237. Knights of the Twilight Moon
On the hillside, a phalanx composed entirely of black cavalry units was already ready to go. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The cavalry troops waited silently, without making any sound, and even the thunder beast under its crotch maintained a rare quiet, and the entire phalanx seemed unusually quiet. And it is precisely because of this silence that seems to freeze time and condense space, that it seems that the entire cavalry unit has a fierce and murderous atmosphere.
Knights of the Spear of the Dark Moon.
The strongest Templar Order from the Twilight Church in the Western Continent, led by Elsie Lee, now known as the Children of Twilight. Boulder.
Today's Dark Moon Spear is naturally very different from the Dark Moon Spear a few years ago.
The original Spear of the Dark Moon was only five hundred people. However, after a series of major battles such as the southward campaign to spread the faith, the battle on the border of the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire, and the battle to go deep into the bone disaster area, the current Darkmoon Spear has expanded to the scale of 10,000 people, and it has almost gathered the elites and knight priests of all the church knights under the command of the Twilight Church, and it is already a veritable seventh-level army in terms of combat power alone.
However, in order to expand the Darkmoon Spear to such a scale, Elsie also paid a considerable price.
He had to negotiate with the cardinals he disdained - because in the eyes of the cardinals of the Twilight Church, it was better to continue to open up more religious areas than to waste their troops to help the Millennium Covenant solve the plague of bones. Even if the path to the south is blocked by the Void Empire, it can spread north, even bypassing the Trade Capital, bypassing the Void Empire, and spreading faith to the east and further south.
The process was so arduous that Elsie even wanted to draw his sword and cut people, but in the end he endured it. And with the "covert" support of the Void Empire, after setting aside the Trade Capital as a faith-spreading area for the Twilight Church to enter, Elsie finally formed this powerful new Darkmoon Spear force.
Of course, the Knights Templar is no longer called the Spears of the Dark Moon, but has been renamed the Knights of the Twilight Moon - another compromise for Elsi, since according to the history of the Twilight Church, the strongest Knights Templar must be named "Twilight". However, Elsie was not happy to do this, because he didn't want to forget the experience and hardships he had when he first came to the Twilight Church, so in the end, the Pope of the Twilight Church adopted a compromise solution: take the Twilight of Twilight and the Moon of the Dark Moon to form the Twilight Knights.
In the past four years of confrontation with the army of the undead, the Knights of the Twilight Moon have proven their prowess to all the Knights of the Church who have arrived in the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire, and they have delivered a perfect answer to all who were previously skeptical with their almost unrepeatable feats.
Now in the Millennial Covenant Empire, if the Knights of the Twilight Moon claim to be second, no Church Knights dares to claim to be first. Even those legions of the Millennium Covenant Empire have only a few elite ace troops that can compete with them for the first place.
At this moment, the murderous aura exuded by the Knights of the Twilight Moon on the hillside who stood still like a stone sculpture, and anyone could understand that this knight order was in the calm before the storm.
Even the undead soldiers who were far away from the Twilight Knights at the bottom of the hill were shaking uneasily in the Twilight Knights' stronger wave of momentum. If it weren't for the invasion of the Bone Calamity, a large number of undead commanders would inevitably be suppressed, and these mid- and low-level undead creatures who felt a strong threat would have already desperately launched an attack on the Twilight Moon Knights on the hillside.
The hatred of the living and the desire for flesh and blood are almost impossible to suppress these low-level undead.
Elsie raised her right hand, which was the Twilight Church's artifact, the Twilight Spear.
This action seemed to be the transmission of some kind of signal, and I saw that the ten thousand church knights of the Twilight Moon Knights who were behind Elsie in an instant also raised the heavy black cavalry spear in their hands, and then let out a loud shout. Immediately afterward, wave after wave of angry shouts were like waves crashing on the shore, and the sound source was higher and higher.
Warcry.
A special skill similar to the aura class, but with the passive effect of the aura skill, the battle cry is an active skill, and it is a special legion skill unique to the cavalry legion level 7 and above. Depending on the nature of the commander, the effects of the warcry are different, ranging from increased defense to attack, as well as many unique effects such as immunity to soul attacks, enhanced lethality, and special attack effects.
The Knights of the Twilight Moon's Warcry effect isn't special, but it's a rare sight: it increases attack, defense, and lethality.
And, of course, there's a must-have effect that is unique to the Knights of the Church: Fearless Faith.
The specific effect is presumably immunity to fear, chaos, and morale during the Warcry effect.
The battle cries of the Knights of the Twilight Moon rose higher and higher, and all the Church Knights knew that when Ahirl's right hand fell, it was when they charged.
This is already a pre-war habit that they have developed for four years.
Only this time, Elsie's right hand did not fall.
Elsie's visor had not yet been lowered, and his expression was resolute and solemn, just staring at the sea of skeletons, which was about three kilometers away.
It's a wasteland.
Perhaps this was once a grassland with fertile soil and water, but under the influence of the Bone Calamity, any life will eventually dry up and form a desperate domain. Nearly one-third of the entire thousand-year-old Covenant Empire has been turned into a dead land, and tens of millions of undead have formed a desperate black ocean, drowning out all the colors that can be seen along the way.
Although under the strategic policy of William, Bopocas and other famous generals, this sea of the undead was divided into more than a dozen battlefields of different sizes, but this could still barely restrain the development of the undead army, and it was still a little helpless to completely defeat these undead army. Especially after many kingdoms and principalities withdrew the troops they had invested in the Bone Calamity battlefield, this method of pinning became more and more powerless.
After all, the real reason why the surrounding kingdoms and empires could invest a lot of military power in this battlefield without any scruples in the past was because there was a peace council to balance the situation on the mainland. However, with the Peace Council being wiped out by Sean in one fell swoop, even the living forces of the Peace Council were absorbed by the Void Empire, and after officially announcing that the entire continent had entered the era of the strong, the major kingdoms and principalities hurriedly withdrew their military forces, fearing that one would be annexed by their neighbors if they were not careful.
Now in the Bone Calamity Battlefield, the real main fighting force is the Knights of the Templars from various churches and the troops of the Millennial Covenant Empire. As for the neighboring kingdoms and principalities that were also affected by the Bone Calamity, they were only building a line of defense at their own borders - if it weren't for the Bone Calamity that might turn to these neighboring kingdoms at any time after being blocked by the Millennium Covenant Empire, I am afraid that they would not even strengthen the border defense line.
The battlefield where Elsie and William are located is now a battlefield at the level of the "hardest hit area" in the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire.
Perhaps it was because of the rising momentum of Elsie's Twilight Moon Knights, and the terrifying deterrent force gradually became heavy and strong, and these undead who were facing the Twilight Moon Knights were finally defeated by this heavy pressure and began to rush towards Elsie's headquarters desperately.
At this moment, even if those necromancers who were also commanders let out sharp whistling sounds and roars, or even forcibly manipulated them with spirits, they could not suppress the inner desires of these undead creatures. On the contrary, several necromancers and undead knights were overwhelmed by the strong desire of their troops, and commanded their troops to launch a round of charge.
Soon, the formation of the army of the undead began to become chaotic.
The originally solid defense line was also broken by the undead who were constantly losing control in an instant, and the front line was quickly pulled into an east and a west. In particular, those skeletons that walked slowly and the ghouls and skeleton cavalry who were faster were completely disconnected from each other due to the difference in speed, and they could no longer form effective coordination tactics.
Seeing this scene in front of him, a smile quickly appeared on Elsie's face.
Everything was as William had predicted.
After four years of fighting with the army of the undead, even if he didn't understand it before, he was basically familiar with the scale of a famous general in the past four years. It's just that for some reason before, William and Elsie and others have always been in a state of forbearance, and now they no longer need to show weakness, so it's time to end this battlefield.
As William said the other day: take this glorious victory as a gift to welcome Sean's return.
Elsie's left hand tugged on the reins of the Thundermon, and the Thundermon, which had been with him for a long time, immediately understood what its master meant, and began to walk slowly forward—not running, but more like putting pressure on the enemy.
Behind him, the phalanx of knights also began to slowly move forward with Elsie's steps.
Ben Thunder Beast is a kind of magical beast similar to the Earth Walking Dragon, which is said to be a different species born by the Earth Walking Dragon and a magic *** called Thunder Horse. This unique magical beast that can only be seen in the Western Continent is about one meter to one meter two in height, and some of the stronger individuals can exceed one meter five, although this kind of magical beast has no advantage in height, but they have the same strong posture as the earthly dragon: the horizontal length is close to fifty centimeters, the back is extremely wide, the legs are extremely developed, and it can easily carry a ton of weight, and unlike the earth-walking dragon, the forelimbs are short - the forelimbs of the thunder beast are sharp claws, If necessary, it can even be used as a weapon to match the knight on his back.
The Thunder Beasts of the Twilight Moon Knights are carefully selected Thunder Beasts with a height of one meter and two meters, and the knights of the Captain of the Regiment are strong individuals with a height of one meter and five meters. These Thunder Beasts have been fighting here with their masters for four years, and in this situation of eating and sleeping together, life and death together, all the Thunder Beasts and the knights on their backs have formed an incomparably amazing tacit understanding.
Soon, the Knights reached the edge of the hillside, and they condescendingly looked down at the army of the undead who had rushed hundreds of meters away.
The smile on Elsie's face grew even deeper.
He draped his visor off, then picked up the Twilight Shield next to the Thundermon, and as his right hand holding the Twilight Spear snapped down, the entire phalanx of knights rushed out from the edge of the hill towards the army of the undead.
With the help of the slope of the hillside, the impact of the running speed of the Thunderbeast was significantly more violent.
However, the attack strength of the undead army is definitely not weak.
When the two sides were still a mile apart, the undead soldiers armed with bows and arrows began to shoot a wave of bone arrows. Originally, it was supposed to be a covering dense blow like a torrential rain, but at this moment, because of the chaotic formation of this undead army, the rain of arrows shot out seemed a little sparse, and there were front and back, although it was still barely able to cover the effect, but in terms of lethality, it was negligible for most of it.
At the very least, for the heavily armored and shield-wielding Knights of the Darkmoon Lance, the original Knights of the Darkmoon Lance were not equipped with shields, but after being reorganized into the Knights of the Twilight Moon, the entire Knights were equipped with one more shield: a vulture-shaped shield, polished to a very smooth finish, mainly used to defend against enemy bows and arrows - and with the bonus effect of the warcry, these bone arrows were indeed negligible in threat.
As for the part that cannot be ignored......
The bone arrows that were thrown out soon began to pour down, but the part of the bone arrows that shot at the front of the knights' phalanx, when they approached about a few meters above the knights' heads, were as if they were blocked by some mysterious force, and they were bounced and slid to both sides. Only the bone arrows that fell towards the middle and rear of the Order were not stopped by this mysterious force, and those that fell to the middle and back of the Order exploded when they touched the vulture-shaped shields.
With one explosion after another, even if those knights blocked the impact, the bone arrow fragments shattered by the explosion were scattered in all directions, and the sharp force could even pierce the vulture-shaped shield in one fell swoop, directly embedded in the heavy armor. Some of the more unlucky knights were shot through the weak points on the armor by these bone arrows, and immediately let out a muffled snort, and even a few of them were shot through the thin armor at the neck, and died on the spot.
However, this short distance of about 500 meters is only enough for these undead bows and arrows to shoot two waves of bone arrows.
Then, the troops of both sides soon went directly into a state of hand-to-hand handover.
A ghoul was running relatively far forward, and when it was still two meters away from Elsie, it leapt up and pounced on Elsie.
But with Elsie's strength, how could he be pounced on by this ghoul.
A black shadow flashed, and Elsie's spear had pierced through the ghoul's body.
Because a single shot directly punctured the heart, the ghoul died without even a struggle.
The pace of the Thunder Beast did not stop, and it still sprinted out rapidly in front of it, and more than a dozen skeletons along the way were hit and smashed by the Thunder Beast on the spot, and even before they could be put back together, a steady stream of Thunder Beasts in the rear rushed wildly, directly trampling these bones to the point that there was no scum left. Countless ghouls kept flying up, but they were only pierced or slapped by the knights of the Twilight Church, and they couldn't hurt the knights at all.
The entire Twilight Moon Knights, like a black blade, easily cut directly into the formation of the army of the undead, and this black wave instantly completely swallowed up all the white skeletons in its path. The only ones who can really play a little bit of a blocking role are those black warriors and black knights, but in the face of such a strong charge of the Twilight Moon Knights, their struggle is only a few seconds more than those cannon fodder skeletons.
As we all know, once the charge of a knight order cannot be suppressed, then the combat power of this knight order is almost in a completely unlimited state of strengthening.
Looking at this black wave, it easily broke into the entire army of the undead, and instantly stirred up the entire army of the undead, as if entering a no-man's land. William, who was standing on a high slope, raised the corners of his mouth lightly: "The other party should not be able to sit still." ”
Almost as soon as William's words fell, two figures rose into the air at the same time in the enemy formation of the army of the undead, and the momentum belonging to the super strong suddenly burst out.
"Two super strong men." William pursed his lips, "It's worthy of being the hardest hit area." …… Then it's a problem for the two of you. ”
Diane, who was standing beside William, nodded, and then slowly rose into the air, but Edward, who was traveling with him, snorted a little dissatisfied, and then rose into the air.
"Command, Wings of Darkness, the whole army is attacking!"
Legion against legion, super strong against super strong.
The war is heating up in an instant! (To be continued.) )
