Chapter 348: Mercenary Association Crocodile Holly Sends Out to Fight in the Field
Such cruel scenes are common in countless wars. The power of technology and magic often determines the direction of the battle.
When the white-robed priest saw the situation, he immediately understood that this was the powerful defense technology of the magic tower, which was really amazing. Looking at the heavy infantry and three hundred sharpshooters who were caught in the air, he knew that these people were in great danger.
"Damn magic academy, you actually sell magic towers that match magic technology. Such powerful magic defense technology is hidden in a mere castle. You are really hateful," the white-robed priest roared angrily.
The magic amplifiers continued to be activated in turn, and the people and the exploring wolf were swept to a height of more than 30 meters. If they fell from such a height, there would be no possibility of survival, and no one would be able to do anything at that time.
The white-robed priest sighed and said helplessly: "Organize people to evacuate. We can't defeat this damn Sheldon Castle at all. Lord, have mercy on these children. They will eventually return to heaven, where there is no pain, only joy..."
Afterwards, everyone continued to organize the wolves to break out and retreat to a safe area, completely giving up the attack on Sheldon Castle.
In the end, all five thousand people fell from the sky and turned into meat paste. These corpses became food for the wolves, and nothing was wasted, while the armor and weapons were recycled into steelmaking...
The armed forces in the castle did not receive any orders, so they did not take action. When they witnessed this extremely tragic scene, they did not cheer, but were frightened by the huge casualties caused by the magic power.
The entire lawn had been stained red with blood, and corpses were piled up like a mountain. The bloodiness and cruelty made them feel deep fear from the bottom of their hearts.
This was not the scene of victory they had once imagined. The passing of life seemed so heavy at this moment.
Only after they saw the church's armed forces retreating in panic did they gradually recover from their shock and confirm that they had won. Then some of them began to smile slowly, and laughter and joy gradually rang out.
At this time, the Mercenary Association and the Assassin's Guild were closely watching the battlefield, and their reconnaissance birds kept sending news. Both sides had confirmed that the church had been defeated miserably this time, and the castle's magical facilities were so powerful that they easily scared off the church's armed forces.
On the side of the Mercenary Association, the president, Crocodile Holly, mounted his mount carrying three wolf packs and resolutely decided to lead his troops out of the city for a field battle.
He knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he prepared eight hundred light and heavy knights to fight head-on, with the rest of the troops assisting. In his opinion, the church's low morale forces would not want to fight, and this attack would yield rich rewards. The people of the city lined the streets to see them off, and with the afterglow of the setting sun, the warriors set out on a journey full of unknowns.
In the secret base of the Assassin's Guild, Lillian listened to the battle report brought back by the assassins. It has been confirmed that the castle has won a great victory, and the two armies have never really fought each other.
Lillian said anxiously, "Leader, can the assassination organization go out of the city to kill the enemy? How much is one head? Just name it."
The leader laughed loudly: "We have nothing to do. We are not good at frontal combat, and the number of combat assassins is limited. We can't make this money. Miss Lillian can't help. Let them plan to eliminate the church's armed forces, and we assassins will not get involved..."
Lillian said unwillingly: "Remember, your Assassin Guild owns 10% of the Rossi Company. Now the business road is difficult and you can't make a profit if you can't do business. You might as well think about killing these bastards and make some great military achievements. This girl will not be the assassin brothers' military pay, and there is no limit to the number of church armed forces you can kill..."
"My dear lady, we can only rely on sneak attacks and assassinations. We really can't do it because they are too many in number. This leader really hopes that the assassin brothers can capture the city and I can earn some money. To be honest, we haven't had any business for several months..." The leader shook his head helplessly.
Lillian said firmly: "Send the notice first. There will always be assassins who are suitable for taking heads among the thousands of soldiers. The leader's martial arts are not suitable, but it does not mean that other assassins are not capable. Maybe someone can find another way. It is still unknown..."
"Haha! Haha! Of course, what Miss Lillian said is absolutely right. We can just issue a notice and let the brothers make their own choices. This matter cannot be forced..." the leader responded.
Lillian smiled and said, "We didn't expect the war to end so quickly. Otherwise, the morale of the church's armed forces would be frustrated and they would be silent. We killed them to make sure they had no intention of fighting. We killed a lot of bandits..."
"Yeah, we didn't know that Sheldon Castle's magical defense was so strong. It's too late to mobilize now..."
Opportunities in war are often fleeting. Seizing the opportunity can gain huge advantages, otherwise you will miss the opportunity.
The roles and choices of the Assassins' Guild and the Mercenaries' Guild in this war reflect the culture and values of different organizations. The Assassins' Guild focuses on stealth and assassination, while the Mercenaries' Guild is more inclined to direct combat and obtain clear military exploits.
The war has a huge impact on business. The obstruction of trade routes has caused losses to interests, prompting various forces to make different decisions and actions for their own interests. Lillian hopes to kill a large number of church armed forces and open up the trade route as soon as possible.
It was too late to post the notice. Some assassins were hiding in the city enjoying their lives and would never come to the headquarters, so it was estimated that it would not be very effective.
At this time, the 800 light and heavy cavalry of the Mercenary Association rushed forward fearlessly. They were facing 100,000 enemies, and the terrain here could not accommodate 100,000 troops. The righteous mercenary high-level heavy cavalry and the church paladins launched a thrilling field battle.
The heavy cavalry corps surged forward like a steel torrent, the heavy hooves resounding through the sky, as if the earth was shaking. Each heavy cavalryman was wearing heavy armor, and under their helmets were determined and resolute eyes.
At the beginning of the battle, the heavy cavalry launched a charge amid the roar of their commander. They lined up closely, forming an unshakable steel line. The dust raised by the horses' hooves covered the sky and the sun, making people feel as if they were in chaos.
However, the Paladins of the Church showed no sign of weakness; they stood ready for battle, the power of Holy Light shining on their weapons and armor.
The paladins were dressed in gorgeous and sturdy golden armor, which was engraved with exquisite religious patterns and runes. These patterns flickered with faint holy light, as if granting them divine protection.
Their helmets are uniquely shaped with towering feathers on top, which not only add to their majesty but also provide a certain degree of protection in battle.
The Paladins' defensive skills are even more impressive. When facing the charge of the enemy's heavy cavalry, they will quickly gather into a tight defensive formation, raise their huge shields, and form an indestructible shield wall.
The holy light on the shield instantly intensified, forming a layer of light shield that could effectively resist the impact of heavy cavalry and the attack of arrows.
The mercenary heavy cavalry is very difficult to fight once it covers the face...
