Chapter 41: The Fierce Battle
With the death of the Priest of Light, the interior of the church is once again filled with black fog.
But the Knights of Punishment did not flinch, and the attacks became more frenzied, and the fervor of faith gave them courage.
With a scream, one of the warrior attendants brought by the middle-aged scribe was stabbed to the ground, and then stabbed to death by several knights who rushed up. Only the old butler and another retinue were left under the attack of the chief knight and the three punishment knights, escorting the scribe's family of four to retreat.
On the other hand, the bearded ranger and several of his companions are also in a bad situation.
Although the two Bright Warriors were fourth-level captains, the martial arts of the Church Warrior Regiment were solid and powerful, and under the cooperation of the two, the bearded man roared again and again, but he was never able to break through the attack of the two.
His three companions had to deal with the onslaught of the six punishment knights, and it was even more unbearable, and two of them were already wearing color and were still struggling to hold on.
Suddenly, one of the Light Warriors who was attacking the bearded ranger suddenly slowed down, and there was a gap between him and his companion.
The bearded ranger took this opportunity to slash his sword at the face of the Light Warrior.
The long sword was already above his head, and the Bright Warrior hurriedly raised his halberd to block.
The sword and halberd collided, and the bearded ranger clearly felt that the opponent's strength was insufficient, and the halberd was pressed down, and the blade of the sword swept past the chest of the warrior of light.
After a while, one of the punishment knights who attacked the old butler on the other side suddenly slowed down, and the sword he stabbed out was weak. The old butler grabbed his wrist and broke it outward, breaking his wrist at once.
The Light Samurai and the Punishment Knight were seriously injured one after another due to mistakes, and the balance of the battle gradually returned.
But the strange thing has just begun, and one after another punishment knights made fatal mistakes, and in the blink of an eye, one was killed and one was injured.
When a hint of powerlessness suddenly emerged from the knight chief's body, he instantly reacted, "It's not good, it's a debilitating technique!"
The second-level dark magic "Ball of Weakness" has almost no lethality, and only makes people feel weak for a moment, and the higher the level of the warrior, the less affected it is.
This is a seemingly useless chicken rib magic, if you are hit by the "Ball of Weakness" in normal times, the person who reacts slowly will pass without even feeling it, but in a battle with full force stimulation, the slightest slowness is fatal!
Strange spells, powerful field control, this is the terrible thing about dark mages, and one of the reasons why the church has regarded them as a thorn in the flesh for thousands of years.
When the "Ball of Weakness" fell on his body, the operation of the fighting qi in the knight's chief suddenly stagnated, and the long sword that stabbed out with all his strength was slow, and it was knocked open by the old butler's pipe, and then slapped on the chest by the progressive palm.
The knight staggered back a few steps and sat down on the ground.
A knight of punishment stepped forward to intercept the old butler's pursuit of the chief knight.
The old butler flipped the pipe in his hand, and the head of the pipe was facing the face of the Punishment Knight, and a huge fireball suddenly erupted from it, and exploded on the Punishment Knight's face.
This strange pipe turned out to be an enchanted weapon of no small level.
"Get out of here!"
The chief knight took advantage of this opportunity to quickly stand up, but instead of joining the warband again, he rushed to the church door with one hand on his chest.
The Knights of Punishment were brave but not stupid, and they knew that with a dark mage in the shadows, the operation could not succeed again.
The chief knight ordered, and the other punishment knights also tried to get rid of the opponent and withdraw.
"Don't let them run away, no one of us here will survive!" the bearded ranger yelled anxiously.
These punishment knights in front of them are not terrible, what is terrible is the huge church power behind them, once today's news leaks, everyone will face the endless pursuit of the church.
Arthur, who stabbed the priest of light to death with a sword, did not take the opportunity to slip away, and was blocking the door of the church.
Arthur slammed the big sword in his hand, revealing a sneer that should not be deserved by a young man of this age, "Since the tiger hurts people, naturally you can't let the tiger return to the mountain!"
"Get out of here!" The first to rush was the wounded knight chief, and a sword stabbed at Arthur's face, and the overflowing fighting spirit on the sword was half a foot long.
The sword of the fifth-level captain was by no means something that Arthur could stop, and he jumped to the side without hesitation, dodging the sharp sword, but also gave way to the door.
The knight didn't care about chasing Arthur, and took advantage of this opportunity to jump out of the door.
As soon as the knight's feet landed, he felt that his feet were weak, and he instantly fell into the mud below his ankles, and he was still sinking rapidly.
Earth magician! The knight's heart was half cold in an instant, he didn't expect that there was an ambush outside the church.
The wind sounded behind his head, and Arthur's greatsword had slashed from behind.
The chief knight couldn't turn around, so he had to twist his waist and slash back, and with a sword he blocked Arthur's momentum.
Even with his feet stuck in the mud and unable to exert his full strength, Arthur could not easily break through the knight's defenses.
The knight's eyes erupted into flames, staring at the young man in front of him with a still immature face.
Arthur smiled at the knight, and the big sword in his hand suddenly let go, and his body lunged forward at the same time.
The force pressing on his sword suddenly disappeared, and the inertia caused the long sword in the knight's hand to continue to rise, picking Arthur's great sword into the air, but also completely revealing the empty door behind him.
It was at this moment that Arthur pounced on the knight's back, and the hunting knife in his hand stabbed under the knight's right rib.
The knight grunted and elbowed Arthur into the air.
Arthur had already taken precautions against this, and flew back upside down with his strength, retreating to the door of the church again, and then indifferently watched the chief knight slowly fall down in pain.
"Fight to the death" is about killing with one blow, and Arthur's stab from the right rib directly punctured the knight's liver, and he never had a chance to stand up again.
Screams rang out one after another in the church, and after losing the fifth-level combat power of the knight chief, the bearded ranger and his companions, with the assistance of the dark mage, went on a killing spree against the punishment knight.
Occasionally, those who rushed to the door of the church rushed headlong into Arthur, the little god of killing.
When there was no more movement, the black fog in the church began to slowly dissipate, gradually revealing a tragic scene.
The ground was littered with horrific corpses, blood staining almost the entire ground.
The only people left standing in the church were the bearded ranger, the old butler, and Arthur.
The bearded ranger has two striking wounds on his chest, and his entire chest is soaked in blood, but he still struggles to maintain an upright stance with his greatsword. Two companions behind him sat on the ground bandaging each other's wounds, and the other was lying on his back, completely out of breath. The fatal wound was a halberd stuck in the abdomen, and he did not escape the final blow of the Light Warrior before he died.
The old butler still held the long pipe in his hand, but his other arm hung limply, and the blood was still dripping. Not far behind him was a family of middle-aged scribes squatting in the corner of the church. The man stood in the way, and the woman held the two children tightly in her arms. Next to them were the warrior retinue who was hugging the Punishment Knight, and their weapons were in each other's bodies, and they didn't let go until they died.
Arthur was the best of the three, with no external injuries on his body except for a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
The bearded ranger and the old butler were both looking Arthur up and down with surprised and curious eyes at this time, no one expected that this little mercenary would be the key to the situation of the battle today.
"Come out!" the bearded ranger suddenly turned his head and yelled at the Daedric.
