Chapter 118: There is a king in the hole cards
Six hundred priests appeared on a line that was barely supported by the Imperial heavy armoured troops and longbowmen, as well as the heavy cavalry of the Second Regiment.
The chief priest, Helena, under the protection of the antimatter shield held up by the Guards Twins Liliana and Ludia, used large-scale spells against the Ruthless Clark the Archers and bombarded them indiscriminately, and Clark could only look at the strange shield, hating it so much that he didn't dare to let his men shoot, he always remembered the counterattack magic missile that he had just bombed.
Clark had completely raised his dragonback cloak in front of him to defend against magic, and he did his best to shout a plea to one of the commanders who was fighting.
"Yi! We must—"
"Boom-"
A meteorite exploded directly around the elf, killing hundreds of archers who couldn't dodge, and also throwing him like a paper man, falling directly into the desert.
"Bah-we must retreat!"
Spit out a mouth full of yellow sand, and Clark barely shouted out what he was about to say.
At this time, Yi had no chance to respond to him at all, because the divine bow had entered a state of shattering and recovery, and this powerful archer could only use his own short bow and dagger to face the encirclement and interception of more than a dozen priests.
Lunara still bounced and flickered in the crowd, thousands of powerful heavily-armored sergeants reduced to empty armor that could no longer move, like sculptures that would fall off when the wind blew.
Beside her, dozens of priests of the same poisonous attribute accompanied the little girl in pink makeup, who had corrupted the earth and polluted the air of the infantry regiment with toxins. Although these toxins were not lethal, they severely affected the fighting spirit of the large Sigma Heavy Legion and the judgment of the centurions who led them.
Even if there were a few strong people who could overcome it, they still insisted on directing the troops to retreat or outflank, but the earth corrupted by the poison melted their leg armor, and the poisonous quicksand made them unable to move, and they could only watch the little girl who represented death get closer and closer to them.
The rest of the priests joined the war between Akhan and the Lyrian cavalry against the heavy cavalry regiments.
Three hundred priests continue to power a magic circuit to provide a steady stream of energy to the [Black King] Akhan who is fighting against the angel is Fabius Spair, after all, everyone knows that Akhan is completely unable to fight against the blazing and terrifying angels of the light of heaven in this state, and it is completely supported by the use of enhanced magic, the emperor's terrifying willpower and thousand-year-old combat skills are supporting it with all his might.
The auxiliary spell [Body of the King] can bring Akhan the hand-to-hand combat power of the king of the battlefield, the only drawback is that the magic power consumed is huge, which is not at all something that ordinary mages can bear.
[Eye of Horus] gives Akhan a 270-degree wide field of vision, as sharp as the ancient eagle god, terrifying vision, if it weren't for the Seraph's armor is too fast, Akhan's eyes will become as slow and ridiculous as a childish child playing at this time.
The artifact staff in his hand, [Shadow of the World Tree], is no longer a demigod that has become decayed due to mana storm and time corrosion. The staff in Kelly's hand now shows the power of this artifact when he was just given this artifact by the elven god Sigoki, the god of laughter, in Ackhan's spell reproduction.
More than a dozen spells are released directly through the magic circuit inside the staff without chanting, and every instant, Fabius Spair has to endure more than a dozen terrifying weakening spells such as implosion, psychic blast, shadow impact, and the curse of weakness to forcibly fight the opponent in front of him.
A novice with a full recovery potion wears the highest level of armor obtained by krypton gold to fight against the former powerhouse, which is probably the current battle situation of the two people.
The battle line was in the second team, and the archers were finally pulled back to the stalemate by Yi, who had finally returned to the formation and got the spare longbow. Compared to Clark, Yi, a terrifying monster capable of using mental fire, was very terrifying to the Guard Twins, which made Priest Helena Helweather unable to approach the enemy's rear troops and bombard them indiscriminately.
As for the other priests, they are basically in good condition, except for Lunara's spells, which are being urgently corrected due to a slight lack of arcane energy due to being left on all the time.
It's just that with the powerful Yi presence, no priest can easily get close to the archer troops and throw those spells of mass destruction with limited distance, and they are only responsible for interfering and helping to stop the waves of arrows that have begun to appear again.
What is more special is that the whole battlefield is extremely anxious, under the supervision of the Sigmar Emperor [Pioneer] St. Giles, the 70,000 hoplites of the last legion also joined the battle, which was used to delay the onslaught of the Astartling Knights who were still transforming in the City of Redemption, and the group of priests who tried to assault and resist the archers' fire.
On Kelly Freya's side, the archmage's gaze was fixed on the ridge in the distance, as if he saw some spark of hope there.
As for tactical command, Kelly doesn't know at all, and there are two main reasons why she is still floating in the air and not joining the battle.
First of all, on the top of the hill opposite Kelly, St. Giles was staring at Kelly on a tall horse, as if hoping to see through the expression under the mask and get some information.
As someone who had seen St. Giles back then, Kelly knew very well how long this man had been a monster before. She was not naïve enough to think that an ordinary king could live for nearly a thousand years.
The Demon King is not in the city, and now Kelly is the so-called "hole card", and apparently St. Giles is waiting for Kelly to turn over the hole cards before intervening in the battle, and then it must be a thunderous blow. As long as the defense is not done properly, you will directly lose this war, and completely lose your home and even the name of everyone.
As for the second point, Kelly did see something, and she was somewhat sure that it would make a difference, and although she didn't dare to say anything, she soon couldn't hide it from anyone.
In the distance, in the direction of Vulture City, the roar of the engine continued to sound like thunder, getting louder and louder, echoing through the valley.
"Huh?!"
Finally, even St. Giles, who was far away from that direction, noticed a sound that was distinctly different from the bloody battles and magical explosions on the entire front, and the death-fighting struggles and shouts of the soldiers.
Reinforcements, and enemy reinforcements using advanced equipment from mechanized units.
Almost as a nerve reflex, this information automatically flew into the center of St. Giles' brain. It's a pity that this man who was bewitched by mysterious forces is no longer the timid and cowardly Gilles Fried of the past. At least that's what he thinks, and he's not at a loss.
"Go, my shadows."
The man said.
