Chapter 4 Barrier Sword of Death

Looking at the undead gathered under the statue of the goddess, Russell once again thanked his ancestors for their wise decision thousands of years ago.

Sending the nobles in China to the Church of Light, stealing the secrets of the church, while exploring their actions and adjusting the strategy of the Northern Alliance, this was originally the fastest way to conquer the entire Northern Continent. If it weren't for the princess of the small country of Zidaya, the Church of Light would not have known my intentions so quickly.

That's right, just annexing the land on this continent can't satisfy me at all.

What I want is not only the northern continent, the western and southern continents, and then... the eastern continent, which is entrenched in countless dark races, will also completely destroy the night elf empire ruled by the arrogant woman. I want her to know...

Only Russell, is the real king in this world.

I had long expected that the woman would never easily miss any opportunity to use her allies, so I brought the Holy Spirit Knights. No matter how strong the undead are, the Church of Light can still restrain them.

Since the night elves decided to temporarily truce with the church and jointly deal with the Northern Alliance and the Demons, it is inevitable that the undead will participate.

Seeing the dead souls that were wailing and pounced on the special force that they were brought to the battlefield by themselves, Russell smiled unrecognizablely.

Although the Holy Spirit Knights rank the last in combat power among the four knights in the church, if it comes to dealing with the undead, it is indeed the strongest legion that is incomparable to the other three regiments.

******************************************

Under the attention of the demons and Ningal soldiers, the knights drove the war horses to walk at the front of the team, behind them were priests and priests in white robes. They moaned hymns to send the final prayers and blessings to the knights who were about to enter the battle.

A faint fluorescent fell on the knight's silver armor, and the protected talisman was greatly enhanced by the priest's prayer.

Seeing the dead soul coming, the priest Scar raised the Sid scepter, which represented his identity in his hand.

"The Holy Light, descend the blessed shield."

The blessing prayer lowered a solid shield, and the knights who had raised their spears and rushed towards the enemy were covered with a barrier that was invisible to the naked eye, successfully resisting the fatal blow that the dead soul could take any life.

"The goddess of light, the goddess of life, drive away the darkness of dawn and dispel the immortal resentment. Shine, the divine light, the sword of life that illuminates everything." After the priests' shield was completed, the priests quickly recited new spells. The sacred power surged out of their bodies, and even the ash clouds that had covered the land for thousands of years in the sky dispersed. This wonder made the human defenders in the Psalm Castle look up and look up.

"What is that, it actually dispels the black clouds entrenched above the Canyon of Songs." Alisha looked in surprise at the black clouds that shot through the entire canyon like arrows.

This, how is this possible?

That is a curse, the unwilling resentment of the dead has been generated after thousands of years of accumulation.

"The answer is not already obvious, Duke. It is a spell unique to the Church of Light." Batuya only knew that even though the distance was very far, the extremely dazzling golden light was the best proof.

Only the clergy of the Church of Light, which serves the goddess of light, can disperse the dead.

"The Grand Priest of Shadral..." Kalan's puzzled eyes turned to the Grand Priest of Light, Shadral, who had been silent since he came to the Psalm Fortress.

"What the hell is going on? The great priest? Why do the church people want to help the enemy? You know that the undead was standing by our side to fight, why..." Alisha didn't understand why, why did it mean to deal with the Northern Alliance and the churches of the Demons together with the northern countries to do such a thing.

Even the layman, he knew that the Holy Light Technique was a light spell specially used to deal with the dead.

"..." Shadlar did not answer the lord's question, but Batuya explained it.

"It seems that the young mercenary king has been ready for rebellion, no... Maybe it should be said that Ningal had already had the idea of ​​annexing other countries since the era of the previous king Flan.

The Holy Spirit Knights, the only church knights formed by nobles outside the Holy Empire, are also the strongest legion of the church against the dead. For thousands of years, members of this army have been the nobles of Ningal. Perhaps the Emperor of the Pharaoh decided to let other nobles enter the core of the rights of the Church of Light because of Ningal's geographical location. But... In this way, if Ningal had any ambitions, the internal secrets of the Church of Light would be leaked to Ningal, who had become an enemy."

"So, what you mean is...Ninger's army is now using the Holy Light in the Land of the Dead!!" From Batuya's explanation, Aliche also heard some of his whispers. Didn't the Dean of the Magic Academy say that in addition to the army of the demons, even Ninger and the Northern Alliance army have arrived?

"It's true, we're in the worst situation. No one would have expected that the demons and the Northern Alliance would merge so quickly. Hahodell... can't be saved anymore." Although he didn't want to make such a pessimistic conclusion, the facts were already in front of him. Shadral nodded helplessly, and he didn't want to defend Hahodell before the coalition arrived.

But now even the last glimmer of hope has been shattered.

Regardless of the Northern Alliance, even if there is only the vanguard of the demon clan, it is impossible for them to defend themselves with the defenders in the fort for too long. The demon clan is not something they can defeat in terms of quantity and strength.

"Is there no way...we, do we, do we lose Hahodel like this? Without this strategic fortress, it will be so difficult to gather troops to counterattack in the future. Once it is captured by the enemy, what should the people in the city and those who fled from other places do?"

The temporary combat command tower was silent, and no one could come up with a solution to the current severe situation.

Just as everyone was immersed in the troubles of the fortress being about to lose their protection, the land of the dead, which had become the battlefield, emitted dazzling bright light again.

However, this time it was not the golden holy light that was previously golden.

The dark red mixed with the black dark power completely suppressed the sacred light that had just been summoned.

"What's going on? That strange and uneasy aura... What happened over there..." Looking at the spinning like a storm, Alisha hoped to get Batuya's answer again, but this time he chose to remain silent.

"You will soon know how powerful Duke Valesi, General Underworld War, is. Although the spells of the Church of Light can restrain the undead,... she is the only exception. Even the king cannot completely resist the magic from the Goddess of Light, but that undead can actually take away the severely damaged king without any injuries when the goddess comes in a fighting posture. Perhaps we can expect and look forward to the miracle. If it can be delayed for ten days, we can wait for reinforcements, and Hahodell will be saved." Shadlar bet on all his hopes on Roland, and he firmly believes that it is not easy to force the Church of Light to the undead who uses the dragon covenant.

It all depends on you, General Roland, the Nether Station.

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

It seemed as if the sword forged by light was slashed with the power of light summoned by prayer and magic according to the target pointed by the priests, and the dead souls evaporated in an instant.

Holy Light Technique...

Staring at the team that had successfully hit the attack, Roland immediately recognized the source of the spell.

Church of Light!?

No, although they were wearing church costumes and using light spells, it should not be the church's secret attempt to deal with me or Rafa.

Let’s not talk about the church currently being an ally with Moya. Once there is no help from the dead, the church should know that Hahodell will definitely not be able to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements.

Then these people are the legendary Holy Spirit Knights, and Ningal's reinforcements finally arrived... It seems that the Demons and the Northern Alliance wanted to break through Hahodr in one breath to block the last line of defense to the Western Continent, and kill the envoys of the great powers at the Ping Conference in one fell swoop.

For example, if something happens to Moya, the envoy who is not a nominal monarch but holds the highest power, is unimaginable.

Although the Sword of Light has extremely powerful power and can destroy low-level undead spirits, the undead knights who have been following Roland did not shrink from it.

For these undead who have lost the opportunity to reincarnate the soul, whether they kill the enemy or are forever destroyed, they are most eager for it. Just wait for the general to give the order to attack, they will engage in a new round of battles, causing the enemy to die or...destroy themselves.

"Get out, everyone."

Unfortunately, General Nether Zhan did not intend to put these companions who were eager to fight into the battlefield of the Holy Light Knights.

"General?" The Death Knights did not understand why the commander did not allow them to enter new battles. For them, only death and destruction were the meaning of existence.

"You are all my most important subordinates. Even if you have lost the memory of your life, even if destruction is the true liberation, I still don't want any of you to disappear before my eyes forever."

"But……"

"I said, retreat!! From now on, you are not allowed to participate in the battle with the Knights of the Holy Light, go back to the Psalm Castle, protecting it from being destroyed by demons or humans, and the Knights of the Holy Light... will be solved by me alone." After angrily giving the order to retreat, Roland lowered his most loyal troops back to the Psalm Castle in the rear.

In order to prevent the Demons and the Northern Alliance from attacking the human fortress behind when the Knights of the Holy Light were restraining the Sword of Death, she decided to stay.

Only by solving this knight who can destroy the undead can the undead be re-entered to the battle against the enemy.

The Undead Knight actually retreated...

Seeing those black armored death knights actually turned around and ran towards the Song Castle.

Russell, Galba, and Sharin exchanged a look of "what the hell is going on" with each other.

"Is that undead planning to stay and deal with the Holy Spirit Knights? Haha... It's ridiculous. Did it become an undead not only not knowing fear, but also being slow to think? A Holy Spirit Group with a number of more than 3,000 sets aside the ability to deal with the undead. Each of them is a knight with superb martial arts. No matter how good the undead is, no matter how strong the body is, it is impossible to fight against it by individual strength." The mercenary king loudly mocked the enemy, but he soon discovered that his allies were not as optimistic as him.

Galba and Sarin both had a shadow of worry on their faces.

"Is that so-called strength is only based on human beings. Indeed, the Church of Light has the Golden Tree Knights of the Holy Empire as a training base, and all the knights taught are strong among human beings. But... have you forgotten the most important point, I am not human?" Holding the black crystal on the chest armor with his right hand, Roland began to release the power that he had been blocked since he entered the earthly realm.

Can't hesitate anymore, they are enemies!

If they were allowed to break through Hahodr, more people would die in the war.

Forgive me, Rafa, I know you have always disliked my childish and naive ideas.

But... I still can't abandon the feelings I have as a human being.

Sorry, I use the power you give me to protect the human you hate the most...

"Open it, my seal."

The dark red light was released from the crystal in his hand and continued to expand, and finally turned into a pillar of light that reached the sky. The breath of death belonging to the undead began to increase, and the black shadow completely enveloped Roland.

"seal?"

Russell, Galba, and Sharin couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard Roland's last two words.

"What the hell is it? Seal... Could it be that she sealed her own power? How is this possible? Why did she do this..." The priest's mind was in chaos. Isn't it strange why the female undead had to seal her own power?

Am I missing any important information?

What is it? It has been ignored since I saw the undead who looked exactly like the High Priest of the Dark Night.

Seeing the dark clouds gathered again by the aura of death, the sunlight disappeared shortly after the sunshine shining on the land, Shalin discovered an amazing fact that she had been overlooking.

Although the land of the dead is very dark, it is noon now, and the undead dares to appear during the day.

Even though there were thick black clouds blocking the sunlight, the pastor of the Light Church used spells to break the resentment that enveloped the sky here. Whether it was the brief sunlight or the holy light technique, the undead knights suffered varying degrees of damage, but she was not burned by the sunlight and the power of light.

Isn't this very strange? Even if the monarch can rely on his own strength to resist the Holy Light Technique, the heat from the sun will definitely damage their frozen bodies. Why, she is safe?

Could it be...

Suddenly remembering the legend that circulated on the northern continent decades ago, Shalin shouted with a big change in his face, "General, something is wrong."

"What?" Galba was attracted by the strange scene ahead, and he didn't react for a moment.

"We who are determined to break through Hahodell quickly don't realize the seriousness of the matter. The undead intends to summon new companions again, and are definitely a undead that is stronger than the dead souls and the Death Knights just now."

"It's just to summon companions, what does this mean?" Without understanding the sacrificial words, Galba could not guess what the meaning of "the big thing is not good" in her words.

"General, haven't you noticed it? It's noon now! The undead actually used summoning techniques again and again during the day, and the undead he summoned was higher and higher. From the lowest level of the soul to the death knight, she is still planning to summon new undead. Don't you think it's scary? Although above the tenth level can be considered as high-level undead, this guy is definitely not just an ordinary undead knight. If I guess correctly..."

"What are you muttering?" Notice the whispers of the two commanders of the demon clan, Ruthel did not want the two guys to hide any information they knew from him.

"His Majesty Russell, we may have encountered the strongest enemy in this trip south. Perhaps, it is an enemy that is much more difficult than the High Priest of the Dark Night."

"What did you say?!" The mercenary king did not believe the words of the female priest of the demon clan at all.

What's there to be afraid of the undead who is shorter than Moya? These two pioneer commanders are too cowardly, they are just one undead.

"That undead is not an ordinary undead. She is very likely..." Feeling the contempt that Russell gave from his heart, Shalin did not defend himself. Anyway, it was impossible to explain clearly to a person without magic to an elemental elves.

Before the priest finished speaking, the so-called "seal" had been lifted.

The light column that had previously illuminated the entire land of death dissipated, and the black air that was like a cocoon also completely subsided. The undead that appeared in front of the army made everyone who saw her take a breath of air conditioning at the same time.

The black armor that originally felt dim and dull suddenly became extremely ferocious. Some kind of black, blocks slowly slid on the armor, squirming like living things while making a terrifying strange "hissing" sound.

Nightmare's body has not only doubled, but even the black breath of death that envelops its body has become stronger. If you inhale accidentally, you will die instantly.

"Tsk, has your ability been enhanced... Go ahead, Scal, completely eliminate the undead!!" Seeing that Galba and Sharin's faces were wrong, Russell turned his head and saw that Roland's whole body emitted a black aura of death that could be seen with the naked eye. Russell, who had already made his heart feel irritated, urging his subordinates to quickly destroy the undead that made him feel uneasy.

"I am the sword, the sword of revenge, the sword of death that will never break. No one can destroy my soul and body except my master." Waving the demon sword in his hand, Roland drove the dream demon to rush towards the Holy Spirit Knights who stopped moving forward because she lifted her seal; "Awaken, everyone in the Knights, there is no way out, and it has been destined from the moment you betray your faith."
