Chapter 522: Ambush

In fact, at the same time that Firmino sent his men to act as messengers to communicate directly with the troops of the Holy Alliance, in the City of Bauhinia, Hindlaire diplomat Allen also approached the diplomatic ambassador Simpson on the other side and informed him of the incident. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It turns out that Simpson didn't believe Allen's words at all, and he was still angry that the Schindlailes unilaterally supported Parrot as Grand Duke. After Allen came to his door, he sneered and said, 'The Hindlaires are afraid of the Holy Alliance army that is marching on the fir field, and are trying to stall for time with this ridiculous excuse'.

Alan couldn't help it.

As for the messengers sent by Firmino to the Confederate army, the situation was not much better. After the messenger entered the army, he could not come out.

Firmino didn't know what had happened to his men - most of them had been detained. Moreover, it did not make a big difference to the situation, and the army of the Holy Alliance continued to walk step by step into the trap laid by the Church of the Damned.

Of course, the general of the Holy Alliance's army, a nobleman from the kingdom of Pudri, Viscount Karn, was not an arrogant and stubborn man. Although he did not believe the so-called Hindlaire's messenger, and preferred to see it as an excuse for the enemy to delay their march, the caution of his years in the army made him decide that he should be careful.

On the one hand, he increased his efforts to send scouts around, and on the other hand, he also eliminated some of the magic casters in the army.

The arcane power of the Holy Alliance is relatively poor, because under the teachings of the Holy See, mages and wizards are not a good profession. Although it is not as likely as in the last century to be convicted of mastering arcane, the entire social environment is clearly not friendly to those who master arcane.

On the contrary, it is also because of the existence of the Holy See, priests, priests, holy warriors...... The number of masters of divine arts and so on in the territory of the Holy Alliance, especially in the territory of the Holy Prometic New Empire, is significantly more than that of other countries and regions. And the status of the divine spellcaster in the Holy Alliance is also very high, not comparable to arcane spellcasters such as mages and warlocks.

In the midst of the Holy Alliance's army, there was a support force of three or four hundred priests—much more than the priests of the Sixth Legion in Paran.

Of course, in their army, there was not a single mage.

This lame caster team configuration has certain flaws in itself, which is reflected in the team's detection, that is, there is no way to conduct a comprehensive investigation of all kinds of spell types.

Of course, the caster of divine spells is still very sensitive to the perception of negative energy. But unfortunately, since the Church of the Damned had prepared such a huge trap to deal with the Holy Alliance's army, they naturally considered the possibility that the trap might be found by the priest.

They have a certain amount of concealment of the cursed trap.

All of this presided over by a sixteenth-level archmage has a very sufficient quality guarantee. At least, when the priests above level 10 on the opposite side only have three or two kittens, there is no way to detect them if they don't get close to a certain level and try their best to probe.

Even with the Negative Energy Detection Facility on.

More than two hours passed, and finally, two pastors noticed something was wrong.

However, everything is irretrievable. More than half of the Holy Alliance's army has stepped into the effective range of the cursed circle.

Two dark arrows suddenly shot out, killing the two priests. Immediately after, a huge amount of negative energy began to gather, and a dark cloud enveloped the entire Holy Alliance's army.

The curse circle was activated.

The ground rumbled, and an earthen platform rose out of thin air. Archmage Death's Eye stood at the top of the earth platform, leading more than thirty high-level spellcasters to release and gather spells together. On the ground, the buried corpses of previously slaughtered humans burst out of the ground!

They came back from the dead, but they were no longer the humans of the past.

It's the undead!

More than 2,000 corpses, all of them turned into undead under the effect of the cursed circle. The corpses that have been disposed of by the dark wizards and sorcerers are not weak under the bonus of the powerful curse circle.

There are no skeletons, no low-level undead like zombies, and all resurrected undead, at worst, are ghouls, whose strength is no less than that of human elite soldiers. At the same time, among the large number of ghouls, there are also some evolved versions of ghouls - demons, and even some undead at the level of black warriors have appeared.

Such a force is no longer weak.

Indeed, in people's minds and impressions, the armies of the undead are always overwhelming their enemies with outnumbered and crowding tactics. From an individual point of view, the undead class does not have any advantage in meeting soldiers of other races at the same level.

To some extent, this is true. On many occasions throughout history, this phenomenon has been universally confirmed by the fact that humans, and other races, have faced large armies of the undead.

But this is only a macro view, and it is not necessarily universally applicable when it comes to a single war – this one, for example.

In this ambush war, the human army certainly has an absolute advantage in numbers. However, the undead have the upper hand on an individual level.

The Church of the Damned had put a lot of effort into arranging this ambush not to give heads to the Holy Alliance's army. Under their careful arrangement, the army of the undead who was re-recalled to the world is quite excellent in quality.

The soldiers of the Holy Alliance, in terms of their own quality, may not have much problem fighting two or three skeleton warriors or zombies at a time, but it is slightly difficult to let them go head-to-head with a ghoul. Those who can beat ghouls single-handedly have to be the elite of the army.

The advanced version of the ghoul demon ghost has generally reached about level 4, which already requires some non-commissioned officers with outstanding strength to be able to deal with.

As for the Black Knight...... A black warrior who is able to confront at least one normal squad of human soldiers head-on without falling behind.

The sudden attack of such a team plunged the Holy Alliance into chaos in an instant!
