Chapter XXXIX Attack Down
Richard took the lead in instigating the war horse, and the trained and fast war horse raised its iron hooves and trotted all the way to the temple thousands of kilometers away. &&The sound of the horse's hooves converged and became louder and louder, with a palpitating coercion. The shutters of a house on the side of the road opened, and a man leaned into the window to look out, almost screaming. He immediately covered his mouth, closed the window tightly, and then collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up again.
There was another dull vibration in the road, and the two ogres strode forward with the cavalry. There were also many traces between the buildings on both sides of the road, and the nine-headed velocids scattered in a line, running forward on the two wings of the team. They display remarkable agility, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, running for a while, and then jumping into a dark alley. They are different from normal beasts, but have a certain amount of intelligence, and Richard can now give them some simple commands, including getting closer, moving freely, staying in a certain place to observe, and attacking a specific enemy.
Less than five hundred meters from the temple, Richard kicked his horse again and began to pick up speed again. As a result, the sound of hooves became more intense, like the muffled thunder before a rainstorm. A brightly lit tavern on the side of the road suddenly opened, and two drunken men walked out, wearing the uniforms of the garrisons, who seemed to be on duty tonight, but they were both half drunk in the tavern. They looked down the street to see what had disturbed their revelry.
At the sight of the galloping cavalry, one of the drunks immediately opened his mouth wide and muttered, "Oh my God, what is that!?"
The other garrison was more sober, and when he saw the terrifying figure of the ogre from a distance, he exclaimed on the spot: "It's the devil from the other plane! Oh my God, they're in the city, go and ring the alarm......!"
Before he could continue shouting, an arrow suddenly flew out of the darkness and pierced his throat with such precision that the rest of the shouts were all shut back. And the other drunken man swayed, and before he could figure out what was happening, a foot knight had suddenly jumped on his horse, and as if a gust of wind swept by, the one-handed battle axe flew like lightning, and the head of the drunken garrison immediately flew high!
The cavalry rumbled past the tavern, followed by two ogres, so frightened that the tavern discouraged any desire to step out, and hastily closed the door, extinguishing the lights.
The main entrance of the temple was already in sight, and two knights dressed in golden and ornate full-body armor stood straight on the long staircase, standing like two statues. They were actually only subordinates, and only when they were on duty to stand guard were they qualified to wear the full-body armor that only true Templar Knights could distribute.
Richard hung his long knife on the side of his saddle, and without stopping, he rushed towards the temple steps!
The temple guards had spotted the attacking enemy, one raising his two-handed greatsword while the other shouted warning.
The wind howled, and two more arrows chased after Richard, shooting straight at the two guards. The guard who shouted warning was shot in the face and fell to the sky. Another guard, fully guarded, blocked the arrow with a sword. After all, Oral is not a full-time archer, and the crosshairs and power of the second arrow will drop significantly when he shoots quickly.
However, the infantry knights on both sides rushed faster than Richard, and they rushed all the way down the stairs to the temple door, and with the force of their horses, they swung their axes and slashed down, and the temple guards flew backwards suddenly, and the breastplate had been cut open by two cracks, and blood gushed out. With a loud thud, he slammed into the temple gate, then bounced off and fell to the ground.
It was only then that the alarm bell began to ring, and the majestic but rapid sound of the bell echoed in the sky of the harbor and the city, not only awakening all those who had fallen asleep, but also causing Fosa, who had just fallen into bed, to sit up suddenly! The baron's face was pale, and his frightened heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he rushed to the window, and opened the curtains, just in time to see a flash of fire in the direction of the temple.
"It's ...... Intruders attacking the temple?" Fosa could barely believe his eyes!
The doors of the temple are ornate and elegant, but they are not known for their defense. The two ogres slammed into each other with all their might, and in a few clicks the gate collapsed inward. Amid the loud noise and the flying dust, Richard took a few steps forward and began to chant the incantation. In less than three seconds, two fireballs flew into the temple one after the other, and a chaotic exclamation suddenly sounded inside! At this time, not a single defender in the temple had time to run to the door.
Richard's vision was still blocked by the flying dust, and he couldn't see what was going on inside the temple, but he didn't care what was going on inside, and he could send out the spell. According to the information obtained, his two fireball techniques were not untargeted, if they were not blocked, the landing position was thrown in front of the altar, and the entire back half of the temple could be covered within the power range. In a semi-enclosed space, the power of stacking fireballs will also be increased accordingly.
"Tiramisu, three medium-cooked!And you, go over there!" Richard shouted, gesturing to the right side of the temple. The two infantry knights, the elf Orar and the two-headed ogre, immediately bypassed the temple from the right passage and rushed to the Templar Knights' station dozens of meters away. Behind them, the swift beasts rushed over like a black tide.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Splash silently slipped against the wall of the temple, while Gonder strode in from the front with a great axe, shouting, "Tremble, reptiles!" A knight of foot warfare followed Gonder with a large shield in hand, ready to help him. This is also a habit formed after many battles, after all, Gangde's body is too eye-catching, and he likes to roar and roar, and he is always the most noticeable guy on the battlefield.
Richard and Quicksand also walked into the temple, and saw six heavily armed Templar Knights rushing out from behind the pillars on both sides! Richard's pupils shrank slightly, and he said, "Why are there so many Templars!"
It was so late at night, and normally most of the Templar knights should have gone to rest, with at most three or four knights waiting for the night watch. However, the appearance of six knights in full heavy armor at the same time was very unusual. But when Richard saw the scene in front of the altar, he understood what was going on.
Although he didn't see any visible damage to the temple building when he was outside, the scene in front of him was obviously that the fireball technique had perfectly exerted its destructive power, and it was even better than expected. There was already a mess in front of the altar, with seven or eight corpses scattered around, and the statue of the god of courage was tilted back, and the entire altar and its surroundings were littered with unextinguished magical flames.
It appeared that some ceremony was secretly taking place inside the temple, but it was interrupted by Richard's surprise attack. And it was only a few breaths between crashing open the temple door and opening the way for Richard's two fireballs. The first fireball had a time-delay effect attached, and the two fireballs that exploded almost simultaneously suddenly made the clergy who were performing the ritual nowhere to escape, and they didn't even have time to form protection.
