Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1703 1675. Sudden [Body Light]!
"Is that the thing?!"

Inside the command post, Foltest, John Natalis and others pointed at the only black smoke cloud left in the sky above the battlefield and shouted.

"Is that the damned thing, the dirty magic of the Nilfgaardians?!"

Fear, anger, fear, disbelief. There are too many extreme emotions in the hearts of the commanders of this battle. So much so that they can't speak calmly at all.

And for those soldiers who were on the battlefield and had brushed against that thing before, these emotions were even more profound.

Colonel Barclay Ayers, commander of the Mahakam Volunteer Army, was still with the Free Corps soldiers.

Adam Panglat, who was rumored to be dead, as well as Frondino and Little Beautiful Cat are all miraculously alive.

But their troops had suffered heavy losses at this time.

This included damage caused by forcing our way to the central defense line amidst the enemy's blockade, but this was not actually too serious.

The truly serious troop casualties occurred in just half an hour, or even just over ten minutes!
They only remembered that they led the troops, relying on courage and fighting will, to the central defense line as ordered, and then together with the rotten infantry regiment, they held out against the last wave of the Nilfgaardians' dying counterattack.

Logically speaking, it should really be a 'deathbed counterattack'.

But the real terror came after the Nilfgaardians' counterattack failed.

At that time, the only black smoke cloud left in the sky was mixed with the already gloomy weather and could not be found at all on the fierce battlefield.

The area of ​​influence spreading out from the black cloud was not condensed at all, revealing a slightly copper-green luster.

Therefore, in the eyes of Colonel Barclay Eyles and others, what happened was extremely abrupt and terrifying.

After the eastern defense line was breached, the impact of the breach had not yet been felt on the chaotic battlefield. Everyone's eyes were only focused on the fighting and the enemy in front of them.

Thanks to the so-called 'herald', he seemed to have sensed something was wrong before anyone realized what was happening on the eastern defense line.

Then he immediately pulled the dwarves and the free legions to evade the defense line.

At first, no one knew what he wanted the Legion to hide from, and he probably didn't know or was sure himself.

But the tactical avoidance worked anyway.

After evading, only about one-third of the Mahakam Volunteer Army and the Free Corps were affected by the thing, while most of the remaining troops on the central defense line were affected as a whole.

[Little Beautiful Cat] Julia felt that she might never forget today, or to be more precise, the feeling she just had until her death.

An invisible force swept over from behind her, almost brushing the braids on the back of her head and the back clasp of her bra!

To be precise, the force did not directly hit her, but the mere fact that it 'passed by' made her, a professional soldier who didn't care if the enemy sprayed blood on her face on the battlefield, feel a chill in her heart!
When she turned around, she heard the sounds of everyone behind her stumbling and falling to the ground.

Some people simply felt their legs go weak and they buried their heads into the ground.

Some people even ran a few steps, but in the end they fell down like weak shrimps.

[Little Beautiful Cat] Julia regretted it the moment she turned around, and her scalp went numb!
The look and expressions of those people, even with half of their faces buried in the ground, were still chilling.

They stared with their eyes wide open in a state of morbid panic, their eyeballs bulging out like water ghosts. Even when their faces were facing the dirt and gravel on the ground, they were unwilling to close their eyes.

Her mouth was clearly open, but she looked desperate as if she wanted to scream and cry out, but she didn't even have the strength to breathe.

The battlefield was already stinking.

The smell of blood, sweat, the stench of the internal organs after a person's stomach was cut open, and the stench of feces after the intestines were exposed and damaged.
One advantage of starting a war in cold weather is that these smells at least won't cause physiological damage to people like they would on hot days.

But in just a moment, the stench from this area was noticeably greater than that from the rest of the battlefield.

Because not everyone has the same strong mental strength and proud character as the sorceress, most of them become incontinent the first time.

Then, the collapse of the central defense line was a natural consequence.

There is an old saying among the people: Even if you are strong and healthy, if you squat in the toilet and have diarrhea five or six times, how fierce you can be?

And now, those people’s condition is definitely more serious than normal diarrhea!
My muscles were stiff, which was caused by the panic attack. But at the same time, I felt so weak that I almost died of exhaustion. I could hardly maintain the movement of my sphincter and respiratory muscles!
Such soldiers cannot hold any line or any defense.

Even if a million soldiers were deployed, it would only make the enemy feel uncomfortable when passing through the front line. What could they stop?
No wonder those fortresses and defense lines had been of no use to the Nilfgaardians' advance in the past week or so!

But at this moment, even if they knew the effect of the breakthrough ability that the Nilfgaardians had relied on since they resumed the war, what could they do?
The diarrhea has already ended, and now it's time to fight, but instead you think about why you have diarrhea?
No one here is so stupid.

Now if the Northern Alliance has no strategy to deal with this unknown thing, then it’s time for everyone to think about how to escape!

The outrageous "herald" from before disappeared after urgently commanding the troops to conduct tactical evasion. It is unknown whether he was enveloped by that power, or died or ran away.

The battlefield was in chaos, and no one cared about anyone else. I just hoped that the other party would report to the command post and find a way to deal with it.

Lan's appearance did indeed greatly boost morale and spirit on the battlefield across the board.

But for Barclay Els and his friends who had just escaped from the unknown thing, this was really limited. The power of this legendary demon hunter was indeed as exaggerated as the legend said.

But they had no idea whether it would work on that thing.

But when Qilin suddenly lost his footing, his originally powerful and unstoppable charge was interrupted.

When even the powerful and elegant blue and white horse itself turned into a messy gourd rolling on the muddy and dirty battlefield, the hearts of these people sank suddenly.

The [Little Beautiful Cat], who was the most frightened just now, almost ran out of the battlefield without looking back after this scene happened.

But the Free Corps' supreme commander, [Farewell] Adam Pangratt, grabbed her arm.

"Where are you going, Julia?"

"Where are you going?" The little beautiful cat really didn't even dare to turn his head, and only shouted, "Run for your life! Run for your life! Didn't you see? That [Hunter] has failed!"

"[Hunting Lord] failed? Are you scared silly?"

Julia was stunned by these two questions, and then she turned her head tentatively.

In her last vision, she indeed only saw Qilin lose its footing, and then, due to inertia, it fell and turned into a large rolling gourd.

She had seen this situation before when the troops were performing tactical evasion. Those soldiers who were suddenly frightened and exhausted were almost all in this state.

She had thought that Lord Hunter's horse, which was like the legendary unicorn, would be different, but apparently, the unicorn was unable to resist the Nilfgaardians' methods.

Julia could imagine the dirty and powerless scene that followed by comparing it to the soldiers in her own unit.

The unicorn would drown in its own excrement and then be slaughtered like a dead pig.

Normally speaking.

"What?!"

The little beautiful cat unconsciously uttered questions, and her eyes opened wide.

The unicorn, which had turned into a rolling gourd and plowed a large area of ​​hideous shock wave marks on the ground, was now shaking its head and standing up again as if nothing had happened!
It was as if the land that was crushed, torn, and crashed along the way, as well as the broken pieces of steel armor and weapons on it were all soft air!
It did take a few visibly breaths, but that was all.

The rune silk cloth on his body was torn into many holes, but underneath those holes, the white body with blue lightning patterns looked normal.

Instead, more pale mane burst out, and compared to the elegant and otherworldly temperament at the beginning, it seemed violent and dangerous!

Not only the Qilin, but also the flannel ball that landed lightly in the distance, although not very noticeable due to its size, just opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, panted for a few times, and then stood firmly, full of energy again.

The calico kitten nimbly jumped from the battlefield to the side of the Qilin, and stood on its head, holding onto the Qilin's horn.

"I felt something familiar just now, meow! Qilin, do you have this feeling?"

The kitten looked intently at the only dark cloud in the sky and the faint copper-green beam of light shining through it.

"Whoosh!"

Qilin snorted unhappily and shook the mane on his head.

Apparently, it had the same feeling at that moment just now.

However, one thing they both had in common was that they didn't care at all about Lan's safety who was enveloped by the beam of light.

"I'm a little curious now."

At the bottom of the copper-green light column, a voice came out in an orderly manner.

Not to mention that they were like the Northern Alliance soldiers before, whose panic attacks and loss of physical strength caused even the most basic physiological reactions to stop.

He didn't even take a breath!
"Where did you learn that trick?"

At the bottom of the pale copper-green column of light, Lan En stood in it and looked up at the dark clouds.

He raised one of his hands and then slowly clenched his fist!

"Crack!"

Smaug's gauntlets made a sharp sound of steel rubbing against each other as they were squeezed together.

The sound was like a knife scraping against a flint!
'Sparks' appeared from the fist, and then instantly burned all over Lan En's body!

A layer of light film was formed that was tiny, illusory, but real!

【Body light】!
