Chapter 477 Trembling
? Sally—or Rody, indeed knew that the "Viper Cross" would attack her for a long time, and also knew that the Milno family was behind it.
Earl Mirno didn't know that his letters to and from Elson City had long been monitored by Rody, so the content of his discussions with "Viper Cross" had already been leaked, and those seemingly secretive actions had already become a joke.
Rody made full preparations for this, but when the attack really came, he found that he still underestimated the viciousness of these heretics.
When the tyrannical fire elements quickly gathered above his head, Roddy immediately realized that the power of this spell might not be inferior to the dragon's breath he had faced before!
The strong sense of crisis made him subconsciously pull out a quaint orange scroll, and tore the seal on the spot!
"Hunting Vision" can see the "fire element" in the sky rapidly condensed and plasticized in less than a minute. When everyone can feel the heat above their heads, giant fireballs have already smashed head-on...
"Don't move!"
When the "meteor storm" was about to destroy everything, Rody shouted to the soldiers around him not to run away. At the same moment, an octagonal barrier suddenly rose above his head, blocking the front of the meteorite...
Then, there were five loud bangs that could be heard throughout Da Vinci's territory.
Bishop Frando held his breath slightly, his eyes fixed on the front.
When the roar sounded, his heart that had been hanging all the time finally felt like it had fallen to the ground. Looking at the large expanse of trees directly knocked down by the shock wave in front of him, there is only one sentence echoing in his heart at this moment:
"This attack is stable!"
"Meteor Storm" is one of the high-level "strategic" spells that elemental mages can cast. It was not cast by the two elementalists who came to help this time, but was summoned through the scroll given by the pope— ——After all, the level of this spell is level six, and it must be at least a "magister" to cast it out of thin air.
And at this time, in order to eliminate Sally, "Viper's Cross" is absolutely worthwhile.
Frando sat motionless on his horse as the sweltering heat blew past his face. He squinted his eyes and looked ahead, feeling complacent in his heart.
Compared with the most stupid "encirclement" method, he didn't let the soldiers run to the predetermined place to wait foolishly, but stood by in groups, relying on the tracking of Viscount Senna's men and cooperating with the mage's "element sentry" to confirm Sally's identity. Take the initiative to attack after the location - for Sally who has not hidden her whereabouts, this method is particularly effective.
What surprised him even more was that another army appeared out of nowhere and attacked Roddy first.
Although they didn't succeed, they "blew up" all their ambush cards in advance, and even got Sally's troops to gather with them...
This is the opportunity!
There was only one "Meteor Storm" scroll, which was originally used to "make the final decision", but with such a good opportunity presented before him, Bishop Frando made a decisive decision and immediately used it to kick off the battle.
"Next...just clean the battlefield."
"They don't have two hundred people in total. If this goes on, more than half of them will be killed or injured..."
"I guess it's enough to rush up and chop off their heads. Those targets may not even see ashes."
The red light in front of them has faded, and the black smoke filled the air. This crisp attack method greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the "Viper Cross". "Head" can be done, so many people have already shouted the slogan "The God of Vipers punishes everything".
Half a minute after the spell took effect, the corner of Bishop Frando's mouth slightly curled up and asked the soldiers to pass on an order: "The infantry advance, the cavalry cover the flanks, the magician is in position, and the spell is covered first!"
Compared to Viscount Anru's incompetent but arrogant private soldiers before, the "Viper Cross" troops can be called "combat troops". One hundred and twenty infantrymen were divided into two teams, front and back, and fifty cavalrymen advanced in coordination on the flanks. From the beginning to the end, no one fell behind or disrupted the formation. They began to increase slowly from 300 meters away, and when they reached about 100 meters away, they collectively started to run Charge, and at the same time, several "fireballs" also flew out from behind, falling straight into the position where Rody and the others were, exploding a ball of orange sparks in the thick smoke...
The magician did not live in the rear, but was in the team, constantly releasing BuFF spells to the surroundings. They were running fast, and they were all mentally prepared for the enemy's "dead corpses everywhere"...
However, when the sulfur-smelling smoke dissipated, a bunch of white lights in front of them caused the soldiers in the front row to stagger a step!
"How can it be!?"
The image of the enemy being defeated and wreckage all over the ground did not appear at all. Instead, there were two rows of tall soldiers over two meters high and covered in iron armor. , After arraying, it seems to form a steel city wall!
And the troops behind them also lined up in an orderly manner. These people didn't have any wounds at all, and they looked unharmed no matter how they looked.
Rody's "Extremely Effective Fire Defense Barrier" scroll in Solomon's collection completely offset the spell damage, so at this time, the team basically did not lose any combat power except for someone burned on the edge!
This is the importance of "strategic resources": when others use high-level scrolls, Rody has countermeasures at any time. Without the harvest of "Solomon's Treasure", I am afraid that the current battle would be wiped out without even fighting!
The soldiers of "Snake Cross" knew that it was useless to marvel. The only thing they could do at this moment was to grit their teeth and rush towards those tall and strong guys...
At the moment when the two sides met the enemy, Sally also finished reciting the prayer, and as she pointed the scepter in her hand to the sky, the huge golden "Holy Seal" suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Purify these heretical lunatics!"
Sally looked at the enemy in front of her, her tone full of anger.

Catherine was very restless.
Just a quarter of an hour before her eyes the procession from the neighboring towns had advanced into the forest—a force evidently not belonging to any of the lords, for Catherine recognized the emblem of the rose-cross on the breastplates of the knights.
"What are the crusaders of the Rosicrucian doing here?"
Not only her, but those girlfriends and other nobles also chattered about it, but after guessing for a long time, they couldn't come up with a reliable statement. The reason was that no one had gotten wind of it in advance...
The stuff behind this is intriguing. The nobles have always been extremely sensitive to sectarian information, and the nobles are absolutely clear about any troubles in the "Rose Cross", but this time a troop of 180 people suddenly appeared, and no one knew from the beginning to the end. As far as his political sense is concerned, I am afraid that something big will really happen.
But now she is not interested in these gossips at all, she just wants to see her father come out of the Da Vinci Forest as soon as possible - the news that several villages in the territory have been slaughtered is in her throat, making Catherine so anxious that she can't sit still.
Thinking about it... In such a big forest, my father would not tell others where he went, and he would change his direction at any time after chasing a prey. He just sent a small team. I am afraid that there is really no hope of finding him for a while.
"Dolim!"
Catherine asked the steward beside her, "How many soldiers can move here?"
The housekeeper looked back after hearing the words: "Miss, there should be twenty, twenty, uh... Then, what is that?"
The housekeeper who was counting the number of people suddenly froze. Catherine raised her head and followed his gaze when she heard this, and then... also stood there in a daze.
She was looking to the west, which was in the direction of several large villages and towns in the "Da Vinci Territory". At this time, several long trails of smoke suddenly appeared in the sky...
Although nobles don't know how to burn firewood by themselves, Catherine still knows the common sense that cooking smoke is "milky white", and this... is obviously thick black smoke that is produced after something is burned.
Two streams of black smoke have drifted to the top, and a new stream of black smoke is slowly rising from a closer position...
"These untouchables just like to burn things!"
The people around gradually noticed this. Catherine could hear her girlfriends complaining, but she was not so optimistic at all——Bolton Territory is to the west, and if the slaughtered villages and towns are marked on the map , just in the direction I am currently watching!
Is something... coming?
The uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense. Catherine felt that she, who had always been calm, even trembled slightly with her fingers. She took a few deep breaths, and looked around: the servants were pointing at the black smoke. The few nobles who stayed here The girl was talking about the vulgar way of life of the untouchables, the surrounding soldiers were resting idlely under the tents, the horses were wagging their tails and grazing with their heads down...
Everything was still as harmonious as before, but Catherine's legs were shaking violently.
"Dolim, count all the soldiers now, and leave immediately! Find my father!"
"Miss, you are..."
"Don't ask why, go! Go now!"
Fortunately, she was dressed in a hunting suit today. She made a decision at this time, and she trotted a few steps and came to her pampered horse. When she turned over, she almost fell from the other side because of too much movement. She tried her best to stabilize her body. , she went towards the forest surrounded by the private soldiers who rushed over from the side.
"Catherine! What are you doing here?"
Seeing her leaving in such a hurry, several girlfriends asked aloud, but Catherine was surrounded by the sound of horseshoes all around at this time, and could not hear their words at all, and quickly disappeared from the sight of these people.
"Really, I don't think she is quite right today. Did she fall in love with some man and go crazy?"
"Who knows..."
The others were still chatting boredly, but after a few minutes, someone suddenly pointed to the distance and said:
"Eh? There seems to be another group of people over there."
"What are you doing... It was 'Rose Cross' just now, and now there is another batch..."
"Their riding postures are so strange, why are they dangling?"
"It seems to be true, wait a minute—that doesn't seem to be a horse?"
