Chapter 3: Nightfall (III)

For the belated arrival of the War Angel Legion, Rod did not rush to the accident, this is not the rhythm of the government agencies sending troops after the protagonist saves the world in Hollywood blockbusters, in fact, although a letter for help was issued, but for Rhodes, it was just in case, and he knew very well that there were more dangerous places than himself, and the War Angel Legion could not take care of it first, but Rhodes didn't expect the War Angel Legion to come so much faster than he imagined, It seems that the necromantic army besieging Moon may have all retreated for a while.

Walking out of the stronghold, Rhodes soon saw the army of war angels standing quietly in the square in a neat formation, under the dazzling sunlight, the brilliance of the platinum armor and pure white wings on their bodies even made people a little unable to look at it directly, and the aura of divine seriousness spread, and even Rhodes gasped. At this moment, around the square, those mercenaries and soldiers who were not on duty in shifts stood by curiously, pointing and saying something curiously in front of the war angels in front of them. It's no wonder that the War Angel Legion almost never shows up in front of people, although they can be regarded as the highest elite class in the entire Continent of Light, but because of this, Lydia has always hidden these War Angel Legions behind the scenes, and there are not many people who are lucky enough to see the War Angels on weekdays, and even fewer who see fully armed War Angels.

There were thousands of war angels in front of him, Rhodes was stunned at the door for a moment, and then slowly walked down the stairs, at the same time he squinted his eyes and slowly looked at the war angels in front of him.

In the game, the War Angel is an all-round unit, capable of attacking and defending, long-range melee combat without pressure, and also has a strong divine power and divine aura, but the standard equipment of the general War Angel is a one-handed sword shield and a longbow. They can switch between these two forms at any time, and either one is enough to provide a strong deterrent and enough danger to the enemy. The current army of war angels is divided into several square arrays, among which the first array has the most angels, and Rhodes roughly swept away, it is estimated that there are six or seven hundred people, and their bodies are about the same size as ordinary humans. He had a sword and shield hanging from his waist, and a longbow behind him.

The angels in the second array were a little different, they were much smaller than the previous angels, they looked as slender as elves, these angels were arranged in two arrays on the left and right, they held a huge horn that looked like a conch, and they were not wearing white gold sacred armor. Instead, he wore a beautifully sewn robe, which looked more like a musician or a mage or something.

Trumpet Angel.

Seeing these angels, Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly, the horn angels are an alternative among the war angels, their individual combat ability is not strong (of course, this is relative to the angel race, for humans, even the weakest angels are still not a problem to beat you ten), but the auxiliary effect is the top in the continent. An army blessed by the angel of the horn can burst out with ten times more combat effectiveness, in other words. If Rhodes had a horn angel before, he would even dare to let John open the city gate with a thousand soldiers and rush out of the city directly to charge the opponent's army of 50,000.

The angels were less numerous, and they were divided into two columns, the first of which held spears, and they were the strongest of them, as tall as two adults. Unlike the angels before them, they had four arms, two of which held spears, the other two held short staffs that looked like staves, and one held a scale.

This is the Angel of Judgment.

See them appear. Rhodes couldn't help but be amazed, the Angels of Judgment are the most violent guys in the Angels of War clan, their numbers are not many, but all of them are good at fighting, their four arms can ensure that these Angels of Judgment can cast spells while fighting, and with the Angels of War's own coercive aura and divine aura, they are simply strengthened when facing the undead army. Rhodes once saw mentally handicapped players with brains in the game who dared to form a group to brush the Angel of Judgment, but a group of thirty people faced a Judgment Angel with heavy casualties, and they were wiped out ten times in a row and were not able to touch a single bird feather of the Angel of Judgment, although the general level of players at that time was only fifty or sixty, but they were also strong enough with talent support, and they didn't even have the power to fight back in the face of the Angel of Judgment, which is enough to show how powerful the Angel of Judgment is. In fact, in the game, they are also high-level units in the high-level, although the level of the Angel of Judgment is generally only in the early seventies, but it is a monster at the elite level of the lord, and its strength can be imagined.

The number of angels in the back row was the least, no more than fifty, they were not very tall, about the same as humans, but what was striking was the equipment of these angelsβ€”β€”β€” they carried behind them a golden crossbow that was a man tall, and it looked like a giant cannon. And when he saw them, Rhodes almost slipped under his feet.

I'm gone, Dawn Angel!?

This time Rhodes didn't even be able to hide his surprise, the Dawn Angel is the top class in the entire Continent of Light, although their level is also a seventy-level lord elite template, but it is recognized by players as one of the strongest troops in the Continent of Light, their attack means are actually very simple, there is only one β€”β€”β€” that is long-range shooting.

But the problem is power.

The power of the Angel of Dawn is almost equivalent to a magic cannon, and the range is extremely long, the accuracy is 100%, and the power is strong, it can almost be said that every Angel of Dawn is a self-propelled humanoid cannon, and what is even worse is that there are many different styles of long-range shooting of Angel of Dawn, she can blast out a strong beam of light like a magic turret, and she can also silently shoot ordinary arrows of light, the latter can almost be called an assassination weapon, the arrows shot by the Angel of Dawn have no sound, and the range is extremely long, The effective distance is thousands of kilometers away, and the arrow can be fired without missing a shot, and the rate of fire is close to the speed of light, not to mention that the arrow shot by the Dawn Angel itself has the attribute of destroying demons.

In the era of the Creation War, the Angel of Dawn used this trick to make countless powerful spellcasters who had advanced to the peak of the legend die with hatred, and could be called the most veritable mage killer in the entire Dragon Soul Continent.

It seems that Lydia really values herself.........

Rhodes shrugged his shoulders and made a joke on himself in the depths of his heart, of course he knew that Lydia would send the Angel of Dawn here, and that the Fort of Atonement was the first line of defense on the Plains of Parfield. Once this place is lost, then the undead army invades directly, and after entering the Pafield Plain, you can sweep all the way directly to the Golden City, it can be said that due to the geographical environment of Parfield, the fortress of the Land of Atonement has become the initial and most rearly barrier to the southwest of the entire Pafield-Grunbel territory and the Duchy of Moon, once it falls. The location from Parfield to the Golden City didn't allow for a second line of defense, so it wasn't unusual for Lydia to send a heavy force here. But now at least Rhodes is much more relieved, after all, no matter how strong he is, it is simply impossible to fight against the undead legion with his own strength, and with the War Angel Legion here, the little bubblegum and canary can also have less worries in the future, at least it should be able to reduce the probability of being noticed.

In an instant, Rod guessed everything in front of him, and he walked down the stairs. When he came to the queue of the War Angel Legion, he soon saw one of the War Angels striding in front of him, she was about the same height as herself, her blonde hair was tied in a ponytail and tied behind her head, and she looked like she was only twenty-three or four years old, slightly older than Rod, but Rhodes also knew very well that the ages of these long-lived races were unreliable.

"Hello. Your Lordship. ”

The angel of war who came to Rod did not look arrogant at all, and she saluted Rod respectfully. Then he spoke. The voice of the Battle Angel is crisp and beautiful, coupled with the unique tone of the Celestial Language, making even an ordinary greeting so tactful and good.

"I am Beni, the head of the Fifth Legion of the War Angel Legion, and I have come to assist in the defense of the fortress of the Land of Atonement on the orders of Her Highness Lydia, and from now on, my men and I will fight under your command. This is the order of Her Royal Highness Lydia. With that, Benny took out a letter sealed in red mud from her bosom and handed it to Rod. We are the first reinforcements, and the next ones will arrive in two batches in ten days. ”

"Thank you."

Rhodes reached out to take the letter, and was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect Lydia to be so reassured of himself, the Battle Angel Legion was so powerful, and the force that could be used as a thousand horses was directly delivered to him without hesitation at all. In all fairness, even if Rhodes himself had such a strong military power and wanted to hand it over to someone else to command, he would have to beat a drum in his heart, originally Rhodes thought that even if Lydia sent reinforcements, she would send a wartime commander she trusted to come here to take charge, and at most it would be a cooperative relationship with himself. I didn't expect Lydia to be so bold and directly hand over all the legions to herself?

Rod shook his head at the thought of this, and then he quickly began to focus on another issue.

"Two more reinforcements?"

"Yes, my lord, Your Highness has ordered the Knights of Radiance and a portion of the Parfield garrison to come along, followed by the Third Fleet of the Royal Wizard Fleet. Lord Parfield has promised to provide you with a full logistical supply of the Land of Atonement Fortress. ”

That's a big battle.........

Although he was mentally prepared, Rhodes couldn't help but gasp in his heart, and even the Knights of Radiance and the Royal Third Wizard Fleet were dispatched, and it could be seen that Lydia really attached great importance to her own line of defense.

"What about the rest of the world?"

Thinking of this, Rod put away the letter and asked.

At the mention of this, the originally gentle smile on Bennie's face quickly faded.

"Very bad, my lord."

She let out a long sigh and spoke.

"The undead army has been attacking frantically a few days ago, we are already struggling just to defend, due to the lack of preparation in advance at that time, many places are in the midst of war, so far, the Land of Atonement Fortress is the only fortress on the front line that has not fallen."

Saying this, Beni smiled bitterly.

"It's not a good thing to say, but to be honest, I was relieved when I came to your lordship's fortress, and I didn't see the ruins, the dark smoke, and the corpses with you, which is probably the only comfort I can get now............" said Beni's face to become serious. My lord, now that the battle lines elsewhere are in a state of stalemate, although the temporary retreat of the undead army has given us a respite, we can never get back what we have lost. So, at least we should protect everything we can. Mistress Lydia has asked me to pass on the message, and as long as she can keep this front, whatever your needs are, she will do her best to meet them. ”

"I see what you mean, Miss Bennie."

Hearing Beni's answer, Rhodes nodded, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, looking at the war angel in front of him.

"Wait, Miss Bennie, you just said ............ Her Royal Highness Lydia will take care of all my needs? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Beni's expression couldn't help but be a little strange, although she was an angel, she didn't think about it like a human being to the angle of "any need", but anyone could see the smugness and greedy brilliance in Rod's eyes at this moment, which made the war angel a little dissatisfied, but she hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, my lord."

"Good."

Hearing this, Rod's eyes rolled, and then he quietly looked at the war angel in front of him.

"So, I have a little request....................." (To be continued......
