Chapter 631 Raid
The rescue team searched all the way, but failed to find the temple guards who ran out in the villages, so they started searching along the villages one by one, until the fourth village was gathered in advance without warning and ambushed The 3,000 "Crusader" knights surrounded him directly.
The "Rosicrucian" came for the purpose of a joint discussion, and the leader of the team was a "Temple Bishop" who would enter the core power level in three years. When he saw the "Crusaders" surrounding him, he didn't panic. He rode out of the queue in a leisurely manner, expressing his hope to talk to the leader, but never thought that a guy in a teaching robe would walk out of the messy equipment in front of him...
The Elder Claude of the "Viper Cross" had a calm face, while the Temple Bishop of the "Rose Cross" was instantly drenched in cold sweat. He realized that the Pope and the College of Cardinals might have seriously misjudged what was happening now, but before he could make any decisions, Claude in front of him had already raised his scepter...
"kill!"
"puff!"
Sharp arrows suddenly shot out in clusters, piercing through the holy shield that the opponent hastily cast. When the "Temple Bishop" fell off his horse screaming, the hidden believers in the "Crusader" started screaming. Encircled, the knights who didn't know the truth had no way out at this time, and could only be dragged into the battle together...
So far, all the external armed forces of the temple have completely fallen.
On the chaotic battlefield, the temple guards struggled to support the barely formed formation, but they were attacked by enemies several times their size on the plain. Such resistance only lasted for a few minutes before it collapsed. The excellent equipment was at this moment from the advantage Turned into a burden, the soldiers ran away desperately one by one, and at the same time wished to take off all their armor...
However, those who greeted them were basically the swords in the pockets of the knights.
"Kill! Steal his armor!"
"That sword is mine!"
In this chaotic battlefield, the mercenary knights have no demeanor at all. Some poor and crazy guys even jumped off their horses to peel off the armor on the corpse. After all, the armor made of pure metal is extremely expensive. The quality of the armaments far exceeds the Xibei goods in the hands of these three religions and nine streams, so it is not surprising that they cause looting.
Rody was riding on the horse, running back and forth on the battlefield aimlessly. He looked a little dazed, but he was actually secretly observing that Elder Claude, who was the real strongman of the "Viper Cross" on this battlefield. , Claude's shadow magic is so powerful that he almost suppressed more than a hundred temple guards who tried to resist by himself.
But Rody's gaze never rests on Claude,
Because he knew that this kind of gaze was very sensitive to a guy with a strong level, so he didn't forget to use his clumsy swordsmanship to swing left and right twice while running.
"Raphael! Don't run away by yourself! It's a pleasure to chop with me!"
Zach howled unrestrainedly. He couldn't love this kind of tailwind battle any more. His horse had a bunch of trophies hanging on it, which obviously gained a lot. After seeing Rody's performance, he became generous, and the knights who were faintly led by him also waved to Rody, signaling to join the battle group.
"Okay...Okay!"
Rody pretended to be unfamiliar with the manipulation of the horse, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Claude who had stopped and stood in the middle of the guards...
*****
The templars who fled on the battlefield felt that they were suffering in hell, and at the same time, the city defense soldiers on the temple city hoped that everything in front of them was just a nightmare.
After all, it’s their fault that they haven’t been attacked by the enemy for too many years. Since the Sanctuary area was demolished, no one has dared to come here for nearly 30 years, so there is no curfew at night. habit.
According to the rules, the city gates will only be closed after dark, and all the city gates are open during the day. Today's sudden situation obviously surprised the city defense army. After hesitating for a while, they cautiously closed the other city gates, leaving only the main city gate open, waiting for the return of the "temple guard" troops.
The troops under the jurisdiction of the "Temple" are naturally more than those in the city. If there is a need for war, the pope will order it together, and the major dioceses will immediately gather tens of thousands of troops. But in the next few hours, the "temple" can't do this at all.
In peacetime, raising a large number of troops is a waste of money, so the standing army that can be used in a hurry is really only more than a thousand, and the rest are the inner city guards and the Holy See guards who cannot move, and the city defense troops responsible for city patrols.
The city defense force is the worst type of soldiers, and basically they can serve without any military training. Therefore, even the captain of the city defense team has no sensitivity to the military. According to common sense, when the city enters a state of war, the defense of the entire "Holy Temple" should be taken over by the "Temple Guard" led by the bishop. There are only a hundred people left in the Temple Guards, and the bishop who is in charge of defense has never fought a war, so he doesn't think there is anything to defend right now. He just sits in the pavilion outside the city, waiting for the news of the joint talks ahead.
But before he could sit down and take a sip of tea, the soldiers on the city wall screamed and sent an alarm.
"What happened? What happened?"
The bishop got up to inquire, but learned that a well-equipped army suddenly appeared on the road in the distance, and the leading cavalry was speeding towards the city!
This news made him a little confused. If it wasn't for the temple guards just sent out, who would it be? Could it be that Earl Mirno expressed dissatisfaction and sent his knight troops to negotiate in person?
From the beginning to the end, he never thought that the "Holy Temple" might be facing a frontal attack from the "Viper Cross", because such a thing is ridiculous even thinking about it. And when he boarded the city wall and saw the clerics in black robes in the army in the distance, his eyes widened...
"This, this is" he glanced left and right, and suddenly shouted: "Quickly close the city gate!"
His entire back was instantly soaked in cold sweat. When he turned his head and looked down the city wall again, he found that hundreds of cavalry galloping at high speed had rushed hundreds of meters away...
The iconic black robe of the "Viper Cross" is clearly recognizable. The knight in armor has a stern face, and the lance in his hand is pointing to the sky. This is obviously not for negotiation, but an assault force that is ready to take advantage of it!
The "temple" is not a fortress in the traditional sense, but a religious city with walls built on the basis of a town expansion, so the city does not have a moat. The ravines that were originally dug to resist the cavalry had already been smoothed by the rain in the peaceful years. So in this case, the biggest defense method of the "Holy Temple" is the city wall, and if the opponent breaks in, the consequences will be unimaginable...
