Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 142: Eyes of Glory (2)
Suddenly struck by a beam of light, many players who were fighting paused and looked around, but when the light professions saw that it was the Cardinal's move, they immediately renewed the attack, while the allies of the "Resistance Alliance" were busy moving around or using certain props, trying their best to get rid of the reflection of the beam - something as powerful as the one released by the Cardinal would definitely not be good for us.
It was a pity that the beam of light was like a leech on the heel, and there was no way to get rid of it. As several strong lights flashed in succession in the originally gentle eyes in mid-air, white light suddenly appeared on the bodies of the allies rushing in the front. They suddenly became unsteady in their movements, at a loss as to how to advance or retreat, unable to find the right target in their attacks, and unable to defend properly. Surrounded by powerful enemies, they made random moves, simply playing with their own lives, and soon fell one by one under the enemy's attacks.
This situation continued. Every ally who was illuminated by the strong light would be confused and soon killed by the surrounding enemies. At most, there were eight people with bright light on their bodies at the same time. In just a few minutes, more than twenty players were killed. Allies who were illuminated by the white light within 50 meters of the "holy relic" suddenly felt in danger. Many players panicked, which affected their performance and caused some unnecessary casualties.
Soon, Long Xing Tianxia sent a message through the internal channel, "Everyone be careful, that cardinal should be Satri, he is using a light artifact 'Eye of Glory', which can not only detect all creatures within a range of 50 meters, but also release 'Eye of Blindness', which has the effect of causing blindness. Up to eight 'Eye of Blindness' can attack at the same time. However, it cannot cause direct damage, everyone must be calm, even if they are hit by 'Eye of Blindness', do not panic, calm down and defend , if you can hold on for a moment longer, you can buy more time for other companions. As long as more people are involved in the attack on the 'holy object', Satri will be unable to cope with it. A single artifact can only cause us some minor troubles, and it will definitely not affect the overall situation."
The "Resistance Alliance" has been committed to gathering intelligence on the Church of Light. They are big and powerful, with many churches, and they don't need to act quietly like the dark NPCs, hiding their identities. They have many opportunities to show up, and some NPCs with jobs can even be considered public figures. In addition to the information provided by some insiders, they also have a lot of internal information about the Church of Light. As a director, I naturally have the right to know this, and I receive regular updates. I also have some vague impressions of this Cardinal Satri and his artifact "Eye of Glory". It seems that I have seen relevant introductions before, but I just didn't remember it for a while.
The fear was more because of the unknown. Once we knew the details, we felt much more at ease. A mere artifact only made our attack a little more difficult in the melee, and it was powerless to turn the tide. We were outnumbered and the decline was hard to reverse. Most of the light professional players had died in the battle. Some of the remaining strong ones, such as Supreme Honor and Holy Heaven, retreated to the vicinity of the "holy objects", relying on the protection of the paladins and cardinals, and were still trying their best to deal with us. As long as they could hold on for a while, protect the two "holy objects" from damage, and wait for reinforcements to arrive, it would be their victory. Among them, I vaguely saw the figure of Hua Mantian. I hurriedly told Afeng, who was lucky enough not to be killed. I thought that if there was a chance, he would be happy to kill and send Hua Mantian off.
Almost all of our attacks were directed at the two "holy relics". We did not engage in much struggle with the cardinal and the paladin. We were powerless to resist anyway, so we simply let them kill us. You can fight ten or even a hundred enemies at once, but what about facing more enemies? Although the "human wave tactics" are simple, they are quite effective in many cases. The continuous killing made these powerful NPCs no longer as brave as they were at the beginning, and their reactions gradually slowed down. Even the "holy light barrier" that had been protecting the "holy relics" may have been too exhausted and unable to continue to maintain, so it had to retreat to protect itself, giving us more opportunities.
Seeing the last batch of expert players such as Long Xing Tian Xia and Desert Eagle rushing forward, I also started to act. Red Star's "Life-Calling Flying Spear" was naturally the most suitable long-range attack weapon. Under the protection of six terrifying Earth Dragon Knights, while the Paladins were busy chasing the long-range attack professional players on the other side, I threw it at the "Twelve-Winged Golden Angel Statue". In fact, it was the most important item. Destroying it would be equivalent to destroying the Church of Light's hope of rebuilding the Oriental Cathedral.
The bone spear hit the target accurately. Such a powerful blow naturally attracted the enemy's attention. The nearest Phantom Knight rushed over hastily, but Hong Xing ignored him and swung his spear, preparing to launch a second attack. The six terrifying Earth Dragon Knights raised their swords to the air at the same time, staring at the attacking Phantom Knight, trying their best to delay him and buy some time for Hong Xing.
At the same time, Shaman launched the "Blood Claw Breaking the Air" on the other side, hitting the "Twelve-winged Golden Angel Statue" from a distance. Except for the shorter range, the power was not inferior to Red Star's "Life-seeking Flying Spear", which immediately attracted the attention of the Paladin, and turned around and flew straight over. Shaman was caught up before he escaped far. He ran high and low, dodged three shots in a row, and was no longer able to dodge. He quickly transformed into a bat form and used the "Blood Shadow Clone", killing one and injuring two, and successfully escaped to the side - except for me and Long Xingtianxia who have the artifact, it is probably the only one who has the ability to escape from the Paladin's gun.
Taotao's sacrifice bought time for Hongxing to launch the last "Life-Taking Flying Spear", and Shaman's constant escape and dodging meant that even a strong paladin could not kill it quickly, indirectly buying more opportunities for other allies. With Long Xingtianxia's timely launch of the "Poison Dragon Spear", the "Twelve-Winged Golden Angel Statue" shattered , foreshadowing the initial failure of the Church of Light's plan to "transport treasures" to Beijing.
With one of the two treasures destroyed, we began to launch a more frantic offensive to attack the only remaining "holy disk". Every "holy object" destroyed was equivalent to weakening the strength of the Church of Light. However, the White Cardinal and the Paladin, who were originally trying their best to participate in the defense, suddenly abandoned the "holy disk" and gathered together to support each other. They quickly broke out of our encirclement and rushed to the uninhabited area in the distance. It seemed that they had abandoned their duties and their subordinates. The two level nine NPCs wanted to escape together to protect their lives.
