Chapter 159 The overall situation has been decided
Infected by Pierce's sacrifice, Xu Lai also completely integrated into the Temple Knights, so much so that he directly shouted out his identity as the commander of the Temple Knights in public.
But Xu Lai is only a level 14 hero after all, not to mention that having a good physique does not mean having a loud voice. Even if his shouts were heard by all the wolf cavalry around him, it would not have much impact.
Because under the influence of the ultimate leadership technique, high-level (level 7, 8, and 9) soldiers will not run away even if their morale reaches zero.
But just because they don't run away doesn't mean that the other wolf cavalry don't run away. Even if only 1% of the wolf cavalry run away every second, hundreds of tens of thousands of wolf cavalry will still run away every second.
At this time, the chain lightning in the rear had disappeared, and the golden dragons and green dragons began to accelerate, crossing the people underground to protect the fragile group of mages before the Thunderbirds arrived.
The paladin, covered in golden light, was still moving forward bravely. Talosi sighed and finally ordered a retreat.
But even if he retreats, he cannot let the group of wolf cavalry escape together, otherwise it will really become a rout.
At that time, the defense line of our own camp may be broken up by our own wolf cavalry.
With a wave of his hand, the wolf warriors gathered around him went directly upstream.
The Wolf Warrior who activates the Overlord State is temporarily immune to the "rout" effect given by morale, and the morale of the Overlord State is temporarily constant at the normal state.
The wolf warriors whose defense has been reduced to zero are as if they are made of paper. Even a wooden arrow can easily pierce their leather armor and flesh.
Xu Laigang had just killed someone's Wang Qi, and now he was a thorn in the side of this group of wolf cavalry, with a thorn in their flesh, and their hatred value was at an all-time high.
On the entire battlefield, only this group of wolf warriors were swimming upstream. Xu Lai instantly understood his situation.
Subconsciously, Xu Lai wanted to run away, but the temple knights from behind were coming. The knights on both sides also discovered the wolf cavalry that was being defeated, and they all used their remaining strength to take this opportunity to cover up and kill the wolf cavalry.
The vanguard flag was in Pierce's hands, so Xu Lai's retreat at this time would have no impact, but in this environment, he was simply embarrassed to run alone.
What's more, Pierce put all the paladins he brought with him to Xu Lai's side, firstly so that they could successfully capture the flag, and secondly to protect Xu Lai's safety.
Xu Lai's head got hot and he blurted out: "Change the formation, ride and shoot!"
After all, his own life is important. No matter how hot his head is, Xu Lai doesn't want to be with these people who have pinkeye. The monster worked hard. Counting him and Yan Feng, his team alone had about 20 bow riders.
With so many status bonuses on his body, the wolf cavalry's defense has returned to zero. Even a fifth-level mercenary is no less lethal than a seventh-level mercenary at this time.
The most important thing is that their speed at this time is far higher than that of the Wolf Cavalry, and it is not difficult at all to kite.
The only regret is that friendly troops from the rear are constantly coming, and there are fleeing wolf cavalry on both sides. The space for Xu Lai and the others to move is getting smaller and smaller.
More than ten arrows later, Xu Lai and the others had to face off against these wolf cavalry again.
Fortunately, these paladins really spared no effort to protect Xu Lailai. Surrounded by a group of heavy armored cavalry with ultimate defense skills, it was difficult for the wolf cavalry to break through the defense line.
The battle in the sky has also come to an end. After carrying away the group of mages, hundreds of giant dragons collectively sprayed a wave of breath more than ten meters long, turning the entire sky red.
The charging Thunderbirds and Rocs braked in time, but nearly a hundred of them were too late and plunged into the Breath.
With this breath, the dragons turned around and left without stopping.
The dragon was already fast, and with Kate's blessing, the thunderbirds and rocs couldn't catch up at all, so they had to turn around and bully the knights on the ground.
Of course, the knights are not easy to mess with. Yan Feng and the others can shoot arrows, and the thunderbirds will shoot armor-piercing heavy arrows as soon as they get close.
These flying soldiers are controlled by another chief in the stronghold, so the morale value is quite considerable.
After Xu Lai met the other knights of the Temple Knights, he felt that using cavalry to deal with these flying soldiers was really a disadvantage.
Although these thunderbirds always have to land down to attack the knights, they can choose to attack at any time, and the knights also have to look at the wolf riders around them. It is difficult to keep an eye on the thunderbirds and rocs in the sky all the time.
At this moment, the golden light on Pierce's body was extremely dim, and Xu Lai suddenly thought of Archbishop Doerr in a blissful mood. He had previously threatened that as long as Pierce brought Xu Lai's body back, he would be able to resurrect him.
So, even if Pierce activates sacrifice, he is not bound to die. The premise is that Xu Lai has to get Pierce's body back.
“Follow me, and we will get the leader back.”
The Knights actually have two deputy captains, and it stands to reason that when Pierce is away, they should be in charge temporarily.
However, Xu Lai was the commander collectively sworn by all the knights. During the war, even Pierce's orders were placed behind Xu Lai's orders.
Xu Lai did not issue orders, but he was self-aware and knew that he had no ability in military command. But his order at this time was not only based on innate legal principles, but also gained the approval of these knights from the heart. After all, none of them wanted to leave the body of the captain behind.
Thus, under the gathering of Xu Lai, the entire Temple Knights became a rope again.
The two captains of the first and second teams, Duma and Walker, who also served as deputy captains, took the initiative to rush to the front of the team, replacing the original Pierce and becoming the sharp knives of the Knights.
The high-level wolf cavalry, which had lost its defense, could not stop the powerful knights' spearmen. They did not want to stop them, they just wanted to deal all the damage before their life force was exhausted. .
Xu Lai saw with his own eyes that paladins and knights continued to fall on both sides. Although the holy knight's holy healing technique could save lives, everyone's mana was running low after the critical battle.
Xu Lai still has some mana left, especially after equipping the Crown of Dragon Teeth, his mana has reached 170 points. After using it for about ten times to heal, he can still use it 7 more times.
This is what Xu Lai kept to save his own life. His current spirit is also 17 points, and he can restore the entire team of knights to 17 points of health at a time.
With the blessing of ultimate defense, all knights have a second chance. After all, Xu Lai couldn't bear the death of such high-end combat power as the paladin. Whenever he saw a paladin dying, he would make up for it with a timely healing blow.
With this healing effect, if the Paladins move quickly and drink the healing potion in time, or other Paladins drink the mana potion in time to treat the friendly troops, they can save a life after all.
The golden light on Pierce's side has completely disappeared. Xu Lai and the others are becoming more and more anxious. The paladins understand better than Xu Lai that if they want to be resurrected successfully, they must at least maintain the integrity of the body.
The so-called completeness is of course not exactly the same as before death, but it must have at least two-thirds of the body as before death.
Once this group of crazy orcs slaughtered and destroyed Pierce's body, Xu Lai and the others would have no effect even if they took it back.
However, when Xu Lai and the others finally broke through the wolf cavalry blockade, they saw Pierce running around.
Xu Lai took a closer look, good guy, his health value is even higher than that of Duma and Walker, with two-thirds of his health.
Seeing Duma and the others, Pierce waved his flag, and golden light shot out. It was the Holy Light Knight's group holy healing technique.
With the support of holy healing and reuniting with Pierce, the morale of the Holy Light Knights skyrocketed again. Xu Lai suspected that the morale value had already exceeded 100, but there was no other bonus above 100.
After regaining the sharp knife of Pierce, the Temple Knights were invincible. The Wolf Cavalry also under the orders from the rear, no longer entangled with several knights, taking advantage of the last bit of time left in the hegemonic state, a They rushed to the camp in an orderly manner.
After this break, the wolf cavalry was replaced by flying soldiers.
Except for Pierce and a few Holy Knights of Holy Light, and Xu Lai's Ranger mercenary team who killed dozens of Rocs, most of the flying soldiers calmly flew back after intercepting the Knights. Home camp.
Pierce did not pursue him, even though his dragon army rushed over to support him after unloading the mage.
The coalition forces in the stronghold have basically broken away from the human race. If they continue to pursue, the orcs' siege weapons and long-range troops will be dispatched.
However, Aini also took the opportunity to dispatch three infantry regiments. As the victorious side, the human coalition could calmly clean up the battlefield.
There are about one-fifth of the stronghold army's real people, and the rest are ordinary soldiers. The proportion is much lower than that of the human alliance.
There is no way around this. Although the orcs have the numerical advantage in this battle, compared with the human race, the orcs are a minority group after all. They have been driven into the wilderness and have very few survival supplies.
A huge number of big-eared monsters and the like were not sent to the battlefield because they were too slow.
Under the cover of the infantry, the knights dismounted and rested. The priests could not stop, and cooperated with the priests to treat and find the injured.
After Xu Lai's battle, his body had been violently collided countless times, but his fiery heart made him unable to rest at all at this time.
Pierce couldn't rest either, not just him, all the Paladins didn't dismount.
The stronghold was still watching with eager eyes. They watched helplessly as the civilians, under the cover of the infantry, carried the dead wolves and wargs back to the fort to serve as food.
Watching helplessly, Xu Lai led a group of knights and filled the battlefield looking for orc warriors to perform last-ditch attacks.
I could only watch helplessly as the human warriors who had fallen stood up again under the treatment of priests and doctors.
The extremely anxious Talosi urged the Thunderbird Legion to dispatch again. However, without the royal flag, Talosi's prestige plummeted.
Besides, on today's battlefield, there are not only knights who are weak against the air. Behind the infantry is a legion of strong crossbowmen numbering up to 10,000 people.
There is a giant dragon watching eagerly above, and a crossbowman at war below. The commander of the Thunderbird Legion was stupid and went out to send them off indiscriminately.
