Chapter 291: The Battle of the Two Saints! (Above)
ps: Today's second watch, the second watch will be in the evening
To the south, the city of clear water.
The city, along with Swan Castle and Lakeside Fortress, are all on the edge of the large lake of Bishui Lake. The shape of Bishui Lake is an ellipse nearly 150 kilometers long, and the major axis of the ellipse is northeastward.
The lower end of the long axis is the lakeside fortress, the narrowest part of the middle is built across the blue water lake, the bridge is built on the head of the defense castle, because there are often swans on both sides of the river, so it is called the swan castle, and the blue water city is at the north end of the long axis.
Because of the connection of the lake, the three defense points can quickly support each other in wooden boats, and the time difference is only two days, which can almost be said to be connected, and this excellent geographical location just forms a strong defense line against Baiyun City in the southeast corner of the principality.
Of course, the location is very good, but there are not enough people, and a qiē is also for nothing.
After the news of the breach of Baiyun City came out, not only the Grand Duke was anxious, but the city lords of Bishui Lake, as well as the lords and nobles behind Bishui Lake, were also not happy, and they all sent family soldiers to Bishui City one by one, and even some far-sighted mercenary heroes also ran to Bishui City to help defend, hoping to get some merits and get the opportunity to be promoted.
On the fifth day, the number of official defenders of the city reached 15,000, and the militia temporarily conscripted was also 10,000. And the Swan Fortress reached five thousand, and the Lakeside Fortress reached eight thousand, which was at least five times stronger than before.
That is, on the fifth day, the Church of Radiance broke the news that the Knights of Radiance were about to arrive, and the leader of the Knights was none other than the Knights' leader, the Holy Knight Joseph. Martin.
This is a big man, the lord of Bishui City, Flinor, was ecstatic, and took the officials of the whole city out of the city ten miles to greet him.
At this time, it is already late autumn weather. The Duchy of Lehman was already far north. The climate is on the cold side. In addition, the weather is not very good today, the sky is full of dark clouds, and the cold wind from the far north is constantly blowing, which is really cold.
A group of officials stood by the roadside, their necks hunched, their whole bodies hidden in thick fur cloaks, and they looked like a simple brown bear from a distance.
"I don't know when they'll arrive, it's going to freeze to death."
"Come on, I should. The church says noon at the latest. ”
"Don't have any accidents on the road."
"Crow's mouth, don't talk nonsense."
The officials muttered softly, but the lord of the city, Flino, remained silent, his eyes fixed on the end of the road.
The news of the destruction of White Cloud City has spread, and several survivors who have escaped from White Cloud City have described the existence of a terrible undead demon.
This demon acted like the wind, killing people like cutting grass, and the most powerful knight in White Cloud City, Kolosen, was like a rabbit in front of him, and he was killed with a sword, and more than thirty powerful guards rushed up, and he saw a circle of red light spread out. Everyone was cut in half, and the power was indescribable.
It is said that these messages came from a coachman who was doing business outside the castle lord's mansion. Seeing that something was wrong, the coachman immediately ran away, hid all the way to Tibet, and lived nine lives, and finally escaped under the favor of the Lord of Radiance.
Regardless of whether the news was true or not, Forlinor felt a chill on his neck, as if the next moment this undead demon would jump out and repeat the killing of White Cloud City in Blue Water City.
That's why he was so excited when he heard that the paladin was coming, the paladin was the sharpest sword of the Lord of Light in the mortal world, and I was afraid that only he could stop that terrible undead demon.
Time passed slowly, and more than half an hour had passed since noon, and the Radiant Knights still did not appear.
Everyone was anxious about waiting, and the officials were talking a lot, and their faces were full of anxious and uneasy expressions.
It can't be an accident, right? This is the west side of Bishui City, not the east side, and there shouldn't be undead on the road, right?
The officials of Blue Water City waited anxiously, their worries were not wrong, the Radiant Knights were indeed in serious trouble.
There are two hundred Radiant Knights in this team, and each of them has a strength comparable to that of a knight lieutenant, that is, a level 30 knight in Luo Lin's mouth, this power is not trivial, and it has become the essence of the Radiant Church.
The group had just returned from the south, and after hearing that Baiyun was calling it difficult, they immediately rushed to Bishui City, all the way non-stop, sleeping only four hours a night, spanning 700 kilometers in three days, and finally arrived at the gray wolf hill 50 kilometers away on the west side of Bishui City.
The gray wolf was hilly, overgrown with weeds and rocky, with only a small path in the middle, and the two hundred paladins had to be pulled into a slender line by the narrow road.
Joseph. Martin was at the front of the group, wearing a dark gold legendary armor, a silver-white broadsword on his back, and a pure-blooded flaming horse at his crotch. After a few days and nights of traveling, his face was stained with wind and dust, and the light of the battle armor on his body was also a little dim, but his eyes were still bright, and the eyes of these eyes were bright silver, which was not his true color, but the influence of the majestic holy power in his body.
About halfway through, Joseph suddenly felt that something was wrong, raised his hand to stop the advance of the team, paused, he looked left and right at the weeds on both sides of the road that were half a person high, and his face became very solemn: "Prepare for battle!" ”
He felt the aura of darkness.
The Radiant Knights immediately removed their shields from the side of their horses and at the same time took out their swords. Martin also untied his greatsword from his back.
This sword is an artifact in the church, called the sword of the silver oath, the bright silver sword is engraved with glorious runes, it has only one function, that is, to help the sword master condense the holy power, originally it was only a lower-level legendary combat skill, after the condensation of this sword, it can become an upper-level combat skill, which is also the capital of Joseph's confrontation with the real martial saint.
Just as the Radiant Knight was reacting, clay pots suddenly flew out of the grass.
The knights immediately raised their shields to block, but the clay pot exploded immediately, the flames of the explosion were pale blue, and the temperature was unimaginably high, and the shields in the hands of the knights were directly melted into juice, and the high-temperature juice flowed down, easily breaking through the holy power protection of the glorious knights.
For a while, the screams came one after another, and many of the Radiant Knights were burned by the terrible flames and let out inhuman screams, rolling left and right on the ground. Trying to extinguish the flames on your body. But only in vain. These are unfortunate, and those who are lucky are burned to death without experiencing any pain.
With such a round of clay pot attacks, more than 50 people were burned to death by 200 paladins.
The paladin Joseph was horrified and shouted, "Light the fire, put the fire in the haystack!" Force them out! ”
He raised his sword, and a golden holy power rushed into the grass pile by the roadside, and there was a 'boom'. The dry grass of late autumn suddenly ignited with golden flames, and the fire spread rapidly.
The same was true of the Radiant Knights, who rushed into the grass one after another, and in just a few moments, the roads on both sides were lit with raging golden flames.
There was a scream in the flames, and then a black shadow rose into the air, and the humanoid body, with sharp claws on its hands and feet, and wings on its back, was the gargoyle, the ace of the undead. There are more than a hundred.
On the back of one of the gargoyles was an old man in black clothes and white hair, who looked at the knight below. Laughed and said, "Joseph, I heard that you are the most powerful warrior of the Lord of Radiance, do you dare to fight me?" ”
Joseph. Martin stared at the opponent on the gargoyle's back and sneered: "Morovogen, I knew it was you!" ”
"Haha, a few days ago, I killed the White Cloud City Lord, and the old man cried and knelt at my feet, begging me to spare his life, saying that he was willing to be loyal to the darkness, but I hated this kind of person the most, so I cut off his head. What about you, paladin, will you pray for your life when I defeat you? Morovogen laughed.
Joseph. Martin snapped: "You're too arrogant, Morowwagen. The sword master who can't even keep his own sword, what qualifications do you have to say that you can defeat me! ”
The weapons of Morovogen, the Silver Moon, were kept in the arsenal of the Grand Duke Lehman, which was heavily guarded day and night, and the Grand Duke also publicized the matter and made up songs for the bards to spread throughout the principality.
The full moon sword saint lost the silver moon, and everyone in the whole continent knew about it, and many children were still singing nursery rhymes everywhere.
The loss of the sword was the great hatred of Moro Vogen in his first life, and now he was found out by Joseph in front of him, his gray face turned a little whiter, and he said coldly: "When killing on the battlefield, there will always be a time when you miss." What's this! ”
"It seems that the dignified Full Moon Sword Saint not only lost his sword, but also lost the glory of the Sword Saint. If you want to replace me, it is better to commit suicide on the spot. Undead Demon, today, my Silver Oath Sword will judge your sins on my Lord's behalf! ”
Joseph. Martin jumped off his horse, his whole body flowing like flames, and he roared, "Knights, fight!" ”
So he rushed up the hill.
Morovogen also jumped off the gargoyle's back, his new sword in his hand, and rushed towards the paladin.
The gargoyles and the Radiant Knights were not idle, and the two sides did not like each other and began to fight.
The Paladins also launched an exchange against Morovogen.
The giant sword in his hand burned with pure white flames, and small silver thorn flowers composed of holy power emanated from the air, dragging a brilliant silver path of light behind the rushing paladin.
"Sword of Judgment!" Joseph slashed at Morovogan.
The giant sword slashed through a semicircle, the white moon flashed, the momentum was wild and domineering, and the holy power was as majestic as the sea. At this moment, Joseph. Martin is like a god incarnate.
This was Joseph's most skillful skill, and he was confident that there were no more than three people on the continent who could hold off this sword.
"Dang!" With a loud bang, his sword was blocked, it was indeed no more than three, but today the Full Moon Sword Saint was one of them.
It was obviously a one-handed sword, and it was only a simple horizontal sword block, but it gave Martin the illusion of slashing the mountain, and an indescribable majestic force shook back from the opponent's sword, forcing Joseph to take three steps back.
Morovogan did not take advantage of the situation to catch up, and he was much better than the other party in the martial arts, but the opponent's holy power was almost endless, and he held the artifact that had been inherited for thousands of years by the Glorious Church in his hand.
With this sword slash, the condensed holy power actually broke through his defense and invaded his body, making him have to use death magic to expel him, and his follow-up attack was interrupted.
In this case, the two sides have mutual gains and losses, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable.
Joseph completely put away his contempt for Morovogen, the Full Moon Sword Saint is the Full Moon Sword Saint, even if he becomes an undead, his martial arts still stand at the top of this world, this is an indelible fact.
Seeing a solemn look on the paladin's face, Morovogen smiled: "Your sword is good, and you are extremely favored by the gods, but this can't save you!" ”
Today, his sword tastes the blood of paladins!
It's a pity that it's not the silver moon in your hand. Morovogen sighed with some regret. (To be continued......)
