Chapter 587 The Nameless Dead

"Magic reaction?" Earl Delta turned around, "What is that?"

"Quickly tell your knights to get out of the way!" Blaine yelled at him regardless of etiquette. update the fastest

Before the words were finished, a group of believers wearing indigo robes rushed out from the corner of the street and jumped into the group of knights leading the way. The impact force of the attacker was so great that even the horses were directly overturned to the ground. Before several knights could react, their legs were crushed by the mountain-like mounts, and the others immediately drew their swords and fought with the believers.

The people on the street gave way one after another, and many people were squeezed down in a panic, crying and calling for help one after another, and the scene was in chaos for a while.

"It's...it's the opposite!" The count was surprised for a while, and then he said angrily, "Damn it, kill these rebels!"

But a flying bluestone made him shut up.

That was part of the pavement of the street. I saw the stone slab soaring into the air, and slammed it at the knight. The speed was so fast that only a blue afterimage could be seen. It flew out from the gap between the visor and the joints, and it seemed that there was no way to survive.

Then more slates flew out, even believers were included. If hit vertically, the bones of the victim would be shattered, and if hit horizontally, they would be cut in two.

Before Earl Delta could express his shock, he was dragged to the side of the street by Brian.

"Fire!" Iron Ax ordered.

Continuous gunshots instantly resounded through the streets.

Those who were still standing fell down like cutting wheat, and there was a short emptiness in front of the chaotic team. When the gunpowder smoke cleared, only knights and believers lying on the ground remained, some of them were still breathing, curled up on the ground and groaning in pain.

"Where's the enemy?" Brian stared at the corner of the street without blinking, looking like he was facing an enemy.

"The enemies...haven't all fallen?" the count was shocked and puzzled. Obviously, he did not expect that His Majesty's army was so powerful that more than a dozen silver armored knights lost their fighting ability almost in the blink of an eye.

"Here we come!" Sylvie snapped.

As if echoing her warning, a woman stepped out from the corner of the street, and the stone slabs on the street were rolled up like a carpet, floating in the air one by one.

Intensive gunshots sounded again, and the stone slab that had just been erected was smashed to pieces, but there was still a bluestone slab that was turned over, sweeping towards the crowd like a thick-bladed giant sword.

Oops! Brian felt a chill in his heart. Based on the scene he had just seen, there was absolutely no way for a musket to crush an overturned stone slab accurately within such a short distance. He hardly dared to imagine the scene of the soldiers being cut. They didn't even have iron armor, and the casualties would only be more severe than the knights. But at this time, there is no choice but to resist.

Almost at the same time, a purple light suddenly appeared from the front of the team.

The cage made of magic power completely covered the attacking stone slab, and quickly shrank to block it abruptly.

"The enemy...is a witch?" Earl Delta finally realized.

The First Army didn't stop shooting until all the erected stone slabs fell to the ground.

Thick gunpowder smoke obscured the view, and the air was filled with a choking sulfur smell, but no one dared to rub their eyes or cough, except for the sound of reloading bullets, the scene was eerily quiet for a while

"Miss Sylvie?" Iron Ax asked.

"The magic...is gone," she said slowly.

The loss of mana means that the enemy has left the battlefield, or is dead.

Brian didn't see the results until the smoke cleared.

A woman was lying in a pool of blood, and her dark green curly hair became thicker under the infiltration of blood.

Brian let go of the startled earl, and walked in front of her. The red and white priest's robe revealed her identity without a doubt.

There were two palm-sized wounds on the Pure's chest and abdomen, and reddish-brown blood clots were still dripping out, probably because the bullet hadn't lost its strength after penetrating the stone slab, and then penetrated directly into her body. There are multiple scars on the arms and legs, which should be caused by the flying gravel.

Roll up the bluestone slabs on the street as a shield, and then use the extra slates as weapons to attack the enemy. Even if the opponent has the God's Stone of Retaliation, it is difficult to get close to this kind of blow. It was a very correct approach, but it failed. Anticipate the power of the musket.

Thinking back now, I am afraid that the opponent was hit by the dense rain of bullets in the first round of shooting, but she still insisted on flipping a stone slab and throwing it, her willpower is evident.

"Is she really the witch of the church?" Delta cautiously approached.

"Didn't Your Majesty make it very clear in the propaganda of the capital?" Brian replied angrily, "The church not only poisons ordinary people with mad pills, but also secretly trains witches who serve them, and those who are framed by the church The innocent woman who is here is on our side, don't you hear any news?"

"I've heard it before, but it's just unbelievable..."

What the heck, the church has done a lot of despicable things, and of course the nobles are not much better. Brian thought to himself, but said nothing.

Edith was also shocked by this brief conflict.

It was the first time she had seen the combat method of the Musketeers. From the discovery of the target to the defeat of the enemy, the whole process was like a storm, and the soldiers only had to stand still. In terms of physical exertion alone, His Majesty's army already has the upper hand. It is conceivable that the larger the scale of the battle, the more obvious the advantage of using muskets.

There is no doubt that the form of warfare that competes with thick armor and sharp blades has been completely changed.

If you think about the machines that roared all night in the western region that are constantly producing such weapons, you will know how terrifying the potential for war is in His Majesty's territory.

It wasn't until Iron Ax ordered the team to move on that Edith came back to her senses.

However, the belief in her heart further strengthened that her choice was correct.

The First Army turned the corner of the street and arrived at the door of the church in a short while. There were already many corpses lying on the ground, and they were basically from the patrol team.

The cause of the matter was quickly found out. Just as the patrol team followed the order to seal the church, more than two hundred madmen suddenly rushed out, rushing the lord's people to pieces. Some believers stayed behind to entangle with the patrol team. Chaos was created in the outer city, while some broke out directly towards the city gate. Fortunately, the First Army was less than 100 meters away from the church, and happened to collide with the Pure One. If it had been a quarter of an hour late, the Pure One would have been able to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

Brian led the team into the church first, and quickly cleared out the remaining resisters inside.

Then came the looting time. According to His Majesty's request, the church's documents, letters and supplies had to be searched clean, leaving nothing behind.

Under Sylvie's instruction, the soldiers blasted open the heavy iron door of the basement with small packets of explosives. When the door slowly fell down, the eyes of the people present couldn't help but widen.

I saw more than ten boxes of God's Stone of Retaliation neatly arranged, and the ground was piled up with golden coins. rw
