Chapter 9: The Trap
Unexpectedly, the battle situation in front of him made Senat very annoyed.
The Holy Knights, under the command of Bacon, formed a large phalanx to defend themselves against the thieves. There are three levels of the phalanx, and the outermost is more than 40 holy knights, who skillfully cooperate to resist the attack of thieves. Under Bacon's command, the outer knights exposed a gap to lure a small number of thieves in, and then blocked the gap. The thieves who entered would be surrounded by more than a dozen holy knights in the middle with superior forces, and then Bacon would command the phalanx to open the gap and continue to besiege the next group. At the innermost part of the phalanx, there were seven or eight knights, who blessed their companions with the "God of War's Blessing" magic. If someone takes heavy damage, these knights will take the position of their companions, allowing the injured knight to heal and rest in the phalanx.
This phalanx was both offensive and defensive, so that the thieves had no way to start, and after a moment of distraction, more than 20 people had already died under the sword of the Holy Knight, but only two Holy Knights were seriously injured.
The "left hand" standing beside Senat saw that the situation was unfavorable and personally led a group of tough thieves to rush forward.
The thieves led by the "left hand" are Senat's personal guards, all of whom have been selected layer by layer, and their combat power is strong, and there is a murderous aura between their gestures.
Left Hand chose the weakest link of the Holy Knight, commanded Senat's personal guard to kill him, pushed away a thief in front of him, clenched the steel claw in his hand into a fist, and slammed it into a Holy Knight.
The Holy Knight raised his shield and blocked the blow. The fist and the shield collided, making a loud sound.
The "left hand" shouted, and the ears of the people who shook were buzzing. He kicked the Holy Knight, who cocked his sword down and sliced it into the thigh of his "left hand". If the "left hand" does not stop, his thigh will be cut off first.
The "left hand" forcibly withdrew the kicking right foot, took a half step back, and stabbed the steel claw insidiously at the other knight. The knight was concentrating on the siege of the three thieves and did not notice the sneak attack of the "left hand".
The Holy Knight who was fighting against the "Left Hand" saw the "Left Hand" sneak attack his companion and had the intention to warn him, but the shouting of the "Left Hand" just now still made their ears ring, and they were afraid that the other party would not hear the shouting. In desperation, the holy knight could only take half a step, waved the long sword in his hand, and stabbed the "left hand" in the chest, hoping to force the "left hand" to give up the attack.
Half a step is enough!
The "left hand" grabbed the long sword in the Holy Knight's hand and twisted it vigorously, and the Holy Knight's long sword made of pure steel immediately turned into a pile of scrap metal.
The thieves around the "left hand" also cooperated tacitly, and the spear in his hand stabbed hard, stabbing into the throat of the holy knight!
Although the companions of the Holy Knight tried their best to rescue, they were only a millimeter short because of the distance of this half a step!
The "left hand" drops the twisted sword in his hand and pushes the slain Holy Knight to Bacon who has come to fill his position. Unwilling to harm the corpse of his companion, Bacon hesitated, took the corpse, and handed it into the hands of his companion.
The "left hand" wanted this moment, and he took a big step forward, standing in the position of the dead holy knight, and met the bacon who had come to fill the position.
Bacon saw anger in his eyes, and he swung his long sword and stabbed it at his "left hand".
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the "left hand" did not hurry, and used the steel claw in his hand to block Bacon's long sword, no matter how swift Bacon's attack was, he did not take a step back. Like a blood-sucking demon, he was firmly nailed to the vital point of the phalanx of the Holy Knights.
Bacon saw that his onslaught could not repel the "left hand", and the thieves had already killed several of his companions by taking advantage of the "left hand", so he gave a signal, slowed down the attack in his hand, and slowly retreated backwards. It is hoped that the "left hand" will be lured up and killed by force with superior forces.
Before the "left hand" joined the battle just now, he had already seen the phalanx composed of holy knights clearly, and naturally knew Bacon's intentions, he sneered, scattered his hands to attack, one punch stabbed the sword of a holy knight to the other thieves, and the other punch hit the shield of a holy knight next to him, making a loud sound.
The thieves who were fighting against the Holy Knight seized the opportunity and stabbed the Holy Knight in the lower body with a single shot. The Holy Knight fell to the ground in pain, his body convulsing, but he did not die for a while.
Bacon was annoyed when he saw that his plan had failed, and that the "left hand" had used his retreat to kill and injure his companions. He took a deep breath and pushed the negative emotions out of his mind. Lord Orlando has told him many times that the stalemate in the battle will be broken by a mistake on one side. And the source of the mistake is the negative emotions of the commander.
Bacon put aside the negativity and quickly responded to it. Under his command, the Holy Knights who had originally formed a phalanx gradually gathered together and formed a circular formation.
The circle was closer than the phalanx, and the bodies of the holy knights were almost together. They stacked their shields on top of each other to make the most of the best defenses.
Bacon sighed in his heart, the phalanx just now can still lure and kill the enemy, although the current circle formation is more tightly defended, but there is no longer the slightest power to counterattack. Now it's all about perseverance, and see who can't stand it first.
The "left hand" saw the Holy Knight change formation, and wanted to take this opportunity to break down their formation, but was firmly blocked by Bacon, and when the Holy Knight became a circle formation, several impacts of the "left hand" also became useless, the strength of the circular formation is a strong defense, looking at it, the dense shield, the steel claw smashed up and only made a sound, even if one or two can be killed, I am afraid that under the intensive defense of the Holy Knight, the corpse will not stand. The tide of the battle is at a stalemate.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Senat showed a displeased look on his face, he didn't want to grind hard with the Holy Knight, this battle he had the absolute upper hand regardless of the timing, ambush location, and number of people, if he won by grinding for a few days, it would definitely not be an honor, but a shame, a shame of incompetence!
With a hesitant look on his face, Senat thought it over and decided to use his last trump card. Anyway, all the outsiders here will be wiped out afterwards, and they are not afraid that it will spread out. Thinking of this, Senat said to a man in a black cloak standing behind him, "Vir, I'm running out of patience. You shoot. ”
The man known as "Ville" heard Senat's words and walked up slowly, taking off his black cloak, revealing a white magic robe and a badge with a large lightning bolt emblem on his chest.
"My lord," Will's voice was shrill and harsh, "I suggest you stay out of the way, lest you be hurt by mistake." ”
Sena nodded, and walked to the other side with his bodyguard.
When Senat walked away, Vir immediately recited a magic spell, and with a high-pitched and piercing sound, his hands were slowly filled with blue electric light. Under Will's manipulation, the large ball of electric light formed a thick pale blue "chain" and flew towards the Holy Knight.
In an instant, a thick chain of lightning struck the head of an unsuspecting Holy Knight. The Holy Knight who was hit in the head by the lightning chain didn't even make a scream, and turned into a piece of black charcoal. After killing the Holy Knight, the lightning chain did not disappear, but immediately catapulted into the shoulder of another knight beside him, the knight's left shoulder was scorched, and he let out a scream, and a thief took advantage of the situation and slit his throat with a knife.
However, the chain of lightning catapulted into the face of a nearby thief for the third time, and then bounced at two Holy Knights in succession before disappearing. Due to multiple ejections, the power of the lightning chain has become much less, except for the thieves who were killed by the powerful lightning, and the other two Holy Knights only took some damage, which was not fatal.
As soon as Vir struck, he killed two knights, and the thieves were immediately demoralized.
Bacon shouted a series of commands to boost morale, and then he folded his hands in front of his chest and prayed for the blessing of the god of war. Soon, a golden light emanated from Bacon's feet, and this soft golden light gradually expanded, quickly enveloping all the holy knights.
Just then, Will completed a second "chain lightning" spell. The thick chain of lightning flew straight towards Bacon.
Bacon stood upright, and he raised his shield to meet the blue lightning chain, and the shield flashed with a golden lion king mark!
The thick lightning chain slammed into Bacon's shield, and at this moment, it seemed that everyone was holding their breath!
Surprisingly, Bacon's shining golden shield was not affected by the lightning chain, and it bounced off this thick blue "chain"!
The lightning chain struck the helmet of another Holy Knight, and the golden helmet was also ejected into the crowd of thieves, and the blue lightning chain disappeared into thin air after three lives were reaped without mercy.
Seeing such an ending, the thieves besieging the Holy Knights caused a commotion, and no one wanted to turn into a piece of charcoal, and some of the cowardly thieves were ready to turn around and run.
Seeing that the thieves were accidentally injured by their own people's magic and their morale was exhausted, the steel claw in his hand did not hesitate to tear apart the two thieves who tried to escape, and shouted: "Kill those who flee for their lives!"
Seeing the stump on the steel claw of the "left hand" and the blood gushing from the corpse on the ground, the thief's commotion was stopped.
Seeing that his chain lightning advance could not break through the Holy Knight's God of War Blessing, Vir showed a hideous look on his face, he recited a large number of obscure spells in a piercing voice, and his hands kept gesturing incomprehensible movements, and soon, a large number of air elements slowly condensed in the sky above the Holy Knight's circle array.
When Veil pronounced the last note, the powerful magic was finally complete.
