431. Battle in the city
In Surdak's eyes, the buffs of the sacrificial rite can be divided into two types: the divine blessing from the face of the god and the dark blessing from the face of the demon.
Surdak had only used the Dark Blessing once when he had fended off the demon warriors who were chasing him from behind in the hilly meadows of the Warsaw plane, and he never dared to try it again.
The 'True Eye' is also a divine blessing effect that Surdak rarely uses, mainly because this blessing effect can only last for a short time or so, and Surdak has not really mastered this blessing effect, so it is not very useful in battle.
At the beginning, the Grand Wizard of Inoyatilla displayed this buff effect only to tell Surdak that the True Eye could see the faint flow of magic on the demonic beast's body, so that he could find the life pattern and demonic spirit bone hidden in the demonic beast's body.
In fact, each sacrifice can drop two positive effects.
After Surdak blessed the Nanai warrior Andrew with the 'Blessed Body', Surdak also blessed himself with the buff effect of the 'True Eye', so that Surdak's eyes temporarily have the ability to see the true nature of objects through appearances, so that Surdak can clean the rotten flesh from the wounds of Nanai warrior Andrew.
After possessing the 'True Eye', Surdak's eyes were partly colorful real world, and partly black-and-white world composed of various entangled energies and magic patterns, although Surdak was very uncomfortable with this vision at first, and made him feel dizzy for a short time, but he quickly adapted to this power.
In the vision of the True Eye, all kinds of forces are clearly distinguished, and good and bad can be seen clearly, just like Andrew's corrosive wounds, Surdak can scrape off carrion with precision.
Surdak sacrificed a second demon head to heal a guard's injured leg.
In order to maintain his abundant physical strength, he blessed himself with the 'Divine Blessed Body' buff effect by the way.
However, the four companions of the Severed Leg Warrior not only brought the head of the Hellhound, but also carried the complete body of the Hellhounds into the treatment room.
After dealing with the injured leg of the broken leg warrior, Surdak was about to dispose of the corpse of the hellhound, when his eyes fell on the hind leg of the hellhound, he unexpectedly saw a faint magic mark on the hind leg, and he could also feel that the power of the demon pattern on the hind leg of the hellhound was slowly decreasing, and after Surdak treated the third wounded soldier, he began to cut the hind leg of the hellhound with a skinning knife......
……
As soon as Karl turned to walk out of the treatment room, Surdak easily peeled off a spirit bone from the hind leg of the hellhound on the stage.
When the Demon Beast dies, if the Demon Pattern Spirit Bone cannot be taken out of the Demon Beast's body in time, the Demon Pattern Circle and magic power contained in the Demon Pattern Spirit Bone will soon slowly disappear. Of course, the duration of the magic of the Demon Pattern Spirit Bone is closely related to the quality of the Spirit Bone, I remember that when I was hunting a salamander, Surdak found a Demon Spirit Bone in the body of a salamander.
Only by storing the Demon Pattern Spirit Bone in a special Demon Sealing Chest can the magic power and magic array on the Demon Pattern Spirit Bone be preserved.
Fortunately, there is a magic sealing box in the magic belt bag of the black mage Marion, which originally contained more than 20 black vein demon skins, and now those black vein demon skins have been handed over to the magic union, but the magic sealing box has been kept by Surdak, and now it is just enough to store the spirit bones in it.
Immediately afterward, another heavily wounded Wall Guard soldier was carried into the treatment room by his companions, and several Wall Guards gave Surdak a grateful military salute before turning and walking out of the treatment room.
This time, the wounded warrior's companions simply moved in a complete hellhound in advance.
This group of city wall guards fought at the head of the city for seven days and nights, and they were able to survive not only the soldiers with rich combat experience, but also a large number of military exploits and some vicious dog heads.
The blood-red crescent infused with the power of the Holy Light cuts open the wound and then heals it quickly, making this scimitar a very good scalpel with few drawbacks other than a bit of clumsiness to use.
However, Surdak then treated more than a dozen wounded soldiers in a row, but unfortunately he couldn't find the second black devil pattern spirit bone from the corpses of these Hellhounds that moved in, but in the process of treatment, he blessed himself with a 'blessed shield'.
Not long after, Karl sent a whole box of hemostatic bandages, although he did not bring the antidote mentioned by Surdak, and there were two bottles of rum in the wooden box.
Not every wounded guard warrior needs to pay for the head of the hellhound, because the head of the hellhound is related to military merit, so when there is no need to sacrifice, Surdak will return the head of the hellhound intact, Surdak did not expect this move, it will gain the favor of a large number of wall guards, they understand that Surdak is not to earn the head of the hellhound that represents military merit, but really need to use it.
The only things that can really be called a reward are the corpses of hellhounds that have been thrown all over the streets and have not yet had time to be burned.
However, the guards of the city wall knew that the battle priest seemed to care about what others called him, and repeatedly showed that he was just a guard battalion knight who knew a little first aid.
All right! It's not that you haven't seen advanced first aid techniques, but there are no first aid techniques that can make wounds heal quickly.
Seeing that their wounds healed quickly and at a speed visible to the naked eye, many of the wall guards thought that Surdak must be a battle priest who was inconvenient to reveal his identity, and would rather go against the will of the temple and Lady Liberty than run to the battlefield to heal the wounded soldiers, and all the wall guards were grateful to Surdak for being willing to accept divine punishment and save everyone.
Although the city wall guards did not understand Surdak's small hobby of dissecting hellhounds, it did not mean that they did not support Surdak in doing so, in order to fully express their gratitude, the city wall guards moved the hellhound corpses that were not needed, so it was not long before the treatment room was filled with foul-smelling hellhound corpses.
This incident even alarmed the commander of the guard battalion, Viscount Emmett, and when Viscount Emmett personally brought people over to understand the situation, he found that there were many local city defenders gathered on the side of the city wall where the reinforcement squadron was responsible for guarding.
Later, he learned that one of the squadron leaders named Surdak was doing his best to treat the guards, so he gave Karl a few words of encouragement as the squadron leader and hurried away.
……
The Haylanza City Guard Battalion had just arrived in the city of Warjmara, and Viscount Emmett was very busy with his official duties.
Not only did he have to get the defense rotation plan with the defense chief of Warzhmara City, but also a series of follow-up logistics problems, the knights of the guard battalion were not city defense warriors after all, the capacity of the airship was not enough, and the envoy of Bena City did not let the knights of the Hylantha Guard Battalion carry horses, Viscount Emmett felt that the city of Warzhmara should be prepared, but when the guard battalion arrived in Warzhmara City, he found that because of the siege of the hellhounds, it was actually in chaos.
I heard that the new consul of the city of Volzhmara will arrive before the evening, and this new consul of Volzhmara is also the commander-in-chief of the maca plane war, and the commander of the city defense, Felix. The Marquis of Corberm had been staying in front of the portal in the central square, just to be able to meet the commander-in-chief of the war first.
Viscount Emmett, as the commander of the Haylanza City Guard Battalion, also needed to rush to the meeting for the deployment of the battle.
It is said that this time, the new Archon will bring a complete army of constructed swordsmen from Bena Province.
When the war horn sounded again on the city wall, Surdak was about to receive the nineteenth wounded soldier, but when he stood at the door of the treatment room, he heard the low roar of the hellhounds outside the city wall and the rumbling sound of countless sharp claws scratching the city wall frantically, he was no longer in the mood to treat the wounded soldiers, and with the help of the guard battalion knight on the side, he quickly put on the new 'Earth Shield' demonic pattern armor, carried the craftsman's sword in one hand and the shield in the other, and rushed up the city wall in a few big steps.
Surdak's feet lit up with an aura of power, and he rushed forward with an arrow, just as he encountered a swarthy hellhound probing from the outside of the battlement, opening his bloody mouth and biting the iron spear in the hand of a guard battalion knight.
The knight struggled to pull out the iron spear that had bitten the vicious dog in his mouth, and countless sparks burst out between the sharp teeth and the iron spear, and the head of the vicious dog was like the head of a calf, swaying from side to side violently, and the knight of the guard battalion was like a leaf swaying wildly in the wind and rain, and his body slammed into the city wall and bounced back, immediately spurting out a mouthful of blood.
He was clutching the big iron spear so hard that no matter how much the hellhound shook his head, he wouldn't let go.
Surdak stepped on the steps of the city wall hard, perhaps because the force under his feet was too strong, the stone steps showed cobweb-like cracks, and Surdak wore armor like an iron tower, and pounced on the hellhound with half of his body poking out of the battlements like a god, and the craftsman's sword in his hand struck on the head of the hellhound like a mallet, and the hard head of the hellhound suddenly burst open, and purple blood and slimy muddy brains splashed all over the battlements of the city wall.
The three effects of 'Divine Blessed Body', 'Aura of Strength' and 'Demon Pattern Construction' were blessed on Surdak at the same time, which immediately made his strength grow by leaps and bounds.
Surdak was eager to save people, and some of them used too much force, and the big iron spear that bit the vicious dog's mouth was also bent by him with a sword.
The knight of the guard battalion seemed to have reacquainted himself with Surdak, and stood by and looked at him dumbfounded.
Surdak looked at the smashed demon head with some pity, and thought to himself that he really couldn't use too much force in the future, and if it was smashed, he might not be able to use it as a sacrifice.
Then he patted the knight of the guard battalion on the shoulder, who had not yet recovered his strength, and told him: "Be careful, you must stab them down before they climb the top of the city, and if you can't leave the enemy, let go and retreat, there are other companions by your side!" ”
The knight of the guard battalion glanced at Surdak gratefully, his pupils suddenly widened, he stared behind Surdak with a look of horror, and shouted, "...... Captain Surdak. ”
Before Surdak could turn around, the smell of blood appeared behind him, and Surdak almost simultaneously made a movement to turn around and raise his shield to parry, a feathered arrow flew past Surdak's face, and was firmly nailed to the eye socket of the hellhound behind him, and the hellhound that came up from the city slapped a sharp claw on Surdak's shield, probing the blood basin and biting Surdak.
Hellhound let out a terrible howl, the purple blood coming out of its left eye with a transparent jelly-like liquid, its claws did not slap Surdak's shield away, but instead allowed Surdak to stab his sword into the heart from the chest dripping hot magma downward, Surdak swung his shield again and smashed the Hellhound away, a layer of silver light erupted on the shield, and the huge body of the Hellhound fell heavily on the city.
At the moment when Surdak entered the battle, several knights of the guard battalion at the head of the city were pounced on by the hellhounds that rushed out of the battlements, but the leaders of the reinforcement regiment were all experienced knights, and immediately led their men to counterattack and rescue those comrades who had fallen from the vicious dogs.
The knights of the guard battalion who followed Surdak were much luckier, as a knight with a 'power aura', Surdak's power had already crushed these hellhounds, and in just a quarter of an hour, there were more than a dozen hellhounds that rushed to the city and were killed by Surdak.
Karl arrived with his men and joined Surdak.
Karl glanced at the 'Earth Shield' Demonic Pattern Construct on Surdak's body with envy, and he had always been very enthusiastic about the strongest Demonic Pattern Armor in this one-turn Demonic Pattern Fabric......
This time, the hellhounds attacked the city in a big way, and the hellhounds in the defense section of the Hellentha guard camp were met by the reinforcement squadron outside the city.
There are a total of nineteen constructed knights in the Hylantha guard battalion, almost all of them are one line higher than the strength of the hellhounds, even if these constructed knights face to head on the battlefield on the plains, they can crush these hellhounds, not to mention this kind of condescending defense battle, the hellhounds were repelled again in a wave of siege.
After the battle, Surdak treated the wounds of the lightly wounded knights to prevent them from being further corroded by the saliva from the mouth of the hellhound, and without taking a break, he took off the cuirass on his body and went back into the treatment room, where he continued to treat the wounded defenders of Warzhmara.
The corpses of vicious dogs were piled up in the open space outside the warehouses under the city, and more and more wounded soldiers came to Surdak for treatment, and gradually a long queue formed outside the warehouse.
The city's defenders suffered heavy losses this time, most of the guards who came down from the city were wounded, and Surdak was almost busy until dark before he could catch his breath.
If you don't hear the horn of war sounding at the head of the city, it means that the battle at the head of the city is not fierce.
The small group of Surdak did not even participate, and the dinner was a batter porridge boiled from the marching rations, although it was not delicious, but the knights who had not eaten for a day were already so hungry that their hearts were close to their backs, and after the batter porridge was served, everyone almost drank it in one gulp, and then added another bowl.
Surdak sat against the stone wall at the foot of the wall, his hand holding the skinning knife still trembling slightly, and Karl sat beside him, laughing quietly and saying that he was asking for trouble......
The archers from Bena City quickly climbed the tower, and the heavy crossbowmen and longbowmen who had been guarding the tower quickly left the city wall and returned to the camp to rest.
An archer with a forest bow on his back approached, clutching his arms and looking pained, as if he had struggled with every step.
