113 The Flame Knight
At one time, the Church of Light had two of the strongest knightly orders, the "Knights Templar" in the Holy See headquarters, and the "Sword of Heaven" in the House of Elendil.
In the inheritance of legendary professionals, the "Knights of Grace" is considered to be a relatively weak single combat power, but at the same time, it is also the most suitable professional for leading an army, and their unique aura blessing can produce an extremely beneficial increase for the army. This is the real reason why these two orders are able to rise above the others.
Now, however, the Sword of Heaven has vanished with the complete destruction of House Elendil, and the Knights Templar have suffered heavy losses here.
And the two former "knights of holy grace" have become enemies in this bloody battlefield.
The "hammer of judgment", which Flodin had been painstakingly planning for a long time, slammed down the "shield of bright thorns" that Dios had raised high.
The full force of the legendary professional's blow, but the opposite side is only a high-level professional, even if there is the "shield of light and thorns" to block, but the opposite side is also a powerful sacred weapon.
A trace of pain flashed in Flodin's eyes, he didn't know how this old friend had gotten to his current position, and what twists and turns he had experienced, but he could never bury the "Knights Templar" here, and he could never withdraw his full strength.
At this time, it was noon on July 15, and the moment the giant hammer was smashed, the pillar of fire just rose into the sky.
The "Hammer of Judgment" does not seem to destroy everything in front of it as devastatingly as imagined.
In the distance, the two-headed demon dragon from Purgatory was circling and roaring, and Dios, who had cultivated the strength of the "Purgatory Dragon Breath", happened to raise his shield high. And the legendary professional inheritance he inherited is called "Purgatory Barrier"!
The surging holy light seemed to be able to melt everything, and when the gray shield came into contact with it, it suddenly emitted the same holy light.
The gray color of the exterior has completely faded, revealing a pure white shield, and in the center of the square shield is a silver-inlaid white thorn wood pattern insignia.
This holy artifact of the Church of Light washed away its own disguise in the tide of holy light of confrontation, but was this enough to make up for the rank gap between the two sides?
What's more, the giant hammer in Flodin's hand is the same existence as the "Shield of Light Thorns".
But it's not over yet.
The fiery red patterns on Dios's body burst through his body, like chains of flame wrapped around him, tightly binding him in them. Dios looked up and roared as he seemed to be in pain, and the chains of flame on his body broke inch by inch, turning into small fiery snakes and burrowing into his body.
In the midst of his roar, a dragon's breath-like flame erupted from his mouth and penetrated the holy light, seemingly burning the holy light that seemed to solidify into substance.
The flame finally climbed above the shield.
From the corners of the corner, the white shield gradually burned and turned a crimson, like a burning wall of fire, like a flame barrier from purgatory!
All of this happened in a split second.
The huge "Hammer of Judgment" fell, the shield of light and thorns appeared, Dios roared in flames, the flame dragon breath burned the shield, and the "Purgatory Fortress" finally reappeared in the world!
A massive wall of fire burst open, blocking most of the warriors behind Dios.
The powerful "Hammer of Judgment" completely shattered this wall of fire, but it also exhausted all its strength.
The warriors who had left the protection of the flame barrier a little closer to the edge, as well as the remnants of Jonas's subordinates around them, were reduced to powder by the power of the Holy Light in an instant.
The surviving warriors stared at the emptiness around them in amazement, and when they came to their senses and looked at Dios again, they were already filled with admiration and gratitude.
Looking at the encirclement that had been breached, the shocked Flodin glanced at the pillar of fire in the distance, then at Dios on the other side, sighed, turned back to the horse's head and chased after his army.
Dios gasped heavily, the shield in his hand was no longer the original gray square shield, but a hideous shield with mottled notches, the flames had been extinguished, and the shield took on a black-red color like burnt ashes.
The original White Thorn Wood Pattern Badge had been burned into a twisted flame pattern, and he stroked the shield blankly, feeling that the energy in his body had changed dramatically.
Under the forging of the Hammer of Light, the "Purgatory Dragon Breath" in his body became even more refined, and just now, the impetuous flame magic that originally only relied on Allegri's input had completely penetrated his body. He volunteered to go to the front line, fought countless hard battles on the battlefield, fought bloody battles, fought to the death, and his strength was not only consolidated, but also had a breakthrough growth.
Finally, at this critical juncture of life and death, when Purgatory and the human world were reconnected, a powerful force poured in, and his own experience was enough, and he finally achieved a new breakthrough.
"Purgatory Barrier", Dios, officially promoted to the upper rank of the warrior.
The indomitable "Knights Templar" would take the initiative to retreat, and the strategizing Innedir naturally would not have thought that this would mean that the speed of the return of the Nacini army would be several days earlier.
However, he no longer needs to think about this.
Because, worse news is already here.
In the early morning of July 16, the Church troops, who had already formed an offensive position under Norman City, did not wait for the order to attack.
"If they attack with all their might, we won't be able to hold on to the sun," Kudran's army had already lost a third, and said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for your sharp arrows and ability to hunt down officers in the opposing army, we would have fallen yesterday." ”
"It's a pity that I'm still not strong enough," Illo sighed, trying to adjust the atmosphere, "Why haven't they attacked yet, are they basking in the stars?"
The sun had not yet risen, and a few remnant stars were scattered in the sky, and the opposing army's army had already lined up, but there was no action.
Inside the tent, several commanders and Innedil sat solemnly, listening to the messenger's report.
"They've taken the 'Path of the Lighthopper?'" Innedil asked sharply, unable to maintain that warm smile any longer.
"Yes, my lord, the entrances and exits at both ends have been preempted, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we cannot take it back. The messenger said respectfully.
"Easy to defend and easy to attack, but easy to capture?, a bunch of waste," Inedir snorted coldly, finally calming down and asked, "Who did it, the white dwarf or the ogre?"
"It's not a ......," the messenger's voice trembled a little, and there was a little horror in his eyes, "It's the Fire Knight." ”
The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became solemn, and the famous and murderous name of the "Flame Demon Knight" was well known to the commanders present, and the only question now was-
"Which side are they?" asked the serious-looking Duke of Tulip.
"They're under the banner of the former Duchy of Anlan......," the courier thought, "and there's also a Legendary Class in the Order who can unleash fire spells, but also has very powerful melee martial arts. ”
"The legendary professional in the Fire Demon Knight's Throne can only be ......" Inedil and Duke "Tulip" glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Lord Priest," Duke "Tulip" pondered his words and said tentatively, "Norman City is difficult to take, do you think we should retreat now?" The commanders in the military tent all nodded in agreement.
"Retreat, we can't retreat!" Innedil shook his head and cut the railroad to the forefront, he regained his calm smile, but the military order was extremely resolute, "Order the whole army, immediately pull out the camp, bypass Norman City and march north, the destination - Vanuna!"
Duke "Tulip", who proposed the "retreat", was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.
He proposed to retreat because it was impossible to do anything to return to the second group of troops of the church.
However, Inedil's idea was even more decisive, and the "Path of the Lightwalker" under the guard of the "Fire Demon Knight" had almost no possibility of regaining it. In this case, even if the entire "Holy Blood River Theater of Operations" is captured, it can only become another isolated area outside of Vanuna. By the time Nacini defeated Jonas, he would be free to deal with them slowly, and since the "Path of the Lightseeker" had been blocked, they couldn't even retreat.
Therefore, Inedir abandoned the other troops that were still in the River of Blood, and marched directly to Vanuna, advancing to be able to flank Nacini on both sides, and returning to one place where he could join forces with Vanuna, so as to form a local superiority in forces, so as not to be broken by each one.
It is commendable that Inedil can immediately think of such a deep level in such an embarrassing situation, and does not hesitate to abandon the tens of thousands of elite soldiers behind him, which is simply a natural commander.
"They really left without attacking," Illo asked, turning to General Kudran, "it can't be a trick, right?"
"Is that necessary?" Kudran also breathed a sigh of relief, and spread his hands with a wry smile, "I wonder what the reason is, they have abandoned the low-hanging Norman City, and the direction of the march is Vanuna. ”
"Is that because of the pillar of fire?" said Althea.
"Perhaps. Kudran replied casually, but it was clearly not the case with his expression. He turned around and instructed his men to send a message to Nacini to inform Innedir's army of the northward march as soon as possible.
"Don't guess, the reason has already come......" Illo, who was beside him, suddenly looked at the southern horizon and said softly.
On the gentle horizon, a large flag slowly appeared, shaped like the "green maple leaf" of the Duchy of Anlan, but it changed from a lush green to a dull black and red, surrounded by flames and ashes.
The knight holding the flag was dressed in heavy black armor inlaid with fiery red demon patterns, and his figure was tall and heavy. Under his crotch was a red-eyed giant horse of different species, like an ancient beast, with four hooves swirling with fire and smoke.
A faint cloud of smoke gathered, and one after another majestic knights in the same attire appeared beside him, silent and calm. This is the flame spirit under the Flame Monarch's tent, and everything that passes is dusty.
This is Onesha's "Fire Demon Knight".
