Chapter 85: Temple Watcher

"Time, damn it, I don't have much time now. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lin Feng felt that fate was choking his throat, and there was a suffocating despair.

Just as the temple was close at hand, and Lin Feng was about to get the last part of the spell, an army appeared on the hillside and took control of the area.

Those weren't rebels, they were temple guards.

Some of the most important religious buildings in Ionia have their own guards, known as the Watchmen. The Watchmen have lived near these buildings for generations, living their lives like ordinary people, keeping in mind the mission that has been passed down from ancient times.

And when they have a premonition that danger is approaching, they will turn into warriors and shoulder the mission of inheritance.

Yes, dangerous.

The temple, which symbolizes the highest religion in the South, is in crisis.

A few days ago, the Imperial army landed in the Holy Harbor in the north. Leaving Darius in charge of the Lesser garrison to defend the front line of Presidium, Kaya led the remaining army of 100,000 troops southward.

The southern provinces fell one after another, and on the morning of January 4, the Imperial army entered the province of Nawel, extending its control area to the coastline.

At the same time, the defenders of Neville, who had repelled the rebel attack three days earlier, continued to advance eastward.

Also in the early morning of the 4th, the army came out of the mountains in the northern part of the province of Nawel and marched to the temple of Peras.

Although Karma had anticipated the strategic intentions of the Imperial Army, he did not expect the Noxians to be so ambitious and resolute in their actions.

The 20,000 troops of the rebel army are in the territory of the province of Pyras at this moment, but at this time, there is a heavy concentration of imperial troops in the direction of Nawel in the west, and it is expected that they will only need to rest for half a day before sending a large army to the eastern region to continue to advance, and will soon enter the province of Pyras. An army of 100,000 will be overwhelmed, and the rebels will immediately be like eggs in the nest.

For now, the rebels had no choice but to retreat towards the southern coast. However, the temple of Pyras is so important that Karma is really relieved.

The importance of the temple lies not only in its symbolism, but also in the presence of several religious leaders and some extremely important ancient holy objects.

Kalmar hesitated and took a huge risk to personally lead an elite force to the aid of the temple, while the rest of the rebel forces withdrew to the south.

However, on this plain, how could they keep up with the enemy's speed, and in the early morning of the 5th, three light and heavy cavalry regiments of the Imperial Army in the northern region had begun to attack the area around the temple.

In a small mountain village on the north side of the foothills, a mixed cavalry brigade brandished sabers and slaughtered in.

The mountain people rose up and resisted, delaying the army for more than ten minutes at any cost.

Enraged, the Imperial army charged back and forth through the village, killing all the mountain people who were holding on to the entrance of the village and pushing away the boulders that stood in the way.

A solemn temple stood silently in the valley in the distance, and the Imperial army roared, and the main force of the light cavalry broke free from the entanglement and rushed in the direction of the temple.

At this moment, on the hillside, a young man had just stood on top of a boulder, looked down, and then slowly raised a huge bow.

The bow is like a full moon, and a silver feather arrow is placed on the string, slowly emitting a silver brilliance.

"They'll know they'll regret it."

The young man let out a cold voice, and his arms began to tremble slightly, and he had exhausted the last of his strength. At the same time, the brilliance on the arrows became even brighter.

After a long period of charging, the arrow was finally fired.

Shout.

The sharp sound of breaking the air immediately alerted the cavalry below, and the condensed gaze of the cavalry captain in front swept towards the mountain, and he sneered faintly: "Hmph, just an archer, do you want to stop us?" ”

Seeing the direction of the arrow, he rode forward and raised his scimitar in his hand.

"Chop."

A sharp slash, slashing at the moment when the arrow faster than lightning slashed in front of his eyes.

Rumble.

A wave of demonic energy burst out, and the cavalry captain's body shook, but he didn't expect that the person who shot the arrow was actually a cultivator with good strength.

"Is it a watchman, huh, but that's it." The cavalry captain sneered disdainfully.

However, at this moment, a series of screams suddenly sounded behind him. Then, people continued to fall off their horses.

The cavalry captain jerked his head back, and a silver ray of light pierced through the center of the galloping cavalry ranks.

Wherever Guanghua passed, soldiers screamed and fell off their horses, and there was a faint silver glow between the fingers covering their chests.

An arrow pierces the heart, and none of the middle is spared.

Damn, the Guardian's arrow had been blocked by himself. The magic energy piercing power attached to the arrow is still so domineering.

This arrow killed more than a dozen elite soldiers of the empire, and it dealt a serious blow to morale.

The cavalry captain roared: "Hugh will take care of him, and you will kill the temple according to the original plan, and wait for Ben to go up and kill this person." ”

"Temple! These arrogant Empire men are indeed going to attack the temple. The young man on the hill looked back at him.

As a watchman, he should have gone back to defend the temple right now. But the mountain down the mountain was his home, and the worry about his relatives made him hesitate for a moment.

Then, again, he raised his great bow, but did not catch the arrow. He condensed a wave of magical energy and slowly bent his knees and aimed the giant bow at the sky.

The magic energy light shot out, scattered in mid-air, and turned into a silver ray, which immediately split into a rain of magical arrows.

The rain of arrows fell at the foot of the mountain, and more than a dozen people in the charging cavalry immediately turned over and fell off their horses.

The cavalry behind continued to move forward, and the rain of arrows fell on the ground and turned into a silver light, and the soil seemed to be alive and split into dense pale golden cracks like cobwebs.

The horse's hooves fell into a quagmire as if they were in a swamp, and the pale golden rays of magic energy wrapped around the horse's legs, making it difficult for the horse to move.

The soldiers on the horses could not hold back and rushed out from their horses. At the same time, the cavalry behind had no time to react, and the horses collided together. The whole cavalry was stopped by this arrow.

"Damn, I can't get the best in this battle today." When the cavalry captain saw this, his heart jumped like thunder.

As he rode up the hill, he saw the defender turning away, and angrily turned back and shouted, "Stop the march and take the temple first." Turn around and kill me, and destroy this village for me. ”

The young man who walked down the hill was stunned, and his body struggled for a while, but he still didn't look back.

He galloped to the temple and made a cold vow: "They made their own end." The evil deeds of the people of the empire today can only be repaid with blood. I will never forgive you for your sins! ”

Scattered in many mountain villages on all sides of the temple, battles took place almost at the same time. Because the watchmen had already withdrawn to the temple, the rest of the cavalry was soon approaching the valley where the temple was located almost without hindrance.

Lin Feng and his party observed the battle situation on the east side, and saw more and more imperial cavalry teams rushing over, and the situation faced by the temple guards became more and more severe.

Whether it was for himself or for Soraka, Lin Feng wanted to join the battle right away at this time. However, the temple guards were visibly hostile when they discovered this mercenary team, and they were afraid that it would be self-defeating.

What puzzled Lin Feng was that Soraka, as the spiritual leader of the temple, seemed extremely calm at the moment, and had no intention of taking the initiative at all, which was really incomprehensible.
