Riding and Slashing

Chapter 122 Entering Changhe Town

The combat power of that prophet seems to be completely beyond the reach of human beings - no normal person can pick up and fly a knight with two or three hundred pounds of equipment with a wave of one hand...

And the huge two-and-a-half-meter-long wide-bladed knife in her hand radiated a strange light in the sun, and there was no trace of blood on the blade, and it looked absolutely extraordinary.

Her dark red armor also began to reveal visions after being soaked in blood—the inner lining of the armor seemed to be shaking!

It looks like pouring a scalding hot oil on a piece of fresh meat!
Afterwards, the armor revealed their true appearance... It was dark red flesh intertwined with gray and white bones, forming a strange texture.

The bloody flesh and blood swayed slightly in the sun, and it felt like the flesh and blood were alive...

That is an armor made of flesh and blood!

In other words, it is not armor at all, it should be regarded as some kind of witchcraft item made of human flesh and bones by the three prophets...

It usually looks like a gorgeous red armor, but once it is stained with blood, you will see the original bloody appearance!
The lord was obviously frightened... Gritting his teeth, he took out an arrow and shot it.

The arrow passed through a distance of tens of meters, and accurately pierced the prophet's chest, but it was only shallow, and fell down with the prophet's caress!

Is the defense so high?

The prophet is charging against the arrow, can't he shoot it in?
The lord's heart sank—he finally knew what the moth brought by the voice of the goddess of justice, Astalia...

The three prophets not only have outstanding deception and adaptability, but their own fighting power is also so powerful!

This is no longer a witch, this is completely a female ghost...

No wonder they didn't retreat after the camp was burnt down—they didn't need to retreat at all!

I originally thought that I could beat them up by making them out of touch, but now it seems that it would be good if I didn't risk my life!

But the horses of the three prophets are very fast, and Li Ang's team is mostly infantry, so running like this is definitely not the way...

The lord gritted his teeth, slowed down Alice's pace, turned around and stopped: "Stop! Spread out to attack!"

There is no way, running is not enough, while there are only three prophets and a dozen Doom Introducers rushing over now, let's swarm up and try...

Although the outcome is unpredictable, and the loss is bound to be huge, but in any case, we can only give it a go!

Seeing the three prophets approaching him, the lord took off the lance from the hook - this was the one 'given' to him by King Ulrik.

I don't know if all living beings are still equal under riding a gun this time?
Seeing Li Ang raised his lance, the thirty cavalry also raised their lances, turned their horses, and prepared to charge back with their boss.

"Cavalry ready!"

"hooohoohoo...hoooohoo..."

At the moment when Li Ang was about to countercharge, the whistle of the owl knights suddenly sounded from a distance behind him.

And the three prophets who were rushing forward in front of them actually slowed down their horses, and then made a small circle and led the bad luck guides back!

Li Ang turned his head, a few hundred meters away, the team that set fire to Baron Leofric came back!
This came back just right!
Although there were only more than 200 lightly armed soldiers on draft horses, at this juncture, Leofric's team had become the key to the outcome!
Their draft horses are obviously not suitable for combat. In fact, Leofric may not be very aware of the current situation-but in the eyes of the Prophet Legion, this is a cavalry force of nearly 300 people!

If this is really a 300-man Sarleon cavalry, as long as they enter the battlefield, the Prophet Legion in the melee will indeed be destroyed...

Probably because he hasn't been cheated in front of the goddess recently, the lord feels that his luck seems to have improved?

The three prophets obviously stopped charging after seeing this cavalry team. Even if they were female ghosts, they probably weren't strong enough to fight against [-] cavalry with [-] people...

Just after the three prophets returned to their trusted female soldiers, a sharp voice sounded like a ghost crying.

"squeak……"

It was like the sound of metal being rubbed hard, extremely harsh and disturbing.

That should be an order for the Prophet Legion to withdraw.

Just after this piercing sound sounded, the team of blood-sworn witches launched a violent charge.

They seemed to have completely lost their minds, no longer caring about their own lives, and rushed to the various doom attractor teams separately, as if they wanted to free the female soldiers trapped in the melee.

Their strength was too astonishing, and the incident happened so suddenly that hundreds of fighters around them couldn't stop them.

Afterwards, under the support of these crazy blood-sworn witches, the Doom Introducer of the Prophet Legion led the team to leave the battlefield and quickly retreated to the position of the three prophets.

But in this kind of melee, only a little more than half of them were able to successfully withdraw from the battle group. Many female soldiers were completely trapped in the melee, and even with the support of the blood oath witch, they couldn't escape at all.

The blood-sworn witches who forcibly attacked suffered even greater losses. Only a few dozen were able to retreat successfully, and most of the others had their heads chopped off.

They would rather suffer huge losses than forcibly withdraw their troops. The Three Prophets were obviously worried about being forcibly attacked by this 'cavalry regiment', and they obviously paid more attention to their own safety.

But his family knew about his own affairs - Godric also saw Leofric's team, he knew very well that the 'cavalry' on draft horses could not fight at all, so he did not order the pursuit, but led the team Quickly clear all enemies still in the field.

Li Ang also immediately led the team to clean up the remaining enemies.

None of these female soldiers would surrender, and they would all fight silently to the death, which was quite tricky to deal with.

Moreover, after finding that they could not withdraw from the battlefield, some of the trapped Doom Introducers also went crazy like the Blood Oath Witch—they suddenly broke out with the same strength as the Blood Oath Witch, and then began to ignore life and death.

But this sudden outburst seems to have come at a price - they gain amazing strength, but seem to lose their original dexterity and intelligence.

They no longer dodge or even defend.

Although they did cause a lot of casualties to the coalition army because of this, they were also killed by the siege faster.

After cleaning up the female soldiers trapped in the battlefield, the combined army regrouped.With the experience just now, Godric will never let the army disperse again. Facing these women, fighting in formation is the kingly way.

Not long after, the battlefield gradually calmed down.

The Legion of the Prophets lost more than 300 people, which was one-third of their strength. At present, there are about 500 blood-sworn witches, [-] bad luck guides, and more than [-] female soldiers.

The coalition army killed more than 200 people in battle, plus more than [-] people with various minor and serious injuries, and the battle damage also reached one-third.

No one is seeking benefits...

In fact, if the fight continues in such a chaotic manner, the coalition army must be the first to collapse.

No matter how elite the human army is, it is impossible to maintain extremely high morale in the face of increasing battle losses, and sooner or later it will reach a critical point—unless they have firm revolutionary beliefs.

But the current situation is that the troops with firm beliefs are these heretical witches... They seem to fight to the end, even if they fight to the last, they will fight to the end. The United Army can't do this.

But now, the Legion of Prophets has gathered around the three Prophets to form a circle.

The blood-sworn witch in heavy armor stood in the front row, while the trusted female soldiers stood in a dense array holding long-handled knives, and the other women were in the middle, holding bows and arrows in their hands.

Obviously, this is a purely defensive form, and it seems that the long-handled knife is used to defend against cavalry assaults.

It seems that the Prophet Legion also knows a little bit of simple battle formation - but judging from their equipment, the formation they can use is limited to this.

"Look at this, are they worried that we will use cavalry to charge the battle? Do they think Leofric is leading the cavalry?"

Godric also saw this situation, but in fact, there were not many traditional Sarleon cavalry in the combined army lineup...

The rangers under Ralph are heavy cavalry archers. Although they can also charge like the Sarleon knights, they use spears and bows, not lances.

The length of the spear was not even as long as the long-handled knife in the hands of the prophet's confidants. Except for the specially-made extended spear in Ralph's hand, other rangers might not be able to get any favors if they rushed forward.

In fact, war spears are originally used to deal with cavalry - rangers have been fighting against Jatu people for a long time. The relatively shorter but more flexible war spears are specially used to fight against Jatu lancers. It is not used to display cavalry spears stabbing.

The knights under Godric and Leofric are all traditional aristocratic knights in Sarleon, but they are not many in number. Excluding casualties, there are only about forty of them.

Moreover, these knights are grassroots lords. Once they die, the troops they bring will probably no longer obey the command.

Li Ang's cavalry could be regarded as traditional cavalry, but the number was too small.

The rest are all infantry and archers...

As for the nearly [-] guys on draft horses that Leofric is bringing now—these are just the soldiers he brought to escort food and grass before. Most of them are not cavalry, but they just know how to drive and ride horses...

So the United Army can't use cavalry to charge the formation, but the Prophet Legion doesn't know this situation. They think that all Leofric brought are Sarleon cavalry, so they can only form a defensive formation...

With the horns calling for the rangers of the Ranger Group to stare at them, the Prophet Legion did not dare to retreat directly—they would definitely be chased by their tails, and it would be miserable to be chased by cavalry archers.

And the battle just now has demonstrated the powerful fighting power of the Prophet Legion, so Godric did not dare to attack directly...

As a result, both sides formed an array and confronted each other hundreds of meters apart, and no one acted rashly.

A strange confrontation has formed on the battlefield - if there were no corpses and blood all over the ground, those who didn't know would think that there was no fight at all.

If the fight really didn't start, then the current situation must be in line with the lord's wishes-the camp and food of the Prophet Legion were burned, and they had no supplies.

However, both Leon and Godric are not sure whether they still need to eat or not—the Goddess of Darkness can even resurrect from death, what if they can also achieve the freedom of fasting?

"If this continues, will they turn other dead people into fallen ones? After all, it seems that many people died near their camp..."

It was Klose who spoke.

Yup!

The lord also thought that when the two sides approached before, the Prophet Legion was reorganizing the army, and they could see them killing those messy men from a distance.

But why didn't they see fallen people get up near the burning camp when they prayed just now?

In other words, they can't create fallen people at will?
At this time, Sarah answered: "Probably not... Only those who believe in the Goddess of Darkness can become fallen. I mean, you must dedicate your soul and flesh and blood to the Goddess of Darkness in order to get The so-called power... Besides, if there is no sacrifice of souls in the altar, those fallen people are useless, as you have seen, they will kill each other..."

"Sarah, have you seen these heretics?" Li Ang was a little surprised: "Then you didn't mention it before?"

"I haven't seen a fallen person before... and it's not a glorious thing. When I was in Cliff Bay many years ago, I was almost tricked into becoming a follower of the Goddess of Darkness!"

Sarah shook her head, showing a rare and shy expression - this kind of expression that often appeared on Anson's face was really unbelievable on Sarah's face.

"Tricked?"

Li Ang looked at Sarah in surprise: "You? Being tricked by others? You didn't say anything wrong, did you?"

"My lord, there are times when everyone is young and ignorant..."

Sarah's tone was a little low: "At that time, not long after I left my hometown, I fell in love with a knight who shouldn't be liked. He is a believer in the goddess of justice, and he is also a decent person. Because of him, I also became a knight." Believers of Staria—I never expected that a bard like me actually worships the goddess of justice..."

"He taught me swordsmanship and took me to an auction of elf girls...but that was the last time I was with him, and then he suddenly disappeared."

"I thought he abandoned me... Later in the tavern, I met a woman who said he was a playboy and fell in love with someone else, and offered to take me to him. I was so innocent at that time that I actually believed it."

"Then I was taken to the swamp north of Mirecastle, where there was a hidden lair, where I heard the Lady Justice's prayer—this is a prayer he often recited, and I believed that he really it's here……"

"But I didn't expect that it was a group of heretics who seduced girls. They believed in Ereda, the goddess of darkness... I saw their altar."

"I knew that heretic believers would gain power by sacrificing flesh and blood, so I was prepared. There, I learned that Eredar, the goddess of darkness, has no entity, no fixed appearance, and its statue has no face. Heresy After the fanatics peeled off their skin, the power of the God of Darkness can be added to them. Of course, this is just what I heard there. Seeing their ceremony..."

"Because I escaped quickly after seeing the altar full of flesh and blood... After all, I am not the kind of ignorant girl who doesn't understand anything."

Sarah smiled wryly and looked at the lord: "It's just that, at that time, my mind was full of that man, and I didn't observe too carefully... Later, when I traveled around, I actually wanted to find him... But now it seems that I have met him before. The group of heretics who arrived here is probably helping the Three Prophets find believers."

Li Ang sighed: "Sarah, the group you met may not be looking for believers - based on your appearance, I think they are probably looking for skins! Fortunately, you escaped... Otherwise, we are now Among the three prophets I saw, I am afraid that one of them will look like you!"

Sarah gasped.

It is indeed possible...

"But what should we do now? It's not good to be so exhausted... If we continue to consume it, the morale of our team may become lower and lower. After all, everyone has not slept all night. We are not sure about attacking... But I don't want to Let them run away, Li Ang, do you have an idea?"

It was Godric who spoke, and he did not know when he joined Leon's team.

It’s true that the Three Prophets can’t just run away like this. With their abilities, as long as they don’t die, they will probably make a comeback soon—it’s nothing more than reorganizing a slaughterhouse of sex and brainwashing...

"Since the Prophet Legion is worried about our 'cavalry'...then let Baron Leofric and the rangers work harder and stare at them from a few hundred meters away. Let's bring other troops into Longhe Town. Anyway, they don't It is too likely that the main attack will launch an attack, and there will be a large number of 'cavalry' staring at them, and they will definitely not dare to retreat like this..."

The lord feels that it is easier to handle now, at least he knows what the enemy is afraid of, and the three prophets obviously can no longer summon the fallen.

"But let the soldiers be confident first...Sarah, go tell the soldiers that those are the most evil devils, their skin comes from the women and children they kill, and their property comes from the knights who were deceived , their armor and strength come from the flesh and blood of the villagers... If we fail to kill them here, none of the surrounding villages will be able to escape their claws in the future! We must fight them to the end - you know what to say of."

Li Ang turned around to look at the soldiers behind him, and signaled Sarah to go to the team to do publicity first.

Godric also recruited Ralph and Charles, and asked them to lead the rangers to popularize the horror of the Prophet Legion in the combined army.

Afterwards, the joint army split into two groups. The large army led the wounded and maintained their formation and began to slowly advance towards Longhe Town, while Leofric led his 'cavalry' to clean up the battlefield, and Ralph's rangers were on the battlefield. The Legion of Prophets patrolled behind.

The Prophet Legion did not move in the circle, just watching the infantry formation of the United Army keep a distance of about 300 meters and bypass them.

Both sides were guarded and no one made a move. The coalition army advanced slowly and cautiously, watching the Prophet Legion move slowly. It took more than an hour to move four miles to the outside of Changhe Town.

Entering the city went smoothly, and Amy was negotiating with the garrison before.

However, as soon as he entered the city, the lord saw Amy greet him angrily: "Teacher, these guys are too selfish, they don't want to fight at all! Letting you enter the city is not troublesome at all..."
