Chapter 59: The Tripartite War (Part II)
An earth-shattering cheer suddenly sounded in the distance, and a large number of flags appeared on the horizon. A group of knights rolled in, dressed in golden armor and fiery cloaks, forming a huge wave that swept across the land!
Those knights were surrounded by a glorious king, who was the spokesman of the god of war in the mortal world, the Baroque king Arnold.
For a time, the morale of the Norland Expeditionary Force was taken away.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Raymond pointed to the mysterious man and said, "All the masters do it together, he is holding an artifact!"
In the previous battle of magic, the Norland side had already had an overwhelming advantage. The Magisters of Faro have basically run out of mana and will no longer pose a threat to the Norlanders anytime soon. Hearing Raymond's order, the remaining six archmagers all set their sights on the mysterious man. The latter let out a scream and shrank behind his shield.
However, the glow of magic had already begun to appear on him. Mind Thorn, Soul Blast, Labyrinth of Will, Otherworldly Banishment, Confinement, and Enhanced Amber Coffin, six spells fell on the mysterious man one after another, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
(He can actually withstand the magic of the six great mages without falling, his own strength will definitely not reach this level, it should be the effect of the artifact)
Raymond came to a conclusion in an instant, he didn't look at the mysterious man who was rushing towards this side, but instead pointed at Arnold, and shouted: "The Knights of Formation are ahead, and the whole army is assaulting!"
The loud sound of the horn resounded across the battlefield, and the banner representing the commander behind Raymond leaned forward, pointing out the direction of the assault. Fifty knights in armor marched through the army on their horses.
At this moment, the Norland Expeditionary Force finally showed its true strength. The battle formation slowly closed and formed a tight formation, leaving a passage in the middle for the knights to attack. By the time they rushed out of the battle formation, the speed of the charge had reached its highest speed. The Constructed Knights of the Norland Expeditionary Force are like a black giant sword, stabbing into the oncoming golden tide!
The golden wave was split into two halves, and one by one the golden-armored knights were lifted into the sky with men and horses. The black greatsword passed through the golden wave, piercing the Baroque knight's defense in the blink of an eye. King Arnold flew helplessly into the air, where he was grabbed by the ghost dragon.
The mysterious man didn't care about the king's life or death, and just buried his head in Raymond. He discovers that this young man, who seems to have little strength, is the leader of the invaders. Then, as long as Raymond is killed, it will be the heaviest blow to the invaders.
However, a plain-looking gray-clothed old man suddenly appeared in front of the mysterious man and blocked his way. The old man said lightly: "The artifact is okay, the little guy is a little tender." ”
The mysterious man looked at the old man and said, "You don't seem to be much stronger than me, and you don't even have a decent artifact." The old man carried a long sword in his hand, and it looked as if it had not been cleaned.
The old man in gray smiled and said, "It's enough to deal with you." And I'm not alone. ”
Before the words fell, the old man's sword was pointed in front of the mysterious man, and the speed was incredibly fast! The mysterious man was taken aback, and desperately waved the shield of the god of war in his hand. He instinctively sensed the danger, so he directly activated the special ability attached to the shield.
The sword and shield intersected, and there was a soft sound, but the power transmitted was surprisingly small. The mysterious man's pupils shrank, and the shield of the god of war moved sideways like lightning, blocking the sudden sword.
And at this time, the mysterious man's body continued to appear with magical light, and at least four archmages were attacking him. Worst of all, the opponent did not use attack magic, but constantly inflicted a well-coordinated negative status on him. These spells stack on top of each other, and they can't be countered by fighting energy and shields. Although the mysterious man has strong magic resistance, the magic thrown by the Norland archmages is also attached to super magic effects such as spell penetration.
The mysterious man's strength and speed were obviously weakened, and as soon as his right hand hurt, the axe of the god of war actually came out of his hand, spun and flew into the sky! The sword of the gray-clothed old man slowly retracted, and there was already an extra blood hole on the mysterious man's right arm.
The mysterious man let out a scream and threw the Aegis of War in his left hand. With a sharp whistling, the whirling shield of the god of war slashed across the gray-clothed old man. His face changed drastically, and he flashed dozens of meters in an instant, avoiding the shield. But he immediately realized that it was not good, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that a great mage not far away had been broken by the talisman spell and broken in two.
Without saying a word, the old man in gray instantly rushed to the mysterious man's side and launched a stormy onslaught!
The mysterious man let out a cry of pain, and the helmet and visor flew into the sky, revealing a handsome face that was indistinguishable from male and female. In the blink of an eye, he fled into the distance, and the old man in gray couldn't catch up. He snorted, did not dare to leave the battlefield, and returned to Raymond's side.
At this time, Raymond was constantly issuing orders to condense the Norland Expeditionary Force into a whole. Looking down from a high vantage point, it looked like a jagged roulette wheel that was slowly spinning, crushing the Faro warriors.
In this battle, the Constructed Knights exerted great power. No matter how neatly formed they were, they were all fragile in front of them, and they were chiseled through with a single shot. Even the most elite troops were broken up after being gouged twice.
On the other hand, with the death of Arnold and the escape of the mysterious man, the Faro powerhouses were completely suppressed and died in battle.
The battle lasted from noon to dusk and ended in a complete rout of the Faroe coalition forces. Of the 120,000 troops, less than 30,000 fled back.
In this battle, a total of thirteen Zhenguo powerhouses and three archmages above the eighteenth level were killed in the battle, and the church's clergy also suffered heavy casualties. More than 100 people were killed in the battle between the Sanctuary and the Magister of Faro, and most of the noble leaders who participated in the battle were killed or wounded. The spokesman of the god of war in the mortal world, the Baroque king Arnold, was killed in battle, and the senior priests of the church were also killed or wounded. After this battle, the church of Ludris, the god of war, was greatly damaged, and it did not take more than ten years to recover.
The Norland Expeditionary Force also suffered heavy casualties. Joseph's coalition forces have invested a total of 30,000 troops on the Faro plane, including fifty Constructed Knights, twelve Sanctuary powerhouses, and eight Grand Magisters. After defeating the Faroese coalition army, only 16,000 of the 30,000 troops remained, and the assembled knights were killed in 11 battles, 19 were seriously wounded, and less than 20 were still combat-ready.
Only three Sanctuaries and three Grand Magisters survived, and all of them were wounded. What made them even more resentful was that the corpses of all their companions had been snatched away by the ghost dragon! Most of the strong people who were able to cultivate to the Holy Realm had the courage to face death, but they never wanted to fall into the hands of the necromancer after death.
After defeating the Faroese coalition, the Norland Expeditionary Force attempted to besiege the ghost dragon and the necromancer on its back, only to be killed by a sanctuary and hundreds of elite warriors. That Sanctuary was a shield warrior covered in heavy armor, and he wanted to stop the other party and create an opportunity for his companions to besiege, but he didn't expect that his proud defense would be vulnerable in front of the necromancer, and he was killed on the spot!
