Chapter 62 2.20 Decisive Battle (3)
The person who met the eyes of Old Gunk was Jerome who was guarding the churches.
When he saw several tall Viking cavalrymen rushing into the village, he hurriedly drew out the broadsword at his waist and tried his best to control the trembling of his wrist.
(I have copied the Book of Judgment before!)
(How could I forget it at this critical juncture?!)
The Book of Judgment is a book that the Crusaders who practice the "War Path" need to recite. This kind of volume usually comes from the Holy City of Constantinople, the Holy Bishop. Since being exiled to the Lindisfarne Monastery, Jerome has never copied it again.
Think!
Think hard!
He can already see that Old Gunk is looking at the monastery he is responsible for defending with a venomous and cold look. Several cavalrymen around him have already swung their axes and rushed towards him.
Jerome's brain was spinning rapidly. In this life-or-death crisis, he subconsciously said the "Judgment Scripture" written by "Seraphim Seraphim".
"The road of justice has been surrounded by tyrannical evildoers!"
"And the Knights Templar will guide innocent people through the dark canyon in the name of Holy Light!"
"I am the sword and whip in the hands of the Pope!
"My responsibility is to find the lost lambs for the Holy Lord!
"To those who dare to harm and poison my compatriots! I will bring down the fire of awakening the world and burn all the blasphemous pagans and all the demons! At that time, you will call me Seraphim Seraphim-"
"--Holy Wrath!"
After a long string of prayers, the galloping Fog Duck Town cavalry had rushed to Jerome. However, at this moment, the broadsword in his hand "banged" and burned a ball of hot pale flames!
The flame enveloped the broadsword as if it had substance, and quickly spread from the silver sword to the plain white robe he was wearing!
The flame ignited the white linen cannon, and in an instant, Jerome turned into a fireman with pale flames all over his body!
He could feel the rich sacred flames gathering on this seemingly ordinary cloth cannon. The clothes given to him by Loki actually increased his divine power by at least 3 times invisibly!
Subconsciously blocking his body at the door of the church, Jerome waved the broadsword in his hand towards the charging knight. The pure spiritual energy amplified several times by the linen robe turned into a long whip of fire, extending ten meters from the blade of the broadsword!
The pale flame was like a silver holy light that broke through the darkness, and with one knife, the Viking warrior and his horse were split in half!
His momentum of charging on horseback had not stopped, and the horse continued to run for more than ten meters until it hit the wooden wall of the church, then it broke and split into two even pieces!
Jerome, who transformed into the "Light Supervisor" for the first time, did not know how to control the pale flame on his body. At the moment of life and death, he directly poured out all the power amplified by the linen robe. This earth-shattering blow was indeed effective, but after swinging the sword, the sacred fire on the broadsword was as weak as a wisp of ember.
He needed a long time to continue to accumulate divine power, but at this time the other two knights had already arrived on horseback! Jerome hurriedly raised his broadsword to block, but he was already at his limit facing a Viking cavalryman. When the axe chopped in front of him, the sacred energy extending from the linen robe barely covered his broadsword.
After raising his weapon high and using force to unload this round of attacks, he could only watch the spear of another knight pierce his chest.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind him. It was another monk who followed him across the sea. His name was Jim Hank, a "Crusader" of Sequence 9 of the "War Path" who had just awakened.
Sequence 9 is naturally not comparable to Jerome's Sequence 4. The power of Holy Light emanating from his body is very weak, but even so, it still helped him to withstand this fatal injury.
The two of them worked together to remove the first wave of attacks from the knights, and then stood back to back at the door of the church.
The holy light flashed, and the arm that had just been numb due to the vibration immediately recovered. Looking back, it was inside the church, where two companions who had awakened the "Holy Light" path Sequence 9 "Light Chaser" were chanting hymns.
The pure white holy light turned into a gentle light and fell on the two people, which could quickly help them calm their minds and restore their physical strength.
This was just a low-level monk of the "Holy Light Path". It is said that high-level monks can make farmers fight against hundreds of people in a short time by chanting the gospel.
The holy light floated on Jerome's white clothes, and it was able to quickly help him recover his divine power again. The broadsword in his hand burned with pale flames again. Jerome transformed into a flame form again. At this time, no matter how dumb he was, he could see that the linen robe given to him by Loki was an incredible treasure.
He turned around and slashed back, and the broadsword extended a blazing ring of fire, knocking the knight behind him to the ground with his horse. The sacred fire covering the sword could actually change its form according to his consciousness.
When the Chosen Ones upgraded to Sequence 4, their combat capabilities had already opened up a long gap between mortals.
"Light Supervisor" Jerome and "Crusader" Jim Hank stood back to back in front of the church. The sword, axe and shield soldiers who rushed into the village saw him holding a flaming long sword like a god descending from heaven, and no one stepped forward for a short time.
For a moment, no one could do anything to anyone else, and they fell into a stalemate.
**
Loki was also in a stalemate.
Hanshui Fort is the tallest building in Hanshui Village. The main body of the castle has three floors, and if the east and west attics are included, it is 25 meters from the ground.
This is the perfect height for archers to defend the village.
In order to minimize the innocent casualties of the villagers, Loki gathered all the half-grown children aged 12-15 in the village and most of the women of childbearing age in Hanshui Fort.
They relied on the windows, used bows and arrows and threw spears to resist the invaders climbing up the outer wall of the house, which was quite effective.
The troops led by Lao Gongke were mainly composed of the "mountain warriors" of Wuya Town. In the absence of horses and running on foot, carrying a 30-jin heavy axe and armor on their backs was the limit they could bear. The limited number of carriages were also loaded with food, ladders and other supplies.
Only a small number of warriors carried bows and arrows.
For the defenders of Hanshui Village. As long as the defenders stationed on the second floor cut off the siege ladder, the shield axe soldiers could only climb the slippery outer wall of the building if they wanted to enter the castle through the outer perimeter of the building.
This is almost an impossible task in the cold winter.
To kill the archers in the arrow tower on the top floor of Hanshui Castle, they have only one way - to break through the gate of Hanshui Castle.
At this time, the gate of the castle was not closed. The open gate was emitting a rolling blood mist. The mist was rising in the castle, and no human figure could be seen.
Several mountain warriors from Wuya Town bravely walked into the house, but not long after, several miserable howls were heard from the house!
