Chapter 020 (Skeleton Army Siege).
"The souls that wander in the world and the dead who wander in the human realm return to the land of the dead according to the principles of nature. Pastor Martin sang aloud, "Confusion and confusion, hatred and sorrow, will disappear in the path of light!"
When the divine incantation was finished, a very dazzling white light suddenly appeared out of thin air at the other end of the alley, and I saw the skeleton mage wearing a gray-robed cloak forcibly sucked into the beam of light by the powerful vortex. In the blink of an eye, the skeleton mage vanished along with the beam. The skeleton mage went to the abyss of hell where he was supposed to go.
After eliminating the skeleton mage, Priest Martin turned and chased after Brant ahead of him towards the southern wall. Beyond the walls, there are more undead creatures waiting for him to judge and judge with the power of light.
The Holy See never participates in the struggle between noble lords over worldly power, but as the embodiment of the Father's light in the mortal world, it is the duty of all clergy to purge evil undead creatures. They could not tolerate these dark creatures wreaking havoc on this land of light.
Light and darkness can be described as day and night, light and darkness can also be described as heaven and hell, and light and darkness have been contrary to each other since ancient times, and justice and evil are incompatible.
At this moment, in the Church of Cassk, Father Morris and fifty heavily armed Templars are praying their pre-battle prayers under the solemn statue of the Father of God.
The head of the Holy See is the Pope, and the members of the College of Cardinals have the right to elect or be elected as the Pope. Cardinals are divided into three levels: cardinals, cardinals, and cardinals.
Cardinal priest. For thousands of years, only men were allowed to hold this position. And they are not allowed to marry for the rest of their lives. A priest is usually the head of a church. In addition to presiding over Mass and weddings, priests are also responsible for their weddings. It is also the duty of a priest to pray for the dying, confess, and exorcise demons.
"Heavenly Father, be gracious to me, your Spirit resides in me, cleanse me with the fire of the Holy Spirit, and burn away a sinful disposition and stain from me. By your grace and the cleansing of the Holy Spirit, I may be made clean before you. Heavenly Father, lend me strength by being with me with the Holy Spirit. Renew my spirit, change my heart and mind, teach me, help me, strengthen my faith through your Holy Spirit, strengthen my will, strengthen my will to suffer for the removal of sin, work in me by your Holy Spirit, and make every word of your word carry your power. ”
"In the battle against the dead, by your grace. Your Word, Your Holy Spirit's help. Give me faith, strong will, and determination to overcome the temptations of sin, temptation, and the wiles of the devil, and make me an overcomer by your victorious power and authority, glorifying your name, witnessing you, and blessing me before you, just as the Lord Jesus Christ has won. ”
After the prayer, Father Maurice, dressed in red robes, led the Templars guarding the church out of the church and rode towards the south gate.
The Knights Templar is a military organization formed by the Holy See to protect the clergy and drive out evil forces, and has been developed for thousands of years.
The Knights Templar was one of the three famous Knights of Viallas, whose members were called "Templars" and featured white robes painted with red crosses. They are the most combative of all the Knights. The slogan of the Knights Templar was: "The will of the Father!"
The Holy See is guarded by a varying number of Templars in every church in towns and cities across the continent, and there are more than 3,000 Templars in the entire Canian Federation. The Holy See's Templar Order has the largest number of knights in the entire continent of Vialas.
On the city wall, hundreds of skeleton warriors and knights of the Glory Knights battled together, and the mighty and domineering Captain Luke swung the Thor warhammer in his hand to smash the skeleton warriors in front of him.
Every time a skeleton warrior falls, another skeleton warrior will immediately make up for it, and these skeleton warriors are not afraid to kill the enemy, and some skeleton warriors with shields even know how to use shields to protect themselves. These shield skeletons are a bit more advanced, and they have a lower intelligence.
A skeleton's IQ is determined by the energy and magic of the wizard who summoned it. Theoretically, the same mana cost can summon a cunning and clever skeleton or a legion of skeletons with a low IQ of several hundred people.
Compared to other mindless walking corpses and undead creatures such as ghouls who prefer to hunt in groups, skeletons are significantly more advanced, as they can be organized into armies and know how to work as a team. As long as the necromancer consumes a little more energy, the skeleton will have enough IQ to use the shield to protect itself and its companions. They aren't as numerous as the average skeleton warrior, but they're pretty powerful.
And some high-IQ skeleton mages specialize in using summoning magic to supplement the needs of the undead army. Joining summoners in this hybrid undead army allows them to become an army with powerful regeneration and respawn abilities, and to follow their masters.
The skeleton mage under the city walls used summoning magic to summon one skeleton warrior after another from the ground, only to see caverns appear on the flat ground, and the skeleton warriors continued to crawl out of these caverns.
The undead skeletons are a cancer on the continent of Vialas, and for the time being, no one dares to question their existence and their vow to resolutely eradicate them.
The heroic Knight Henry kept swinging the giant axe in his hand, only to see that one by one the skeleton warriors were cut off by him either their heads fell to the ground, or they were missing limbs and legs, but his body was also cut by the brave fighting style of these skeleton warriors, regardless of life and death.
Sir Bob and Sir Randy stood guard on the left and right of Lord Leon Belmont, and dozens of skeleton warriors surrounded them on the stone staircase in the right corner of the wall. The short and sturdy Sir Lyon's body became as hard as the bones of an angry lion, and now he fought back ferociously against the enemy in front of him like a besieged lion.
Baron Kane and the Rand Knight led the soldiers to hold on to the stone staircase of the city wall on the left, and the skeleton warriors who climbed the wall frantically rushed to them. The skeletal warriors slammed the brass and iron in their hands at the humans in front of them, several of the taller skeleton warriors at the forefront of the battle with rusty tomahawks.
Beneath the walls, a group of ugly and hideous ghouls crawled out of the cave and climbed up the ladder under the walls, smelling the blood and the humans on the walls were their delicacy.
Although the ghoul is born ugly, it is not a particularly dangerous monster. It is cruel and somewhat treacherous, resembling a fanged man-eating troll.
Ghouls are monstrous undead humans that smell of rotting corpses. In addition to carrion, they also catch and devour unalert living creatures. They can paralyze their prey by contact, only the elves are immune, and their close relatives are even more terrifying, and the elves are not immune to their paralyzing attacks.
Necromancers can use corpses to create skeleton warriors, and ghouls can devour corpses to quickly regenerate health.
Ghouls are a type of transformation demon that lives in the desert and can transform into animals, especially scavenging hyenas. They are evil and rebellious undead creatures who live mainly in the desert. Sometimes they also wander graves, wilderness, or places where people have just died, raiding cemeteries, feeding on the flesh of the dead or young children, and luring travelers into desert wastelands to kill and devour. Therefore, when civilization was not civilized, even the bravest knights did not dare to spend the night in the wilderness after nightfall, believing that after nightfall there would be ghouls looking for and killing humans.
In wizarding families, ghouls are often the talk of the town and even become the family's pet.
A rancid smell spread across the walls, and more than a dozen ghouls climbed the walls, turning into fat hyenas and baring their sharp fangs towards the humans in front of them.
Suddenly, the painful wails of the soldiers came from the city wall. The tall and handsome Rhaegar clenched the knight's sword in his hand and stabbed at the hyena that lunged at him, the sharp sword piercing the hyena's body, and a cloud of jet-black blood gushed out of its body.
At that moment, a sharp ice spike galloped and pinned a hyena to the wall that was flying after the Rhaegar Knight. The breathless hyena struggled to break free, and Knight Rhaegar turned around and swept away with a sword, cutting off the hyena's head.
Armed with a flaming sword, Brant ascended the wall to fight alongside the Rhaegar Knights, with the skeleton warriors and ghouls taking over most of the walls, charging towards the stone stairs leading to the city on the left and right sides of the wall's walkway. As long as these undead creatures rushed under the city gate and opened the gate, the battle was equal to a winner.
Seeing this, Brant hurriedly cast a spell and used the doppelganger technique to transform into ten doppelgangers, which was already his limit. At the same time, he injected the magic power in his body into these clones separately, so that the strength of these clones was strengthened and he was able to use some simple spells. Brandt drove his doppelgangers to support Baron Kane on the left side of the wall and Sir Lyon on the right side of the wall.
At this time, the Templars led by the white-robed Pastor Martin and the red-robed Father Morris had also arrived at the city gates. (To be continued......)
