355.Chapter 355
When the troops of the "Rosicrucise" were under siege, hundreds of kilometers away in the "Temple", the believers who had not yet received any news still believed that this was a war without suspense... The victory greetings have been written, the medals awarded to the bishops have been packed into elaborate boxes, and even the petals that were sprinkled on the team's return from victory have begun to be transported in batches from outside the city...
People had smiles on their faces, but they didn't realize that disaster was quietly descending at this moment.
In the core area of the "Temple", Bishop Rubens reached out and dusted off the dust that did not exist on his robe and walked into the council chamber in front of him with a blank face.
The white hall was extremely empty, and the countless ornate sculptures exuded the solemnity of a religious shrine, but Rubens had long been accustomed to it.
Cardinal Mograini sat quietly in the large armchair, and when Rubens stopped and saluted Mograini as the "Overlord", a conversation representing the clash between the two factions began with a seemingly casual question:
"Rubens, what do you think of Roddy?"
The question was difficult to answer, and Rubens narrowed his eyes, pondered, and replied, "He can be trusted." ”
Mograini's eyes flashed with fierceness, but then it was hidden: "I heard about his deeds, Ansadine, Magda, Belom... To be honest, with the strength of these guys, it may not be good for us to fight against the old guys. But he was a young scout who had never made a name for himself before, and in just half a year he was able to deal with all of these powerful enemies - quite incredible. ”
Mograini didn't use a questioning tone, but when he said it, it was an obvious question, he shook his head, and then sighed: "It's a pity that there is not even a single person comparable to the millions of members in the sect. ”
This clearly expressed his attitude, Rubens knew that Mograine would definitely not say good things, so he was a little mentally prepared at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Bishop Mograine, I understand what you mean - people stand out in war, and only after experiencing blood and fire can they really understand how to fight those infidels, right?"
"That's all you see?" Mograini asked with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, he spread his hands and continued, "Roddy may be powerful, but even so, what does it mean?
Rubens' eyes narrowed, and he was silent and did not answer.
Mograine looked at Rubens, who was a little stubborn in his eyes, and said in a low tone: "Rubens, I don't know why you hold him in high esteem, but we don't need an outsider to be the savior... Isn't there a single person in our sect who can fight?"
"Naturally, there is, otherwise you wouldn't have personally commanded this big battle. ”
Rubens replied very indifferently, but it was like a formulaic compliment, which made people not feel much respect.
Mograini was a little annoyed by this sarcasm, but he was happy to see the other man's breathless look... No matter how he answered, when this war ended in victory, Rubens's position was completely incomparable to his own, and a few words of temptation and suppression at this time were enough to make the other party understand the advance and retreat.
"Alright, I just want to explain this to you... Dissensions within denominations are disputes, but no matter what the point of view is, it is always based on facts. ”
"You're right, Master Mograini. Any point of view must be made clear by facts. ”
Rubens didn't make any rebuttal, just replied respectfully - it made Mograini feel awkward about punching his fist into the air, but the feeling was fleeting, his goal had been achieved, and there was no point in talking more nonsense, so the unpleasant meeting ended quickly... And Rubens's lonely and somewhat deserted back seems to have foreshadowed his next fate.
Mograini turned around with gloomy eyes, reached out and picked up the letters on the desk that had been stacked into a stack and represented countless "good news", and snorted coldly: "No matter how much nonsense you talk about, this is a battle that must be won." ”
"Poof!"
Just when Mograini was full of confidence in the direction of the war, on the battlefield outside the Brill Forest, three "Shadow Guards" armed with sharp blades suddenly approached the heavily protected Bishop Fryer, repelled the guards, slashed the "Holy Shield", and cut off the commander's head with a knife in the next second before the other party had time to react...
Blood splattered, and the broken staff spun and flew out.
The guards who were knocked out on both sides tried to stand up, but they couldn't stop the crazy falling scimitar - everyone could only watch as Bishop Fryer was cut into several pieces, and instantly became a puddle of rotten meat that fell to the ground with a "crackle"...
No one thought that within half an hour of the "start of the decisive battle", the situation on the entire battlefield would take such a sharp turn - the seemingly large number of reinforcements did not relieve the main force as expected, but were caught off guard by the enemy's "reserves"!
The reinforcements did not leave any "reserves", and at this time they could only face these sudden "shadow guards" and a large number of enemies who followed them on the battlefield...
And the "Shadow Guard" that appeared at first, with the second and third batches of smoke falling from the sky, the overall number still exceeded two hundred.
Although it is not a large number compared to the total number of combat troops of more than 6,000, their existence has instantly enhanced the propulsion ability of the "Pit Viper Cross" troops - the "Rosencruc" team that had stubbornly resisted was crushed by them, and almost every team led by the "Shadow Guard" never stopped advancing!
Fighting and fighting, the reinforcements unknowingly mixed with the "main force" - but after losing Commander Fryer, the separate teams were powerless in front of the "Shadow Guard", and were immediately divided by the "Shadow Guards"...
For Roddy, the only way to change the tide of battle in this situation is to "find" and "kill" the powerful Shadow Priest!
But this kind of thing can only be thought about, he looked at the enemies rushing around him, and finally had to let the "Da Duck" swoop down from the sky, and then grabbed its claws as the opponent roared past, and directly flew away from the battlefield.
For these teams of the "Rosicrucius", Roddy has really done his duty: everything that needs to be done has been done, and if he still can't stop the enemy's footsteps, he doesn't need to accompany these guys to death... However, in order to confirm Sally's condition, Roddy finally decided to let Da Duck take him and fly straight in the direction of the teams.
Such an astonishing way of moving immediately attracted a lot of attention on the battlefield, but only a few seconds later, the two sides were once again immersed in desperate hand-to-hand combat, and no one thought about the strange scene they had just seen...
On the other side, Sally's team had just arrived in the village as planned.
Because of the large-scale fighting in the distance, the villagers at this time hid in their homes because of fear and apprehension, and the whole village was quiet as far as the eye could see, and no one was seen at all. Sally expected this, and she stepped over to a thatched hut and cautiously ordered the soldiers around her: "Search the area around the village to make sure there are no enemies." ”
"Yes, Captain!"
Sally looked around, the soldiers who escaped with her were embarrassed at this time, and they didn't look like an army at all, and the other two squads could only be described as "lost souls", sitting on the ground blankly and gasping for breath, like wild dogs that had been beaten.
Looking back, the house behind him didn't look dilapidated, the shepherd dog at the door cowered and sniffed the air and didn't dare to approach, and a group of sheep were walking slowly from a distance...
Although Sally's face remained unchanged at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little desperate in her heart, but before she could think about how to boost morale in such an environment, a short alarm sounded not far away instantly!
Before Sally could send someone to confirm the danger, an unprecedented shout of killing suddenly sounded not far from the village!
Looking back, Sally found that at this time, it was actually a dozen guys wearing "Rosicrucius" robes pouring out of the village, they raised their weapons high, and with the two cavalry squads that appeared on the outskirts of the village, they rushed straight towards Sally's location!
"This is..."
"It's an enemy in disguise! Shrink your defenses and look for cover!"
"Watch out for the enemy's cavalry!"
Sally's face turned pale in an instant: she didn't expect there to be an enemy ambush here!
Although there were not many enemies pouring out of the village, they collided with this team as fast as they could, and firmly held back the footsteps of Sally and the others!
"Hum—"
The four magicians in the team immediately began to cast magic on the surrounding soldiers, and Sally also cast a "sacred shield" for herself, and then tried to grit her teeth and began to sprinkle the "power of the lion king" around, but after raising her hand, Sally turned pale and seemed to freeze in place...
The mana is close to zero, and Sally can't cast the magic at this time!
And not only that, but before she could come back to her senses, a loud noisy shout suddenly came to mind around her.
"There's a mage on the other side!"
"Captain, be careful!"
"Hide—"
Sally turned her head, only to find that one of the dozen or so people rushing towards her was pointing her staff at her...
The purple light flashed, and with a "boom", a violent wave of qi exploded in front of Sally, and the "Shadow Blast" shattered the "Holy Shield" in front of Sally on the spot, and then the violent shock wave directly blew her delicate body away!
