Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 84: Holy War of Light (6)
There was only one hour left, and there was no one of our members left alive in the hall on the first floor, including the undead creatures I summoned. The Cardinal and the Paladin of Light, who had been commanding outside the hall, entered the hall, surrounded by eight phantom knights and silver-robed bishops each. They looked up at the direction of the stairs, and then two teams of phantom knights and silver-robed bishops, each with a hundred people, rushed in and lined up neatly behind them. Judging from their equipment and momentum, they should be the elite among the elite.
Fortunately, the width and height of the staircase are only about ten meters, and the slope of the staircase is very large. If the priests of light do not go up to the second floor, but just stand on the stairs, they can't use the "Great Saint Spear" to attack us. The best way to attack is to send angels or flying knights of light to attack. However, the previous attempts were repeatedly attacked by the undead led by Khufu. We have no ability to break through their interception, step onto the second floor, and eliminate our "remaining enemies".
As if they knew how strong we were, they entered the meeting hall without delay. The cardinal summoned a six-winged Seraphim and a ninth-level magic pet, a flying lion, while the Paladin of Light also summoned a ninth-level magic pet, a unicorn and a six-winged Seraphim. The phantom knights beside them were all silver Pegasus mounts and possessed by light angels. The pet of the silver-robed cardinal was a glorious tiger king, and they quickly rushed towards us. The leader was the unicorn paladin possessed by the Seraphim. The big boss who led the team personally came out, and he really thought highly of us.
With six wings on his back and a golden spear in his hand, he is definitely not an ordinary person who is qualified to command such an elite NPC army. The six-winged Seraph he summoned is estimated to be upper level nine, and the mount under his crotch is also an upper level nine unicorn. Even if the attack, defense, and agility attributes are weakened by 50%, the overall strength should be above the middle level of nine. Fortunately, the space at the staircase is limited, and there are Taotao and Wuma guards on both sides to support him. The Paladin of Light cannot exert his mobility, so Khufu can barely hold on.
The harassing attacks before have become a thing of the past. The focused NPCs are so crazy and terrifying, as fearless as the undead under my command, especially the strongest phantom knights. Each of them has a unique item. Only Taotao, Wu Ma and Qitlei, who are at the intermediate level of level eight, are capable of confronting them head-on. Dizang, Gonzalez and Silando will be hurt if they are not careful. Had's magic attacks and the blood mist spitted by the blood bat couple can still come in handy, but Guben can only shrink back helplessly and dare not fight at all.
At the critical moment, it was really thanks to Khufu. Maybe it was because of the experience he retained after going through the tribulation and rebuilding, that I realized now that his fighting ability is really strong. He unfolded a fire bone staff and fought against the paladin holding the golden spear without giving an inch. The 108 "crazy staff techniques" were quite effective in defense. Even with the "body protection holy light" of the six-winged Seraph, he would still be cursed by the mummy if he was hit too many times. He had to retreat temporarily and the priest of light cast a spell to exorcise it for him, which gave us a little more breathing space and allowed us to make slight adjustments to cope with the next wave of attacks.
With a "hiss", his eyes lit up slightly, and a golden beam of light about one meter thick descended from the sky and hit Khufu, who was busy dealing with the Paladin. However, it was the Cardinal who climbed up the stairs and seized the opportunity to perform "Judgment Day". When the golden light touched his body, a puff of black smoke suddenly rose from Khufu's body, and he staggered. The Paladin took advantage of the situation and rushed up. The golden spear in his hand created a dazzling golden light, and swept across and hit Khufu. As long as he forced it back, he could rush to the second floor, gain a foothold, and occupy the second floor with the cooperation of other NPCs.
It happened in a flash. Khufu, who was retreating, suddenly stood up and tried his best to stabilize his body. He quickly swung his staff and used the "Thunderbolt Strike" to forcefully block the golden spear that the Paladin swept over. It was a bit disadvantageous for its hasty attack, and was knocked to the ground, but the Paladin was also knocked back two steps and failed to rush to the second floor. Shaman reacted the fastest, and used the "Blood Transformation" to first spit out a mouthful of "Blood Evil" to seal the Paladin's senses, and then rushed forward to attack wildly, leaving him no room to recover, and immediately forced him back two steps, and then turned and leaped, avoiding the second "Doomsday Judgment" issued by the Cardinal. The Ksitigarbha next to him immediately used the "Airtight" and rushed forward to block the gap, forcing several enemies who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to block them on the stairs.
Yun Wuying and Nan Feiyan in the back shot arrows at the cardinal on the stairs, but he had the Flying Light Lion to protect him and block the attacks, so he was not a big threat. They could only be doubly careful and kept changing positions to guard against his " Doomsday Judgment" attack.
I released the "Blind Fog" three times towards the stairs, trapping the cardinal and other nearby silver-robed bishops inside, but they quickly dispersed it and didn't delay much time. Even the "trip rope" was unable to contain the paladin, so I could only rely on Khufu and other powerful subordinates to fight head-on. Moreover, facing many powerful enemies attacking at the same time, I had no time to specifically command Khufu and Taotao on how to fight. They acted completely based on their instincts. Fortunately, they were all highly intelligent undead and performed extremely well, otherwise I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hold on.
Being able to summon Khufu is really the most fortunate thing. Even though it was hit by the Cardinal's "Judgment Day", it still behaved very strongly, waving the Fire Bone Staff and charging forward to block the Paladin's attack. Of course, it was more careful when it was moving, always on guard against the Cardinal's attack again. And I used the last resort, instructing Xiaobai and Feiying to use "Banshee's Howl" to attack the enemies approaching the stairs with all their strength. Except for the stronger Paladin, it was not affected, but it would have some effect on other NPCs. At the same time, I used "Death Touch" to entangle the Paladin. Although it was not very effective, it could also contain his performance and win more opportunities for Khufu and others.
Of course, these two level nine NPCs don’t have any artifacts, which makes me very fortunate. Moreover, my subordinates behaved quite “bravely”, and the two bosses definitely had no intention of fighting with us to death, otherwise we probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on until now.
"Sword and shield flying together", the seriously injured Dizang shot out two swords and two shields at the same time before being sent back to the "Dead Soul Space", directly destroying the six-winged Seraph possessed by the Paladin, forcing him to retreat and summon another one, and Shaman even spit out two mouthfuls of "blood evil" in the end, and fainted directly, and was killed by the enemy. We tried our best, just thinking about guarding the stairs and holding on for the last hour.
"Dang..." A pleasant bell rang, and the group of light NPCs who were launching a fierce attack suddenly stopped their attack, retreated like a tide, and returned to the "unable to attack" state. At the same time, the system prompt sounded, and our United Alliance finally survived the twelve-hour "Holy War of Light" and did not suffer the fate of destruction.
