Chapter 734: Controlling the Battle Situation, Yun Lan's Weakness?
Moreover, compared to those priests of the Frost Temple, almost every one of the priests of the Sword God Temple, including Purple Blade, has quite good melee ability! In a sense, almost all the priests of the Sword God Temple can be classified as the priest with a sword, although in fact, the Sword God Temple does not actually have such a professional division.
In the Frost Temple, in fact, there are no clergy who refine martial arts and divine arts at the same time, but after all, this kind of talent is rarely at the same time, and taking care of it at the same time often means that it is even more difficult to reach a higher realm level, so unless it is truly talented, otherwise, the strength of these priests with knives is generally not too strong.
After all, although they use magic skills, in fact, in general, basically the vast majority of priests are actually classified as spellcasters in the same way as magicians. Although the power systems of priests and magicians are actually completely different, at least one thing is the same, that is, whether it is a magician or a priest, generally speaking, melee ability is quite bad, once the enemy is forced to a certain distance, then their own situation will become very dangerous!
Because of this, in this battle, the priests of the Frost Temple did not dare to go too deep into the battle formation, and could only stand far away in the rear to safety, in this case, these priests, the support of the Frost Burning Legion was naturally quite limited. If it were any other time, this problem would definitely not be a problem, because this is a normal phenomenon, and in the normal course of war, priests are used in this way, at least no commander has ever taken these precious priests. Immerse yourself in the midst of a dangerous battle!
But now, Purple Blade, as well as these priests of the Sword God Temple, have broken this common sense. Including the Purple Blade, these priests of the Sword God Temple didn't seem to know the danger on the battlefield at all. From the beginning of the battle, with the soldiers of the Qinglan Legion, he directly entered the front line of the battle. The attainments of these priests of the Sword God Temple in terms of divine arts may indeed be inferior to those priests of the Frost God Temple, but the divine position of the high gods of Yunfeng and the power of faith that can still be squandered by them completely make up for this gap.
As for the danger on the battlefield. For these Sword God Temple priests, it may not be really dangerous, unless the other party dispatches a strong team in a targeted manner, otherwise, even if those warriors of the Frost Burning Legion are the elite of the elite, but in the end, at most, it is only the average strength of the tenth level. If let these priests of the Temple of the Sword God. Dealing with this army alone, there is naturally no suspense. It must have been lost, but the problem is that these priests of the Sword God Temple are not fighting alone now, fighting side by side with them, and the elite of the Qinglan Legion!
Although the number of people is almost twice as small as that of the other party. However, the average combat power of this Qinglan Legion under Yun Lan's command even surpassed that of the elite legion on the opposite side, which was famous throughout the Eri Continent! With the close divine support of these Sword God Temple priests, even if the strength was only half of the opponent's, it was under Yun Lan's personal command. This Qinglan Legion is now fighting with the Frost Burning Legion!
In this case, even if they knew the huge threat of these Sword God Temple priests, the soldiers of the Frost Burning Legion would not be able to directly encircle and annihilate them for a while, unless they were willing to let their formation fall into complete chaos and make the situation on the entire battlefield completely out of control, otherwise, the Frost Burning Legion, for these Sword God Temple priests who were extremely active on the battlefield, there was really no good way!
These priests of the Sword God Temple, their personal swordsmanship and martial arts, are really too strong! Obviously, they are just a group of priests who mainly use divine arts, but their swordsmanship and martial arts, even compared to swordsmen of the same level, are definitely not much better! Moreover, the swordsmanship and martial arts that these Sword God Temple priests are using now are obviously different from the swordsmanship system they know, but their power is extremely huge. So far in the battle, these priests of the Sword God Temple are definitely the most active and conspicuous beings on the entire battlefield. Not only can they use divine magic to support them in a timely manner at close range, but their own combat power is also extremely terrifying, at least for ordinary Frost Burning Legionnaires, a dozen people, or even dozens of people besieging together, it is often difficult to pose too much threat to these Sword God Temple priests. With the blessing of divine arts, the combat effectiveness of these priests of the Sword God Temple is really amazing, and the soldiers of the Frost Burning Legion seem to have no way to take them at all!
There is really no way, the priests of the Sword God Temple, before becoming clergy, most of them were originally swordsmen, and their skills were basically not too weak. What's more, after becoming the priest of the Sword God Temple, in addition to learning divine arts, sword skills have also not been put down, or in other words, the priests of the Sword God Temple have different requirements from the pastors of other churches, in addition to divine skills, sword skills are also a hard requirement!
Moreover, in the Sword God Temple, whether it is a priest, a Templar, or a holy warrior, the swordsmanship practiced is all another system that is completely different from this world! If it is an opponent who is not familiar with this sword system, when fighting with them for the first time, it will often be very uncomfortable, even if the realm strength is originally almost the same, in this case, it will be easy to fall behind. The current Frost Burning Legion, when facing these Sword God Temple Priests, is in this situation.
In today's Eri Continent, the only ones who can really adapt to this new sword system are those who have participated in the Tower of Trials. However, after all, it has only been long since the Tower of Trials was officially opened, and even if there are many people participating in each time, it is still too short after all, so the number of trialists who can really adapt to this sword system is actually quite limited.
And more importantly, at least so far, in the entire Ari Continent, for the time being, there is only one Tower of Trials in the Deep Water Port, and due to different beliefs, it is almost impossible for the clergy of other churches to take the initiative to participate. The Tower of Trials of the Temple of the Sword God. Especially the Frost Temple, from the very beginning, the relationship with the Sword God Temple was very tense, even if they were willing to come, the Sword God Temple was absolutely impossible. Allow them to enter the Tower of Trials!
The commander of the Frost Burn Legion has obviously seen the problem as well. But even if he saw it, for a while, he couldn't think of a better way to deal with it. In fact, this war has been going on until now, and Yun Lan on the other side has hardly played any tricks, and from beginning to end, it has been a very routine command operation. But what made the commander have to admit it was. Yun Lan's prestige more than a hundred years ago is indeed not in vain, but truly worthy of the name!
Although from beginning to end, Yun Lan did not have any amazing moves, nor did he have any thoughts of speculation, but the other party's control of the army under his command, the grasp of the battlefield shape, and the control of the timing and rhythm. There is no doubt about this Yun Lan. Indeed, he is a very, very powerful genius commander! If both sides have the same strength, I am afraid that he is really not the opponent of the other side! As the battle progressed, the commander of the Frost Burning Legion could not suppress such a thought in his heart.
However, even if the strength of the other side is more than twice that of the other side, the overall situation on the battlefield. But it is still inevitable that it will slide in a direction that is becoming more and more unfavorable to itself! And among them, the role played by those priests of the Sword God Temple is absolutely crucial!
Before that. The commander of the Frost Burning Legion never imagined that on the battlefield, the priest would be able to play such a huge role! Not only can they use magic to increase the combat power protection of their own army, but they can even play the role of a mainstay at critical moments and key nodes! Especially now, although the number of priests of these Sword God Temple is not very large, the total number of priests is only more than a hundred, such a number of priests, if they are used intensively in the rear, can indeed increase the combat power of their own army, but this increase is still limited after all, just like those priests of the Frost Temple are doing now. But like these priests of the Sword God Temple, taking a huge risk and going deep into the front line of the battlefield in person, the impact on the entire battle is definitely even greater and more obvious!
The battle has been going on so far, and the expressions of the priests on both sides have actually been very clear. If it weren't for the unexpected performance of these Sword God Temple priests, in this battle, even with Yun Lan's personal command, it would be difficult for the Qinglan Legion to be like now, with inferior forces, but gradually began to gain the upper hand!
But the Frostburn Legion didn't have any way! Ordinary soldiers had no way to deal with these priests with knives in the Sword God Temple, even if the soldiers of the Frostburn Legion were all elites, and if they couldn't do it, they couldn't do it. Normally, only priests can deal with priests, but these priests of the Frost Temple obviously cannot be the opponent of these priests of the Sword God Temple. Originally, the mage was also a good choice, as long as there were a sufficient number of mage groups, on the battlefield, the destructive power that could burst out was definitely very terrifying. It's a pity that due to the huge influence of the Frost Temple, there has never been an established mage group among the Frost Burning Legion.
And now the priest of the Frost God Temple, in the confrontation with the priest of the Sword God Temple, has completely fallen behind, and the situation of the Frost Burning Legion has immediately become quite disadvantaged. In fact, the commander of the Frost Burning Legion did not think about concentrating a part of the strong in the army and directly adopting decapitation tactics against those priests of the Sword God Temple. But Yun Lan on the other side is also not a vegetarian! How could this kind of careful thinking be hidden from this invincible commander who has been in battle for a long time?
The biggest opponent of the Frost Burning Legion, from the very beginning, was not the priest of these Sword God Temples, but the 50,000 Qinglan Legion under the command of Yun Lan! The members of the Qinglan Legion, although they were all born in the sub-plane of the Qingyun Plane, were indeed inherently inferior to the soldiers of the Frost Burning Legion, but after all, they were the essence of the entire Qingyun Plane, and their perennial fighting career made this Qinglan Legion really reach its peak, even in the face of a top powerhouse like the Frost Burning Legion, they can still not fall behind!
Relying on the special environment of the Frost Volcano, the weapons and equipment of the Frost Burning Legion are definitely extremely sophisticated among the armies of the entire Dark Sun Empire, but compared to the Qinglan Legion under Yun Lan, it is inevitably a little dwarfed. What the Frost Burning Legion can rely on is nothing more than a Frost Volcano, but behind the Qinglan Legion, it is not just the sub-plane of the Qingyun Plane! It also contains extremely rich rare mineral deposits, coupled with the human resources of most of the sub-planes of the Qingyun Plane, the combination of these factors makes the equipment level of the Qinglan Legion even higher than that of the Frost Burning Legion!
The individual is not inferior to others. The level of equipment is even better than that of the other party, and the reason why Yun Lan dares to take the initiative to attack the Frost Volcano, which is more than twice as strong as herself, is indeed her own confidence! Yun Lan basically didn't play any tricks in this battle, but at this time, the commander of the Frost Burning Legion was already thinking about whether he was going to take a surprise risk.
He is not unaware of the risks of doing so, one carelessly. It may turn the tide of the battle for the worse, but at this time, the commander of the Frost Burning Legion actually has no other better choice. If she continues to fight head-on so without fancy, with Yun Lan's command ability, if she wants to turn the tables in her hands, the difficulty is definitely even greater than imagined!
Chronic suicide. The Frost Legion is certainly impossible to accept, if that is the case. Then it had to take risks, fortunately, the battle has been going on so far, and the Frost Burning Legion has taken advantage of the situation, but the high-level combat power of the legion has not been greatly affected, which has given this commander. More leeway.
Truth be told, the fighting has been going on at this point now, unless more reinforcements can be obtained, otherwise it is necessary to salvage the situation. It's basically unrealistic, but for the current Frost Burning Legion, expecting reinforcements is obviously unrealistic. Not to mention that the current Frost Burning Legion has long since become a de facto warlord group, as long as it is not a real foreign invasion, otherwise, it is basically impossible to get the support of other armies in the country.
Now this Qinglan Legion is indeed not the army of the Dark Sun Empire, but since the other party can appear in the hinterland of the empire without hindrance along the way, it has actually clearly shown that this army is definitely not the enemy of the empire, at least the other party's action this time is obviously supported by the imperial family. The support of other armies could not be counted on, and the other army, which also belonged to the Frostburn Legion, was still far away in the Revenant Fortress at the moment. Not to mention that this army suffered heavy losses in the previous battle against Yun Feng, just the distance between the Revenant Fortress and the Frost Volcano was already doomed, and in the short term, this army could not be counted on at all. After all, among the Frost Burning Legion, there is no large-scale teleportation divine array like Yun Lan, who can teleport tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop in a short period of time!
Reinforcements can't be counted on, so if they want to keep the old nest of Frost Volcano, they can only rely on themselves! In the frontal battlefield, relying on these generals alone, if they want to move back to the situation, the difficulty is indeed not ordinary, but the high-level combat power of the legion still has the ability to turn the tide of the battle!
Although it is said to be a surprise and a risk, this commander's method, in fact, is not surprising, it is just to concentrate a certain number of strong men and carry out the decapitation tactic against Yun Lan himself! In fact, with the current battlefield situation, even if he wants to make a trick, there is not much room for manoeuvre. With Yun Lan's ability, even if she herself adopts an upright combat method, if the opponent wants to take risks, it is also impossible to have too many opportunities!
However, in the eyes of the commander of the Frost Burning Legion, he was still sure of success. Although this Your Excellency Yun Lan has already become famous a hundred years ago, what she is most famous for has always been her genius-like commanding ability, as for the other party's own strength, it has always been mediocre and does not have much to praise. Because of this, this commander thinks that Yun Lan's personal strength should be a weakness that can be targeted.
And now although the Qinglan Legion is gradually gaining the upper hand, they are still at a disadvantage in terms of strength, after all, and although the Frost Burning Legion is temporarily at a disadvantage, it is not so easy to defeat them. Therefore, the current Qinglan Legion may not be able to draw many troops at all to specifically protect Yun Lan, the commander. And this gives them an opportunity to take advantage of!
In fact, this commander of the Frost Burning Legion, his judgment was indeed correct. This battle can be fought like this, even Yun Lan has almost taken out his full strength, after all, the Frost Burning Legion is not an ordinary opponent, and it is impossible for Yun Lan to have any reservations now if he can suppress such a strong army with inferior forces. So now by Yun Lan's side, there is indeed not much defense power.
But if you think that you can easily deal with Yun Lan because of this, it is really too naïve! Indeed, in the Qinglong Yun family, Yun Lan's personal strength is indeed not the most outstanding, and her greatest ability has always been in the battle of commanding troops. But this is not to say that Yun Lan's personal strength is really weak. The so-called is not outstanding, that is also because, the object of comparison is different, if compared with those personal disciples of Yun Feng, Yun Lan's strength is indeed not enough, but in fact, Yun Lan, who is at the peak of the Holy Domain, even if he looks at the entire Eri Continent, can definitely be regarded as a top powerhouse!
