Chapter 527: Ending the Battle
The scene gradually evolved from the initial scuffle to the later massacre.
Faced with dozens of times the number of soldiers, the paladin has cut off any possibility of escape. Most of them were hacked to death by swords in the battle, and only a few dozen people chose to give in, throwing away their armor and holding their heads in their hands, kneeling in humiliation in front of these ordinary soldiers.
"No, don't kill me, I surrender ......"
Even the paladins have some people in them who are not so strong in their beliefs. In this mortal situation, they can only choose to turn their backs on the so-called gods and become captives.
And the priests, it seems, their faith is much stronger. The flightless priest was drowned in the crowd and soon became a cold corpse. The flying priest tried to escape, but was mercilessly stopped by Benjamin and his party.
Hit the back, and the water-shaped birds flying all over the sky have even accumulated to as many as five thousand. They hovered high in the air, weaving an impermeable web that made the priest feel a suffocating pressure.
"This ...... What kind of magic is this? How could he control so many things at the same time?"
The priests stretched out their shields and tried to fend off the birds' repeated attacks. In fact, the birds pose a small threat to them, but ...... I can't stand the repeated attacks of so many birds!
Not to mention the other mages who are eyeing them from the sidelines.
Not long after the fight began, the priests' hearts were left with only retreat. They frantically broke through in Benjamin's interception, and most of them died in it. In the end, in the process of this constant confrontation, about a hundred priests broke through the blockade and disappeared into the sky.
Benjamin wanted to chase them, but it was difficult for them to be recovered, so he gave up.
- There are only more than 100 priests left, and there is no climate.
"I ...... I...... God will punish you for your ......"
It wasn't until the last priest, with a look of resentment, that he cursed and fell back to the ground, and Benjamin's battle with the church was finally over.
The soldiers raised their heads and looked at the king in the sky, their eyes showing a rare tiredness and lightness. Sunlight poured through the gaps in the birds, falling on their bloodstained faces.
Benjamin also took a deep breath and retracted the birds in the sky, revealing a clear sky.
Finally won.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, he knew that this was an extremely tragic battle. The resistance of the priests and paladins before their deaths resulted in the death of at least a few thousand soldiers. The air was filled with a pungent smell, and blood and severed limbs filled the ground beneath their feet like grain piled up in granaries.
For Carretus, it was a brutal result. But...... In any case, they won.
At this junction, called Merkel, an ambush battle was fought between the King's Army and the Church. The king's army won a great victory, inflicting heavy losses on the Church's army. The battle rewrote the situation in Carretus, with the Church losing control and the King's army in his hands, laying the military foundation for a later return to Glory.
- If later generations had recorded this battle in the annals of Caritus, they might have used such a description.
Thinking so, Benjamin smiled.
He suddenly turned his head, looked at the king beside him, and said, "Your Majesty, we have won this battle. ”
At that moment, the king closed his eyes, and his whole body trembled slightly. He was silent for a long time before he opened his eyes, looked at the head of Wuyang Wuyang below, and took a deep breath.
"You're doing a great job. He tried not to shake his voice too much, and said slowly, "You saved me." You saved all of Carretus. You guys...... is a hero of this country. ”
Tens of thousands of soldiers looked up at the king, and there was silence for a while.
Seeing this, the king also came to his senses and nodded.
The generals who commanded these soldiers basically died in this battle. Therefore, what they need now is not thanks, but orders. They need someone to declare victory and tell them what to do next.
It's like a ritual.
- A ritual to regain the pinnacle of power.
"We won. So he regained his composure, smiled like a king, glanced around the army, and said, "All right, let's pack up the battlefield and get ready to return to Glori." ”
Receiving the order, the soldiers also bowed their heads. Under the command of the general, they put away their weapons, treated the wounded, sorted out the prisoners...... Start dealing with this battlefield at hand.
The king also fell back to the ground with the mages in the sky.
"Master Benjamin, don't say much about that. The king patted Benjamin on the shoulder and said, "Surely I would not have been able to get this far without your help." ”
Benjamin smiled and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, it's not time to really relax. He spoke slowly, "The direction in which those priests fled is Glori, just in case, we had better rush to Glory immediately and take the capital." ”
The king was stunned for a moment, and said, "This ...... What else can there be, just such a few people, can you still keep Glori?"
"Of course, it is impossible to hold Glori, but it is not impossible if they are ruthless enough to burn the entire city with a single fire before they retreat. ”
When the king heard this, his face changed drastically, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Quick! take me to Glori! Glori's destroyed by them. ”
Benjamin nodded.
In this way, after the end of this ambush, the large army was left here, managed by the general and several mages, and slowly marched to Glori. The king himself, on the other hand, was carried by Benjamin and flew quickly towards Glory.
"Can it be any faster?"
In mid-air, the wind whistled through the cheeks of the two, blowing so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. But in spite of this, the king showed no signs of being frightened, but felt too slow.
There was no way, he was really afraid that when they arrived at Glori, the only thing he could see was a sea of fire.
"Your Majesty, don't worry so much, those priests can't fly as fast as me. Benjamin was much calmer, "They ran a little earlier, and we're sure we'll be able to catch up." ”
When the king heard this, he took a deep breath and was a little relieved.
They weren't too far away from Glori, and Benjamin was at full throttle, flying there as fast as he could. So, after about four hours, Benjamin arrived at Glory with the king.
Glori's gates were closed, and there were still some paladins patrolling the city, quiet and solemn.
The king breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, they didn't set it on fire. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head, just about to ask Benjamin how they were going to get in. Benjamin put him near Glorey and flew straight over himself.
"Who?"
Noticing a figure flying in the sky, the paladin guarding the door immediately showed an alert look and asked coldly.
Judging by their appearance, the priests who fled should not have returned. These paladins obediently guarded the city gates, but they did not even know that their large army had been wiped out.
Benjamin let out a cold snort, and instead of answering, he quickly approached the city.
"You...... You're that mage!" At that moment, the paladins also saw Benjamin's face clearly, and immediately showed a stunned expression, and in a panic, they didn't even know what to do.
Seeing this, Benjamin smiled at the paladins.
Dense blades of ice suddenly appeared above him, aiming at the head of the city of Caritus.
