Chapter 656: The Fierce Silver Knight
Based on a brief battle meeting convened by Samuel, Hobert learned of the real situation on the battlefield of Amanda Pass.
It was not at all like the newspaper reports said that there were winners and losers, but the Visak Empire, which had been prepared so far, still had the upper hand.
Without the large quantities of supplies and soldiers that the Teleportation Array had delivered to the front line, most of the defensive line would have been lost.
The main reason is that the Ministry of Defense has misjudged the consumption of ammunition in modern warfare, and at the very beginning of the war, the ammunition reserves were quickly exhausted, and the arsenal produced day and night for more than a month before finally meeting the needs of the battlefield and finally holding the front.
The reason why the war is slowing down a little at present is that the military of the Vsak Empire has also misjudged the consumption of ammunition, and their preliminary preparations are basically exhausted.
Hobert guessed that there should be an extraordinary factor in this, and the upper echelons of the Vorsack Empire got the key information from him to sabotage George III's godhood, so there was no need for the front line to fight so fiercely.
However, the upper echelons of the Fersak Empire should also have other concerns, such as what if they failed to prevent George III from becoming a god?
So the war is still going on, otherwise the Fursak army can wait a little longer, and wait for the severe cold to further deplete the combat power of the Rune soldiers, and they can launch a new offensive in the coldest season!
And the extraordinary war has entered the white heat from the beginning, and the war between the Church of the Night Goddess and the Church of the God of War is even more fierce than the extraordinary war between the two militaries.
Take the Night Church as an example, a large number of Night Watch team members and "Red Glove" team members can get the opportunity to be promoted immediately as long as they basically digest the potion when their merit is not enough.
Hobert learned from the small talk between him and Bin just now that in the battle for the Amanda Mountains, the Church of the Night Goddess had killed more than a dozen demigod-level extraordinary beings alone.
At this time, it can be seen that the essence of the Orthodox Church, as long as the characteristics of the demigod are recovered, he will die in the morning, and in the afternoon, there will be a corresponding sequence 5 to complete the promotion and become a new demigod.
In this battle, both sides won and lost each other, and some of the extraordinary characteristics were taken away from each other.
Because the Extraordinaries of the two Churches can be interchanged, several "Demon Hunters" and "Silver Knights" appeared in the Church of the Night Goddess, and several "Night Watchmen" and "Fear Bishops" appeared in the Church of the God of War.
As for what is being discussed at the present meeting, the battle to the next day will be another great and extraordinary war between the two sides.
At present, the Church of the God of War has occupied the northern foothills of the Amanda Mountains, and even the Church of Tranquility in the southern foothills of the mountains has been attacked by them.
In tomorrow's battle, the Church of the Night will try to retake the middle of the northern foothills of the Amanda Mountains, and if the purpose of the war is achieved, it will be difficult for the enemy to attack the Church of Tranquility.
The task of Hobert and the others is to cover the main battlefield on the west side of the battlefield, and Samuel and the others guess that the angels of the Church of the Eternal Sun should also cover in this direction.
Whether it is a confrontation or a battle, it depends on the actual situation, as long as you don't let the angels from this direction join the battle on the main battlefield.
Regardless of the outcome of the home battle, there is a high probability that the people of the God of War Church will retreat from this direction.
When their main force retreats here, Hobert and the others can withdraw from the battlefield after the mission is completed.
Of course, it is also possible that there is an angel from the God of War Church here, if that is the case, there is a high probability that the other party will not make a move, and it will eventually develop into a confrontation.
The Church of the Night Goddess is jealous of the angels of the Eternal Sun Church who suddenly joined the war, and the Church of the God of War must also be very jealous of the angels of the "founder" forces who suddenly joined the war.
At the battle meeting, Hobert reiterated his request to give him three seconds notice if an angel was needed.
This time, he enlists the help of the messenger Beverly, and it takes time to summon and use the "Wood of Order" to restore his state.
The reason why Beverly was asked to help, instead of using the spiritual remnants of the "1-113" Solomon family badge to create an angel to participate in the war, is because the angels created have limited sanity and have to fight once they leave the "Land of Disorder".
Originally, the angels of the Eternal Sun Church didn't plan to do anything, and the angels who "served" the "founder" went up to give people two big pockets, so congratulations to the "founder" for gaining an opponent of the Orthodox Church.
For now, this is not something that Hobart would like to see, after all, working with the Church of the Eternal Sun in the Republic of Antis is a pleasure.
Many followers of the Church of the Eternal Sun see the electric light as a blessing from the gods, and the electric light business has encountered little resistance.
In addition, Hobert's statement at the meeting was that if Beverly or the demigods captured it, it would be their spoils and would not have to be handed over to the Church of the Night.
This was also approved by Samuel, who officially ordered Bin to serve as a liaison and receptionist, and also to follow Hobart and others into battle.
However, the command of the battle was in the hands of Hobert.
After a brief combat meeting, Hobart returned to the reception under the leadership of Bing, and Hobart relayed the combat mission to Lawrence and the others.
Although it sounds like the battle is not very risky, Hobart still took out a few high-level charms of the "Thief" path: "These are 'deception' charms and 'deprivation' charms, even if they are used against angels, they have a certain effect.
"You each pick one, just in case."
The guests who came with him looked at the black crystal-like charm, and suddenly felt that the "founder" was very rich.
He wasn't envious, after all, the Orthodox Church had a rich accumulation of seals, and during the current war, an extraordinary person of Bin's level could hold a level 1 seal for a long time.
It's just that in his concept, a new type of organization like the "founder's" force, or simply a stealth organization, should be relatively lacking in level 1 seals or high-level charms.
And Hobert took out six or seven high-level charms in one fell swoop, which surprised him a little.
After everyone had chosen the charms, Hobert gave a general explanation of the precautions.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about, there are only two, the first is: after the war between the angels starts, they can run as far as they can.
The Church of the Eternal Sun also had several demigod-level extraordinaires, and the target of Hobart and the others was them.
The second precaution is to exercise restraint and try not to be the first to do it.
After a brief battle meeting, Hobert talked about the interior of the Chapel, which was not a secret, and the guests on the side would give some details.
This topic was of great interest to Lawrence and the others, after all, it was the headquarters of a Orthodox Church.
After dinner and a little more poker, Hobart and the others went back to their rooms to rest.
The night in Yorktown was exceptionally peaceful, and even the demigods such as Hobert, who had not slept much, fell asleep quickly, and did not wake up until five or six o'clock in the morning the next day.
It was the most enjoyable sleep Hobert had in half a year.
After breakfast, they braved the cold wind and came to the designated battle position early.
Some extraordinary people below the demigod level have also arrived at the battlefield one after another, but they are all far away from Hobert, and if the enemy also has extraordinary people below the demigod level participating in the battle, they will also follow to participate in the battle.
Hobert and the others were at the top of a small mountain, from which they could see many snow-capped mountains around them, and they could also see the main battlefield in the distance.
The weather today is not very good, there is no sun, it is like there is going to be a snowfall.
The wind howled over the snow-capped mountains and kicked up a lot of snowflakes, as if it had already begun to snow in those areas.
Hobert and the others sighed with a hot breath, fortunately, the general cold didn't feel anything to them, if it was an ordinary person in their current position, it wouldn't be long before they would definitely get frostbitten.
At about nine o'clock, the colors of dusk and night appeared under the clouds in the direction of the main battlefield, and the battle over there had already begun.
At this time, Hobert's spirit noticed that there was a very oppressive force in the distance coming towards this side, and it should be the angel they were trying to stop.
So Hobert immediately pronounced the incantation in the ancient Hermetic language: "Messenger! ”
The space next to him became illusory, and a quaint coffin floated out of the spirit world, and in the blink of an eye, the coffin appeared directly in front of the surging force.
Immediately after, on another mountain, the "Wood of Order" rose from the ground and quickly spread for hundreds of kilometers in the surrounding area.
The oppressive force stopped, and the confrontation between the angels began.
Hobert and the others also began to act to intercept the demigods coming from afar.
But for some reason, Hobert's heart skipped a double beat, and he had a bad premonition.
He was a little uneasy, so he glanced at Lawrence, handed over command of the place to him temporarily, and then quickly came to the trunk of the "Wood of Order" with "Twist".
Arriving here, Hobert happened to hear a conversation between the two angels.
Not far from the trunk of the "Wood of Order", a man with a height of nearly three meters, wearing a thick fur coat and blond hair, suddenly burst into rage: "Beverly! I knew you weren't dead! ”
Beverly had already come out of the coffin at this time, and her tone was a little puzzled: "Are you?" Who is it? ”
The sturdy man said, "I am Leonid!" You didn't expect it, I didn't die, and I became the high priest of the God of War Church. ”
When Hobart heard this, he said to himself, "Oh no, they seem to know each other, and listening to the tone of this high priest, it seems that he has some vendetta with Beverly."
Beverly was still a little dazed: "We know each other? ”
Leonid sneered: "You killed my parents, and almost beat me to death, you say we don't know each other." ”
"That was more than a thousand years ago!" Beverly smiled helplessly: "You're all angels, do you still care about this?" ”
Hobart had spoken to him before, and this time it was mainly a confrontation and tried not to fight.
"You can not care!" Leonid said coldly: "But I rely on hatred to maintain my humanity!" ”
Beverly said with a serious face: "You must have made a mistake!"
"In the Quaternary Age, the Tudor Empire rarely clashed with the Church of the God of War, and I don't remember meeting an enemy of the Church of War who fought together with a family of three.
"Maybe your family was killed by someone else."
This is intended not to be recognized.
However, Hobert, who was hiding in the distance, nodded again and again, and the "lawyer" saw the same thing.
"That's because, at that time, our family was the viscount of the Trenthorst Empire, and because of the belief in the God of War, we got the potion formula for this path!" Leonid's voice was no longer so cold, but it was a little excited.
This time it was Hobert's turn to smile helplessly, and the change in the other party's mood meant that the other party had changed from surprise and hatred at the beginning to the excitement of revenge now.
Beverly also raised her vigilance: "At that time, it was normal for the four Empire's viscount-level nobles to disappear in a battle. ”
A silver-white sword appeared in Leonid's hand: "You're right, then please go to the underworld and explain it to my parents." ”
With that, Leonid stabbed Beverly with a sword.
Beverly immediately took out a "Wood of Order" from her coffin to block the opponent's attack.
He knew very well that the silver sword in his hand could pierce all the extraordinary abilities of the same sequence or below.
This is the most troublesome part of the "warrior" path, if Beverly uses "twist" to twist Leonid's attack in another direction, Leonid's sword in his hand can completely "pierce" Beverly's "twist", and the attack of the high priest of the God of War Church will not be affected in any way.
Hobert, who was far away on the battlefield, saw that Beverly's hand-to-hand combat that she had trained on the battlefield was also very powerful, and she completely blocked the attack of one of Leonid's "warriors" with a single "Wood of Order".
While fighting Leonid head-on, Beverly can also use abilities such as "tampering" and "exploiting" to evade his silver sword and attack Leonid himself.
It's just that it's twilight around Leonid, and Beverly's extraordinary attacks don't have much effect.
Hobert couldn't help here, and he realized that there must be a fight on the other side, so he quickly returned to the demigod battlefield.
The "Demon Hunter" and "Silver Knight" of the God of War Church, who originally supported the main battlefield from this direction, began to smoke, and they also knew that the opposite side was foreign aid invited by the Night Goddess Church, and they should not be able to fight until there was a clear order from above.
But what they didn't expect was that after just two puffs, their spirituality sensed that the two angels facing each other over there actually fought!
This caught the demigods on both sides a little off guard, but after all, they were very experienced in combat, and in the next second, they immediately entered the battle state.
The "witchers" drew their swords, and the "fallen counts" began to create large areas to distract their opponents.
A silver-white light appeared around the "Silver Knight", and a huge "Sword of Dawn" appeared in his hand.
The "Sword of Dawn" at this level is so sharp that it can even tear through a mound.
Lawrence used the ability to "use" one of the "Silver Knights", and the "Sword of Dawn", which could have been used for a long time, could only last for a minute.
Hobart rushed back just in time to contain the other "Silver Knight".
So the melee between the demigods of the two sides broke out completely!
The "Silver Knight" in front of Hobart suddenly turned into a puddle of silver metallic liquid, and his speed became very fast, and he came to Hobert's feet in the blink of an eye.
Hobert hurriedly used the ability to "tamper" with the state of the "silver molten metal", making it appear to show signs of condensation, thus slowing down the speed of the "Silver Knight".
Hobert then used his ability to distort space and retreated backwards for a distance before defusing the opponent's attack.
"Warriors" tend to excel at the most direct attacks, so it may seem like their attacks are a bit reckless, but that's actually how they fight.
This was a departure from the enemies Hobert had encountered before, so he was somewhat scrambled at first.
But Hobart reacted quickly, and since the opponent was seeking to melee with him, he just distanced himself from the opponent.
The "Silver Molten Metal" also has the property of being able to resist extraordinary attacks, and the state that seems to be condensed quickly disappears, and he continues to pursue Hobart after returning to normal.
At this time, Hobert used the power of "twisting" space to constantly dodge the opponent's attacks.
At the same time, he drew the thin sword hidden in his staff and established a connection with the underworld, since it was not very useful to directly attack the "liquid", so he was ready to try to attack the opponent's spirit.
At this moment, Lawrence over there suddenly shouted: "Be careful! ”
It turned out to be the "Silver Knight" he contained, and the "Sword of Dawn" in his hand exploded, forming a "Storm of Light" composed of light spots!
Lawrence's "chaotic" and "distorted" abilities were torn apart by the "Storm of Light", and those spots of light instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, attacking all enemy demigods.
Fortunately, although there is no way to "distort" the "Storm of Light", it is possible to "tamper" with and "distort" the surrounding environment or space, and there is no danger in dodging the attack of the "Storm of Light".
Thundered~
The violent "Storm of Light" smashed into the mountain, causing a violent explosion that blew up many huge craters in the mountain.
At the same time, Hobert and Lawrence also have some corresponding understanding of the abilities of the "Silver Knight".
The two of them glanced at each other from a distance, and both understood how to deal with such an opponent.
Hobart immediately "tampered with" the temperature around the "silver molten metal", making it even colder there.
Immediately he "magnified" his "tampering", so that the local temperature reached minus thirty or forty degrees, and a layer of hoarfrost immediately appeared on Hobert's hair and eyebrows.
The "Silver Molten Metal" did slow down accordingly, and then the "Silver Knight" noticed that the slowdown was continuous, and it was not like Hobert's previous "tampering", which was defused by him in less than a second.
This is because Hobert did not directly attack the opponent with his extraordinary ability, but changed the temperature around him, causing the opponent's liquid state to show signs of condensation.
So this time the "cryogenic offensive" can be continued.
The "Silver Knight" realized Hobart's intentions, and instead of continuing his pursuit, he fled in the other direction, hoping to get out of this slow state as soon as possible.
Hobart was waiting for this opportunity, and he immediately injected his spirituality into the "0-71" disaster porcelain puppet, using the frost ability of the angel level.
The "Silver Knight" in Sequence 3 has difficulty getting rid of the Cold Attack for a short period of time, and the speed of the "Silver Molten Metal" has become slower.
Hobart clenched the thin sword in his hand and opened his mouth towards the "silver molten metal", letting out a silent roar.
The "silver molten metal" outlines a face with a painful expression.
Hobert's attack on the "Words of the Dead" made the "Silver Knight" stiffen and stop in place.
The "Word of the Dead" is a direct attack on the spirit, which can bypass the "Silver Knight's" containment of extraordinary abilities to a certain extent and attack his spirit.
What followed was the coldness that belonged to the underworld, which made the opponent's actions completely stiff.
Of course, Hobert would not miss this opportunity, and while stepping forward to stab the other party with his thin sword, he threw out a charm in his other hand: "Deceive!" ”。
The spell like a black crystal turned into a complex occult symbol, covering the surface of the "silver molten metal" with a silvery white light, and a gap appeared.
Because the level of the spell is higher than that of the "Silver Knight", the spell has an effect.
The gap in the silver-white light indicates that the "Silver Knight" can ignore the ability of extraordinary attacks to a certain extent, and has been "deceived" for a short time.
At the same time, the thin sword in Hobert's hand stabbed the "silver molten metal", and then he used the ability to "amplify".
By the time the Silver Knight recovered from the states of Frost and Whisper of the Dead, he had been severely injured.
The "Silver Molten Metal" immediately changed back to its human form, and at this time, the temperature of the "Silver Knight's" body was extremely low, and its whole body was covered with a layer of white frost.
But a "silver rapier" immediately appeared in his hand, and he didn't care about his injuries at all, but stabbed a sword at Hobert, who was finally close.
Hobert hurriedly used "Twist" to distance himself from "Silver Knight" again, he didn't have the fighting skills that Beverly had honed from actual combat, so he wouldn't grapple with a "warrior".
The "Silver Knight" appeared in a gorgeous silver-white armor and rushed towards Hobert, and his speed was very fast, even if it was not in a "mercuryized" state.
The armor collided and tore with the surrounding air, creating a "hulahula" sound.
Even Hobert's "distortion" of space has been affected and affected by this.
Looking like a "silver knight" who had never been injured and had not been greatly affected by the extraordinary virus, Hobert sighed: It is indeed a "warrior"!
However, because the speed of the "Silver Knight" was still slower than just now, Hobart was more calm at this time, he sometimes "amplifized" the power of the extraordinary virus, and sometimes used the ability to "tamper" to make the air denser and hinder the charge of the "Silver Knight".
Just don't give the other party a chance to fight in close combat!
If it continues to drag on, the injuries of the previous Rapier will become more and more obvious, and it will reach the point that the "Silver Knight" cannot ignore it at all.
In addition, the extraordinary virus at the angel level will have an increasing impact on the "Silver Knight", and in the end, it is likely that he will be so coughing that he can't even hold the sword.
Hobert estimates that no matter how strong the "Silver Knight" is, he will be able to last up to 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes, he will definitely take advantage of the fact that he is still basically in good condition and immediately withdraw from the battlefield.
That's when Hobert attacked.
But after only a dozen seconds, Hobert's spirituality felt something, and the corner of his eye looked in the direction of the main battlefield, where the twilight was moving in this direction, and the night sky behind him also followed.
Hobart didn't expect the battle on the main battlefield to end so quickly.
Or is it ......
He looked in the direction of the trunk of the "Wood of Order" again, and he didn't know when, a fire had already burned there!
This made Hobert immediately realize that it was Beverly's younger brother, Raymond the Weather Warlock, who had joined the war.
Hobert twitched the corners of his mouth, it couldn't be that the main battlefield was moving this way, right?
