168. The duel begins

If there is any professional person who has the most occupation in human society, it must be the priesthood.

If you want to be a mage, you must have a way and money, and it is even more difficult to be an assassin, this kind of shady profession is not recommended by the insiders of an assassin organization, and you can't even find the door, so if you look at it, that is, priests and paladins are the most.

In the human army, the Clergy is definitely the backbone, and a little priest's Holy Light Shield spell can block at least a small flintlock pistol.

And they also have buffs like King's Blessing, which can increase the strength of allies, and can also dispel fatigue and heal.

It can be said that without them, human beings would not be able to gain a foothold in the surrounding of various intelligent races with innate advantages, let alone claim hegemony.

As long as a hundred-person squad has ten low-level priests, the combat effectiveness is enough to multiply several times, if a team is composed of all priests, it doesn't need to be more, as long as there are twenty people, and ordinary soldiers of hundreds of people are not their opponents.

Zhang Li is now facing twenty golden paladins, no, not twenty, in fact, eighteen, there are two mages behind their queue, one of them Zhang Li still knows, it is the intermediate mage Mason who was almost killed by Rubos in the first game on the first day, and there is a face standing next to him who is a little younger than him, Zhang Li knows that he is also an intermediate mage.

Duke Solomon raised two intermediate mages, and this alone shows that he is much stronger than Duke Eberlock, who raised Hogan, an intermediate mage, and he is not here now.

Zhang Li's side of them except for him and Althea, who didn't listen to any persuasion and had to play, the remaining eight were also paladins, but the equipment was far from others, except for Kevin, who wore a high-grade armor made of light cast iron, the armor on the other paladins was at least inlaid with light cast iron, and then look at Zhang Li and their side, they were still wearing ordinary heavy armor that was taken off from the heavy cavalry of the parliamentarian army not long ago.

Light-cast armor is not pretty, and while it is indeed beautiful to look at, the most important thing is that it can enhance the strength of the priesthood.

Give a paladin wearing light cast iron armor a shield, the defense of the holy light shield will be increased by a few points, and the rest of the holy light spells will also have a stronger effect on him, such as the king's blessing, power blessing, and the paladin wearing light cast armor will also be more powerful when using holy light spells.

Moreover, the light cast iron is very light, and the defense is not worse than steel at all, and it is not weak in magic resistance, and ordinary curses and shadow spells are ineffective even against this high-grade armor.

Look at them, and then look at Zhang Li's side, it's really a miserable horse.

After talking about the armor, let's talk about the weapons, Solomon's side is full of standard tower shields and hand half swords, forming a shield array is definitely very powerful, they are numerous, as long as the defense is good, and then gradually advance, so that it is easy to win steadily.

Eberlock's side is different, and the weapons and shields on their side can be described as very strange.

Let's talk about weapons first, on the far left is the largest knight, Zhang Li knows that his name is Harvison, a member of the night watchman, he has been serving as the captain of the factory security team for half a year, he looks at least 1.9 meters, half a head taller than Zhang Li, and his arms are thicker than ordinary people's thighs, and his strength is not questioned at all.

It's such a big guy, and the weapon he is holding is of course unusual, it is a huge two-handed hammer, but the hammer head is not a boxy piece of iron, it looks like a streamlined missile, this weapon is not light at first glance, if there is no strength of the person can not wield it at all.

In comparison, the remaining seven were much more normal, but they didn't hold swords, but spears made of all-metal.

In addition to these weapons, each of them carried a round shield with a jagged border, as large as the shield of the three hundred Spartan warriors, and looked like a large cog from a distance.

This strange shield has baffled many people, is there any difference between this strange shield and ordinary shields? Why does it have to be made like this?

They'll find out soon.

"Rubles, you go and attack, mainly the two mages, and be careful not to put yourself in danger. ”

"Whoa!"

"Knights, form a shield formation, slowly advance towards them, everyone knows what today's competition means, so don't show mercy!"

"Obey the order, sir!"

"Althea, you can just make soy sauce. ”

"What is soy sauce?"

"Uh...... It's about protecting yourself. Then Zhang Li stopped talking nonsense and gradually disappeared from his figure.

"The competition begins!"

With the shout of the goblin host's-neck voice, the two sides immediately entered a state of readiness.

As soon as the scene began, Mage Mason released a large ball of light to prevent Zhang Li's sneak attack, and then he and another mid-level mage began to bombard Zhang Lifang's knight camp.

Because of the lesson learned from the first game, Knight Kyle did not dare to underestimate Rubos, he did not order the attack at all, and all his manpower was used to protect his own mage, so the eighteen men were divided into two layers and formed a semicircle, so that the two mages were wrapped.

He is not in a hurry to fight, anyway, there are many of them, even if they drag, they can win, as long as they protect their two magic turrets, maybe before Zhang Li and Rubos can make any moves, the shield array on the opposite side will be scattered by spells.

Rubes rushed straight at the enemy's line, blind in one eye, but did not hinder its movements, but only made it more ferocious.

"Alert!" Under Kevin's order, all the paladins brushed up and took a defensive posture, and all the paladins on Rubos's side were vigilant.

And the two Mason mages under their protection began the spell bombardment.

First of all, there were two bursting fireballs, the basin-sized and extremely unstable fireballs flew towards the front of the Zhang Cube Knight, the fireball exploded directly after touching the Holy Light Shield, and the shield was torn apart in an instant, and the aftermath of the explosion also shocked the two paladins to stand unsteadily and leave the line, but they quickly made up for it.

After the Holy Light Shield is shattered, a layer of light fragments will be scattered around the person shrouded by the shield, just like the spell has not yet reacted to its own shattering, and it will be difficult to release the shield on him again if there is this light shattering, and this light fragment will dissipate by itself, and it may take about ten seconds.

Ten seconds is enough for the two mages to strike again, if those two are blown up by the explosive fireball again, even if there is a shield to block it, the arm will inevitably be broken, then there will be a gap in their long snake formation, even if the head and tail are together, the "long snake" will become smaller and smaller.

Zhang Li certainly didn't allow this to happen, and before the Masons could make a second round of attacks, a smoke bomb exploded directly in their camp.

Sight is blocked, and their spell casting is interrupted.

"Watch out for the assassins!"
