Chapter 748: The Beginning of the Counterattack
"Not yet...... We'll have to wait a little longer......"
Hiding in a tree and listening to the sound of a fierce fight coming from the forest, Benjamin couldn't help but clench his fists and muttered to himself in some confusion in his heart.
According to their plan, at least two-thirds of the pursuers must enter the designated range before they can show up and counterattack. But before that, it is clear that the large army that is the decoy will be subjected to a severe test.
In the picture he sensed, many soldiers in the back row had been caught up by the knights of the church. Some people rushed forward and killed them directly before they could resist, and some people stopped and gritted their teeth to fight for their lives, but in the end, they inevitably besieged the fate of the ...... It was a rather brutal picture, especially of the wounded, who rolled to the ground, howling in pain, only to be trampled by iron hooves to the point where their bodies could not be saved.
Benjamin wanted to jump out and end it all, but he had to hold back.
The ambush is exposed in advance, and the significance of the ambush will be greatly weakened. If they can't inflict heavy losses on their pursuers in one fell swoop, then in the next battle, it will lead to even more heavy losses.
In addition, he discovered some shortcomings in the ambush plan.
- It was the knights who chased them into the woods, and the priests were mostly still flying in the sky, indifferently looking down on everything below. They seem to think they don't have the need to make a move, and few of them chase them into the woods themselves.
"Is there any way to lure those priests into the woods?" he asked in his mind.
"Nope. The system replied lazily, "People are not stupid, knights alone can solve everyone, why should they waste their mental power?"
Benjamin couldn't help but rub his temples.
If the priests refuse to fly in, then ...... When the time comes, you can only force your hand at them.
The number of priests in the sky was still quite large, close to a thousand people, like a thick cloud, obscuring the last bit of light in the sky. There are probably two or three bishops among them, and they must be dealt with first, otherwise they will definitely get into great trouble.
Benjamin mentally marked their location and gradually got ready.
And when the pursuers in the woods have been lured almost as much......
Rumble!
Benjamin did not hesitate to detonate the ice that had been buried in advance with a loud bang. The whole forest seemed to have been plunged into an earthquake, and everyone in the forest only felt that the ground was shaking, and many of the cavalry fell off their horses, while the other pursuers looked around in astonishment, with a panicked expression.
And at this moment, the Ikor's army, which had been holding back for an unknown amount of time, finally began to counterattack!
"Kill!"
The overwhelming shouts of killing sounded from all directions, and the pursuers who had just been invincible suddenly fell into a complete encirclement. And those Ikor's soldiers who were fleeing in all directions also changed their momentum at this moment, drew their swords, turned around, and rushed towards the pursuers!
"Kill all these bitches!"
"Avenge General Kent!
"I'll let you chase me!
The anger that had been accumulating to its peak erupted like a volcano, instantly drowning the group of dazed knights. They may not have thought until they died, why these soldiers, who had just been slaughtered, would burst out with such a terrible war intent at this moment.
Not only that, but the mage who had been patient for a long time suddenly jumped out of the tree, and the overwhelming magic was summoned, and it was launched madly towards the still dazed pursuers!
The dim woods shone after another at this moment.
The pursuers of the Kingdom of Hori were in a state of complete collapse.
Southeast, northwest, up, down, left, right, ...... Wherever they looked, they could see that there were enemies everywhere. At that moment, the pursuers were completely in chaos, and they didn't even know what to do, so they could only spin in place in a daze.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"There's an ambush!
"We can't withdraw! God's will guides us, we are all a bunch of lost dogs, we will kill them all!"
In the chaotic environment, everyone was almost shouting something, and even the captain of the cavalry could not give orders to unify everyone's actions. And once those people fight on their own, they can't be called an army.
Not to mention the wooded environment that was not conducive to cavalry play. A group of cavalry that stopped the charge...... So what's there to be afraid of?
It doesn't even take Benjamin's hand.
"Oh no! they set up an ambush in the woods!"
In the sky, the priests looked down in disbelief. They don't understand, they have been beaten to the ground, where did these Ikor soldiers get the courage to dare to attack them?
However, they did not look too alarmed.
"Bishop Hunt, you take someone down and help them. An older bishop spoke slowly, and said in a calm tone, "Ants are ants after all, and if you let them go for a while, they will think they can bite an elephant." ”
Beside him, another bishop nodded, waved, and flew toward the woods below with a large group of priests.
Suddenly, there were only two bishops and dozens of priests left in the sky. They casually looked at the scene below, at the scene of Bishop Hunt leading the priest to fight against Ikor Army, and even showed a somewhat bored look.
"The damage is likely to be much greater than in the past, and we would do well to think about how we will explain this to His Majesty the Pope. Another somewhat obese bishop spoke.
"What is there to explain, and not a blessed paladin. The elder bishop shook his head and said, "His Majesty the Pope will not blame us for this, at most Bishop Harry is going to spread some rumors behind his back, so there is nothing to fear." ”
"Bishop Harry...... "The fat bishop sneered, "as a bishop, he just messes with all that nonsense, and I don't understand how he became a bishop." ”
The older bishop didn't say anything, but he could feel his approval in his contemptuous snort.
However, just as the bishops were busy talking about their colleagues behind their backs, a figure suddenly flew out of the woods below, swished, and rushed towards them.
"Wait, that's ......"
Suddenly, the priest and the bishop in the sky were stunned.
Before they could see what they were, the figure quickly approached them. In a hurry, they could only use magic props one after another, stretch out the barrier, and instinctively protect themselves.
However, something happened that they never expected.
- The figure didn't slow down for half a minute, and reality rushed towards the older bishop, directly passing through his barrier of holy light!
And in the other party's hand, a dagger shone in the moonlight.
"Like the surprise?"
Benjamin stopped in front of the bishop, broke away from the momentary nothingness, then raised the dagger in his hand and swung it down fiercely!
