The prophet's combat power seems to be completely beyond the reach of human beings - no normal person can fly a knight with two to three hundred pounds of equipment with a single wave of his hand...
The huge broad-bladed knife in her hand, which was two and a half meters long, emitted a strange light in the sunlight. There was no trace of blood on the blade, and it looked absolutely extraordinary.
Her dark red armor began to show signs of strangeness after being soaked in blood - the lining of the armor seemed to be trembling!
It looks like pouring a ladle of hot oil on a piece of fresh meat!
Then, the armors revealed their true appearance... They were dark red flesh and blood intertwined with gray-white bones, forming a strange texture.
The bloody flesh and blood swayed slightly in the sun, and it felt like these flesh and blood were alive...
That is armor made of flesh and blood!
In other words, it's not armor at all, it should be some kind of witchcraft item made by Three Prophets using human flesh and bones...
It may look like a gorgeous red armor at ordinary times, but once it is stained with blood, you will see its original bloody appearance!
The lord was obviously frightened... He gritted his teeth, took out an arrow and turned around to shoot.
The arrow passed through a distance of tens of meters and accurately pierced the chest of the prophet, but it only pierced it shallowly and fell off with the prophet's caress!
Is the defense so high?
The prophet was charging towards the arrows, but he couldn't even hit them?
The lord's heart sank - he finally knew what trouble Goddess Astaria's voice caused...
Three Prophets not only has outstanding deception and adaptability, but their own combat effectiveness is also so powerful!
This is no longer a witch, this is completely a female ghost...
No wonder they didn't retreat even after the whole camp was burned down - there was no need for them to retreat at all!
I originally thought I could fight them if they were separated from each other, but now it seems that it would be better if I don't risk my own life!
But the horses of the three prophets are very fast, and most of Li Ang's team are infantry, so running like this is definitely not an option...
The lord gritted his teeth, slowed down Alice's pace, turned around and stopped. "Stop! Spread out and attack!"
There is no way, running is not possible, take advantage of the fact that there are only three prophets and a dozen Misfortune Bringer rushing over now, let's try to swarm them...
Although the outcome is unpredictable and the losses are bound to be huge, we can only give it a try anyway!
Looking at the oncoming Three Prophets, the lord took off the lance on the hook - this was the one King Ulrich "gifted" to him.
I wonder if this time, under the gun, all living beings are still equal?
Seeing Li Ang raising his lance, the thirty cavalrymen also raised their lances, turned their horses, and prepared to follow their boss in a countercharge.
"Cavalry ready!"
"Hooohoohoo... hooohoo..."
Just when Li Ang was about to launch a counterattack, Owl Knight's whistle suddenly sounded from far behind.
But Three Prophets, who was rushing in front of him, actually slowed down his horse speed, then made a small circle and retreated with Misfortune Bringer!
Li Ang turned around, and a few hundred meters away, the team that set fire to Baron Leofric was back!
What a perfect time to come back!
Although there are only more than two hundred lightly-armed soldiers riding draft horses, at this moment, the team Leofric has become the key to victory or defeat!
Their draft horses are obviously not suitable for combat. In fact, Leofric may not know much about the current situation - but in the Prophet Legion's eyes, this is a cavalry force of nearly 300 people!
If this is really a 300-man Lion Territory cavalry, as long as it enters the battlefield, most of the Prophet Legion will be destroyed in the melee...
Probably because you haven't been deceived in front of Goddess recently, the lord feels that your luck has improved?
Three Prophets obviously stopped charging after seeing this cavalry team. Even if they are female ghosts, they are probably not strong enough to dare to fight with 20 people against 300 cavalry...
Just after Three Prophets returned to the team of their trusted female soldiers, a sharp voice like a ghost's cry rang out.
"Squeak..."
It was like the sound of metal being rubbed hard, it was extremely harsh and disturbing.
That should be Prophet Legion's order to withdraw troops.
Just after this harsh sound sounded, the team Blood Oath Witch launched a violent charge.
As if they had completely lost their minds, they no longer cared about their own lives, and rushed madly towards each Misfortune Bringer team, as if they wanted to free the female soldiers trapped in the melee.
Their strength was so amazing, and the incident happened so suddenly that hundreds of soldiers around them were unable to stop them.
Subsequently, Misfortune Bringer of the Prophet Legion, assisted by these crazy Blood Oath Witch, led the team away from the battlefield and quickly retreated to Three Prophets's position.
But in this kind of melee, only a little more than half can successfully withdraw from the battle group. Many female soldiers are completely trapped in the melee, and even with the help of Blood Oath Witch, they cannot escape at all.
The Blood Oath Witch that forced the attack suffered even greater losses. Only a few dozen were able to successfully retreat, and most of the others had their heads chopped off.
They would rather suffer huge losses than forcefully withdraw and regroup. Three Prophets is obviously worried about being forcibly assaulted by this 'cavalry regiment', and they obviously pay more attention to their own safety.
But his own family knew his own affairs - Godric also saw Leofric's team. He knew very well that this 'cavalry' on draft horses could not fight at all, so he did not order a pursuit, but led the team to quickly clear out all the enemies still on the battlefield.
Li Ang also immediately led the team to clean up the remaining enemies.
It is true that none of these female soldiers will surrender. They will all fight silently until death, which is quite difficult to deal with.
Moreover, after discovering that they could not evacuate from the battlefield, some trapped Misfortune Bringer also went crazy like Blood Oath Witch - they suddenly burst out with the same strength as Blood Oath Witch, and then began to fight regardless of life and death.
But this sudden burst seemed to come at a price - they gained amazing strength, but seemed to have lost their original dexterity and wisdom.
They no longer dodge or move around, or even defend themselves.
Although they did quickly cause a lot of casualties to the coalition forces, they were also besieged and killed faster.
After cleaning up the female soldiers trapped on the battlefield, the coalition forces regrouped together. With the experience just now, Godric will never let the army disperse again. Facing these women, fighting in formation is the way to go.
Not long after, the battlefield gradually calmed down.
Prophet Legion lost more than 300 people, which was one-third of their troops. Currently, there are about sixty Blood Oath Witch, one hundred Misfortune Bringer, and more than 500 female soldiers.
The Union Army lost more than 200 people in battle, and with the addition of about 300 casualties, the battle losses reached one-third.
No one is asking for any benefits...
In fact, if the fight continues in such a chaotic manner, the Union Army will be the first to collapse.
No matter how elite the human army is, it is impossible to maintain extremely high morale despite increasing battle losses. Sooner or later it will reach a critical point - unless they have firm revolutionary beliefs.
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 soldier. The Union Army cannot do this.
But now, Prophet Legion has gathered around the three prophets to form a circle.
Blood Oath Witch, wearing heavy armor, stood in the front row, while the female confidants held long-handled knives and stood in a dense array. 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 sword is used to defend against cavalry assault.
It seems that Prophet Legion is also capable of some simple battle formations - but judging from their equipment, the formations they can use are limited to this.
"Look at this, are they worried about us using cavalry to charge into the formation? Do they think Leofric is bringing lancers?"
Godric also sees this situation, but in fact there are not many Lion Territory traditional cavalry in the coalition lineup...
The rangers under Ralph are heavily armed mounted archers. Although they can charge like Lion Territory knights, they use spears and bows instead of lances.
The length of the war spear is not even as long as the long-handled knife in the hands of the prophet's cronies. Except for the specially made extended war spear in the hand of Ralph, other rangers may not be able to gain favor if they rush forward.
In fact, the war spear is originally used to deal with lances - the rangers have been fighting against Gatu people for a long time. The relatively short but more flexible war spear is a close-quarters weapon specially used to fight against the Jatu Lancers, and is not used to perform lance thrusts.
The knights under Godric and Leofric are all Lion Territory traditional noble knights, 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 their orders.
Li Ang's cavalry can be considered traditional lancers, but the number is too small.
The others are all infantry and archers...
As for the nearly 300 guys on draft horses that Leofric is bringing now - these are just the soldiers he brought before to escort food and grass. Most of them are not cavalry, but they can drive and ride horses...
Therefore, the coalition army could not use cavalry to rush into the formation, but Prophet Legion did not know this situation. They thought that all Leofric brought were Lion Territory cavalry, so they could only form a defensive formation...
With Horn Summon Ranger Corps's rangers watching, Prophet Legion didn't dare to retreat directly - he would definitely be chased from behind, and being chased by mounted archers would be very miserable.
The battle just now demonstrated Prophet Legion's powerful combat effectiveness, so Godric did not dare to attack directly...
As a result, both sides formed an array to confront each other several hundred meters apart, and no one acted rashly.
The battlefield formed a strange confrontation situation - if there weren't corpses and blood all over the ground, people who didn't know better would have thought that there was no fighting at all.
If the war really didn't start, then the current situation must be in line with the Lord's wishes - Prophet Legion's camp and food and grass were burned down, and they had no supplies.
However, Li Ang and Godric are now not sure whether they still need to eat - Dark Goddess can even resurrect from death, what if they can also achieve the freedom of living without food?
"If this consumption continues, will there be other dead people turned into Fallen One by them? After all, it seems that many people have died near their camp..."
The speaker is Kloze.
Yes!
The lord also thought that when the two sides approached before, Prophet Legion was arranging their army, and they could be seen from a distance hacking and killing the noisy men.
But why didn't anyone Fallen One get up near the burning camp when they were praying just now?
In other words, they cannot create Fallen One at will?
At this time, Sarah answered, "Probably not... Only those who believe in Dark Goddess can become Fallen One. What I mean is that they must devote their souls and flesh and blood to Only by dedicating them all to Dark Goddess can you get the so-called power... Moreover, if the soul is not sacrificed in the altar, those Fallen One will be useless. You have also seen that they will kill each other..."
"Sarah, have you seen these heretics?" Li Ang was a little surprised. "Then you didn't tell me about it before?"
"I've never seen Fallen One before... and it's not a glorious thing. When I was at Cliff Bay many years ago, I was almost tricked into becoming a believer in Dark Goddess!"
Sarah shook his head, showing a rare shy expression - this expression that often appeared on Ansen's face was really unbelievable when it appeared on Sarah's face.
"Deceived?"
Li Ang looked at Sarah in surprise. "? Being deceived by others? You didn't say the opposite, did you?"
"Sir, everyone has times when they are young and ignorant..."
Sarah's tone was a little low. "I was only eighteen years old at the time. I had just left my hometown not long ago, and I fell in love with a knight I shouldn't have liked. He was a believer of Goddess of Justice, and he was a decent person. Because of him, I also became a believer of Astalia - I didn't expect that a bard like me actually worships Goddess of Justice..."
"He taught me swordsmanship and once took me to an elf girl's auction... But that was the last time I was with him, and he suddenly disappeared after that."
"I thought he had abandoned me... Later in the pub, I met a woman who said he was a playboy and fell in love with someone else, and she said she could take me to him. I was so naive at the time that I believed her."
"Then I was taken to the swamp to the north of Misty Marsh Fortress, where there was a hidden lair. I heard Goddess of Justice's prayer there - this was a prayer he often recited, and I believed that he was indeed here..."
"But I didn't expect that it was a heretic group that seduced girls. What they believed in was darkness Goddess Eredar... I saw their altar."
"I knew that heretic believers would obtain power by sacrificing flesh and blood, so I was prepared. There, I learned that the darkness Goddess Eredar has no entity, no fixed appearance, and its statues have no faces. Heretical fanatic followers peeled off their skin After that, the power of God of Darkness can be added to them. Of course, this is just what I heard there. I actually never saw such heretics as Blood Oath Witch at that time, nor could I see their rituals with my own eyes..."
"Because I escaped quickly after seeing the altar full of flesh and blood... After all, I'm not the kind of ignorant girl who doesn't understand anything."
Sarah looked at the Lord with a wry smile, "It's just that at that time, all I could think about was that man, and I didn't observe too carefully... Later, I traveled around, and I actually wanted to find him... But now it seems that the heretic group I once encountered was probably helping Three Prophets find followers."
Li Ang sighed, "Sarah, the gang you met may not be looking for believers - based on your appearance, I think they are probably looking for skin! Fortunately you escaped... Otherwise, one of the Three Prophets we see now might look like you!"
Sarah took a deep breath.
This is indeed very possible...
"But what should we do now? It's not okay to waste it like this... If we continue to waste it, the morale of our team may get lower and lower. After all, we haven't slept all night. We are not sure about attacking... But I don't want them to run away. Li Ang, do you have any ideas?"
The one who spoke was Godric, who had joined Li Ang's team at some point.
We really can't let Three Prophets run away like this. With their abilities, as long as they don't die, they will probably be able to make a comeback soon - it's nothing more than reorganizing a pig-killing plate of seduction and brainwashing...
"Since Prophet Legion is worried about our 'cavalry'... let Baron Leofric and the rangers work harder and keep an eye on them from a few hundred meters away. Let's lead other troops first Long River Town. Anyway, it is unlikely that they will launch an attack. With a large number of 'cavalry' watching, they will definitely not dare to retreat like this..."
The Lord feels that it is easier to deal with now. At least he knows what the enemy is afraid of, and Three Prophets obviously can no longer summon Fallen One.
"But let the soldiers strengthen their confidence first... Sarah, go and tell the soldiers that these are the most evil devils. Their skins come from the women and children they killed, their property comes from the knights who were deceived, and 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."
Li Ang turned around, looked at the soldiers behind him, and signaled Sarah to go to the team to promote it first.
Godric also recruited Ralph and Charles, letting them lead the rangers to popularize the horror of the Prophet Legion in the coalition army.
Subsequently, the coalition troops divided into two groups, and the large army maintained its formation with the wounded and began to slowly advance towards Long River Town, while Leofric took his 'cavalry' to clean the battlefield, and Ralph's rangers patrolled behind the Prophet Legion.
Prophet Legion indeed kept the circular formation motionless, and just watched as the infantry array of the Union Army kept a distance of about 300 meters and bypassed them.
Both sides were on guard and no one took action. The coalition forces advanced slowly and cautiously, watching Prophet Legion move slowly. It took more than an hour to move four miles and arrived outside Long River Town.
Entering the city went smoothly, Amy had been negotiating with the garrison before.
However, as soon as he entered the city, the lord saw Amy coming towards him angrily. "Teacher, these guys are too selfish and are not willing to fight at all! It won't be troublesome at all to let you enter the city..."
