Chapter 338: Unstoppable momentum, mysterious ritual

Only then did the dozen or so lords suddenly wake up.

I immediately felt extremely regretful. In fact, for the lords, the crusade force and the 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.

And 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 territory.

They preconceivedly labeled both sides as justice and injustice.

In fact, whether it is the Crusade Army or the Calamity Raven Church, the lords can only be regarded as a third-party fringe force. Not only cannot they attract their attention, but they will 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 takes away 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, it is truly treating human life as nothing.

Once it falls into the hands of such church heretics, not even a whole body 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 way of showing them. Chance.

To him, these dozen lords and the soldiers they brought were all illegal armed forces, and they were not small in size, and they were worthy of being surrounded and suppressed.

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 are two hundred and forty Avalon light swordsmen, and behind them are the archers and mages, mainly dragon rangers and mages of the water and earth systems.

In addition, there is a group of fourth-level strong swordsmen who have 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 from the rear were still bombarding them.

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 when it hits the ground.

There are many metal steel balls inside, which will sweep out crazily, causing a range of damage.

The firepower of the trebuchet made the jackdaw and halberd warriors miserable.

Including the Raven 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 this continued, the entire Raven Tower might have been destroyed by military crossbows.

The advancement 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 shooters entered the shooting range, the next battle had just begun.

The earth mage chanted the group's earth magic one after another. The earth shook continuously, with thorns constantly coming out. Rocks rose up from the ground. The surrounding villages began to stagger around, making overwhelming sounds of collapse.

The houses in the village collapsed one after another, and the earth continued to tremble. 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 there were some sharp arrows and magic projectiles coming, but they were not many in number and could not cause effective damage to the infantry queue.

In response, each was countered with several times more arrows and magical attacks.

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 them from wind and rain, but they are faced with various third-order and fourth-order stone houses. The attacks of high-level shooters and mages are not enough.

After this battle, it is estimated that Odo Village will also 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 Euphorbia warriors, which gave them a lot of confidence again.

"Kill!"

"Fight in!"

How could such an overwhelming offensive fail?

Immediately, the morale of these lords who were responsible for spearheading the advance was greatly boosted.

From the beginning, they were as dejected as if they were mourning their concubines, but now they have become fanatics.

Originally, everyone was gathering together, trying to keep warm, which made the entire front line queue extremely tight.

Now that these lords saw the progress going so smoothly, they became fanatical again.

They shouted slogans and rushed towards the village.

The originally tight front-end formation became looser, and the overall advancement speed became much faster.

The crusade 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. The crusade had an absolute advantage in both melee and long-range combat.

Even in the temporary position, there are trebuchets and positional crossbows conducting 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 it doesn't seem to be a problem. After all, the battlefield advantage is 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 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 seemed 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 killed almost all the tens of thousands of ravens attracted by the Raven Tower, created four blood pools, and then used the remaining mithril and magic materials to build the Raven Tower. , constructed 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 expires, 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's arm. She listened and couldn't help but change her color.

"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 repair 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 restrain thousands of people at once, but it is not even known when it was destroyed.

"What? Was he poached?"

"How can this be?"

"Before, the Raven Dome covered the entire village."

"Did he really get poached instead of being 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 for building the magic circle have been dug away."

"Only the magic arrays in the tower and a few more prominent 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 was instantly freezing several degrees.

"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 posture of kowtowing devoutly.

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 Vereesa 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 hundreds of crusaders.

Those wolf cavalry were cut down almost immediately after a confrontation. Although they were not killed directly, 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 advance of these halberd warriors.

The spurge was stained with blood and unstoppable.

When those lords faced the sudden surge of jackdaw and halberd warriors, they had no way of fighting back! \u003c/div\u003e
