Chapter 16 The First Battle

In the early morning, the jungle is filled with mist, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot summer day.

A large group of Ouyun people were resting on a clearing in the jungle. Only those with higher-ranking professions had built wooden houses. As for tents, only the evil invaders would use such things. If anyone was found using a tent, the priests would send them to hell with the sacred fire of the great god Ouyun.

Some Ouyun people gathered together to pray. Their devout faith allowed them to enter the kingdom of God Ouyun after their death. Some devout believers were granted divine power by God Ouyun and promoted to professionals.

"Whoosh."

An arrow flew out from the depths of the jungle and accurately hit the head of a patrolling Ouyun native.

Bob emerged from the jungle, accompanied by more than 40 knights. Bob opened his ironwood bow and shot another arrow, but by this time the Ouyun people had already reacted, and an Ouyun official warrior waved his weapon to block the arrow.

Then he shouted in Oyun language: "Kill these evil invaders!"

Bob knew that his mission was to attract more attention from the Ouyun soldiers, so he grabbed his lance and shouted, "Knights, follow me and charge."

Most of the Ouyun soldiers who were still praying did not carry weapons, and Bob's team easily killed dozens of them in a short period of time. However, as more Ouyun soldiers joined the battlefield, their charge speed became slower and slower.

Several regular Ouyun soldiers have now picked up various weapons. Under their leadership, hundreds of Ouyun soldiers have surrounded Bob's team.

Richard was still observing carefully in the jungle. The priests were the highest-ranking class among the Ouyun people. When they were praying just now, the leader was the priest, but he was surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

As Bob charged, the priest's position was exposed among the Ouyun soldiers. He avoided Bob's frontal charge and was now moving outside the encirclement, apparently trying to find a safe position to cast spells.

Bob also knew his mission, and he led the knights to continuously attack the priest, leaving the priest's position completely exposed to Richard and others.

"Okay, we'll clear the way for you, and you prepare to cast a spell to interrupt the native priest."

George saw that the priest was very close to here, and finally emerged from the jungle with the remaining knights. Richard, dressed in a wizard robe, followed behind the stormtroopers. There was no other way, he could not equip metal armor, and only the wizard robe had a certain degree of defense.

When they got close to the enemy, an Ouyun soldier discovered Richard and his men, and immediately warned the others in Ouyun language: "There is still a group of evil invaders here, kill them quickly."

The priest also discovered Richard and the others, and knew that their target was obviously him, so he kept shouting for people to protect him.

Soon, twenty or thirty Ouyun soldiers withdrew from the encirclement and protected the priest.

"Level 1 fire elemental magic, fireball."

Richard cast a fireball from a distance, and the burning flames made many Ouyun soldiers scream. There were too many enemies, so Richard could only use the fireball to clear a path, but the effect was very good.

The priest had no intention of rescuing the enemy but was excited that the enemy wizard had wasted a first-level magic power. Once the wizards among these evil invaders exhausted their magic power, their combat effectiveness would be no better than that of an ordinary warrior.

And of course, one's own divine power should be reserved for key magic.

Seeing that there were already two official warriors protecting him, the priest immediately began to sing loudly, "Level 1 Holy Magic, Hymn of Courage."

George knew that the priest had already started chanting magic, and now it was up to him and Richard. He immediately shouted, "Level 1 fighting skill, charge."

Red fighting spirit suddenly burst out from his whole body, enveloping him and the horse under him. His speed instantly doubled as he charged towards the priest.

Upon seeing this, two ordinary Ouyun soldiers immediately rode wild boars to block George's charge route, but were knocked away by George, spitting blood, and it was obvious that they were not going to survive.

The two Ouyun official warriors who were protecting the priest rushed up quickly, but were also knocked away by George. However, the red fighting spirit that erupted from George was also exhausted, and even the warhorse knelt on the ground. It was obvious that the fighting skills just now made the warhorse a little unable to bear it.

George quickly jumped off his horse and restrained two Ouyun official warriors with his one-handed sword. Richard, who had the talent of multitasking, was already ready to cast a spell. A black magic beam accurately hit the priest, and the priest's chanting stopped immediately. The black magic beam was Richard's first-level chaos magic, Silence.

As the Silence spell hit, the priest's singing came to an abrupt halt, and the divine power in his body also suffered a certain backlash as the spell was interrupted.

Knowing that it was a good time to kill the priest, Richard cast three consecutive fireballs. His second-level mental power and talent for multitasking were used to the extreme by Richard. The three fireballs were almost one after another and hit the priest continuously. Because the priest was hit by the silencing spell, he was burned to ashes without even a scream. Only a shining crystal of divine power was left lying in the ashes.

The continuous casting of spells also made Richard feel a wave of emptiness in his body. Knowing that he needed to rest for a while, Richard quickly asked Hansen and others to protect him.

With the death of the priest, the situation on the field quickly reversed. George and Bob, second-level knights, almost crushed the ordinary Ouyun soldiers. Even the official Ouyun warriors could only hold out for a few rounds.

At this moment, George had jumped onto the warhorse given up by his men, and joined up with Bob and other knights. He took over the command on the battlefield and was leading the soldiers to charge continuously, splitting the encirclement of the Ouyun people. However, a large number of Ouyun soldiers were also resisting stubbornly.

Knights kept dying, and some clever ordinary Ouyun soldiers used their weapons to trip up their horses. The fallen knights were often unable to keep up with the team and were chopped into meat paste by the Ouyun soldiers who rushed over.

Richard knew it was time for him to break the deadlock, and used voice magic to imitate the voice of Ou Yun's official warriors: "Retreat."

Richard had learned this phrase from the leader of the Ouyun soldiers who had attacked him before. Upon hearing the order to retreat, many frightened Ouyun soldiers immediately began to flee. The only remaining Ouyun official soldier saw the fleeing people and immediately began to shout loudly: "You bunch of cowards, how dare you betray the great Lord Ouyun."

However, compared to Richard who used magic to make sounds, his voice was only heard by nearby soldiers in the noisy battlefield, which exposed his position. George immediately led the knights to charge towards him, and soon, the last Ouyun professional also died on the battlefield.
