Chapter 200 There was a loud noise in the sky, and the Elf Longbow made a brilliant appearance!
"Woo——"
The high-pitched horn sound sounded in the military formation, like a thunder before the arrival of heavy rain, giving this vast plain a layer of gray color.
Under the provocation of the Antolians, the believers wearing brass harpy masks were already furious. After all, no one would have thought that those damn Antolians would do such bad things. things.
They could not accept the desecration of the gods in their hearts by others, let alone the desecration of the harpy statues by the Antorians.
So...
in their extreme anger, they charged towards the Antorians without any order at all.
From a distance, it looks like a group of insects suddenly bursting out of their nest, swarming out in an instant.
The brass-colored masks reflected a pale luster in the embers of the setting sun, and the weapons in the hands of the believers shone with an icy edge.
If it were the rest of the army, they would probably be frightened by the angry believers in front of them, and would even find it difficult to have the courage to fight with them.
However, the military formation put up by the Antolians did not change at all due to the enemy in front of them.
Today, they are no longer new recruits who have never seen blood.
Needless to say, the Antolian mercenaries are experienced in many battles.
Which of those young Antolian militiamen and Lapruk warriors has not set foot on the battlefield?
The invasion of plateau hounds, the suppression of the southwestern highlands and even the civil war in the Kingdom of Andal...
It may be an exaggeration to say that he has experienced hundreds of battles.
But the weapons of each of them have definitely seen blood, and most of them have been injured.
Strict military discipline has made the prohibition of orders the most distinctive feature of the Antolian army.
Leon never believed that simple obedience training could make soldiers invincible, but at least it could make soldiers understand the importance of following orders.
Therefore, after experiencing the baptism of war after war, even if there is a group of "mad dogs" running towards them not far away, they will never disperse like other noble private armies.
Even the levies sent by the vassals to make up the numbers became high-spirited after knocking on a small red bottle, without showing even the slightest hint of timidity.
"Clementi."
Looking at the enemy troops pouring out of the town, Leon couldn't help but cast his eyes on the moon elf elders beside him: "It's time to give the elf long archers under your command a shock enough It's about to begin."
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Clementi's face was filled with excitement.
In a sense, this battle to attack Idar Port was the first shining appearance of the elven longbowmen, and it was the solemn announcement of the elves' return to the mainland stage.
Although the moon elves also took action in the previous night attack on the city of Navarre, under the darkness of the night attack, the moon elves could not shine even if they wanted to.
So when Leon marched westward and led the army towards Port Idar, the people of Navarre realized the existence of the elves.
So for Clementi, this is an extremely valuable opportunity!
"Shoot!"
Following his command, arrows shot out of the air.
At the same time, behind the elf long archer, a shadow of the World Tree suddenly appeared.
Against the backdrop of the pale golden sunset, the green projection seemed to exude starlight, and even the elven long archer's body seemed to be covered with a layer of light cyan gauze at this moment.
The power may not necessarily be enhanced, but the special effects must be gorgeous and cool.
As an elder of the Moon Elf clan, Clementi understands the true meaning of his first appearance.
Therefore, when the elven long archers launched the first round of volleys, the 144-year-old moon elf elder immediately used the magic weapon that is only used during sacrifices. Group atmosphere magic.
The sharp arrows reached directly in front of the remnant believers of the restoration of the country in a flash of lightning.
Even though they had just rushed out of the city gate at this time and were far from the normal bow and arrow range, but... this is precisely the power of the elven longbowmen.
Even though they are extremely far apart, almost every arrow fired will take away the life of a believer.
Four hundred and fifty arrows meant that nearly four hundred and fifty people were hit by arrows.
If it weren't for this long-range attack, which required the elven longbowmen to spend a lot of time accumulating power, just a few rounds of volleys would be enough to drive away the group of crazy believers.
Even the well-informed Leon could only snap out a series of 666 in the barrage at this time, and began to think involuntarily in his mind. If it was the Antorians who faced the elves' long-range attacks, what would happen? What kind of situation will you face.
The answer is simple, you must have full-body armor or a defensive device like a shield car!
...
Standing on the city wall of Idar Port, as a cardinal, Delon's eyes were splitting.
There are only a few thousand believers in Port Idar, or to be more specific, there are only less than 2,000 people in total.
A single salvo is enough to cause such heavy damage. Not to mention the small number of followers of the remnants of the restoration of the country, even the major kingdoms on the mainland may not be able to withstand such a torment.
It is true that such a huge loss is directly related to the lack of protective gear on the believers, but... now that fighting is happening, where can I find armor?
Fortunately, the enemy's sharpshooters seemed to have collectively collapsed after a round of volleys. Otherwise, let alone the chance of winning, whether the believers who rushed out of the city could rush in front of the Antolians was a question. .
"We can't delay it any longer! Let's perform the blood sacrifice!"
Delong said in a deep voice while looking at the extremely miserable battle situation not far away.
If possible, he certainly hopes to be able to hold on in the city.
However, with a score of two to one, it was a foregone conclusion to go out of the city to fight. The followers of the remnants of the restoration of the country had even rushed outside the city and suffered the first wave of losses.
So...
hold a blood sacrifice immediately! Welcome the arrival of the Harpy!
In Deron's mind, this has become the only hope for victory.
...
Leon stared at the town not far away.
He felt that some kind of huge terror was brewing in Idar City.
It was a specious magical atmosphere.
Even from a distance, Leon seemed to be able to feel an aura that was very similar to ancient magic, and...a pungent smell of blood.
"What are those guys doing?" Leon couldn't help but frowned.
At the same time, a blood-red light gate seemed to appear in the sky above Port Idar.
Isn’t this a low-demon world? !
Leon's eyes widened and he had already clenched his staff tightly in his right hand.
"A special magic cyclone."
Beside him, Albert, the archmage of Antolia, said in a deep voice: "A type of projection magic that compresses and releases the magic in the air in a short period of time, thereby creating a powerful spirit. Power, opening a door of light that can connect to thousands of miles away." "
However... this kind of thing is usually not very useful, and it cannot transmit any entity. Many years ago, the church of the Kingdom of Andal also used a similar one. To achieve miracles through means, the church at that time relied on the power of believers' devout faith to form a light curtain that did not actually have actual magical power. But this one in front of us..." "Not only is the magic cyclone extremely unstable
, , It seems that there is a possibility of collapse at any time!"
As he spoke, the shadow of the blood-red light door suddenly began to tremble violently, while releasing a suppressed, gloomy and frightening aura, and at the same time, blood-red streaks of The light fell from the sky and poured into the relics of the restoration of the country who rushed to the front.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
Clementi's roar came from the Antolia military formation.
In an instant, the elf long archer's second salvo finally completed its charge.
Under Leon's gaze, the sharp arrows pierced the chests of the believers. However... unlike the previous falls to the ground, the believers who were hit by the arrows seemed not to feel the slightest pain, nor were they aware of the pain in their bodies. Blood rushing out in front of him.
They seemed to have become ruthless machines, still rushing towards the Antolian army that was gradually getting closer.
"Form up!"
"Draw your sword!"
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
The shouts of the Antolian generals rang out one after another. The elven longbowmen who were originally in front quickly retreated. A solid shield wall was built in front of him.
And under the entanglement of those blood-red thin threads falling from the sky, the brass-colored masks on the faces of the survivors of the restoration of the country began to gradually be sewn together with their faces, and their eyes full of white eyes kept beating in their eye sockets, and even Bright red blood continued to ooze out.
The blood vessels on the believers' faces and heads began to swell, like raised tumors. Even the flesh and blood on their bodies became blurred and swollen in the process, as if being swollen by an invisible force. Manipulated and driven by power.
"So ugly!"
Leon gave an extremely objective and fair evaluation.
Even though Antolia's soldiers are well-trained and have experienced war, have they ever seen such a posture?
Even though the consciousness of obeying orders has been imprinted in their hearts, the palms of their hands holding the weapons can't help but be soaked with sweat.
Are those guys...still human?
It can't be delayed any longer!
Leon looked at the thin lines that kept pouring out of the blood-red light door, and immediately made a judgment based on the situation in front of him.
At present, only the believers who rushed to the front experienced such a terrifying change due to the entanglement of the thin thread.
But blood-red threads still continue to pour out of the light gate. If this situation continues, then the Antolian army will no longer face thousands of crazy believers, but a group of indescribable people. monster!
And...
there were already bursts of shrill wails coming from Port Idar, and an increasingly intense layer of terror and fear seemed to linger over the town.
According to Albert's previous statement, a mere few thousand believers cannot form a magic cyclone of this scale.
I am afraid that the remnants of the restoration of the country are taking advantage of the fear of innocent civilians, using killing and intimidation to build the blood-red light door that appears over Port Idar!
Only in this way can we explain the constant trembling and extremely unstable situation of the light gate.
"Light!"
As the sun was about to set, a bright and dazzling ball of light was slowly condensing above the Antolian military formation. It was like the rising eastern twilight, illuminating the vast plain and covering the vast plains. The film becomes an increasingly weird battlefield.
This is the magic that Leon used when the Sami tribe attacked the Thorn Territory at night. (PS: Chapter 55-56)
Facing the unstable light gate, the strong magic fluctuations will destroy the structure of the magic cyclone and turn the blood-red light gate into nothingness.
Perhaps Leon's strength alone is not enough to break the light gate formed by the fear and fright of the three cardinals as "bait".
But...
Leon at this time is no longer the Leon of the past, and Antolia at this time is no longer the Antolia of the past.
While Leon was chanting magic, the close assistant Fast Priest appointed by Leon had also skillfully placed buff apertures on Leon's body one by one, counting from the soles of his feet upwards. There are more than a dozen.
If it were placed on the top of the head, it would be as tall as an archangel!
As the archmage, Albert pointed the wand in his hand at the sky above Port Idar. A straight beam of magic light burst out from the top of his wand, rushing towards the blood-red light in mid-air without any hindrance. Light gate.
Although the same ancient magic is studied, the results that can be achieved by the research by the archmage and the research by the mage are completely different.
And this solid beam of light is one of Albert's achievements.
In fact, if it falls on a person, this seemingly solid beam of light will not cause much damage.
After all, this world is ultimately a low-demon world.
Without chanting magic spells, no matter how majestic the light beam is, it is no different from the magic factor that fills the air in daily life. It is just that the magic factor is thicker, and at most it will only cause a slight discomfort. .
But Albert's purpose was not to cause harm.
Leon's light curtain was designed to cut off the blood-red threads that shot out.
Albert's beam of light was intended to use the surging magic factors to disrupt the magic cyclone over Idar Port and fundamentally destroy the conditions for the existence of the light gate!
...
Nearby, Antolia's soldiers were already in close combat with the monsters.
The Antorian shield faced the monsters' impact, but this time, even the Antorian shield-bearer, who was as strong as an ox, couldn't help but stagger under the huge impact.
The sharp blade slashed at the monster's vital points again and again, but the believer who originally only needed one knife to kill him could often take away an Antuo while being hit by several knives when he turned into a monster. The lives of Leah soldiers.
Fortunately, Leon's light curtain propped up cut off the blood-red threads falling from the sky, preventing the number of monsters from increasing over time.
The magic cyclone in mid-air also trembled violently under Albert's constant impact...
I have a headache. Although I no longer have a fever, I still feel not completely recovered. I have to go to the study room during the day, and my whole body is in a state of explosion... If there is anything unreasonable, please correct me (end of chapter
