I really didn't expect that the prayer of Goddess of Justice can also be applied to Dark Goddess!
Goddess's Kiss will drive away the god of death and bring hope of life. Warriors swear by blood to uphold justice and gain strength and courage - this sounds like a decent god indeed!
No wonder these people believe in heresy so easily - these guys are probably convinced that the Dark Goddess they respect represents justice...
Fight for justice?
I'm afraid those heretics think so too! They may think that they are the righteous party!
Because, Goddess of Justice Astaria has no ability to resurrect those who died in battle!
This prayer, used on Dark Goddess, seems to be more in line with the actual situation...
When these heretics begged for death on the battlefield, they swore an oath with their own blood. And Dark Goddess did drive away the god of death and gave them hope of life. It allowed these guys who lost their lives to stand up again, and gave them violent strength and the courage to not be afraid of death!
However, it probably also deprived them of another thing - these people seemed to have lost their minds.
In other words, they gave their souls.
Godric also saw this scene, and he naturally understood that it would be impossible to fight a war of attrition safely! Three Prophets could actually resurrect people from the dead!
"Kill them quickly!"
Godric gave the order with a face full of fear, but the soldiers behind him hesitated for a moment - no one had ever seen such a scene, it was too scary!
Soon, several men tore off a large amount of skin on their bodies, turning them into a pile of red flesh. They picked up the weapons on the ground and began to kill the people around them.
But they seemed to have completely lost all consciousness - they were actually cutting down along with their own people...
Li Ang had just led his men to chop off the heads of two or three Fallen One and gathered his recruits into the team. Then he saw several Fallen One killing each other. He immediately asked the team to stop and start to retreat.
It seems that Three Prophets's resurrection technology is not very perfect... These 'Fallen One' seem to be indistinguishable from friend to foe?
This is true. If these Fallen One could be completely controlled, then Three Prophets would have already become three Queen!
More and more men in underwear stood up and roared, tearing off their skin, and then started fighting each other...
These Fallen Ones, which do not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, cannot cause any effective damage, but in any case, these Fallen Ones did scare the coalition forces.
After all, this kind of thing like resurrecting from the dead and then forming a group to shed one's skin seems really scary...
Hundreds of demons with only red flesh on their bodies were fighting each other in a state of confusion. The entire battlefield looked like a real hell.
Although the troops of the coalition army all come from the border, and the border troops who have fought for a long time are very courageous and courageous, the problem is that the enemies they have faced in the past are basically human beings, or occasionally they have to deal with a few Noldo Elves-Noldo, except for their longer ears, they also look human.
But these people in front of me don't look like humans...
Not to mention these soldiers, the lord felt a little guilty when he looked at them.
"Back... back! Avoid them! Stay away from them all!"
Li Ang shouted loudly, stopped the coalition forces who were about to advance, and led the team quickly back to a position where there were no corpses.
At present, the soldiers of the Union Army were hesitant and did not rush very fast. When they heard the Lord's shout, most of them stopped.
"Lord Godric, let the whole army retreat!"
Seeing that Godric seemed stunned, Li Ang rushed to Godric and shouted, "Don't let the troops pass, they are killing each other!"
Godric reacted immediately and immediately used the command flag to order the troops to stop advancing and slowly retreat.
But when a large force of 1,500 men is advancing and is ordered to retreat, it will definitely disrupt the formation.
This is not a modern force that has been trained in long-term formations, but a mixed force from five lords. Naturally, it cannot do everything at once. Moreover, it was originally planned to besiege, so the formation was spread out.
Fortunately, the Union Army soldiers hesitated just now... otherwise they wouldn't even be able to get back if they charged forward.
But now, the coalition's formation is still a bit chaotic.
At this moment, the prayers that enveloped the battlefield suddenly stopped.
Prophet Legion stopped praying, and their team began to disperse at an incredible speed. From behind the female soldiers, a large group of strange soldiers wearing blue-gray armor rushed out.
These were two hundred skinned men wearing heavy blue-grey armor, but without any skin on their heads.
Perhaps the fire in the camp burned their black cloaks and robes, so they appeared directly on the battlefield without wearing helmets.
At first glance, apart from wearing armor, they look no different from those Fallen Ones who are killing each other!
If I had to say something different, it might be that the freshly peeled flesh and blood of Fallen One looks brighter, after all, the blood on their bodies is still flowing...
As for the heavily armored female soldiers without skin, their heads looked dry reddish-brown.
But these women were wearing heavy armor, but they ran very fast - they took advantage of the coalition's formation to be disrupted and launched a rapid charge!
The heavy armor on their bodies seemed to weigh at least fifty pounds, but they could still charge faster than most adult men!
Behind them, Prophet Legion and Misfortune Bringer dispersed into more than a hundred teams, dispersing at an unimaginable speed and rushing over behind those skinless heavily armored female soldiers!
The distance between the two sides was only three hundred meters, and such a charge only took a few dozen seconds. The coalition's array was not very neat, and it was too late to regroup.
"Meet the enemy!" "Hold them off!"
There were a lot of shouts from the coalition forces. These experienced border troops knew that in this situation there was no way to retreat and they had to engage in battle to face the enemy!
They had been arrayed as a knight squad before, and now they were also in formation to attack head-on.
Ralph's rangers were also divided into more than a dozen formations and began to parade on both sides - they were horse archers, and riding and shooting were their specialty, so it would not be worth fighting in hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, Godric's archers were still in a relatively forward position. Facing Prophet Legion's rapid charge, they only fired two rounds of arrows before they had to retreat. The knight formation stepped forward to fend off the heavily armored Skin-Flayer that was charging towards them.
These spontaneous responses were all correct, but the only problem was - as groups of knights faced the enemy head-on, the originally uneven array suddenly became very sparse!
And those Misfortune Bringer led the female soldiers to run wildly. After the two sides engaged, they did not attack the troops in the front row. Instead, they directly bypassed the heavily armored Skinner in front of them and passed through the gap in the coalition army!
Then, each female soldier team directly faced a knight formation - they obviously wanted to fight the Union Army in a full-scale hand-to-hand combat with the smallest unit!
It seems that Prophet Legion obviously knows that those Fallen One will kill each other uncontrollably. Their weird ritual is not for Fallen One to kill the coalition forces, but for this moment!
They first gathered together and waited for the Union Army to disperse and surround them;
Then let those men in underwear rush over to die, and then summon Fallen One on the battlefield to disrupt the coalition's formation;
Then he took the opportunity to charge and turned the battlefield into a melee!
Three Prophets's ability to improvise is really strong!
Judging from the previous behavior of those Misfortune Bringer, the female soldiers of the Prophet Legion are probably not good at fighting in formations - they are not regular troops, and they probably have not received formation training.
Moreover, including Misfortune Bringer, the IQ or knowledge level of those female soldiers should not be too high, they are just good at seducing and deceiving men - a really smart or knowledgeable girl would not be deceived like this, and would not even lose face.
But judging from the Lord's personal experience, these Misfortune Bringer's personal combat capabilities are indeed very strong - and they are not afraid of pain, and they are probably not afraid of death.
Judging from their skills and lack of fear of pain or death, Prophet Legion would definitely be happy to get into a melee!
People who don't feel pain may lose the ability to protect themselves from danger, but in a melee situation, people who don't feel pain are very scary - as long as they are alive, no matter how injured they are, they have 100% combat effectiveness!
Moreover, cultists who have been brainwashed by heretics must have a terrifyingly high will to fight...
Using hundreds of cannon fodder without equipment to achieve such results is definitely a good deal for the Prophet Legion!
The battlefield suddenly turned into the melee that Three Prophets wanted, and Three Prophets's response method was obviously very effective - a team of six or seven people led by Misfortune Bringer was able to fight hard with a dozen men in a knight formation in the melee!
Li Ang did not disperse with his team, and no Misfortune Bringer came to find them. Misfortune Bringer targeted the knight formations, and no one rushed into his team of hundreds of people for excitement.
However, the lord did not support the other knight formations, but quickly led the team back to Godric to act as a guard to prevent Godric from encountering beheading tactics.
Because there are not many people around the coach Godric at this time - only the more than one hundred guards led by Amy are protecting Godric.
The heavy infantry from White Deer Fortress held off the skinned monsters, and some rangers and Long River Town Sentinels were supporting them.
All other troops, including Ralph, have already used knights as units to fight fiercely with the teams that have been led by bad luck.
It seems fair-these formations of more than a hundred knights are exactly the same as those of more than a hundred teams led by Misfortune Bringer...
At this time, the three prophets were very conspicuous on their tall horses. They stood still and did not get close to the battlefield. They only had about a hundred people behind them, but they were obviously better equipped.
It seems that this is the team of the Prophet Legion's cronies who were responsible for organizing the army when the fire broke out and killing the disobedient people.
They seemed to have their eyes on Godric's banner, but did not get close. After all, Godric was surrounded by a large army of more than 200 people.
Godric also saw Three Prophets: "Li Ang, do you think we are confident in dealing with the people around Three Prophets?"
The lord shook his head directly. "I feel that if we rush over, it will only end in a melee..."
"I think so too..." Godric pointed to the skinless female monsters who didn't know whether they were human beings. "Are those wearing heavy armor also Fallen One? They look like skinned women?".
"Those are the ones I saw in their camp before. They are probably Blood Oath Witch who swore a blood oath to God of Darkness and abandoned their bodies to pray for strength..."
Li Ang answered while observing the battlefield situation.
"But those Blood Oath Witch don't look like they're crazy..."
Godric looked at the few Fallen One who were still killing each other, and then looked at those Blood Oath Witch.
"Not only are those Blood Oath Witch not crazy, but they can also patrol in teams and can talk... Maybe they are completely different from these Fallen One. I feel that they are not dead... but alive!"
"If they are alive... then there is nothing to fear! Li Ang, I'm going to kill those Blood Oath Witch! After destroying those heavy monsters, the rangers and archers can rule the battlefield!"
"Amy, you stay away...Li Ang, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Three Prophets's team, you can also lure them away, don't let them enter the battlefield!"
Godric seemed to have strengthened his confidence and made a decision, leading the guards to defeat the group of heavily armored female soldiers first.
He has also seen that Prophet Legion's strongest combat power is Misfortune Bringer and Blood Oath Witch - and they are particularly good at individual combat.
Each Misfortune Bringer is slightly stronger than the average Meitengheim Great Swordsman, and it will definitely have the upper hand against ordinary knights.
In fact, almost every one of them is now playing one against three, or even more - but they are still not far behind!
And the power of Blood Oath Witch looks extremely terrifying - their power definitely exceeds that of Kloze, and may even be comparable to the 'The Noisy One' Alaric that Li Ang once encountered!
It's just that those Blood Oath Witch are not wearing helmets, and their combat skills are far different from Misfortune Bringer.
However, the heavy armor on their bodies is obviously very defensive, and even the rangers' arrows can't penetrate it!
You know, the bow used by Horn Summon Ranger Corps is the famous Eagle Strike Bow - this is the first-class Strong Bow. Each bow is the heirloom of Ranger Corps members and is not for sale!
Unless the head of Blood Oath Witch is shot without helmet protection, it will be difficult to cause damage to them!
But such a melee situation obviously does not support the Rangers and Long River Town Sentinelss to take careful aim.
In hand-to-hand combat, their strength advantage becomes particularly terrifying.
These scary-looking guys hold two-handed sabers, and can often cut through shields with one swing, and can even easily knock away the weapons of infantrymen.
There are only more than 200 heavy infantrymen in the coalition army. They are obviously no match for Blood Oath Witch. They can barely resist it now with the support of some rangers and Long River Town Sentinels.
Li Ang also thinks that Godric's decision is not problematic. Except for those Blood Oath Witch, the remaining troops of the Prophet Legion only wear chain armor or leather armor.
If we can kill those Blood Oath Witch, we can free the Horn Summon Ranger Corps and White Deer Fortress archers from the melee, and then organize long-range firepower to clear the battlefield.
Three Prophets had been keeping an eye on Godric. Seeing Godric leading the team to besiege Blood Oath Witch, they also rushed towards Godric's banner.
"Amy, go to Long River Town and ask the garrison to come out of the city for support. I will deal with Three Prophets's troops!"
The Lord Lord looked at the position of Three Prophets opposite. "It stands to reason that the Long River Town garrison can see the situation here... ask them why they don't go to war!"
Indeed, you can see the figures on the Long River Town city wall here. You can barely see them from a distance of about four miles, but you can't see them clearly.
Besides, the previous fire was so obvious, but Long River Town has never had any troops leave the city to receive reinforcements!
Amy knew that Li Ang did not want her to be put in danger, and she was not the kind of willful girl. After nodding her head to express her understanding, she took a few guards and rode in a large circle, avoiding the battlefield and heading to Long River Town.
And Li Ang led the team in an arc, blocking them just before Three Prophets was about to join the battle group.
"Brothers, shoot the arrows!"
The lord would not charge foolishly. After being nearly a hundred meters away, he began to let the archers shoot arrows.
Such a long distance would definitely not produce any effective results, but it successfully attracted the attention of the three prophets.
There are more than a dozen Misfortune Bringer under Three Prophets, and the other more than 80 confidant female soldiers also look calm and indifferent. They are obviously their elite troops.
There are about a hundred people on both sides, and they seem to be evenly matched?
However, these women are neither afraid of death nor pain, and their fighting ability cannot be treated by common sense, so Li Ang does not intend to fight head-on.
He just wanted to hold them back.
However, there are only three prophets and those Misfortune Bringer riding fast horses. Those female confidants are all infantry archers. If we can get them out of touch, maybe we can fight a dozen?
After the three prophets noticed that Li Ang's team was releasing arrows, they launched a fierce charge at them immediately - Three Prophets personally went into battle and rushed over with those Misfortune Bringer.
"Are you so direct? Brothers, move back!"
The lord led the team and ran away, looking back while running, planning to retreat a short distance first, and then try to besiege Three Prophets.
But then, he saw a terrifying scene...
That was a knight, probably a subordinate of Godric. After just solving a Misfortune Bringer, he also noticed Three Prophets.
While Three Prophets was charging towards Li Ang and his attention was not on him, the knight held a lance and charged towards one of the prophets from the side.
But after seeing him, the prophet holding a huge broad-bladed sword just waved his hand, and the knight who had rushed in front of her was knocked away by the sword!
Yes, this heavily armed knight was sent flying several meters by the sword!
Blood sprayed in the air and splashed on the prophet's armor. But the knight's death didn't even make the prophet stop charging. It seemed like he killed a mosquito casually!
This kind of fighting power is so terrifying, Li Ang feels that he is definitely no match...
Note some values in the game for reference:
Human limit strength: 39 (This is the strength of the adventure hero. The book assumes that Kloze is also close to 39, which is the limit of human beings. The strength of ordinary knights, that is, the top arms, is between 24-27)
Blood Oath Witch Strength:57
The lowest level Fallen One power: 57 (as long as it is the nature of Fallen One, the power is 57 or above)
Three Prophets Strength: 138 (This is the highest strength data in the entire game. In fact, Three Prophets's panel data is also the strongest in the entire game, with a full proficiency of 650 and a standard dragon bone ax... These three witches can be unparalleled in the player's team. In fact, they are more powerful after dismounting than when riding.)
