Chapter 457: A Brief Encounter
Erza said it very loudly, loud enough for everyone to hear every word he said, he did it on purpose, pretending to be emotional, and he managed to make his words resonate in the hearts of the angel warriors on both sides of Howard and the five elders who were hesitating and not knowing how to be good.
The human psyche is very strange, when they don't know what to do, if someone points out a seemingly correct path, people will be easily affected greatly, and at this time, these hesitant angel warriors are also like this, under the influence of Elzak's words, the scales in their hearts invisibly go to the past in the direction that Elzac has guided.
After hearing Elzac's words, the angels under Howard's subordinates who had not moved in the first place were even more determined that they could not make a move, and most of the angels who took steps retreated, leaving only a few of Howard's diehards, stunned and didn't know what to do. He looked helplessly at Howard. The angels on the side of the five angel clan elders also stood motionless in place, with complicated expressions.
And Howard was also completely stunned because of Elzac's words, he never thought that Elzac would not listen to his orders at such a critical moment.
His mouth opened, and he was about to say something, but Elzac suddenly moved, he approached Howard's side, and then hit Howard on the back of the head with a knife in his right hand.
The angels who did not participate in the battle were all in an uproar when they saw this, and the angel warriors who were loyal to Howard shouted angrily and surrounded them, but Elzak was unhurried to hold Howard's soft and fallen body, and said in an apologetic tone: "Patriarch, I'm really sorry, I'm also a last resort, otherwise, you will definitely not leave here."
Then he turned to the angels and said, "It is too dangerous here now, otherwise how can the patriarch let us take him away?" In the current situation, Elder Pierce and they insist on making a move, and the patriarch is embarrassed to stay, that is, there is no way to explain to the guests he invited, and there is no way to convince Elder Pierce to do it, and I can't watch the patriarch and his own people do it! So I had to do it! We kept the patriarch away. Avoid being affected by the battle! ”
Hearing him say this, the angels were relieved, and at this time, Gillian and the other five elders also came over with their men, and they also agreed with Elzac's words, so the angels on both sides would unite and take Howard, who was already unconscious, and began to move into the distance.
On the other side, Pierce, who had been secretly following Elzac's movements, saw that the other party had stunned Howard, and therefore let Howard's angels leave, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered the angels who had completed the encirclement to start attacking.
In Pierce's opinion, although the two sides were about the same number at this time, they wanted to take these Negans. It should be an easy thing to do, even if there seem to be a few magicians among them.
As long as he managed to contain Esreina and the twenty or so most powerful archangels, he didn't believe that the Negan soldiers riding on the poisonous scorpion lion could resist the onslaught of his own angel warriors.
So after he gave the order, he prepared to stand aside with a few other elders and wait to see the tragic fate of these Negans.
But he really underestimated the combat effectiveness of Chen Jian and his party, and underestimated Chen Jian's ability to deal with it too much.
Unlike Howard, who was still thinking about resolving this matter peacefully, Jian Chen thought from the beginning that tonight's battle would not be avoided no matter what, because he found that Esrena's grandfather seemed to have been overshadowed.
The guys who came out at the end were simply prepared, and their purpose was supposed to be to deal with Howard, so how could they act according to what Howard said?
Therefore, as early as when Howard and the other party were spitting at each other, Chen Jian had already observed the development of the situation and began to prepare for the battle. Under his orders, Barty, the last trump card, was very aggrieved and ordered not to make a move, keeping his little magic power in case of emergency, while the other magicians quietly began to slowly inject magic power into the magic wand, ready to launch a magic attack at any time.
Then Jian Chen asked the manticore cavalry and Esreina and other angels to shrink the formation, and shrunk the magic free space to a very small range that was just enough to protect his small group of people.
Before Pierce's words of ordering the attack were completely settled, Jian Chen had already commanded the presidential guard to take the initiative to attack.
This time, just in case, each of the three masters of the Presidential Guard's magician squad was given a spell of the kind obtained from the Rigner pirates, and the magic sealed on it were "Meteor Fire Rain Chain Lightning" and "Ice Burst". It is all range attack magic, Chen Jian's order, the three magic masters all waved the magic staff in their hands, and the three magic spells that were ready to be launched were immediately released, and they attacked indiscriminately in this area centered on their own group of people With the divine power of the dragon king, they have no fear, and they can rest assured and boldly pursue the greatest kill
effect
The angel clan couldn't learn magic, so naturally they couldn't sense the fluctuations of the magic element, and because the three magic masters used magic wands to cast magic and didn't hear the sound of them chanting spells, they were immediately beaten.
Although the archangels are strong enough to single-handedly take on the huge black dragon, they challenge the black dragon with excellent martial arts and agile body in order to win with small fights and big battles, and they can be said to be the best in hand-to-hand combat, but in terms of dealing with magic attacks, they are insufficient, and they are not like the black dragons who can use magic to avoid weight loss and hard attack of the enemy.
Therefore, within the scope of the blows of these three magics, the angels who were recruited were all injured and disgraced, some of the more unlucky ones even died on the spot, and some were also seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness.
The identity of the elders of the eight angel clans such as Pierce is too obvious, and it is not far from Chen Jian and his party, Chen Jian secretly hates them for ruining their own big things, so that a magic master uses ice blasting to include them in the scope of attack, Pierce They are elders, although they were also amazing in martial arts back then, but they have been pampered in the clan for a long time over the years, and their skills are not as good as before, plus the incident happened suddenly, they couldn't avoid it, all of them were hit, although they were not fatally injured, But the whole body was shot all over by dense magic ice crystals, and a gorgeous dress immediately became a hole comparable to a beggar on the side of the road, not to mention, the body was also covered with injuries ranging from severity to severity, if it weren't for the freezing effect of magic ice crystals, I was afraid that the blood would have flowed like a bloody person, and a pair of wings on his back were also scarred.
Before Pierce and the others recovered from this sudden magic attack, a group of alliance angel warriors led by Esreina had already rushed out at the moment when the magic disappeared, and Esreina was already furious at this time, and saw her grandfather being knocked unconscious and taken away by Elzac, and she shot mercilessly in an emotional state, a steel long sword slashed left and right, and in the blink of an eye, there were three things. The archangel, wounded in the magical attack, fell under her sword.
The rest of the archangel warriors who belong to the presidential guard are also not slow, most of them have followed Catherine to fight in the north and south, they are already tenacious, and their combat experience is extremely rich, although they were a little shaken by the enemy of their clan at first, but they were strengthened by Aisrena's words, and they no longer hesitated. And everything they just saw also made their hearts hold back an evil fire, and now they are all ruthless, against those elders who are raised in the clan, although their martial arts skills are high but they have not been in battle, and they are not in battle formation, and they are as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, and they have killed and injured more than half of the opponent's manpower in an instant.
Although the manticore cavalry did not charge like their angel clan companions, they just guarded Chen Jian's side tightly, but they were not idle.
They usually practice, riding on poisonous scorpion lions. In the midst of rapid flight, it is necessary to shoot at targets that are also flying rapidly, and at this time stop in place, and the object of the attack is those hostile angels who have been stunned by magic, of course, it is handy. In addition, they were originally selected from the alliance army, and they also had actual combat experience, and their grasp of the fighters was quite accurate, and everyone shot as many arrows in an instant, and they also shot some enemies.
Where have the angels on Pierce's side experienced such a formation, their martial arts skills are indeed amazing. Even those angel clan warriors who joined the emperor ** may not be their opponents in terms of martial arts alone, but it is a pity that they have stayed in the clan for a long time. Following Pierce, these elders, although there are hard exercises every day, but the practice is not comparable to actual combat, they lack sufficient ability to deal with emergencies, and the battle formation also pays attention to group cooperation rather than individual skills.
When they came back to their senses and were about to fight with all their might, Jian Chen's side gave an order, but the archangel warriors on the alliance side quickly retreated. Once again, a formation was formed, and the battle was ready.
Pierce looked around in pain, only to see that the surrounding environment had been destroyed by the other party's magic, and the trees that were once dense were now broken branches and leaves, some of which were still burning with magical flames. There was black smoke, the flat terrain was pitted, and the ground was littered with the corpses of many of their own soldiers.
After a little counting, he couldn't help but gasp. Because he found that in this short confrontation, his side actually lost more than half of his manpower. The rest are all wounded, and none of them are intact.
On closer inspection, the other party seemed to be unharmed, but there was just a little more blood on his body, and looking at the other party's appearance, those blood stains were obviously not left by their own injuries, this discovery made Pierce begin to wonder if he was dreaming now, a real nightmare.
"How is this possible?. He said as if groaning to another Angel Clan elder beside him, who was also dumbfounded.
