Chapter 119: The Mighty Three Prophets

I really didn't expect that the prayer of the goddess of justice would also apply to the goddess of darkness!

The kiss of the goddess will drive away the hope of life from death, and the warrior will swear to righteousness and gain strength and courage in blood—this sounds like a proper and decent deity!

No wonder these people are so easy to believe in heresy - these guys are convinced that the goddess of darkness they worship represents justice......

Fighting for justice?

I'm afraid those heretics think so too! They may think they are the ones who are righteous!

Because, Astalia, the goddess of justice, is not capable of resurrecting the dead in battle!

This prayer, applied to the goddess of darkness, does seem to be more practical......

These heretics begged for death on the battlefield, and they swore an oath with their own blood. And the Goddess of Darkness did drive away the Grim Reaper, gave them hope of life, got these lifeless creatures back on their feet, and gave them the strength of rage and the courage to not be afraid of death at all!

Only, presumably, it also deprived them of something else - these people seemed to be completely insane.

Or rather, they gave their souls.

Godric also saw this scene, and he naturally understood that it was impossible to fight a war of attrition in a safe confrontation! The Three Prophets were able to raise people from the dead!

"Kill them!"

Godric's face was full of horror and he gave the order, but the soldiers behind him hesitated for a moment - no one had ever seen such a scene, it was terrible!

Soon, several men ripped off a large amount of their skin, turning into a lump of flesh and blood that was red all over their bodies, picked up weapons on the ground, and began to slash and slash the people around them.

But they seem to have completely lost all consciousness - they are actually slashing along with their own people......

As soon as Leon led two or three degenerates to cut off the heads of the degenerates and gathered his recruits into the ranks, he immediately stopped the group and began to retreat.

Look at this, the resurrection technique of the three prophets is not very perfect...... These 'degenerates' seem to be friend or foe?

That's right, if these degenerates could be completely controlled, then the Three Prophets would have already become the Three Queens!

More and more men in lingerie stood up and screamed, ripped off their skin, and fought each other together......

These Fallen, friend and foe, do not inflict any effective damage, but in any case, they do scare the Combine into the Fold.

After all, this kind of thing like coming back from the dead and then molting in a group looks really terrifying......

Hundreds of devils with only red flesh and blood all over their bodies were fighting each other in a delirious state, and the whole battlefield looked like a real hell.

Although the Combine's troops are all from the border, and the long-term frontier troops have good courage and courage, the problem is that the enemies they have faced in the past are basically human, or occasionally deal with a few Noldor Elves - the Noldor looks like they are human in addition to their long ears.

But these things in front of you, no matter how you look at them, are not human......

Not to mention these soldiers, the lord looked at them with a little emptiness in his heart.

"Step back...... Go back! Avoid them! Don't come here! ”

Leon shouted loudly, stopping the Combine, which was about to move forward, and quickly retreated with the team to a position where there were no corpses.

At the moment, the soldiers of the combined army were a little hesitant and did not rush quickly, and when they heard the shouts of the lord, most of them stopped.

"Lord Godric, let the whole army retreat!"

Seeing that Godric also seemed stunned, Leon rushed to Godric's side and shouted: "Let the troops not pass, they are killing each other!" ”

Godric reacted immediately, and immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing with the command banner, and slowly retreated.

But a large force of 1,500 men, while advancing, received an order to retreat, which would definitely disrupt the formation.

This is not a modern army that has been trained in a long-term queue, but a mixed army from the five lords, so naturally it can't be a command. And it was originally planned to besiege, and the queue was relatively open.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Combine Army hesitated just now...... Otherwise, you won't even be able to take it back.

But now, the formation of the Combine Army is still a bit out of order.

At this moment, the prayers that enveloped the battlefield came to an abrupt end.

The Prophet Corps stopped praying, and their ranks began to disperse with incredible speed, and from behind the female soldiers, a large group of strange soldiers in blue-gray armor rushed out.

These were two hundred skinned men in heavy blue-gray armor, but without a single shred of skin on their heads.

Perhaps it was the fire in the camp that destroyed their black cloak burqa, and they appeared directly on the battlefield, all without helmets.

At first glance, apart from the armor, it looks no different from those degenerates who are killing each other!

If I had to say something different, it might be that the flesh of the newly peeled Fallen looked a little redder, after all, the blood on their bodies was still flowing......

And those heavily armored female soldiers with no skin, their heads already look dry reddish-brown.

And these women, dressed in heavy armor, ran fast - they took advantage of the disruption of the Combine formation and launched a rapid charge!

They looked like they had to be at least fifty pounds in heavy armor, but they were still charging faster than most grown males!

Behind them, the Prophet Legion scattered into more than a hundred squads in units of Doom Inducers, scattered at an unimaginable speed, and rushed behind those skinless heavily armored female soldiers!

The distance between the two sides was only three hundred meters, and such a charge was only a matter of tens of seconds, and the array of the combined army was not very neat, and it was too late to regroup.

"Meet the enemy!" "Stop them!"

There were a lot of shouts in the coalition army, and these experienced border troops knew that this situation must not be retreated, and they must engage to meet the enemy!

They had been arrayed in a knight squad before, and now they were also attacking head-on in formation.

Ralph's rangers also divided into a dozen formations and began to parade on both sides - they were archers, and mounted archery was their housekeeping skill, and they could not fight hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, Godric's archers were still relatively in a relatively forward position, and in the face of the rapid charge of the Prophet Legion, they only fired two rounds of arrows before they had to retreat, and the knight formation stepped forward to fend off the heavy armor skinning monsters that rushed forward.

These spontaneous responses were all correct, but the only problem was that as the teams of knights faced the enemy head-on, the already somewhat untidy array suddenly became very sparse!

And those doom inducers led the female soldiers all the way to run wildly, and after the two sides engaged, they did not attack the troops in the front row, but directly bypassed the heavy armor skinning monster in front of them and penetrated through the gap in the combined army!

Then, each squad of female soldiers went directly to a formation of knights - they obviously wanted to fight the Combine in a full-scale hand-to-hand combat with the smallest unit!

It seems that the Legion of the Prophets clearly knew that the Fallen would be uncontrollably killing each other, and that their strange ritual was not for the Fallen to kill or injure the Combine, but for the sake of this moment!

They first gathered together and waited for the Combine to disperse and encircle them;

Then let those men in underwear rush over and send them to their deaths, and then summon the Fallen on the battlefield to disrupt the formation of the Combine;

Then take the opportunity to charge and turn the battlefield into a melee!

The ability of the three prophets to adapt to temporary situations is really very strong!

Judging by the behavior of the Doom Primers, the women of the Prophet's Legion were probably not very good at fighting in formation—they weren't regular soldiers, and they probably weren't trained in arrays.

Moreover, including the doom inducer, the IQ or knowledge level of those female soldiers should not be too high, but they are only good at seducing and deceiving men - really smart or knowledgeable girls will not be deceived like this, and they don't even want to have a face.

But judging from the lord's personal experience, the personal combat effectiveness of these doom inducers is indeed very strong - and they are not afraid of pain, and they are probably not afraid of death.

With their skills and their state of not being afraid of pain or death, the Prophet Legion must be happy to fight in a melee situation!

People who don't feel pain may lose their ability to protect themselves from danger, but in a state of scuffle, people who don't feel pain are very scary - as long as they are alive, no matter what kind of injuries they take, they have 100% combat effectiveness!

Moreover, the cultists who have been brainwashed by heretics must have a terrifying will to fight......

With a few hundred cannon fodder without equipment, it must have been quite cost-effective for the Prophet Legion!

The battlefield suddenly turned into the melee that the Three Prophets wanted, and the Three Prophets' way of dealing with it was obviously very effective - a squad of six or seven people led by the Doom Usher could fight with a dozen men in a knight formation in the melee!

Leon and his team did not disperse, and no doom inducer came to them. The doom inducer targeted those knight formations, and no one rushed to his team of hundreds of people to find excitement.

However, the lord did not support the other knight formations, but quickly returned to Godric's side with the team to act as a guard, so as not to suffer Godric's decapitation tactics.

Because at this time, Godric, the manager, did not have many people around him - only the more than 100 guards led by Amy were around Godric.

The hoplites from Fort White Hart withstood the skinners, and some of the Rangers and Long River Sentinels were supporting them.

All the other troops, including Ralph, were already in the form of knights, fighting the squads that had led to their doom.

It seems fair - this formation of more than 100 knights is just against a team led by more than 100 doom inductors......

The three prophets were conspicuous on tall horses at this time, they stood still and did not approach the battlefield, with only a hundred or so men behind them, but they were obviously better equipped.

It seems that this is the group of cronies of the Prophet Legion who were in charge of the whole army when the fire broke out and killed the disobedient people.

They seemed to be eyeing Godric's banner, but they didn't come closer, after all, Godric now had a large force of more than two hundred people around him.

Godric also saw the Three Prophets: "Leon, do you think that our men are sure to deal with the people around the Three Prophets?" ”

The lord shook his head directly: "I feel that if we rush over, we can only fight in a melee......"

"I think so...... too," Godric pointed to the skinless female monsters who didn't know if they were human or not, "Are those in heavy armor also degenerates?" Looks like some skinned woman? ”。

"That's what I saw in their camp before, probably the blood sworn shrine maidens who swore a blood oath to the god of darkness and abandoned their bodies to pray for strength......

Leon replied as he observed the battlefield situation.

"But those blood-sworn shrinemaidens don't seem to be crazy......"

Godric looked at the few Fallen who were still killing each other, and then at the Blood-Oathed Witches.

"Not only are those blood-sworn shrinemaidens not crazy, but they can also patrol in formations and talk...... Maybe they're completely different from these degenerates, and I don't think they're dead...... It's the living! ”

"If they were alive...... Then there's nothing to be afraid of! Leon, I'm going to kill those blood-sworn shrine maidens! Once you've taken down those heavily armed monsters, the Rangers and Archers will be able to dominate the battlefield! ”

"Amy, stay away...... Leon, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the team of the Three Prophets, and it is okay to lure them away, and don't let them enter the battlefield! ”

Godric seemed to have strengthened his faith and made a decision, and with the guards, he planned to break the group of heavily armored female soldiers first.

"The Sword Comes"

He had already seen that the strongest fighting power of the Prophet Legion was the Doom Induction and the Blood-Oath Witches—and they were particularly adept at fighting alone.

Each Doom Inducer is slightly stronger than the average Metenheim Great Swordsman, and will definitely have the upper hand against ordinary knights.

In fact, almost every one of them is now in a dozen or three, or even more – and still not falling behind!

And the power of the Bloodoath Shrine Maiden looks extremely terrifying - their strength definitely surpasses that of Klose, and may even be comparable to the 'noisy 'Alaric' that Leon once encountered!

It's just that those blood-sworn shrine maidens don't wear helmets, and their combat skills are far from those of Doom.

However, the heavy armor on their bodies is obviously quite defensive, and the rangers' arrows can't even shoot through!

You know, the bow used by the horn to summon the rangers is the famous Eagle Strike Bow - this is a first-class strong bow, each one is a family heirloom treasure of the ranger members, not for sale!

Unless it's a shot at a blood-sworn shrinemaiden's head, which is not protected by a helmet, it's hard to kill them!

But such a melee situation obviously does not support the Rangers and the Long River Town Sentinels to aim carefully.

And in hand-to-hand combat, their strength advantage is particularly terrifying.

Armed with two-handed sabers, these fearsome creatures can often slash through shields with a single slash, and can even knock infantry weapons flying.

The Combine had only over 200 hoplites, and they were clearly no match for the Bloodsworn Shrine Maiden, and were barely able to resist with the support of some Rangers and the Sentinels of Long River.

Leon also felt that Godric's decision was fine, and that the rest of the Prophet's Legion, with the exception of the Blood-Oathed Witches, wore only chain mail or leather armor.

If you can take out those Blood Oath Shrine Maidens, you can free the Horn Summoning Ranger and White Hart Fort Archers from the melee, and then organize long-range fire to clear the battlefield.

The Three Prophets had been staring at Godric, and when they saw Godric leading the team to begin a siege of the Bloodsworn Witch, they also rushed towards Godric's banner.

"Amy, you go to Changhe Town, let the garrison go out of the city to support, and I will deal with the troops of the Three Prophets!"

Lord Lord looked at the position of the three prophets opposite: "It stands to reason that the garrison of Changhe Town can see the situation here...... Ask them why they don't fight! ”

Indeed, you can see the figures on the city wall of Changhe Town here, and the distance of about four miles can actually be barely seen, but it is just not clear.

Besides, the previous fire was so obvious, but Changhe Town has never had troops out of the city to receive reinforcements!

Amy knew that Leon didn't want her to be in danger, and she wasn't the kind of girl who was willful and reckless, so after nodding her head to show that she understood, she took a few guards and rode around in a big circle, avoiding the battlefield and heading to Changhe Town.

And Leon led the team around in an arc, blocking the Three Prophets before they were about to join the warband.

"Brothers, release the arrows!"

The lord was not stupid to charge, and after nearly a hundred meters, he began to let the archers shoot arrows.

The distance would certainly not have yielded much success, but it had succeeded in attracting the attention of the three prophets.

There were also more than a dozen doom inducers under the three prophets, and the other more than eighty female soldiers who were close to them also looked determined and indifferent, obviously their elite troops.

There are more than a hundred people on both sides, and it seems that they are evenly matched?

However, these women are neither afraid of death nor pain, and their combat effectiveness cannot be viewed with common sense at all, so Li Ang does not intend to fight hard.

He just wanted to hold them back.

However, there were only three prophets and those doom heralds on fast horses, and the female soldiers were all foot archers, and if they could be disjointed, maybe they could fight a dozen as well?

And after noticing that Leon's team was releasing arrows, the three prophets did launch a fierce charge against them at the first time—the three prophets themselves went into battle and rushed over with those doom inducers.

"Is it so direct? Brothers, back off! ”

The lord ran with the team, looking back as he ran, intending to retreat a short distance first, and then try to besiege the three prophets.

But then, he saw a terrible scene......

It was a knight, presumably Godric's men, who had just taken out a doom inducer and noticed the Three Prophets.

While the three prophets were charging at Leon and his attention was not on him, the knight charged at one of the prophets from the side with a rifle.

But the prophet with the huge broad-bladed sword saw him, and with a single wave of his hand, the knight who had already rushed in front of her was swept away!

Yes, this heavily armed knight was picked up by the casual knife and flew several meters!

Blood sprayed through the air and splattered onto the prophet's armor. But the knight's death didn't even stop the prophet from charging, it seemed like slapping a mosquito to death!

This kind of combat power is too terrifying, and Li Ang feels that he is definitely not an opponent......
