Chapter 637: Tasteless Divine Art?

"Keep the city gate!"

Elder Dean raised his staff high in his hand, turned around and shot a series of shadow arrows at the temple guards who had already chased him. Amidst the screams, the infantrymen of the "Viper Cross" who followed quickly fought with each other. The clergymen and magicians on both sides were desperately attacking, and the battle suddenly became fierce...

The siege came first from the cavalry units that circled over, but Dean had expected that the soldiers blocked the narrow streets in advance to avoid meeting the enemy in the wide square, which greatly reduced the power of the cavalry However, the frontal charge failed to break through the infantry phalanx of the "Viper Cross".

When the troops led by Benjamin surrounded them, they found that the enemy was tougher than expected. In such a narrow area, the killings caused by the elites of the "Shadow Blade" to ordinary templars severely damaged the morale of the team. Benjamin cast divine spells one after another with a serious face, but was almost shot in the shoulder by an archer from the opposing team.

If Archbishop Rubens hadn't arrived in time, the next two arrows would have killed Benjamin immediately!

"Take cover!"

Rubens' shield deflected the arrow, and at the same time he stretched out his hand to drag Benjamin behind the brick wall. When he glanced at the city gate, he found strange knights pouring in from outside the city...

"Damn it! It's still a step too late..."

The city gate could not be closed, basically declaring the failure of defending the city, but at this time Rubens was more concerned about the whereabouts of "Viper's Kiss". He glanced at the "Viper Cross" team, and immediately found that the assassin carrying the scepter was being heavily protected by a "Shadow Blade" team, obviously preparing to leave the battlefield.

The outer city was destroyed, the inner city was destroyed, the Pope was seriously injured, and the College of Cardinals suffered heavy casualties... If this assassin is allowed to run away with the scepter, then the "Rosaceous Cross" will really lose face.

Roddy's plan cannot achieve all predictions. In fact, according to the plan, Rubens should arrive before the enemy invades the city. Now it is a step slower, and the situation is already passive. In the plan, Rody's request for the "Viper's Kiss" is to stay if he can, and if he can't keep it, try to use magic to designate the holder.

Rubens' hand holding the scepter was soaked in sweat, took a deep breath, raised the scepter, and cast a "ring of light" as quickly as possible, pointing at the figure who was about to rush out of the city gate...

"Circle of Light" is a buff spell that can increase the healing effect of the subject for a short time.

It is a key skill for saving people on the battlefield, and it is enough to make many seriously injured soldiers hang their breath and survive to the rear to receive better care. But Rubens is not here to treat Elvis, he uses this skill,

It is entirely because of another feature: the high-level "ring of light" will form a white halo around the subject's body, with a diameter of three meters, and last for more than three minutes!

The release range of this buff spell is extremely large, so Rubens can lock on to Elvis at a distance of nearly a hundred meters.

After the divine spell was released, Rubens raised his scepter against the arrows from the archers in the distance, and continued to release a "cone of holy light" into the air that could be seen on the entire battlefield...

This is a very weak single-target attack magic, because it can only play a "purification" effect when facing undead creatures. The biggest feature is that the momentum is amazing, and the length of the highly recognizable vertebral body can even reach 15 meters long and 6 meters at the widest point at high levels.

Obviously, though, it doesn't work at all on humans. But when Rubens releases this magical technique, there is actually only one purpose...

Show Roddy the way.

"Go in! These shameless people have stolen the food that should belong to us!"

"For the rich and heartless bastard!"

A sound of curses came out of the mouths of Zach and others, which made Rody deeply understand what it means to be a gangster and erect a torii: obviously he is a bandit, but he has to put a hat on the other party first, and insult him from the moral high ground. After a while, after deepening this kind of recognition in his heart, he committed atrocities that were worse than animals with peace of mind.

"This is the so-called robber logic..."

Rody glanced around. At this time, he and Zach and others were at the front of the scattered team of the "Crusaders". The thin horses could no longer maintain their previous speed due to the long-term rush, so he gradually fell behind Zach. behind. From this angle, you can see Elder Claude who stopped about 400 meters away from the city gate on the left front. To the front, a look of waiting for something.

"Raphael! Hurry up! What kind of chain is dropped at this time!"

A knight who was traveling with him yelled at Rody, and Zach next to him laughed and said, "You kid, you have never seen a battle! I guess you dare not even enter the city!"

"I'm speeding up! But the horse can't move!"

In the dust raised by the horses all around, Rody's voice seemed a little trembling. This reply immediately caused a burst of laughter. In fact, these knights are not riding good horses. Up to now, the rushing has been half-baked, and the speed of each one is not fast enough. But the more this happened, the more impatient the knights of the "Crusaders" who were eager to plunder, they shouted and whipped frantically to speed up the horses, one by one wished to put on their wings and fly in!

The shouts of Rody and the others were heard by Claude, but the elder didn't even turn his head, just whispered disdainfully: "A bunch of idiots."

More than 5,000 knights were easily controlled by him, which made Claude feel as if he was standing in a god-like overlooking angle: everyone is his pawn, and everything is running according to the way he wants...

"Da da da"

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes at the city gate, and Claude took a closer look, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Elvis was rushing out of the city with the escort of fifteen elite guards from "Blade of Shadows", while looking in through the city gate from behind, he could also see the elder Dean who was about to evacuate.

The three giants of the "Viper Cross" had such an agreement in their plan: In order to ensure that no accidents occurred after the scepter was seized, three people must walk together after leaving the "Holy Temple" to prevent any possible attacks.

At this time, Claude was 400 meters outside the west city gate, Elvis's team had just left the city gate, and Dean led a ten-man guard to stop at a distance of 50 meters behind, obviously planning to take advantage of the large number of "Holy Saints". The "Teaching Army" knights left before blocking the city gate.

It was at this moment that the sudden appearance of the "Cone of Holy Light" and the "Ring of Light" on Elvis appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Rody, who turned on "Environmental Acuity", saw all this clearly. He was swaying left and right in the charging team, and his momentum changed instantly. Wraps on both sides of the saddle…

"What does it mean?"

Claude didn't notice the change in the rookie knight behind him. He frowned and looked up at the sky, wondering why this kind of magic appeared.
