Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 213 War!

In addition to expanding the spiritual network, the effect of the spiritual seed also has many other abilities, such as the spiritual completion of the host, making the host stronger and firmer at the spiritual level.

For example, through the transformation of the spiritual level, it will affect the strengthening of the real body, the development of talent potential, and so on.

Of course, Lando is also studying the latter point, and there are not many results in this area.

Of course, the idea of ​​the spiritual seed is not original to Lando, it is also an idea he got from his "experience" in his previous life, and the original intention of the research is to make better use of the insight he got from nature.

In Lando's view, the most important thing for gods to gain faith is not to show invincible power, but only one ability is enough, and that is to bestow believers—healing skills!
Healing, this is the basic magic that all believers of all the gods in the DND system will be given after becoming priests. It can be said that it runs through the decline and prosperity of a church, and it is the core ability of all churches, none of them!

But now, the natural healing that originated from the Druid system has been changed by Lando and added to the Mind Seed, as the basic ability that every host will awaken after completing boarding.

The spiritual seed will also become an important layout for Lando to upgrade the mutual aid society into a church.

The palm of the hand was slightly tilted, allowing the seed of the mind in his hand to fall into Luca's body. The other party was still in the middle of the passionate speech and did not notice it at all, but Lando could already faintly feel that the latter had begun to undergo inexplicable changes.

With a slight smile, Lando disappeared into the void. Next, he will go to other places to spread the seeds of the mind. The essence of the seeds of the mind also comes from his mind space, so the best host is one that has a faith connection with him. Although people can't condense too many, the accumulated amount is enough to satisfy the current mutual aid association.

Baruch, as one of the largest cities in the east, also fulfilled its obligations at this time, stopping the [-] troops sent by the Supreme King to capture the Marquis Pierce.

The [-] troops included [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers, as well as [-] elite imperial knights.

The auxiliary soldiers may not be mentioned, but those [-] fierce soldiers fought on the border battlefield all year round, and all of them were executioners who took pleasure in killing, and they were extremely ferocious.

Not to mention the five hundred elite imperial knights, each of them is at least an intermediate-level warrior professional, proficient in melee combat and crossbows, wearing excellent armor, holding sharp weapons, and the horses under them are all special horses with the blood of monsters , not only has amazing endurance, but also is extremely adaptable to the bloody environment. In fact, each of them will receive a cub when he joins the Imperial Army Guards. These five hundred knights are enough to disperse, defeat, and annihilate tens of thousands of soldiers!
On the other hand, on the side of the Marquis, more than [-] soldiers had been hoarded in the city of Baruch, but they did not dare to take the initiative to attack at all. Instead, they focused on defending the city safely and planned to wait for reinforcements.

On the other hand, the Gondor army also chose to stand still for the time being. Now that the army has already suppressed the border, there is no reason why soldiers should be quick. Now that they have come in the name of righteousness, they have already received the response of many forces in the East, and even many forces In order to win the favor of the supreme king, he has already brought his own soldiers on the way. If there are more cannon fodder, it will be easier to fight when he really wants to attack the city.

In this way, the situation that was about to fall into a fever seemed to have stagnated again.

A few days later, Marquis Pierce, Brendan, and Lich, the three giants of the Eastern Territory, brought a large number of elite fighters into Baruch City.

Because today's Marquis Pierce and Brendan are not what they used to be, and they have entered the realm of legends, especially Marquis Pierce, who is even stronger than many ordinary legends, so they don't reject going to the front line. With the many abilities bestowed by strength, even if you lose the battle, it is not difficult to escape.

After learning about the current situation, Marquis Pierce decided not to procrastinate any longer. Procrastination will only make those scumbags more shaken. After all, the power of the High King of Gondor is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He now needs to achieve certain results and give The fellow travelers showed confidence, and at the same time let those fools see that he, Marquis Pierce, was not powerless to resist!

Lando stood in the void above Baruch City, quietly watching everything in front of him, and at the same time understood the decision of Marquis Pierce.

He has no objection to this.

For the Marquis of Pierce, either he won a phased victory, completed his goal, and then happily reported to Lando: My lord, the goal we set at the beginning has been achieved, and all plans are on track. Now it is up to you to show your strength After that, we can start planning the next step!

Either he loses the war and is crushed and defeated, and he will kneel down in front of Lando in embarrassment, and say dejectedly: My lord, I am defeated, and I can only ask you to clean up the mess!
Marquis Pierce would definitely not choose to summon Lando before the start of the battle, and then say to him: Look, my lord, the enemy's army is already lined up there, please defeat them, so that we can directly welcome the victory!

Lando came to this world to become a god, not an omnipotent wishing box. He knew this himself. Although the Marquis Pierce and the others didn't know this, at least they understood this truth.

…………

Early in the morning of the second day after Marquis Pierce entered Baruch City, the Gondor army discovered the change in Baruch City.

The Marquis Army roared out of Baruch City and began to line up outside the city, as if they wanted to confront the Gondor Army head-on.

This made the two generals and knight leaders confused and a little uneasy at the same time. Normally speaking, the quality of the Edomite army would never be able to compete with the Gondor army, and shrinking back was their only choice. Now they are actually preparing to confront each other head-on. , When things go wrong, there must be demons. This kind of truth also exists in Gondor.

But the three still decided to fight, because they really couldn't find a reason to avoid the battle. On the contrary, if they chose to avoid the battle, they would lose too much.

Therefore, the general of the Gondor army began to order to quickly light a fire to cook, and take out all the stored dry food and meat for the soldiers to share.

About an hour later, the two sides completed their assembly preparations and began to march towards each other!

"Boom!~"

Like two torrents colliding, the tragic fight has entered a state of anxiety from the very beginning.

Seeing this scene in the void, Lando also felt a little shocked. Everyone said that there were tens of thousands of people, and there was no limit. However, the tens of thousands of people fighting below, plus there were many senior professionals among them, were full of special effects, no? Comparable to any blockbuster movie.

The flames of war raged, blood flowed into rivers, and corpses littered the fields...

He could feel that there were many beings hiding nearby, observing this battle.

The elite guard knights of the Gondor army began to move out. Like sharp blades, they easily pierced the Marquis army. All the Marquis soldiers who witnessed this scene were greatly demoralized, while the Gondor army cheered loudly, as if they were celebrating Victory is coming.

When the elite guard knight turned his horse's head and charged towards the Marquis army again, Marquis Pierce finally activated his hidden trump card.

I saw a group of tall warriors wearing cloaks quietly adjusting their positions when the elite guard knights turned their horses, and came to the route where they were about to charge, and before they were about to be rammed, they lifted their cloaks. Iron armor, heavily armored infantry with a giant steel shield on their backs.

"Iron Shield Guard, Stand Up Shield!"

A loud shout sounded, and all the iron shield guards picked up the huge stainless steel shield behind them in unison, and put them in front of them. There is a sawtooth design under the giant stainless steel shield, which can effectively increase friction and prevent collisions.

"Boom!~"

Because there was no room to turn, the elite knights of the imperial guards directly collided with the giant steel shield, the horse's muscles and bones were shattered, and the knights were thrown out directly. The scapula was broken directly, and the person was also thrown out.

The tragic impact didn't last long, but when the subsequent elite guard knights reacted and turned their horses, they had already lost hundreds of people. When the charge was exhausted, forcing the battle was tantamount to courting death, so The captains of each team ordered to turn around and temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.

The ensuing battle was still fierce, and the elite guard knights were almost a show, because whenever they tried to charge, there would always be a group of tall figures in cloaks blocking their way forward. After realizing it, most of them should be fake, but it is useless even if you understand it, the elite guard knights still dare not charge.

As for the reason, the cost of building the more than 100 elite guard knights lost just now was far more than that of the [-] auxiliary soldiers, and almost equal to that of the [-] soldiers. This kind of treasure is destined to be impossible to consume.

The battle lasted until the afternoon, and when the two sides withdraw their troops and count the losses, the result is shocking.

The Gondor army had nearly 2000 dead and nearly [-] wounded, while the Marquis' army had nearly [-] dead and more than [-] wounded.

The Gondor army couldn't accept this number of casualties. Although most of the dead were auxiliary soldiers, in their view, they should deal with a group of mobs, not the way they are doing now.

The Marquis is quite satisfied with this result. Although there are more troops assembled here, due to geographical reasons, there are almost no large-scale wars in the eastern border. The soldiers are nothing more than a group of recruits who have never been on the battlefield. It is already well-trained to be collapsed at the beginning of the battle, and it is of course satisfactory to have the current result.

And those trump cards that appeared in the war, the Iron Shield Guards, were a trump card that Marquis Pierce had secretly crafted long ago. Perhaps at that time, Marquis Pierce regarded the elite guard knights as imaginary enemies.

At this time, the atmosphere in the central tent of the Gondor army was a bit dull. The three of them could not accept the result of the battle. The knights of the imperial guards are piercing through the enemy's formation twice, and the marquis army will definitely be defeated across the board. At that time, they will be able to easily reap the battlefield and win a hearty victory, instead of being aggrieved like they are now.

But after they glanced at the gloomy offering above, they chose to remain silent.

The leader of the knights is also very helpless. Generally speaking, it is forbidden for the legendary strong to join the army, otherwise the casualties will be too heavy, but when he finds something is wrong, he can't care about it. When the high-level induction pointed out which iron shield guards were real and which were fake for the imperial guard knight, he was stopped by a man in black robe who suddenly appeared, and the two generals generally did the same.

Rather than accusing the leader of the knights, the two generals actually wanted to ask where the legendary pinnacle priest was and why he didn't come out to rescue him.

The priest said solemnly: "The people from the White Elephant Tower did not come, but... the tower owner from the Ring of Nature has come!"

The three of them were just silent in the first sentence. Although they all knew that the upper layer had formed a tacit understanding with the White Elephant Tower, they couldn't say anything without the opponent's efforts during the war. After hearing the latter sentence, the faces of the three immediately changed. Although they knew The Ring of Nature has been secretly supporting the Marquis of Pierce, but it was only in secret. They jumped out to join the Marquis' camp like this, standing on the opposite side of their Gondor army, which they did not expect.

"He stopped you?" Although he already understood the meaning of the enshrinement, the leader of the knights still asked unwillingly.

The priest nodded silently.

"What about the Tower of the White Elephant? Aren't they fighting against the Marquis? Why didn't they send someone to restrain the people from the Ring of Nature? They just let the Marquis gain the upper hand? What good would it do them?!" A general Asked in doubt, what was obtained was a long silence.

"The people from the White Elephant Tower didn't come this time, which is enough to explain a lot of problems." The priest said quietly.

In an instant, the backs of the three felt chills. If the two extraordinary spellcasting organizations of Gondor both joined the Marquis camp, the consequences would be...

"In short, the current situation has exceeded our expectations, so let's take a long-term view." Another general said.

"How can you retreat? If you retreat now, wouldn't the majesty of the Supreme King become a laughing stock?!" The knight leader immediately objected.

The priest's face became even more gloomy. He never intervened when marching and fighting, but if the face of the Supreme King was at stake, he would never choose to stand by and watch.

The two generals looked at each other, both a little distressed, and they were annoyed to work with these people with little military knowledge.

"It's not a retreat, it's just choosing a more favorable location to camp again!"

For this explanation, the knight leader and the priest reluctantly agreed after considering it for a long time.

Although the two generals understand that retreating now will lose some initiative, staying here is not an option. If the fight continues, the opponent will only lose their combat power, and this is the opponent's territory, and there is a steady stream of cannon fodder. Grinded to death by the Marquis army, he can only choose to stick to the favorable terrain and wait for the assembly of other anti-Marquis forces, or the Supreme King mobilizes other forces.

Although they suffered a small setback this time, the four of them always firmly believed that the victory would definitely be theirs.

PS: I know for the first time that war is too difficult to write. I checked the introduction of the national army of the Lord of the Rings, checked ancient Chinese wars, and checked some Western lord wars. Enter the world view of this world, and get the numbers and plots written above. If there are experts in this field, don’t complain about me. Just follow what I wrote. Anyway, I won’t change it. There is a high probability of this book in the future. There will be no war scenes either, well, the war ends in the next chapter.
