Riding and Slashing

Chapter 121 The Powerful Three Prophets
Unexpectedly, the prayers of the Goddess of Justice are also applicable to the Goddess of Darkness!
The kiss of the goddess will drive away the god of death and bring hope of life, and the warrior swears in blood to honor 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 Goddess of Darkness they worship represents justice...

Fight for justice?

I'm afraid those heretics think so too!They may think that they are the party of justice!
Because, the Goddess of Justice, Astalia, is incapable of resurrecting those who died in battle!
This prayer, used on the Goddess of Darkness, seems to be more in line with the actual situation...

These heretics demand death on the battlefield, which is regarded as an oath with their own blood.And the Goddess of Darkness did drive away the god of death, gave them the hope of life, made these guys who had lost their lives stand up again, and gave them the power of berserk and the courage to not fear death at all!
It's just that it probably also deprived them of another thing at the same time-these people seem to have lost their minds.

Or rather, they gave their souls.

Godric also saw this scene, and he naturally understood that it might be impossible to fight a war of attrition safely!The three prophets can actually bring people back from the dead!
"Get rid of them!"

Godric issued an order with a face full of horror, but the soldiers behind him hesitated for a moment-no one has seen such a scene before, it's terrible!

Soon, several men tore off a large amount of skin from their bodies, turned into a lump of red flesh, picked up the weapons on the ground, and began to chop and kill the people around them.

But they seemed to have completely lost all consciousness—they were cutting along with their own people...

Li Ang just led people to chop off the heads of two or three fallen people, gathered his own recruits into the team, and then saw several fallen people hacking and killing each other, he immediately stopped the team and started to retreat.

It seems that the resurrection technology of the three prophets is not very perfect... These "fallen people" seem to be indistinguishable from each other?
That's right, if these fallen ones could be completely controlled, then the Three Prophets would have already become the Three Queens!
More and more men in underwear stood up and screamed, tearing off their own skin, and then killed each other...

These fallen people who don't distinguish between enemies and friends can't cause any effective kills, but in any case, these fallen people really scared the coalition army.

After all, things like this kind of resurrection from the dead, and then forming a group to shed their skin, seem really scary...

Hundreds of devils with only red flesh and blood are fighting each other unconsciously, and the whole battlefield looks like a real hell.

Although the troops of the United Army are all from the frontier, and the frontier soldiers who have been fighting for a long time have good courage and courage, the problem is that the enemies they have faced in the past are basically humans, or occasionally deal with a few Noldor elves. Besides, it looks human.

But those in front of me are not human no matter how you look at them...

Not to mention these soldiers, the lord felt a little guilty looking at them.

"Back...back! Avoid them! Stay away from them all!"

Li Ang yelled loudly, stopped the coalition army that was about to go forward, and led the team back quickly to a position where there were no corpses.

Right now, the soldiers of the United Army were a little hesitant, and they were not rushing fast, and when they heard the voice of the lord, most of them stopped in their tracks.

"Lord Godric, let the whole army retreat!"

Seeing that Godric also seemed to be stunned, Leon rushed to Godric and shouted: "Don't let the troops pass by, they are killing each other!"

Godric reacted immediately, and immediately used the command flag to order the troops to stop advancing and retreat slowly.

But when a large army of 500 men is advancing, if it is ordered to retreat, it will definitely disrupt the formation.

This is not a modern army that has received long-term queue training, but a mixed army from five lords, so naturally it can't do it like a finger.And it was planned to besiege before, so the queue was wide open.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the United Army hesitated just now... Otherwise, they would have rushed up and would not even be able to take it back.

But now, the coalition's formation is still a little messed up.

But at this moment, the prayers covering the battlefield stopped abruptly.

The 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 in blue-gray armor rushed out.

These were two hundred flayed men in heavy blue-gray armor, but without a speck of skin on their heads.

Perhaps the fire in the camp destroyed their black cloaks and burqas, and they appeared directly on the battlefield, all without helmets.

At first glance, apart from wearing armor, they look no different from those fallen people who are killing each other!
If I had to say something different, it might be that the flesh and blood of fallen people who had just shed their skin looked brighter red. After all, the blood on their bodies was still flowing...

As for those heavily armored female soldiers without skin, their heads already looked dry reddish brown.

And these women were wearing heavy armor, but they ran fast—they launched a fast charge when the formation of the United Army was disrupted!
The heavy armor on them looks like it must weigh at least fifty pounds, but they can still charge faster than most adult men!

And behind them, the Legion of the Prophets dispersed into more than 100 squads based on the Doom Introducer, and spread out at an unimaginable speed, rushing over behind those skinless heavy armored female soldiers!
The distance between the two sides was only 300 meters, and such a charge only took a few tens of seconds. The formation of the coalition army was not very neat, and it was too late to regroup.

"Meet the enemy!" "Block them!"

There were a lot of shouts in the coalition army. These experienced border troops knew that this situation must not retreat, and they must fight against the enemy!

They used to line up in units of knight squads before, and now they are also forming a formation to meet them head-on.

Ralph's rangers were also divided into more than a dozen formations, and began to patrol the two sides—they were horse archers, and cavalry and archery were their housekeeping skills, and fighting hand-to-hand would not be worthwhile.

At this time, Godric's archers were still relatively forward. Facing the rapid charge of the Prophet Legion, they had to retreat after only firing two rounds of arrows. The knight formation went forward to resist the charge. Here come the heavy armored skinners.

These spontaneous responses were all correct, but the only problem was——as teams of knights faced the enemy head-on, the already somewhat irregular array suddenly became very sparse!

And those bad luck guides led the female soldiers to run wildly all the way. After the two sides fought, they did not attack the troops in the front row, but directly bypassed the heavy armor skinned monsters in front of them, and penetrated through the gap of the joint army!
Then, each female soldier squad directly faced a formation of knights—they obviously wanted to fight the coalition army into the smallest unit of hand-to-hand combat in an all-round way!
It seems that the Legion of the Prophets clearly knew that the Corrupted would kill each other uncontrollably. Their weird ritual was not for the Corrupted to kill the United Army, but for this moment!
They first gathered together, waiting for the coalition forces to spread out and surround them;

Then let those underwear men rush over to die, and then summon the fallen on the battlefield to disrupt the formation of the coalition army;

Then took the opportunity to charge and turn the battlefield into a melee!

The ability of the Three Prophets to respond temporarily is really very strong!
Judging from the previous behavior of those Doom Introducers, 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 the Doom Introducer, the IQ or knowledge level of those female soldiers should not be too high, they are just good at seducing and deceiving men - girls who are really smart or knowledgeable will not be deceived like this, Don't even want a face.

But judging from the lord's personal experience, the personal combat effectiveness of these misfortune guides is indeed very strong-and they are not afraid of pain, and probably not afraid of death.

In terms of their skills and the state that they are not afraid of pain or death, the Prophet Legion must be very happy to break into a melee situation!
People who don't feel pain may lose their self-protection ability against danger, but in a melee state, people who don't feel pain are very scary-as long as they are still alive, no matter how injured they are, they have [-]% fighting power!

Moreover, the cultists who have been brainwashed by heresy must have a terrifying fighting will...

Using hundreds of cannon fodder without equipment has achieved such a result, which must be quite cost-effective for the Prophet Legion!

The battlefield suddenly turned into the melee that the three prophets wanted, and the three prophets' coping method was obviously very effective - a team of six or seven people led by the doom attractor was able to form a formation with a knight in the melee. More than a dozen men fought hard!
Li Ang and his team did not disperse, and no bad luck guide found them.The doom guide targeted those knight formations, and no one rushed to his team of hundreds of people to find excitement.

But 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 guard of more than 100 people led by Amy is guarding Godric.

The heavy infantry from White Hart Castle withstood the skinners, and some rangers and sentries from Longhe Town supported them.

And all the other troops, including Ralph, were already using the knights as units, and they were fighting with the squads brought by bad luck.

It seems fair-the formation of more than 100 knights just happened to meet the team led by more than 100 doom guides...

And the three prophets were very conspicuous riding on tall horses at this time. They stood in place and were not close to the battlefield. There were only a hundred people behind them, but they were obviously better equipped.

It seems that this is the cronies of the Prophet Legion who were in charge of organizing the army when the fire broke out and beheading disobedient people.

They seemed to be staring at Godric's flag, but they didn't get close. After all, Godric now has a large army of more than 200 people.

Godric also saw the Three Prophets: "Leon, do you think we are confident in dealing with the people around the Three Prophets?"

The lord shook his head directly: "I feel that we can only fight in a scuffle if we rush over..."

"I think so too..." Godric pointed to those skinless female monsters who didn't know if they were human: "Are those wearing heavy armor also fallen? They look like some skinned women." ?”.

"That's what I saw in their camp before, probably the blood-sworn witch who swore to the God of Darkness and abandoned her body to pray for strength..."

Li Ang replied while observing the situation on the battlefield.

"But those blood-sworn witches don't seem to be crazy..."

Godric looked at the few fallen who were still killing each other, and then at the blood-sworn witches.

"Those blood-sworn witches are not only not crazy, but they can also patrol in groups and talk...Maybe they are completely different from these fallen ones. 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-sworn witches! After destroying those heavy monsters, the rangers and archers will be able to rule the battlefield!"

"Amy, stay away... Li Ang, you are in charge of keeping an eye on the Three Prophets' team, and it's okay to lure them away, don't let them enter the battlefield!"

Godric seemed to have strengthened his confidence and made a decision to lead the guards to destroy the group of heavily armored female soldiers first.

He has also seen that the strongest combat power of the Prophet Legion is the Doom Introducer and the Blood Oath Witch - and they are particularly good at individual combat.

Each Doom Introducer is slightly stronger than the average Mettenheim Great Swordsman, and 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 still not losing the wind!

And the power of the blood-sworn witch looks extremely terrifying-their power definitely exceeds that of Klose, and may even be comparable to the 'noisy man' Alaric that Leon once encountered!
It's just that none of the blood-sworn witches wore helmets, and their combat skills were far from those of the doom ushers.

However, the heavy armor on them obviously has a very high defensive power, and the rangers' arrows can't even shoot through them!

You know, the bow used by the Horn to summon the Ranger Group is the famous Eagle Strike Bow—this is a first-class strong bow, each of which is a family heirloom of the Ranger Group members, not for sale!

Unless you shoot the blood-sworn witch's head without the protection of a helmet, it's hard to kill them!
But such a situation of melee clearly does not support the careful aiming of the Rangers and Changhe Sentinels.

In hand-to-hand combat, their strength advantage is particularly terrifying.

These scary-looking guys hold two-handed sabers, and they can often cut through shields with a single swing, and can even easily knock the infantry's weapons into the air.

There are only more than 200 heavy infantry in the combined army. They are obviously not the opponents of the blood-sworn witches. Now they are barely resisting with the support of some rangers and Changhe town sentries.

Li Ang also thought that there was no problem with Godric's decision. Except for the blood-sworn witches, the remaining troops of the Prophet Legion only wore chain armor or leather armor.

If those Bloodsworn Witches can be killed, the Rangers of the Horn Call and the Archers of White Hart Castle can be freed from the melee, and then they can organize long-range firepower to clear the battlefield.

And the Three Prophets had been staring at Godric, and seeing Godric leading the team to besiege the Blood Oath Witch, they also rushed towards Godric's banner.

"Amy, you go to Changhe Town, let the garrison go out of the city to support, and I will deal with the troops of the Three Prophets!"

The lord looked at the position of the three prophets on the opposite side: "It stands to reason that the Changhe Town garrison can see the situation here... ask them why they don't fight!"

Indeed, the figures on the city wall of Changhe Town can be seen here, and they can barely be seen at a distance of about four miles, but they can't see clearly.

Besides, the fire was so obvious before, but Changhe Town has never had any troops out of the city to meet the reinforcements!
Amy knew that Li Ang didn't want her to be in danger, and she was not the kind of willful girl. After she nodded to express her understanding, she took a few guards and rode around in a big circle, avoiding the battlefield and going to Changhe Town. .

And Li Ang led the team around an arc, blocking the three prophets before they joined the battle group.

"Brothers, shoot the arrows!"

The lord will not charge in a foolish way, he started to let the archers shoot arrows after nearly a hundred meters away.

Such a long distance would definitely not cause any effective combat results, but it successfully attracted the attention of the three prophets.

There are more than a dozen bad luck guides under the three prophets, and the other 80 trusted female soldiers also look calm and indifferent, obviously they are their elite troops.

There are a hundred or so people on both sides, it seems evenly matched?
But these women are neither afraid of death nor pain, and their combat effectiveness cannot be viewed with common sense, so Li Ang does not intend to head-on.

He just wanted to hold them back.

However, there are only three prophets and those doom bringers riding fast horses, and those trusted female soldiers are all infantry archers. If you can get them out of touch, maybe you can fight a dozen?
And after the three prophets noticed that Li Ang's team was shooting arrows, they did launch a fierce charge at them immediately - the three prophets went into battle in person, and rushed over with the bad luck guides.

"Are you so direct? Brothers, back off!"

The lord led the team and ran away, looking back while running, planning to retreat for a short distance first, and then try to besiege the three prophets.

But then, he saw a terrible scene...

It was a knight, probably one of Godric's subordinates, who had just noticed the Three Prophets after he had dealt with a Doom Introducer.

Taking advantage of the three prophets charging towards Li Ang and not paying attention to him, the knight charged one of the prophets from the side with a lance.

But after seeing him, the prophet holding a huge broadsword just waved his hand, and the knight who had already rushed in front of her was thrown away with a single blow!
Yes, this fully armed knight was thrown several meters away by that casual knife!

Blood sprayed in the air, spattering the seer's armor.But the death of the knight didn't even stop the prophet from charging, it seemed like he had slapped a mosquito to death!
This kind of combat power is too terrifying, Li Ang feels that he is definitely not an opponent...

　Remark some values ​​in the game as a reference:
　　Human limit strength: 39 (this is the strength of an adventure hero. It is assumed in the book that Klose is also close to 39, which is the limit of human beings. The general knight, that is, the top arms, has a strength between 24-27)

　　Bloodsworn Priestess Power: 57
　　The lowest level of fallen power: 57 (as long as it is of the nature of the fallen, the strength is above 57)

　　Power of the Three Prophets: 138 (This is the highest power stat in the entire game. In fact, the panel stats of the Three Prophets are also the strongest in the entire game. The full proficiency is 650, and they are equipped with dragonbone axes as standard... These three witches can In the player team, Wushuang is actually stronger when they get off the horse than when they are on the horse.)
