They decided not to help either side, but were unwilling to even ask what was going on.

But this attitude is enough to explain the problem.

Asur immediately raised the Holy Avenger in his hand, spreading the holy sword and the aura of the holy warrior, covering most of the Hell Knights.

The veteran paladin did not choose to question the reasons for the actions of the enemy sect of the abyss. Instead, he gritted his teeth and said, "Knight of Hell—!"

"Unlimited counterattack against the enemy sect of the Abyss! Unlimited!! Unlimited!!!"

At the same time, the enemy sect of the abyss also used short messaging to send messages to distant places.

Then, the mantra they were chanting was over.

They bypassed the range of the Holy Avenger's aura and aimed firmly at the Hell Knights who were not within the Holy Avenger's protection range due to their formation.

Blooming above their heads were countless dim scarlet...storms?

They look a lot like flames, and they billow and steam like flames.

However, the temperature changes that the flames should bring are not felt near them.

All that could be smelled was the stench of sulfur and something even more disgusting.

The breath of the devil.

At the same time, the speed at which these mysterious flames erupted was even faster than that of the fireball spell. By the time Asur realized their existence, the mysterious flames launched by a dozen priests had already dissipated in mid-air.

As for the Hell Knights who were not under the protection of the Holy Avengers, their pupils had dilated and their mouths were open.

These determined soldiers didn't even have the chance to resist before falling straight off their horses.

There weren't even any visible injuries on their bodies.

That is the fire from hell.

Faced with this unprecedented power, Asur turned his head silently and stood up.

He raised his sword and swung it forward. "Change your orders. Do not leave the Holy Avenger's protective range. Although this spell is unique, it cannot yet break through the Holy Avenger's protection."

"Also, Mage, send a message to the Knights of Hell."

"Have them come here immediately. As long as the battle in Eltoril isn't in full swing, send support here immediately! The target location is one hundred meters above the camp - the restriction spell can't reach that height!"

At this moment, the enemy priests of the abyss made strange whistling sounds.

Boom.

The mountains of heavy objects were pushed aside and fell to the ground with a dull thud.

The skeleton is inserted into the ground and moves forward.

The Hell Knights couldn't help but gasp.

Asul's pupils shrank slightly.

That was a group of giant skeletons.

Or a giant insect.

Countless digging worm skeletons broke through the flesh and blood, carrying their heavy shells, and slowly walked out of the warehouse.

Seventy-six Companions Under the Sun (I)

Tani, who was still within the range of the silencing spell, could not hear what Sig shouted.

Therefore, he did not realize that the enemy priests of the abyss had already launched an attack in advance because of Sig's words.

——He should take care of himself first.

Silence.

This spell blocks the propagation and generation of sound and eliminates vibrations.

And most of the divine spells that a priest can cast require speaking!

Even though Tani was much stronger than the younger ones behind him as a priest, he had lost all his spellcasting abilities within the range of the Silence spell.

If it were a simple hand-to-hand combat, his advantage would immediately disappear.

No, he had already completed his investigation. Within the Emya team, the Paladin Mars's bravery was exceptional. Hell Knights were the elite of Eltoril, but a few months ago, two Hell Knights combined for a tug-of-war and were defeated by Mars alone.

During the baffling reconsideration of Baldur's Gate, the demons discovered something: Mars, a paladin who always led the charge, was strangely absent during that battle, only reappearing with Imoen after the demons' plan failed. Furthermore, among the beams of light animating Bhaal's blood, the one that landed on Imoen's tower was significantly thicker. They didn't understand the reason at the time, but at least Imoen couldn't be stronger than Adrian. Therefore, a possibility emerged from this comparison: another Bhaal's son was in the tower at the time, and Mars of Candlekeep was the third one missing. The magic circle only relaxed the requirement for Bhaal's resurrection from one to two. If there were still three remaining, there would be no way to stop it.

Furthermore, there was further speculation within the Gods and Non-Gods: perhaps the blood of Baal in Mars was even thicker than Adrian's. After all, Mars occasionally revealed some strange...bloodthirsty and violent tendencies in Eltoril.

These bloodthirsty marks never appeared on Adrian's body.

In short, if you try to fight Mars in hand-to-hand combat without being able to cast spells, it will be difficult for him to gain the upper hand with his decayed body.

The pastor of the Lucky Church is famous for his unexpected and decisive strikes.

Get out of the range of the silence spell first.

But he couldn't just leave—before the horse could speed up, the paladin would cut off the poor odd-toed ungulate's hind legs, and Tani, who was still on the horse, would be thrown off immediately.

Fortunately, he still has a trump card.

Tani took out a small sphere from his waist.

The secret treasure of the Gods and Non-Gods will return to the real world.

A small ball that stores the mantra of return.

As long as the ball is broken, the user will immediately return to the place where the ball was made - even if this place is not even in the same plane as the user! In order to ensure that there will be no accidental triggering, the shell of this ball is actually quite solid!

Without any hesitation, Tani used all his strength to smash the small ball hard onto the frozen ground.

In just a few breaths, he had fully understood the current situation.

Emiya and others had already discovered their identities.

But for some reason, they chose an extremely radical strategy—they didn't evacuate in advance, but pretended not to know. They waited patiently until this moment before finally launching the attack!

Tani felt a chill in his heart, but also felt fortunate.

An aggressive strategy means extremely high returns but also extremely high risks.

As long as the ball shatters, Tani can escape from danger immediately. Now that the restriction has not been lifted, these young people will pay the price for their arrogance and radicalism!

The reason Tani was in such a state of disarray was entirely because he was caught off guard by the Silence and close combat. If he had been well prepared, even if he was alone, he could have inflicted heavy losses on Team Emia. How could he be in such a state now, unable to even fight back?!

Tani's arm drew an arc in the air, and the dark ball slipped out of his palm.

The power of the priest's magic still remained in Tani's body, making his body contain astonishing strength. If Tani was not still in the silence spell, the moment the small ball broke through the air, it might even set off a shrill roar in the air.

At that moment, the priest's hammer whistled out, but for some reason it narrowly missed Tani's lower arm, failing to cause any damage. A lucky priest who missed such a crucial blow? Tani even felt a tinge of relief.

Even though she had already cast a spell, Emiya, who had been concentrating her energy, raised her sword. The small ball passed in the direction of the sword's tip, and Emiya's stored magic burst forth.

Tani saw Emiya's mouth open silently several times.

Then, the small ball that held all of Tani's hopes suddenly dropped to zero speed, and slowly floated vertically upwards, rising in front of Tani's eyes as if mocking him.

Intact, no possibility of breakage.

Second level spell, levitation.

Tani's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

This group of young people even knew the existence of this secret treasure.

Tani suddenly understood—the priest's hammer was to prevent him from crushing the ball directly at his waist. If he dared to do so, the fully armed priest would directly smash his arm like a training wooden man. And if he chose to use external force to smash the ball, he would be sniped by the levitation technique like he was now.

The moment they saw the ball rise, Tani noticed that most of the people present felt relieved.

A silver round handle emerged from the Holy Knight's body at some point, brushed past Tani's side like a sharp arrow, and accommodated the iron ball into the hole in the middle of it.

Tani clenched his teeth tightly.

How did a group of young people know such top-secret information?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came into his mind.

They had once, and only once, given this little ball to an outsider as proof of their covenant.

The recipient was their ally, a powerful shadow druid named Korhal. His base, and intended territory, was supposed to be in the nearby Sharptooth Forest.

The priests of the enemy of the Abyss had once annihilated a group of elite soldiers nearby, but after discovering reports of Elminster's whereabouts in the area, they dared not investigate further—they had assumed that Korhal had also unfortunately run into Elminster and was one of those unlucky individuals.

They belong to the same Council of Gods and Non-Gods as the Voices after Mephistopheles, but they are independent of each other and do not share information.

In the end, such a fatal mistake occurred.

If Tani had just urged his horse on, or even jumped off it and ran for his life, he might still have a glimmer of hope.

But now, he can only hope that his subordinates can detect the abnormality in time.

Tani let out a silent roar and stretched out his right hand to the mace at his waist.

He was facing away from Emiya and the others—which would have been extremely fatal. But now, at least he didn't have to expose his arms to Emiya and the others.

The paladin's slash and the priest's hammer hit Tani's back silently.

Heavy and full of murderous intent.

However, relying on the divine power in his body, Tani has not lost his fighting ability.

Tani spat out a mouthful of blood, pulled out his weapon with difficulty, and turned sideways.

At this moment, he saw with his own eyes that the two mages in Emia's team had simultaneously released two spells of dispelling magic.

The magic dispelling and protective aura instantly bombarded Tani, precisely covering only Tani.

The magic of dispel was still a little immature, just the level of a rapidly growing sixth-ring wizard.

The second magic removal technique is of a completely different style.

rough.

—but terrifyingly effective.

As if pointing directly to the essence.

Tani realized one thing very clearly: after two attacks of magic removal, there was no longer any enhancement spell left on his body.

At this moment, he saw that the cylinder flying in the air deposited the small ball that held Tani's hope of escape into the waist of the Holy Knight, and then drew an angle in the air.

Tani saw that the hollow hole in the hilt of the sword, which was originally occupied by shadow, was faintly lit.

The next second, the brilliant moonlight instantly occupied Tani's entire vision.

**************************

"...Digger...Zombie?!"

Throughout this camp, the corpses of burrowing worms were a common sight. Even though Emiya had used the reserves here to create vast quantities of burrowing worm armor, a large number of burrowing worms were reduced to ashes in the incinerators. This fact remained unchanged.

At one point, these frozen corpses almost became part of the camp's scenery.

However, at this moment, these corpses, which should have been dead long ago, suddenly moved. These stiff yet strong corpses screamed and crawled up.

——The corpses of these digging worms had been transformed into undead creatures at some unknown time.

There were so many bodies, and they were transported so frequently, that they were piled up in almost no order.

Even beside the stables, the corpses were piled all over the floor. To the extent that, the Hell Knights had to live with their warhorses all the time in order to appease these four-hoofed elves.

Judging from this result, the war horses are much more sensitive than them!

"Boom! Boom!"

The burrowing zombies move in an incredibly clumsy way.

They seemed to have forgotten how to act as digging worms.

The front legs moved clumsily up and down the ground, providing the power to move forward with great difficulty.

But Asul's face looked very ugly.

These zombies are generally also wearing heavy digger beetle shells.

No one had expected zombies to be so lethal in the first place. Now these burrowing worms were bulky and massive, perfectly meeting all the requirements for being a human shield.

In an instant, several icy meat shields appeared between the Hell Knights and the enemies of the Abyss.

The Hell Knight's charge was blocked by the enemies of the abyss in the most brutal way.
