215 Bright New Army
Violet Tower.
Herseus stood on the terrace, looking at the line in the distance. The originally red magic robe on his body was now burning with a faint flame, but it was falling one by one, like the flaming feathers that fell when the fire phoenix was nirvana.
"My lord, the 'Energy Furnace' has been activated and debugged. Brooke strode up to the top floor and bowed.
"Didn't Allegri say that the teacher's teacher should be called Shizu, you can call me that," Herseus shook his head helplessly, did not turn around, and continued to ask, "Is the reserve of magic crystals still sufficient?"
"Yes, division...... Now that there are enough magic crystals in the tower, and I have three of the most serious apprentices in charge of adding magic crystals, nothing will go wrong. "For a fire mage, Herseus was a god, so Brooke always treated him with respect. In his opinion, it was a fluke that he was able to become Allegri's student, and as for Master Herseus the "Fire Rider", he did not dare to think about it at all. But these days, Herseus often instructed him in his magical practice, and even his stagnant realm had loosened up, which made him even more grateful and respectful of this master.
"Well," Herseus nodded, commanding, "There is no sign of the other party using the ultimate yet, but it's only a matter of time." When there is a sign, we must join hands to resist it with certainty. ”
"Master...... Brooke hesitated for a moment, and finally asked in a low voice, "What should I do then?"
"Alas...... It's a pity that I'm just an illusion now, otherwise I would have wiped out these guys by reaching out. In my soul form, I want to directly control all the energy, and it is very difficult to do it. With your help, I'll be able to wield about sixty percent of the power of the Magic Tower," Herseus turned his head to glance at Brooke, "but not before. You're going to have to hand over control of the Magic Tower to me for the time being, no problem, right?"
"Of course not," Brooke nodded hurriedly and said sincerely, "Master, your control over the power of flame magic is beyond my reach. ”
"You don't have to be so presumptuous. Herseus instructed lightly, "Your characteristics are just like your nickname, you are very talented in the instantaneous burst of magic power, which is also in line with the bursting nature of fire magic. As long as you find the right direction, you will naturally be able to use the magic of spells. ”
"Yes," Brooke asked with some concern as he looked sideways at the battlefield in the distance, where there seemed to be a faint shout of killing, but control of the magic tower had been completely handed over to Herseus. "Master, how is the situation on the battlefield now?"
"Just engaged, there is no situation," Herseus said in a calm voice, "but don't worry, these people in the mercenary group are the most reliable Dios." If anyone can defend against the opponent's attack, it is neither Illo nor Allegri. It's definitely him. ”
"Really, neither can the teacher?" Brooke wondered, in the eyes of a magician like him. As an archmage, Allegri was naturally the most powerful of the three.
"Shield of Light...... Infernal Fortress...... Do you think Dios is a waste of fame, there are very few people on this continent who can match him in the art of defense," Herseus seemed to talk a lot tonight, "as for Allegri's boy, he can't catch up with Dios...... Not to mention the commander and command of the army, even in terms of personality, he is not good at defense. ”
"Oh, Master, you mean ......" commented on Allegri's character. Brooke hadn't heard Herseus say it yet.
"Well, if it were possible, Allegri wished that none of his men would die," Herseus snorted, turning back. "He'd rather unleash ten large spells than give orders for his subordinates to fight to the death...... With such a character, it's good that the enemy is weak, if this is the case, he will definitely rush up alone and fight first to exhaust himself......"
"This ......," Brooke was a little dumbfounded.
"If Allegri's boy would rather be a man of his own, then Dios is a true general. He will not hesitate to give the order to fight to the death, and then rush to the front line and fight to the death," Herseus praised, "This is the basic quality that an undefeated star should have." ”
"Undefeated Celebrity...... Shizu's evaluation of Dios is so high?" Brooke was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask the last person in the Big Three, "What about Illo?"
"Illo?" Herseus frowned before hesitating, "he...... It's handsome. ”
"That's it?" Brooke looked up in surprise, "is there anything else?"
"Don't you think that's the greatest compliment for a man?" Herseus suddenly winked his eyes and laughed.
River Valley Front.
The distance between the two sides of the battle was already on the verge of engagement, and Dios could even see the White Thorn insignia on the chests of those Holy See soldiers. This made his spirit suddenly have a moment of trance, since when did he start standing opposite these familiar military insignia?
But as soon as he shook his head, he came to his senses, smiled self-deprecatingly, and began to carefully analyze the composition of the enemy army. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent on the battlefield requires the commander to have a keen ability to observe, and the commander of a hundred battles can even deduce the real combat effectiveness of the opponent's army from a little detail, and even where the weak points are.
It seems that the other party is really the elite troops of the Holy See, Dios said secretly in his heart. Heavy sword and shield warriors are one of the most elite army formations in the Holy See, and the equipment and training level of arming a warrior can even catch up with the cost of a knight, but the other party is directly sent to the forefront, looking determined to win. This was further evidenced by the mixed infantry units and the Chaplain Corps. The opponent obviously wanted to suppress the long-range attacks on the walls with the back-and-forth scattering of the archers, and the sword and shield hoplites assisted by the priests could withstand the damage, and the large army behind them was able to take advantage of the situation to attack the low wall.
Dios smiled slightly, not knowing who the commander of the other side was, but the strong attack required accurate calculation of the distance, so as to properly play the role of the mixed army under his command.
And he happens to be good at this. Dios stared for a moment, secretly calculating the opponent's position, and he had to interrupt the rhythm of the opponent's attack before he could launch it.
The army marched, marching neatly, and after a few breaths, Dios waved his hand vigorously and shouted,
"Stone-throwing!"
Unlike the "torch" order just now, there is a clear appearance like the flaming sword in his hand to remind the soldiers. As soon as he gave the order this time, the trumpeter next to him immediately blew the high-spirited horn, and naturally there were tonal combinations between them to convey different orders to convey different war orders. But the sound of the horn has not yet had time to teach the ogre warriors, so they still need to be reminded by the human mercenary next to them, so Dios also added a certain amount of prediction when calculating the distance.
Woowoo woo –
The trumpet sounded a second time, and huge rocks began to fall on the cliffs on both sides. The strong ogre warrior lifted the boulder and threw it down to the sound of the horn. Before they had time to bless the shield, a miserable scream suddenly sounded, and the soldiers subconsciously dodged, and the formation of the Holy See army suddenly seemed scattered.
One of the most important rhythms before the Papal army engages is the timing of the priesthood's blessing of magic and shields. These support spells don't last very long, and they need to be released at the right time to ensure that the soldiers still retain these enhancements when they engage in battle. But Dios, or Eren Elendil, is naturally extremely proficient in these tricks of the Bright Sect army.
As soon as he gave the order, the stones fell like raindrops, just a little earlier than the moment when the other party wanted to give the order to bless the magic and shield to charge all the way. It was this little bit that instantly disrupted the other party's ideal deployment.
However, the Papal troops near the cliff were mainly nimble mounted archers. The cliffs on both sides were not very tall, and the stone throwing range could not cover most of the Holy See's army, which successfully disrupted the rhythm, but the lethality was very limited. But the most important purpose of the ogre slinger that Dios placed here is not to kill, or even to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent's blessing magic.
Compressing the development of the opponent's formation is the ultimate goal of Dios. After all, the other side has an army of more than 10,000 people, and if the whole line is bet on a concentrated breakthrough, the pressure on the entire defense line will be very great. After there is a threat of throwing stones on both sides of the mouth of the valley, the opponent must compress the attack formation in the next attack to avoid damage away from the cliff. In this way, the area of the two sides will be greatly reduced, which is naturally very advantageous for the mercenary group with few troops.
The former "shield of light" has been held on to the impact of Snowton for hundreds of years, like a rock in a great wave that will never fall. And its owner, Ellen Elendil, who has the same name, is naturally outstanding in defense. So far, his arrangement has been accurate and perfect, and now, the soldiers of the Holy See can't help but move closer to the center.
Innedil was slightly stunned and frowned, soldiers did not obey military orders and messed up, which was still relatively rare under his rule. However, he couldn't blame the soldiers, so he could only give one order after another to stabilize the situation.
The formation became tighter, the holy magic and shields fell, and Dios's arrangement had the desired effect, but for both sides, the next war was the key to the real victory or defeat.
The moonlight was just right, the clear light was pouring like a river of heaven, and Dios stood solemnly with a sword and shield in his hand.
The stones on the stone walls on both sides also became sparse, maintaining only a deterrent effect. There was even a sense of tranquility on the battlefield, and the sound of boulders falling to the ground was like a low war drum, hitting people's hearts all at once.
The Holy See army, which had been blessed with divine magic and shields, began to march again, and its high-spirited momentum gradually rose. After months of baptism of battle, the so-called "new army" of the Holy See has shed its youthful afterbirth coat and has shown the courage of a heroic division on the battlefield.
Innedir stood upright, raised his hands in the air, and the voice of the blessing of the psalm rang like a bell.
"Bright New Army, charge!" (to be continued......
