Heart of Empire

Chapter 522: weak

Views:

After the army of the Holy Alliance stepped into the magic circle of the Cursed Church and was attacked by the undead army that broke through the ground, they suddenly fell into chaos.

The elite level of the undead army is much higher than that of the Holy Alliance Army. In addition, the army was attacked suddenly. The undead that broke out of the ground obviously greatly exceeded the expectations of the human army, and they were caught off guard.

At the same time, undead creatures are very terrifying existences for human beings—or for all creatures. Perhaps, after dealing with the undead more times in the future, brave human warriors will know that these carrion and skeletons are actually nothing special, but when fighting them for the first time, humans will indeed instinctively drive away the undead that represents death. to fear.

These all catalyzed the chaos of the human army.

However, no matter what, the army of the Holy Alliance is also a regular army, with a number of 15,000 people. Of course, under the sudden blow of the undead, they did fall into panic at the first moment, but if they continue to fight like this, as long as the command system of the human army does not lose their minds, calm down and lead the troops to fight back, eventually It should be the human army that wins.

And so it is.

The chaos of the Holy Alliance's army did not last long. Under the command of the officers and the command of the commander-in-chief, the entire army restored order at a relatively fast speed, and began to fight against the undead.

According to the organization, the human soldiers who formed a team would no longer be defeated or killed so easily.

At the same time, those priests and paladins are not just for nothing. These clergymen themselves have a pretty good restraint ability against monsters spawned by negative energies such as the undead.

As a result, the army of the Holy Alliance gradually stabilized its position after paying more than 2,000 casualties.

Although they only brought relatively weak casualties to those undead, after all, the numerical advantage is still there, and order has been restored. The final victory does not seem to be too difficult.

However, Firmino, who was observing the war from a distance, still did not think that the army of the Holy Alliance would win the final victory—at this time, the magic circle set up by the Church of the Damned had just performed another important function.

In other words, this newly effective function is the most important effect of this curse circle.

I saw that those human soldiers who were killed in the raid of the undead before stood up again after lying on the ground for a while.

These people, whose chests may have been torn apart, or who may have received fatal wounds on their necks and heads, and who have no chance of surviving, took up weapons and killed their former comrades after they were resurrected.

These reanimated undead are just the most common undead warriors—a type of zombie.

Of course, the weapons and equipment of the resurrected warriors are all from their lifetime, but they have completely lost their memories and personalities belonging to living beings, and have become monsters driven entirely by negative energy.

However, the most frightening thing is that while they lost most of their memories, they retained some fighting instincts left in their bodies.

This makes them difficult to deal with.

These resurrected fighters who stood up again greatly changed the situation of the battle! More than 2,000 reanimated fighters, although their individual combat power is weaker, but to a large extent, they make up for the lack of numbers of the undead troops.

Moreover, the human soldiers did not think of this at all. They lack the awareness of fighting the undead, let alone the psychological preparation to fight life and death with the resurrected comrades.

You know, fighting against monsters like ghouls, which are completely unrecognizable and completely non-human, although there is fear in the heart, you still dare to fight. But what about swapping the target for a familiar face, or even someone close

The morale of the army was shaken.

However, if that's all it is, the human army just needs to pay more casualties, and it will still be able to win the final victory. After all, they still have an advantage in hard power no matter what.

But in fact it is not.

Fighting under the curse circle is a kind of ebb and flow. When a human soldier falls, it means that the strength of the army is weakened; however, when this soldier is quickly resurrected under the evil force and joins the ranks of the undead, it actually strengthens the strength of the undead.

This battle was fought out of the ordinary.

After the Holy Alliance suffered a loss, it is not that there is no progress at all. After seeing this scene, the commander of the coalition forces, Sir Kahn, realized that the corpses of the dead soldiers would also become his own troubles. He quickly came up with a corresponding solution—in his army, there are a large number of divine spellcasters!

The clergy were soon assembled again.

The paladins went to the front line, and their combat skills against the undead were quite outstanding. From the very beginning when they were trained in the temple, they had focused on learning this aspect. With their holy power, they can kill the undead quite efficiently.

Moreover, as they fight, the holy power will be continuously thrown out, which can enhance the combat ability of the human soldiers who follow them and fight together, boost morale and give blessings.

Paladins, and the advanced professional paladins of paladins, are natural leaders, and no one will question this.

As for the priests, they stood on the second line, using large-scale purification spells to purify the bodies of human soldiers who died in battle, so as to prevent evil forces from desecrating these heroic sacrificed soldiers.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction.

But soon, the army of the Holy Alliance encountered greater difficulties.

After the battle lasted for a period of time, after the human army managed to gain a certain upper hand in the battle for the first time, they found that they seemed to have become weaker.

Priests feel more difficult to cast cleanse spells, and consume more and more mana. A purification technique could originally purify a piece of corpses, but now it can only purify three or two gathered together; the mana consumed by releasing the purification technique now is almost twice that of when the battle started.

Moreover, the degree of difficulty is still rising further.

And this is just the feeling of the casters. The soldiers and paladins fighting on the front line clearly feel that they have become weak.

Whether it's physically or mentally.
