Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 141: Eyes of Glory (1)
I had led a 20,000-man Horror Knight Corps in the "Dead Soul Space" not long ago, but the effect of commanding one person and commanding 4,000 people separately is naturally different - my energy is limited, and I usually issue group action orders. As for how to execute them, I have no time to take care of them. I can only let my subordinates do it on their own, and they usually charge like a swarm of bees in a mess, without any rules. However, each of these undead wizards only needs to control six Horror Knights, and they have enough thoughts to coordinate the actions of their subordinates. They are actually arranged in neat formations, in batches, with focus. Compared with the subordinates I command, they are more like well-trained "regular troops" with stronger combat effectiveness.
Once you reach the seventh level of the profession and master the "Angel Summoning", if you fight alone, the general Undead Wizard may not be the opponent of the Light Priest, but in a large-scale battle, as long as there is a certain amount of time to prepare, the Undead Wizard can continue to summon, and the Light Priests with the same qualifications and numbers are likely to be at a disadvantage. At the beginning of the war, although the Church of Light had assigned some players to take the initiative to attack and try to disrupt the Undead Wizard camp, Long Xing Tianxia had already done a good job of protection in advance. In addition, the front-line war was tight, and the main force had to protect the "holy relics". They could not spare more manpower to this side. The invaders were eventually annihilated, and now they have to face the mass charge of the Ten Thousand Terror Knights. If we were not worried about the reinforcements of the Church of Light and did not dare to delay any further, we should have a better chance of winning.
Each enemy often had to face the impact of several Terror Knights, and once they killed one, another would immediately rush up, forcing them to be overwhelmed. Even the Sky Knights possessed by the Archangel could not hold out for long in the face of such a "human wave tactic". As long as the Archangel was defeated, he would not have a second chance in the chaos and would soon fall under the knife of the Terror Knights. The only ones who could take advantage were the Knights, Angels or Pets with flying abilities, who launched attacks from the sky and killed and injured many Terror Knights. However, because they could not confront them head-on and were often threatened by long-range attacks launched by our magicians, shooters and other players and pets, they could not stop the torrent of the fearless Terror Knights' charge.
Although they tried their best to resist, the defending side was definitely at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the two knight armies. Facing the powerful impact of the Terror Knight Legion, the professional players of light could not hold on for long. One, two... more and more gaps appeared, and the inner defense line quickly collapsed and was broken through, turning into a melee again.
After a fierce fight, most of the Terror Knights had been wiped out, and there was no longer a large scale. Only a few scattered troops were still fighting on their own, hacking and killing the enemy, or being killed. Of course, the Church of Light also paid a huge price for this. The weaker level 6 professional players were almost killed or injured. Most of the remaining players were level 7 professional players and NPCs who could summon angels to help. However, the two level 9 professional players and four level 8 professional NPCs did not make any moves. They stayed firmly beside the "holy object", watching the lively fight outside, and never intervened. It seemed that they were conserving their strength to deal with our next direct attack on the "holy object".
The final siege finally began. We still had about 10,000 people. Although nearly half of them were necromancers, with their pets and some of them having cast the "Summoning of the Undead", we also had considerable strength. We all mobilized and formed many combat teams according to the prior plan. We rushed up from different directions, targeting the two "holy objects" and using all means to attack them, even if it was just a stab, an arrow, or even a small fireball... as long as we could cause a little damage, we would be one step closer to success.
There were less than 2,000 people left in the Church of Light. All they could see were two-winged archangels, some attached to knights, some flying independently in the air, guarding all the space near the "holy object". The most eye-catching ones were of course the six-winged Seraphs and the four-winged Angels of Light, guarding the four sides respectively. Melee professions had to get past them before they could get close to the "holy object". The cardinal and the two silver-robed bishops each cast a "holy light barrier" to protect the two "holy objects". In addition to the many barriers in front, ordinary long-range attacks would not be able to directly attack the "holy objects" unless they were close enough.
Relying on our advantage in numbers, we advanced step by step and tried our best to open a channel to attack the "holy relic". However, the enemy's counterattack was also extremely fierce. They summoned a Unicorn Paladin possessed by a Seraph and two Silver Pegasus Phantom Knights possessed by light angels. Although they did not actively attack us, they seemed to be specialized in dealing with players who launched long-range attacks on the holy relic. They could fly, move quickly, and were surprisingly powerful. No one could stop them. Once they targeted us, the distance of more than a hundred meters could be covered in an instant, and almost everyone was doomed to die. Moreover, they frequently changed positions and had no fixed protection area, making it difficult for us to find weak points and break through.
The area within 50 meters is the attack range of the Cardinal and the Silver Robe Bishop. With one Seraph, two Light Angels, and a Level 9 Magic Pet Flying Light Lion, three or five players rushing over are simply sending themselves to death. Even the Sky Demon Knight possessed by the two-winged Fallen Angel can't resist for a few rounds. Fortunately, these powerful NPCs can't take the initiative to attack and kill. Otherwise, if they attack directly from the beginning, our Undead Wizard may not be able to stay in the back so comfortably and cast "Summon the Undead" calmly.
As the battle continued, more and more allies came close to the front. Whenever they had a chance, they rushed towards the "holy object" without hesitation, trying to "touch" it at the risk of their lives. After all, there were only a few powerful enemies, and gradually some of them were "overwhelmed". Several times we almost threatened the "holy object" directly. Seeing the hope of success, our morale was greatly boosted. Afeng, Longkong, and Yue Linglong had also received orders to join a combat team and re-entered the attack. I was authorized by Long Xingtianxia to act at my own convenience, wait for opportunities, and try my best to play my own characteristics in order to cause greater damage to the "holy object".
The fierce battle was in full swing. Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in the sky. Squinting and looking carefully, it was a white sphere with a diameter of about half a meter. It seemed to have an enlarged eye carved on it. It was suspended above the "holy object". In a moment, the light was slightly reduced and slightly softened, but the light in the eye was flashing, and countless white light beams like silk threads were shot out, regardless of friend or foe, shining on all players and pets within a radius of 50 meters . Whether they were flying in the sky or hiding underground, they were all reflected by the white light and could not escape. After the light beams reached the body, they quickly expanded, making their bodies look bright and shining, emitting a layer of hazy white light, and the thickest light beam shot out from the eye shone on the cardinal directly below, covering him completely. It seemed that he should have released this prop.
