Chapter 145: Robbers and Vampires
Seeing that all the people in the group had left their horses behind, Eric knew that they were about to enter the trap set by Villa. Dieng Preo was surrounded by a large number of people in the middle of the dismount, and Borg stood in a relatively far position, and when Borg took off his helmet, he immediately attracted Eric's attention.
Eric, who had been keeping an eye on Dion Preo, did not notice any powerful people around him, which made Eric more cautious.
As the heir of a large family, it is impossible to have no one around to protect him, but now the person next to Dion Prio is Giggs, the paladin who has fought against Eric and Harold, and his expression looks more serious than anyone else.
"Count Dion, is it really okay for you to have the man who was a pirate to protect you?" said Caydon to Dion Prio when he met Borg.
"yes, these people's loyalty has always been very problematic, why don't we take care of the perimeter guard!" Falk agreed with Kaidong.
Dion Prio shook his head and said, "I don't need loyalty, I need obedience!"
As the team methodically navigated through the cloud forest, the environment gradually became quiet, and many people began to feel a little depressed.
There was only the dull sound of footsteps as they marched, and there was not even a sound of wind around them, until they saw a few puffs of cooking smoke not far ahead, which was much better.
The commander of the Emperor [***] team stopped everyone and motioned for everyone to prepare for battle, where the smoke was where the enemy gathered.
The upcoming battle has weakened the sense of depression in everyone's hearts a lot. The Emperor's [***] team consisted of soldiers with iris shields at the front, and the archers behind had already removed their bows and arrows from their backs.
The Templars followed closely behind the Emperor's [***] team, and the nobles' guards followed behind the Templars.
This time was different from the past, and the militiamen, who had been in the vanguard of each battle, were placed at the rear.
The Emperor [***] team obviously didn't want the enemy to react in time, the militia's combat effectiveness was really limited, and it was not only useless to rush forward, but it was a reminder to the other party - hey, you have been surrounded, don't hurry up and organize a resistance.
Suddenly, a large number of arrows flew from the woods on both sides of the team, and the Templars and the Knights of the Sanctuary raised their shields in their hands.
The noble guards and militiamen were quickly damaged by these arrows, and these people were not well equipped to protect themselves from the arrows.
"How can there be an ambush here?" shouted Bishop Simpson.
At this moment, a shield shining with starlight appeared in front of Bishop Simpson, and all the arrows shot at him were blocked by this shield, and the arrows seemed to shoot at a wall, only causing some dents in the starlight shield, and finally fell to the ground weakly.
The dents returned to their original shape very quickly, and as for Dion Prio, the arrows did not appear near him at all.
The arrows were either shot down with a weapon, or someone stood in front of Dion Prio and used his body as a shield to block the arrow directly.
The rest of the guards didn't end so well, and the weaker ones were all shot through by the arrows.
In the face of a dense rain of arrows, people who react quickly try to avoid the vital points and let the arrows fall on the limbs, there is no way, unless there is the strength of a knight, otherwise it is impossible to shoot down all the oncoming arrows.
Suddenly, a black light shot out of the woods and headed straight for Dion Prio, and the black light arrived in the blink of an eye. Borg's right hand had just taken the sword to split some arrows, and seeing that this black light had an extraordinary origin, he hurriedly swung his left fist to stop this black light, and Borg's punch speed was much faster than his sword speed.
But Borg's fist still flew into the air, and he immediately shouted: "It's not good, the other side has a knight-level shooter!"
"Poof!", as soon as Borg's words came out, this black light directly pierced through the three guards who were blocking Dion Prio, and when he was about to hurt Dion Prio, Giggs, who was standing next to Dion Prio, quickly drew his sword and stopped the black light that was greatly reduced.
When the black light landed, everyone realized that it was a jet-black arrow thicker than a thumb, and the length was more than half that of an ordinary arrow.
Giggs had not yet let go of the arrow, for it was followed by a steady stream of arrows aimed at Dion Prio.
Seeing that his safety was almost entirely the responsibility of the Templars, Dion Prio looked at the members of the team he had personally assembled, shook his head, and said, "What a bunch of useless things!"
Porzag, who was bored fiddling with his spear to fend off the arrows, suddenly perked up: "Hahaha, vampire, I smell the smell of vampires! You dare to transform near me! Where do you run now?"
With that, Porzag ran straight out of the group and ran in the direction where the arrow was flying.
Compared to the chaotic ranks of noble guards and militias, the Emperor [***] team quickly fought back.
After a change of formation, the soldiers with their irises quickly stood in front of the archers, who always seized the opportunity to fight back, and their arrows were even more fierce than the enemy's, and soon screams were heard from the woods.
"Motmah", many people heard the sound of incantation coming from the woods again, and then, countless green liquid and white rays came out of the woods, and many people felt dizzy in their heads.
"Ahh
In addition, everyone was a little slow to react by the "vertigo technique".
The screams of people who have been injured by magic have caused many people to feel uneasy. The formation of the Emperor [***] team was still as immovable, and the knight team of the Dawn Sanctuary did not cause any confusion.
"Well, these wicked wizards, do you think that with such a little power of magic alone is like defeating us?" the person who shouted was Bishop Simpson, who was the first to rush forward with the Templar Knights, and asked the probationary priests to heal the wounded, and most importantly to remove the damage caused by magic.
The Emperor's [***] team also began to charge, but as soon as the soldiers took a step, they fell to the ground violently.
Eric noticed that the ground beneath his feet suddenly softened, and the ground quickly turned into a swamp.
"Turning mud into a swamp?" said Eric's heart. It's a ring of magic, Eric has only heard of this magic, he doesn't know it, he still has some interest in it.
When the Emperor and the Knights of the Sanctuary were mired in the mire and their movements were temporarily restricted, the enemy finally rushed out of the woods.
Everyone had some doubts about the bandits at the front, and the equipment of these bandits was too uniform, and they were all a set of leather armor with nails all over their bodies.
When did the equipment of these robbers be so good?In addition to the elite of the empire, the equipment of many emperor [***] teams is similar to that of these bandits.
Fortunately, the robbers who rushed out of the woods on the other side were much more normal, looking like peasants with arms, wearing everything, half of animal skin armor, linen robes, aristocratic clothes, half naked, and even women's clothes around their waists, which really made people laugh and cry, but the weapons in the hands of these people were not bad.
"It's just a death search, not only evil wizards, it seems that these robbers are also dressed up by the Stormcloak Rebels!" Bishop Simpson took the lead, and with a wave of his hand, a dazzling beam of light shot out of his hand.
"Dawn Sword!" Eric recognized this magic at a glance, he had suffered from it. Eric ignored the robbers and slowly leaned towards Dion Prio.
Bishop Simpson's magic surprisingly did little to the charging bandits, as the "Dawn Sword" was stopped by a blood-red beam.
The speed of the blood-red beam was even much faster than that of the "Dawn Sacred Sword", and at the same time that it stopped the "Dawn Sacred Sword", it suddenly changed into countless blood-colored threads and flew into the ranks of the Sanctuary Knights.
"The other party really has a vampire to help, and it will act according to the original plan!" Bishop Simpson, who saw that his magic was blocked and was counterattacked, did not have any surprised expression on his face.
After hearing Bishop Simpson's words, all the Templars and Probationary Priests, under the guidance of Pastor Gonzalez, read the prayer. Gonzalez stretched out his hands, he read the prayer differently from everyone, only to see two magic enchantments appear on Gonzalez's palms, and the magic enchantment became bigger and bigger in everyone's prayers, and soon covered the entire team below.
Jack and Crawford had already rushed out, and they were rushing towards the poorly equipped bandits.
This puzzled the rest of his teammates, as Jack and Crawford's team didn't have to rush up. Only a handful of Templar Knights led the noble guards and militia to rush out, and their role was to contain the bandits.
Eric, who remained in the procession, also recited the prayer along with everyone. Of course, Eric was just putting on a show, he didn't know much about magic. The blood-colored threads all fell on the magic barrier, and as a result, they dissipated into the air like steam.
When the well-armed bandits rushed to the front of the group, many of them suddenly threw away their weapons and grabbed them directly at the Imperial soldiers and the Templars with their hands.
With a look of disdain on their faces, the Imperial soldiers and the Templars pulled out a silver dagger from their bodies and stabbed at the outstretched claws.
That's right, not hands, but claws. When the robbers drop their weapons and reach out, Eric discovers that the robbers are all dressed as vampires.
