Chapter 166: Breaking through at the risk of death
Of course, Herbert would not be stupid enough to put his elite forces directly at the front, but arranged a group of cannon fodder first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThese guys are mostly silver-level paladins, mixed with some priests who are good at long-range attacks.
They are arranged here, in the name of "feints to attract the attention of the enemy", but in fact, they are used to consume the opponent's strength. After the two sides have been fighting for a while, the remaining elite forces will rush up again, and they will wipe out the enemy who has already consumed less than half of their energy.
The silver-level paladins who rushed forward naively thought that their elite forces would rush to support them right after, but this was not the case. Herbert, who was hiding in the shadows, observed the situation here, but never gave the attack order to the gold-level masters who were lying in ambush beside him. These gold-level paladins are the treasures at the bottom of his box, and of course they will not be taken out rashly.
After a few minutes of disparity in strength, the paladin's squad led by Luo Fu had eliminated a small half of the centaurs. At this time, Herbert in the shadows finally waved his hand, and the gold-level paladins surrounded him on three sides.
Luo Fu's side, which originally had a clear advantage, saw the paladins who suddenly appeared, and immediately understood that the situation was not so simple. Regardless of the strength of these guys for the time being, being surrounded on three sides will definitely be detrimental to their own side, so Luo Fu gave an order, and the paladins of the squad turned their horses' heads one after another, blocked the front with the shield of holy light, and broke straight towards the archer's position.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
Most of the paladins who are archers have limited energy, and some of them are even only bronze paladins, but their wrist strength is on the higher side. These guys quickly shoot arrows with their bows, but all the arrows fall off the enemy by the time they touch the enemy's body. Seeing that many horses were stepping towards him, the archers dodged one after another.
Herbert was furious. Originally, according to his arrangement, it should be enough to wipe out all the enemy troops or capture them alive in the form of siege, but he missed the side, and he didn't expect these guys to dare to go against the rain of arrows.
But Herbert was ready for both. Looking at the team of horses that were gradually moving away, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
"Boom!"
The Holy Light Bullets that were secretly arranged on the path to enter the town were not only the one just now, but there were many. There is a certain regularity in the arrangement of these holy light bullets, and your own centaurs can carefully avoid them according to the rules. Herbert's team, of course, didn't know any of this, so they were unfortunate enough to be hit.
The horses of the two paladins were immediately overturned, and the explosives containing the pieces of metal were powerful, and several paladins next to them were hit by the attack, and their bodies were injured by fragments. Only Luo Fu's body was not damaged because he was wearing the Holy Light Shield at all times, but the war horse's legs were also pierced into a few fragments, and blood gushed out.
"Shhhh
Everyone grabbed the reins of their horses tightly and looked around. The paladins in the rear were already about to catch up, and the front was categorically impossible.
"Let's kill back!" Luo Fu said suddenly.
Everyone stared at him with wide eyes, but Luo Fu's eyes were very determined: "Walking forward must be a dead end, but if we really want to break through, we just need to highlight a point from the crowd behind." Half of our men will probably die, but the next half will be able to escape from the encirclement. When we return to Ontaret, tell the Bishop about the situation here, and ask the Bishop to avenge the death of our brother. ā
This was said generously, and the other paladins were all people who had been deeply brainwashed by the Light Faith, and these people had obviously been ignited with a surging passion, and exclaimed, "We are willing to do anything to repay the favor of the Holy Spirit, even if it is to give our lives!" ā
"Okay, let's rush over!"
Luo Fu shouted loudly, raising his sword high, and two hundred paladins rushed forward like a raging tide. Soon the tide turned into a sharp sword, plunging straight into the stream of people who were also rushing towards them.
Herbert, who was hiding in the shadows, was shocked, although this old guy had experienced many battles, but this way of breaking through still made him feel a strong shock.
Equally surprised are Piger and Annie, who watch the battle in the underground abyss with the compound eyes of a fly golem. Although Luo Fu was the person they arranged, they had no intention of coming to the rescue, because from the perspective of the overall situation, Herbert and Harvey should not be allowed to know that there was a Night Race involved in the battle between the two light camps.
"The power of faith is really great, and it can make these bright races brave to die." Anne sighed.
However, the vicious dog, who had just finished eating barbecue and was resting on the edge of the magma pool, did not think so: "In my opinion, people without faith are more powerful, because they can make those who have faith die for them." ā
It was a tricky thing to say, but Anne smacked it carefully, and felt that it made sense. Because at this time, she could see clearly, although Luo Fu righteously made everyone believe his appeal, but this guy had been hiding at the end of the whole team, just using the paladins in front of him as his own shield.
"Brothers, we fought with them!"
Seeing that the encirclement ahead had shown signs of loosening, Luo Fu hurriedly cheered up the paladins who broke through. At this time, there were already many corpses of war horses and paladins on the battlefield of battle, and blood flowed from these corpses, staining a large area red. Some paladins with broken arms and legs screamed in a pool of blood, but no one cared about them, and even the enemy refused to give them a sword to end their lives, because all eyes were on those who were capable of fighting.
Herbert, even from a distance, quickly saw the intentions of these guys, and the purpose of their breakthrough was not to allow more people to escape, but only to keep a "messenger" to pass on the situation here. The old guy's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately said to the paladin guard next to him: "Go over and tell them that you can't let go of a person no matter what!" ā
The paladins rode away, but apparently it was too late. The entire encirclement was torn open by Luo Fu's paladin team, and several fast horses crossed out of it and galloped straight ahead.
"Archer, hurry up and release the arrows!"
The paladin guard shouted. A rain of arrows rained down with shouts, killing two or three horses, but a small number of them escaped. (To be continued.) )
