Chapter 631 Raid
The rescue team pursued the whole way out, but did not find the temple guards that had run out of the village. So they began to search one by one along the village, until the fourth village, without any warning, and were surrounded by three thousand "Holy Cult Army" knights who gathered and ambushed in advance.
"Rose Cross" came with the purpose of a joint talk, and the leader was a "Temple Bishop" who could enter the core power level in three years. When he saw the "Holy Cult Army" around him, he rode out of the queue calmly and expressed his hope to talk to the leader, but he never thought that a guy in a robe would come out among the messy guys in front of him...
The elder Claude of "Virgate Cross" looked calm, while the temple bishop of "Rose Cross" was instantly wet with cold sweat. He realized that the Pope and the Cardinals might have had a serious misjudgment about what was happening now, but before he could make any decision, Claude in front had already raised the scepter in his hand...
"kill!"
"puff!"
The sharp arrows suddenly shot out in groups, breaking through the sacred shield that the other party hurriedly cast. As the "Temple Bishop" screamed and fell, the believers hidden in the "Holy Cult Army" started to siege, and the knights who didn't know the truth had no way out at this time and could only be carried and joined the battle...
At this point, all the external armed forces in the temple have completely fallen.
On the chaotic battlefield, the Temple Guards struggled to support the barely built formation, but were hit by enemies that were several times more than themselves on the plains. Such resistance lasted for a few minutes and then collapsed. At this time, the excellent equipment changed from an advantage to a burden. The soldiers fled one by one, and they wanted to take off all their armor...
However, what greeted them was basically the knights' first strike.
"Kill! Take his armor!"
"That sword is mine!"
In this chaotic battlefield, hiring knights has no demeanor at all. Some poor and crazy guys even jumped off the horse and stripped the armor on their bodies. After all, pure metal armor is extremely expensive. The Temple Parish has been rich for many years. The quality of these armaments is far greater than the Xibei goods in the hands of these tribes and ninth ranks, which is not surprisingly aroused the looting.
Roddy rode on the horse, running back and forth on the battlefield aimlessly - he seemed a little confused, actually observing the elder Claude in secret. As the real strong man of the "Virer Cross" on this battlefield, Claude's shadow magic technique was extremely powerful, almost suppressing more than a hundred temple guards who were trying to resist with his own strength.
However, Roddy's eyes never stayed on Claude, because he knew that this kind of gaze was very sensitive to the guy with a strong level, so he did not forget to use his poor sword technique to swing left and right twice while running.
"Raphael! Stop running around by yourself! I will chop with you with the uncle, that's all I can do!"
Zach screamed in a voluptuous manner, and he loved this kind of favorable battle - his war horse immediately hung up a string of spoils, which was obviously very rewarding. After seeing Roddy's performance, he became generous, and the knights who were vaguely leader of him also waved to Roddy and signaled to join the battle group.
"Okay... OK!"
Roddy pretended to be unfamiliar and controlled the horse, but from the corner of her eyes glanced at the Claude who had stopped and stood in the center of the guards...
*******
The Temple Warriors who fled on the battlefield felt that they were suffering from hell, and at the same time, the city defense soldiers in the Temple City hoped that everything in front of them was just a nightmare.
After all, it is all for them to blame for not being beaten by the enemy for too many years - since the Temple area was in the past three decades, no one has dared to come here to cause any trouble, so the Temple has the habit of not placing curfews at night.
According to the rules, the city gates will not be closed after dark, and all city gates will be opened during the day. Today's emergency situation obviously surprised the city defense force. After hesitating for a while, they carefully closed the other city gates, leaving only the main city gates to open, waiting for the "Temple Guard" troops to return.
The "Temple" is naturally more than the one in the city. If there is a war demand, the Pope will continue to order it, and the major dioceses will immediately gather thousands of troops. However, in the present few hours, the "Temple" cannot do this at all.
In peacetime, raising a large number of troops was just a burning money, so there were only more than one thousand standing troops that could be used in a hurry. All the remaining were the inner city guards and the Holy See guards who could not move, as well as the city defense forces responsible for city patrols.
The city defense force is the worst-quality one, and basically does not need to receive any military training. Therefore, even the captain of the city defense team is still not sensitive to military affairs. According to common sense, when the city enters a state of war, the entire "Temple" defense should be led by the bishop to take over. However, at this time, there were only one hundred people left in the "Temple Guards", and the bishop in charge of defense has never fought a war, so he did not think there was anything to defend at the moment. He sat in the pavilion in the outer city, waiting for news of the talks ahead.
But before he could sit down and drink a sip of tea, the soldiers on the city wall screamed and sent an alarm.
"What's going on? What happened?"
The bishop stood up to ask, but learned that a neatly decorated unit suddenly appeared on the road in the distance, and the vanguard of cavalry was speeding up towards the city!
The news immediately made him a little confused - if it weren't for the Temple Guards who had just been sent out, who would have come? Could it be that Count Mirno expressed his dissatisfaction and sent his knight troops to negotiate in person?
From beginning to end, he never thought that the "Shrine" might face the frontal attack of the "Virgate Cross", because such a thing is ridiculous. When he climbed the city wall and saw the clergy in the black robe in the army in the distance, he suddenly widened his eyes...
"This, this is-" He glanced left and right, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Close it quickly-go and close the city gate!"
His entire back was soaked in cold sweat for a moment. When he turned his head and looked under the city wall, he found that the hundreds of cavalrymen were racing hundreds of meters away...
The iconic black robe of the "Virgate Cross" is clearly identifiable. The knight in armor looks cold and his armour pointed his rifle into the sky. This is obviously not for negotiation, but an assault force that is ready to take advantage of the situation!
