Not only did he not care, but he was very eager to find out the true source of the power of Tommar's bloodline, Shepard just casually warned him a few words, telling him to continue to hide himself, Tom Marnono agreed, seeing that the fleet was docking, everyone began to disembark, and Shepard did not call anyone to arrest him, and he finally let go of half of his heart.

"Wow!"

The griffin's imposing voice came from the sky, and Shepard, who was arranging for the camp and the return of the fleet with everyone, stopped talking, and then finished his words as if nothing had happened, and only at the end did he say very easily: "Let all those who have crossed the river be ready for battle, and the fleet will withdraw normally!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Count Locks immediately turned pale, and asked with some fear: "Your Excellency Prell, is there a kobold and a goblin?" ”

Shepard glanced at him and grinned to reveal a mouth full of white teeth: "Kobold? No, it's a cultist! ”

……

The 2,000 men who crossed the river first were in full array.

Half of the number, the serfs who had been conscripted on the orders of the lord were transferred by Shepard to guard twenty recruits of the Prell Command, that is, the guards of the original castle of the Salibotta family, who had been well trained and trained under Shepard for several months, so that they could take care of a thousand serfs was not a big problem.

The serfs were ordered to build temporary docks and dig trenches and other fortifications, and the warning of the steel-feathered griffin came in time, and there was not much vegetation on the north bank of the Esmere River that obscured the view, so when it spotted the cultist army approaching the riverbank, the other party was at least half a day's way away.

In the face of a big battle, it was naturally impossible to fight on their own, the largest number of spearmen dressed in leather armor and carried spears formed a frontal line of defense, the archers stood in the rear, and other troops armed with swords and shields or two-handed weapons were also arranged in suitable positions.

Shepard has always been not good at military formations, and battlefield command has always been his weakness, so it is no problem for him to lead the elite team to break through the battlefield, but fortunately, seeing through the griffin's sight that the cultists are also a group of rabble, he has some confidence to fill the number temporarily.

Except for some knights who stayed with their own subjects and soldiers, the rest of the nobles were all around Shepard, handing over the task of commanding the battle array to the temporarily promoted leader or the captain of his own guard, but Shepard's requirements for those in the formation were simple.

Half a day passed quickly, and the second fleet slowly left the north bank, the team of four thousand men was already a large number, and the narrow bank could no longer accommodate them, but Shepard thought of this when he ordered the serfs to dig the fortifications, and the main force of nearly three thousand men happened to be stationed in it.

In order to prevent the serfs from charging into battle, and unwilling to use them as cannon fodder, he ordered them to be transferred back to the rear, continued to strengthen the temporary docks, and took care of the wounded after the skirmish began.

In the distance, a row of dense and strange waves appeared, a landscape formed by countless inhuman cultists.

Shepard snorted coldly, and with his eyesight, he could already see that most of the individuals who formed the sea of people still maintained their human appearance, but either their eyes were crooked and their mouths were slanted, or their skin was pale and cracked, or their mouths were cracked, revealing sharp and hideous mouthparts that did not look like humans.

Others, or the body is huge, like hundreds of pounds of obese patients split the flesh and skin, turning the scarlet flesh and yellow fat upside down, disgusting and terrible; There are also not many people left, or their arms are as thick as pillars, and they are full of sharp teeth and eyes; Some of the upper bodies are like octopuses or jellyfish, and their tentacles are flying, and they are not human......

Hundreds of strange and terrifying species appeared in front of everyone, and even Shepard, who didn't know how many of these monsters he had killed in his previous life, felt very uncomfortable, let alone the soldiers who had never seen the appearance of these miserable people polluted by the monsters of the twisted void after the outbreak of the cultist rebellion.

Just seeing the appearance of the monster from a distance, the morale began to waver, and the whispers of panic resounded in the team, after all, most of them were recruits who had been trained urgently, so it was okay for them to face the humans, and at this time, facing the monster, they immediately let fear occupy their hearts.

At this time, even the suppression of the nobles was of little use, not to mention that most of those nobles were more unbearable than the soldiers, and there were several barons around Shepard who fell to the ground with a scream.

Seeing that his own side was in chaos and was about to collapse before the battle, Shepard, who had been calm as usual, glanced at the conspicuous group of people next to the military formation, and was calm and relaxed and did not rush to suppress everyone's negative emotions.

On one side of the military formation, more than a dozen priests wearing temple-style robes stood in one place, divided into several parts because of the different styles of robes and the holy emblems on their bodies, and from the holy emblems, they were the priests of the gods of justice, wealth, war, and suffering, the eyes of vigilance, and the gods of protection.

The priest's position comes from his gods, so the voice of this team is obviously in the hands of the three priests of powerful gods, the lavishly dressed and nouveau riche goddess priest saw the army not far away gradually fall into panic, the [silver coin messenger] chuckled: "The will of mortals is always so fragile, the kingdom of Amm has always been polluted by the church of evil gods, and when this turmoil is cleaned up, it is necessary to let the prestige of the righteous god be praised among the ignorant lambs." ”

The priest of the God of Justice, wearing shining armor over his robes, holding a mace and a steel shield in his hand, like a [judge] who has more warriors than priests, has a resolute face, and said coldly when he heard this: "Your Highnesses have agreed that it is time for the Kingdom of Amm to become history, and the Kingdom of Tesel has always been blessed with the glory of the righteous gods, so it can develop rapidly after the civil strife. ”

He suddenly turned his head again, looking at the priest of the god of war, who was fully armed and looked like a professional warrior than him, a powerful [war fighter], and his tone was straightforward and in the style of a warrior: "Everything on the battlefield is the realm of His Royal Highness the God of War, don't you want to make a move?" ”

The fighter wearing a close-fitting battle armor and a fighting machine laughed sullenly, and his voice was always dull when it came from under the helmet: "Since the year of chaos, I have ascended to the sky with the authority of war, and battle has become a part of the war. ”

He walked towards the army with several priests of the god of war behind him with his head held high, and the effect was immediate, as soon as he approached the military formation, everyone involuntarily calmed down, and the fighting spirit ignited like a fire, like a well-trained elite automatically gave way to the road, like a wave meeting a reef, the natural separation and natural closure, as the priests of the god of war came to Shepard and others through the military formation, the morale of the whole army was already greatly boosted!

Seeing the priests of the God of War coming to the command platform, Shepard twitched the corners of his eyes, and immediately led the nobles behind him to salute: "Thank you for your help, otherwise the army will definitely collapse without a fight." ”

The voice of the war fighter at the head was dull: "This is the divine power of my lord!" But it's not our credit, Your Excellency, I don't think you're good at commanding, so why don't you leave it to me?" ”

Shepard's heart moved slightly, and he immediately responded: "Your Excellency sees it well, I do feel powerless about the affairs of the battlefield, and I will hand over the command." ”

As soon as the words came out, the faces of the people behind him changed, but Shepard handed over the command to the God of War Priest as usual, and retreated into the ranks of the nobles behind him very consciously.

The lords looked at him with different eyes, and the meaning was very complex, some sympathetic, some puzzled, and naturally some gloating...... But I don't know how Shepard cares about these in his heart, in addition to some of the doppelgangers of the true god are burdened with heavy responsibilities, most of the time they are still playing the world, occasionally focusing on cultivating a few eye-catching talents, or giving mortals who are destined to meet some unforgettable experiences, such a small thing is just a game in his eyes.

Besides, he has a special status, and I hope that the priests of the gods don't pay attention to him, but fortunately, the high-end combat power of the Church of the Gods is commanding the main force near François, and the highest one who is assigned to help the Eastern Route Army is only the senior priest of the God of War.

"Didn't the Church of Your Highnesses contain the internal strife of the cultists? Why are there so many cultists here? Look at the number, at least thousands, right?! ”

Someone on the side muttered softly, and Shepard didn't notice who was talking, but everyone had this kind of doubt.

One of the [War Priests] behind the war fighters seemed to hear the question, and turned his head and said coldly: "This group of cultists did not run out of the encirclement, but came from the vicinity of Esmirtaran. ”

When everyone heard this, their brains immediately understood the meaning behind this sentence, and some even showed joy on their faces.

The other priests who followed him also arrived at this time, and some of them heard the explanation of the war priest, and then saw the joy on the nobleman's face, and immediately pursed their lips in disdain.

The army of cultists, which has not been released for a long time, is finally getting closer and closer, and the particularity of the old continent makes it impossible for the army to form a model like the commander of the three armies after all.

Once engaged, no matter how old the war fighter is in command, it is useless, and he is ready for battle, and these high-end combat forces are the last hole cards in a war, and they can often change the direction of the battlefield with the power of one person at a critical moment.

The nobles' private armies, mercenaries, and conscripts shouted and killed, either for the sake of courage or for the sake of killing, and the left and right were blinded by blood, and no one cared where the blood came from, whether it was their own or someone else's.
