Chapter 135: The Ember After the Smoke of War
"The power of God will protect you! Go, O warriors! ”
With a wave of his hand, the morale of the war fighters was greatly boosted, and the daredevils who had at least doubled their strength roared, and under the leadership of the priests of the gods of war and justice, they quickly took shape and rushed out like sharp and blazing blades.
It had already been notified, and the mercenaries and aristocratic private armies who were blocking the path of the death squad immediately got out of the way, and before the monsters who suddenly rushed into the defense line could react, they were smashed on the head by the leading priest of the God of Justice.
The pale, hideous head shattered under the flail, and the priest roared and rushed out with the crowd.
The defense line quickly closed behind them, and the nobles who stood on the command platform and watched the death squad rush out were speechless, the hundred-man team was like entering a no-man's land, and the original personal soldiers were the elite of the hole cards in the hands of each noble, at this time, coupled with the strengthening of divine grace and divine arts, it was equivalent to an elite army that was at least the strength of high-level warriors, except for the church, no kingdom and city-state had such strength to organize such a team.
Low-level warriors are the regular army of the kingdom, middle-level warriors are the backbone and middle-level and lower-level leaders of the army, high-level warriors are not necessarily high-level leaders, but they must be close to the limits of human beings, and they are important assets that must be cherished by any force, no one will use such talents as consumables, and they themselves will not agree.
However, this team of 100 only relied on divine enhancement and divine support, and it could only last for two hours at most, and they had to break through the encirclement as quickly as possible, and then find the command point that they didn't know where to hide.
Even those huge monsters as tall as the giants of the hills were quickly killed under the combined force of the hundreds, and seeing that it was only a cup of tea, they had already killed a long way out, and they had already killed a way in the encirclement of the monster army, and at this moment, everyone who was still besieged could only wait with peace of mind.
……
As the minutes passed, more and more soldiers reached the limit of their bodies, and even experienced mercenaries began to fall suddenly, and died suddenly, and even more unbearable in the private army of the nobility, after the fleet brought in 6,000 people, this temporary position reached saturation, and the remaining 4,000 people could only cross the wide Esmir River, silently watching the battle on the north bank from the south bank.
More than half of the 6,000 people crossing the river had been killed or wounded, and many of them had suddenly foamed at the mouth and collapsed to their deaths, which made the formed defense line weaker and weaker, and the only good news was that the length of the defense line was also reduced, and they could only tightly guard the shallows near the temporary pier, which had become one of their most important lines of defense.
It was an unavoidable encounter, and Shepard was on the front lines with a sword in hand, and the baron, who was as good as his sword and archery, was sure to make a name for himself throughout the Tether after the war, and even spread to other kingdoms and city-states.
I don't know how many nobles and soldiers he saved, the swordsmanship of the dark elves was not suitable for battlefield fighting, but as a god, he has an unimaginable learning ability, and has obtained the inheritance of the advanced melee profession under the command of the ancient sun god, through continuous improvement and evolution, this set of swordsmanship is more and more suitable for his personal habits, occasionally mixed with a few moves of the Sun Church's combat skills, no one recognizes.
"Boom!"
Another flame exploded in the monster group, several monsters in the center of the explosion were killed on the spot, and a dozen monsters next to them were also entangled and licked by the scorching flames, and were burned to charcoal in the screams and madness.
The mercenary team that almost broke through the defense line was spared, and the few people who escaped from death hurriedly crawled out of the fire, Shepard just glanced at them, and didn't pay attention to it anymore, since he made a move, this is already the tenth fireball he threw out, if anyone really wants to pay attention to the number of spells of his 'warlock', then say that he will only have this one spell!
Anyway, such examples are not impossible.,The worst warlock player in the history of the game.,The initial template can put twenty [Light Magic] a day.,If it weren't for the experience of using artificial light bulbs in various underground caves and tombs during the novice period.,I'm afraid it's also the rhythm of the deletion and re-start.。
The knight of the Moclay family who had been saved by him during the day leaned over, and as soon as the fire flashed, he saw a humanoid monster split into two pieces by him, and the knight who took off his helmet so as not to affect his vision looked very young, a little tired but still laughed loudly: "Your Excellency Baron Prel! What a good warrior you are! ”
Shepard said lazily: "Knight Midor, it seems that your energy is still very strong, do you want to organize a counter-charge?" ”
Midor Moclay is the current Baron Mokre, the son of Andok Mokre, but he is not the eldest son, so he has no inheritance, but he is very talented, and when he was a mid-level warrior, he awakened the [Flame Blood] inherited by the family, and became the representative [Flame Knight] of the Moclay family, and obtained his own knight manor given by his father, but unfortunately as Shepard thought, the gifts of predecessors sometimes become a burden for future generations, and he awakened at the age of sixteen. Now at the age of twenty-two, he is still stuck at the peak of the intermediate level.
Mido shrank his head and sneered: "Your Excellency, don't be kidding, plus you, we only have less than thirty intermediate and above professionals who can still fight, and now, it is only a matter of time before the last line of defense is breached!" ”
Because he was saved by Shepard, coupled with the gap in strength, he was still very polite to Shepard, this young and brave knight is still very loveable, Shepard looked around when he heard this, and found that what he said was indeed right, ordinary soldiers who were not even professionals had already knelt almost, and at present they were barely able to maintain a total of three thousand people, but only a thousand people really supported the line, and the rest were the wounded and those who were barely rescued.
As for the seriously injured and those who can't be saved, the fate of the monsters polluted by the twisted power doesn't need to be captured.
"Damn, it's been almost two hours, have they found where the commanders of these monsters are hiding?" Shepard was also a little anxious in his heart, unless he risked breaking through with his full strength and being detected by the gods, otherwise the monster army still had three or four thousand in number, and even he had no chance of escaping if he was not inside, the only choice was to hide in the half-plane before being besieged, but in that case, his planning during this time would be useless.
Once the Eastern Route Army is defeated, even the Earl of Doom as the commander will not be pleased, but as long as they can survive this wave, with the support of the church, the Tassel Kingdom can peacefully annex the Amm Kingdom, and after the civil strife, the Tassel Kingdom, the queen and the council urgently need one thing to enhance their prestige and stabilize their power, and the meritorious men will get opportunities that have been unimaginable for a hundred years.
Although Shepard didn't care much about this, for him, it was the painful defeat itself that would make the true god clone even more unacceptable.
The battle line is shrinking step by step, the priests' magic has been used to the limit, and there are some areas where morale can no longer be locked, the private army and mercenaries really collapsed in an instant, even if there is a military law team to kill the deserters, it is useless, the monsters that broke through rushed forward, and dozens of collapsed soldiers were like travelers who fell into the swamp, leaving no trace except screaming.
"Look over there?!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and Shepard struck a strange monster with an arm as thick as an elephant's leg and an arm as thin as a wood, and the long sword didn't have time to retract, and turned over and kicked the heads of the two humanoid monsters to the back, before he had time to look up.
Like the lodging of a wheat field, the change suddenly broke out in the remaining army of more than 3,000 monsters, starting from a certain point, all the monsters suddenly frantically attacked indiscriminately, this kind of plague-like change spread in a few breaths, Shepard just hacked two monsters to death and saved a pikeman who fell to the ground with weak legs, and several monsters that rushed to the front suddenly began to attack each other.
"[Beep], they made it!"
The nobles were the first to react, and the dozen or so knights and nobles who were still supporting cheered loudly, and Shepard finally breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the pikeman on the ground up, and said casually: "Can you still stand?" Soldier. ”
The pikeman's haggard, bearded face had the simplicity of an honest peasant, and he gasped, and with his spear in his hands and arms he tried to support himself, and reluctantly replied, "My lord, I can still stand!" ”
"Very well, rest well, the battle is coming to an end." As he spoke, Shepard shot a humanoid monster that had been hit by other monsters in the head with a punch, such a bloody attack released a lot of grievances in his heart, and seeing that the chaos between the monsters was getting worse and worse, he began to shout for the private army and mercenaries who could still hold it to come closer, so as not to be happy and sad.
The remnants of the monster army were eventually wiped out in the infighting, and these humans, who could once be serfs, merchants, nobles, or soldiers, are now just twisted corpses, their souls polluted by the power of the void and they can't even go to the underworld, either purified by the world after death, or fall into the abyss and hell, becoming the most primitive soul maggots.
Shepard organized more than two hundred people to hold the last time, supporting the rest of the death squad to return, only twenty-three people were left in the hundred-man squad at the time of departure, and even more than half of the priests who joined were killed, and surprisingly not only did Jeffer come back alive, but three of the ten personal soldiers at the time of departure also returned, although one of them lost a leg, the other lost an arm, and only one person had a hole in his chest, but it was okay to come back completely.
