"Not yet... I have to wait for a while... "
Hiding in the tree, listening to the tragic sounds of fighting rang out from the forest, Benjamin couldn't help but clenched his fists and muttered to himself with some confusion in his heart.
According to their plan, at least two-thirds of the pursuers must enter the designated range before they can show up to fight back. But before that, the large army serving as bait will obviously have to undergo a severe test.
In the picture he sensed, many soldiers in the back row had been overtaken by the knights of the church. Some people were swarmed before they could resist and were killed directly; some people stopped and gritted their teeth to fight for their lives with the pursuers, but in the end they were inevitably besieged... This was a very cruel picture, especially for the wounded. They rolled to the ground, howling in pain, but were eventually trampled by iron hooves so hard that even their bodies could not be preserved.
Benjamin wanted to jump out and end it all, but he had to hold back.
If the ambush is exposed in advance, the significance of the ambush will be greatly weakened. If they are unable to defeat the pursuers in one fell swoop, they will suffer even more heavy losses in the subsequent battles.
In addition, he also discovered some shortcomings in the ambush plan.
- Those who chased into the woods were all the knights. Most of the priests were still flying in the sky, indifferently overlooking everything below. They seemed to think they had no need to take action, and few of them pursued them into the woods themselves.
"Is there any way to lure those priests into the woods?" he asked in his mind.
"No." The system replied lazily, "I'm not a fool. Knights alone can solve everyone. Why would they waste their mental power?"
Benjamin couldn't help but rub his temples.
If those priests are unwilling to fly in, then... then we can only forcefully attack them.
The number of priests in the sky is still quite large. The team of nearly a thousand people is like a thick cloud, blocking out the last bit of light in the sky. There are about two or three bishops among them, and they must be solved first, otherwise it will definitely bring them huge trouble.
Benjamin marked their location in his mind and gradually got ready.
And when the pursuers in the woods were almost lured...
boom!
Benjamin did not hesitate to detonate the ice layer that had been buried underground in advance, and the loud noise was deafening. The whole forest seemed to be caught in an earthquake. Everyone in the forest felt the ground shaking. Many cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another. Other pursuers showed stunned expressions and looked around with panic on their faces.
At this moment, the Iker army, which had been holding back for who knows how long, finally began to counterattack!
"Kill!"
The overwhelming shouts of killing rang out from all directions, and the pursuers who had been arrogant just now suddenly fell into a complete encirclement. And those Icol soldiers who were running around changed their momentum at this moment, drew their swords, turned back, and rushed towards the pursuers in overwhelming numbers!
"Kill all these sons of bitches!"
"Revenge for General Kent! Revenge for the dead brothers!"
"I asked you to chase me! Keep chasing me? Keep chasing me!"
The accumulated anger that was about to reach its peak erupted like a volcano, instantly overwhelming the group of bewildered knights. They may not have thought until their death why these soldiers, who had just been slaughtered by others, would burst out with such terrible fighting spirit at this moment.
Not only that, the mage who had been patient for a long time also suddenly jumped out of the tree, summoned overwhelming magic, and launched it madly at the still dazed pursuers!
The dim woods shone with light one after another at this moment.
The pursuers of Horli Kingdom were completely in a state of collapse.
Southeast, northwest, up, down, left, right... No matter where they looked, they could see enemies everywhere. At that moment, the pursuers fell into complete chaos. They didn't even know what to do and could only wander around in confusion.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"There's an ambush! Let's retreat quickly!"
"We can't withdraw! God's will guides us. We are all a bunch of homeless dogs. Let's kill them all!"
In the chaotic environment, almost everyone was shouting something, and even the captain of the cavalry was unable to issue instructions to unify everyone's actions. And once that group of people fight on their own, they can no longer be called an army.
Not to mention the forest environment which is not conducive to the performance of cavalry. A group of cavalry stopped charging... What else is there to be afraid of
Benjamin didn’t even need to take action.
"Oops! They actually set an ambush in the woods!"
In the sky, the priests looked down with expressions of disbelief. They didn't understand. Where did these soldiers from Ikol get the courage to trick them even though they had been defeated
However, they did not show too much panic.
"Bishop Hunter, take the people down to help them." An older bishop slowly spoke in a calm tone, "Ants are ants after all. If you let them go for a while, they will think they can bite an elephant. .”
Beside him, another bishop nodded, waved, and flew toward the woods below with a large number of priests.
Suddenly, only two bishops and dozens of priests were left in the sky. They looked at the scene below casually, looking at the scene of Bishop Hunter leading the priests to fight against Ikol's army, and even looked a little bored.
"The loss this time may be much greater than before. We'd better think about how to explain it to His Majesty the Pope." Another fat bishop said.
"What's there to explain? It's not like he's a blessed paladin." The elder bishop shook his head and said, "His Majesty the Pope will not blame us for this. At most, Bishop Harry will spread some rumors behind his back, so there is nothing to be afraid of. .”
"Bishop Harry..." the fat bishop sneered and said, "As a bishop, all he knows how to tell is nonsense. I really don't understand how he became a bishop."
The elder bishop said nothing, but his agreement could be felt from his contemptuous snort.
However, while the bishops were busy talking about their colleagues behind their backs, a figure suddenly flew out from the woods below and rushed towards them with a whoosh.
"Wait, that's..."
Suddenly, the priests and bishops in the sky were stunned.
Before they could see clearly what the other person was, the figure quickly approached them. In a hurry, they could only use magic props to open the barrier and protect themselves instinctively.
However, something happened that they never expected.
—The figure did not slow down at all, reality rushed towards the elderly bishop and passed directly through his holy light barrier!
In the opponent's hand, a dagger shone coldly under the moonlight.
"Do you like this surprise?"
Benjamin stopped in front of the bishop, broke away from that moment of nothingness, then raised the dagger in his hand and swung it down hard!
