157 Desperate for life
Standing on top of the city wall, Kasmai naturally noticed Ore's movements, he had been hesitant to use magic to help Duke, but after considering the consequences, he still held back and didn't do anything.
But now it's different, once Ole's magic is complete, then the Stormtroopers will be dealt a serious blow. Kasmai knew that the Storm Armor had some magical defense, and the dwarves were born with strong magic resistance, but now the two sides were in an evenly matched and anxious posture, and once either side joined the assistant, what awaited the opponent would be a complete collapse.
So Kasmai had no choice, even if he was to reveal his identity as a dark archmage, he had to stop Ole's light magic. Because once the first regiment of the Storm Army and the Storm Knight outside the city walls are wiped out, relying on the second regiment and logistics regiment of the Storm Army alone is not the opponent of the Light Army at all!
"The fire spirits dancing in the void summon you in my name, let your power be displayed in the world, and shatter all obstacles!"
Finally facing a powerful magical opponent like Ole, Kasmai used a rare magic spell.
I saw that the sky of Storm Castle began to appear with a faint shade of red, and then I saw that the clouds in the sky seemed to be burning, and the sky at noon was like a fiery cloud like a sunset.
The majestic flame element continued to gather, this kind of scene naturally attracted Ole's attention, he had guessed that there might be a dark mage in Storm Castle, but he didn't expect that the dark mage would be so powerful, in terms of this kind of magic power, at least it was a level that only high-level mages have.
You must know that even Ole himself is only at the level of a high-level magician, and in the entire Fran Empire, the Holy See has only deployed three archmages. Storm Castle already has high-level mages, which is definitely not normal. At the same time, there was also a trace of excitement in Ole's heart, if he could arrest this dark high-level magician, it would definitely be a great achievement, a high-level magician in this world was worth much more than ordinary witches, or even lords like Duke!
At that time, not only will you not have to worry about the punishment for disobeying orders, but you will also be rewarded by the Holy See, even if it is for this high-level magician, Storm Castle will be destroyed!
Compared to Kasmai, who only has two low-level magicians to help, Oretha has more than ten middle-level magicians in his priesthood. This is also one of the powerful places of the Holy See, and the mage resources on the entire continent are basically under the control of the Holy See.
At this time, the priest group began to chant the hymn collectively, which is also one of the unique magic of the Cult of Light, which can be combined by magic, so that all the priests of light can cast spells at the same time, without worrying about rejection and repulsion, so as to achieve the effect that one plus one is greater than two. In addition to the elves on the continent, only the Holy See can achieve the pure same magical element.
As the light element brought about by the chant gradually accumulated, a sneer appeared on Ore's face. Even if the other party is a high-level magician, he has no chance of winning in front of light magic. Once the chant is finished, the magic power of all the Light Priests of the Priesthood will be far beyond that of ordinary high-level magicians, which is also one of the magic weapons of the Holy See's victory, relying on the power of integration!
Kasmai naturally knew this, and the expression on his face began to become more and more ugly, as far as the current situation was concerned, even the limit of a high-level mage could not resist the light magic of the priesthood, unless he exposed the strength of the great mage, he could suppress the light magic.
Now that things have come to this point, there is not much point in hiding it any longer, unless a miracle happens, Storm Castle will inevitably face a devastating blow from the Holy See, at least before the Storm Army became a historical term, it also had a glorious record!
Just as Cassmai made up his mind to make this battle the last splendor of Stormcastle, a few dull roars appeared in the sky, and then a few small black dots quickly approached Stormcastle.
This sudden cry naturally attracted everyone's attention, and when the black dot got closer and closer, the people on the ground finally saw clearly what was flying in the sky.
There were several white horses with white wings in the sky, and they were rushing towards the storm battlefield, led by an old man in a red robe.
"Holy See Pegasus!"
"Cardinal!"
An exclamation began to ring, because everyone knew that flying in the sky was the Holy See's iconic Pegasus. Legend has it that this is the crystallization of the Holy See's Light Divine Beast and ordinary horses, so that ordinary horses also have the ability to fly, so they are called Pegasus.
Among the clergy of the Holy See, the only one who can have the right to wear red robes is to reach the position of cardinal, so many times cardinals are also called cardinals. Now that the Holy See Pegasus and Cardinals have appeared, adding a touch of fog to the tense situation in Stormcastle, what are they trying to do?
Seeing the cardinal appear, both Ole and Carsmai stopped what they were doing. Because this cardinal both of them knew each other, that is, the highest clergy of the French Curia, Cardinal Leonard, who actually rushed over from the French Empire, which was unexpected by everyone.
"Stop!" A majestic voice came from the sky, and thanks to the use of the effect of magic transmission, everyone could hear it clearly, it was like thunder.
Faced with the cardinal's orders, the Teutonic knights first stopped the attack, quickly gathered the wounded and retreated. Seeing that the Teutonic knights had retreated, all the storm troops looked at Duke's body, because the lord had not yet given the order, and they did not know whether to retreat or pursue!
Seeing that the papal knights had retreated, Duke naturally understood what it meant to accept it when he saw it, and he dared to take the initiative to attack at this time, which was to find his own death. So he also immediately ordered all the members of the Storm Army to retreat back to the city gate, and if the situation was not right, they would enter the city as soon as possible.
In this case, the happiest is Ultra, because the second charge of the Storm Army is about to begin, and the destruction of the entire Alpine Knights is in the blink of an eye. The sudden truce can be said to have saved the entire Alpine Knights, which is the backbone of Alpine Castle.
But even so, the two thousand Alpine Knights also paid six or seven hundred casualties, and judging from the medical standards of this era, it is not bad to have a hundred casualties among the casualties, and it can be said that the entire Alpine Knights have been hit hard.
The Storm Knights' casualties weren't much better, and a single charge down, causing more than two hundred casualties out of five hundred. According to the proportion of the number of people, almost half of them have been lost, which can be described as heavy casualties!
