Path of light

Chapter 349 350. Comprehension

As a devout believer in the moon, Captain Jones did not let Roy use the power of holy light to treat him until his death.

Elves' bodies have a high affinity for magic, and as long as they are willing to learn magic, they will become magicians.

They are also known as the sons of nature, and each elven warrior is an excellent archer.

If there were no natural or man-made disasters, elves could actually live up to 800 years old. The life span of elves is even longer than that of dwarves...

It's just that... the elves' bodies are relatively weak. Even if they are protected by sophisticated armor, the elves will inevitably encounter accidents during battle.

Captain Jones was lying on the top of the city, with spears stuck in his chest and left leg. The blood from his mouth spread along the gaps in the stone slabs. The entire Elf Warriors of the 10th Reconnaissance Team gathered around him.

Everyone watched as Captain Jones closed his eyes and exhaled his last breath.

A group of elf warriors shouted angrily, and everyone joined the military formation on the city wall, continuously attacking the plateau headhunters.

It's just that the headhunter is like a ghost, wandering on the edge of the battlefield.

Every time he appears, he stabs an elf warrior and then disappears into a puff of smoke...

Roy stared at the headhunter from a distance. The two were far apart, and the 'Hammer of Judgment' in his hand could not reach the headhunter at all.

The battle entered a stalemate stage, and the plateau headhunters gradually established a firm position at the northwest corner of the city wall.

Facing several counterattacks by plateau headhunters, the elf warriors had no choice but to retreat one after another.

The plateau headhunters are cruel by nature. Every time they counterattack, an elf warrior will fall.

Those plateau headhunters even dared to pounce directly on them, hugging the elf warriors tightly with both arms. The plateau headhunters behind them who were responsible for finishing the damage would stab the elf warriors and plateau headhunters who were hugging each other without hesitation.

The soldiers of Team 10 didn't even have time to dispose of Captain Jones' body before they joined the military formation to prevent the plateau headhunters from counterattacking.

For a time, there was fighting everywhere on the city wall.

The corpses of the private soldiers in the mine had long been thrown outside the city wall, while the corpses of the elf warriors were leaning on the stone steps, and they were laid out in a long row...

This kind of square military formation had been practiced by the elf warriors for a long time. Roy couldn't get in behind the military formation. He turned around and moved Captain Jones' body to the stairs, and wiped his mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief. The blood on the body has already solidified.

Rambo got a fighting short bow, mixed with a group of archers, and kept shooting arrows.

Roy squatted alone on the steps.

He also wanted to get some linen and wrap the body of Captain Jones in it.

At this time, a bad sign suddenly appeared in his heart...

Roy only felt that there were a pair of eyes behind him staring at him. He did not dare to act rashly. As long as those eyes behind him were ruthless enough and pushed the dagger on Roy's waist forward, Roy might follow Jones. The captain's footsteps became a lonely soul in the mine.

At this time, the elf warriors suddenly let out a unified shout.

Roy took the opportunity to turn around and block the dagger with the sacred scepter in his hand...

The edge of the dagger almost pierced Roy's leather belt, and the sacred scepter in Roy's hand just hit the plateau headhunter's wrist, knocking the dagger away.

Then another plateau headhunter took the opportunity to pounce on him and hugged Roy with his body and the book tightly.

The plateau headhunter who followed from behind took the opportunity to pull out his war spear and stabbed Roy with the war spear in his hand.

The war spear first penetrated the plateau headhunter's body, and then Roy felt a sharp pain in his ribs.

He glanced down and realized that the war spear had almost grazed his ribs.

There was an overflowing light on his magic pattern structure. If it were not for the blessing of petrified skin and iron armor, he would probably be pierced by this war spear...

The plateau headhunter who hugged Roy with all his strength was injured. Roy quickly turned around and pinned him down. Roy smashed the 'Book of Judgment' in his hand on the plateau headhunter's face, knocking the first After being knocked unconscious by a plateau hunter, he raised his sacred scepter to hold the bloody war spear. .

At this time, Roy did not dare to make any extra moves. The magic pattern structure on his body gave him some magical attributes. Roy relied on the magic pattern structure on his body to block the assassination of the plateau headhunter.

Just as Roy turned around, he finally finished reciting the prayer quickly, and a hammer flew out from Roy's chest, hitting the plateau headhunter who was attacking him so hard that he fell from the steps into the hollow inner courtyard. .

Roy also took the opportunity to push away the plateau headhunter who hugged him.

Unexpectedly, the plateau headhunter had already rushed into the fortress. Roy stood on the walking platform and glanced at the city wall.

The battle situation on the city wall was relatively stable. He reached out and touched his waist. Sure enough, there was an obvious scratch on the belt...

If the leather of the belt hadn't been thick enough, there might have been a big gash on his waist.

Before Roy could walk onto the city wall, several plateau headhunters climbed up from the walls on both sides. The two plateau headhunters held war blades in their hands and attacked Roy at the same time, forcing Roy to be unable to parry and could only continue to attack him. Back away.

The strength of the two plateau headhunters was much higher than that of Roy. It was only with the blessing of various magical effects on the magic pattern structure that Roy could not fall behind when facing the two plateau headhunters.

Roy was helpless and kept retreating on the steps.

He actually really wanted an elf warrior to rush out at this time to help him deal with one of the plateau headhunters, giving him the power to fight back.

But there were just a row of corpses of elves who died in battle sitting on the steps.

As two more plateau headhunters appeared behind Roy, he knew very well that his escape route was cut off.

Facing the attacks from four plateau headhunters, Roy awakened the power of the Holy Light in his body in a desperate situation...

…

The next second, an invisible tree broke through his body.

The shadow of the Tree of Holy Light appeared behind Roy. The big tree exuded a strong sacred aura. Although it looked a bit blurry in the dark night, it could still allow these plateau headhunters to see that this tree was Roy's. Potential'...

The big tree turned into a vague shadow. Although it was very unstable, it still contained a sacred aura.

Because of the presence of 'power', Roy's body was covered with a faint sacred aura, and even the sacred scepter in his hand was condensed with a layer of holy light.

The sacred scepter and the Book of Judgment grew lighter in his hand...

Roy didn't expect that he would realize the 'potential' at this time, and he was inevitably a little excited.

He raised his sacred scepter and forced the two plateau headhunters in front of him to retreat...

The two plateau headhunters behind swung their knives to attack Roy. Roy didn't dodge this time. He was holding the chained Book of Judgment in one hand and the sacred scepter in his right hand. The Book of Judgment he was swinging was still very strong. With enough strength, he crashed directly into a plateau headhunter next to him.

The holy light shone through the Book of Judgment and shone on the plateau headhunter. On the dark steps, the elf headhunter felt intense burning pain.

Roy used the sacred scepter to hold the opponent's war spear, and the two plateau headhunters retreated again.

At this time, the elf warriors on the city wall finally discovered the fighting on the stairs. Two elf warriors quickly came to support and shared the burden of Roy's opponents.

Roy relied on the magical effect of the magic pattern structure and the power of holy light in his body to fight these plateau headhunters on the city wall all night.

…

When he finally saw a bright light in the sky, the headhunter wiped the war blade in his hand on his trouser leg and immediately wiped away the blood stained on it.

The headhunter squinted his eyes, and there seemed to be a few extra gray shadows in the light blue sky in the distance.

As the gray shadows became clearer and clearer, he saw that those gray shadows were a group of Silver Pegasus warriors, and the headhunter's face became ugly...

Originally, this raid was inevitable...

He even planned five siege plans.

Although they tried everything that night, it was a pity that no matter how hard the headhunters tried, they could not capture the mine fortress.

When daybreak came, the plateau headhunters did not dare to stay any longer...

The headhunter leader blew the whistle on his chest. As the sharp sound sounded, the plateau headhunters stopped fighting and everyone gathered towards the headhunter leader.

The battle formation composed of elven warriors will continue to attack...

The headhunter leader jumped off the city head first, and the other headhunters followed suit, and landed outside the rock wall one after another.

Before the Silver Pegasus warriors arrived, this group of plateau headhunters quickly evacuated from the mine fortress.

Before leaving, the headhunter leader even took away the dying Grantham mine owner. Along with the plateau headhunters, there were less than a hundred private soldiers from the mines under the city wall. The bodies of these plateau headhunters were very flexible. After a few jumps, he disappeared among the rocks.

The headhunter leader stood on a boulder unwillingly, looking back at the mine fortress hidden behind the stone wall...

Unable to take away the astonishing wealth accumulated by the Grantham mine owner, the headhunter could only take away the Grantham mine owner whose life was in danger.

…

A quarter of an hour later, a reinforcement team of nearly thirty Silver Pegasus warriors finally flew over.

Since there are no natural enemies, these silver Pegasus can fly unscrupulously in the sky...

The Silver Pegasus warriors came to the sky above the mine fortress and saw that the city wall seemed to be stained with blood. They could only drop their horses in the inner courtyard.

The plateau headhunters had already retreated, and the dead elf warriors were also carried to the yard and placed neatly on their backs.

The Silver Pegasus warriors were also shocked when they looked at the corpses of the elf warriors on the ground.

These Silver Pegasus warriors never expected that so many people in the fortress died in the battle last night...

The surviving elf warriors were also injured, and everyone was depressed and had not yet recovered from the excitement.

Roy grabbed a blood-stained sacred scepter and sat back on the steps.

His body was a little overdrawn, and even the Book of Judgment was left on the steps aside. The power of Holy Light in his body was completely drained, but now he clearly remembered the appearance of the Tree of Holy Light. a feeling of.

It turns out that this is what 'power' looks like, Roy thought silently in his heart.

Understanding the situation means that Roy's promotion to the great priest will be smooth.

The body of Captain Jones was placed next to the fallen soldiers of the 10th Reconnaissance Squadron. There were a total of twelve members of the 10th Reconnaissance Squadron. Apart from Roy and Rambo, only four were left alive.

Lambo was able to survive by chance only because he picked up an elf longbow during the battle last night, and then ran to the archery tower. Like other elf archers, he stood on the archery tower and kept shooting at these plateau headhunters.

If it hadn't been for the headhunting leader who kept causing casualties here, the elf warriors might not have died so many.

Now the corpses of the elven warriors are all placed in the yard, and the number of those killed even exceeds half of the total number of warriors left behind...

The Silver Pegasus warriors have already followed the traces of those plateau headhunters, and the mine fortress has to clean up the battlefield before the corpses rot.

There was solidified blood everywhere in the stone crevices on the city wall, which could not be cleaned for the time being. Everyone could only carry the bodies of the plateau headhunters and mining private soldiers who died in the battle outside the fortress.

Although Roy was also exhausted, he joined everyone in cleaning up the battlefield.

Both of Lambo's arms were strained, but at this time, he could only grit his teeth and follow the team silently.

The Silver Pegasus warriors chased them for a long time, and reportedly blocked a group of mining private soldiers under a rock cliff, but those plateau headhunters disappeared into the mountains again.

…

Captain Yalig came back at noon. He rode back to the mine fortress and saw the burnt marks on the doorway at a glance.

There was a strong smell of blood floating throughout the fortress. No one expected that those plateau headhunters would raid the mine when it was most empty. This should be regarded as the most brutal battle since the Silver Pegasus Legion entered the Pagisto Plateau. .

All the elven warriors fought desperately all night...

Captain Yalig looked at the corpses lying on the ground. Almost all of these elf warriors were hand-picked by him, but now they were all turned into cold corpses.

Captain Yalig stood in the courtyard of the fortress, silent for a long time.
