Chapter 130 Seal of Purity
The method of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst is old-fashioned, but old-fashioned usually also means effective. The soldiers under Viscount John obviously began to speed up.
Leaven's logistics force, that is, the mobilized civilian husbands, had already evacuated with their pack horses, and now they have found a relatively safe stronghold. All Raven has to do is to use Margaret's guidance to communicate with Their own logistics troops converged.
Crossing a stone bridge and bypassing a dead town, when I turned back, there was no trace of the skeleton soldiers.
The pace began to become easier, and Raven and others also slowed down their horses.
"Baron Raven, thank you very much this time for bringing back my old bones." Viscount John also regained some energy: "But you are not the kind of impulsive guy. Why did you risk coming back to save me?"
"Viscount John, although I am not a good person, but..." Raven's voice paused: "I am not the kind of bastard who doesn't repay kindness."
John 1 He was stunned, then laughed softly.
Leaven's laughter also sounded, and the hearts of the old and the young were filled with tacit understanding.
This laughter made Eric and Volaf feel a little baffled, but the relaxed atmosphere also infected them, making everyone begin to feel relaxed.
However, at this moment.
Behind a hillside, green spots of light suddenly appeared, like a group of fireflies flying in the sky!
But it’s winter now, winter in the North, there shouldn’t be bugs.
Because that’s not bugs, but a row of undead cavalry!
One row, two rows, three rows...
There are eight rows of undead cavalry, with a total of no less than fifty!
The eyes of the knights and horses were filled with gleaming green fire, and the breath of their mouths and noses was icy death clouds!
The undead cavalry, whose entire body is made of white bones, is extremely light and makes no sound when its horse hooves trample on the ground, just like a group of messengers of death coming towards you!
The soldiers' screams of fear came from behind, and Viscount John's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave.
If he had faced these undead cavalry in his heyday, with the cooperation of Raven and others, he would have been able to take them down, but now, both his body and his fighting spirit are extremely weak, and he cannot fight with them at all. confrontation!
"Baron Raven, your men are all cavalry, run away, leave me alone."
Viscount John said this, but did not receive a response. He turned around and saw that there was no need for him to say that Raven had already brought him with him. He sneaked out for almost a hundred meters with his own soldiers!
Lei Wen thought to himself, he has already tasted the kindness, and now there is really no need to stay and die!
Wait, where is Lux?
Reining his horse and turning around, Raven saw that Lux was still there, motionless.
This silly girl!
He tucked his legs into the horse's belly and rushed towards Lux.
At the same time, Lux took off her hood, held a leather rope with both hands, and tied her waterfall-like golden hair into a long ponytail.
"Little girl, you go too. Raven saves me once, and I will kill him once." Viscount John raised his spear.
Clax seemed not to have heard. She looked calm and indifferent, took off her pair of white silk gloves, folded them little by little, and put them in the horse bag next to her.
Then, he reached into the luggage on the other side of the saddle and took out a shining golden scepter.
This scepter is one meter long, with a golden background that symbolizes the sun, and is inlaid with silver patterns that symbolize the moon, emitting a soft glow.
Holding the scepter with both hands and holding it horizontally in front of her, Lux's eyes dimmed slightly and she began to pray in a low voice.
The prayer flowed out from between the lips and teeth. It was obviously weak, but the rhythm made the Xuefeng Legion soldiers, who were originally quite frightened, much quieter.
Little bits of golden light began to condense towards Lux, flying to her clothes and scepter, and Lux's eyebrows were dyed with a golden luster.
Golden light overflowed from her eyebrows like water.
The Necromancer Cavalry is getting closer and closer, now less than fifty meters away.
The azure fighting spirit began to flow on Viscount John's spear.
Lux slowly opened her eyes, and her sapphire-like eyes had turned into a majestic golden color!
At this moment, the world seemed to be a little brighter.
The next moment, Lux held the staff with one hand instead of two hands, aiming at the undead troops in front of her!
Bright golden light bloomed from the top of the scepter, and a ray of light suddenly went away and fell into the land in front of him.
Huh——
I don’t know whether it was the wind that blew the light, or the light that drove the wind. The infinite light spots rushed towards Lux’s body, blowing her golden ponytail, and making the priest’s robe fierce. The fierce sound made her whole body turn golden.
At this moment, Lux is like an angel walking on the earth!
The light flowed through Lux's body and poured into the scepter, forming a shadow of a scepter as thick as an ancient tree behind her!
Holding the scepter high, Lux took a deep breath, let out a sweet cry, and smashed it down!
The phantom scepter behind her suddenly fell to the ground!
During the shaking, dust flew up, and the earth suddenly cracked, and golden light surged out from the cracks, lighting up half of the sky!
It’s like a sun is blooming under the earth and may erupt at any time!
The light engulfed the undead cavalry. No matter whether they were humans or horses, as long as they were touched by this light, the undead aura around them would rise and burn like boiling. After burning, only lifeless bones would fall to the ground. , and then decomposed into little bits of dust like weathering!
Second-level magic, Seal of Purity! With this magical technique, most of the fifty or so undead cavalry were wiped out, and no more than twenty were still standing. Even for the remaining ones, the undead aura on their bodies was extremely weak, and even their originally crystal clear bones were gone. Become withered and yellow.
Raven, who rushed to Lux's side, was stunned. He looked at the still-smoky battlefield, and then looked at Lux, whose face was filled with calmness and was putting away the scepter. A strange feeling arose.
Why is it that using a magic spell here... makes it as easy as frying a plate of vegetables?
"Lux, you have this kind of magic, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Lux blinked and let down her hair: "You didn't even ask."
Raven was speechless. Lived.
Okay, that makes sense.
With Lux's divine spell to suppress the battlefield, Viscount John stepped forward and added another slash, and then with the charge of Raven's personal soldiers, this group of undead knights finally returned to the dust. .
After experiencing such an episode, the soldiers led by Xuefeng, who had been a little relaxed and slack due to being out of the siege, regained their energy and continued their trek.
After marching for most of the day, from morning to afternoon, until the sky started to get dark, the group finally arrived at the location of Raven's logistics unit.
This is an abandoned castle. The gate has been breached. Apart from some scattered bones, there are only mottled blood stains left.
The soldiers led by Xuefeng were stationed inside the castle walls, while Raven and John led their own soldiers into the castle hall.
The bonfire rose, Viscount John took off his helmet, revealing a face full of dried blood. He took off the water bag from his waist, poured half of it on his face to wash away the blood, and poured the other half into his mouth: "Hoo! …Thank you so much for today, little one.”
Raven smiled when he heard this: "Didn't you thank me before?"
"It's different." Viscount John glanced at Lux who was praying: "This time it's because of her."
Looking at Lux's back, Raven felt a lot more relaxed, but he didn't want Viscount John to see what he was thinking, so he changed the topic: "Speaking of which, this time the priest from Xuefeng's leadership did not follow. You?"
Viscount John shook his head: "No, in fact, the priests of the Xuefeng Territory had already left before the transfer order was issued."
"It's not just the Xuefeng Territory. , if you ask Judra, or the nobles participating in the war, you will know that all the priests of the Church of Light have been transferred by the Holy See before the war."
Raven was stunned and looked at Lux with an increasingly complicated look.
All the priests have been transferred. Obviously it cannot be a personal wish. It must be based on the decision of the local Archbishop Thomas and even the higher-ups of the Church of Light.
Could it be that... Lux actually disobeyed the orders of the Church of Light?
“Cherish the people in front of you.” Viscount John’s voice rang in Raven’s ears.
Old Lei Wen blushed and coughed: "Why does the Holy See do this?"
"How can I, an old man, know the secrets of the higher-ups of the Holy See." Viscount John opened his mouth, revealing his blood-stained teeth: "But, seeing Priest Lax's performance today...hey."
From Viscount John's words, Raven keenly caught a trace of anger, and he also understood the reason for Viscount John's anger.
Lux is only a second-level priest. Although it may be because of his devout faith that he is able to use such powerful magic, other priests, whether first-, second-, or third-level, are not as good as Lark. Silk can always play a role, right?
At the very least, add blessings to the soldiers, add magic to the weapons, or simply use magic to heal them.
Each item can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of soldiers and reduce losses. Even if there are more than thirty priests in the main camp today to form a priest group, the outcome of this battle is still unknown!
But unfortunately, except for Lux, there is not even half a priest in the entire coalition.
This can only mean one thing. The Holy See of Light does not want the nobles of Nord Province to win so smoothly, and even intends to see them fail!
“Why?” Raven’s voice was low, recalling the numerous bones he saw along the way: “What benefit does this have to the Church of Light?”
Viscount John did not answer; He turned his head and pointed at an oil painting hanging in the hall. It was covered with arrow holes, knife marks, and blood stains, and it was almost impossible to see its original appearance.
“You may not recognize it, but this oil painting is Baron Petra, a second-level life knight.”
"He is now dead. The widow took his young son 'Little Petra' and ran to Hippok County, temporarily living in the castle of Viscount Morgan."
"Baron Petra's Battle He died in his own territory, worthy of his noble status. When the war is over, little Petra will be able to inherit his father's title and return to this castle. "
Raven's face gradually revealed. A little confused, but the tone is still there It was unbelievable: "At that time, since he did not have the troops to deal with the possible crisis, he would definitely ask Morgan's family for help and invite the other party's garrison on the condition of profit!"
Viscount John clicked Nodding: "Yes, if you have the grace to take them in, then build a bastion and station them there. Do you think there is any reason to drive them away in the future?"
