Chapter 401: Diversions and Sneak Attacks
On the other side of the night, Bishop Victor and his team were quietly heading towards Riley City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lord Bishop, this time, we must put that guy to death. ”
A paladin followed the bishop as a personal bodyguard, but with a somewhat eager expression of anticipation, he spoke.
In these days, the assassination of priests and the publication of newspapers, the church has received enough anger from Benjamin. Even as a paladin, he almost didn't close his eyes for several days in order to clean up the newspapers plastered all over Snowy City.
How could he not hate Benjamin?
In his mind, how could the dignity of God have ever been provoked in this way? Therefore, he even asked himself to arrest Benjamin, only to be stopped by the bishop.
"Even if you find him, will you be his opponent?" said the bishop to him at the time, "be patient, and soon the boy's fox tail will be revealed." ”
When he first heard this, the paladin didn't understand what it meant. Soon, however, news of the parade in Riley City arrived, and it dawned on him. It seems that the kid thought that his wings were stiff, and he wanted to stand up and call on the mages of the world to fight against the will of God.
The paladin couldn't help but pray in his heart. Sure enough, all those who try to fight against God will end up in a self-destructive madness.
In this way, he grasped the bishop's painstaking efforts. And the Bishop has been prepared for this for a long time.
The soldiers were secretly mobilized, and the priests were divided into several groups and set out with the army, and even every hidden route was carefully designed, so that the enemy would become a turtle in the urn without realizing it!
The paladin was confident in this plan. Under such a vast army, no matter how strong the other party is, it is impossible to resist it, not to mention that the bishop prevents the enemy from escaping, and also specially brings holy relics.
As soon as he thought of this, his mood became more expectant.
The mage who had humiliated them - his time of death had come.
"Be careful. However, the bishop opened his mouth and whispered, "The other party is also cautious. The news had just come from the undercover agent that this afternoon, he had gathered his mages and met outside the city of Riley to discuss the details of the parade. They probably haven't entered Riley yet, and if we run into them and scare them all away, we'll lose more than we can gain. ”
When the paladin heard this, he also quickly took a deep breath, looked around, and even breathed a lot quieter.
The Bishop is right. The other party has been haunted and tortured them to the point of madness. Now that they finally have a chance, they must not make any mistakes.
They have to wait until all the mages enter Riley City, start the parade, and the leader appears, and then cooperate with the other six teams to surround Riley City, so that the enemy can not fly!
In this way, they walked carefully in the dark, taking the deserted path, because they occasionally had to deal with the magical beasts they encountered on the way, and the speed of progress was very slow.
"Alright, let's rest here for a while. In front of us is Black Rock Valley, there are a lot of monsters, so be careful when we go over. ”
I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly the bishop stopped, and passed the order down to the group behind him.
The soldiers and priests were relieved when they received the order.
Marching at night is already tiring enough, plus they have to deal with the demonic beasts that pop up from time to time, and if they don't rest for a while, I'm afraid something will happen.
So everyone sat down on the floor, took out dry food and water, and prepared to rest for a while.
The bishop stood at the front of the line, looking out at the valley not far away, not saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Excellency, drink water. The paladin walked up with a bag of water in his hand and said respectfully.
The bishop nodded, took a few sips of water, put down the water bag, and suddenly spoke: "Do you think...... This valley is a little too quiet?"
When the paladin heard this, he also frowned, stared at it for a while, and said, "Maybe it's because of the Warcraft." Many monsters become very quiet when hunting, and only when the prey enters their attack range will suddenly rush out of the grass. ”
The bishop thought for a moment and said, "So, they're waiting for us to come over?"
The paladin smiled and said, "It's just a group of demonic beasts, just deal with it, why bother with this kind of thing?"
"Can't say that. There are also a lot of tricky magical beasts on this continent that cannot be taken lightly. The bishop frowned, and hesitated, "I...... I had a bad feeling that it wasn't good. Later, we'll go around Black Rock Valley and go somewhere else. ”
...... Do you want to be rerouted?
The paladin was a little surprised, because a group of demonic beasts had changed their course, and the bishop was really careful.
He didn't quite understand, but he didn't dispute either. It's not a big deal, if the Bishop wants to take a long detour, then take a long detour, time is not yet tight to that point.
However, he glanced at the valley again with some curiosity.
Is it tricky......
Unlike Freden, the Kingdom of Horry has very few Warcraft, and he had never fought against Warcraft before coming here. I wonder how powerful the demonic beast that can make even the bishop feel tricky?
At that moment, he suddenly wanted to go over and have a look. It's a pity that the bishop's order is already here, and he can't act on his own. So, after resting for ten minutes, he followed the whole group and set out again, turning around and preparing to go around the west side of the valley.
However, just as the whole team turned......
"Hey...... What's that?"
With an exclamation, something happened suddenly.
Everyone looked up to the sky.
I saw that the sky that was originally starless and moonless was replaced by a crystal clear ice surface at this moment. It was a spectacular sight, and the ice appeared there without warning, as vast as a lake, except that ...... It was a lake of ice that flew above them, barely as far as the eye could see.
They were stunned.
On the ice, which was about twenty meters away from them, their stunned faces were reflected.
and bishops whose faces changed abruptly.
"No! there's an ambush, run—!" At that moment, the bishop suddenly turned his head and glared in the direction of the valley, his voice torn to the point of madness.
The paladin could swear that he had never seen the bishop look so hysterical.
Most of the people have not yet reacted, and they don't know why the bishop is shouting so hysterically. However, something suddenly appeared above their heads that was completely counterintuitive, and as normal people, their instinct also told them to quickly dodge.
However, the "ice lake" above their heads didn't seem to give them time to dodge.
Almost as soon as the bishop shouted, the huge ice in the sky suddenly shook and fell straight down towards them. At that moment, the soldiers raised their heads and even had the feeling of seeing the sky fall.
Oh, my God......
How so?
The range of the ice surface is very wide, although it does not cover the entire team, but like the bishop's side, it can be said that it is directly facing the center point of the ice surface, and it is impossible to escape!
Therefore, the bishops, the priests, and some of the soldiers ...... They have nothing to do but resist!
At that moment, the originally well-organized army fell into complete chaos. The soldiers fled in a hurry, not thinking about how to resist at all. A lake of ice the size of a lake in the sky smashed down on their heads, and they were beaten with iron, and they had to be smashed to pieces, right?
Even some of the priests forgot to pronounce the incantation, and used some magic such as a shield to block the falling ice.
Only Bishop Victor, with a pious face, raised his hands high, aimed at the ice, and suddenly a very brilliant holy light shone in his hands, like the first star born in the vast universe.
Faintly looking at it, in the holy light, it seemed to be a vague cup shape.
