"March—"

Two thousand players lined up in this dark space.

Blood Eagle and Bussman each led a thousand men, and they followed closely behind the Purple Dragon Guard and advanced towards the Dark Temple.

The two Darkguards were incapable of doing so, and were stopped by Udic and Alva, respectively.

As the pace deepened, the fog around the body became thicker and thicker, and at this time, the players present should have received the same message: "Affected by [Desperate Dark Air]." ”

"[Darkness of Despair] (Negative): Bane's temple is exuding an evil aura in the land, and all creatures close to the temple are subject to a -2 impairment of immunity except for his followers."

This negative status can be regarded as canceling out Alva's [Morale Boost] aura.

There is a commotion in the Twilight Side, which is then suppressed by Blood Eagle and Bussman. The two hundred purple dragon guards were in uniform heavy armor, each with a narrow and sharp scimitar, and a large metal shield engraved with the mark of the purple dragon on their left hand.

In addition, this elite team also has a one-handed heavy crossbow hanging on each person's back. Players have backpacks to place items, but Native soldiers can only bear the weight of these equipment by virtue of their constitution and weight. Weight-bearing training is a compulsory part of the aboriginal regular army, and the Purple Dragon Guards guard the Lord's Mansion on a daily basis, and the training in this event is even more severe, and if two hundred guards are holding a tower shield at this time, the Charles will not be surprised in the slightest.

"Keep going!"

Charles walked behind the Purple Dragon Guards array, commanding two hundred soldiers in front.

Gradually. The temple was revealed in the dark mist.

In fact, the temples of the gods are all similar in style, with a large area of symmetrical stone columns supporting the triangular dome, and at this moment standing under the long stone steps of the temple. Looking up at this magnificent temple, humans would feel small.

Two mountain-sized statues stand in front of the temple, almost as high as the temple's triangular dome.

One statue is an image of a monarch wearing a crown and holding a sword. However, the face of the statue was full of hideousness and cruelty, especially the sword in his hand, and there was a faint cry of death.

This represents one of Bane's priesthoods—tyranny.

And another statue. It was the image of a cloth-robed mage, but the eyes were deliberately inlaid with blood-colored crystals. It was overflowing with hatred and malice. This represents Bane's second priesthood—hatred.

There are no walls around, and the pillars like primeval jungle are filled with the faint light of lamps and candles.

The atmosphere was dead.

Twilightblade's legion is two thousand men, plus two hundred purple dragon guards. It seems to be a large number of people, but looking at this open temple, it still seems lonely and empty.

“…… It's too big! ”

Charles retracted his gaze, his eyes faintly terrifying, "Compared to those temples of great divine power and good gods on the surface, it is not much more than that...... How many years have these guys been lurking in Arabe? Such a project, Arabe officials did not even notice in the slightest. ”

Meloti followed him, and her expression was extremely gloomy when she heard the words.

Milman retreats in the Mage's Tower, where she is the true Lord's House. The one who manages the day-to-day affairs of the realm. A group of rats built a large temple right under their noses, and it was normal for Meloti to be upset. Maybe my heart is full of anger.

"Damn the cultist!"

"Damn it!" Meloti gritted her teeth.

Fortunately, the sword mage was still calm, and although his eyes were full of anger, he did not break away from the queue and rushed into the temple alone.

"Flank attack."

Charles beckoned the Blood Eagle and Bussman to the front, pointed to the sides of the temple and said, "You each bring a thousand people over, and I will bring two hundred purple dragon guards to attack the front. ”

"Yes." Blood Eagle and Bussman nodded.

That's when Twilight Blade's training camp effect is reflected. After Blood Eagle and Bussman returned, they conveyed the order to the regimental commander and captain below, and it only took three or four minutes. Two flank assault corps arrived at the intended location.

"Don't be left behind."

"There may be a lot of enemies in the temple."

After saying a word to Yuffie and the others, Charles gestured to Meloti again. He shouted: "Purple Dragon Guard, march—"

"Frontal assault!"

Without any extra nonsense, two hundred well-trained soldiers raised their large metal shields in their left hands and stepped up the temple steps in unison.

……

In the temple.

"They're in!"

An exemplary pastor Bane shouted to the surrounding believers who were rioting on the left and right: "We have been cornered, and behind us is the altar of my Lord Bane. ”

"They must be stopped here!"

"No one can be allowed to break into the altar!"

The priest accentuated his tone and said in a deep voice.

The believers hastily assembled by the temple tonight were a group of devout believers, including indigenous adventurers and mercenaries, as well as civilians and merchants, from all walks of life.

These devotees may have very different identities, but all of them possess high martial arts, as can be seen from their cold eyes, powerful arms, and calloused palms.

Obviously, the temple will send priests and Templars to train the devout in martial arts, otherwise the vast majority of civilians will not have the quality of martial arts.

There were about seven or eight hundred devout followers, and in addition to this, there was also a formation of 100 Templar Knights, all of whom had a near-exemplary professional rank, and were led by a dark exemplary Overseer.

"Knights, come with me and swear to protect the temple to the death!"

The Dark Overseer raised his two-handed sword and roared.

The knights turned around and followed the Dark Overseers and marched towards the front of the temple. The exemplary pastor led the group of godly believers in the temple to prepare for the response.

The Great War is imminent!

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Charles had just commanded the Purple Dragon Guards to cross the last step of the stairs and ascend to the temple platform when a rain of arrows shot out without warning.

"Shield!" Charles drank.

In fact, there was no need to command, the Zilong guards had already prepared, and the first two rows of soldiers quickly built a shield wall about three meters high, blocking all the crossbow arrows fired from this round, and no one was injured by the arrows.

"Shoot back!" Seeing this, Charles issued a second command.

Boom.

The purple dragon guards in the back rows inserted the scimitar back into the scabbard, and with a neat movement, he removed the one-handed heavy crossbow from his back and held it in his right hand, at this time, the soldiers in the first two rows of shields retreated to the wings, making room, and the soldiers in the back fired a volley of crossbow arrows at the command of Charles.

The crunch of clanging bells resounded inside the temple.

The crossbow bolts were either shot at the shields of the Templars, or shot at Roman columns more than ten meters high, and the sparks sputtered out after the arrows collided with hard objects, one after another in the dark environment.

Charles didn't expect much from this rain of arrows, and he expected the formation of Templars to emerge from the darkness in their entirety.

Still, the leading Dark Overseer raised an eyebrow slightly.

The priest did not have the pride to believe that his command could outperform the Native Overseer. The other party is undoubtedly a role model, and he is also a sword general. This is an advanced class for Overseers.

The thief captures the king first, and the man shoots the horse first.

By the time he saw the Overseer and the well-trained Templar formation, Charles had already figured out what to do.

"Meloti, the Overseer has been handed over to you, don't kill him, but try to interfere with him so that he doesn't have a chance to command the Templars......" Charles whispered to the swordsman.

"Huh?"

Meloti raised her eyebrows and said in surprise: "Alva said, there is another exemplar lurking nearby, and he may be staring at you......"

The meaning of the sword mage is very simple, you don't want to die?

Now that Charles is a role model by her side, if she leaves to deal with the Dark Overseers, Charles will undoubtedly be exposed to the blades of the Lurkers, and could die at any time.

However, Charles smiled at the beautiful eyes of the sword mage, and said, "I am free to measure. Only by defeating this group of Templars can we destroy the Temple. ”

"Time is of the essence."

The priest blocked Meloti's words with four more words. The sword mage looked at him deeply and said in a deep voice, "Then be careful yourself, and the Overseer will be handed over to me!" ”

With that, Meloti stopped, drew her rune rapier, and chanted a spell.

"Attack!"

"Defend the Temple!"

The Dark Overseers led the knight formation, and the Charr advanced with the Purple Dragon Guard. In terms of average rank, the Purple Dragon Guards are slightly one or two class levels lower than the Templars, but they are twice as numerous and numerically superior. Therefore, at this time, Charles had no timidity, and shouted: "Rush-"

Ten steps apart.

As soon as the voice fell, the two hundred purple dragon guards suddenly accelerated their pace, and after running two or three steps, they accelerated their charge one by one, and even so, the purple dragon guards who launched the charge still maintained a complete formation.

"Bang ......"

This is a high-intensity collision of shield to shield.

The Purple Dragon Guards in the first row engaged the Templar Knights, and with the explosive power of the ten-meter charge, the Purple Dragon Guards gained an advantage at the beginning of the engagement, and the Templars in the front row were repelled by the shield and were unstable.

The second row of purple dragon guards followed, swinging their long, sharp scimitars, slicing through thick armor and tearing bloody wounds on the bodies of several Templars.

"Roar—"

The first hand was overshadowed, and the Dark Overseer roared angrily, letting out a rousing battle cry: "Stabilize the battle line for me!" Solid formation! ”

The Overseer didn't choose to fight back with Thunder, as he could see that the Knights' formation was falling apart from such an onslaught. In the face of twice as many enemies, if the line collapses, it is equivalent to declaring defeat, and the surging enemies in all directions will tear the knight to pieces.

"Cultist, your opponent is me."

However, no sooner had the Dark Overseer given the order than a cold female voice came from behind him.

Merloti silently used a teleportation spell and appeared behind the Overseers. At the same time, the rune sword in her hand was still spewing flames.

"[Flame Slash]!" (To be continued)
