It was only then that the dozen or so lords suddenly woke up.
I immediately felt extremely regretful. In fact, for the lords, the crusade forces and those church heretics were not too friendly.
I originally wanted to gain wealth and honor in a dangerous situation, so I followed the giant city to defeat the military gangsters and was the first to break into the village, but I didn't expect that I would become cannon fodder.
Moreover, Kunir had no intention of hiding this. Facing the arrows and lances that were already aimed at them, these lords had no choice.
In fact, they thought wrong from the beginning, because it was the Calamity Raven Church that occupied Odo Village, while the crusade was passive in defending its own territory.
They preconceivedly labeled both sides as justice and injustice.
In fact, for both the Crusade Army and the Calamity Raven Church, the lords can only be regarded as a third-party fringe force. Not only are they unable to attract their attention, but they will instead be used by them.
But like Zong Shen did before, when he first showed off the identity card of Baron Bezos and the badge of the Dragonborn Knight, it was different.
In the final analysis, these guys still don't have a clear understanding of the aboriginal people.
Neither of these two parties is a soft-hearted guy. Needless to say, the church itself often plunders villages and kidnaps people.
They often do things like burning, killing and looting, and the rituals of the Calamity Raven Church are already considered to be relatively "harmonious".
If you encounter the kind of church that worships death, and there are almost endless rituals using blood and life as the medium, then it is truly treating human life as nothing.
Once it falls into the hands of such church heretics, not even a whole corpse will be left, and life is just a kind of material to them.
Needless to say, Kunir, although he is a knight squadron leader of the Lentatus Giant City branch of the Dragonborn Knights, as a senior knight, he has his own honor and principles.
But he is a knight commander who has experienced many battles. For him, there is no so-called mercy. When dealing with these illegal armed forces who come out of nowhere, letting them take the lead is a kind of atonement for them. opportunity.
To him, these dozen lords and the warriors they brought were all illegal armed forces, and their size was not small, and they were qualified to be surrounded and suppressed by the crusade.
These lords had no choice. They had no doubt that as long as they dared to say no to Kunir, what was waiting for them would be an attack from the surrounding crusaders.
Therefore, under Kunil's urging, these lords could only bravely enter the village with their men, most of whom were wolf cavalry, supplemented by some long-range third-level warriors.
The first echelon to enter the village formed, and the expressions of these lords were all serious.
Behind them were two hundred and forty light-armored swordsmen of Avalon, and behind them were the archers and mages, mainly dragonborn rangers and mages of the water and earth systems.
In addition, there is a group of fourth-level strong swordsmen who have already entered the village first.
The fourth-level Dragon Mages and the fourth-level Avalon Strike Crossbowmen were also looking for the commanding heights nearby.
However, the Dragonborn Knights led by Kunir did not take any action.
The terrain in the village is not suitable for knights to enter.
It would be more effective to let the infantry advance and use their numerical advantage to crush them.
Street fighting still has to be left to the infantry.
The magic trebuchets and military crossbows in the rear were still bombarding.
Especially the magic trebuchet seems to have been replaced with a brand new throwing ammunition.
It no longer appears purple, but a black metal sphere that will explode violently as soon as it hits the ground.
There are many metal steel balls inside, which will sweep out crazily, causing a wide range of damage.
The firepower of the trebuchet made the jackdaw and halberd warriors miserable.
Including the Raven's Tower, the building's solidity value continued to decline under the bombardment of positional crossbows.
The upper part of the tower was riddled with holes from crossbow bolts. If things continued like this, the entire Raven Tower might have been destroyed by military crossbows.
The advance of the ground front line was also very rapid. Under the bombardment of the trebuchets, the Jackdaw and Euphorbia warriors were unable to form a formation on the spot and could only retreat step by step.
Led by the dozen or so lords, the crusade army penetrated deep into the village. As the mages and archers entered the shooting range, the next climax had just begun.
The earth mage chanted the group's earth magic one after another. The earth shook non-stop, with thorns coming from the ground. Rocks rose up from the ground. The surrounding villages began to stagger around, making an overwhelming sound of collapse.
The houses in the village collapsed one after another, the earth continued to tremble, and all kinds of dust and debris were swept out as the houses collapsed.
Facing such an offensive, the church soldiers seemed unable to resist and kept retreating.
The entire infantry advance line of the crusade reached a depth of two to three hundred meters without encountering effective resistance.
Only occasionally some sharp arrows and magic bullets were fired, but the number was not large and could not cause effective damage to the infantry queue.
In response, there were multiple arrows and magic attacks each time.
The church archers and mages standing on nearby rooftops also retreated, and various attacks fell on the village houses, leaving holes in the roofs and walls.
The buildings in Odo Village are basically made of stone and wood, and their sturdiness is not very high. They are similar to the third-order stone houses in the lords' territories. They are enough to protect against wind and rain, but in the face of various third-order, fourth-order
The attacks of high-level shooters and mages are not enough.
After this battle, it is estimated that Odo Village will be razed to the ground. The buildings in the village cannot withstand the intensity of the attacks from both sides.
The natural formation of a village requires the development of a settlement for several years or even ten years.
But it doesn't even take a few hours to destroy it. Village-level units are as fragile as a piece of paper to these armed forces.
The leading lords looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't expect the attack of the crusade to be so strong. Especially the continuous retreat of the jackdaw and halberd warriors gave them a lot of confidence again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Kill!"
"Fight in!"
How could such an overwhelming offensive fail?
Immediately, the morale of these lords responsible for spearheading the advance was greatly boosted.
From the beginning, they were as dejected as if they were mourning for their heirs, but now they have become fanatics.
Originally, everyone was gathering together, trying to keep warm, which made the entire front line queue become extraordinarily tight.
Now that these lords saw that the progress was going so smoothly, they began to become fanatical again.
They shouted slogans one after another and rushed towards the village.
The originally tight front-end formation became looser, and the overall advancement speed became much faster.
The punitive troops behind them couldn't help but speed up their advance.
Kunir stood at the entrance of the village with the Dragonborn Knights, but frowned.
"It's really a bit vulnerable..."
He always kept an eye on the situation on the battlefield, and the crusading army had an absolute advantage in both melee and long-range combat.
Even in the temporary position, there are trebuchets and positional crossbows carrying out supporting attacks.
The advantage on the battlefield is extremely obvious. Looking at the Raven Church side, they are simply like chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow.
But Kunil still had some doubts in his heart. It was unreasonable for the opponent to be so vulnerable.
This is a very suspicious situation, but there seems to be no problem. After all, the battlefield advantages are on our side. If the other side does not escape and fight to the death, it will be a strange thing.'
Kunil shook his head. From the beginning of this action, he had a strange feeling.
Now that the army has fully entered the village, those fourth-level strong swordsmen even passed through the village paths and quickly penetrated into the center of the village. Everything seems to be a foregone conclusion.
…
At the same time, on the Raven Tower, Safuri stood on the top of the tower, motionless.
Looking at the surrounding villages and towns constantly collapsing.
"They are about to enter the range of the magic circle."
"Get ready to activate the magic circle."
"The energy of the four blood pools is enough to turn into thousands of blood chains, binding them."
Safuri said in a calm tone. She had almost killed the tens of thousands of ravens attracted by the Raven Tower, created four blood pools, and then used the remaining mithril and magic to build the Raven Tower.
materials to construct a magic circle.
As soon as the crusade enters the range of the magic array, the energy in the blood pools will be transformed into chains of blood under the guidance of the magic array, binding the enemy in a wide range for up to one minute.
After the time is up, these blood chains will explode, causing an additional explosion damage. Unless there are priests who master group dispersion magic in the crusade, it will be difficult to break free from the chains.
After her order was given, the deaconess behind her quickly conveyed the order through the raven, but half a minute passed and there was still no movement.
At this time, a raven flew up and landed on the deaconess' arm. She listened and her expression suddenly changed.
"Lord Saint..."
"The magic circle was destroyed..."
"The magic matrices around the four blood pools have been poached..."
"The area of damage is huge..."
"It's almost impossible to fix in a short... short period of time."
She said with a trembling voice, this was a heavy move they had prepared before.
A large magic circle that can bind thousands of people at once, but no one knows when it was destroyed.
"What? Poached?"
"How is this possible?"
"Before, the Raven Dome covered the entire village."
"Are you sure it was dug out and not blown up by a trebuchet?"
Raven Saint Safuri's expression also changed, and she quickly asked.
The deaconess nodded hard.
"According to the deacon below, all the materials used to build the magic circle have been dug away."
"Only the magic circles around the tower and a few more eye-catching locations in the village have not been destroyed."
"Someone should have sneaked into the village..."
Safuri's blue hair was calm and her eyebrows became sharp.
"Trash, it's all trash!"
"Someone sneaked into the village and poached the magic circle without even realizing it!"
Raven Saint Safuri rarely got angry, and this was one of her carefully prepared methods.
In fact, it has only been more than an hour since Zong Shen poached her magic circle.
Her blue hair was dancing wildly, and the surrounding open space instantly became several degrees colder.
"There is no other way but to activate the power of the raven in the warriors of the Apostle Regiment in advance."
Saint Safuli suddenly regained her composure, her eyes flashing with blue light.
The female deacon did not dare to say a word, and knelt on the ground, maintaining a devout posture of kowtow.
Under Safuri's body, the Raven Tower that was riddled with holes from the giant crossbow also lit up with a pale golden light.
This is the power of faith accumulated over the past few days, and the invisible force holds Safuri up.
Her whole body was intertwined with light golden light, which was also mixed with a part of blue-white frost magic.
This is the raven divinity in her body bursting out with power and the light golden power of faith coming together.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Safuri's sudden change made her like a rising little sun.
In an instant, it became the absolute center point of the entire Odo Village.
She sang softly, using herself as the medium to initiate a mysterious ritual of great scope.
Immediately all the church warriors were summoned, and they all accepted the raven baptism ceremony.
As Safuri sang, the power of the raven lurking in their bodies was also aroused.
Complex magic runes appeared on the surface of each warrior's body.
A series of mysterious runes flashed across his eyes.
The muscles all over the body are bulging, the veins are popping out, the heart is beating rapidly, and the blood flow rate has increased a lot.
All the potential in these warriors' bodies was stimulated at this moment.
In just a few seconds, all the church warriors were transformed.
Their body shape has not changed, and their whole bodies are surrounded by a strange magic power.
"roar!"
All the church soldiers stopped retreating and let out roars like wild beasts.
They no longer retreated, but turned back and took the initiative to meet them. The jackdaw and halberd warriors rushed towards the leading lords like hungry wolves.
The halberd in his hand was slashed horizontally, cutting down all the wolf cavalry in the front row to the ground.
Dozens of jackdaw and euphorbia warriors brazenly launched an attack on the crusade of hundreds of people.
Those wolf cavalry were cut down almost immediately after a confrontation. Although they were not directly killed, they were seriously injured and lost their combat ability.
When the halberd came down, their bodies were split open, leaving horrific wounds that exposed their internal organs, causing them to lose their fighting ability in an instant.
The giant wolf under their crotches roared and bit the arms of the jackdaw and halberd warriors fiercely.
I saw that the euphorbia warriors didn't care. They shook their arms and threw the giant wolves onto the village houses nearby.
Dozens of wolf cavalry did not bring any resistance to the advancement of these halberd warriors.
The spurge is stained with blood and is unstoppable.
Those lords had no power to fight back when faced with the sudden surge of jackdaw and halberd warriors!
