Chapter 15 Ambush Full(1/2)
The midsummer in the northern country sometimes has unbearable heat. Marines in the noon sun are always a tragedy for soldiers wearing heavy armor.
On the avenue leading to the border area of the Principal of Are, a unit of more than a thousand people was moving. This unit was mainly infantry, with only a small number of knights, and they all looked like they were officers. Under the sunlight, the soldiers marched silently regardless of sweat on their faces.
Charlie rode on the war horse and silently looked at the slowly approaching forest in the distance. If the rebels were ambushed, the forest in front would be the most ideal place.
Resistance troops have become increasingly rampant recently. According to the latest information, the total number of rebels in Latvia has exceeded 5,000. Among them, the fastest-growing group was led by a mysterious young female warrior. Until now, Horn only knew that the female warrior was named Bauhinia Butterfly, and he did not know any other identity background.
After living in the northern country for a while, Charlie knew that the Bauhinia butterfly was a plant that was everywhere in the northern country. Its vitality was extremely tenacious and could grow in almost any environment. The Bauhinia butterfly bloomed every three years, and its flowers were flowing purple, which was very beautiful. Its flowering period was very short, only a few hours. After the flowers faded, countless tiny seeds would fly in the wind and fall to an extremely vast place.
After passing through this forest and moving forward more than a hundred kilometers, you will reach a town located at the foot of the Central Mountains. According to Horn's information, several major rebels will hold a rally in the town in the near future to discuss unified actions, overthrow the tyranny of the Principal of Are, and so on.
Therefore, Charlie brought more than a thousand soldiers with him, preparing to clear out the gathering rebels. He knew that if the large army was mobilized, Xia Shang would definitely block it with all his might. As long as Charlie was going to do, Xia Shang would definitely object. Therefore, Charlie only brought more than a thousand most elite soldiers with him.
The rebels were scattered all over the border. At this time, the rebels who were farther away would definitely only have leaders and a few entourages to attend. Therefore, Horn and Charlie estimated that there were at most more than 2,000 rebel soldiers in the town.
After Charlie's careful training and the baptism of many wars, Charlie is now very confident in his soldiers. In his eyes, these rebel soldiers who are full of passion and have good personal combat effectiveness can only be considered a mob at most, and they will definitely lose in fighting with Charlie's regular troops. Therefore, Charlie has been looking for an opportunity to fight the rebels.
The Resistance Army also had advantages. They received support from the local people, and with Xia Shang, the administrator who spared no effort to attack Charlie, he had an advantage in intelligence. They could often turn into small units, escape quickly or hide. Although Charlie had thought of various ways, he could only catch some scattered resistance soldiers at most.
The town is the base for Bauhinia Butterflies. This time the Rebels' first alliance gathering, she was in need of a big victory to boost morale. Charlie, a small army, went deep into the front, and must have hit the rebels' thoughts. As long as the leaders of the Rebels have a little military mind, they will definitely ambush halfway.
The forest in the distance was silent, as if it was sleeping in the midday sun. Charlie knew that there must be many rebels ambushing there. After all, such a vast forest, there was no bird on both sides of the road, which was obviously abnormal. Charlie looked at the forest and sneered. He finally waited for the decisive battle, and later he would let these rebels know the cruelty of the front battlefield.
Among these thousand warriors, all the Spartan knights were mixed. Except for the original Golden Lion Knight, everyone else gave up their horses and changed to walking. After the battle later, once the position of the Bauhinia butterfly is determined, Charlie will lead the Spartan knights to attack her. He will kill the Bauhinia butterfly with his own hands to eliminate the troubles of the Duchy. Even without the assistance of more than 200 new Spartan knights, Charlie is confident that he will kill the Bauhinia butterfly in the chaos. After all, no decent strongman is the fatal weakness of the Resistance Army.
However, there have been more adventurers in the Resistance Army recently and some mercenaries, and there must be several magicians among them. For this reason, Charlie specially brought more than ten elves magic archers from the Dark Side of the Moon. The elves' ultra-long-range magic arrows will be a nightmare for any magician who is not well protected on the battlefield. As for the Ticton warriors and other Moon dark side warriors, they are all staying behind at this time. Their power has long been known. If Charlie brought these two troops, he would definitely not be able to see a warrior in the Resistance Army.
Since he was sure that there was an ambush in the forest ahead, Charlie was not in a hurry. He waved his hand, and the troops stopped slowly, and began to set up a sunshade on the spot, so as to rest leisurely.
There are still several kilometers away from the forest here, and these extremely elite troops have every time to set up their formation when the enemy rushes to the front.
Charlie looked at the forest coldly, he had patience.
The sun slowly moved in the sky. Several long horns suddenly sounded in the forest. Then there was a noise, and thousands of anti-military soldiers rushed out of the forest and began to form teams outside the forest.
Charlie observed the process of the rebels' formation and smiled slowly. A knight beside him had counted the number of rebels at this time and said, "There are more than 2,700 people in total. Nearly 2,000 of them are commanding and unification, and they should be the main force of the Bauhinia Butterfly, and the remaining more than 800 should belong to other rebels."
Another knight continued: "They lack knights and heavily armored warriors and cannot effectively deal with our assault."
At this time, the Resistance Army had already been arranged and began to advance. Charlie called the leader of the elf archer and pointed the magicians mixed in the Resistance Army one by one. After a while, the main task of the archers was to shoot these magicians. While signing, Charlie carefully observed the Resistance Army, without letting go of every detail. Finally, his eyes lit up and said to the two assistants beside him: "Please note that the female knight in blue armor in the center of the other side's left wing should be the Bauhinia butterfly! You will follow me to attack, and I will kill her in the shortest time! As long as she dies, the Resistance Army will inevitably be in chaos."
This was the first time Charlie saw a Bauhinia butterfly on the battlefield, a knight who was estimated to be between ten and twelve levels.
As the rebels approached hundreds of meters away, they gradually accelerated their speed until they shouted and charged! They rushed towards the seemingly fragile reef in front of them like a shocking wave!
However, the reef did not move at all, but the huge waves were shattered.
The role of these elite warriors is undoubtedly revealed at this moment. No matter how the superior enemies attack, they firmly defend the defense line and slash the enemies one by one.
Seeing that the time had come, Charlie whistled, took a gun and rode his horse, and rushed towards the Bauhinia butterfly!
In front of the extremely brave Spartan knights, the rebel soldiers were easily cut open like a thick piece of cheese.
Charlie's fighting spirit shone, his gun stretched and shrank, stabbing the enemies in front of him one by one. His eyes tightly locked the Bauhinia Butterfly. The Bauhinia Butterfly was still very calm, commanding the soldiers to encircle Charlie's assault troops. Charlie sneered in secret. When he got closer, he would leave the assault troops behind him, break forward alone, and kill the leader of the rebel army in one fell swoop.
Everything was as Charlie expected.
His fighting spirit flashed, and his whole body just jumped, like a rainbow passing through the sky, and in a blink of an eye it fell less than ten meters away from the Bauhinia butterfly! Charlie's gun was raised, and a small dazzling milky white light lit up on the tip of the gun.
But the Bauhinia Butterfly was still calm and looked at Charlie indifferently.
Charlie instinctively felt something was wrong, but at this moment he could not hesitate. He roared and the battle gun flew towards the Bauhinia butterfly with a glory!
The two rebel soldiers jumped up instinctively, trying to block Charlie's gun with their bodies. But the gun silently penetrated into their chests and penetrated from their backs, and was not slow at all.
In an instant, the milky white light at the tip of the war gun had already illuminated the breastplate of the Bauhinia Butterfly!
But at this moment, the gun suddenly stopped!
A hand suddenly reached over the side of the Bauhinia Butterfly and held the battle gun thrown by Charlie. As soon as the hand touched the battle gun, the fighting flame on the gun suddenly disappeared.
Charlie was shocked and looked around, then he found a very tall and strong elf standing beside the Bauhinia Butterfly. He was wearing a cloth robe on his body, and there was no equipment to enhance his defense. He could only feel his extraordinaryness from the silver magic patterns that could be seen everywhere on his naked skin. The tall elf looked at Charlie with a sneer, with a faint disdain in his eyes.
Charlie was a little confused. Did this elf appear suddenly, or was it already beside the Bauhinia Butterfly? Why didn't anyone on his side notice his existence?
Before Cha Liya understood this problem, the whole world in front of him suddenly turned into silver, his body also lost control, and all the strength and vitality were quickly lost.
At the last moment when his consciousness was about to disappear, his lifelong experience flashed through his mind like lightning and thunder.
At this last moment, Charlie suddenly felt that his life was so empty...
Bang!
The sturdy mahogany desk was smashed by an angry Roger's punch, and documents piled up on the table were flying all over the sky, and pieces of paper flew like snow.
Horn lowered his head and knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
Roger closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart if it was not easy, and asked slowly: "How many people have escaped?"
Horn trembled, "No one..."
Roger was silent again.
From the news that came back from the resistance army, Roger already knew the battle situation that day. Horn did not know who the mysterious elf was, but Roger knew.
In fact, in this matter, Roger knew very well that Horn had tried his best. No matter how strict and effective the intelligence network was, it was impossible to grasp Nicholas's whereabouts. In front of him, the elite soldiers were vulnerable. On that day, in a short time, almost all the senior officers died under Nicholas's men. The command of the Bauhinia Butterfly was also good, making full use of the opponent's brief chaos and completing the siege.
And who could escape from Nicholas' palms when those soldiers who broke through blood?
The Principality of Alay, which made Roger devote all his efforts, suddenly fell into chaos. Shire, Charlie's death, Frey's departure, and Adele's trance were all unexpected. Now he had a huge territory, a population of millions and a army of hundreds of thousands, and he could not find anyone to share his worries for him. How could he not be angry?
But what made Roger even more annoyed was that despite successfully turning Nicholas from a silver dragon to an elf, Roger still had no choice but to deal with him. The silver dragon egg is indeed like a hostage, and can threaten Nicholas, but its use is limited. Once Nicholas ignores it, Roger will be helpless. Can he really smash the silver dragon egg?
Roger had no way to vent his anger, so he had to take his anger on other targets.
"Horn! I don't care what you do. In two weeks, you must make it clear to me about the damn Bauhinia butterfly's background! Since we can't catch her, we will catch all the people who have something to do with her first! If you can't do this within two weeks, Horn, you can consider the consequences yourself!"
Horn broke out in a cold sweat and quickly agreed.
Roger pondered for a moment and said, "Xia Shang has been so beautiful for so long, it's enough! Now it's time to finish it."
Horn asked carefully: "Sir, what are you going to deal with Earl Xia Shang?"
Roger said coldly: "He caused such a big disaster this time, and the public anger is so high, of course he is extermination!"
Horn felt cold in his heart and dared not interrupt.
"There are also those adventurers and mercenaries who are overestimating their abilities. In the future, all adventurers who are caught on the side of the Resistance Army will be nailed to wooden stakes and then inserted at the main intersection to public. Humph, the Resistance Army can use adventurers and mercenaries, and we can also use them! Offer rewards for these guys who are tempted by money! Let adventurers deal with adventurers and mercenaries to clean up the mercenaries! That's all for the time being, you can do it immediately!"
In a big city bordering the Aslofik Empire in the Principal of Leighton and the Aslofik Empire, the surging crowds did not gradually subside until night. In this city, the cathedral of the Eye of Wisdom had just been completed. The Saint Mora came here for the first time and presided over the sacrificial ceremony for the church. In order to witness the legendary saint born in response to the miracle, tens of thousands of people squeezed the square in front of the church out of water. The Saint heard the voice of the believers, so he presided over the church's entry ceremony for the gathering believers and prayed to the goddess to lead them.
Among the believers gathered there, there were actually not many who had a devout faith in the goddess Audreh. They wanted to see the beautiful saint showing miracles. In short, men, women, young and old, they wanted to see what this mysterious and beautiful saint looked like, mainly to join in the fun.
But the entire square is a large magic circle. With the support of more than ten wisdom-eyed magicians, Mora's natural charm has been increased several times. Therefore, as long as you participate in the ceremony hosted by Mora, you must obediently become a believer of the goddess, whether you want to or not. How can these ordinary people resist Mora's natural charm?
Curiosity and shelter are the nature of most people. When people see people they meet become believers of goddesses after attending the ceremony hosted by Saint Mora, they become more and more curious. Even those who have no idea of believing want to see what Mora looks like and what makes her ritual unique. However, every time Mora presides over the ceremony, the square chosen by Mora is not very large, and at most it can squeeze out about ten thousand people. Most of the 10,000 people are existing fanatical believers, and the place where these people who want to watch the fun is very limited. Every time Mora visits a city that he has visited, the competition between new and old believers is extremely fierce in order to seize a position. Some believers even sleep in the square a few days in advance.
Long after the ceremony, the fanatical believers were still unwilling to disperse. It was not until the members of the Eye of Wisdom Church that came forward to persuade the saint that the saint needed rest at this moment and asked everyone to go back. The believers left quietly.
In the huge prayer room behind the church, Mora, dressed in white, was kneeling alone in front of the blazing flames. Since she got along with Rogue, her temperament has become more holy and ethereal, and her power has become increasingly unpredictable. Whenever she kneels before this altar, Mora's body will emit a faint glow, which is so beautiful that it is incomparable.
Among the other important figures of the Eye of Wisdom, many of them were very ambitious. They did not accept Mora very much in the early stage, but she was the goddess's resurrection and designated saint, so she reluctantly accepted Mora's orders. If Mora was a very powerful jihadist who could use a little divine power earlier, then Mora is not something these people can see through now. Mora seems to have gradually left this world, and her eyes are overlapping with the goddess' eyes. Although her fighting spirit is still stagnant, no one in the church has ever had the idea of challenging her. The majesty and sacredness that she is increasingly revealing, the best explanation is that she has become a divine artist.
The divine artisans are different from ordinary priests and priests. They have obtained the ability to directly acquire divine power and have always been a symbol of mystery. Their power comes from God and is also determined by God. The power of the divine artisans is not only determined by the divine art they can cast. Among them are as powerful as the incarnation of God in this world, and they are also weak and vulnerable. Different from the favor of God, even the divine artisans of the same god can be divided into strength and weakness. Even the powerful will suddenly be weak, and the weak will become very powerful due to the sudden favor of God.
When you are enemies of the divine arts, there will always be some surprises and variables. Attacking the divine arts is, in a sense, equivalent to directly blaspheming the gods believed in by the divine arts. However, becoming a divine arts is by no means a symbol of invincibility. Not to mention that there are records, there are many gods that have shown miracles, and many powerful creatures in other planes can also provide power to people, and they are not afraid of the gods.
It's already late at night, and dawn will come soon.
The two guards at the entrance of the church were yawning boredly. Their function was just to show off. Wearing such gorgeous and heavy armor, no one knew that they would not catch up with any thief. However, at this moment, there were Saint Mora and many magicians living in the church. There shouldn't be such a stupid thief who chose to steal things at this time.
Under the bright moonlight, two shadows approached the two guards quickly and silently. The two guards were not considered to have any strength and were still blinded to such obvious attacks. They were not surprised to fall into extreme shock, but could no longer make any sound.
But the church bell suddenly roared twice. The lights of the whole church quickly lit up, and noisy voices sounded inside.
At this time, a tall figure came out of a huge ancient tree. He snorted coldly and said, "I didn't expect that they would have such a brilliant thief who would install alarm traps on the guard's armor."
Another figure who looked thin and old also walked out of the ancient tree. He paused the magic wand in his hand and said lightly: "Lord Levi, this is no big deal. Whether it is a secret attack or a strong attack, the result is the same."
Levi said: "Now she is likely to be a magician, maybe we will be in some trouble. Master Baroque, what do you think?"
The old Baroque snorted and said, "How could the power of the goddess of nature be compared to the so-called goddess she believed in suddenly? Maybe it is not a goddess at all, but just a powerful creature in any plane. This kind of cult has always been like this. Lord Levi, we are still doing it as planned. You are responsible for cleaning up the peripheral personnel of the Eye of Wisdom. I will try her magic and see what is extraordinary!"
Levi said: "Master Baroque, it seems that there are some talents in the Eye of Wisdom. Let me clean up Mora with you, after all, she is our most important goal. You know, it is often difficult for divine artifacts to deal with."
Baroque said decisively: "No! Lord Levi, the main characters of the Eye of Wisdom are in this church. It is not easy to catch them all in one place. Your task is not lighter than mine. Do as planned!"
After saying that, a thick smoke came out of Baroque's body, which turned into a cluster of twisting vines and penetrated into the ground.
Levi sighed, took off a huge double-edged sword from behind, and pointed his left hand at the church. Flashes of strange roars and shouts immediately sounded, and countless black shadows emerged from their hiding place and rushed towards the church of the Eye of Wisdom!
Fierce battles unfold in every corner of the church.
Levi watched a seriously injured magician escape quickly under the cover of the church. He snorted and roared wildly, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a four-meter-high earth dragon! The extremely thick hind legs of the earth dragon kicked hard, and easily jumped from one end of the church hall that was dozens of meters to the other end, blocking the magician.
In the wizard's horrified gaze, the earth dragon's front paws waved lightning, tearing him and the followers around him into pieces.
After a smog of smoke, Levi returned to his human form. His huge double-edged sword swept back and cut a warrior who was trying to attack into two pieces.
The battle is getting more and more intense.
Levi frowned. The capable people in the eyes of wisdom far exceeded his previous estimates. The planned massacre has now become a fierce battle. It seems that the decision of the Presbyterian Church is very correct. If the Eye of Wisdom is allowed to develop, the situation may not be cured. Unfortunately, he can only mobilize so many people in a while. If he can give him another month, the current battle will become a unilateral massacre again. But who knows when Mora will come to the border again? The Presbyterian Church has repeatedly warned not to enter the territory of the Duchy of Are. The wise elders must make sense.
Levi sighed secretly. He was sure to kill all the church members of the Eye of Wisdom, but his losses would not be too small. As for Baroque, he didn't need to worry. As a member of the Presbyterian Church, his abilities were unquestionable.
To be continued...
