Chapter 484: Phantom Divine Bow (2)
It was as if all the light had been combined into one point, and it was as if all the light was born from that point, and every time that point stood out behind the dense foliage waves of the jungle or behind the heavy bushes, it stirred up a splash of blood in the crowd in a posture that could not be described with speed at all, and there were few screams before death, and all those who were taken away by that light were almost instantly killed, more helpless cries of the cavalry and the terrified neighing of the horses, and they didn't even know where the enemy was, and they had already paid the price of more than thirty livesใ
"Dismount! Form a defensive formation! You stupid pigs! If you don't want to die, don't shout!"
After the loss of the captain and vice-captain, the cavalry fell into a brief period of confusion, but fortunately, there were veterans who had participated in the battle against the elves, and they still had some experience with cold arrows that did not know where to shoot from the forest, because the trip was a bit rushed, so they did not carry heavy shields, and hiding behind the belly of the horse was obviously a good solution.
Although the war horse is the second life for the knight, hiding under the horse's belly also means giving up the ability to maneuver and counterattack, but the dense jungle and the lack of sight made them have no chance to charge, and no matter how precious the second life is, it is not as important as the first life.
Under the shouts of a few veterans, the remaining more than 100 cavalry finally calmed down, and took advantage of the fact that there were no arrows flashing in the dense forest for the time being, and they drove their war horses tightly into a group, with the horses outside inside, and the only light iron oak shield surrounded Raymond and the others in the middle.
No one dared to imagine whether the reason why the other party suddenly stopped attacking was because the arrow cluster ran out, just as no one dared to imagine that someone would dare to ambush the cavalry brigade including nearly a hundred battle priests with the strength of one person, as long as they had a little discernment, they would not do such a stupid thing, so in the hearts of several veterans, the reason why there was a gap in the attack was because the enemy was brewing the next larger-scale attack.
"Elder Raymond, you have also seen the current situation, the enemy is very strong, and if the battle is heated up, I hope you and your people will not hesitate to take action. โ
After a short period of deliberation, a veteran named Inclave was elected temporary captain, and the first thing he did after taking office was to walk up to Raymond and say so.
In other words, Raymond would not look at this kind of person with a straight eye, but the timing was different, and after seeing the other party's momentum just now, he actually had some appreciation in his heart, so he immediately agreed.
In fact, even if Incre didn't ask for it, he would have to take action, and if he was asked to kill all these cavalrymen and then fight them in close combat, he and the priests under his command would probably not be able to escape their fate in the end.
Theoretically speaking, Incre's tactical arrangement is definitely decent, giving up useless mobility to form an absolute defense, giving the priest sufficient protection, and then using the power of the priest and the light crossbow to find an opportunity to counterattack, the enemy hiding in the shadows does not show up, and once it appears again, the cavalry temporarily separated from the panic can find the traces of the other party.
However, this is only theoretical.
As soon as the cavalry team completed the assembly of the ring defense, the vanished arrow light reappeared in the jungle, this time it was the sharp-eyed warriors and priests with full mental power who found the traces, but their warning shouts had only just reached the throat through the resonance of the lung lobes and chest cavity, and before the tongue and teeth collided with a clear syllable and rushed out of the mouth, the light broke through the barrier of space with unparalleled power and a roar that even the air trembled.
It was so fast, so fast that Increy only had time to feel the afterglow of the corner of his right eye being slightly disturbed, and a huge snowflake exploded on the two warhorses blocking his left, and then a cool feeling came from his left side, and before the great pain that should have followed could form a clear signal in his brain, his whole body was engulfed by an irresistible darkness.
"There it is!"
Raymond's blood-red eyes widened, and he didn't care about the corpse of Incle, which slowly fell a few steps away, and smashed into the place where the arrow flashed in the dense forest, and the rest of the priests under his guidance immediately ripped open the magic scroll that had been prepared, and for a while, lightning and thunder roared, fireballs flew, and the horizon from the forest to the clearing was instantly filled with violent magic elements, not to mention shooting, as long as a normal person thought of how to escape for his life.
Boom Boom!
The flash of magic scorched the dense forest in an instant, the rough lightning writhed in the air like a snake's cobweb, the frost completely froze the space with a radius of tens of meters, and the ensuing fire burned the frost and the trees there into ashes, and the flames scattered after the explosion even ignited the shrubs farther away, which caused the dense forest within a radius of hundreds of meters to burn violently.
As long as there were any living creatures in that dense forest, as long as they did not flee the area before the magic came, then the pain of suffocation would delay their reactions in their eyes, and then the overwhelming destruction magic would completely consume them.
"Killed?"
Dylan, who was beside Raymond, muttered to himself in horror, he had been apprehensive about the dozens of cold arrows that killed the cavalry until now, and he was even extremely glad that the enemy had chosen not to be them, otherwise he really didn't have the confidence to stand here now.
The answer is no.
As soon as Dylan's words fell, the terrifying deadly arrow light appeared in the jungle again, and the location where the arrow flashed was less than ten meters to the right in the area covered by the flames, which also meant that their counterattack just now did not cause any damage to the opponent, at least not enough damage to make the opponent incapacitated.
And this time it seems to be in response to Dylan's crow's beak, the target of the arrows flashing is the crowd of priests who are surrounded by the cavalry in the middle, and what is even more terrifying is that this time it is no longer a single sniper, the four cold rays are fleeting at the end of the dense forest, and on the priest's side, Raymond and Dylan and the other two priests who showed the fastest reaction in the counterattack just now felt the threat of death at the same time.
Feeling that one of the four chills was coming at him, Raymond was covered in sweat and hair stood on end, and he did not hope that the soft belly of the horses and the terrified cavalry in front of him would be able to shield him from the persecution of death, and the end of Incre had perfectly confirmed this.
Fortunately, after all, he was one of the most top-notch elders in the Blind Brotherhood in terms of seniority and strength, and he had already realized the fact that he was locked at the first time that cold light appeared, and while flying back, several earth walls and ice walls more than one meter thick that could even be blocked by siege heavy crossbows continued to rise in front of him, and he didn't care how terrifying the mana consumption would be caused by such a spell, he was only afraid that he was not fast enough, and the wall of ice and earth was not thick enough, and in the end he would end up with the same fate as Du Lin and the others.
Although Dylan is the leader of the chaplain who went to Eri with Adela, his magic cultivation is still not as good as Raymond's, and he can't condense so many shields in a short period of time, but fortunately, he is not stupid, and he bent down and jumped behind Raymond, while using all his magic power to pour all his magic power into the magic walls that Raymond summoned to reinforce them, the strength of the two of them is better than his own hope.
Raymond saw this, his eyes were about to crack, and he almost wanted to scold, he didn't know what Dylan's idea was, and it was true that the defense of the two of them would be stronger, but that also meant that the cold of shooting Dylan would also be borne by him, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have time to care about it now, he really wanted to kill Dylan with a bolt of lightning.
The other two priests didn't have this treatment because they were too far away, but they seemed to have found some kind of tacit understanding when they saw Raymond and Dylan's state, and the two of them tried their best to retreat as much as possible while also summoning various positions and magic barriers in front of them, but due to the limitation of the magic level, the defense on their side seemed to be much weaker than Raymond's.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the four cold rays didn't care about the status of the person they were about to shoot, and almost instantly, the first two barriers summoned by both sides were shattered at the same time.
