"In addition to businessmen, the residents of River Spirit are basically believers of the Scythe Bearer Church. It is an autonomous territory in name, governed by an autonomous assembly, and the police department is responsible for public security and defense. But in fact, the power here is completely controlled by the church in the center of the city.
, on the day we captured the city of Quimper, the noble legions from other cities in the rear quickly mobilized 20,000 people to garrison here."
"According to the latest news from our people, when the army entered the city that day, they saw people wearing priest robes entering the military camp in the middle of the night. They must be wizards who can participate in the war. There are ten of them. Do you have the confidence to fight against them?"
It was Julian who asked the question. Although he knew that Ian was invincible at the same level, he was in a one-on-one duel. Once the number of people was not dominant, he was not very optimistic about his own wizard.
He also knew that there were only four gifted people on his side in name, but in fact there were two viscount vampires and one gifted person, which could be roughly regarded as seven gifted people, but the opponent had ten people, so he would not naively think that
The opponent will send ten awakened ones to join the battle.
Shirley is the oldest and most powerful, so she should speak on behalf of everyone. But who makes Ian's record the most terrifying? Overtly and secretly, knowingly and unknowingly, he is close to more than a dozen gifted wizards and lords
The knight died in his hands. The moment Julian asked this question, everyone subconsciously looked at him.
Ian and Shirley looked at each other, and then said: "The most troublesome thing about the church is their fanatical believers. Those priests are so greedy for life and fear of death that they have nothing to fear. Most of the church wizards are transformed from devout believers, and their strength
They are weaker than us, so as long as they are caught by surprise, we can reduce their number by two immediately."
He said this not out of pride, but out of fact.
Most of the people on the main plane who are suitable for the wizard profession are suitable for the knight profession. They are basically the children of wealthy merchant families or noble blood. These people either refuse to send their children to learn wizards, or they can simply train them themselves. Monasteries and wizards
There is not much that the alliance can collect, let alone the church that is guarded by the royal family and nobles?
There are not many people in this world who desire eternal life, but there are quite a few who desire power.
As for the kings who are already at the pinnacle of power, if the time comes and they don't want to die, then they can either join the Nightingale Knights of the Wizards Alliance, or the Wizards Alliance will personally give him a ride.
Therefore, except for the extraordinary combat power of some fanatical believers, the wizards trained by the church basically have no deterrent effect on other priests.
As for fanatic believers, other wizards are afraid of them, but they are not afraid!
Julian also knew what Ian meant by asking the opponent to reduce their number by two people. If Alfo and Will acted quickly enough, they might be able to kill a few more.
But all this requires the other party to be willing to leave the military camp.
"This is best!"
He nodded and said "Thank you" to Shirley. Shirley immediately connected everyone with her mental power, and the terrain between the military camps of both sides immediately appeared in everyone's minds.
He then said: "The opponent has more people than us, but this is not Quimper. There is no plain suitable for large-scale battles. The only place suitable for defense and attack in front of the city is the hills. According to what we see now
Yes, these rolling hills just separate us from each other, and only here can accommodate thousands of people."
As Julian explained, the hilly terrain was enlarged, and everyone could clearly see the entirety of the hill. Although it stretched into the distance, there was only a small area of relatively flat land, which was where the river flowed in and out.
road.
Such a terrain is bound to be unable to accommodate too many people, so what they need to face is only a few thousand people.
"But even so, I can't say that our situation is good, because the opponent's defenders actually have more than 20,000 troops. We must win again and again until we kill them all, otherwise everything will be in vain."
When Julian said this, he did not notice the ugly expressions on the other sergeants' faces at all.
Four thousand people killed all 20,000 people. They only thought that there was something wrong with the legion commander's head.
Even wizards like Ian and the others think this is impossible.
Only Julian believed that the army he commanded should fight like this.
"Starting from tomorrow, Lord Albert will lead the legion to conduct a tentative attack to see the opponent's ability to cope. Except for Ian, the wizards do not need to play for the time being."
At night, some of Quimper's prisoners quietly came out of the military camp and prepared to escape.

Run, these people chose the right time and location. However, how could a mortal fool the wizard? Ian notified Julian to arrest them. After asking, he found out that these people turned out to be followers of the Scythe Bearer who had hidden their identities.
.
On the battlefield, they had no choice but to surrender, but when they arrived at River Spirit, they thought of escaping after seeing the army on the opposite side.
After asking this question, Julian didn't ask anything else at all. He called everyone together and hung these people directly at the entrance of the military camp, using this row of corpses to warn those with evil intentions.
Everyone also knows that this situation is inevitable. As long as there are prisoners, there will definitely be this problem.
It is unavoidable as long as the other party is not a fanatical believer.
The next day, despite Julian's arrangements, the wizard did not have to play.
But the people in Team 0502 knew that there must be fanatics in places like this. Last time, the lord knight brought them a full 140 points of income. If the leader of the other side's army is also a fanatic this time, he would be rich.
They insisted on participating, but Julian could not, which made the other three wizards puzzled.
The regiment of two thousand men rushed up the hill, with Ian and the others surrounded by Prescott's team at the front.
In order not to attract attention, they all put on the uniforms of Albert's Legion.
This position can be the first to discover fanatic believers. After paying attention to the pattern of bounties many times, they discovered that as long as these three types of people, fanatic believers, evil believers, and divine envoys, exist within a thousand yards of them, Hunter Obelisk can detect each other and
Marked, very effective.
The reason why they were so close was to see if they could catch the wizard who ran out.
As wizards, they know exactly how to find the right position on the battlefield.
That is to sit in the rear, connect the vision of the legion commander and senior knights, and guard them against hidden arrows from everywhere.
If you have enough energy, you can contact other wizards to cast spells and provide recovery magic for exhausted sergeants.
Wizards like the Awakened Ones can play a guest role as military doctors, using healing techniques to save fatally injured soldiers and ensure that their precious limbs or other organs are intact.
As long as the opponent's legion has such an arrangement, then Alfo and Will will be able to find an opportunity to send them to death.
As predicted yesterday, the flat road on the hill was very narrow, and the capacity to accommodate 4,000 people was already the limit. Yuri sent out all his strength, but the opponent also only sent out 2,000 people.
Ian maintained the contact between Yuri Albert and the senior knights and some important officers, while Shirley, who was more mentally powerful, was responsible for detecting whether there were wizards on the other side.
Although the first-class fanatics have hunter's obelisk to remind them, not all the church's priests are so pious.
Both sides were running up, and they met when they were almost at the top. Then rows of soldiers began to charge, raising their swords and slashing at the enemy.
There was a constant clanging sound for a while, but the sound of the sword was instantly drowned out by the shouting.
A battle of this level is very dangerous for ordinary soldiers, but for Ian and others who are escorted by the knights, it is nothing.
However, he still told Scott and others to restrain their strength and not draw too much attention, so as not to expose the existence of the wizard.
The formation continued to advance, and Yuri Albert rushed forward with his bodyguards.
The commander of the opposing legion saw the brilliant fighting spirit in the crowd from a distance, and a large number of soldiers were knocked away and trampled by the cavalry. He suddenly became anxious and cursed: "Will there be a war? Are you seeking death by taking action so early?"
After scolding each other, if they allowed the other side to continue wreaking havoc in the front army, they would definitely lose today, so they hurriedly summoned the guards to rush forward.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say to the person next to him dressed as a bodyguard: "Sir, if there is a wizard, remember to remind me!" It turned out that the other person was a priest in disguise.
This is not Yuri Albert's fault, because this is the Second Army's style of play, and there is never such a thing as a step-by-step approach on the West Coast. Every attack by the Kraken is a matter of life and death for the defense. Once they fail and retreat, the next time they retreat,
It must be snatched back at double the price.
In order to prevent the Kraken from landing, the entire west coast defense line cannot retreat even a step.
Therefore, in every battle, there are high-level knights
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, high-level wizards take the lead, and their fighting style is the most direct and brutal.
Clapham has controlled the Second Army for centuries. This style of play has penetrated into the bones of all soldiers. As the commander-in-chief, Clapham naturally never forgets it. She had already emphasized this when forming the Third Army.
The monastery does not want to fight a protracted war. Either the church dies or you die. There is no choice.
This also makes it impossible for those lord knights to hide behind the legion and strategize. No matter how big or small the war is, they can only take the lead and lead the charge.
Shirley, who always pays attention to the other person, immediately noticed this abnormality. After marking this person, Jasmine understood and raised her hand to shoot an arrow.
This time she used ordinary arrows, but with the mental power to aim, it was not something that a mortal could avoid.
The guard officer raised his head sharply, staring straight at the arrow, with a slight sweat breaking out on his forehead.
bite!
Another knight next to him split the arrow with one stroke, but the other knight did not find Jasmine's position. When her mental power came, she had already put the long bow back into the magic ring.
"Confirmed, he is a wizard, but he is not a fanatical believer. I just don't know if he is a spokesperson."
Shirley's voice rang in everyone's minds.
She then said to Yuri Albert: "Captain Albert, the opponent's army only has one wizard at the rear for the time being. We have decided not to take action. You must deal with it carefully."
Yuri heard what he could say.
Could he say why you helped Julian but not me? He would definitely not say such self-indulgent words, and he would not have time to say it.
Because the opponent's lord knight also came immediately with his people.
Ian and others slowly leaned back, not using any magic, relying entirely on Prescott and the knights to protect them, in order not to alert the enemy and quietly wait for the opponent's fanatic followers to come out.
Of course, this fight was fruitless. At dusk, the exhausted two sides retreated, leaving bodies lying on the ground with no one to bury them.
The next day, Cronin's army and another group of 2,000 people from the other side stepped on the corpses and started fighting again.
Ian and others were looking for fanatics in the front army as usual, and this time they finally found a high-ranking knight who had been marked and offered a reward of 30 achievement points.
The prayer mark on the opponent's forehead was looming, and the senior knights beside Julian were unable to parry the opponent.
Shirley took the opportunity to send a message to him, asking him to cooperate with Ian to kill the opponent.
Ian has already appeared on the battlefield several times, so the other party will not be surprised by his appearance.
Therefore, Prescott and Dorn were divided into two groups. Dorn led three intermediate knights to cover Ian and touched him. He seriously injured the opponent with an unexpected Soul Residence Cut, and then the senior knight found an opportunity to cut him off.
Head, headless corpse fell off the horse stiffly.
Cracks appeared in the space above the battlefield, and the sound of singing could be heard faintly.
"Order everyone to bow their heads!"
Ian activated the summoning technique of the undead, and at the moment the black hole appeared, he transmitted a message to Yuri Albert.
Yuri was stunned for less than half a second, and immediately shouted around: "Everyone bows their heads, everyone bows their heads!"
After saying that, he lowered his gaze and took a step back. Although he didn't know why Ian asked him to do this, he was right to listen to the wizard.
The enemies didn't know why yet, but when they saw the souls of fanatical believers appearing on the battlefield and about to perform a great spiritual ascension ceremony, their morale suddenly increased greatly. On the other hand, their own morale dropped.
They looked up and stared at their souls, and also noticed the black hole appearing in the sky.
Looking at it curiously, I suddenly felt as if my whole body was about to be sucked in.
And this is also true. The souls of everyone who looked at the black hole were all separated from their bodies and were sucked into it without any resistance. Hundreds of people died.
The scene of souls flying all over the sky is really weird.
All this happened in just a blink of an eye, and then Ian's hand grabbed the soul and threw it in with all his strength.
The black hole disappears, and so does the gap and the song.
But the battlefield was eerily silent, as if time had been frozen.
