Casualties were expected!
But the manner of "death" moved even the truly elite Sunlight Scripture troops.
These Paladins, who fell into Undead encirclements or succumbed to exhaustion, did not die at the hands of the Undead.
Instead, they all chose to end their own lives, severing the arteries in their necks.
Vivid blood transformed into blossoming blood flowers!
Faced with the moment of impending death, the Paladins of the Holy Kingdom displayed a will and spirit far beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.
Amidst the tragic battlefield scene.
Anri stood behind Tang Zheng, covering her mouth in disbelief, staggering backward, her eyes red and filled with confusion.
These Paladins had been chatting and laughing with her just moments ago, and now they were actually... This gave Anri an indescribable sense of shock.
"Captain, why are they doing this..." Anri's voice trembled, and even her hands shook uncontrollably.
"Anri."
Tang Zheng's expression was grave. While continuing to command the Peace Authority Angel to attack the Gray Robe Magic Caster, he paused briefly and said softly, "Because they are Paladins. Whether it's their faith or their inner pride, they absolutely refuse to transform into members of the Undead and attack their former comrades."
Anri then remembered that during the war meeting, several adults had mentioned that those killed by Death Knights would also transform into Undead.
"But, but..."
Anri's voice carried a hint of a sob.
"As long as they don't transform into Undead, there's still hope," Tang Zheng's gentle and earnest voice came.
"Hope?"
"The 5th Tier faith-based Magic includes Magic that can Raise Dead, as long as the bodies are still intact..."
Before Tang Zheng could finish speaking.
"Captain, I want to help too!" Hope shone in Anri's brown eyes, and she had already rolled up her sleeves and ran out.
Seeing Anri's actions.
"Xiao Hei!"
Tang Zheng was taken aback and immediately called out.
"Woof!" The Evil Spirit Dog growled, its massive Black figure leaping out, instantly catching up with Anri, opening its mouth and grabbing the back of Anri's collar.
"Xiao Hei, let me down!"
Anri waved her arms, the sob in her voice growing stronger, "Captain, I want to help too."
"Like Miss Cuiye, I am also a member of the Free Will."
"I'm not a child!"
"Woof~"
The Evil Spirit Dog panted, not hearing Tang Zheng's next instruction. It tossed its head upward, throwing Anri into the air, then accurately landing her on its neck.
Thump—
Its limbs pressed against the ground.
"Woof—"
The Evil Spirit Dog roared, as if telling Anri to hold on tight, and charged towards the outermost battlefield.
"No..., thank you, Xiao Hei."
Anri finally realized what was happening, bursting into tears of joy, her hands tightly gripping the Evil Spirit Dog's thick, Black fur.
A rapid charge.
The Evil Spirit Dog was the first to arrive in front of a Paladin's corpse, knocking away a group of low-level Undead around it.
Bone Chain swung!
It used the Chain to wrap up the Paladin's corpse, placed it on its back, and Anri quickly grabbed hold to prevent the body from falling off.
Not far away.
"Ah, ah!!"
Another member of the Paladin Order, seeing the Evil Spirit Dog and Anri suddenly rushing into the battlefield, paused in his heavy breathing, then roared and charged towards the Undead in front of him:
"Thanks—Miss Anri!"
On the fiercely contested battlefield.
Each unit had enemies to face, and it seemed that only Anri, an ordinary person, and the Evil Spirit Dog, which was not considered a combat force at all, 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 Anri constantly moved across the battlefield, bringing the corpses of the fallen Paladins back to safety.
Wherever they passed.
A chorus of Paladins turned their heads, filled with gratitude, as calls of "Miss Anri" echoed across the battlefield.
"Things have deviated a bit."
Tang Zheng watched Anri's active figure, somewhat helplessly, "But the result isn't bad."
His arrangement for Anri was originally for her to master the 'Commander' system of professions, initially intending for her to follow Renners.
However, the Empire's war with the Kingdom started every autumn, which was too far off, so Tang Zheng simply arranged for Anri to participate in the current plan.
Among the humans of this Different World, the famous "Commander" wasn't specifically mentioned, but the Demi-human 'Beast General' Hector Weiss was clearly stated to possess command abilities that allowed him to "fight ten single-handedly."
Seeing that Anri was protected by the Evil Spirit Dog and was temporarily out of danger, Tang Zheng shifted his gaze upwards, looking at the Gray Robe Magic Caster who was being besieged by a group of Angels in mid-air.
"Damn it, Lightning Strike!"
The Gray Robe Magic Caster roared in mid-air, casting Magic.
Blue lightning struck straight towards the Flame Archangels in front, the 'Lightning Strike' with its penetrating effect dealt more damage to Angels than 'Fireball'.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Three Flame Archangels in a row were pierced through, turning into White light spots and dissipating.
"Strike Against Evil!"
The Peace Authority Angel swung its Magic spear of Holy Light, heavily smashing it towards the Gray Robe Magic Caster.
Buzz—Buzz—
A swarm of Darkness insects formed a shield in front of him. Under the attack of the Magic spear, the Swarm was scattered, but it blocked the Peace Authority Angel's attack.
"Annoying Angels!"
The Gray Robe Magic Caster quickly retreated, re-establishing distance, and continued to release Magic Attacks, his face already showing fatigue from excessive Mana consumption.
Captain Nigun stared intently at the sky, constantly directing the Sunlight Scripture's offensive.
"This side shouldn't be a problem."
Tang Zheng thought to himself. Manipulating a Fourth Tier Angel to continuously launch attacks was quite exhausting for ordinary people, but it was very easy for him.
Faced with the siege of eighty Flame Archangels and one Fourth Tier Angel, even a Magic Caster in the Hero Domain was somewhat dwarfed.
In the future, even Gazef almost died under the Sunlight Scripture troop's dense Angel offensive. Although the disciple in front of him was stronger, with the supplement of the Fourth Tier Angel, suppressing him was still not a problem.
"Mana" was the lifeline of a Magic Caster.
As time went on, as long as the Gray Robe Magic Caster didn't escape, he would inevitably be defeated.
"Remedios' side... Hmm?"
Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze and looked towards the other side of the battlefield, at Remedios who was fighting the Black armored Knight, a look of surprise on his face:
"How could this be?"
He saw!
The armor on Remedios' shoulder was damaged, and blood was constantly flowing out. Not only at this location,
But also from other wounds, blood was constantly flowing out, dyeing a large area of her entire silver armor Blood Red!
"Completely at a disadvantage."
Tang Zheng frowned, clearly surprised.
Putting aside Remedios' personality, her hard strength was still very strong. Even Clown Girl might not be able to gain an advantage in a head-on collision.
Among all the Paladins of humanity,
The first place was the sixth seat of the Darkness Scripture, Remedios was ranked second, and the third was Serabre, the leader of the Fine Steel team "Crystal Tears" of the Dragon Kingdom.
Remedios also held a Holy Sword, and the Paladin series of professions had means of blessing and recovering from injuries, making her extremely durable.
"Continuous bleeding—?"
"The Dark Knight's professional ability only weakens the Healing Magic effect by half. It shouldn't have a continuous bleeding effect. The sword in the Black armored Knight's hand..."
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, noticing the Holy Light that occasionally flashed on Remedios' body, but it was still unable to effectively stop the constantly overflowing blood from the wound:
"Rot Sword - Crocodabar."
His Cursed Knight profession also had a continuous bleeding effect that prevented injuries from recovering. If it was similar to the ability of that "Rot Sword".
Then low-level Healing Magic probably couldn't heal this kind of damage!
"No wonder she's completely suppressed." Tang Zheng frowned even deeper.
To heal this kind of injury, at least Sixth Tier 'Greater Healing' had to be used, a Magic that Tang Zheng hadn't mastered.
Even using the "Magic Rise Ritual".
The strongest Healing Magic in his hand was the Third Tier 'Serious Injury Healing', raising it by two tiers would only reach the Fifth Tier, not the Sixth Tier.
"Ah—!"
Suddenly, a scream echoed across the battlefield.
"Red" Orland coughed up large mouthfuls of blood as he flew backward, a thick arm flying into the air and falling to the ground.
"Orland!"
"Orland!"
Go Gin and "Black" Pabel cried out in alarm, immediately unleashing their full power to briefly repel the Death Knight, who was preparing to deliver a finishing blow.
Pfft!
Blood sprayed uncontrollably from the severed arm, the tender flesh around the wound visibly corroding from the negative energy, beginning to rot.
Intense pain!
Caused "Red" Orland to spew a mixture of saliva and blood from his mouth, grimacing as he struggled to his feet.
"That fucking hurt!"
"Red" Orland gasped, his face bloodless and weak, but his eyes were filled with a ferocious look, like a beast before its death:
"Don't worry about me! Stop it, or the entire defense line will collapse!"
The clash with the Death Knight made Go Gin and the others truly feel the power of this legendary Undead.
Facing a monster that felt no fatigue and could not be harmed, even Go Gin and the others felt a sense of despair rising in their hearts!
"The situation is getting worse and worse."
Tang Zheng's eyes flickered. Go Gin and the other three could no longer suppress the Death Knight, and Remedios was also at a disadvantage.
The dense, endless stream of Undead pouring in from all directions showed no signs of weakening.
"Are these two still waiting?"
Tang Zheng noticed that Quartet's expression was becoming increasingly tense, and Captain Nigun's face was equally gloomy.
Neither of them were fools, and they should have realized the danger of the situation. They both seemed to be waiting for the other to make the first move!
Since they dared to advance 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 may also be the reason why the Alliance Leader has not shown himself."
"To guard against being directly targeted by both sides." Tang Zheng was interested in the trump cards of both sides, and the Alliance Leader was probably just as interested.
Without any information, rashly showing one's face would be unwise.
"It shouldn't be long now."
Tang Zheng looked towards the Death Knight.
"Red" Orland was injured, and Go Gin and the others could no longer suppress it at all.
At the location of the Shrine Priest Order!
Quartet clenched her hands involuntarily into fists, seeing the exhausted breathing of the Shrine Priests behind her, her eyes looking towards her sister's direction, and then towards the Death Knight.
"Damn it!"
"Is the Slane Theocracy still waiting?"
Quartet was restless. With her wisdom, she could naturally understand that she was currently engaged in a mental game with Captain Nigun.
But—
She couldn't afford to wait. The Holy Kingdom had the largest number of troops, the Paladin Order was suffering increasing casualties, and her sister's situation was also unfavorable.
If they waited any longer...
Quartet's slender, fair fingers reached for the Magic Belt at her waist. This was an opportunity to completely wipe out the Demi-humans, but if she used it, there might be no chance afterward.
"Heh, heh, I never thought I would be so conflicted about something like this."
"Holy Queen Calca, Your Majesty..."
Quartet exhaled, a helpless look flashing across her narrow, sinister eyes, and her hand completely grasped the Magic Leather Bag.
Just as she was about to take it out!
Thump, thump—
Thump, thump—
The earth shook, and loud battle cries came from the south.
"Beast General" Hector Weiss led a group of Demi-humans, rushing in at an extremely fast speed. The dust raised by the Demi-humans' charge crashed down like a giant wave, smashing and crushing the Undead blocking their path.
The sudden arrival of the Demi-humans.
Was like a shot in the arm, reinvigorating the depressed and disadvantaged human forces.
"These bastards!!"
Quartet's hand on the Magic Belt loosened, and she looked at the large number of Demi-humans rushing in from afar, her face showing anger, gritting her teeth:
"With so many Undead causing such a commotion, there's no way these Demi-humans couldn't have noticed, yet they only arrived now!"
"Clearly, they want to damage the elite of us humans."
Quartet's narrow eyes flashed with coldness and a sharp glint. She didn't believe that these Demi-humans hadn't noticed the movements of the many Undead.
If they couldn't even do this, the Demi-human races would have been wiped out long ago!
In mid-air.
It was the Gray Robe Magic Caster who first noticed the Demi-human's movements.
"These Demi-humans have come at just the right time!"
The Gray Robe Magic Caster's aura was obviously a little weak. Seeing the arrival of the Demi-humans at this moment, he realized that their mission had failed:
"Fourth Tier Magic · Swarm Rampage!"
A large number of flying insects, as dense as clouds, rapidly swarmed out from the Gray Robe Magic Caster's sleeves, entangling the Peace Authority Angel closest to him.
The Gray Robe Magic Caster quickly retreated and flew down from the air.
"Rot Sword! It's time to go."
The Gray Robe Magic Caster shouted at the Black armored Knight, who was fighting excitedly below. His figure flew over Remedios and the other's heads, arriving in front of the Death Knight.
"Fireball!"
A Fireball flew out, bombarding the front of Go Gin and the others, creating a Shockwave that forced the three back.
On the other side.
"Let's end it here for now."
The Black armored Knight put away the long sword in his hand, sneering at Remedios, his eyes scanning the Holy Sword with fiery desire:
"Next time, you won't be so lucky."
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Remedios shouted, wanting to pursue, but excessive blood loss made her movements somewhat stiff.
Bang!
The Black armored Knight moved his feet and quickly left the spot, rushing towards the location of the Death Knight.
"If the mission fails, the Alliance Leader will inevitably punish us."
The Gray Robe Magic Caster opened his mouth with a headache, one hand pressed on the Death Knight, and the other hand pressed on the Black armored Knight, chanting in a low voice:
"Teleport!"
As space twisted.
The three figures of the Death Knight disappeared into thin air.
