Several people from the church immediately realized what was going on.
"Even...he even joined forces with those pagans, these sinful guys."
At that moment, several bishops immediately flew down, took out crosses specially designed to restrain thoughts, and used them to protect the soldiers below. This thing was developed to deal with overseas sects at the time, and production had long stopped. Only the bishop still had it on him.
However, the telekinesis has caused chaos among the royal army. These people were originally not strong-willed, but after being deliberately guided, the rebellious emotions in their hearts were suddenly released, and the current situation occurred. Even if the telekinesis is stopped now, it is still impossible for them to return to the charging state just now.
Those who retreated were still retreating, and their actions affected other soldiers who were forcibly recruited. Many people were unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the church in the first place, and were forced to come in because of helplessness. Under such circumstances, how could they have the slightest intention of fighting? Therefore, even if the telekinesis casters within the barrier have withdrawn their mental power, the war-weariness has spread rapidly among the royal army like a plague.
The momentum they had built up based on their numbers was completely shattered in an instant.
The bishops were distraught, but they knew they couldn't stop.
The holy light cannons in the air have already flown halfway and will fall in about ten seconds. All soldiers and priests... need to launch an attack on the rune defense array at that moment. All the bursts will work together to break the barrier. , this battle can be fought.
Therefore, after they solved the problem of telekinesis, they had no time to care about the confusion of the soldiers. They rejoined the team behind Grant and started casting spells with them as planned. At that moment, dazzling light converged on the entire team of priests, merging among everyone. From a distance, it looked like a glowing cloud appeared in the sky.
Grant opened his arms, and dense runes condensed in the void, each one shining with golden holy light, surrounding him.
At this moment, the mages within the barrier also stopped attacking. Under the leadership of Benjamin, they once again entered a defensive posture, condensing more barriers on top of the barrier, trying to protect the rune defense formation from being shattered. Above the town of Crewe, Miles also appeared again, preparing to use his body to block the falling cannonballs.
"snort… "
Grant saw this and let out a cold snort.
With the lessons learned from the past, the Holy Light cannonballs they fired this time were relatively scattered, and their landing points were aimed at different directions in Crewe Town. Therefore, the mercenary could only block two or three of the shells at most, which was a drop in the bucket and could not change anything.
Do you really think they will do it again stupidly
Just like that, when the bright holy light burst out over the town of Crewe, the barrier trembled violently. Miles only blocked three shells, and when the rest came up, the originally smooth surface was distorted. At that moment, in a secret house in Crewe Town, two rune-specialized mages were sweating on their foreheads. They desperately poured spiritual power into the center of the formation, guided the entire formation, absorbed the escaping elements in the air, and tried to move the cannonballs. The power is resolved in a soft way.
Grant, on the other hand, was on his right, facing the flickering barrier.
All the runes he had condensed were shattered in an instant.
Buzz!
A low roar came from nowhere, causing everyone in the town to feel numb. When they came back to their senses, they saw that the rune defense array was like broken glass all over the sky, cracking from the top, flying into pieces, and finally dissipated into nothingness.
"Come for me! Anyone who retreats will be killed!" Grant's voice echoed over the Royal Army.
Following his words, dozens of holy light bombs fell from the sky, each one accurately hitting the fleeing soldiers. As a result, dozens of deserters were wiped out in an instant, while the remaining people were so frightened by this scene that they did not dare to escape again.
The Royal Army was forcibly stabilized and resumed their charge. At this moment, the rune defense array was broken, and there was no obstacle in front of them, so they rushed directly into the town.
They immediately started a street fight with the Black Nightmare Army soldiers.
At the same time, the Priest Brigade, led by Grant, flew into the town of Crewe. Then, a large group of mages stopped in front of them, and together with the Rune Troopers watching eagerly below, the momentum was astonishing. It's just... Grant looked around, but didn't see Benjamin.
"...Where did that devil go?"
Moreover, they did feel something was wrong after they rushed in - the number of soldiers who came out to fight was very small, and almost all of them were Black Nightmares. Where were the Wood family members
Several bishops were a little uneasy, but Grant did not hesitate. Since Benjamin doesn't show up, it's just a good thing. He can take action as much as he wants and kill all the mages under his command. No one can stop him.
But just when he was about to start a killing spree, a figure suddenly rushed out from the darkness!
"… Damn it!"
Grant was shocked and escaped with his extremely fast flying speed. But behind him, a bishop had no time to dodge, and there was a small cut on his neck, and blood slowly seeped out. The bishop fell from the air with a blank look on his face before he even realized what happened.
Miles stopped on a rooftop and stared at Grant coldly.
After a brief pause, he jumped up again, no longer aiming at Grant, but directly aimed at the bishop behind him to attack. Grant had no choice but to crush a pendant, and suddenly a large shield appeared in his hand. He held up his shield and stood in front of the bishop, helping him block the blow.
As a result, Grant was held back by Miles, and no one could do anything. In the constant attack and defense, the positions of both sides gradually deviated from the main force. As for the large forces of priests and mages, they quickly collided with each other after a brief confrontation.
The entire town of Crewe soon fell into melee. People hid in their homes and shivered. No one knew which side would win the war.
Relying on their numerical advantage, the Royal Army gradually gained the upper hand. Thousands of people fighting tens of thousands, even if the tens of thousands of soldiers are disorganized and poorly trained, they are not of the same magnitude at all. The Black Nightmare Army gradually showed signs of fatigue, and could only retreat and fight at the same time, relying on the fortifications they had set up in the town to barely support themselves. The morale of the Royal Army was boosted, and they realized that they might win. Even the soldiers who had originally planned to escape became excited and continued to pursue the victory.
However, it was about this time...
Several loud cries suddenly came from above, resounding through the streets and alleys of Crewe Town.
