Chapter 178 Chapter 157 Please take the bait (Part 1)

"Chen...Your Highness." Du Wei's voice was already dry and hoarse probably because of the turmoil in his heart: "Do you have any backup?" Prince Chen smiled, the expression on his face seemed to have unreserved trust in Du Wei, with a gentle smile on his face: "Du Wei, I will not hide it from you, of course I still have a backup. The power of the temple is in the capital of the emperor." Limited, after all, the emperor is the center of the empire. In order to ensure the absolute dominance of the imperial family in the imperial capital, the temple must abide by the agreement that no more than 500 holy knights will be stationed in the imperial capital for thousands of years. Therefore, although the temple was ordered by us this time It’s moving, but they only sent 500 knights. These 500 people can consume part of my brother’s strength, but it’s still not enough to turn the tide of the battle. Of course, I still have backup.”

Du Wei couldn't figure it out.In the imperial capital, apart from the magic guild and the temple, is there a fourth party force? With Du Wei's hesitation, the chance of assassination has slipped away.Two of Prince Chen's bodyguards, who were obviously the best in the imperial palace, quickly stuck up and stood beside Prince Chen, and one of them said in a low voice: "Your Highness, look!" At this time, the battle situation at a distance from the central square has begun to change. The hundreds of knights of the Holy Knights were resisted by General Junker. A horn full of classical colors, the horn is completely different from the brass horns used by the empire now, the sound from the horn is thicker, with a hint of simplicity...

The Holy Knights were well-trained, and after suffering serious losses, they suddenly retreated like a tide. During the fight between the two sides, they suddenly retreated. The combat power made it impossible for Junker's rebel city guards to entangle. In fact, Junker's people were exhausted. Seeing that the knights of the Holy Knights suddenly receded, even if General Junker defended bravely, he was unable to order the pursuit. , but at this moment, his limbs were sore and limp, the spear in his hand was almost too heavy to control, and he didn't know how much of the blood was the enemy's and how much was his own.As for the subordinates around him, everyone was wounded, and the phalanx that was originally piled up by people to block the entrance of the square was already on the verge of collapse. If the opponent came to charge two more... No, I'm afraid there will be another one, and my own people will collapse up!

After all, the strength of individual combat power coupled with the almost military dispatch organization is enough to condense these hundreds of enemies into a terrifying force. And... After all, the opponent is the holy knights of the temple!How powerful is the influence of the Temple of Light on the mainland? Even many soldiers and soldiers are devout believers. Although those who dared to follow his coup were all capable and loyal subordinates, and the fight in the square has become red-eyed, but calm down now , Many soldiers thought that they were against the temple that was revering gods in their hearts. This act of betraying their faith alone could make many soldiers lose their morale!

Seeing the knights retreating leisurely, General Junker suddenly felt a little uneasy. Sure enough, after the holy knights retreated 20 meters, the temple guards with amazing combat power suddenly separated into two teams on the long street, and two old men in moon-white robes slowly emerged from behind the knights come out.There were no people or decorations on the moon-white robes, but the extremely decent tailoring, coupled with the almost holy glitz on the faces of the two old men, and the awe-inspiring look in their eyes, already showed their identities. Member of the elders of the Temple of Light!

According to legend, each member of the elders of the Temple of Light is a devout old man who has practiced penance all his life, and each of them is good at a special magic.This system of divine art is distinguished from magic on the mainland, and it is implicitly self-contained.Although magicians have always looked down on this so-called magic.But the Temple of Light has always claimed that its magic is a special honor given by the gods to these devout priests who serve the gods.Although there is some religious advocacy in saying this (Du Wei thinks so), there is an undeniable fact: in the eyes of the past, there is really no one outside the temple who can learn magic!No matter how proficient a magician is in magic, he still can't learn magic.

As the name suggests, the so-called divine spell refers to the spell used by the gods. However, it is said that the priests of the Temple of Light are only the spokespersons of the gods in the world after all, so they can only learn some low-level magic arts, and each generation of popes may be able to get the favor of the gods and master some advanced methods. Divine spells are completely different from magic, and most of the known divine spells in the mainland are healing and recovery spells of the light system, and the waist is some auxiliary modes such as spiritual comfort and light spells.In a direct battle, the effect is naturally not as powerful as most attack magic.

However, among the divine arts, there are also some rare ones with powerful power.The most famous, and Du Wei has also heard of it, is the so-called "big prophecy".Of course, that is the power possessed only by the gods.However, it is said that the group of elders is an extremely mysterious existence in the temple, and each elder in the group of elders is only good at one divine technique.If you are lucky, and the member of the elders you meet is good at healing magic, then he naturally doesn't have much combat power... But if the members of the elders you meet happen to be one of the few, He is good at powerful and destructive magic arts, so he is definitely a target that even powerful magicians are absolutely unwilling to provoke!

Therefore, the group of elders is an extremely complicated existence, because you have no idea whether the elder member you meet is a harmless angel or a terrifying strong man! But now facing the sudden retreat of the Holy Knights, Junker saw two cold-faced old men wearing the white robes of the legendary elder Tuanyue appear in front of him, and their bodies floated over slowly... That's right, it's floating.These two elders, with their feet a little distance from the ground, were so short and suspended in the air, but they floated out like ghosts.This kind of floating magic, at least in terms of the calmness and freedom of movement, is far more natural than many magicians performing flying magic!

And, Juncker is no fool.At the moment of the bloody battle between the two sides, the members of the elders sent by the temple must not be harmless angels!Then, it must be the kind of elder who is good at powerful magic arts. Two old men floated slowly from the long street, and the holy knights on both sides shot a look of reverence from the bottom of their hearts at the two. , which further affirmed General Junker's guess: the elders! The two elders just floated in such a strange way, with no aura in their bodies, and no brilliance exposed at all. These two elders who seemed to be extremely majestic, but they didn't seem to have any powerful aura. They just stopped at General Junker's body. About ten meters away.General Junker thought of all the legends about the mysterious elders in the temple, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat!

In a sense, divine arts have almost the same deterrent effect on people on this continent as magic.It's just another form of magic.On the mainland, there is usually a well-recognized saying: If you want to deal with knights, you can send knights to deal with knights. Of course, it is better to use magicians.If you want to deal with a magician, then you can only use a magician. In Junker's view, a magician and a magician are almost the same. To deal with a magician, the natural best choice is to use a magician to deal with a magician. Although he is a warrior with good strength, he is not arrogant yet. To the point of challenging two powerful magicians.What's more, under the protection of the powerful Holy Knights, two enemies who can calmly cast magic!To make up for the weakness of melee, they can cast magic without obstruction. The First Prince naturally also saw that the Holy Knights invited out the elders of the temple.However, since the Holy Knights came out, and since the temple dared to send the Holy Knights to participate, it is not surprising to send out the Elders. Although the eldest prince's expression was ugly, it was as expected, and he whispered to a "knight" wearing armor beside him: "Sir, magician, I'll leave it to you." The "knight" made a low and unpleasant voice, and then said with a grin: "I also want to experience the power of the legendary magic of the mainland. This magic has been only famous but I have never seen it... Hmph, these gods If you use a stick, you will only play tricks." After finishing speaking, the armor suddenly fell from the horse on the spot, and the arm, breastplate and helmet turned into parts one by one and fell to the feet scatteredly, while a black air floated out from the armor, as if With vitality, he quickly floated towards the place where General Junker and the elders confronted each other in the distance. Prince Chen, who was standing on the city wall, was almost smiling. He glanced at Du Wei with a smile: "Look, my elder brother has made another stupid move! The biggest flaw of his subordinates is that they don't have outstanding magicians. The guy with a cloud of black energy is probably the undead black mage who intercepted us halfway two nights ago... Hmph, this is also the only powerful mage my elder brother has recruited. It's a pity, He let him out on this occasion, he just asked for bad luck!"
