106 Hammer and Shield
As one of the three giants of the Church of Light, the strength of the "Knight of Holy Grace" Flording is enough to match his status, but his presence is very thin.
For a long time, the White Tower and the Inquisition were rife with power struggles and conflicts, and Flodin, caught in them, became almost a symbol of justice and silence, trying to remain impartial, but often backfired. Unable to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides, Flodin could only focus on the army under his command and not intervene too much.
But it is undeniable that Flording and his "Knights Templar" have always been the sharpest weapons in the hands of the Church, defending the infinite glory of the God of Light with endless bloody means.
That's what the church wants. All they needed was the hammer in Flodin's hand, not the inner thoughts of its owner.
But today, this model of knighthood, who has always been silent and receives orders and completes them efficiently, finally reveals his independent judgment.
"Retreat! Retreat!" he raised his hammer at the front of the line and ordered the knights of the Templar Order to gradually abandon the line.
The opponent's attack today was extremely fierce, and he didn't care about the casualties at all, that kind of crazy energy, it was like a god of war priest blessed every warrior with a bloodthirsty technique.
If it were possible, he would never be willing to make this decision, which was undignified and chivalrous. However, he could ignore the orders of the Holy See, but he could not watch the blood of the Knights Templar be completely drained.
Even if the army is excellent, after losing more than half of its veterans, it basically means that the army's spirit is gone, and it will take at least three years of experience to fully recover before it can cultivate the spirit of being a comrade. The Holy See could pay the price of the Knights Templar for the unification of the continent, but Flodin did not want this army to be destroyed in his own hands.
After a slight hesitation, for the first time in their history, the Knights Templar retreated under enemy attack, to put it mildly, a rout. But the situation on the battlefield, you advance and I retreat, and you move the whole body. Dios felt the loosening of the opponent's formation, and immediately led the army straight into the center of the opponent's defensive line, and was about to break through a little bit in one go.
Beside him, the most elite troops had already lost nearly half of them, but the damage to the Knights Templar was even greater. These believers of the god of war, the power that erupted in the bloody battle is terrifying, but it belongs to the god of destruction's battlefield blood dance. In unison, the soldiers of the entire vanguard army slaughtered the broken Flodin.
"Get up!" Frodin shouted, and a fierce golden light erupted from the huge war hammer, condensing into a light hammer of the same shape above his head, trembling slightly, and the light became more and more intense.
Dios, who was not far in front of him, looked stunned, and immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Disperse, disperse!"
The warriors near him turned around, only to find that Jonas's army had pinned down from both sides, trapping Dios's forward army with life after life, within a hundred meters of Flordin.
With the injection of golden light, the light hammer gradually expanded, and the texture and luster of the metal on the shape became more and more obvious. Above Flodin's head, the hammer of light rose to the ground, as if it was about to fall.
Obviously, Flording also recognized the role and special status of this elite unit led by Dios, and was ready to use the pincer of the fish belly force to exert the full strength of his legendary professional to deliver a devastating blow to the opponent before his own defense collapsed.
In the past, Frodin would never have agreed to such a ruse, so Dios didn't think of it at all. But at this moment, Flodin, who had an indifferent face, gradually gathered strength, and the giant hammer in his hand was slowly raised, and he was about to unleash the "Hammer of Judgment", one of the most powerful attacks of the "Holy Knights". Opposite him, the weakest part of Jonas's army surrounded Nacini's best troops, and Flodin made the most rebellious decision.
Under the pressure of the legendary professionals, the battle-hardened horses under the warriors also hesitated in a low voice, and these elite warriors, their faces also changed slightly, and they raised their weapons in a daze, but they didn't know how to resist such a divine power.
Only Dios knows how powerful this skill really bursts out, and I am afraid that these elite warriors drawn out of the entire army can only survive one in ten.
He sighed, took off the dusty square shield behind his back with a solemn face, and shouted loudly to issue a new military order, "Quick, all go behind my back!"
Before the words fell, he had already shouted, raised his shield and advanced instead of retreating, and went straight to meet him.
For the first time ever, the Hammer of Judgment confronts the Shield of Light and Thorns!
The "Sulphur Fountain" volcano, a little-known intermittent volcano, is the most common cone-shaped mountain, so it is not very difficult to climb. However, the mountain looks very short from a distance, and the closer you get to it, the more you feel the enormity of the mountain, but because of the aspect ratio, it is so distorted from a distance.
If you want to knock on the "Iron Door", you need to arrange a huge magic circle and a huge supply of magic power. Under Allegri's command, first of all, eight summoning arrays inlaid with the magic pattern of "Christo Ore" were buried in the eight directions around the top of the mountain, and Allegri began to draw magic arrays around the summoning array disk one by one.
The "Sulphur Fountain" volcano is still in its incubation period, and there is a strong smell of sulphur smoke rising from the cracks in the mountain, but there is almost no magma overflow, so there is no danger other than smoke and heat. It's just that the ground is scorching and trembling slightly, showing that its heart is not as calm as it seems.
In an open area on the side of the mountain, everyone gathered here except for Amosic, who flew into the sky, and Brook, who was Allegri's assistant.
Allegri had set up a magic circle to serve as a refuge for his group, and the heat and smoke were all cut off from the shut, enough to keep them safe. And as long as Amosic regained his strength, there was no need to worry about the Trial's pursuit.
Brooke, whose beard had been roasted and somewhat curly, followed Allegri, carefully distinguishing the various materials and handing them over. Allegri frowns around the summoning array and draws the mystical magic array, using a magical bond to connect the eight magic arrays together.
As for the simple matter of the magic power needed to drive the magic array, it was naturally left to Master Amosic to deal with.
After drawing the sixth magic circle, the fire-eyed crow flapped its wings and landed on Allegri's shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Allegri wondered.
"The Inquisition is really a bloody one," Amosic shook his head, "They drove tens of thousands of troops to explore the way, and they chased after them directly, and I am afraid that they will be able to catch up here in a day." ”
"So fast?" Allegri asked, frowning, "when is the right time to 'knock'?"
"Tomorrow afternoon, that's when this volcano is active again, and it can provide maximum magical support," Amosic said in a deep voice, his expression not optimistic, "so we will need to hold on for three to five hours before that moment comes." ”
"Under the assault of tens of thousands of troops and the entire Inquisition, support for hours......" Allegri sighed and muttered.
