Chapter 271: God Says, Let There Be Light (2-in-1)

Bai Xiaowen didn't go far before he heard the sound of horses' hooves sounding rapidly.

Lord Cecilia, the white rose of Cecilia, riding a tall white horse and a pure white cloak, hunted and hunted, and caught up with Bai Xiaowen all the way.

"Dio, what do you mean by this?" Cecilia said in a cold voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince is trapped and the situation is critical, why don't you go to the rescue?"

"My order is based on the judgment of the battlefield situation," Bai Xiaowen thought about it, and decided to make it clear to Cecilia, "Do you think that the remnant vanguard army can really defeat Prince Nicholas?"

Cecilia frowned.

Bai Xiaowen explained: "Now, the main force of the remnants has not yet arrived. If even a vanguard army could defeat the most elite Imperial legions in the Black Rock Fortress, this battle would not have to be fought...... Based on my judgment, His Royal Highness the Prince must have hidden a backhand, and the vanguard army of the remnants of this battle will be defeated. ”

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "So, we have to detour back to the enemy's rear now, ambush in the dangerous terrain, and cut off their way back...... When they were defeated and fled north, they were completely annihilated in a battle. ”

Bai Xiaowen still hid a word and didn't say a word.

The second main quest [Battle of Black Rock] requires ten days to defend the Black Rock Fortress.

The strength of the Baishi Army under Bai Xiaowen's command is probably only a few tenths compared to the entire battle situation, which is still in terms of numbers. If you look at strength, the ratio will be reduced to less than one percent...... In other words, the influence of the White Stone Army on the entire "general trend" is very weak.

This shows in disguise that the human combined army of the Black Rock Fortress itself has a certain strength, and can hold out for at least a few days under the attack of the remnants...... If even the vanguard army can't fight and collapses at the first touch, even if Bai Xiaowen is two levels higher, it will be impossible to reverse the general trend.

- Spiritual rules do not generate unsolvable tasks. Of course, this is off-site information, and Bai Xiaowen is not easy to say.

Cecilia said coldly: "I don't agree with your judgment, I only trust my own eyes. ”

This is the result of information asymmetry, although Bai Xiaowen trusts his judgment 100%, he can't convince Cecilia. Of course, this also has something to do with Bai Xiaowen's low prestige in the Human Coalition Army, if he gains the prestige of reverence and even worship, I believe Cecilia will also have to weigh the weight of his words.

"In the name of the commander of the third line of defense, I order the 19th Infantry Phalanx to follow my orders and move in a roundabout way!" Bai Xiaowen said in a deep voice, "Lady Cecilia, please carry out the order. ”

"A baron who relies on his ancestors dares to be so presumptuous!" Cecilia snorted coldly again, holding back even more harsh words, "I only obey the prince's orders, and the last order he gave was ...... Charge the whole army!"

Lord Julien rode up and said, "Don't be impulsive, everyone is a well-educated nobleman, and you have something to say......"

However, Cecilia looked down on even Lord Julien, turned her horse's head, and walked away, without any intention of continuing the conversation.

"Brother, I heard everything you just said," said Lord Julien...... "I have to admit that there is some truth in what you said, but it is contrary to the prince's orders, so I think we should be cautious, right? ”

Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "The fighter plane is fleeting, how can you wait for the military order?

"Oops...... Wait a minute," Lord Julien stopped Bai Xiaowen, "The young man is just impatient. In this case, I will give you the most elite cavalry team under my command, which is my direct guard, a total of twenty people, but all of them are elite. Instead of fighting the battlefield with those mud-legged recruits, you can send your men to retreat and survive. ”

“...... Don't you want to fight the team as soon as possible so that you can return to Black Rock City?"

"Hey, I'm talking about the newly recruited untouchables, those who go limp at the sound of the drums, and it's a waste of rations to live. These twenty cavalrymen are different, they are my treasures. Julien said.

“...... Let me emphasize again, I am going to the rear of the enemy, not retreating," Bai Xiaowen said, "Your precious cavalry may be damaged, and if you are unlucky, you will be wiped out." ”

"Hahaha, I know, I understand, detour, turn in, not retreat!" Lord Julien laughed, "Yes, if you really guess correctly, you intercept the rout route of the remnant vanguard army in advance, it will be a great achievement, and it will be worth ...... if my cavalry team is exhausted."

Bai Xiaowen was a little awe-inspired.

Lord Julien muttered again: "I can also share some merits, and it will be more face-saving to go back to Black Rock City......"

“......”

With twenty cavalry under Lord Julien, Bai Xiaowen ordered the whole army to take a detour and leave the battlefield from the side. According to his memory of the topographic map of the northern frontier, he quickly selected a dangerous terrain called the Black Iron Gorge fifty miles north of Black Rock City.

......

In front of Black Rock City, the battle was still fierce.

Prince Nicholas is in a predicament, which makes the nine northern lords of the three lines of defense (there are still eight left) very anxious, if Prince Nicholas has a mistake, how will they explain to the Plantagenet Empire?

Therefore, even though the elite strength of the remnants is strong, the human Northern Frontier United Army still advances with a lot of losses.

And the troll headhunters and orc spearmen who were fighting with the human Northern Frontier Coalition Army, under the loud scolding and shouting orders of the Vanguard Commander Kelman, also made great efforts to resist the opponent's advance, and did not give the Human Northern Frontier Coalition Army the slightest chance to rescue Prince Nicholas.

Cecilia fired a real fire and once again ordered the archers to shoot indiscriminately, and the rain of arrows reaped the lives of both the enemy and the enemy. And she herself led dozens of white-armored knights to charge in a sharp formation.

At first, the cavalry charge was overwhelming. But in the blink of an eye, the Vanguard Commander Kelman sent a team of stone armored monitor lizard knights to stop Cecilia's charge.

The Stone Armored Lizard Knight has a strong defense, like a heavy wall in front of it, and it is impossible to enter the conflict.

Losing the speed advantage, Cecilia's cavalry was surrounded by troll headhunters, and several of them were dragged off their horses.

Cecilia swung her bowstring and strangled a troll headhunter, and a hurricane of arrows cleared the path behind her, and she finally led her army out of the encirclement. Looking back at the white-armored knights around him, there were nearly ten less.

Cecilia's heart was dripping blood, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Keep rushing!"

Julien on the side persuaded: "Forget it, those barbarians who ride on stone armored monitor lizards are as hard as stones in a dung pit, and it is impossible for us miscellaneous troops to rush through." ”

Indeed, it was not only Cecilia who was hindered. The other units of the Human Northern Frontier Coalition Army also stalled in their advance, and they were entangled with the enemy's Stone Armor Lizard Knights.

Cecilia was not a fool and did not give the order to continue the charge, but opened her bow and arrows, and began to take advantage of a long-range leader-level powerhouse, arrow after arrow, reaping the lives of the elite soldiers of the remnant coalition.

This method of warfare is obviously familiar to the soldiers under her command. Dozens of white-armored knights surrounded her, with skilled archers in the inner circle, also starting to shoot, while heavily armored knights guarded the perimeter.

The infantry archers beside him, according to Cecilia's orders, launched a projectile at the largest target of the stone armored monitor lizard knights. Although the single damage is limited, there are too many of them to afford even these elite monitor lizard riders with amazing defense.

However, Cecilia and Julien's gaze at the enemy camp was still full of worry.

The enemy did not count the casualties on the frontal battlefield, but concentrated the main elite and leader-level powerhouses on the flank, attacking Prince Nicholas, obviously treating Nicholas as a big fish, as long as he captured and killed Nicholas, even if the frontal battlefield died, it would be a big profit.

Because the frontal battlefield of the remnant coalition army was originally only a small force.

And at this moment, behind Nicholas, a yellow flag suddenly rose and waved in the wind.

Immediately after, in the direction of Black Rock City, a terrifying energy fluctuation came, the earth roared and shook, and the sky was also cloudy!

A figure in a red robe slowly flew into the sky. The red bishop's robe on his body, like an inflatable, hunting!

Dazzling rays of light shot out from below, gathering on his body, reflecting him like a man of light.

Such a bright and blind light and shadow effect played a pretense effect of 82 points, and the warring parties, whether they were the remnants or the human coalition army, all stopped, staring in amazement at the "light man" who rose into the sky.

From the dazzling light, it can be vaguely seen that this is a tall old man, he is holding a luminous code in his left hand, and reading it aloud, the voice is like a Hong Zhong Dalu, and the whole battlefield can be heard clearly.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was void and chaotic, and the face of the abyss was dark, and the Spirit of God was moving over the waters, and God said, Let there be light. And so there was a light ......"

Accompanied by the sound of reading, the old man in the red robe also raised his hand with difficulty, as if carrying a heavy object, inch by inch, slowly rising.

“...... God saw that light was good, and He separated the light from darkness. ”

"God called the light day, and the darkness night......"

“...... There are evenings and there are mornings. This is...... Day 1 ......"

As the last word came out, the red-robed old man's finger also pointed to the top of his head.

The black clouds were dense, and suddenly it was like a sharp sword piercing the clouds, and the sky light poured down, directly covering the remnants!

Stone lizard knights, wolf cavalry, orc spearmen, troll headhunters...... Even the leaders of the vanguard army of the remnants were all shrouded in light.

In an instant, countless miserable howls sounded, and this holy light shone on the remnants, but it was like the torture of cooking in a frying pan, and every second, their health value was falling rapidly!

And the light fell on the body of the human combined soldier, but it was soft and warm, not only the health value was slowly recovering, but even the wound was slowly healing.

After a few seconds, the light dissipated, and the dark clouds in the sky disappeared. The red-robed old man who was shrouded in light also fell weakly into the city.

However, the situation on the battlefield has completely changed.

The Human Combine was full of health and morale, roaring and charging.

The Remnant Pioneer Army, all ordinary template soldiers who are illuminated by the light, such as orc laborers, etc., are directly purified. And those elite soldiers, even if they survive, are all injured, and in serious cases, their HP is even less than half, and they are also attached to the bad state of halving all attributes.

"Withdraw!"

Kelman, commander of the Remnant Vanguard Army, shouted hoarsely. As an experienced old orc, he knows very well that running away is not a shameful thing, as long as he can keep the fire of these elite soldiers, and when he joins the main force, he can still make a comeback!

Knock knock!

Kelman beat the drums of war and unleashed another boss skill, Inspire! The attack speed of the whole army is increased by 15%, and the movement speed is increased by 30%! Of course, he activated this skill in the hope of retreating faster, and counter-attacks do not exist.

With the sound of a rousing trumpet, Prince Nicholas struck the head of a monitor lizard knight with a hammer, and ordered the whole army to charge, pursuing the remnant coalition in order to extend the victory.

"Rush, justice will prevail!"

"Long live the Light!"

The lords of the Northern Coalition Army, one by one, led their troops to follow in the footsteps of Prince Nicholas and rushed over.

"Hey, that guy really expected it," Lord Julien slapped his thigh and ordered his infantry to charge, turning back to Cecilia, "What to do, hurry up, don't let those barbarians run away." ”

Cecilia frowned slightly, her bow and arrow pointed, and her white-armored cavalry led the team, and many archers rushed over.

Cecilia herself, however, was a little unhappy. For a while, she couldn't believe this fact, and was stunned for a long time.

"That hairy boy...... Did you really guess right?"

Lord Julien did not charge with the army, and he regarded his life as very important, so he stayed where he was, and said, "Yes, he guessed right. Hehe, there's a good show to watch now, I hope he can come back alive...... The group of savages retreated very decisively, and many of the elites escaped. With the speed of the Imperial Legion, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. ”

Cecilia quickly understood: "Yes, although he correctly judged the direction of the battle situation and laid an ambush in advance, he ...... Whether he can eat the rout of the remnant coalition army also depends on whether he has the strength. Are we too late to send reinforcements now?"

Lord Julien shook his head: "Let's go and report to His Royal Highness the Prince first." ”

......

Prince Nicholas was covered in blue armor and blood, and his originally handsome face added a layer of ferocity, but it was mostly the blood of enemies.

"Chase, chase, kill them all!"

Prince Nicholas wields a war hammer to boost the morale of the whole army. It's just that after all, the enemy has the blessing of the state of encouragement, and those who have survived themselves are elites, running extremely fast, and the longer they chase, the farther they go.
