck with a sharp sound that broke through the air.
Angel Shield! The other party's attack was fierce, and in a hurry, Piro didn't dare to 'confront' it head-on, and it was too late to dodge the 'desire', so he had to flap his wings, and a 'milky' white energy shield formed by holy power blocked in front of him.
The energy on the Grom Greatsword suddenly spat out, and the size of the sword seemed to have increased several times at once. Slammed into the shield of holy power.
Boom! Vira's body flew upside down and slammed into a small hill. Angel Shield, a defensive skill that can withstand fourth-order primary energy, can't even withstand Grom's blow......
A hint of surprise clearly flashed in Semetis' and Como's eyes, this man ...... It's so strong!
A figure shot out of the gravel on the hill and floated in front of Grom again. I saw a huge sword wound on his right shoulder, which extended to his abdomen. Under the repair of the Holy Force, the bleeding has stopped, but the crimson blood stains are still conspicuously hanging on the 'naked' and 'exposed' 'chest'. One after another of holy power continued to flow near the wound, repairing the heavy wound little by little.
A rough breath erupted from Grom's nostrils, and the flesh on his face shook slightly. The people of the Holy Light Empire are very difficult to deal with at this point, and with such a serious injury, for ordinary masters of the Free Empire, they can no longer continue to fight. At best, the opponent has lost 10% of his combat effectiveness.
"Your Excellency has actually reached the fourth order?" Semetis frowned slightly, obviously a little unexpected.
"Don't compare me with you! The power gained from outside is nothing but a joke in my eyes. Grom sneered.
"It doesn't matter how the power is obtained...... The most important thing is that you can use it to achieve your own goals!" Although Grom's toughness was beyond his expectations, Semetis did not have the slightest nervousness, and still put on a look of victory.
"Originally, I thought that this time it would take a lot of effort to catch some small fish...... Since you refuse to submit to my lord, then you should die!" Semetis and Ssol stepped back slightly.
As if they had received some signal, the holy power in their bodies slowly possessed, and a huge holy power enchantment enveloped the remaining 25 battle ranking masters.
Five bishops and five ascetics have joined forces to create a realm of holy power: the Light Enchantment!
There are still about 30 level 9 masters of the Holy Light Empire, who are ready to attack at any time.
"My lord will bless you!" a dazzling white light emanated from the body of the bishop who had been silent beside Semetis just now, and a pair of holy wings appeared behind him. With the sound of his prayers, a pillar of light smashed on top of the Light Enchantment, and the Enchantment, which had barely covered everyone, suddenly expanded several times.
As a result, the range of battles that can be fought in the barrier has suddenly expanded a lot.
"Not good!" Grom was not sealed, but he understood the situation at the moment. Although he didn't know the role of the Light Enchantment, he didn't need to think about it to know that fighting in it must be very beneficial to the warriors of the Holy Light Empire. Moreover, the other party also has an advantage in numbers, if they can't break the barrier and rescue everyone, they will definitely be wiped out.
Look at me breaking your birdcage!" Grom spurted in momentum as he charged towards the barrier.
But how could Cumo and Piro let Grom get his wish? They were already on the left and right, quickly blocking the gap between Grom and the Light Enchantment.
The two joined forces to hold Grom's big sword, and the three of them flew back dozens of meters at the same time. Two angels, enough to resist Grom!
The angel incarnated by the Bishop is not directly involved in the battle, but he has many powerful buffs.
Two 'milky' white balls of light flew out of the Angelic Bishop's body and 'shot' into the bodies of Como and Piro. For a while, the holy light that enveloped the two of them became even brighter, especially Piluo, whose momentum had been weakened by the injury suddenly rose again.
"It's a pity...... You've been fooled!" Semetis chuckled mockingly, his face full of pride. "If there were only two fourth-order angels, maybe there would be no way to leave all of you behind today. ”
Damn! Grom finally sensed that something was wrong, two fourth-order battle angels plus half a blessed angel, it was really difficult for him to win.
In addition to reinforcing Como and Pira, the Blessed Angel also has to help within the Light Enchantment.
You must kill an angel as soon as possible in order to quickly save the situation...... However, the two angels who had been blessed by the buff were now a little weaker than themselves, and it was so difficult to kill them.
"You only have one chance to live, and you've missed it...... So, die obediently!" Semetis didn't care if the other side surrendered or not. What the God of Light needs is a large number of devout believers.
It is very difficult for a level 9 master like the Freedom Empire to convince them to believe in the God of Light. But at the same time, they are their biggest resistance. For this force, Semetis is of course the quickest to get rid of.
However, ordinary people and regular soldiers who are not strong in strength, because they can't pose much of a threat and are huge in number, they are the targets that the Holy Light Empire wants to fight. Without the leadership and encouragement of the masters, these ordinary people are easily subdued.
If you want to quickly allow the Light Faith to take root in the Free Empire, you must eradicate all the masters who threaten. Even if all the level 8 and 9 masters in the Free Empire are killed, the impact on the power of faith will not be too great.
So Semedis's strategy was to destroy the living forces of the Free Empire in one fell swoop, so that they would no longer be able to resist. If the threatening masters refuse to submit, they will all be killed. Patience...... Only for ordinary people.
In the raid of Pudos, the Holy Light Empire was to select level 8 and 9 masters to slaughter, and in this battle, the losses of level 8 and 9 masters were almost 1:2 compared to the losses of regular soldiers. You must know that the ratio of masters to regular soldiers in the army is 1:5!
Now Hudhaka has gathered half of the master power of the Free Empire, and although the 26 masters who came to reinforce this time are not many, their strength is top-notch...... As long as they are all eliminated, the Free Empire will no longer be able to fight back.
Of course, this is only a unilateral idea of the Holy Light Empire......
In the sky, Grom's battle with the two angels was raging.
Receiving the onslaught of Cuomo and Piro, Grom seemed to have only the power to parry, and his body kept retreating.
"You despise the power that God has given us, so what now?" said Vira, sneering. The place where he was slashed by Grom just now is still aching, he has not suffered such a big loss since he got the heart of an angel, he must kill this man with his own hands!
"Even if you rely on your own cultivation to the fourth order, you still can't compete with the power of light! Suffer death!" Cumo's sword slashed at Grom's waist, and just now Grom used his sword to block a punch from Viro, just when his strength was exhausted.
A phantom flickered, and Cuomo's sword slashed into the void. A dull sound of breaking the air sounded behind him, and Grom was behind him in an instant, his great sword slashing at his head.
