Chapter 266: Prayer Warrior vs. Sacrificial Beast
If one were to ask who were God's most devout people in Europe, the Spaniards would be in the top three, if not the first.
This group of God's people from the Iberian Peninsula is geographically located closer to North Africa and even to Northern Europe, which makes them too vulnerable to attacks from North Africa.
In history, such battles for the Iberian Peninsula have indeed happened many times, and the two sides have flickered the victory, but one thing is that the Spaniards have indeed been conquered by the Arabs and ruled for a long time.
However, the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula were very devout in their belief in God, and the Holy See was determined not to allow non-believers to take root on the European continent, so they fully supported the Spanish revolt and fought incessantly to regain control of the Iberian Peninsula.
The long fighting with foreign sects and the selfless help of the Church made the Spaniards very strong in their faith in the Lord, and they believed that only with the help of strong faith and the grace of the Lord could they resist the rule of the Lord, and finally establish the Iberian Peninsula as the Lord's presence on earth.
Supported by this philosophy, the Spaniards were extremely strong in their faith in the Lord, and eventually they expelled *** and established the kingdom under the Gospel of the Lord in the Iberian Peninsula.
Later, the Iberians plunged into the Age of Maritime Discoveries, strong-willed, adventurous, and martial spirits, and the least afraid of challenges, taking advantage of the tide of this era, their national power expanded rapidly, and they began to colonize the whole world.
They themselves are staunch believers in the Lord, and on the way to expansion, they also spread Catholic doctrine everywhere, as long as it is expanded by their colonial power, the gospel of God will inevitably reach at the same time as the musket and the sword, you might as well look at the Latin American society in the real world, almost the entire South American territory of the country is a loyal supporter of Catholicism, which has a lot to do with the Spanish spread Catholicism through colonial means during the period of maritime geographical discovery.
Special times created special people, and at that time, as famous as the Spanish conquistadors, were the Spanish horse missionaries.
As I said earlier, these Iberians are naturally adventurous, and this kind of thing in their bones has been tenacious even after they have converted to the arms of the Lord and become clergy.
Thus the brave Spanish priests set sail with the expedition in large numbers, and in addition to relieving the sailors' thoughts on the way, they were also tasked with going to the colonies and preaching Catholic doctrine, which was beautifully called: "Let the Holy Light shine into even the most savage dark corners of the world." ”
And, don't get me wrong, these missionaries are not some powerless book-gnawing theologians, they have strong combat capabilities, to explain in layman's terms, they are similar to the existence of Shaolin monks, they can fight, and they can read, under this mode of transmission, Catholicism is expanding rapidly around the world, and the speed can be described as a bargain.
Spain in the world of trials and based on the real world, the belief in Catholicism is also obvious, and after the correction of the space, this setting of the horse missionary has been further strengthened, and the Catholic faith has become more than just a spiritual inspiration, it can also bring great substantive effects!
"Mr. Van der Kamp. Fernández smiled and pulled his sword and said to the old king: "We are the most faithful believers of the Lord, therefore, the great Lord is not stingy in giving us strength, of course, with the weak faith of you Protestants, there is no way to understand such a sacred thing, but I am not boasting, I have witnessed the coming of this power, I believe you can also know the greatness of it." The Spaniard, who also had a little fluorescence on his body, stretched out his finger and pointed to the two warriors who were still kneeling on the ground and chanting incantations: "They are the core of the Spanish phalanx, the bridge between us and the Lord - the Spanish prayer warriors."
They are both ministers and combatants, and they are usually skilled in battle, and when necessary, they can guide the power of the Lord to strengthen their companions and their own combat strength through prayer, and of course, these strengthened companions must also be servants of the Lord, otherwise they cannot be strengthened by this power. ”
"Well, it's a surprising ability, it's quite powerful. Lao Wang didn't look particularly happy, and even squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with a slightly unhappy face.
"Aha. Fernandez was completely mistaken about what he meant, and said in a proud and high-pitched tone: "Are you jealous, we can all gain strength through the blessing of the Lord, but you feel very little, at most feel a little refreshed?"
The devout believer continued to triumphantly say, "You can't be blamed for this, the Protestant guys don't have this kind of benefit, but even if it is of limited use to you, you should feel the blessing of the Lord, don't care about it, and fight in the light." ”
Lao Wang greeted his eight generations of ancestors in his heart, this kind of doctrine or something, Wang Mancang has always scoffed.
After he entered the random space, his concept of gods was a little different, and the two people he came into contact with who could barely be called immortals (his cheap mom and Skura) were both realists of Hongguoguo.
When you see the benefits, or see that the person has use value, you will give some benefits according to the benefits.
The world is as black as a crow, whether this lord who stands against them is really benevolent and selfless, Lao Wang doesn't want to know, and he is not interested in researching, but he is really unhappy.
Brother Wang's current identity is a part of hell, and he is also a new Ambershad-level demon when he says it, even if this kind of divine aura is not guided into his body, just in this atmosphere, he is sticky and uncomfortable.
So Wang Mancang snorted and stopped talking, Fernandez thought he had acquiesced, laughed, and followed the team to start a counterattack against the Rama tribe.
Now, it is the turn of the elite Rama water ghosts to begin to be tested, as their enemies of the Spanish warriors after the addition of faith to show strong combat effectiveness, the encirclement of the Rama elite water ghosts began to crumble, and even let the Spanish phalanx, which had not continued to advance for a long time, began to move forward, their goal was simple, to break the Rama people's defensive formation and kill Zubita.
"Is this the third place in the air race?" said Mary, dodging a few shots from the Rama musketeers, and after knocking down a guy who was reloading his ammunition, "It can't be a real trick in the air race, right?"
"Miss Mary, I don't think it's going to be that simple. "Because of the advance of the battle line, Takenaka's position has also advanced a little bit, after all, he is not purely long-range, even if he is pretending, he must be a little closer to the enemy to be able to perform.
The little guy used the flying sword to make up for an injured fish that had slipped through the net and said: " The race is not just enough to run the boat, anyway, the Rama people have gone through mirror operations, and look at their sneak attack on us, they must have troubled other participants, although they are indeed much stronger when they are underwater, but if they simply change the environment and do not fight, they are not qualified to be the seed players in the team, uncle should be careful, they must still have something difficult to deal with, don't be careless, although Mr. Tan Liang is the back hand of our ambush, but in case something is wrong, please be ready to support at any time。 ”
"Got it, little sir. Tan Liang replied that he was a person who followed the old etiquette, and habitually called Mr. to knowledgeable and judgmental people, Takenaka was young, but it did not prevent him from calling Mr. Xiao.
Lao Wang followed the Spanish phalanx forward, after the strength of the Lando sword and shield hand and other warriors improved, his combat effectiveness was not so conspicuous, and he continued to return to the duty of defending the flank from the flank, it is worth mentioning that the two prayer warriors after the prayer were more vigorous than ordinary Spaniards, it seems that they really have no major problems except for the long time of prayer and the need for protection.
Zubita was still outside the battle formation, as the commander of the side where the situation was not good, he was very calm, watching Fernandez continue to advance, he just ordered the warriors in the clan: "Warriors, get out of the formation and release the sacrificial beast, the white-skinned pigs have their own gods, and we also have our own methods." ”
He used an indigenous language, which Fernandez naturally did not understand, thinking that the enemy might be giving his soldiers some order to change formation, shouted a slogan of a religious nature, and continued to charge forward with his troops.
Zubita did have this idea, they were invaded by the colonies, so they could understand the languages of the great powers, but it was very rare for the Spaniards, Dutch or British to understand the native language of the Rama people, and the "civilized people" had become accustomed to any of their cultures being advanced and efficient, including languages.
As for the babbling native language, which does not even have a few vowel syllables, there is really nothing worth learning, after all, these natives only need to recognize the whip and know that it is enough to be afraid, what is there to communicate? There is no need to communicate.
Therefore, Zubita's choice to use his native language to convey combat orders is largely to make the opposite Europeans unable to understand what orders he has given, just like a professional rugby team will choose to use the code language developed by their own team to formulate tactics when setting up the formation, in order to confuse the enemy's hearing and make the opponent not know what they are going to do.
However, Zubita did a lot of calculations, never expected that Wang Mancang in the Spanish phalanx was a person who could ignore any language barrier, the powerful translation system of the spatial language made him effortlessly understand the Rama tribe's next battle intentions, as long as he wanted, the Spaniards could immediately be warned to avoid the loss caused by the sudden attack.
Comrade Wang Mancang only weighed it for less than two seconds before he made up his mind to lose both, and these four words can explain everything.
So he carried the axe and continued to wander in the Spanish phalanx, but as if he was inadvertently running, he adjusted the position of the place slightly, and from a bird's eye view, Lao Wang was just slightly away from the direction of the phalanx's frontal advance, according to Zubita, this is the place where the sudden attack is about to begin.
"Be careful, I just heard Zubita say that he was going to send something into battle, and that tone didn't look like an easy guy to deal with. ”
Lao Wang finished adjusting himself, and then just said a word in the team channel, he felt that the Spanish phalanx in front of him suddenly accelerated its advancing speed, and it seemed that all the resistance that had stopped them in front of him disappeared instantly, and the Spanish warriors pushed the formation to the boss without much effort under the light of the Lord, not to say how many Rama they had killed, but that the Rama people in front of them were very interested in getting out of the way.
Here it comes!
Lao Wang subconsciously clenched the hunter axe in his hand, changing from a short-handled state to a long-handled form that was more suitable for defense, the steps on his feet did not stop, and there was already a slight sweat in his palm, he knew that this was the feeling when he was about to face an unknown battle.
The Spanish phalanx suddenly and directly stopped, not because the warriors under the light were no longer brave, but because what was happening in front of them was too unbelievable, and the shock restricted their progress.
Three barely humanoid and at the same time large bodies stood up from behind the Rama water ghosts who had moved out of the way, like giant beasts that had come out of the savage scroll.
Their skin is blue-gray, giving the feeling of discoloration after the rough fabric has been soaked in water for a long time, and although they have human limbs and heads, they do have a strange shark head above the neck, and thick stitching stitches can be seen where the head and neck meet.
Their limbs were surprisingly large, and four sharp bone spurs protruded from the skin at the four joint points of their knees and elbows, and the black-brown marks on them showed that these guys never cleaned the murder weapons after killing their prey.
"That's what Zubita is going to send. Lao Wang clenched his axe and stopped: "What is it called a sacrificial beast, tsk, the little thing is quite chic." ”
"Uncle, don't you think this monster feels a little familiar. Takenaka withdrew the flying sword, and the man continued to rush forward a few steps.
"I know what you're trying to say, Kotakenaka. Mary continued: "I also feel this way, the strange creatures I encountered in the world of Bloodborne Curse give people this feeling, if I have to classify it, this thing should be a monster of the Cthulhu system." ”
"I was just about to say that. The king turned his axe and said, "It's Cthulhu..."
"Merciful Lord. Fernandez sighed involuntarily and said: "These heretics, as expected, have all kinds of strange means of warfare, such disgusting creatures, I'm afraid only they can use them." ”
"I said Mr. Fernández, don't say that. Lao Wang was two people away from Fernandez, and was interrupted by his sigh, so he simply stretched out his head and said, "Are there still few ugly monsters we encounter on our voyages?"
"You really have a sense of humor and optimism. Fernandez smiled and said to Lao Wang without looking back: "Mr. van der kamp, we should enter the hardest part of the battle." ”
"I agree with you. Wang Mancang turned his axe and said.
