Chapter 461 Alien Labyrinth 1
Due to the oracle issued by the Red Moon Goddess, the emperor of the Oro Empire attached great importance to this war and mobilized three legendary professionals and 100,000 soldiers.
This force accounted for almost half of the strength of the Oro Empire, and the remaining half could not be easily mobilized. After all, the Holy Light Empire has been operating in the Red Moon Plane for 500 years and has built a magic fleet that can attack the towns of the Oro Empire by sea.
The two sides have been fighting for 500 years, and the Oro Empire has suffered from the navy.
In order to ensure the killing of Richard, the Red Moon Church also sent the legendary magician Sussman to participate in this operation.
Few professionals in the Red Moon Plane have knight blood, especially the Red Moon Church, which is impossible to marry the knights of the Holy Light Empire and the Dawn Church for generations. Without the knight class, the combat effectiveness of warriors, magicians, and priests is very different, and the status of magic professionals is more prominent than that of the Dawn Plane.
Although there are 15 legends on the Red Moon Church side, only three of them have the power of spells. In fact, on the side of the Dawn Church, there are only two legendary magicians, Cardinal Racine and Archpriest Berto, which is a little behind the Red Moon plane.
However, the Dawn Church has three legendary knights, and the Holy Light Empire also has a legendary knight Rust. The four of them are a little stronger than the legendary warriors on the Red Moon Church side. Although the number of legends is five people less, they can barely maintain the stability of the battle line.
After Harland entered, Richard killed the silver-armored man Scola and brought Sylph into the Red Moon plane. Together with Richard and Sophia, there are already 13 legendary-level combat forces in the Dawn Plane. Moreover, the second legendary golem in Harland has been successfully refined, which is enough to compete with the Red Moon Church in terms of legendary professionals.
In fact, the real situation of this plane is at the top. The Red Moon Church can use the body of the divine saint, and the incarnation of the God of Light is also active on the Dawn Plane.
The mutual restraint between the two sides is the most critical reason for the two forces to maintain a balance.
However, at this point in time, the Goddess of Dawn has not woken up, the God of Glory has lost his incarnation in other planes, and the body of the Saint of the Red Moon Goddess can be used. This is the fundamental reason for the deterioration of the situation in the Red Moon plane.
In the current situation, if you want to counter the body of the Saint of the Red Moon Goddess, you must let the popes of the two major churches of Dawn and Glory join forces with artifacts, and add the legendary fourth-level knight Emperor Edward to help, in order to stop the arrival of the Saint of the Red Moon Goddess.
Unfortunately, both the Church of the God of Glory and the Holy Empire of Glory intend to abandon the Red Moon plane and cannot take the risk of confronting the gods. After all, unlike the Church of Dawn, the faith of the God of Glory has spread to dozens of planes, and there are also several planes under complete control. Gradually withdrawing from the Red Moon plane and reducing the garrison in the territory is not a heavy loss for the God of Glory.
The Church of Dawn is different. First of all, the Goddess of Dawn is a young but unlucky god who has been sleeping for more than three thousand years. Although the Dawn Church has developed well in the years when the Goddess of Dawn was asleep, without the support of gods, the faith has only spread to two planes. The Red Moon Plane is very important in the Dawn Church system, and the operation of this plane cannot be easily abandoned.
In addition, the most important artifact of the goddess is used to suppress the Red Moon Goddess, and the army cannot be withdrawn from the Red Moon Plane.
The current situation of the Dawn Church is actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Relying on the reputation of the God of Glory, it frightened the Red Moon Goddess in a short period of time.
Once the Red Moon Church continues to test, the incarnation of the God of Glory cannot come forward, and this layer of window paper will eventually be broken.
At that time, the situation will be completely passive if the Red Moon Goddess Saint cannot be stopped from coming. At that time, the loss of Harland Territory will inevitably be extremely heavy.
However, Richard's situation is special. First, the Holy Empire of Glory needs him to take responsibility on his behalf, and secondly, he has a close relationship with the Dawn Church. The Dawn Church has helped Harland Territory many times, and Richard is also obliged to share the pressure for the Dawn Church.
The most crucial point is that Richard has a powerful divinity in his body, which is even stronger than that of a demigod.
Richard entered the Red Moon plane, which not only disturbed the Red Moon Goddess's sight, but also frightened her for a while, buying time for the Dawn Church.
The Red Moon Goddess did not test Richard's divine power, nor would she act rashly and let the body of the saint descend. Once the body of the saint is lost, the Red Moon Church will inevitably be unable to stop the attack of the Dawn Church. At that time, the situation will return to 2,500 years ago, and the Red Moon Goddess will be sealed again.
Outside the Biers Castle, the Red Moon Church drew elites from the 60,000 troops and launched a surprise attack on the city wall.
Seeing this scene, Richard also deployed troops to resist the enemy's strong attack.
The elite archers drawn from the entire army drew their bows and arrows, and aimed at the enemy with enchanted crossbows.
Richard could dispatch more than 300 elite archers with archery skills above the fourth level. In addition, Lost and Zuo En opened the city gates and commanded the Warcraft Cavalry, ready to charge the enemy at any time.
Martin also led the former members of the First Battalion, lined up in a dense formation, and led the elite infantry to guard the city walls and the city gates.
Soldiers equipped with death ray guns and scorching ray guns also aimed at the enemy.
When the Red Moon Church enemies entered the range, energy weapons and enchanted arrows immediately attacked the enemy densely.
In an instant, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard in the sky, and a violent explosion broke out under the city wall.
The battle situation suddenly became tragic. Although the enemy dispatched all elites, the casualties were not light in the first round of saturation attack.
Although the elite warriors of the Red Moon Church are equipped with sophisticated enchanted shields and enchanted armor, which can block an arrow and a scorching ray. However, if they are hit by more than a dozen arrows in a row and hit by dozens of energy weapons, the enchanted shields and enchanted armor will also be damaged.
You should know that the total number of long-range soldiers in Harland is as many as more than 1,500, including 1,200 elite infantrymen and 300 archers. Especially the elite archers, the arrows they shoot are extremely accurate.
Most of these people are veterans with more than eight years of military service. A team usually focuses on attacking one enemy. Every volley of archers can break more than a dozen enchanted shields.
Once they lose the protection of sophisticated equipment, the third and fourth level warriors cannot survive in such a fierce battlefield. Their physical strength and physical attributes cannot withstand such an amazingly dense attack.
Moreover, Harland's elite archers had a very fast shooting speed. With precise aiming, they could shoot more than a dozen arrows in a minute. Although the enemy reacted quickly and their footsteps were very flexible, they had already suffered heavy casualties just after entering the range of the archers.
Seeing that the arrow rain on the top of the city was so lethal, the legendary commander did not charge hard.
The elite of the Oro Empire immediately changed their formation, forming groups of three or five people to cover each other. It only took more than ten seconds to rush through the range of about 300 meters.
After all, this group of enemies were all professional soldiers, with a strength of more than ten points and agility of more than four points. In Richard's previous life, these were all biochemical supermen.
Just as the enemy was about to climb the city wall, a wave of alchemical bombs were thrown down, and a violent explosion sounded instantly. More than hundreds of alchemical bombs exploded under the city wall, and even the city wall was shaking.
Under the continuous attack of multiple measures, the elite casualties of the Red Moon Church organization exceeded 60, and about 30% of the war losses occurred.
Seeing the remaining enemies appear near the city wall, the Warcraft Cavalry immediately launched a charge, and Martin on the top of the city also commanded the soldiers to block the enemy's attack on the city in small teams.
Just when the city wall was in chaos, the priests and magicians of the Red Moon Church also went out one after another. They acted very quickly, opened the force field shield one after another, and launched a second wave of charge on the city wall.
This batch of enemies actually reached 500 people. According to the observation of the shield aura, more than 80% were priests.
The priests charged at the sturdy castle with staffs and swords, which surprised Richard.
You should know that the status of priests in the Dawn Plane is extremely transcendent and precious. Basically, they rescue the wounded in the rear and hardly participate in the front-line war. But the priests in the Red Moon Plane are consumables.
Hundreds of priests were taken out at one time to fight hard. Richard saw that some priests in the Red Moon Plane were actually magic and martial arts practitioners, and they could also use fighting spirit and magic. The combat power of this kind of holy warrior seems to be particularly strong.
In the Dawn Plane, priests generally do not practice breathing techniques, which consumes a lot of time and energy, affecting the priests' meditation and promotion.
However, in the Red Moon Plane, because priests also need to participate in many wars, some people practice breathing techniques part-time to make their shortcomings less and the power they master more balanced.
Especially the commander who led the team, it seems that both professions have been promoted to high-level, easily blocking the attacks of arrows and energy weapons on the top of the city.
After the second echelon of the Red Moon Plane entered the battle, the four legends hidden in the first echelon suddenly launched, and easily killed dozens of soldiers led by Harland without warning.
Especially the legendary magician Sussman, whose destructive power is extremely amazing.
Seeing that the legendary professional has appeared, Richard gathered his magic power, took a big step forward, and immediately released the three-ring magic immobilization technique to prepare to restrict Sussman's actions.
Sussman reacted very quickly. He also awakened the talent of danger perception and released a four-ring magic teleportation one step ahead.
Sussman's body suddenly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared a hundred meters away. After avoiding the immobilization spell released by Richard, Sussman raised his hand and cast a first-ring magic spell to dizzy his head.
After being in the hands of a legendary magician, the effect of a first-ring spell is also very amazing.
Although Richard's mental power has reached 64 points, and he has a very high resistance to soul and mental magic, he still feels dizzy and unable to concentrate after being hit by Sussman's magic.
Richard endured the discomfort and hurriedly released a second-ring magic spell to clear his mind. He reacted a little slower, and the fourth-ring magic flame dragon released by Sussman had appeared above his head.
Seeing this scene, Richard did not intend to fight hard, and released the second-ring magic light spirit spell, plus his own agility of nearly ten points, and quickly avoided Sussman's attack.
Seeing that Richard was so fast and approaching twelve points, Sussman immediately understood that Richard was also a person who practiced both magic and martial arts, and both paths had reached a very high level.
Richard avoided the fire dragon released by Sussman, but the seven or eight soldiers around him were not so lucky. They reacted slowly and were burned into fire in an instant, making creepy screams.
Richard had just avoided the fire dragon and happened to appear near a fourth-level warrior of the Red Moon Church. In a chaotic battlefield, unknown dangers can also take the lives of high-level professionals.
When Richard released the spell to avoid, there were no enemies nearby. But just as he moved here, a fourth-level warrior of the Red Moon Church happened to appear nearby. Accidents happen frequently on the battlefield, and dangers cannot be avoided at all. There was once a legendary general who died from a stray arrow shot by an ordinary professional.
This man waved the sword in his hand and chopped at Richard with all his strength, as if he was going to use up all his strength.
Ordinary magicians are weak in the flesh, so they must release magic to keep a distance. There are legendary magicians nearby who are watching covetously. Once the rhythm of casting spells falls into a passive state, they are likely to fall into Sussman's trap.
Richard practiced both magic and martial arts, and was not afraid of close combat. He took advantage of the situation to draw out the enchanted long sword in his hand, and moved at an astonishingly fast pace. He turned slightly on the spot, and the enchanted long sword drew an arc, easily cutting through the enemy's armor and killing this man.
Seeing that Richard was unusually difficult to deal with, Sussman decided to trap Richard first, and immediately released the Nine-Ring Magic Alien Maze, trapping Richard in the half-plane maze.
At the same time, Richard had a similar idea, and released the Nine-Ring Magic Alien Gate to Sussman, sending Sussman into the azure plane occupied by the undead.
Both spells involve plane coordinates and space-time channels, and are difficult to guard against. If there is no accumulation in this area, even legendary magicians cannot master the spell template. A large number of legendary magicians are not very proficient in space magic.
The nine-ring magic gate to the other world released by Richard, as the name suggests, is to open a door to the other world. To release this magic, you must have experience traveling to another plane, master the coordinates of the other plane, and anchor the spatial coordinates of the other plane in the mental space.
In addition, to open the space door of the other plane, you need to establish a special portal in the other plane to receive it.
This portal acts as an anchor point, and its principle is similar to the return scroll, but it involves two planes of teleportation.
Before entering the Red Moon plane, Richard created this magic.
In fact, the gate to the other world is a standard legendary magic, involving the use of magic particles at a deeper level. The legendary template of this magic is also engraved by Richard in the mental space.
Richard has not yet been promoted to Legendary, and his mental power space has not absorbed and refined deeper magic energy particles. The reason why he can use this magic is that he is the creator of this magic, and the requirements for casting are relatively low. The second is that Richard's mental power exceeds 60 points, and his body is baptized by the rules of elements. Even if deeper magic energy particles are used, the burden on the body can barely be supported.
If other magicians release this spell, they must master the legendary spell template, master a lot of spatial knowledge, understand the essence of space, and consume 400 points of magic power to release it successfully.
The requirements for releasing this spell are almost the same as those for the legendary magic starlight bomb.
What's more troublesome is that opening the door to the other world is risky, especially opening the high-level magic plane. Once the plane channel is opened for a short time, it is possible that the high-level magicians nearby will reversely deduce their own plane coordinates, attracting the invasion of enemies from other planes.
Now Richard has mastered the door to the other world, which can expel enemies to the two planes of Dawn and Azure.
The Azure Plane Channel is near the Skeleton Lair. This place is about 100 kilometers away from the Dawn Plane Channel. In fact, there is a certain possibility that the location of the plane channel will be leaked. It is risky to release this spell to trap Sussman.
The Dawn Plane Channel is built in the cold Bolton Forest.
Although there are two choices, Richard cannot exile Sussman to the Dawn Plane and let him destroy his rear. He can only take the risk and exile Sussman to the Azure Plane.
Sussman released the Nine Ring Magic Alien Maze to Richard, trapping Richard in the half plane he had been operating for many years.
In this plane, there is not only a complex maze arranged by Sussman, but also a magic circle prepared by Sussman. A magician tower has also been built in the half plane, and a small number of Sussman's students are stationed. Similar to Sussman, Richard is also in a dangerous environment.
