Chapter 313

The appearance of casualties was expected!

But the way of "death" made even the truly elite 【Sunlight Scripture】 troops moved.

These Paladins who were surrounded by the undead or exhausted did not die at the hands of the undead.

Instead, they all cut the arteries in their necks in a self-mutilating way.

The bright blood turned into blooming blood flowers!

Facing the moment of imminent death, the Paladins of the Holy Kingdom showed a will and spirit far beyond what ordinary people could understand.

Under the tragic situation of the battle at this moment.

Enri stood behind Tang Zheng, covering her mouth in disbelief, staggering back a step, her eyes reddening and filled with confusion.

These Paladins were still laughing and talking with her before, and now actually..., this had an indescribable sense of shock for Enri.

"Captain, why did they do this..." Enri's voice trembled, and even her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

"Enri."

Tang Zheng's expression was serious; while continuing to command the Peace Authority Angel to attack the gray-robed mage, he was briefly silent and spoke softly:

"Because they are Paladins; whether it is faith or pride from the heart, they absolutely do not want to turn into a member of the undead and attack their former companions."

Enri then remembered that in the combat meeting, several adults had mentioned that the living killed by the Death Knight would also be transformed into undead.

"But, but..."

Enri's voice inexplicably carried a trace of crying.

"As long as they don't transform into undead, there is still hope." Tang Zheng's gentle and serious voice came.

"Hope?"

"In the 5th-rank faith-based magic, there is magic that can resurrect the dead, as long as the corpse is preserved intact..."

Tang Zheng hadn't finished speaking.

"Captain, I also have to help!" Hope appeared in Enri's brown pupils, and she had already rolled up her sleeves and ran out.

Seeing Enri's actions.

"Xiao Hei!"

Tang Zheng was startled and spoke immediately.

"Awoo!" The Evil Spirit Dog let out a low roar, its huge black figure leaped out, caught up with Enri in the blink of an eye, opened its mouth, and bit Enri's collar.

"Xiao Hei, put me down!"

Enri swung her arms, and the crying in her voice became even more intense: "Captain, I also want to help."

"I am a member of 【Free Will】 just like Miss Cuiye."

"I am not a child!"

"Roar~"

The Evil Spirit Dog panted, not hearing Tang Zheng's next instruction, threw its head upward, threw Enri into mid-air, and then she landed accurately on its neck.

Boom—

Its four limbs pressed against the ground.

"Roar—"

The Evil Spirit Dog let out a loud roar, seemingly telling Enri to sit tight, and rushed toward the outermost battlefield.

"No..., thank you, Xiao Hei."

Enri then reacted, crying with joy, her hands tightly gripping the Evil Spirit Dog's long, coarse black hair.

A hurried charge.

The Evil Spirit Dog arrived in front of a Paladin's corpse first, knocking a group of low-level undead around it away.

The bone chain swung!

Wrapped the Paladin's corpse with the chain and placed it on its back; Enri hurriedly grabbed it tight to prevent the corpse from falling off.

Not far away.

"Ah, ah!!"

Another member of the Paladin Order, seeing the Evil Spirit Dog and Enri suddenly rush into the battlefield, paused his heavy breathing, then roared and slaughtered toward the undead in front:

"Thanks—Miss Enri!"

On the fierce battlefield.

All parties had enemies to face; it seemed that only Enri, who was an ordinary person, and the Evil Spirit Dog, which wasn't counted as combat power, were suitable to do things that no one else could spare the manpower for in this situation.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The black figures of the Evil Spirit Dog and Enri moved constantly on the battlefield, bringing the corpses of the dead Paladins back to a safe position.

Everywhere they passed.

A group of Paladins looked sideways and were grateful, and the address of "Miss Enri" rang out constantly around the battlefield.

"Things are a bit off."

Tang Zheng saw Enri's active figure and felt a bit helpless: "The result is not bad though."

His arrangement for Enri was originally a profession that mastered the "Commander" system; his initial memory was to have Enri follow Reynas.

But the war between the Empire and the Kingdom started every autumn, and the time was too long, so Tang Zheng simply arranged Enri in the current plan.

The famous "Commander" among humans in the Other World was not explicitly mentioned, but the "Beast General" Hekete Weishi among the demi-humans clearly mentioned possessing the command ability to "resist ten with one."

Tang Zheng saw that Enri was protected by the Evil Spirit Dog and was temporarily not in danger, so he moved his gaze upward, looking at the gray-robed mage who was being besieged by a group of angels in mid-air.

"Damn it, Lightning Strike!"

The gray-robed mage shouted and yelled in mid-air, activating magic.

Blue electric light blasted straight toward the Flame Archangel in front; "Lightning Strike", which possessed piercing effects, caused higher damage to angels than "Fireball".

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three Flame Archangels were pierced in succession, turning into white light spots and dissipating.

"Strike Against Evil"

The Peace Authority Angel swung the magic spear of holy light and smashed it heavily toward the gray-robed mage.

Buzz—buzz—

The pitch-black swarm turned into a shield to block in front of him; under the attack of the magic spear, the swarm was scattered, but it blocked the Peace Authority Angel's attack.

"Eyesore of an angel!"

The gray-robed mage retreated hurriedly, reopened the distance, and continued to release magic attacks, his face already revealing the exhaustion of excessive magic consumption.

Captain Nigen stared fixedly at the sky, constantly commanding the offensive of the 【Sunlight Scripture】,

"This side shouldn't be a problem."

Tang Zheng thought to himself, controlling a Fourth-Rank angel to attack constantly was a rather energy-consuming thing for ordinary people, but for him, it was very easy.

Facing the siege of eighty Flame Archangels and one Fourth-Rank angel, even as a magic caster in the Hero Realm, he was a bit stretched.

In the future, even Gazef almost died under the dense angel offensive of the 【Sunlight Scripture】 troops; although the strength of this high disciple in front of him was stronger, with the replenishment of Fourth-Rank angels, suppressing him was no problem.

"Magic power" is the lifeline of a magic caster.

As time goes by, as long as the gray-robed mage doesn't escape, he will be defeated.

"Remedios's side... eh?"

Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze and looked at another part of the battlefield, at Remedios who was fighting the black-armored knight, and surprise appeared in his eyes:

"How could this be."

Only to see!

The armor on Remedios's shoulder was damaged and was constantly overflowing with blood; it wasn't just this position.

Including other wounds, blood was also constantly overflowing, dyeing her entire silver armor blood-red over a large area!

"Completely at a disadvantage."

Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised.

Not to mention Remedios's personality, her hard strength was still very strong, and even if she fought head-on with the clown sister, she might not necessarily be able to take advantage.

Among all the Paladins of humanity.

Ranked first was the Sixth Seat of the 【Black Scripture】, Remedios was ranked second, and the third was the leader of the adamantite team "Crystal Tears" of the "Dragon Kingdom", Serabure.

Remedios also held a holy sword, and the 【Paladin】 series of professions possessed means of protection and recovery from injuries, with extremely strong endurance.

"Continuous bleeding—?"

"The profession ability of 【Dark Knight】 only weakens the healing effect by half. It shouldn't have the effect of continuous bleeding; that sword in the black-armored knight's hand..."

Tang Zheng squinted his eyes, noticing that holy light flashed on Remedios's body from time to time, but it was always unable to effectively curb the wounds that were constantly overflowing with blood:

"Rotten Sword·Crockdabar."

His 【Cursed Knight】 profession also possessed the continuous bleeding effect that caused wounds to be unable to recover, if it was similar to the ability of that "Rotten Sword".

Then low-level healing magic would probably not be able to heal this kind of injury!

"No wonder she was completely suppressed." Tang Zheng's brows furrowed even deeper.

To heal this kind of injury, at least the Sixth-Rank "Great Healing" had to be used; Tang Zheng hadn't mastered this magic.

Even using the "Magic Ascension Ritual".

The strongest healing magic in his hand was the 3rd-Rank "Severe Injury Healing", and raising it by two ranks only reached the 5th rank, not reaching the 6th rank.

"Ah—!"

Suddenly, a scream resounded through the battlefield.

"Red" Orland coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, flew backward, and a sturdy arm flew into the air and fell to the ground.

"Orland!"

"Orland!"

Go-Jin and "Black" Pavel let out exclamations, immediately erupted with all their strength, and briefly knocked back the Death Knight who was preparing to deliver the finishing blow.

Pfft!

Blood sprayed uncontrollably from the severed arm, and the circle of tender red flesh around the wound was corroded by negative energy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to rot.

Intense pain!

Made "Red" Orland spit out a mixture of saliva and blood, and he stood up from the ground, gritting his teeth and supporting himself.

"It hurts me to death!"

"Red" Orland shouted with heavy breathing, his face bloodless, revealing a sense of weakness, but his eyes were filled with the ferocity of a beast, as if he were a beast before death:

"Don't worry about me! Stop it, otherwise the entire defensive line will collapse!"

The battle with the Death Knight made Go-Jin and the others truly feel the power of this legendary undead.

Facing a monster that didn't know fatigue and couldn't be damaged, even with the minds of Go-Jin and the others, a sense of despair inexplicably rose in their hearts!

"The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable."

Tang Zheng's gaze flickered; Go-Jin and the three of them could no longer suppress the Death Knight.

The number of undead densely packed around, constantly rushing from all directions, showed no signs of exhaustion.

"These two people, are they still waiting?"

Tang Zheng noticed that Kelart's expression was becoming increasingly tense, and Captain Nigen's color was also gloomy and ugly.

The two were not fools, and should have understood the danger of the situation; it seemed they were both waiting for the other party to make a move first!

Since they dared to march into the Abelion Hills!

Both sides must have the confidence to defeat the Death Knight, and this "confidence" was the trump card given by the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy.

"This might also be the reason why the leader has not appeared."

"Guarding against being directly targeted by both sides." Tang Zheng was interested in the trump cards of both sides, and the leader must be equally interested.

Without any information at all, rashly showing one's head was an unwise choice.

"It shouldn't be long now."

Tang Zheng looked toward the Death Knight's side.

"Red" Orland was injured, and Go-Jin and the three of them could no longer suppress it at all.

The location of the Priest Corps!

Kelart couldn't help but clench her hands into fists, seeing the tired breathing of the group of priests behind her, her gaze swept toward her sister's direction, and then looked at the Death Knight.

"Damn it!"

"Is the Slane Theocracy still waiting?"

Kelart was restless; with her wisdom, she could naturally understand that she was currently playing a mental game with Captain Nigen.

But—

She couldn't afford to wait; the Holy Kingdom had the largest number of people, the casualties of the Paladin Order were gradually increasing, and the situation on her sister's side was also unfavorable.

If they waited any longer...

Kelart's slender, fair fingers reached toward the magic pouch on her waist; this was an opportunity to completely wipe out the demi-humans, and if it were used, there might not be another chance later.

"Heh, heh, I didn't expect that I would actually have a day where I would be conflicted about such a thing."

"Holy Queen Calca Your Majesty..."

Kelart let out a breath, a trace of powerlessness flashed in her narrow, sinister eyes, and her palm firmly grasped the magic pouch.

Just at the moment when she was about to take it out!

Thump thump—

Thump thump—

The ground shook, and strong shouts of killing came from the south.

"Beast General" Hekete Weishi led a group of demi-humans, rushing over at an extremely fast speed; the dust followed the demi-humans' charge like a giant wave, knocking away and crushing the undead blocking the front.

The sudden arrival of the demi-humans.

Was like a strong stimulant, making the depressed and disadvantaged human troops cheer up again.

"These bastards!!"

Kelart's palm, which was on the magic pouch, loosened, and looking at the large number of demi-humans rushing from a distance, an angry look appeared on her face, and she gritted her teeth:

"With so many undead, it's impossible for these demi-humans not to notice, yet they only arrived now!"

"Obviously they wanted our human elites to suffer damage."

Coldness and sharp light flashed in Kelart's narrow eyes; she didn't believe that these demi-humans couldn't notice the movement of so many undead.

If they couldn't even do this, the various demi-human tribes would have been wiped out long ago!

In mid-air.

The first to notice the movement of the demi-humans was the gray-robed mage.

"These demi-humans came at just the right time!"

The gray-robed mage's aura was clearly a bit weak, and at this moment, seeing the arrival of the demi-humans, he realized that their mission this time had failed:

"4th Rank Magic·'Swarm Rampage'!"

A large number of flying insects, dense like clouds, quickly entangled the Peace Authority Angel closest to him from the gray-robed mage's sleeves.

The gray-robed mage retreated quickly, flying down from the air,

"Rotten Sword! Time to go."

The gray-robed mage shouted loudly at the black-armored knight who was fighting excitedly below, his figure flew over the heads of Remedios and the other, and came in front of the Death Knight,

"Fireball!"

A fireball flew out, blasted in front of Go-Jin and the other, causing an explosion, forming a shockwave, and forcing the three of them back.

On the other side.

"Let's stop here for now."

The black-armored knight put away the longsword in his hand, sneered at Remedios, and his gaze swept over the holy sword with fire:

"Next time, you won't be so lucky."

"Don't think about escaping!"

Remedios shouted, wanting to pursue, but due to excessive blood loss, her movements became a bit stiff.

Bang!

The black-armored knight moved his feet, quickly left the spot, and rushed toward the position where the Death Knight was.

"Mission failed, it's inevitable that I will be punished by the leader."

The gray-robed mage spoke with a headache, placed one hand on the Death Knight, and one hand on the black-armored knight, and chanted in a low voice:

"'Teleportation'!"

With the distortion of space.

The three figures of the Death Knight disappeared into thin air.
