The Prophet's combat power seemed to be completely unattainable by humans - no normal person could pick up a knight with two or three hundred pounds of equipment with a single hand......

And the huge broad-bladed knife in her hand, which was two and a half meters long, emitted a strange light in the sun, and there was no trace of blood left on the blade, and it looked absolutely extraordinary.

Her dark red armor, soaked in blood, also began to show a vision—the inner lining of the armor seemed to tremble!

It looks like pouring a scoop of hot oil on top of a piece of fresh meat!

Then, the armor revealed what it really was...... It was dark red flesh, intertwined with gray bones, forming an eerie texture.

The blood-drenched flesh swayed slightly in the sunlight, and it felt as if it were alive......

That's armor made of flesh and blood!

Or rather, it wasn't armor at all, it could be regarded as some kind of sorcery item made by the Three Prophets out of human flesh and bones......

It probably looks like a gorgeous red armor usually, but once it is stained with blood, it will look like it was originally bloody!

The lord was visibly frightened...... He gritted his teeth and pulled out an arrow and turned around and shot it.

The arrow missed a distance of tens of meters and pierced the prophet's chest accurately, but it was only shallowly pierced on it, and fell down with the prophet's caress of his hand!

Is the defense so high?

The prophet is charging at the end of the arrow, and he can't even shoot it?

The lord's heart sank—he knew what the moth was from the voice of the goddess of justice, Astalia......

The Three Prophets not only have outstanding flickering ability and adaptability, but their own combat power is also so powerful!

This can't be considered a witch anymore, it belongs entirely to a ghost......

No wonder they were burned down and the camp didn't retreat - they didn't have to retreat at all!

I originally thought that I could fight a dozen of them if they were disjointed, but now it seems that it would be good not to put their lives on the line!

But the horses of the three prophets were very fast, and most of Leon's team was infantry, so it was definitely not a way to run like this......

The lord gritted his teeth, slowed Alice's pace, turned around and stopped: "Stop!" Spread out and attack! ”

There's no way, you can't run, take advantage of the fact that there are only three prophets and a dozen doom inducers rushing over now, and try it out......

Although the outcome is unpredictable, and the inevitable loss is huge, but no matter what, you can only fight!

Looking at the oncoming Three Prophets, the lord took off the mounted spear from the hook—the one that King Ulrik had 'gifted' him.

tomato

I don't know if this time, under the gun, are all beings still equal?

Seeing that Li Ang raised his cavalry spear, the thirty cavalrymen also raised their cavalry spears, turned their horses, and prepared to follow their own boss to counterattack.

"Cavalry ready!"

“hooohoohoo…… hooohoo……”

Just as Leon was about to make a counter-charge, the whistle of the owl knights suddenly sounded in the distance behind him.

And the three prophets who were rushing in front of him actually slowed down their horses, and then went around in a small circle and retreated with the doom guides!

Leon turned around, and a few hundred meters away, it was Baron Leofrick's team that set the fire back!

It's just right!

Although it was only more than 200 lightly armed soldiers on horses, at this moment, Leofrick's team became the key to deciding the victory!

Their horses were clearly unfit for combat, and in fact Leofric probably didn't know much about the situation - but in the eyes of the Prophet's Legion, it was a cavalry force of nearly three hundred men!

If this was really a 300-strong Lion Realm cavalry, as long as they entered the battlefield, most of the Prophet Legions in the melee would indeed be destroyed......

Probably because I haven't been abducted in front of the goddess recently, the lord feels that his luck seems to have improved?

The three prophets obviously stopped charging when they saw this cavalry team, and even if they were female ghosts, they were probably not strong enough to dare to use twenty men against three hundred cavalry......

Just as the Three Prophets returned to their ranks of female cronies, a shrill voice like a ghostly cry rang out.

"Squeak......

It's like the sound of rubbing metal hard, it's harsh and upsetting.

That should have been the order of the Prophet Legion to collect its troops.

Just after this cacophony sounded, the group of blood-sworn shrinemaidens launched a furious charge.

They no longer cared about their lives as if they had completely lost their minds, and rushed frantically towards the various doom induction squads, as if they wanted to free the female soldiers trapped in the melee.

Their strength was astonishing, and the incident happened so suddenly that the hundreds of warriors around them couldn't stop them.

Subsequently, the Doom Channeler of the Prophet Legion was answered by these crazy blood-sworn witches, led the team out of the battlefield and quickly retreated to the position of the Three Prophets.

But in this kind of melee, only a little more than half of the people who can successfully withdraw from the battle group are actually a little more than half, and many female soldiers are completely trapped in the melee, even if there is a blood oath witch to respond, they can't get out at all.

The Blood-Oath Shrine Maiden who forcibly assaulted suffered even greater losses, and only a few dozen of them were able to successfully retreat, and most of the others had their heads cut off.

Willing to suffer huge losses than forcibly withdraw their troops, the Three Prophets were obviously worried about being forcibly assaulted by this 'cavalry regiment', and they were obviously more concerned about their own safety.

But his own family knew his own business - Godric also saw Leofric's team, and he knew that this 'cavalry' on horseback could not fight at all, so he did not give the order to pursue, but led the team to quickly clear out all the enemies who were still in the battlefield.

Li Ang also immediately led the team to start cleaning up the remnants of the enemy.

It is true that none of these female soldiers will surrender, and they will all fight to the death in silence, which is quite tricky to deal with.

And, after discovering that they couldn't get out of the battlefield, some of the trapped Doom Inducers went as berserk as the Blood-Oathed Shrine Maiden - they suddenly erupted with the same strength as the Blood-Oath Shrine Maiden, and then began to fight in defiance of life and death.

But the sudden outburst seemed to come at a cost—they gained amazing power, but seemed to have lost their dexterity and intelligence.

They no longer dodge, they don't even defend.

While they did cause a lot of casualties to the Combine as a result, they were also killed by the siege much faster.

After clearing out the female soldiers trapped in the battlefield, the Combine regrouped. With the experience just now, Godric will definitely not let the army scatter again, and in the face of these women, fighting in formation is the king.

It didn't take long for the battlefield to calm down.

The Prophet's Legion had lost more than 300 men, which was a third of their strength, and there were still about 60 Blood Oath Witches, 100 Doom Inducers, and more than 500 female soldiers.

The combined forces lost more than 200 casualties, plus more than 300 casualties of various light and serious wounds, and the battle losses also reached one-third.

No one is asking for benefits......

In fact, if the fight continues in such a chaotic manner, it must be the Coalition Army that collapses first.

No matter how elite the human army is, it is impossible for them to maintain a high morale level despite increasing battle losses, and sooner or later they will reach a critical point unless they have a strong revolutionary faith.

And now the situation is that the troops with strong faith are these heretical witches...... They looked like they would fight to the end even if they fought to the last soldier, which the Combine couldn't do.

But now, the Legion of the Prophets had gathered around the three Prophets in a circle.

Blood-sworn shrinemaidens in heavy armor stood in the front row, while the female soldiers with long-handled knives stood in a dense array, and the other women were in the middle, bows and arrows in their hands.

Obviously, this is a purely defensive form, and it looks like it is going to be used to defend against cavalry surprise attacks.

It seems that the Prophet Legion will also have a little easier battle formations - but judging by their equipment, there is only so much formation they can use.

"Look at it this way, are they worried that we will charge with cavalry? They thought Leofrick was carrying a lancer? ”

Godric also saw this situation, but in fact, there were not many traditional cavalry of the Lion Realm in the Combine lineup......

Ralph's Rangers were heavily armed archers, and although they could charge like the Lion Knights, they used spears and bows instead of spears.

The length of the spear was not even as long as the long-handled knife in the hand of the Prophet's cronies, and except for the specially made extended spear in Ralph's hand, the other Rangers rushed forward to avoid it.

In fact, the war spear was originally used against the cavalry lance - the Rangers had fought the Cato for a long time, and the relatively short but more flexible war spear was a melee weapon specifically against the Cato lancers, not for the cavalry lance thrust.

And Godric and Leofrick's knights are all traditional noble knights in the Lion Realm, but their number is not large, and at the moment, excluding casualties, there are only about forty of them.

Moreover, these knights are grassroots lords, and once they die, it is likely that the troops they bring will no longer obey the command.

The cavalry under Leon could be regarded as traditional lancers, but the number was too small.

The rest is all infantry and archers......

As for the nearly 300 men on horseback that Leofrick was now carrying, these were just the soldiers he had brought to escort the grain and grass, most of them were not cavalrymen, but they could only drive and ride horses......

Therefore, the Combine Army could not charge the battle with cavalry, but the Prophet Legion did not know about this, they thought that all the cavalry brought by Leofrick were Lion Realm, so they could only form a defensive formation......

The Rangers of the Horn Calling the Ranger Regiment were staring, and the Prophet Legion did not dare to retreat directly - they would definitely be pursued by the Ouroboros, and it would be miserable to be pursued by the mounted archers.

And the battle just now has already shown the strong combat effectiveness of the Prophet Legion, so Godric did not dare to attack directly......

As a result, both sides formed an array and confronted each other a few hundred meters apart, and no one acted rashly.

The battlefield has formed a strange confrontation situation - if there were no corpses and blood all over the ground, those who don't know would think that the fight had not started at all.

If the battle really didn't start, then the situation must be in line with the lord's wishes - the camp and food and grass of the Prophet Legion have been burned, and they have no supplies.

However, neither Leon nor Godric were now unsure if they needed to eat—the Dark Goddess could even resurrect from the dead, so what if they could also set them free?

"If this continues, will there be other dead people who will be turned into degenerates by them? After all, there seem to be quite a few dead people near their camp......"

It was Klose who spoke.

That's right!

The lord also thought that when the two sides approached before, the Prophet's legion was regrouping, and they could be seen slashing and killing the men from a distance.

But why didn't they see any degenerates rising up near the burning camp when they prayed just now?

In other words, they can't create degenerates at will?

At this point, Sarah replied, "Probably not...... Only those who believe in the goddess of darkness can become degenerates. What I mean by this is that you have to give your soul and flesh to the Goddess of Darkness in order to gain the power you can ...... Moreover, without the sacrifice of souls at the altar, the fallen are of little use, and as you have seen, they will kill each other......"

"Sarah, have you seen these heretics?" Li Ang was a little surprised: "Then you didn't say it before?" ”

"I haven't seen the Fallen before...... And it's not a glorious thing, when I was in Crag Rock Bay many years ago, I was almost tricked into becoming a believer in the Goddess of Darkness! ”

Sarah shook her head, a rare look of shyness - the expression that often appeared on Anson's face was unbelievable.

"Lured?"

Leon looked at Sarah in surprise: "You? Seduced by someone else? You're not saying the opposite, are you? ”

"Adults, everyone has a time when they are young and ignorant......"

Sarah's tone was a little low: "I was only eighteen years old at the time, and I had just left my hometown not long ago, and I liked a knight who I shouldn't like. He is a believer in the goddess of justice and is considered a decent person. Because of him, I also became a believer in Astalia—I didn't expect that a bard like me actually worshiped the goddess of justice......"

"He taught me swordsmanship and once took me to an elven girl's auction...... But that was the last time I was with him, and then he suddenly disappeared. ”

"I thought he had abandoned me...... Later, in the tavern, I met a woman who said that he was a playboy and that he had a crush on someone else and offered to take me to him. I was so innocent at the time that I actually believed it. ”

"Then I was taken to the swamp north of the Swamp Castle, where there was a secret lair, where I heard the prayer of the Goddess of Justice, a prayer he often recited, and I believed that he was indeed here......"

"But unexpectedly, it was a heretical gang that seduced girls, and they believed in the dark goddess Ereda...... I saw their altars. ”

"I knew that heretics would gain power by sacrificing flesh and blood, so I was on guard. There, I learned that the goddess of darkness, Ereda, had no physical form, no fixed form, and no face. Once the heretics have stripped them of their skin, the power of the dark gods can be inflicted on them. Of course, this was only what I heard about there, and I hadn't actually seen such heretics as the Blood-Oath Shrine Maidens at that time, nor had I ever been able to see their rituals with my own eyes......"

"Because when I saw the altar full of flesh, I fled quickly...... I'm not the kind of ignorant girl who doesn't understand anything, after all. ”

Sarah smiled wryly and looked at the lord, "It's just that I was full of that man at that time, and I didn't observe it too carefully...... Later, when I traveled everywhere, I actually wanted to find him...... But now it seems that the heretical gang I once encountered was probably helping the Three Prophets find believers. ”

Leon sighed, "Sarah, the gang you met wasn't necessarily looking for believers - based on your appearance, I think they were probably looking for skins!" Thankfully, you escaped...... Otherwise, I'm afraid that one of the three prophets we see now will be like you! ”

Sarah gasped.

This is indeed very possible......

"But what now? It's not going to take care of that...... If we continue to wear down, our team morale may get lower and lower, after all, everyone hasn't slept all night. If you attack, you can't be sure...... But I don't want them to run away too, Leon, do you have an idea? ”

It was Godric who spoke, and he didn't know when he got into Leon's team.

It is true that the three prophets cannot be allowed to run away like this, with their skills, as long as they do not die, they will probably be able to make a comeback soon-it is nothing more than reorganizing a pig-killing plate that seduces and brainwashes......

"The Prophetic Legion is worried about our 'cavalry'...... Then let Baron Leofrick and the Rangers work harder, keep an eye on them from a few hundred meters, and let's take the rest of the troops to advance to Long River. Anyway, it is unlikely that they will attack the main attack, and with a large number of 'cavalry' staring at them, they will definitely not dare to retreat like this......"

The Lord felt that it was easier to do now, at least he knew what the enemy was afraid of, and the Three Prophets were obviously no longer able to summon the Fallen.

"But first let the soldiers have a firm faith...... Sarah, go and tell the soldiers that they are the most evil demons, their skin comes from the women and children they killed, their possessions come from deceived knights, and their armor and strength come from the flesh and blood of the villagers...... If we don't kill them here, no one in the surrounding villages will be able to escape their clutches! We've got to fight them to the end – you know what to say. ”

Leon turned to look at the soldiers behind him and motioned for Sarah to go to the team to promote it first.

Godric also recruited Ralph and Charles to take the Rangers to popularize the horrors of the Prophet Legion in the Combine.

The Combine then split into two lines, with the large army holding the wounded and slowly advancing towards Rivertown, while Leofrick cleaned the battlefield with his 'cavalry' and Ralph's rangers patrolled behind the Prophet's legion.

The Prophet Legion did maintain a circular formation and did not move, just watching as the Combine infantry array kept a distance of about three hundred meters to bypass them.

Both sides were on guard and no one moved, and the Combine advanced slowly and cautiously, watching the Prophet's legion move slowly, and it took more than an hour to move four miles to the outside of Changhe Town.

The entry into the city went well, and Amy had been negotiating with the garrison beforehand.

However, as soon as he entered the city, the lord saw Amy coming over angrily: "Teacher, these guys are too selfish to fight at all!" It's not a hassle to get you into the city......"
