Chapter 234: Troll Magic: Another Glorious Victory
Hearing Hildreth's stern words, Priest Rong En's face suddenly became solemn and he was filled with admiration.

No wonder Steward Hilde's deployment in this battle was so strange. From the perspective of the war with the river trolls alone, it was indeed not the best choice. Our side paid a more tragic price and finally defeated these river trolls with great difficulty.

But if we consider it from a global perspective, the deployment of General Hildes is undoubtedly the best. Only by giving this crazy woman hope of defeating the cavalry can she have a chance to come out from under the river bank.

If the cavalry were to scatter, coming like the sky and leaving like lightning, tearing the river trolls apart and turning it into a massacre, then this crazy woman would never dare to come out.

However, even though it has been successfully lured out from underwater, defeating it is by no means an easy task.

As a river troll witch, it is covered in foul-smelling swamp goo, which gives it the ability of [Natural Defense]. The thick mucus not only protects it from a lot of damage, but also makes the enemy's weapons slide when attacking, reducing the effectiveness of the attack.

Moreover, she has a [pungent stench]. If you think this witch stinks from a long distance, you might as well wait until they get closer. Within 30 meters, it can make the opponent unable to open their eyes, and the melee power cannot be fully exerted.

So Ron decisively said to Hildurd, "Sir, this terrifying monster is not only powerful in close combat, but also can spray filth and use magic. You must be careful."

Hildurde said decisively, "It's using its magical abilities to inspire its allies. If it grants the surrounding trolls the ability to [Fight to the Death], we'll suffer heavy casualties. We must minimize unnecessary casualties. Stay away. I'll kill it. Patriarch Ron, command the army to hunt down the remaining trolls immediately. We must annihilate this river troll warband."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hildre's blood surged, and she entered the state of an extremely majestic general. At the same time, the powerful perfect-level witchcraft mask on her body released the magic of [Incarnation of the Knight of Fear]. An invisible halo of fear surrounded her majestic general posture, which instantly unlocked the dual magical damage of [Causing Fear] and [Causing Terror]. Even among the powerful demons, only the bravest ones dared to face this terrifying scene.

The morale and courage of the river trolls were not only far lower than those of humans, but even lower than those of demons. When they saw this majestic god who was over thirty meters tall, with the dazzling golden light on his body, they felt the fear of a lonely human facing the sun in the universe. Some of the river trolls were so frightened that they could not hear any sound at all and could only flee desperately.

They have only one target in their eyes, and that is the turbulent Blackwater River. Only by escaping into the river can they have a chance of survival.

The river troll witch was also frightened by the sudden appearance of the God's Chosen Knight and trembled all over. When the knight entered the God's Chosen stage, her own four divine arts and four bloodline abilities, when used in turn, the skill changes were no weaker than those of a high-level wizard.

Although the bloodline ability is disabled after the divine general state is activated, the four divine arts are still effective.

Moreover, in such a terrifying state of a god general, the power of his melee attacks is also extremely astonishing.

At least the River Troll Witch knew very well that she could never defeat a knight who had activated the God General state in close combat.

So it decisively used the river troll witch's unique racial ability [Mad Woman], and then bombarded the target with a bunch of incomprehensible troll-style insults. The power was so strong and the language was so harsh that even the toughest people would be scared.

This effect is very effective against knights, and will reduce their charge speed and movement speed by at least 6%.

As long as it can outlast the Knight's God General status, it can turn the situation around and even gain the upper hand!

At this time, the Knights Legion no longer cared about anything else and decisively blew the majestic horn. The imperial horns were raised one by one, and the majestic and loud sound resounded throughout the battlefield.

Then thousands of horse hooves rumbled across the battlefield, and thousands of knights, illuminated by the light of the divine general, rode out on horseback and launched a full-scale attack.

The combat power of the Demi-Griffin Knights of the Vengeful Sun is so terrifying. Their huge lances and halberds are designed to fight against large creatures. As the top troops in the empire, they penetrated more than a dozen fleeing river trolls with a single charge.

Then the mighty divine guidance arrow crossed a distance of dozens of meters and fiercely shot through the broad and fat chest of the river troll witch, physically interrupting its spell casting. Because of this huge divine power, it directly knocked its body more than ten meters away, and then fell heavily to the ground, creating a deep pit of more than three meters.

If it didn't have webbed limbs, it wouldn't be able to pull itself out of the mud.

However, this time it was stuck in the mud and fell into a very passive position, because the Battle Ram Cavalry finally arrived at the front of the battlefield and blew the thunder horn.

This muddy battlefield is extremely unfavorable for the Battle Ram Cavalry, because both the Battle Rams and the Dwarves have extremely high body density. This is certainly beneficial for them to move on the steep ridges and gain a firm foothold, but it is extremely easy for them to sink deep into the mud, so they have difficulty moving and their movement speed is very slow.

But sometimes there is a blessing in disguise. Because they arrived so late, the Thunder Horn was blown even later. When the dwarf's heroic spirit Ankor Redbeard was summoned from the Thunder Gate in the sky, it was exactly the moment when the river troll witch was smashed heavily into the mud.

So the burly and heavy dwarf landed directly beside the river troll witch, picked up the sharp thunder axe and chopped at the monster's sticky body. The sharp axe instantly cut through the monster's two or three meter belly, revealing the disgusting and greasy fat and a large amount of acid inside.

Even the tough and rough skin of the peak God-chosen Dwarf Heroic Spirit was burned into pieces by the acid.

Then the River Troll Witch decisively used another racial talent, [Acid Bile], and almost instantly launched an overwhelming mass of disgusting green and yellow mixed acid bile. This bile was extremely corrosive and caused serious damage to the dwarf's armor and flesh.

This was probably the first time this High-ranking Chosen Dwarf Heroic Spirit had been severely wounded by a monster after being summoned. If there had been a health bar, it would have been obvious that Ankor Redbeard's health had been drastically reduced. However, the River Troll Witch, relying on her powerful regenerative abilities, gradually restored a significant amount of health. This was also a hallmark of the trolls; their wounds always healed quickly, unless they were inflicted by fire or other special weapons.

Unfortunately, Ankor Redbeard's Thunder Axe did not have any fire ability, and Hirud did not have any weapons in his hands. They could only fight with all their might and try their best to smash the monster to pieces.

As a result, the intensity of the fighting on the battlefield increased dramatically. Even on the walls of Hesse Castle, one could see the fierce fighting in the north. The fighting was so fierce that the sky was collapsing and the earth was shaking.

Thousands of knights and monsters were fighting each other, golden flames kept erupting, red blood stars were flowing, and the battlefield with mountains of corpses and seas of blood was full of dark battles. Countless blood was splashing, and a large number of broken limbs were chopped into the air.

On this bloody battlefield, the battle between Hildurde in the state of God General and the spellcaster River Troll Witch was undoubtedly the most intense.

From time to time, they would burst out with golden, green, and even purple flames. Brilliant attacks and majestic sword energy kept flying over the battlefield. The collision of their huge bodies caused the earth to shake violently every time. Those attacks and hammer blows that missed the target, once they hit the ground, caused the earth to be torn apart. Countless cracks several meters deep spread from the center of the battle in all directions.

Su Li nervously grasped the city wall, staring at the battlefield without blinking.

The person fighting fiercely on the battlefield is the most important person in this world!
It was not until this moment that he realized that not only was Hildreth inseparable from him, but he had actually been inseparable from Hildreth for a long time.

When the real decision came, he realized that what he cared about most was Hildreth, and no one could compare to her status.

If Hildurd really died on the battlefield, it would mean that one of the pillars of his rule had fallen, and it was the most powerful pillar, which might even make his rule shaky.

As a terrifying God-chosen spellcaster, the River Troll Witch's combat power far exceeded anyone's pre-battle imagination. Not only was its skin and flesh tough and incredibly resilient, but it was also surprisingly slippery and agile. Hirud managed to grab hold of its body and swing it, hammering it into the ground, but after every few swings, it would slip away.

So much so that Hildur had to give up this time-wasting method and rely entirely on the divine power of the [Master of Combat] to unleash the martial arts of Her Majesty Violet, attacking the monster fiercely with punches, elbows, kicks and other means again and again.

One of the side kicks even smashed the entire head of the river troll witch crooked, breaking a large number of teeth and one of its eyes completely blown out. Su Li even suspected that the river troll's neck was actually broken and its head drooped like a rag bag.

But this terrible river troll witch did not die, and was still struggling to survive. Even despite being constantly beaten, she successfully used a [Scroll of Absorption] to greatly limit Hildur's ability to sense God's grace.

This tattered, dirty and filthy scroll can secretly absorb various essences, including bloodline abilities and divine grace abilities.

Hildre could sense that her divine general status could not last much longer, and the interval between uses of the divine spell [Divine Guidance Arrow] was greatly increased due to the intervention of this scroll. She had to fight under the scorching sun for a longer time before she could gather the divine power to release the [Divine Guidance Arrow] once.

The shining black gem on the jet wand in the monster's hand was stained with stains, allowing its bearer to use more magical winds and release magic more quickly.

The magic of this river troll witch is extremely disgusting. It has a unique spell [Life Siphon]. A wizard who learns this death magic can create a purple magic channel between the target and himself, and continuously absorb the target's life for himself.

This, combined with its regeneration ability, makes it extremely tenacious. It can even swing the broken net filled with filth and dead things on its shoulders to fight Hilde in close combat.

Every time the net exploded, it would spray out a large amount of pungent liquid filled with the stench of death, making Hildex's attacks sluggish.

At this time, the River Troll Witch will patrol and use its most powerful spell [Swamp Breathing]. This is the most terrifying ability of the Troll Witch, which can ensure that the trolls eat all creatures that break into their swamp, no matter it is alive, dead, or horribly rotten. Their bad breath is the best proof of this.

This single-target spell can inflict terrible damage to enemy units.

However, with Hildreth's tenacity and strong steel-like protection, she is actually not too afraid of this explosion spell. As a powerful knight, she has a soul of burning steel and a strong physique. Even if she is seriously injured, she can still beat the caster.

In fact, the two magics that Hildurd hates the most are [Troll Brain] and [Great Cleverness].

Under the guidance of the crude magic of Trollmind, even the most experienced warriors would quickly find themselves hopelessly lost, standing there, bewildered. Several times, under the influence of this magic, Hirudde froze in place for a while, almost letting her opponent go.

This isn't even considered curse magic; even Tears of Mercy can't cleanse it.

As for [Great Wisdom], the River Troll Witch lazily gestured with a curved staff, amplifying and elevating the minds of those around her, granting them a clearer understanding of the world. Whenever this spell was used, the surrounding River Trolls became exceptionally fierce and fearless, swarming frantically towards Hilde.

The reason why these two spells are tricky is that they will waste a lot of Hildur's divine time. If the divine time is over and Hildur has not killed the river troll witch, the human cavalry will suffer heavy losses and can only rely on successive attacks to defeat this monster.

The key is that at that time, the true power of the caster is revealed. It can change the battlefield through [Filthy Torrent] and show how hungry the trolls are through [Greedy Request], causing them to suddenly burst out with huge vitality and strength, causing a terrible blow to the enemy.

At that time, with the blessing of the river troll witch, the monsters would frantically swing their huge stone hammers and smash around. Even the imperial knights wearing plate armor would not be able to withstand the blows of their huge bodies. Their internal organs would be shattered and many would die in battle.

Looking at the fierce and tense battlefield, Su Li clenched his fists and said, "We desperately need God's Chosen weapons. If Hirud only had a massive weapon several dozen meters long and attacked as fiercely as Khorne's Chosen, she would have chopped this giant river troll witch into pieces long ago."

Orstein stared at the river troll witch and said, "Any magic has a price. Excessive use of magic by a spellcaster will cause physical strain. Even the least toxic natural magic can poison a druid. This river troll's frequent use of troll magic will greatly increase the probability of errors. When its body mutates, a turning point will appear."

Su Li quickly refocused his attention on the two chosen ones who were fighting fiercely on the battlefield. After Orstein's reminder, Su Li also discovered that since the beginning of the war, Hilde's main attack had been on the river troll witch's neck upwards.

This giant river troll witch had all its teeth broken, and you can easily imagine the blow it suffered.

If it hadn't had the [Great Wisdom] to help it stay awake, it would probably have become a fool who could only talk nonsense, just like Hilde.

But Hildurde had a strong will, a pure spirit, and the powerful protection of the Sun Goddess. The sun's light could even purify all kinds of filth, allowing her to quickly escape from her chaotic state and regain her consciousness. The river troll witch did not have such a strong spiritual will.

Whenever the effect of [Great Wisdom] is lost, it will become confused.

Finally, when Hildreth hit the monster's head hard with an elbow from the side, knocking the monster dozens of meters away, the monster made a serious mistake in casting the spell. Not only did its skull explode, but its body was covered with hard scales, and then it had an arm with claws and a jaw that could not close.

This sudden mutation caused the monster to struggle painfully on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.

At this time, Hildreth had also released her divine general status. Her mount, the half-griffin, rushed over immediately, carrying her panting body and retreating to the center of the knights.

But Hildurd, breathing heavily, without pausing for a moment, raised the glittering golden weapon in his hand and roared, "Attack with all your forces! Eliminate all trolls at all costs."

Seeing that the high-ranking attendant and steward, covered in blood, had already rushed out on horseback, the remaining thousand or so knights immediately launched a charge with thunderous cheers. They raised their swords and battle axes and chopped hard at the monster that was turning around and fleeing in fear.

The half-griffin knights of the Knights of the Vengeful Sun launched a fierce attack on the giant river troll witch who was howling in pain. They swung all kinds of halberds, hammers, and blades at random, making the monster wail in pain and blood and flesh fly everywhere.

Even though it was covered with hard scales, it could not withstand so many fierce attacks. Even its deformed arms were chopped off and one thigh was broken. The monster struggled and wailed as it retreated, leaving a pool of blood on the ground, but the members of the Knights showed no mercy.

After countless attacks around it, the monster was finally completely chopped into pieces. It lost all life and even the sound of its wailing gradually disappeared. Only countless chopped pieces of flesh were left twitching unconsciously on the ground.

Beside it, hundreds of monsters' huge bodies fell to the ground, becoming wreckage. The filthy bile and internal organs made the battlefield stink.

But on this devastated battlefield, thousands of victorious knights ignored their fatigue and cheered excitedly.

This is another glorious victory that will greatly boost the morale of friendly forces and enhance human confidence.
