Volume 1: The Believer of Light Chapter 48: Faith in the New Sun
The cavalry that remounted was not comparable to the infantry, even the light cavalry, and although the skeleton soldiers had been upgraded, they still gave way to the Necro Mountain under the onslaught of the light cavalry of the Marquis of Oherber and the golden lion.
The horses' hooves ran on the bone-paved road, and Arthur and the others were getting closer and closer to the Mount of the Necrons. At this moment, Arthur could already clearly feel the sense of oppression brought by the Necronomicon Mountain. Originally, I entered the Valley of the Kings today to pay tribute to Joseph and explore the mysterious cave, but I didn't expect it to become like this now. Although it is not clear why he doesn't remember what happened when he was unconscious, Arthur knew that what happened during that time must not be simple, maybe the riot of the undead in the Valley of the Kings had something to do with his coma!
Osad looked at Arthur, who rushed to the front without any surprise, and there was some surprise in his eyes. If His Royal Highness the Prince has completely lost his memory of what happened in front of the Necronomicon Mountain, then he can only rely on the memories of Master Heinris for what happened in the cave of the Necronomicon Mountain. Maybe there should be memories. Osad keenly sensed that if what happened in the cave of Necronomicon Mountain was announced, it would definitely cause the Elda continent to tremble!
With the help of the Golden Lion, Arthur's army soon arrived at Necronomicon Mountain. At this moment, the Necronomicon Mountain was still shrouded in black clouds, but there were very few skeleton soldiers. "Your Royal Highness?" the Marquis of Oheber first ordered his soldiers to form a defensive formation to fend off the pursuing skeletons. Then he dismounted and walked over to Arthur's side to ask about his next move.
The combat effectiveness of the light cavalry who dismounted was greatly weakened, and in addition, they were all lightly armoured, and without good defensive equipment, it was very difficult to defend. Fortunately, in front of the Necronomicon Mountain, the field is not very wide, and the mountains on both sides are still waisted in front of the Necro Mountain, and the attack of the skeleton army is limited, and the light cavalry does not need to face many skeleton soldiers at once.
However, if you only rely on light cavalry to block the skeleton army, then even if you resist, the losses will be extremely heavy. Arthur didn't want to see it, and the Marquis of O'Heber couldn't accept it, after all, two thousand of the three thousand light cavalry were his noble private soldiers.
The terrain in front of the Necronomicon Mountain is a valley sunken inward, with a narrow entrance, and the flat land less than twenty meters long rises with the Necronomicon Mountain.
After crouching down on the ground and writing and drawing, Arthur stood up and said to the Marquis of Auherber and General Osard who were around him: "Two generals, you see, the entrance to the Necronomicon Mountain is relatively narrow, which means that there are not many skeleton soldiers who can enter the Necronomicon Mountain valley at one time, and the ground of the Necronomicon Mountain is not too high. If we divide the cavalry into three groups, one group will stay on the flat ground in front of the mountain to temporarily ease the influx of the skeleton army, and the other two teams of cavalry will charge from the Necro Mountain to the valley entrance, and then return to the Necro Mountain against the mountain, and so on. At the same time, Uncle Joseph and I are a mobile team, and if there is an emergency, then we can save the scene in time. As long as we hold out until our father's reinforcements arrive, then our mission is complete. I wonder how Lord O'Heber and General Osard are doing at one time?"
Although both of them have different views on Arthur's plan, being able to come up with a plan in such a short period of time also shows that Arthur is not simple. Ossad and Ochber glanced at each other, and then said in unison, "Just do what His Royal Highness the Prince says!" "Okay, since the two adults have no opinion, then let's take action." I believe that my father's reinforcements will arrive soon. ”
While Ossad and the others began to organize their forces to implement Arthur's method, Dregri II's reinforcements were still slowly advancing into the Valley of the Kings.
Although with the help of magic blast arrows and fireballs, the 1st Heavy Infantry Regiment soon broke through into the valley. But after rushing in, he was trapped again. The hoplites were slow to move, and it took more time to move, giving the skeleton army time to fill in the void that had arisen after being baptized by the fireball technique.
"Why haven't you entered the valley yet?" asked Dragri II, who had already arrived at the Count of Palmers, and looked at the army of longbowmen still in the valley, with a displeased expression. "Your Majesty, the number of skeleton armies is too much, even if you use the magic blast arrows, you can only clear a clearing, but it will quickly replenish the skeleton army. So, we're still stuck at the mouth of the valley. Count Palmers looked a little embarrassed.
"How many salvos can the Magic Blaster hold?" said Delgree II, letting Count Palmers know that His Majesty was not angry. Palmers replied: "It's enough for four volleys." Because of the wrong estimation of the skeleton army, the Demon Blasters didn't carry a lot of them!" "Use them all. He then ordered Andrrigri to unleash the flames. I'm going to be at the Necro Mountain in twenty minutes!" Palmers' words made Palmers a little frightened, Delgree II gave too little time. After the Flame Burning Magic erupts in the valley, it will indeed be easy to wipe out those fragile skeleton armies, but the residual power of the Flame Burning Plain magic will also bring trouble to the advance of the hoplites, and the large-scale use of fire magic will also cause great damage to the environment of the Valley of the Kings.
"Just do what I say. Drage II urged. "Yes, Your Majesty!" said Count Palmers, who had made up his mind, few of them could persuade him to return.
When Andrrigri received the order from Dregri II, he was also a little shocked, and after a moment's hesitation, Andrrigri decided to release the flames.
As a high-level fire magic, the release of the Flame Flame requires a long chant. Unless you have a high-level fire-type shard to support or a magician to unleash it. As a white-robed mage, Andrrigri's chanting speed is not slow. After a minute of chanting, the fiery fire elemental began to stir among the skeleton armies in the Valley of the Kings. The collision of necromantic aura and fire elemental made the movement of the skeleton army even more distorted. With the staff in Andrrigri's hand slamming to the ground, the irascible fire elemental began to rage among the skeleton army. The hoplites standing in the first row clearly felt the heat hitting them, as if they were in purgatory. "Retreat" With the shouts of the squad leaders, the hoplite regiment began to retreat backwards slowly and orderly, widening the distance from the skeleton army, and the skeleton army scorched by the fire element had no time to care about the hoplites at this moment.
When the skeleton of the first skeleton soldier supporting his body made a crisp cracking sound, the sound of skeleton shattering rang out one after another in the skeleton army. Then it was like a volcanic eruption, and it was like dry wood being ignited. The sudden flames quickly covered the skeleton army like a wild horse. For a while, the place that was originally occupied by the skeleton army turned into a sea of fire elementals.
Count Palmers, who was standing far from the entrance to the Valley of the Kings, felt the heat wave blowing in, and was a little worried about whether the hoplites at the mouth of the valley would be able to support the heat. "Palmers, you don't need to worry. The Holy See will help us out. Dregri II's words were light and commonplace, but Count Palmers could hear the pain and struggle.
As a family closely related to the Ovit Kingdom, the Alan family still knows a little about some secrets of the Osapangon family, the ruling family of the Ovit Kingdom. Count Palmers knew the relationship between the Holy See and the kingdom. The hidden secrets of the Valley of the Kings are also somewhat understood. So as to why Drurge II wanted the Pope to be Prince Arthur's godfather, and promised the Holy See that Arthur would reach the Holy See as a paladin after he reached adulthood at the age of fifteen. Earl Palmers understands, but understanding does not mean recognition!
While Dragri II was talking to Count Palmers, Archbishop Terraria and Cardinal Jerry made their way through the hoplite phalanx to the front of the line.
Archbishop Terraria wielded a scepter, dressed in a cream-white robe that radiates the light of the sun god, as if the sun god himself had descended into the world. Some of the hoplites who believed in the sun god knelt down reverently after seeing the figure of Archbishop Terraria, offering their most sincere devotion to the sun god.
As the light of the scepter in his hand became brighter and brighter, the hoplite regiment, which had just felt the heat wave, suddenly felt cool and comfortable, and not only that, the fatigue left by the battle against the skeleton army was also swept away, and the whole body felt full of strength.
May the Lord guide the lost lamb back into the arms of the Lord. Archbishop Terraria chanted softly, then walked barefoot into the fiery realm covered in magic. With each step, the flames that were still burning in the land were extinguished, along with the ashes of the skeletons.
"Your Majesty, why did you agree to let the Holy See come forward to settle the Valley of the Kings incident? In this way, the Holy See will certainly take the opportunity to make a big deal about it and expand its influence. Earl Palmers asked. "Palmers, remember the soldiers who knelt down for the first time. As the backbone of the Ovite Kingdom, I don't want people in my legion to have two hearts. This event in the Valley of the Kings is a great opportunity, and there are some things that need to be done. Dergree II's words sent a chill in the hearts of the Earl of Palmers, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. It turned out that His Majesty had already planned for a long time.
When the last step was passed, there was no trace of the breath of the undead at the entrance of the entire Valley of the Kings, and the high-level magic fire had not left any traces in the Valley of the Kings, as if it had never been released.
Terraria looked back at Dregri II, who was standing on the hillside and commanding the whole situation, and a big smile appeared on her face, everything was as the Lord had expected.
Although the skeleton army at the entrance to the Valley of Kings has been successfully and easily dealt with by the Archbishop of Terraria, there are still a lot of them in the valley, and if they are not dealt with in time, then the cleared place will be covered by the skeleton army again, as before!
"Lord Jerry, now is your final contribution to the glory of the Lord!" Archbishop Terraria said softly, but in Cardinal Jerry's ears it sounded like thunder. Although he was unwilling, Bishop Jerry also understood that he was indeed no longer qualified to live if he said the wrong thing, and now he sacrificed himself, so he could still exchange for the opportunity to go to the kingdom of God.
Bishop Jerry walked past Archbishop Terraria, then fell to his knees and began to chant a hymn to the sun god, and as the praise grew stronger, the holy light on Bishop Jerry's body became more and more dazzling. In the end, Bishop Jerry's whole person was as bright as a newborn sun!
Archbishop Terraria looked at the Divine New Sun in front of him with satisfaction, then held his hands in his hands and began to walk slowly towards the Valley of the Kings.
