Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Holy Book I

Simple fortifications had been erected at the temple gates, and all the Templars stood behind them, shielding and protecting the priests behind them with shields and bodies. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Richard saw it, nodded slightly, and said, "Actually gave up the war horse, their commander is either a very powerful person or a fool." ”

"I'd rather face a smart person. Reilly said with a smile.

"Why?"

"Smart people have a good idea, but it's not necessarily what a fool will do. Reilly glanced at St. Louis Cathedral not far away and said, "I don't like wars with too many variables." ”

"I don't like it either. Richard raised his hand, and the knights of Akmund immediately raised their spears.

"Ready...... Offensive. ”

As Richard's hand fell, a group of Darkblade Knights received the order and rushed towards the temple, a wave of powerful crossbow arrows attacked, and immediately shot down several Darkblade Knights at the front, and the following Darkblade Knights stepped on the corpses of their companions, struggling to cross the fortifications and fight with the Templar Knights.

(Threesomes, set fire!)

At the same time, Reilly also gave the order to attack.

The Templar Knights are well-equipped and well-trained, and their combat effectiveness is no weaker than Richard's Dark-Bladed Knights, and their bodies are constantly lit up with the glow of holy white, which is a sign of divine blessings, this is the Cathedral of St. Louis, the Templars originally had a home advantage, and a large number of priests and priests blessed them with divine skills in the back, treating injuries, so that the combat effectiveness of these Templars was greatly improved, and it was inseparable from the Dark-Blade Knights.

Bishop Richelieu and Martin stood on the steps of the doorway, looking down at the battlefield below. At this moment, there were only two guards left by their side, and the others were sent to the front line of the battle.

The bishop cast the magic as he said, "This is the place of martyrdom of the saints, and our knights should have a clear advantage, if their numbers are not so small......"

Richard dispatched a thousand Knights of the Darkblade, compared to only three hundred Templars, a disparity of a few hundred.

Martin shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, you see the cooperation between Richard's knights." ”

The Darkblade Knights cooperated very well, they often surrounded and killed a Templar with four or five people, the attack parts were different, and a single attack could severely damage the Templar Knight, if it weren't for the large number of priests behind who continued to heal them with divine magic, the Templar Knights would have suffered heavy casualties.

The bishop is still casting magic constantly, where is there time to observe the cooperation between the Darkblade Knights, the battle has not started for long, the speed of the Templar Knight's injury has increased significantly, the Darkblade Knight's attacks are also more targeted, the battle situation is deteriorating sharply, the bishop is shocked and angry, desperately casting the magic, and he can't even speak.

Martin was also slightly stunned, and muttered to himself: "No, this is impossible, even if the incarnation of the god of war comes, it is impossible to train the army to this extent." ”

At this moment, several Templars fell sharply, each with several arrows stuck in their bodies, apparently killed by the fire of several archers.

It turned out that Reilly found that shooting in groups of three could not kill the Templars with multiple divine blessings in an instant, so he divided the shooters into groups of five to increase the output.

The treatment of the priests gradually failed to keep up with the output of the coalition forces, and the casualties of the Templars increased. By the time the battle had progressed, Richard's Darkblade Knights had died more than thirty, and the fallen Templars were less than twenty, but Rayleigh knew that this was only a superficial phenomenon, and if the Church's priests continued to pour out their magic, they would soon run out of all their mana, and by that time, the Templars would be immediately defeated. In fact, there are many young priests who have finished performing high-level divine arts, but they are still desperately squeezing their physical strength and mana, casting the slightest healing technique.

On the other side, Richard was scanning the entire battlefield, and his gaze quickly stayed on Martin.

When he saw Martin, Richard was stunned for a moment, always feeling as if he had seen this handsome young man somewhere, but Martin's physiognomy was very obvious, and his sunny smile was the biggest feature, if he had seen him before, Richard would not have forgotten it.

Richard sensed that something wasn't right, so he picked up his talent for insight and looked over to Martin. However, what caught his eyes was an incomparably strong burst of holy light, which pierced Richard's eyes for a while, and Richard was shocked, the talent of insight can only fail when facing a very small number of truly strong people, or people with powerful special abilities.

Richard immediately pointed at Martin and shouted, "Watch out for that guy." ”

At the gate of the temple, Martin was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said to Bishop Richelieu: "It seems that my identity may have been discovered by him, in that case, let me see how much he is prepared to pay for taking this temple." ”

The bishop was also stunned, the battle was about to collapse, and he was ready to be martyred, but listening to Martin's meaning, it seemed that there was a way to turn defeat into victory.

Martin opened the canon, flipped to one of the pages, and read softly: "...... The Imoyans were suffering from disease and hunger, and they had to fight against the heretical crescent clans, and they prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered and promised them a divine gift, and the prophets of Imoa asked for an army, and they thought it more important to destroy the heresy, so the Lord gave them knightly ......"

Martin's voice echoed in the temple, soft and pleasant, he read a passage from the Glorious Church Scriptures, not only the clergy knew, but many devout believers could recite them, and even Richard knew that for this operation, he had specially studied many of the Glorious Church texts, and the Sacred Scriptures were naturally the most important.

But what is the use of reading the holy scriptures at such times?
