Chapter 183: The Danger of Wengzhong
The Sage of the Sword, since his debut fifty years ago, like a rising star, Camillo he does not use spells, does not practice other techniques, and pours all his voice into the swordsmanship, he is sharp, he has created countless records that break the tradition, and it only took fifty years to condense the iron will, and he was promoted to a hero-level powerhouse, and he deserved the reputation of the Sage in the sword.
And the other hero-level god who is parallel to him, the wave god of law, Saqil, does not have an iron will, and the strongest person in the law system does not have an iron will, but an elemental heart that is not inferior to the iron will. Before possessing the Iron Will or the Elemental Heart, mortals are mortals after all, and even the strongest mortals still can't resist the superior demons.
Once a superior demon appears, only heroes can fight against it, and only their iron will or elemental heart can exempt them from the reality-bending power of the superior demon. Neither the mountain of corpses nor the warped space of the sea of blood could shake the will of the hero.
Many people have wondered that when it comes to force value, the gap between hero-level powerhouses and elite saints does not seem to be large, but the real strength of heroes is not their strength.
The three strongest swords in the battle plan, the Sword Master, the Wave Law God, and the Force King, the three of them led the outstanding warriors among the more than twenty saints, and followed closely behind the Knights of Damnation, but the seven hundred servants did not follow, they chose a flat land as a camp.
"Castlevania is extremely sensitive to large-scale death, and if there are too many knights who die later, it will not be easy to deal with a 'blood tide'. Three hundred knights, isn't it...... It's too much. ”
This question. entwined in the hearts of almost all the saints.
Why, Camelot's scattered demon hunting regiment is larger than the army? Isn't that ironic!
It is not the leaders of the Holy City who are ignorant. Instead of developing the size of the army, it is likely to attract a "blood tide" whenever there are too many sacrifices and deaths on the battlefield. The large number of troops means that the death toll on the battlefield will be high, which means that there will be a blood tide inevitably.
The closer you get to Castlevania, the more likely it is that the battle on the ground will attract a blood tide. This is Camelot's hard wound against the demonic forces all along, and he can't gather a large army. It is also the reason why Camelot developed the Demon Hunter Regiment and a few excellent warriors.
So, even if the Holy City sent an army, it rarely exceeded the number of a hundred men. Even if an army is forced to be assembled, the large army sent out will be divided into several squads, trying to avoid unnecessary blood surges.
The Knights of Damnation marched very fast, and the three of them, the strongest of the swords, led a group of excellent saints. Aside from the seven hundred subordinates. Swept in the direction of the corpse giant. The crimson earth was rapidly receding, the whistling wind blew behind her ears, Camillo's lithe body flew like catkins on the ground, the wave god was only a little slower than Camillo, and the suspended aqua-blue aura dragged Sakiel's body, making her fly low in the air like a gust of wind.
And the King of Power is much slower, he is only a little faster than the twenty-odd saints, you must know that Athos is good at power. But it's not speed, especially the zigzag speed that is Athos's disadvantage.
More than twenty strategic knives stabbed into the territory of the Hills of the Dead. Crossing the waters of the green Dead River that straddles both banks, the surrounding environment gradually curves to the surface. There was no life on the black-gray surface, and there was not a single plant on the bare ground, except for the dry pitch-black trunks.
A few black dots in the distance accompanied the approach of the two heroes, and their shadows became clearer and clearer. Those were a few warriors in silver-white armor, with double-headed silver spears in their hands, staggering and rolling their eyes around. The crimson blood stained the cross badge on their chests, and their fair skin turned a dead gray.
There were countless horseshoe prints on the ground, as well as traces of blood stained red, as if a battle had taken place not long ago. As for the people who wandered through the hills at the moment, although they were still wearing the armor of the Templar, they were no longer the warriors of the Templar. They are dead, but they have risen again after being dominated by evil forces, and have become eternal enemies of the Templar, on the same side as the other undead demons.
It seems that the final troops of the third wave of the Holy City have been discovered, these resurrected knight corpses, all let out a bloodthirsty roar, the black lines under their skin suddenly bulged out a hideous black green tendon, the toddler step has been upgraded to the speed of a cheetah, they still have the fighting instinct of life, even after death, they still remember to hold their weapons, these dead and resurrected knight undead, they fearlessly held spears and rushed towards Camillo, Sykir and others.
Don't hesitate to make a move, even if the other party was your brother and your family before, but after being controlled by the evil forces, he is your enemy.
There can be no mercy on the enemy! If you want to stop seeing more sacrifices and more bloodshed, you can only resolutely and decisively destroy the enemy!
Camillo, who has a speed of more than twenty meters per second, has the fastest physical strength and reaction speed, and in the blink of an eye, he is already close to those knight undead. The fastest Camillo, the knight undead who rushed over, and the moment before the two were about to collide, Camillo held the single-edged heavy sword behind his back with one hand.
Holding the handle of the single-edged heavy sword, Camero's eyes sharpened, and his suddenly contracted pupils erupted into strong spiritual fluctuations, and the invisible spiritual power spread out.
The next moment, Camillo flew and staggered past several knight spirits who had burst out of their spears, and he didn't look back, he put down my sword's hand, and never pulled out his sword. However, several knight undead holding spears behind them froze in place, their arms still maintaining the movement of spears about to pierce out, like hardened statues.
The saints crossed the hill in a hurry, and not a single one of them wasted time on the knightly undead.
Six or seven kilometers away, at the speed of the excellent warriors among these saints, it didn't take long for them to leave such a long distance behind, but in a few minutes, they had already reached the feet of the behemoth of the corpse giant.
The Knights of Damnation's charging formation is not strong, a blessing weapon that destroys evil. Plated with pure silver, the Knights of the Damned have an advantage over the dark forces. Pegasi's dashing speed allows their spears to easily pierce through thick defenses. At this moment. The corpse giant's two ankles were already blurred with flesh and blood, and black blood was splashed with a puff, and the remaining two hundred or so knights on the surface shuttled through the floating hills, urging the horses under the seat to leap over the hills to open up the distance, and once again launch a free charge at the ankles of the corpse giant.
The swaying corpse giant, every time the body shakes, it will be a potentially lethal factor for those knights on the ground. Because if such a huge body falls, it will definitely be a crushing death. However, the Knights of Damnation had no choice, they had to destroy the feet that supported the flesh giant. Bring the giant down to attack the rest of the corpse giant.
"Help them, enough people have died."
Saqir sighed and said softly.
"We're already close to Castlevania. Too many deaths. Maybe it will cause a blood tide in advance. ”
Camillo only had the brilliance of reason in his eyes, but he was ready to make a move.
"Are you crazy? How much strength does it take to kill such a big monster! When we do this, aren't we telling the demons plainly that we are here? ”
Athos, who was bare-chested, walked over, stood on the commanding heights of reason, and opened his arms to accuse the two heroes of ignoring the objectives of the mission.
The elite warriors among the more than twenty saints looked at the three of them silently. They didn't have the right to interject, but that didn't prevent them from looking at Atos with cold eyes. They only felt the selfishness of Athos. It is useless to experience the "justice" of Athos.
Those who are sacrificing their lives to fight are their brothers! They are brothers who fight to the death for their ideals! Could it be that he obviously has the power to save them, but for inexplicable reasons, he watched them die?
Perhaps none of the Knights of Damnation were afraid of death, but just looking at them like this, resolutely dying, how could these saints endure the torture in their hearts.
Camillo's hand once again grasped the single-edged heavy sword.
The moment he grasped the hilt of his sword, Camillo's brown pupils suddenly contracted, and an invisible wave spread out from it. Camillo slanted his eyes and looked at Athos with an indifferent gaze: "If you're afraid, just stand aside and watch." ”
"Let's get on, it's a quick fix."
Saqir closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a pair of pupils bloomed with an aqua blue divine light. In a radius of tens of meters around Saqir, the air inexplicably became warm and humid, and even in the air within a few meters of Saqir, substantial water droplets appeared.
Holding the hilt of his sword, Camillo exuded invisible fluctuations around him, and he curled the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Just wait for your words, ma'am." ”
Qiang――
The blade of the single-edged heavy sword slashed across the metal sword case, and the beautiful metal trills shook suddenly, and Camillo pulled out the two-meter-long heavy sword and pointed straight ahead, the sword in his hand suddenly swelled into an incomparably strong invisible wave, forming a radioactive whirlwind around Camillo.
Camillo's figure suddenly disappeared in place, and the next moment, he appeared more than ten meters away in a blurred afterimage and shot towards the corpse giant. The Knights of Retribution had a knight leader to launch a free charge, and when they spotted the man who was almost to the point of the afterimage distortion, the morale of these Knights of Damnation was like boiling oil poured into a fire, and their fighting spirit was blazing.
The flag bearer with a childish silhouette on his face, his eyes looking at the afterimage were full of excitement, and his throat almost shouted bloody: "Charge freely, cover the hero!" Kill—"
"Roar—"
The moment the sword saint Camillo appeared, the Knights of Damnation completely entered the frenzy of giving up life and death, and they were using their bravery and their own uselessness to prove to that hero that the Knights of Damnation were the strongest warriors of Camelot! Some knights even no longer care about their physical endurance, and ride their mounts with the fervent intent to die together, sacrificing their lives to crash into the flesh giant's feet, piercing the flesh of the corpse giant with their spears and slamming their own bodies into the flesh giant's ankles.
Blood rained down, people turned on their backs, and the death toll of the Knights of Damnation rose sharply. Camilo knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and that once these fanatical battle maniacs started fighting, they wouldn't listen to anyone, and only kill the corpse giants faster before they died.
"Madam, don't make a move, send me up, I'll be enough alone."
Hearing that Seqir was about to brew a high-level spell, she froze slightly. Forcibly changed the cast form of the channeled spell. The lightweight mana conversion was a manifestation of Saqil's strength, and she almost instantaneously unleashed the spell, shooting a volley of ice spears into the head of the corpse giant.
Jump on the icicle. Camillo held a sword in one hand and an icicle in the other and flew towards the corpse giant, and when he was less than twenty meters away from the corpse giant, he jumped on the icicle and jumped suddenly, swooping down to the surface at a height of thirty or fifty meters. Head and foot, Camillo held his single-edged heavy sword in front of him with both hands, and the blade easily sliced through the air and flew from both sides. His eyes gradually lit up with a real cold light. Invisible fluctuations full of destructive power spread all over Camillo's body, cutting a sharp wind blade behind him.
Because of the appearance of a hero-level powerhouse, the Knight of Damnation has become even more fanatical and fearless of death. The saints led by Saqil were silently watching Camillo swooping down from a distance.
I saw that Camilo shot at the corpse giant like a meteor falling to the ground, and a sharp cold light suddenly flashed in front of their eyes. Just looking at the half-moon-shaped cold light. The twenty or so people, except for Saqir and Athos, were stabbed in the eyes.
Such a terrifying cold light, which can even affect people's vision, is not at all a realm that can be achieved by pure force, this is an attack that only a hero-level powerhouse can launch.
The cold light flashed, and everything was quiet.
The corpse giant's barely managed to grow its head left its neck once again. The skull, squeezed by countless corpses, fell like the rolling stones of a catapult. Covering the group of Knights of the Damned below, who had no time to dodge, in the shadows.
"Sneer—sneer—"
Two cold crescent moon rays of cold light suddenly pierced through the revelation, and were split into three pieces in the air. It fell with a snap, allowing most of the knights below who had too late to dodge to escape.
But that's not the end.
The first wave of surprise attacks also eliminated the corpse giant's Tonglu, but that was useless, the corpse giant's weakness was not the head at all. Camillo, who still doesn't know the weakness of the corpse giant, really miscalculated. The corpse giant who lost his head was not only alive, but the head that had been cut into three pieces and fell off decomposed.
The gray claws reached out, grabbing the corpse's skin on the surface of the skull and burrowing out. The severed head disintegrated the squeezed structure in the constant wriggling, and the corpses that made up the skull came to life one by one. A severed head turned into dozens of dead corpses in the blink of an eye, and the teeth and claws exerted a terrifying explosive power, black blood penetrated their whole bodies, and the bulging blood vessels transported the blood with a violent flow rate, pushing them out of their speed as fast as a leopard.
"Cut ......"
Seeing these extra undead, Camillo had an expression on his face that he had already known that this would be the case, he turned around and beckoned, and the wave god behind him nodded slightly.
In large-scale battles, a mage is always better at group combat than a melee swordsman.
"Everyone, stand still and don't move—"
Just as Sekiel was brewing a large-scale spell, a man fell out of the corpse giant's broken neck.
Camillo was waiting under the corpse giant, in case the Damned Knight could not resist the frenzied battle intent to continue to send him to death, so he could clearly see that the thing that fell out of the corpse giant's neck was not human at all, covered in bright red blood, his body was as thin as a skeleton, and his hands were covered with black sharp nails.
Seeing the humanoid demon fall towards him, Camillo swung his single-edged heavy sword, ready to wait for it to enter his range and slash it, but the next scene did not give Camillo this chance.
The corpse giant's severed neck, and a thick, gray-white tentacle shot out, enveloping the demon and pulling it back.
Just seven or eight meters below the neck of the corpse giant, Qiao Li looked at Dian Dian with a gloomy face, and at this moment he was already thinking about how to escape later. The bloodstained monster with sharp claws was the only soul servant that Jory could unleash so far, and the moment his soul servant was thrown out, he saw what happened outside the corpse giant's body.
The cavalry who shouted to kill the earth-shattering and a man who exuded an extremely dangerous aura, judging from their temperament and appearance, were not at all on the side of the demonic forces.
Trouble, I am surrounded by the enemies of the Holy City......
Turning his head to look at the pure black distorted light and shadow not far away, Jory gritted his teeth, grabbed the bloody man's arm, and used his strength to lean towards the flesh to throw it over, and then he disintegrated into a blood mist and chased after the bloody man. The Blood Man's movements are so agile that they almost violate the laws of physics, and the eaves and walls are not enough to describe its movements, and it is not difficult for it to reverse its joints and crawl and fly.
With the help of Jory's throwing power, the blood corpse rushed to the front, using his claws to clear the way for his master.
Hurry up, hurry up!
After knowing that there was a group of spawn enemies out there, Jory had no other thoughts. God knows if they were aware of themselves hiding inside the corpse giant, but it is conceivable that once the corpse giant is eliminated by them, they will be discovered immediately after. Although Jory has not yet formed any great hatred with the saints, the Holy City warriors who hate the demons extremely much, there is no need to guess what they will do to Jory, just because they can be refined into rare spell marks, Camelot's people will not let Jory go.
The only way to break the siege is to get the Resentment Aggregate before Jory is discovered!
"A collection of resentment...... It's mine! ”
By this time, it had become a battle against time for Jory, either to be discovered by the Saints and kill him, or to get the Resentment Ensemble first, take control of the first army and cover his escape.
Time is urgent! (To be continued......)
