209 Veil of Light

As two legendary figures who changed the direction of history, the "Twins of Light and Darkness" who stood at the forefront of the times, the two major rulers of the Church of Light, are naturally the top priority of later generations of scholars.

One of the most discussed hot topics is the comparison of the military talents of Innedir and Silves. Perhaps due to the very different ways in which the "Lord of Shadows" and the "Lord of the Pale" influence, the marching and commanding styles of the two men are also very different, with their own personal styles.

Innedir, the "Servant of Light", prefers to keep the army firmly in his own hands, and even spends most of his time in the army. The location of the headquarters of the "Forces nouvelles" of the Holy See was found, that is, the physical location of Inedil was found. When marching, he did everything himself, and the military deployment he issued was meticulous and thorough, even to the point of leakage. This also made his subordinates develop the habit of being serious and cautious and strictly implementing military orders, but they inevitably followed the rules and did not know how to be flexible.

Silves's whereabouts are even more secretive, he often quietly disappears into the shadows of darkness after he has given the strategic plan of the army, and even quietly returns to the army until the eve of the battle. The group of generals represented by Lovito under his command are good at independent operations and have outstanding command ability. But sometimes, the communication between superiors and subordinates is not smooth, and even makes people suspect that his subordinates are suspected of supporting the army and respecting themselves.

But between the two diametrically opposed people, there is also one thing in common. Due to his in-depth study of the Divine Arts, and the guidance of the Pale Lord, the "Light Servant" Inedil is very proficient in the use of divine magic in warfare. Whether it's the teleportation technique in the Victory Day Celebration, the raid on Norman City in the "Path of the Lightlifter", or the "Lightcast Hammer" during the recent war against the Duchy of Anlan, his use of magic is superb. This also makes his military plans often full of unbridled imagination, and repeated surprise attacks catch people off guard.

However, Silves's performance in the "Tide of Shadows" offensive. It is not far behind, and even overrides the strategic innovation at the tactical level.

Northeast of the Holy Duchy of Iain, the city of Leajć.

Infedir itself possesses an extremely powerful single-point breakthrough ability such as the "Lightcast Hammer", and is well aware of the weaknesses of the single-layer defense. Therefore, in the intersection of the Holy See of Light and the Inquisition, he formed a complete and three-dimensional defense network with several layers of cities and fortresses, so as to have enough tactical depth to guard against the opponent's breakthrough.

The city of Leajć. It is one of the pivotal cities of this three-dimensional defensive line, the strong walls make it difficult to break, and the large garrison in the city can effectively support other nearby fortresses that are under attack. However, this arrangement also made the judgment crusaders on the opposite side feel extremely tricky.

Dozens of miles across the city was a simple line of defense constructed by the Crusaders. The Inquisition also had to deal with attacks by the first-line demon legions in Tyrapest, so the number of troops that could be mobilized here was limited. The Bright Sect relies on the defense line on the one hand, and has an absolute superiority in the number of troops, which can be called peace of mind.

This mentality is also the general psychology of the officers and men in the Holy See army, so in the past few days, the Inquisition hunting team has stepped up the encirclement and suppression of scouts. They temporarily stopped scouting the Crusader lines. After all, as long as you can firmly hold the line of defense, you don't have to worry about any intrigues and tricks of the other party.

What they didn't know was that not far behind the enemy's lines, the Judgment Crusaders were fully armed, and the countless blades hidden in the shadows were already hungry and thirsty.

In the trial of the Crusader Tent, Lovito, the deputy chief judge of the provisional commander of the Chinese army, was drafting the most obscure military orders on the side table. It was late at night. A large candle of butter was lit in the tent, and a light breeze blew through it. The trembling candle flame splashed a shadow. The handsome and upright Lovito looked at the pen in his hand in a daze, and it took a long time to react, smile and shake his head, before continuing to write at the desk.

"What do you want, so happy?" suddenly came a calm inquiry from the main seat, the voice familiar to him. He hurriedly looked sideways, above the main seat. A faint shadow swelled and distorted, like a puff of light smoke, and Silves's thin figure gradually appeared in it.

"Grand Inquisitor, are you here?" said Lovito, who hurriedly stood up and saluted, and seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief in his tone.

"Not necessarily. Silves waved his hand casually. Lean back in your chair and close your eyes. Such a long journey, even if he has reached the legendary realm, he feels a little unbearable.

"Why, you seem to be a lot more relaxed?" asked Silves, lightly.

"With the love of my lords, let me take charge of an army alone, such a great responsibility, it makes me feel like I am on the edge of the abyss, like walking on thin ice...... Now that the adults have returned, I don't have to be so nervous. Loveto confessed.

Silves couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said, "Loveto, don't be nervous, you will command more troops in the future, and even have the strength to sweep this continent, at that time, you can't be nervous anymore." ”

"Lovito would like to follow in the footsteps of your lords. Lovito bowed slightly, and said with a solemn face.

"I know," said Silves, as an imperceptible shadow flashed over Silves, who muttered for a moment and commanded in a low voice, "I have something to attend to, and you will then act according to the established strategy." ”

"I respect the orders of my lord," Lovito nodded a little disappointedly, still hesitating, "However, the matter of the Leajci gate mentioned in the plan ......"

"Don't worry," Silves stood up, skimming over the tent like a gust ......of wind, and the curtain lifted slightly, leaving Lovito alone in the tent.

Only the slight warmth on his shoulders was left, and a word of comfort, "Don't worry, I will do it myself." ”

The mouth of the Green River Valley, twenty miles west.

It's business as usual here. The continuous mountains are still the same, the slopes with the grass half yellow are still the same, and the post road between the mountains and the slopes is the same as in the past, and there are few people.

However, the most favorable position for ambush on the hillside suddenly came a faint inquiry,

"The opposing army, how far are we from us?"

"I would like to inform Your Excellency the Archbishop, the news that just came three minutes ago is that the Anlan reinforcements are ten miles away from here, and the number is about eight thousand, and they are marching in a rapid formation. Another deferential voice came from beside him. It was still empty, like the air was oscillating and making a sound.

"Secret order the whole army, prepare for the attack. Innedir's gentle command was heard, but there was still no trace of anyone in the place where the voice was.

If you have a pair of eyes that can see through light and shadow, you can really see what is happening here. On this slope, the pope carved in jade stands quietly, like a statue. His eyes were tightly closed, and one after another majestic light energy energy was converging in a steady stream to support the divine release of Innedir beside him.

In the hands of the white-robed bishop, a huge curtain of light and shadow rose from the sky to the ground. This huge curtain that covered everything behind it looked like nothing unusual from the outside, and the scene of the mountains and territories behind it was the same as usual, but the slight sound from there showed that this light curtain would definitely not be as simple as it looked.

This is the "Light Servant" Innedir, a high-level divine art newly researched. These divine techniques excavated by Innedir, such as the "Path of the Lightwalker" and the "Gate of Light", were of great tactical importance in warfare, and were later known as the "War Magic" system. This "curtain of light" that can blind people's vision is one of the magic techniques of war that has been repeatedly used in ambushes.

Under the influence of the complex magical structure, Innedir's super control over light and shadow caused the scene behind them to be copied and refracted against. This "curtain of light", when viewed from a distance from the outside, is unusual. Even with the visual power of the elves, they need to be carefully discerned for a while on the premise of being told that there is something wrong here. It was in the area behind the "Veil of Light" that the unsheathed ambush soldiers of their swords quietly awaited the arrival of their prey.

In contrast to the Path of the Lightwalker and the Gate of Light, the Veil of Light does not require a priest to form a Divine Circle to unleash it, and Inedil can maintain it with the help of the Stone Pope. This also allowed him to take the time to turn around and glance into the distance, the huge "Lightcast Hammer" was still quietly suspended in mid-air, exuding a powerful power, maintaining the shock of the Anlan defenders in the Green River Valley.

Inedil shook his head secretly, these cowardly guys, they just let out a cruel word, and they transferred back to the defenders of the Liujin Trade Road as they wished, and they simply cooperated tacitly to the extreme. However, they must not know that this powerful war magic can be unleashed without any scruples as they imagined. After the limit of three times is released, the "Stone Pope" must return to Gothia's Cathedral to recharge, and even these three times must be intervaled and require the assistance of Innerdir and the priesthood. However, it was only the previous two releases that the "Stone Pope" had become a nightmare existence in the hearts of the Anlan soldiers and civilians, and the reaction of the defenders of the Green River Valley at this time was the best proof of this.

But how could he be willing to use such a precious magic spell on those fools? That was reserved for Allegri's evil mage.

It seems that, as the Mentor said, the Light and Shadow Divine Technique does have an unparalleled advantage in deceiving the eyes of humans. Just like the "Veil of Light" that he is releasing himself, and the "Hammer of Light" that he forged.

Inedil smiled, mixed with excitement and a hint of disdain.

"How stupid," he snorted, "and a simple illusion can scare them like this?" (to be continued......)
