(First Update of the Day)
The 157th chapter "please take the bait" (part one)
"Chen … … Your Highness." Probably due to the agitation in his heart, Du Wei's voice has become somewhat hoarse: "You should still have a backup plan, right?"
Smiling, Prince Son's face showed his unreserved trust in Du Wei: "Du Wei, I won't hide it from you. Of course I still have a backup plan. The power of the Shrines in the capital is limited. After all, the capital is the core of the empire. In order to ensure the absolute ruling position of the royal family, the Shrines have to abide by the agreement of no more than 500 people stationed in the capital. Therefore, although the Shrines were moved by my words, they only sent 500 Knight's. These 500 people can consume a portion of my brother's strength, but it's still not enough to turn the tide of the battle. Of course, I still have a backup plan. "
Du Wei couldn't think of anything else. In the capital, other than the Magician's Guild and the Shrines, is there a fourth party?
The opportunity to assassinate Prince Son slipped away in a flash due to Du Wei's hesitation. Two of Prince Son's guards, who are obviously also well-known figures in the inner court, quickly came up to stand beside Prince Son. One of them spoke in a low voice: "Your Highness, look!"
At this time, the situation in the central square has already begun to change. The several hundred Knight's of the Holy Order are being held back by General Jean Claude. After both sides left a trail of corpses, the sound of a classical horn suddenly came from behind the Holy Order. This horn is completely different from the brass horns used by the empire today. The sound of the horn is much heavier and has a hint of antiquity to it … …
The Holy Order is well trained. After suffering heavy losses, they suddenly retreated like the tide. In the midst of the battle between the two sides, their sudden retreat was very methodical. Coupled with the strength of the Holy Order's individuals, Jean Claude's rebel army couldn't keep up with them. In fact, Jean Claude's men were already exhausted. Seeing the sudden retreat of the Holy Order's Knight's Guild, even if General Jean Claude wanted to defend himself, he still didn't have the strength to give chase. At this moment, his entire body was aching, and the spear in his hand was so heavy that he almost couldn't hold it anymore. Covered in blood, it's hard to tell how much of it is the enemy's and how much is his own. As for his men, each and every one of them was injured. The square formation that was originally used to block the entrance of the square was already on the verge of collapse. If the enemy were to charge in two more times … … No, one more and his men would collapse!
After all, the individual strength of the enemy combined with the organization of an army is more than enough to turn these several hundred enemies into a terrifying force.
Moreover … … after all, the enemy is the Holy Order of the Shrines! The influence of the Radiant Shrines on the continent is enormous. Even the soldiers are devout believers. Although those who dared to follow him in the coup are all loyal and capable subordinates, and the battle in the square has already turned into a bloodbath. But now that they have calmed down, many of the soldiers realized that they are going against the Shrines that they originally worshipped as gods. Just this act of betraying their faith is enough to cause the morale of many soldiers to plummet!
Looking at the Knight's Guild's retreat, General Jean Claude suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
Sure enough, after the Holy Order retreated 20 meters, this group of Shrines suddenly split into two groups. Two old men wearing moon white robes slowly emerged from the back of the Knight's Guild. The moon-white robes were unadorned, but they were cut in an extremely fitting manner. Coupled with the almost holy and ostentatious light on the faces of the two old men, as well as the solemn and sacred look in their eyes, it was clear who they were.
Elders of the Radiant Shrines!
Legend has it that the Elders of the Radiant Shrines are all devout old men who have been practicing for their entire lives. Each of them is proficient in a special kind of magic. On the continent, the system of Divine Arts was different from that of Magic. It was a system of its own. Although the magicians have always looked down on this so-called magic. But the Radiant Shrines have always claimed that their magic is a special honor bestowed by the gods to the devout clergy who serve the gods. Although this is somewhat religious (Du Wei thinks so), but there is an undeniable fact: In the past, no one outside of the Shrines has ever been able to learn magic! Even if a magician is proficient in magic, they will never be able to learn magic.
As the name suggests, the so-called magic refers to the magic used by the gods.
However, it is said that the clergy of the Radiant Shrines are only the representatives of the gods in the human world, so they can only learn some low-level magic. But the Pope of each generation may be favored by the gods and master some high-level magic.
Magic and magic are completely different, and most of the magic known on the continent are some light based healing and recovery magic. The waist is some spiritual comfort and light magic. In a direct battle, the effect is naturally not as powerful as most of the offensive magic.
But, among the magic, there are a few that are powerful. The most famous one, Du Wei has heard of, is the so-called "Great Prophecy Magic". Of course, that is a power that only the gods have. But it is said that the Elders of the Shrines are an extremely mysterious existence. Every elder in the Elders of the Radiant Shrines is proficient in only one kind of magic. If you are lucky and meet a member of the Elders of the Radiant Council who is proficient in healing magic, then he will naturally not have much fighting power ….. But, if you meet a member of the Elders of the Radiant Council who is proficient in powerful and terrifying magic, then he will definitely be an opponent that even powerful magicians will absolutely not want to provoke!
Therefore, the Elders of the Radiant Council is an extremely complicated existence, because you simply do not know if you meet a member of the Elders of the Radiant Council who is a harmless angel or a terrifying expert!
But now that Juncker suddenly retreated in the face of the Holy Order, he saw two cold-faced elders wearing the legendary moon-white robes of the Elders of the Radiant Council appear in front of him, their bodies slowly floating over …..
That's right, floating. The feet of these two elders were quite a distance away from the ground. They were suspended in the air, but they floated out like ghosts. This floating theurgy, at least in terms of its calmness and ease, was far more natural than the Flight Spell that many mages cast!
Moreover, Juncker is not a fool. Now that both sides are engaged in a bloody battle, the members of the Elders of the Radiant Council sent by the Shrines are definitely not harmless angels! Then, they must be the kind of elders who are proficient in the Radiant Council.
The two elders slowly floated down from the long street, and on both sides of the street, Paladin shot a look of sincere reverence towards the two elders. Such a look from the eyes of these devout Ascetic God Paladin, confirmed Juncker's guess: the Elders of the Radiant Council!
The two elders were floating in a strange manner, their auras were completely absent, not even the slightest bit of brilliance could be felt from them. These two elders seemed to be extremely dignified, but they didn't seem to emit any powerful aura at all. Instead, they stopped about 10 meters away from General Jean Claude. General Juncker thought of the various legends of the mysterious Elders of the Shrines and could not help but secretly break out in a cold sweat!
In a sense, the deterrence of the Radiant Council for the people of this continent is almost the same as magic. It's just a different kind of magic. There is a commonly accepted saying on the continent: If you want to deal with a Knight, you can send a Knight to deal with a Knight. Of course, it's better to use a Magician. If you want to deal with a Magician, then you can only use a Magician.
In Juncker's view, a Cleric and a Magician are almost the same. If you want to deal with a Magician, then naturally the best choice is to use a Magician to deal with a Magician. Although he is a warrior with good strength, he is not arrogant enough to challenge two powerful Clerics. What's more, under the protection of the powerful Holy Order, these two can easily use magic! To make up for their weakness in close combat, they can use magic without any hindrance.
The Crown Prince naturally also saw that the Holy Order had sent out the Shrines' Elders. But since the Holy Order is already here, and the Shrines dared to send out the Holy Order, then it's not strange for them to send out a group of Elders as well.
Although the Crown Prince's complexion is ugly, but it's still within his expectations. Turning to the armored "Knight" beside him, he whispered: "Sir, I'll leave the Clerics in your care."
That 'knight' let out a low and unpleasant sound, and then laughed: "I also want to see the power of the legendary divine art of the continent. This divine art has always been heard of, but I have never seen it … Hmph, these swindlers only know how to pretend to be mysterious."
With that, the armor suddenly fell off from the horse. The arm, breastplate, and helmet turned into pieces and fell to the ground. Then, a black gas floated out from the armor. As if it has a life of its own, it quickly drifted towards the confrontation between General Juncker and the group of Elders.
Standing on top of the city wall, Prince Son couldn't help but smile as he looked at Du Wei: "Look, my big brother came up with another stupid move! The biggest flaw of his subordinates is that they don't have any outstanding mages. That guy with the black smoke is probably the undead black mage that tried to kill us two nights ago … Hmph, that's the only powerful mage that my big brother has recruited. What a pity, letting him out in this kind of situation is just asking for trouble! "
