Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Galloping 'White Mist'

The white mist that poured out of the black wreckage was like a fountain at first, and as the white mist got farther and farther away from the fountain's mouth, there was a faint gap between them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 But when these guys who had been scattered and overflowed set their sights on Lucia's army, they became intimate again.

In Barrett's field of vision, the smoke-like guys in front of him were like rushing rivers. When they came from afar, they were just rows of small waves, but as they got closer, they became more and more rapid and high. By the time Barrett stopped to hold his knife, the swarming layers of white smoke had turned into rows of egrets flying with wings spread.

The white expanse approached the Nohan army at a rapid pace, and at this time it was too late for anyone to avoid it. Almost in the middle of the film, two teams, one white and one black, one hazy and one real, collided - one was like a huge wave roaring and galloping, like thousands of fierce horses with white manes, and more like countless roaring dragons. One is like a white pine forest and a series of mountains.

The collision between the two splattered into waves several meters high - accompanied by the melodious sound of bagpipes, the Requiem of the Swarm, this time a level 4 spell from the list of bards and priests, could fundamentally solve the problem that ordinary weapons could not harm spirits.

Of course, this solution is also incomplete, and he can cause the imaginary creatures in the area of influence to fall into a state of semi-physical existence for a short time. When the target is affected by this spell, they take half of the damage when attacked physically, and take full damage when attacked by magic weapons, spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities.

Of course, although this spell can ignore the influence of objects and creatures and act directly on them, it is also limited to a certain extent, whether it is spell resistance or strong will, it can make this spell ineffective. Thankfully, although the number of these ghosts in front of him is huge, they are only ordinary in terms of individual strength after all.

So most of them were revealed in the sound of bagpipes. However, those Lucia's spellcasters must have consumed too many resources in the previous battles to be able to counter or disarm this spell from Nohan's side in time.

If anything, there will be such a big gap on the caster's side, and it has a lot to do with the attack that night. Although the number of casters who died directly in that turmoil was small, the tense atmosphere and the ubiquitous threat caused a large number of deserters to appear among them.

Regardless of the country, the army's punishment for those who desert is very severe. Otherwise, there is no way to deter those cowards. Even the normally privileged caster has no room for change on this issue. Even if they are not slashed for the sake of resource utilization, the end that awaits them will be extremely tragic - at least in the eyes of those who are spellcasters.

These self-proclaimed superior spellcasters are not willing to choose to bear the price they had to pay for their previous spell after they have regained their senses. They decisively chose to flee. Anyway, these spellcasters also have a small fortune behind them, and even if they flee to a nearby country, they won't be unable to survive. And with their family ability, not only will the Lucia Kingdom not be implicated by this, but they will also be able to provide certain resources for these fugitives.

Therefore, in the subsequent collision, the waves splashed directly into the air, and after a short stay, with the summer breeze blowing, they fell down in a sprinkling manner, white and white, flickering, like snowflakes. Or fly like catkins, whirling up and down in mid-air.

However, more of them have turned into rags under the sword, and those ghosts used to rely on the advantage of the spirits, often able to make a group of unprepared kitchen knives scratch the scalp. But when he lost the most important means of preserving his life, he found that his ability to resist blows was really not very good.

And at this moment, Barrett, with his superior skills, specializes in finding those ghosts who still maintain their virtual body abilities after hitting the big luck, and solve them one by one. Although Barrett's 'Broken Peak' itself does not have the exclusive 'Nether' effect for attacking imaginary creatures, the True Death Crystal attached to it can bring a similar effect.

In other words, with or without the influence of the Requiem of the Crowd, this battle is pretty much the same for Barrett. But even with the help of the caster, in the huge horde of ghosts, the army of Norhan suffered heavy losses.

Those light white smoke in the soldiers' swords are like cutting gel, and like tearing the thread. Even half of the damage is enough to make these 'delicate' guys scatter. But on the other hand, the touch of those ghosts also ignored the armor of the Norhan soldiers. Although their touch does not make people peel their flesh, it quickly drains the vitality of the living beings.

Those ordinary Nohan soldiers felt the heat on their bodies be taken away with each touch of the ghost. As the number of contacts between the two sides increased, those soldiers were like rolling in a snowstorm in a single coat, and they were already out of breath in a short period of time. As time went on, their bodies became tired, and their hands and feet began to freeze and stiffen—and eventually they collapsed in Lucia's barracks, cold and bloodless.

Even Barrett is not easy when it comes to dealing with ghosts that have no entity to wander around. The metal storm that could set off a bloody storm every time was now torn out only strips of rags and fluttering flakes - the ghost was not critical, and even Barrett, who could output it in full, could not guarantee a kill. This greatly slowed down the speed of his clearance.

On the other hand, the touch of the spirit disregards not only the armor, but also Barrett's own muscular armor. Even if the 'Flashing Technique' still works, in the face of the overwhelming ghosts, there are always lucky ones who can break through the barrier of the spirit world.

The damned ghosts all screamed with their blurred, distorted faces, and the gross outline of them was faintly visible from Barrett's perspective. If you look closely, you will see that the faces of these ghosts are male and female, old and young. It's unclear what exactly they used to create these ghosts, but judging by how they feel so far, it's not a good idea.

Although Barrett's strong physique makes the heat taken away by the spirit every time he is very small, his own physical reserves are also quite abundant. But as time went on, he found himself in a rare embarrassment on the battlefield. Barrett would rather face twice as many Lucia soldiers than encounter these damn ghosts.

The light, like a thriving light that had just leapt over the horizon, swept across Lucia's camp suddenly. This positive energy from the upper plane instantly filled this land in the main material plane. They churned, colliding and stirring up patches of golden ripples.

The ghosts that come into contact with these energies are like silk cloths that have been directly immersed in the regia water, dissolving at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. The originally white rushing waves had been cleared out of a large area of open space in just a few ticks. Some of the ghosts were completely destroyed by the priest's ability to disperse, and the rest all chose to flee away from the priests.

It can be said that it is not until today that the military priests of the Norhan Kingdom have shown their ability to heal and save people for the first time. After all, the Pan-Continental Church has not officially declared war on the Kingdom of Lucia for the time being, and the military priests during this period are still subject to certain restrictions - the few who rush to the front line in a full state can only be done on a 'personal will' and not in a regimental behavior.

However, when dealing with undead creatures such as ghosts, the above total restrictions will be lifted. It is a war between the dead and the living, regardless of country, race or creed. Among the many abilities and spells to deal with the undead, the most cost-effective is the dispersal of priests. So when these clergy appeared, the army of Nohan, which had been hit by the 'white tide', once again gained a firm foothold.

The second wave of positive energy was less holy than the previous one, and there was more of the warm grace that nourished all things. Shrouded in it, Barrett only felt as if he had just left the warm tub, and his whole body was warm. And the originally pale cheeks of the aboriginal soldiers beside him began to regain their blood. Even among the fallen soldiers, the bruises on their lips began to fade.

With the addition of military priests from various churches, the ghost army that Lucia used to delay the Nohan army was instantly weakened. Led by a few powerful officers who led the charge, Lucia's army was like a thrown trident, tearing through the oncoming white veil and plunging into the flesh and blood of the Lucia.

Although the ghost army called by the strange thing before, it did delay the offensive momentum of the Norhan army to a certain extent. But it took too long for the Lucians to regain their own strength. The officers and soldiers were separated from the army that had no desire to fight, and even the peerless generals could not form them into an effective combat force in a short period of time.

Although the noble officers managed to gather all their personal guards and soldiers, they did not even account for half of the total number of troops in Lucia's camp - the degree of centralization of power in the Lucia Kingdom was relatively high, and the armed forces that the small and medium-sized nobles could directly control were even smaller. If it was true in the past, this would indeed be able to reassure the great nobles, including the royal family, but at such times it is indeed a pure disaster.

The proportion of soldiers in the gray livestock is extremely high, and it is unknown how much loyalty will be left to serve the country under long-term oppression. With their organization and morale already in ruins, they could not hold the blades in their hands after only one charge. Soon someone dropped their weapon after suffering pain, and the reincarnation ran with his leg raised.

The Overseers, who were supposed to come forward and wield whips and machetes, failed to organize. Even those noble private soldiers can only protect their masters and retreat quickly. The Lucians in the entire camp were not to say that they were about to collapse at the touch of a button, but they did not organize a decent defense.

In particular, the Lucians in front of Barrett scattered in a hurry after a few unlucky men who tried to stop him were killed. Barrett, who found that there was no longer an established enemy in front of him, gave up those soldiers who had no oil and water without saying a word, and set his eyes on the Lucia nobles in his sight.

With the acceleration effect activated, Barrett's speed increased in vain, striding across the ground littered with broken logs, his 'broken peak' growing larger and larger in his target's pupils. Then the broken sword accompanied by blood instantly shattered the limited protection of those pro-soldiers.

There was no need for Barrett to be merciful to those ordinary soldiers, but he had to deal with the next Lucia nobles carefully. After using the effect of the 'flash' to miss the opponent's tomahawk, Barrett slammed the man's head with a backhand - and with years of combat experience, Barrett managed to stun him through his helmet. And make sure that there are no sequelae left on the other party because of this.

After successfully picking the first fruit, Barrett draws the magic seal and leaves his trophy mark on the opponent. Then he set his sights on the remaining Lucia nobles.

Unlike those ordinary big-headed soldiers, the Lucian nobles not only have more valuable equipment and strange things on their bodies. They are also a great asset in their own right. Noble families captured in the Western Continent were often willing to pay a hefty ransom for their freedom.

What's more, when a large number of nobles are captured, the Lucian royal family will be under considerable pressure. In order to save their loved ones, the families of those who were captured will definitely urge the royal family in the next negotiations.

Although in the kingdom of Lucia, the royal family and several great nobles are the real power holders. However, when the number of small and medium-sized nobles affected is large, it can also cause a lot of momentum. Not to mention that the Khan side was able to threaten those hostages and let those noble families act as spies.

Once the army of the feudal period collapsed, it was unlikely that it would be able to reorganize. Over time, there were no Lucians stationed in the camp. And in the wilderness, a great battle of pursuit and escape is underway. Although it will take a lot of effort to reorganize the deserters who have been completely scattered. But it is always easier to reassemble these gray animals, which are more or less militarily trained, than the mud-legged ones who have just left the fields.

Therefore, it became the common will of the Norhan army to destroy the living forces of the Lucia Kingdom as much as possible in this battle. Even the nobles who wanted to preserve their strength did their best at this time. (To be continued.) )
