Chapter 59 Travelers

Soon the infantry and some adventurers behind caught up with the main force, and Taelan Fordring finally reunited with his brother.

He activated the purification aura again, providing recovery and blessing for the soldiers who came on the march.

His warhorse was killed, so he had to apply for another one. He had just established trust and cooperation with the white horse. Now he had to start all over again. Even with the blessing of holy light, ordinary warhorses could not escape death on the battlefield.

Angela saw that Tyran Fording was covered in wounds, with an arrow stuck in his back. She ran over quickly, helped him remove the arrow before Karin, and then skillfully bandaged the wound on his arm.

He whispered, "Thank you, Angela, I'm fine.

Be careful later, and tell me about Tina when you get back."

In fact, Tailan was now covered in wounds. It was only because of the powerful damage reduction provided by the Holy Armor that he would have been killed by the bleeding alone.

The cavalry led by Dawi completed the first round of attack. They did not collide directly with the large group of trolls, but instead charged along the edge of the troll group. The sharp attack of the paladin brought a wave of death.

They rushed over, and a warhorse was left alone. It raised its head and snorted. It was waiting for its master...

This charge slowed down the trolls' pursuit, and they stopped to form a simple battle formation, ready for battle.

But Dawi did not stop and use sabers to fight them like ordinary human cavalry. Instead, he sped away from the battlefield and rushed into the endless wilderness.

It was this charge that brought Taelan Fordring back into the ranks and bought a brief opportunity for the following troops to form a line.

After a hasty bandage, he took Demetria and Angela to join the front infantry formation.

Taelan Fordring immediately took command, and he led the heavy armored infantry into three rows.

A small number of hunter troops shot at the two wings and immediately began to set traps. Behind them came the heavy armored infantry who began to dress up. With the help of the magic storage bags unique to this world, they quickly became iron cans.

Behind them came the spearmen with polearms, resting their weapons against the shields of their front-row companions. The healers and spellcasters were placed at the end.

Tyran Fording did not fully deploy his troops. He wanted his aura to take care of as many soldiers as possible. In a large-scale battle, the best one to use is definitely fanaticism, which is a more powerful group auxiliary ability than the shaman's bloodthirst.

The Silver Hand's troops are full of talent. A powerful captain has activated the Aura of Command. Tyran Fordring has activated Contempt. This makes the already strong defense of the heavy infantry even stronger. This type of soldier is naturally restrained by Troll Headhunters and Hunters.

The troops moved forward one after another. The trolls also realized that they had missed a chance to fight because they had misjudged the cavalry's charge tactics.

Tyran Fording was still thinking that it would be perfect if he had a high-level mage unit. A blizzard cast by a group of ice mages together could be called a war spell. But he never had enough mage units. Every mage was a treasure.

In fact, this involves a characteristic of the times: the entire human kingdom is a world of nobles and knights. They are the rulers and protectors of the country.

Mages are their collaborators, but they are also rejected by them. In the alliance countries, mages either exist as magic advisors or are nobles themselves.

The Silver Hand does not have a full-fledged mage unit because there are too few mages. Currently there are only a few young mages such as Angela Dusatus.

After the trolls lost the command of Tareshsen and the Amani trolls, they lost their order, but they did unite!
There are two reasons why the trolls did not flee. The first is that the other side has a scout force composed of cavalry and hunters. If they flee, they will be hunted down and killed. The other reason is that they have a great advantage in terms of military strength.

Zubrin Twisted Branch estimated based on previous experience. The trolls' strength was more than twice that of humans, and the physical fitness of troll warriors was stronger than that of human infantry. Even if the humans were in a neat formation, they could still defeat them two against one.

And he estimated that Taelan Fordring didn't have much fighting power left.

But war is not entirely about who has more people, but also about their equipment, training and coordination. The battlefield is ever-changing, and sometimes morale can determine the outcome of a war.

Tyran Fordring had indeed lost his unrivaled power to charge into battle, but the strength of the Paladin in the Legion War was unmatched by any other profession except the Archmage.

Both sides only made a short preparation, and the silent battlefield became boiling again.

A gust of wind with the smell of blood blew by, and the wild grass bent down. Two greedy forest wolves poked their heads out of the dark forest, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The two armies launched a desperate battle to fight for the right to survive and the space for racial development.

The hunters at the front had already set traps to protect the flanks of the troops. They were the first to attack, all with projectiles, and the heavy arrows dropped from high altitudes pinned many unfortunate trolls to the ground.

As the distance between the two sides closes, the hunters begin to release their rain of arrows. After this round of attack is completed, they will switch to free shooting, start marking and focusing on attacking the opponent's high-value targets. They will not turn around and retreat.

Because the first row of heavy armored infantry behind them passed them and smashed their heavy shields into the ground. They gave up the means of attack because this task would be handed over to the spearmen in the back row. They thrust their spears through the gaps in the shields.

Some trolls were killed by spears immediately. At this time, the first row of warriors had already had a violent collision with the troll warriors. Even the strongest defense was inevitably broken. Several heavy armored infantry were knocked down by the powerful troll leader.

At this time, Demetria, who had been silently watching Tyran Fordring command the troops, suddenly raised his hands, and holy light rose. The surrounding warriors all rose with blessing lights and prayers of fortitude. Tyran Fordring opened the Violet Eye, and six illusory holy wings grew behind him, gently flapping in the air. The fallen warriors were all given divine protection.

The war of blood and fire began. Zubrin Twisted Branch fired the long-prepared lightning chain. Fierce electric snakes slithered among the human infantry. These iron cans were good conductors of lightning.

The divine protection was broken. With the help of this spell, the troll warriors finally broke through several infantry defenses. The headhunters set their sights on healers like Demetria.

Reckless Angela released a spell she had just learned.

She raised one hand, and a huge holy light array was formed, and then the holy energy contained in it exploded. Holy Nova! It not only healed the surrounding human soldiers, but also affected several trolls who broke into the human array.

This ability of attack and defense brought her hatred. Paris was always a considerate man, and he immediately blocked several fierce spear attacks with his shield.

Seeing his companions becoming stronger, Taelan Fording was happy from the bottom of his heart!

Niuzhi then realized that there was such a talent among those who escaped. He immediately issued an order, and the troll headhunters started to go berserk. Their bodies turned red, the power of their spears became stronger, and their attack speed increased significantly.

The ensuing battle became intense, with the humans relying on their superior equipment and the coordination of their arms, while the trolls relied on their numerical superiority and natural abilities, and the two sides were evenly matched.

Zubrin Twisted Branch was not easy to deal with, and his earthquake spell caused a lot of trouble for humans. The totem was not very effective.

Zubrin Twisted Branch was about to use Lightning Chain to break the situation again. This spell was the natural enemy of those infantrymen. It had already killed several infantrymen with this spell. But at this moment, Demetria suddenly stretched out his hand and made a casting motion, and then the power of shadow flashed by. Twisted Branch was silenced!
Tyran Fording looked back at Demetria. She had become a bishop, and now she was very strong. But he didn't know what school she had awakened. Was it a holy priest represented by the Holy Nova? Or a discipline priest who focused on asceticism? Demetria seemed to know what Tyran Fording was thinking, and she said, "Mind and Shadow."

She is indeed developing towards the direction of a sage. But why did you cast a prayer of fortitude instead of spiritual comfort?
"Ding! You have changed part of Demetria's fate, and you have gained 10 points of world power.

You gained 1 skill point."

Praise Demetria, you are such a good man!
Another group of trolls in the front row were killed by the advancing humans. Niuzhi had no choice but to let the trolls form a dense formation and then send some people to attack the spellcasters and hunters at the rear of the formation.

But at this moment, the ground on their left suddenly shook.

Davy led the cavalry around, which was composed of paladins, knights, and some mounted infantry.

These 100 people were already terrifying in this era! They launched a flank attack, cutting through the trolls, who were in disarray in order to divide their forces to surround Tyran Fordring, from the back half of the formation.

The knights riding on tall warhorses, led by the fully armed paladins, rushed through the trolls' not-so-strict ranks like a gust of wind. All the trolls that stood in their way were knocked over. In fact, the power of the cavalry charge came from the speed of the warhorses. The impact of several tons was not something that ordinary trolls could resist.

Dawi's lance pierced into the chest of a troll, breaking it. He threw away the lance handle and used the scimitar infused with holy light to cut the roadblock behind him in two. Then he led the team away with the wind, leaving only death behind.

Dawi and Taelan Fording got along very well, they were of the same kind. When Taelan was learning dwarven fighting in Darrowshire, they often discussed cavalry tactics together.

Dawi, who had killed his way through the trolls' front line, moved away and made a maneuver before launching another assault. The two consecutive penetrations not only caused a large number of casualties to the trolls, but also caused their formation to become chaotic and their morale to drop. After Dawi took the lead in casting holy light to resist the lightning chain of the twisted branches, he launched another cavalry assault. The trolls completely collapsed.

They activated their ancestral skills again, which was to run away if they couldn't win. Seeing that they were about to scatter, Taelan Fordring immediately activated the Holy Freezing Aura with a smaller range of influence.

This time there were no accidents. Most of the troll rebels were destroyed, and a small number escaped into the forest. Angela dramatically used Shadow Word: Pain to snatch the head of Twisted Branch.

Then Tyran Fording knew that the natives of this world could also be promoted through heads. Angela completed the upgrade in front of him, the kind with special effects. A holy light descended from the sky. Then she was gorgeously promoted to bishop.

She gained the supernatural powers of Shadow Form and Mind Flay.

Of course, Angela told him this afterwards.

The optimistic and cheerful Angela became a shadow priest, with a dark mentality and a sharp tongue...

Taelan Fording suddenly stopped thinking. Demetria frowned and looked at him.

"You are special. I can't read your mind, but your rude thoughts just now were too obvious!"

Not only did Taelan Fording unconsciously distance himself from her, but everyone around her also felt it. Ever since she said that she had awakened her soul to comfort herself, everyone felt something was wrong.

You're done, you can't get married!

 Thanks for correcting me!
