Chapter 122: Templar Troopers Killer Strike
The first four games had their own merits, but it was the last one that Edward was looking forward to.
The Templar team from the Church of Light confronts the Southern School of Magic from the Griffon Empire.
In terms of background, the Church of Light, as the state religion of the Griffin Empire, is the number one super church on the mainland, and it can be said that it completely crushes the Southern Academy.
But it is precisely the little-known Southern Academy of Magic that is the hatred of the Church of Light.
The exorcism war launched by the Church of Light back then wanted to drive all atheists like magicians (job-grabbers) out of the Griffon Empire.
And because the Griffin Empire was first supported by the Church of Light, and clearly stated that it respected the Church of Light as a country, it couldn't make a move.
As the southern region with the most magicians, several southern nobles represented by the Thorn Rose family have the courage to jump out to confront the Church of Light.
Later, although they were still defeated by the Church of Light, the Southern Church found the Silver City-State.
After that, the silver city-state intervened strongly, and the two fought a big war in the south, and the Church of Light suffered heavy losses.
Taking this opportunity, the royal family of the Griffin Empire, which was already very jealous of the Church of Light, ran out to make peace, so that the two families stopped fighting and made peace.
The southern region of the Griffon Empire has only ensured its mage lineage, and it is also very resistant to the activities of the Church of Light to spread the faith.
Therefore, the southern region has always been a pain point for the Church of Light.
And the Southern Academy of Magic knew from the toes that it was founded by the group of mages who opposed the Church of Light.
Isn't it pure disgusting to put on a team to deal with the Church of Light at this time?
Of course, Edward cared about this not only because of the above-mentioned bloody secrets, but also because there were a few people he knew.
For example, Freya and her cousin Karin, and Zafra, the braggart tease.
This guy always says he's great, and this time against the powerful Templar team, Edward, wants to see how good this guy is.
Purely judging by the current strength show, Edward felt that the Templar team had won.
Rihanna, the goddess of dawn, a staunch warrior of light, can fight against thousands of troops with a sword and a shield, which can be said to be a very good MT.
Angel Eye Adelaide, the god of the dragon of light, and the blessing magic used by her is simply a super amplifier.
There is also a Templar of Ryan, who is one of the few Knights of Divine Grace, who is always able to heal themselves with the divine magic bestowed by the gods, so they are a little more difficult than Rihanna. The Grace Knight is perhaps one of the most durable classes. (P3)
The strength of the other four is not weak, on the contrary, their strength is actually the strength of the top 12 of the Silver City-State, but it is slightly less than the previous three.
On the other hand, the Southern Academy of Magic was against the Time Academy in the last game, and as we all know, the Time Academy is the lowest team battle strength among all the academies, although Ike fought to the death, it was not enough to force out too many hole cards of the Southern Academy.
After all, like Zafra, a tease, he can't even go, and if he wins, he knows how bad the combat power of the Time Academy is.
The Southern Academy sounds like it represents most of the nobles in the south, but in fact, there are only two families belonging to the Eight Marquises, the Thorn Rose family and the Langston family. Among them, the Langston family is still known as warriors rather than mages.
As for the other two marquisate families, the White Swan Turnavis family is the queen's family, and the Firefox Fox family is a family that has always controlled the financial power of the empire and has taken root in the imperial capital. The children of both families are on the Griffon's Heart team, not in Southern Academy.
This also led to the fact that the team sent by the Southern Academy basically belonged to the Thorn Rose family.
Five of the seven were from the Thorn Rose family, and the other two were from the Langston family, and the other was simply from an unknown family. Of course, the five from the Thorn Rose family are not purely from the Thorn Rose family, and there are also the Thorn Rose family that was favored by the Thorn Rose family and was forcibly married. The Thorn Rose family also relied on Southern College to obtain a large number of talents and other small and medium-sized families.
Although the Thorn Rose family is indeed ranked high among the eight marquis families, it is a little weaker than the dragon spear team composed of the four marquis families.
And it's a lot worse than a behemoth like the Church of Light.
In addition, depending on the profession, the time to grow up is also different.
Warriors only need to practice martial arts, and warriors with talent and resources grow the fastest.
Archers need to be more demanding and train for a longer period of time.
The longest profession is mage, because mage requires a lot of knowledge, which cannot be mastered by training, but must be accumulated over time.
Therefore, in this aspect, you can see the essence of the major city-states, and being able to cultivate such a young high-level professional mage is simply a fantasy for a mage in the wild.
For example, the promotion method that Edward experienced from the undead before, these ancient academies must have reserves, and this is the advantage of the big forces.
Of all the professions, pastors are the most advantageous, and don't forget that they are pro-son professions.
As long as the god they believe in is generous enough and he has enough favor, it is the rocket-like upgrade speed.
As the largest church in Ashan, can the Church of Light be weak in this selection?
All seven of them were senior professionals.
On the contrary, there are three intermediate level professionals on the Thorn Rose side, and only four advanced ones.
Being able to have four high-level professionals is already the result of the deep heritage of the Thorn Rose family.
In this way, from the top of the senior professionals, the Southern Academy of Magic is also at a disadvantage.
At the same time, the Sanctuary side is the configuration of the three knights and the three priests, and the Southern Academy side is the configuration of the six mages and one warrior, and this kind of suppression in the formation is also unfavorable to the Southern Academy.
With so many factors combined, it was impossible for the Southern Academy of Magic to win no matter how you looked at it.
But before Safra came on the field, he still swore that he could win, I really don't know where his confidence came from?
The three paladins held large shields and rode the light war horse and directly launched a charge, facing the enemies of pure mages, they naturally need to be pressed in close quarters, otherwise in terms of the destructive power of mages, they are incomparable to the output priests.
At this time, Safra made a move, and with one hand of the ice freezing technique, the ground was easily frozen into ice.
The thickness of the ice is not bad, and the war horse will definitely fall because of slipping when walking on it, and judging from the effect, Safra's ice magic attainment is definitely not shallow.
However, the war horses under the crotches of the paladins are bright war horses, noble war horses with celestial blood.
A golden light appeared under his feet, and he didn't feel it at all when he stepped on the ice, and he felt a little like stepping on the snow without a trace.
Safra didn't care, and three ice wall techniques rose from the ground.
The paladins drove the power of light to wrap around the horse, and the golden streamer directly shattered the ice wall and rushed over.
The dazzling golden light, accompanied by the broken ice cubes of the ice wall, reflected a brilliant halo.
Paladins' charges are the most difficult to control of all classes.
But at this time, all the bright war horses let out a terrible wail, and a slender knife cut suddenly opened in the abdomen, and the blood and organs of the large basin all spurted out.
On the ground not far away, three transparent blade-like ice flakes revealed their tracks in the ice mist.
There is not a trace of blood on it, which shows how sharp this ice blade is, and with the sprinting force of the war horse, the wound will not crack even in a short period of time.
But as the horse galloped violently, the wound that was cut like a scalpel was directly cracked.
The Bright War Horse fell to the ground weakly.
Unoblivious to his imminent fall, a knight of light persistently pierced his spear through the chest of Safra, who was standing at the front of the group.
With the impact of the riding spear and the impact of the war horse, Zafra is absolutely certain to die.
But this time, although the rifle was accurately stabbed, Safra did not seem to react, there was no bleeding or pain, and even the knight felt as if he had stabbed in the air.
"Illusions!" By the time the knight realized that it was too late, a basin-like ice pick knocked the knight to the ground.
It stands to reason that Safra would never have had time to use another spell unless she used flashing.
But this illusion was really not used by Zafra.
When the Ice Wall blocked the paladin's view, Freya cast an illusion spell on all the members, replicating their fake avatars, so that the knights' attacks were useless.
Chloe, the flame mage of the Southern Academy, then also used the Flame Fireball Technique to smash the paladin.
Under the double blow of ice and fire, this paladin is still strong, and the holy shield technique on his body makes this knight a little strong who can't be killed at all.
On the other hand, Ryan, the god knight, is entangled by another earth mage, Herisel, who is a guardian knight, and the shield and short sword in his hand are more inclined to defense, and the sluggishness and swamp spells of earth magic can hold him back.
Freya relied on the illusion of water magic and cooperated with Charlene, the only warrior in the team, to deal with the last paladin of the punishment system.
Charlene Langston is the tall girl with a wheat complexion that Edward saw last time in the Preston offensive and defensive battles.
As another cross-race hybrid of the Langston family, Charlene comes from the blood of the barbarians, which makes her an extraordinary talent in martial arts.
Although the Langston family's famous golden trident was not held in his hand, a heavy iron spear made Charlene wield a tiger.
The Knight of Punishment was originally holding a holy hammer, and his attack range was much shorter than Charlene's, not to mention that there was a water mage harassing him behind.
Ice and fire, ice and fire, even if the paladin is a small strong, but he can't last too long in the face of the siege of the two mages.
Leona, the goddess of dawn, was late, after all, Zafra had caused the ice and ice walls to take her heavy armor a lot of time.
Safra immediately entangled Leona, and the slowing effect of the ice magic continued to accumulate on Leona's body.
Because in the previous competition, Leona's strength was really perverted.
Although this Goddess of Dawn is wearing heavy armor and has a very slow attack speed, her attack power is not outstanding.
But she has a very strong ability to control, and her golden shield can always make enemies stunned by the dazzling light.
So this spoiler must be restrained.
In other words, Safra's ability is simply amazing.
From the speed of a series of spells, to the insidious ability to use the sight of the ice wall, and with that terrifying ice blade, he was able to deal with the three light horses.
The comprehension of spellcasting and the ability to analyze the enemy here definitely require a lot of computing power.
Zafra had apparently studied Leona's technique.
So he summoned a frost shield, the smooth ice shield was like a mirror, easily reflecting Leona's light magic.
Due to the asymmetry of intelligence on the Templars' side, it is clear that they are not at all defenseless against the sudden appearance of Safra.
Of the three priests in the back, Adelaide is constantly replenishing the blood of two of the paladins.
The other two priests are summoning creatures of light to join the battlefield.
But at this time, an enemy swooped out from the shadows, and the dagger in his hand slashed into Adelaide's body.
No one thought that one of the six mages in the team would be a shadow mage, and that it was also an assassin and a mage.
Evelyn is the name of the Shadow Mage, and she is also the strongest mage of the Thorn Rose.
However, she had been following a strong man in a secret place to learn magic, and only recently returned to her family.
Although she played in the last game, she didn't show too much ability.
But no one knew that it was her fatal blow hidden in various spells that killed Ike.
The cunning Evelyn is absolutely confident when it comes to assassination.
Concealed does not approach its prey, nor does it exude a murderous aura.
At the same time, he will not show mercy when he shoots, and use all his strength to pursue one-hit killing.
Although Adelaide, the "Angel Eye", has the gift of the Dragon of Light, he definitely has a super high talent in divine arts.
But she is kind-hearted, but she has little experience with the enemy.
She is the object of favor of the entire Church of Light, and no one will be cruel to her.
Therefore, she is not very experienced in combat, and she has no ability to resist Evelyn's deadly attack.
The two young priests next to him were no better than Adelaide, because they were both children of high-ranking priest families, and fighting on the front line was not an option for priests.
The Guardian Knights are responsible for the safety of the priests, and the priests only need to cast their blessings.
Perhaps the long-standing Church of Light has to admit that they have also lost the courage of the pastors who carried a hammer and shouted the name of the Light.
Today's priests may be more concerned with fighting for power and winning over the greedy and stupid aristocracy than with going to war, because there is no battlefield where they are needed. Those heresies have the inquisition and those indiscriminate guys to solve it.
Maybe that's where Safra's confidence lies.
After Evelyn kills Adelaide, she discovers that the other two priests are just standing stupidly, so she easily solves the three priests.
As soon as the priest died, the remaining knights simply could not turn the tables.
What's more, Karin, who had been holding back her magnifying moves, successfully summoned a Thunder Elemental Commander (a fifth-level upper).
"Win!" Edward shouted happily because he had quietly bought Southern College in an underground casino and won.
Originally, Edward was not optimistic about Southern Academy, but the odds of the Templar team were too low, and Edward felt that it was good to have Zafra and Freya under the friendly sponsorship, and if he lost, he would not lose much.
"Special meow, I should have pressed more at that time." A certain Grande said in pieces. (To be continued.) )
