In the Elven Forest, on the main road that the players had opened up to connect the main city and the core area.
Suddenly, the forest on one side shone and the trees and shrubs moved to the side, revealing a new road.
The sound of uniform footsteps could be heard along with the faint sound of holy hymns. Paladins in silver armour appeared on the road and entered the main road of the Elven Forest.
This was the army of the Church of Eternity.
After passing through a large part of the forest, they finally left the road that Eve had opened up and entered the real road network of the Elven Forest.
Today, the main areas of activity in the Elven Forest had been carefully built by new and old players to form a transportation system that extended in all directions.
The entire system used the main cities and Elven cities as nodes and the City of Heaven's Chosen as the core. It covered the entire core area of the Elven Forest as well as the central and southern parts of the Elven Forest.
At the same time, the transportation system also connected all the guild strongholds and Elven villages.
However, the army of the Church of Eternity didn't seem to be interested in the strongholds along the way.
Apart from the strongholds that happened to be on their way, they didn't care about the other strongholds.
They seemed to have given up on recuperating and giving up on their rear. They only had one goal and that was the core area of the Elven Forest, the World Tree.
On the ground, the army of Paladins and Priests moved in an orderly manner towards the depths of the Elven Forest.
In the sky, the Holy Angels and the Paladins on the ground moved in unison.
Large sun emblems were held up high by the Priests. They shone brightly under the sun and the platinum light enveloped the entire army. It was as if the Church of Eternity's army was moving with them.
On both sides of the road, in the lush forest.
Player First Leading Filial Son led his guild members to lie in ambush in the forest. His gaze was cautious as he watched the advancing Eternal army.
Filial First was the Deputy Guild Leader of the Azeroth Guild Alliance. He was also the Deputy Guild Leader of the Azeroth Guild.
As the guild closest to the Church of Eternity in the Great Holy War, they were also the fastest to gather.
However, at this moment, seeing the Paladins advancing on the main road and the Holy Angels in the sky, Filial First's expression became more and more serious.
At this moment, a panting player came up from behind him. There was still a trace of fear in his expression.
It was none other than Black Friday, the Guild Leader of the Paladins of the Azeroth Guild Alliance.
Seeing who it was, the filial son's eyes lit up.
"Friday, did you see it clearly? How many people did the Eternal Church send? "
"Many … Many, many … I can't see the end of it. Based on past experience, there are probably millions of them, and their average strength is extremely powerful …"
"I was flying high up in the sky just now and didn't even get close. I was just hiding in the clouds and using binoculars, but I was still discovered by those angels. One divine spell almost sent me back to the respawn point."
Upon hearing Black Friday's words, Filial Son Number One's expression became even more serious.
His gaze turned towards the advancing army of the Church of Eternity.
"These lunatics. Aren't they afraid that they'll drag down their own logistics with so many people?"
"Brother Filial Son, I'm afraid it's impossible to rely on logistics to drag them down. I've observed for a while, and the way they resupply seems to be different from the conventional noble alliance. I'm afraid they're using some kind of summoning magic. Many of the resources are summoned by the priests on the spot."
Black Friday said in a deep voice.
The first filial son's eyes widened in shock.
He thought for a moment, then asked again,
"Have you contacted the Church? If I remember correctly, the gods seem to be able to seal space. Please ask Alice or Big Sister to pray to the Goddess and seal these guys' space summoning! "
Black Friday's expression became even more serious.
"Brother Filial Son, Nature's Heart has already asked. The Church replied that the Goddess has already sealed space. The photons in the forest are the signs of the seal."
"It's already sealed? But if it's already sealed, how can they still use space summoning? "
Filial Son Number One was stunned.
Black Friday's gaze paused on the sun emblem held high by the priests of the Church of Eternity.
"I'm afraid it's those sun emblems …"
"Previously, when the closed beta players participated in the Orc war mission, they relied on the statue of the Goddess to remove the space barrier of the Orc gods and maintain the operation of the teleportation circle."
"I think these sun emblems of the Church of Eternity might have a similar effect."
Filial Son Number One nodded slightly after hearing Black Friday's words.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "We can't wait any longer.
"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, our ambush might be discovered. Before they notice, let's try a wave of attacks. Someone has to find out the details. At worst, we'll revive and return to the city."
"By the way, be careful. When you see the Eternal Pope, start the attack. There's a screenshot of him on the official website. Don't mistake him for someone else. Also, don't let those high-ranking bishops around the Eternal Pope go."
Filial Son Number One said to Black Friday.
However, Black Friday was a little unconfident.
"Brother Filial Son, we have to be able to defeat them first …"
Filial Son Number One rolled his eyes at him.
"We'll do our best and leave the rest to fate. After all, reviving is free."
"Okay, you're right."
Black Friday nodded.
Then, Filial Son Number One's expression turned serious.
He contacted the chat channel of his guild.
"All participating players, attention!"
"Prepare for battle!"
…
In the team of the Church of Eternity.
Benedict II was riding on a white horse, surrounded by the knights of justice and the bishops of the Church.
His gaze swept across the forest on both sides of the road, and a hint of mockery flashed in the depths of his eyes.
In the next second, the leaves in the forest rustled. Accompanied by an ear-piercing whistle, countless arrows and all kinds of offensive spells, flashing with the brilliance of skills, poured down like raindrops, smashing toward the army of the Eternal Church.
However, looking at the sudden attack from both sides, neither the Holy Angels in the sky nor the Judges on the ground seemed to be bothered by it.
The bishops in the army narrowed their eyes.
They looked at the priests and shouted, "Let's go.
"Holy Shield!"
Then, a bright light bloomed on the sun emblem held high by the priests, and translucent shields appeared around the army.
Under the astonished gazes of the ambushing players, the rain of arrows and spells that poured down after hitting the translucent shields could no longer move forward.
"Good heavens … A movement-enhanced version of the Divine Shield?"
A player couldn't help but complain.
Filial Son Number One's expression changed slightly.
His gaze changed, and finally, he snorted coldly and ordered.
"So what if it's a shield? At such a close distance, there's bound to be a gap. Everyone, take the initiative to attack. Target … the dozens of fellas in the center of the army in their robes! "
Following Filial Son Number One's order, the players of the Azeroth Guild Alliance lying in ambush on both sides of the road instantly moved.
They roared angrily, drew their weapons, and jumped out of the forest.
However, the moment the players at the front jumped out of the forest, Benedict II glanced at the trees on both sides, and then his gaze swept across the bishops around him.
The bishops understood and looked at the priests, and shouted.
"Judgement!"
In the next moment, a dazzling light gathered on the sun emblem again, and this time, a platinum flame shot out from the center of the sun emblem, and the target was the forest on both sides.
"Not good! Dodge! "
Feeling the platinum flame coming toward him, Filial Son Number One's expression changed slightly.
However, the flame was even faster.
In an instant, the platinum flame turned the forest on both sides into a sea of fire, and the ambushing players on both sides were also turned into a sea of fire.
Screams, screams, and laughter mixed together. One by one, people on fire struggled to run out of the forest. Some ran in all directions, while others roared and charged towards the army of the Eternal Church.
The Judgement Paladins looked coldly at these burning players. They raised the bows in their hands and shot out arrows like raindrops.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The players who tried to charge into the Eternal army with their lives were shot full of holes by the arrows of the Judgmental Paladins. They vanished into thin air in a flash of light.
With the protection of the Life Divine Spell, the Holy Fire that spread through the forest didn't burn for too long before slowly extinguishing.
However, the ambushing players had already been turned into ashes in the flames.
The tens of thousands of ambushing players that the Azeroth Guild Alliance had gathered quickly, and in an instant, they were all wiped out.
On the other hand, the Eternal Church was unharmed.
In this short battle, only some of the Judgement Paladins and the priests who held the sun emblem up high acted.
The Eternal Bishops and the Angel army didn't participate in the entire battle.
This unprecedented disparity shocked the players who were lucky enough to escape. They looked at the Eternal Army from the depths of the forest and were shocked.
They had always been suppressing their enemies, and now they had finally met an unprecedented opponent.
However, unlike the shocked players, the Eternal Church's army was still calm and collected.
After destroying the ambushing players, they acted as if nothing had happened and continued to move at the same speed. They lined up neatly in formation and moved deeper into the Elven Forest.
The iron-like discipline and expressionless faces sent chills down the spines of the escaping players …
…
"The ambush of the Azeroth Guild Alliance failed and they were all wiped out. The Eternal Church has a very strong defensive barrier and can even counterattack …"
In the depths of the Elven Forest, the commander of the second wave of players said in a low voice.
This was an ambush with Nature's Heart's troops as the main force and other small and medium-sized guilds as reinforcements.
Because they had gathered for a longer time and were closer to the core of the Elven Forest, their overall strength was stronger than that of the Azeroth Guild Alliance.
Among the players, there were even Magic Crystal Cannons sponsored by the Amway Chamber of Commerce and the Cute Committee.
"Let's not talk about the enemy's overall strength for now. We have to find a way to destroy their defensive barrier first."
"This defensive barrier has never appeared before. Whether it was during the War of Gods and Devils or the Great Holy War, this is probably the Eternal Church's true trump card …"
"So, no matter what, we have to find a way to destroy this golden barrier!"
"Prepare the Magic Crystal Cannons and God's Punishment Bombs! That's right! Use the ones we got during the revolution! "
"I don't believe that carpet bombing and God's Punishment Bombs can't blow a hole in this invisible barrier!"
The commander snorted coldly.
The second wave of players was obviously more experienced than the Azeroth Guild Alliance.
Under the command of this veteran player from Nature's Heart, they quickly came up with a new plan based on the experience of the first wave of ambushes that the Azeroth Guild had just shared on the official website.
When the Eternal Church's army entered their ambush range, the second wave of ambushes began.
The first wave was the Magic Crystal Cannons.
The Magic Crystal Cannons on the distant hills spat out fire and elemental bullets fell into the Eternal Church's army.
"Holy Shield!"
The Bishop of the Eternal Church's expression turned serious as he continued to shout.
A bright light descended and a platinum shield rose. Under the solemn gazes of the players, the Eternal Church's army was unscathed after the barrage.
The next moment, the players' suicide squad rushed out of the forest with the statue of the Eternal Lord in their arms, yelling and howling.
However, before they could get close to the Eternal Church's army, the statues that they had hidden in their arms suddenly burst into flames and exploded into a sea of fire.
Arrows shot out from the Eternal Church's army and fell into the forest on both sides. Along with the arrows, Holy Fire shot out from the Sun Emblem.
The Holy Angels in the sky also drew their bows and shot arrows, aiming directly at the Magic Crystal Cannons on the hillside. Under the panicked gazes of the cannoneers, the arrows of light instantly flattened the hillside.
It didn't take long for the second wave of ambushes to follow in the footsteps of the first wave of ambushes. They were completely annihilated in a sea of fire and a rain of arrows.
The Eternal Church's army was still unscathed …
If the results of the first ambush only shocked and surprised the players, then when the results of the second ambush spread, almost all the players fell into silence.
At this moment, they finally realized that they were about to face an opponent that was completely different from the previous armies.
This was an enemy they had never faced before.
"Ambushes are useless. They will only add to the casualties. Even with the support of the Megalosaurus from Dragon Island, it won't be enough. You know … those Angels and Demigods haven't made their move yet."
After watching the video uploaded by the ambushing players on the official website, Li Mu said in a low voice.
"Brother Mu, how should we fight?"
The other players beside him asked.
"The City of Heaven's Chosen …"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said,
"If we want to fight, I'm afraid we'll have to rely on the City of Heaven's Chosen.
"Just like how only magic can defeat magic, if we want to fight against the defensive barrier, we'll have to use the defensive barrier.
"The enemy's target is the Goddess' body. Then … the final battle must be under the City of Heaven's Chosen.
"Why don't we gather our strength and fight here? It'll be easier to run to the resurrection point."
