Chapter 242 The Surge of Disaster (5k2)
"The 'Curse of the Curse' was breached? And the 'Binder' Haziz was killed?"
"Grand Inquisitor" Baines looked into the distance in surprise. A "Knight of the Guard" behind him had just delivered good news to him.
At this time, the "Battle Knights" led by Baines had almost wiped out all the "Orc Berserkers" of the Dark Vanguard Army. But they also paid a heavy price for this. Nearly forty "battle knights" and three "guard knights" died in the battle.
Several leaders of the Berserker Legion are still making their final resistance. "Knight of the Throne" Frosa is currently fighting fiercely with nine "Bloodthirsty" with the third destiny of [Red Lotus], waiting for Baines to finish harvesting the last enemies, they can immediately go to support Frosa and end the melee over there.
After that, he and Frosa can lead the "guard knights" and "battle knights" to the battlefield inside. As long as the enemy's "executioner" Afatak is killed, victory can be completely established!
Baines thought like this. He took one last look at the broken position of the "cursed curtain", then rode his horse, dragged the red sword, and galloped in the direction of Frosa.
…
Another battlefield.
Luo Xiu and the clergy of the church are suppressing the remaining "cursors". After the death of their "monster" Haqiz, some of the spell masters chose to flee, while some of the spell masters stayed, meaning "lost" martyrdom.
The remaining spell masters were still resisting stubbornly. They spread out their formations and shot out a stream of light containing a strong curse at the priests, carving the already messy land with new eroded patches. trace.
But the cursed light they shot at the priest was quickly swallowed up by the golden light. The sacred light of "annihilation" has floated from all directions, bloomed, and engulfed their figures.
Although there were still casualties among the priests, the losses suffered by the "Spell Master Legion" were much greater in comparison. The spell masters after Haqiz's death were just a bunch of scattered sand. They did not have a central spell master to control the spell formation, so they could no longer cause any large-scale damage to the priests.
Among the stubborn resistance of the curse master group, several "favored ones" with triple destiny stood in front of Luo Xiu, trying to block his way deep into the hinterland of the camp.
In an instant, several gleaming golden thunders descended on their heads, replacing Luo Xiu's pre-battle greetings.
The bodies of the two "favored ones" who were closer were blown to ashes on the spot. The favored ones in the outer circle were intercepted by other priests before they could really stop in front of Luo Xiu.
Anthony, the "Great Priest of Sins", swung his golden war hammer and smashed it on the head of a favored person; and the giant sword in the hand of Pamier, the "Great Rider of Sins", also emitted a rich and sacred glow, turning into The sword blade slashed hard at the beloved in front of him!
——Boom! boom! The dazzling golden light immediately swallowed up this local battlefield, and a dense scarlet light mist was faintly drawn out. The "favored ones" originally blocked Luo Xiu's movements, but it turned into a fierce battle with the "deacons" of the church!
Listening to the dense sound that kept coming from his ears, Luo Xiu no longer delayed for too long, but rode the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus straight out of the battlefield and headed towards the dark vanguard camp. galloping away into the hinterland.
On the way, he wielded the Scythe of the Moon and chopped down more than a dozen Dark soldiers, and the tent of the "Executioner" of the Dark Vanguard was now in front of him.
——He will directly take the "executioner" Afatak's tent!
At this time, only two of the enemy's four "Fourth Fate" leaders or commanders were still on the battlefield.
"The Cursed One" Haqiz has been killed, and "Guillotine" Bagry, the real ghost, has also followed Luo Xiu's instructions and "teleported" back to the Forsaken Royal Court when no one was aware, and exited. the battlefield.
The remaining two "Fourth Destiny" extraordinary beings - "Beast Tamer" Crowl have not yet appeared, and the "Executioner" Afatak, as the "Presidential Leader", must be in the Chinese army's tent, Or on the hillside overlooking the entire battlefield.
At this time, beheading the "executioner" Afatak, the worst case scenario is that he will only face two "fourth-level destiny" extraordinary people at the same time!
For Luo Xiu, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed.
Luo Xiu's eyes were deep. He rode the "Golden Pegasus" and quickly broke through the inner blockade. He was about to reach the largest tent.
At the same time, he spread his "spiritual" perception and began to analyze the intersecting and complicated spirituality that filled the air, looking for the location of the "executioner" Afatak.
Without spending much time looking for it, the surging spirituality on the hillside soon caught Luo Xiu's attention.
It was a thick and powerful spiritual surge, with strong spiritual pressure escaping outwards without restraint. From a "spiritual" perspective, it is like a huge rock standing firmly on a steep hillside.
"...Is that the 'Executioner' Afatak?"
Luo Xiu murmured, thinking of other things in his mind at the same time, "According to the information Bagri passed on to me, the 'executor' Afatak should be a giant. And the spiritual surge he exudes is indeed In line with the temperament of a 'giant'..."
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately changed the direction of driving the "Golden Pegasus" and rushed towards the hillside that was perceiving and exuding surging spirituality.
…
"Lord Luo Xiu, the church's 'high priest', has penetrated deep into the enemy's territory, Your Excellency, City Lord."
“He’s definitely opened up situations for us to be advantageous.”
On the high slope behind the Red Maple City military formation, on the balcony of a watchtower, a knight covered in armor spoke to Lord Nelson in a high-pitched and hoarse voice.
"Yeah, I saw it."
Lord Nelson nodded, with a deep dark light floating in his eyes. He looked at the distance where Luo Xiu was, then at the battlefield where "Grand Inquisitor" Baines was, and said slowly:
"' Lord Luo Xiu, does he want to take this opportunity to behead the enemy's president, the 'executor' Afatak..."
"I think Lord Baines should have noticed this."
"The priests of the church have now basically completed the elimination of the 'Spell Master Legion', and our battle knights in the side court have also killed all the orc berserker warriors."
"After that, the extraordinary beings from the church and the side court will follow the path created by Master Luo Xiu and penetrate into the enemy's hinterland. That will be their last line of defense."
"..."
"I hope so." The knight nodded, and the armor around his neck made a sharp sound of iron scraping, accompanied by his equally sharp and hoarse voice:
"Lord Alfan and Lord Eureka from the Monument Courtyard are all ready."
"If the enemy sends out the 'Giant Legion', the adults of Fangbeiyuan will dispatch."
"Well, that's good." Nielsen nodded in response, but his frown did not relax, but frowned tightly.
"I don't know why, but I always have an ominous premonition..."
Lord Nelson said in a low voice: "I always feel that something bad will happen."
"……never mind."
He no longer pursued the source of this ominous premonition, but returned his attention to the battlefield in front of him.
"I hope nothing will go wrong at this last moment..."
After a pause, Lord Nelson said slowly:
"Victory is already close at hand."
…
--boom! The war hammer fell from Anthony's hand, and the "favored one" in front of him suddenly spattered with blood.
Looking at the beloved who had a skylight on his head, he fell limply to the ground. After a convulsion, he stopped moving. Anthony then raised his hand to withdraw the war hammer and said slowly:
"This is the last one."
"..."
It took about twenty minutes for the priests to wipe out the legion of spellcasters of the Dark Vanguard Army and all the spellcasters who remained on the battlefield and resisted.
Pamière, as well as other priests with dual destiny, gathered towards Anthony's position, and Anthony quickly counted the number of casualties.
One of the "deacons" failed to arrive. He had fallen on the sand of the battlefield not far away.
That was the clergyman belonging to the "Missionary House", the "Sacrificial Fire Archbishop" Graydon. Faced with the siege of two favored ones, he died together with an enemy's "favored one".
In addition to Graydon, six other priests with "second destiny" died. The surviving clerics removed their corpses from the corpse piles on the battlefield.
"Now, the holy colleagues of the 'Mission'. Going to recover the bodies of the slain priests is not their rightful destination."
Anthony's expression was gloomy. He put his hands in front of him, forming a triangle shape, and prayed in a low voice.
"...May their souls go to the eternal kingdom of heaven."
Palmier and other clergymen also silently surrounded the bodies of the slain clergymen and followed Anthony with a simple prayer.
After that, the six "missionary" priests were responsible for transporting the bodies of their compatriots to the rear of the battlefield. The other priests continued to penetrate deeper into the enemy's position.
Their "hosting of the great sacrifice" has opened up a path for them.
Following the guidance of the remaining sacred spirituality, Anthony, Pamier and other priests entered the hinterland of the enemy's camp without encountering any obstacles. At this time, they were filled with sadness and their anger towards the enemy had reached its peak.
In the hearts of all the clergy, "hatred" burned their chests like fire.
The final battle lies ahead - this is what the priests thought in their hearts.
Now, their common and greatest desire is——
Behead "The Executioner" Afatak and then return in triumph.
Go back to Red Maple City and the church.
A sacred and solemn memorial ceremony was held for their fallen clergy colleagues.
…
As the priests continued to penetrate deeper, there was a battlefield behind them.
The soldiers on both sides of the main battlefield were still fighting fiercely, but the war in the extraordinary realm had basically decided the winner.
"Grand Inquisitor" Baines and "Knight of the Throne" Frosa have now wiped out all the orc berserkers of the "Berserker Legion" of the Dark Vanguard Army.
Because their leader "Guillotine" Bagry did not appear from beginning to end, this made Baines and Frosa feel a little lonely in the previous battle.
——Especially after they learned that the church "hosted a grand ceremony" and killed the enemy's fourth-level destiny "Binder" Haqiz, they felt even more itchy and unbearable.
"Guillotine" Bagry did not appear, which allowed Baines, Frosa and the knight army led by them to massacre the Berserker Legion in an almost one-sided manner. In the end, their "bloodthirsty" couldn't last long under the hands of Baines and Frosa, and completely drowned in the abyss of death.
"The external obstacles have been completely removed." A deep voice came from under Frosa's visor.
"Grand Inquisitor" Baines beside him nodded, rode his war horse to Frosa's side, and said: "Well, the situation on this battlefield is already very clear. Then, after that, Together with the clergy of the church, we will fight into the enemy's belly..."
Before Baynes could finish his words, he suddenly heard a huge explosion.
--boom! ! ! ! !
It was an explosion coming from the west side of the battlefield, belonging to the area controlled by the Dark Vanguard Army.
Baines' pupils shrank and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the explosion.
In Baynes's memory, there was one and only a dense coniferous forest there, but it was not the chosen battlefield - the ground there was muddy and slippery, and the view was blocked by overlapping obstacles, which was not suitable at all. A big legion battle, this is the same for both sides of the duel.
More importantly, it is not the only way for the two armies to engage in battle, and the terrain and the size of the woods are not suitable for laying a large number of ambushes - it is not a prime location that military strategists must compete for.
But now, a huge explosion came from that coniferous forest!
In Baynes' field of vision, he first saw several plumes of thick black smoke rising from the coniferous forest.
After that, huge flames that could start a prairie fire soared into the sky, and fine sparks splashed and drifted outward like a volcanic eruption.
The soaring calamity fire dyed the already gloomy sky with a striking red, and reflected a sea of flames in the accumulation of blood on the battlefield, making people think of a real purgatory.
——That was an extraordinary forest fire!
Baines looked at everything in front of him in confusion, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what the enemy wanted to do.
But before he could figure out the answer in his mind, his senses sensed something was wrong.
He first smelled the pungent smell of a large amount of gunpowder explosion, and then the burning smell of incompletely burned trees.
Mixed between these two smells is the smell of blood, a very strong smell of blood!
This is not normal, absolutely not normal... Baines thought to himself.
He subconsciously looked around, only to find that Frosa and the knights brought by their "side court" were all stunned on the spot, looking at the forest in the distance where the calamity fire was rising.
Not only them, but also on the outer battlefield, the soldiers of Red Maple City and the Black Vanguard Army who were originally fighting seemed to have forgotten the ongoing confrontation and looked at the strange, molten prison-like scene in the distance.
After that, everyone heard more weird and dense noises.
It seemed like countless beasts were running away from the sea of fire. They gathered into a tide of beasts and rushed towards the battlefield unstoppably!
No, that's not "escape"...Baines quickly rejected such an idea.
That’s “foraging”! The spiritual perception he exuded has already sensed the hungry, manic, and bloodthirsty aura of the things emerging from the forest.
A rare bit of panic appeared in his heart. This development was beyond his expectation, and he couldn't help but be several times more cautious than usual.
After a moment of thinking, he changed his primary goal at the moment, and then drove his horse and galloped towards the forest.
"Knight of the Throne" Frosa and other knights from the side court followed the direction of Baines.
It wasn't until the two columns of knights followed Baines to the edge of the battlefield that they finally saw the real scene in the sea of fire.
Right in their field of vision, the only "commander" who had never appeared before and belonged to the fourth destiny of the Dark Vanguard Army [Red Lotus], "Beast Tamer" Krall, appeared in front of them before.
It was a dwarf wearing a spotted animal skin, and he was riding a four-legged monster covered in blood and with red eyes.
It was a three-headed "hyena", but there was no fur on its body, and its bloody flesh was exposed, with large burn marks on it.
The six eyes on its three heads are all scarlet in color, and the staggered sharp canines are covered with disgusting yellow dirt. The saliva is constantly dripping from its jaws, and its whole body exudes the aura of extreme hunger, mania, and bloodthirsty.
There is no doubt that it is a "monster", but its aura is much darker and deeper than that of ordinary monsters!
And just behind "Beast Tamer" Crowl, on the horizon in the sight of Baines and the knights.
More and more scarlet-colored "stars" rose, from dozens to hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands!
Those are "hyenas" with no fur on their bodies and exposed flesh and blood! They just stared at the "food" waiting for hunting on the opposite side with greedy and bloodthirsty eyes from a distance, as if they could no longer restrain their natural impulses.
"...Go, children. Poor children who are already hungry."
"Animal Tamer" Krall suddenly spoke, his voice seemed to contain some kind of weird power, and then he said calmly: "Tear their skins apart, devour their bones and flesh, and lick them of blood.”
"This is exactly...the feast that your loving father and benefactor has prepared for you!"
——Oohohohoho! The moment Kraul's voice landed, a series of roars of joy suddenly erupted from the tide of "hyenas".
Then the first pair of scarlet eyes crossed the horizon, then the second, the tenth, the hundredth, the thousands.
They surged in like a tide, and as their bloody claws and feet trampled the earth, Baines could vaguely feel that the earth was shaking with uneasiness and fear.
That was undoubtedly a disaster—a real disaster! They will ignore the enemy or themselves and devour all the fire objects in their path, rushing towards the city behind the battlefield with insatiable hunger!
"They...really released something quite extraordinary..."
Baines looked deeply at the crimson tide on the opposite side, and the sword in his hand simultaneously burst out with an unprecedented red luster.
"Get ready to fight...Frosa."
"That doesn't look like a 'friendly' enemy...but we have no choice."
Baines sighed and ordered to Frosa and the knights behind him:
"——Go through the beast tide and kill the 'beast tamer' first!"
"That's our next goal - the first and only goal."
"Remember, behind us is the empire's territory."
"——We have no retreat."
