On the west front, four kilometers away from the Centaur camp, hundreds of missionary priests are distributed in a circular area of 800 square meters. They hold the holy power crystal, chant prayers, and guide the invisible holy power through the holy power pool to cardinal friedes in the center of the French array.
At this time, the old shepherd has been shrouded by the holy light. The platinum light column starts from him, with sacred runes winding and rotating, straight up to the sky and falling, turning the whole circular area into a sea of holy light.
Through the sacred curtain, the paladin seems to be wrapped by warm water waves. The invisible holy power permeates the body and caresses the fear, hesitation and all distractions in the heart. Courage and concentration continue to grow and grow until they are sublimated into pure fighting faith.
"When all things are dark, only the glory lasts forever!"
Holding sharp sickles and machetes, they sang songs of sacrifice loudly, chased after the high-ranking knights and charged on foot to the Centaur camp. The paladin''s leather armor has a faint white gold luster, like countless fireflies converging into a vast and brilliant flood of light, raging against the monster army in front.
Bravery is a basic divine skill, which slightly improves the subject''s strength and agility, significantly improves courage and concentration, and thus improves spiritual and perceptual attributes. It seems to have a general effect, but it can help the subject control the spirit, coordinate the body and mind, control the burden of strength and agility.
In short, bravery is a supernatural skill that makes the subject become an expert by refining pure bravery and simulating the state of pseudo spiritual fire.
Paladins and priests master heroic spells from level 1 to level 7, but the casting effects of low-level clergy and high-level clergy are significantly different, which is basically reflected in the gap between intensity and duration. However, the heroic curtain of heaven divination guided by the shepherd is extremely powerful and has the characteristics of rapid hemostasis. The paladin can not only save a heroic skill and reduce holy power consumption, but also obtain a level 6 heroic skill lasting more than 30 minutes. Moreover, they can stop bleeding in a short time even if they are pierced by a sharp blade through the aorta.
Most importantly, the heroic curtain of heaven is a miracle!
The legendary battle priest Kent felt for the first time that hundreds of thousands of human coalition forces gathered such a huge force of faith to push the heroic sky curtain to an unimaginable height. The White Gold holy light column was more dazzling than the sun. He could not see the shepherd frides in the center of the French array with his naked eyes.
The heroic tabernacle of heaven is the exclusive divine skill of the shepherd. Theoretically, there is no upper limit on the number of blessings, but the erosion of the holy power on the soul will bring a huge burden to the caster, which is manifested in the shortening of life.
Kent usually thinks highly of himself. As a legendary battle priest, he can bless 86 paladins or 44 ordinary soldiers at a time, which is a bit higher than the three pastoral capitals. At this moment, he witnessed the miracles caused by the shepherd frides, and had to admit that he changed positions with frides. He insisted on lifting the heroic sky curtain for up to 20 minutes, otherwise he would be assimilated by the holy light, and it would be impossible to push the heroic sky curtain to the peak of level 6 divinity.
Missionary priests did not participate in the war, and today''s miracles are enough to prove that they played a decisive role in the war. Even if the heroic sky curtain can not support all soldiers, those who witnessed the miracles have great morale, their hearts are full of firm fighting will, and their spirit has become focused and sharp, which can almost be regarded as a weakened heroic skill.
On the contrary, the morale of the Centaur was low and terrified. Some Centaur soldiers couldn''t help retreating, and even the defense formation was in turmoil.
Reverend Kent was at last relieved.
This battle has gathered more than half of the elite of the human country. It can only win a complete victory, not a tragic victory. Because the Sidon Centaur is only an opponent that humans need to defeat. There are more powerful enemies in the east of the Sidon Khanate.
Training a paladin or an elite soldier is not an easy task for both the church and the Lords of the kingdoms. If the human army loses more than 40% of its soldiers in this battle, no one can accept such a result.
Kent commanded a battle of hundreds of thousands of people for the first time in his life. He was under unspeakable pressure. On the premise of winning, Kent would rather open the channel and release tens of thousands of Centaur soldiers in order to minimize the war damage. He also considered various details, including the wind direction.
The eastern front is mainly guarded by the human army, with the wind; Centaur main attack, against the wind. The situation on the west front is just the opposite.
Never underestimate the wind direction. The Centaur occupies a downwind position, and the effective range of the heavy bow can be increased by at least 17%, which means that the human army must have more three rounds of disease arrows of the Centaur to have a chance to meet the enemy in close combat.
According to the prior layout, the Centaur should attack the eastern front with all its strength. When the Centaur army rushes into the defense line deployed by the Duke of Barcelona and meets the tortoise armor knife array, the Legion on on the west front will attack the back array of the Centaur to minimize casualties. This is in line with Kent''s tactical vision.
However, the Centaur gathered the ferocious Centaur leaders of various tribes and attacked the southeast corner of the eastern defense line in an attempt to expand the escape route. Their abnormal behavior was beyond everyone''s expectation.
In the face of life and death, who has such a great ability to command the ferocious centaurs of different tribes?
This is not a good sign!
Kent has no time to think deeply. He believes that the element perception of more than a dozen Golden Knights will not go wrong at the same time. Since the strong among the Centaurs take the initiative to clear the obstacles for the tribal members, the battle plan of the human coalition must be adjusted accordingly.
After a brief exchange with emperor sassanne, he made a quick decision and decided to concentrate all the paladins, Golden Knights, silver knights and ordinary knights on the eastern front to attack the rear of the Centaur camp when the Centaur rear army lacked strong ones; 50000 Temple troops and more than 3000 horned wolves were responsible for launching the second wave of attacks; 130000 elite soldiers approached the north and South wings of the Centaur rear array, covered the Sassanian knights, the shining knights and the temple army with bows and crossbows, and then the Centaurs fled from the northeast and Southeast corners of the west front, and then attacked in an all-round way to encircle and suppress the remaining centaurs.
Everyone fought on foot, because the horses had to be preserved to pursue the deserters of the Centaurs.
Without the cover of war horses, the charging soldiers can only use their bodies to be hard hit by the random arrows shot by the Centaur.
Missionary priests do their best to extend the duration of the heroic sky curtain, so that more paladins can bless bravery. Only in this way can they save their holy power and maintain holy armor.
At the edge of the Dharma array, a preacher with gray hair and haggard face was tottering. Immediately, a paladin came forward to help him. He was still chanting the mantra loudly and struggling not to go on. The paladin pressed the preacher''s neck, paralyzed him and forced him away. Another missionary priest holding holy power crystal immediately took his place.
Kent twitched his mouth and said to the twin warrior beside him, "almost... Tell the shepherd that the heroic curtain of heaven can stop."
"Frederick told me before..."
"... Lord Kent doesn''t have to worry about the heroic curtain of heaven."
"My Lord also ordered..."
"We protect Lord Kent all the way."
Twin brothers, you and I refused Kent''s order.
The legendary battle priest glared at them, turned to deputy commander Wallace and said, "Hey, man, it''s our turn to play."
Wallace in armor nodded, held up two pure gold beheading swords, collided with Mars, and recited loudly: "when everything is dark, only the glory lasts forever!"
"When all things are dark, only the glory lasts forever!"
Thousands of middle-level paladins and battle priests chanted at the same time, riding long howling horned wolves and beasts, through the glorious and sacred heroic sky curtain, and charged at the Centaur camp.
The Centaur Khan of the blue eye tribe looked at the human soldiers pouring in like a tide, and his muscles tightened. Not to mention ordinary tribal members, even he himself saw the heroic curtain of mankind for the first time. Although he was not sure what the effect was, it looked very annoying.
The warrior of the tribe was terrified, and his soft legs and feet worried the blue eyed Khan secretly. He glanced at the thousand captain gnashing his teeth not far away, and couldn''t help feeling a burst of anger.
The ambitious Centaur commander was the son who most satisfied the blue eyed Khan. It was also because of his arrogance and youthful spirit that he wanted to tame the sacrifice of the mother of the earth and the beloved spouse of polta Great Khan. As a result, he angered each other and made the blue eye tribe the first to face the impact of the human army.
Now is not the time to teach his son a lesson. The blue eyed Khan roared and screamed, "all the soldiers of the blue eyed tribe run!"
"There is no Centaur standing still", which means that centaurs can only fight while running.
First, the Centaur is huge. Only running can warm the body, speed up the blood flow, coordinate the upper body and lower limbs, and achieve the best combat state; Second, centaurs are used to living in groups. When they run in groups, they can not only collide and trample on the enemy, but also provide cover for each other. The staggered moving horses will dazzle the enemy and make it difficult to lock the target.
Of course, there will be centaurs killed by the enemy, but not necessarily themselves.
This is enough to awaken the courage of the Centaur.
The Centaur soldiers began to run. They don''t need command or password. Running and fighting with the tribal leader is the skill of centaurs since childhood. Hundreds, thousands, thousands, and finally tens of thousands of blue eyed centaurs ran. They move in a circular cluster behind the camp. The sound of hooves is like thunder, and the earth trembles. Strength, confidence, courage and wildness are surging and brewing in the heart of the Centaur as it runs. It is like a fire thrown into a haystack. It burns rapidly and spreads into a raging flame, burning away the fear and hesitation in the heart, leaving only the direction of free running and the desire to trample on a strong enemy.
Strange laughter echoed in the wind over the Centaur camp.
The human army is less than 5km away from the Centaur camp. It takes only ten minutes for the Centaur to recover its fighting spirit and reorganize its formation, from the missionary priest to show miracles, the heavily armored knights and paladins to charge.
This is the offspring of the mother earth, the unparalleled Centaur in the field.
Cluster charge and circular firing array are the two maces for centaurs to defeat the enemy.
When charging in a cluster, the Centaur first throws a spear and inflicts heavy damage on the enemy, then collides and tramples, conveniently pulls up the spear on the enemy''s body or on the ground, runs to the distance and turns around to launch the second round of charge again. After several rounds, the opponent was fragmented and defeated into an army. The Centaur has been tried repeatedly.
If the cluster charge is the main attack, the circular firing array is the defense means for centaurs to deal with the sudden attack of strong enemies. As they move laterally in front of the enemy, they shoot at the target in turns with a heavy bow. If the enemy rushes into the circular firing array, it must be first bumped and trampled by countless centaurs, or surround it in the center of the circular firing array for continuous firing without dead angle.
Centaurs are naturally flexible and vigorous. There is no obvious boundary between their two combat methods. Cluster charging and circular firing array can be transformed according to the actual situation.
The blue eyed Centaur adopts a circular firing array to deal with the impact of the human Legion. Therefore, they missed the only chance to turn defeat into victory.
All 280000 human troops on the west front left the fortifications, opened their formations and entered the attack position; The shining knights, the blood wolf knights and the temple army have launched a foot charge. If at this time, 140000 centaurs launch a cluster counter charge against the human front, it is really possible to wipe out the human Legion on on the west front.
However, the Centaur and even the tent have been packed. Other tribes are ready to break through from the southeast corner. Why should the blue eye tribe in charge of the broken back let them turn back to fight?
When the Centaur of the blue eye tribe began to make a circular maneuver, the commanders of the human army knew that the danger was over.
The shepherd frides was finally exhausted, and the heroic curtain of heaven slowly dispersed, but the Centaur robber would lose!
The wind direction is good for the Centaur. The heavy arrows they shoot can cover a distance of more than 260 meters, but there is an upper limit to the power of the bow and arrow. The powerful and ferocious Centaur just breaks the bow string and doesn''t want to improve the power of the arrow.
If it is a spear, it is different. With the help of impulse, the javelin thrown by an ordinary Centaur can also penetrate the armor of elite soldiers. However, how can a centaur throw a javelin when it moves in a circle?
The blue eyed Centaur chooses the circular firing array, which aims to weaken ordinary soldiers, slow down their charging speed, let the human Knights acting as the vanguard fall into the heart of the array, separate them from the human army, and then shoot them intensively under the command of the ferocious centaur.
The blue eyed Khan thought well, but the ferocious Centaur of only one tribe was too weak compared with the shining knights and the blood wolf knights. Moreover, they are not black hoof tribes and have not experienced the power of paladins.
The heavy arrow thrown by the Centaur is like a locust blocking the sky and the sun, but it has no effect on the knight wearing heavy gold armor. More than a dozen of his highness led the silver knights to expand the field of the earth. Huang Mengmeng''s air mass joined together to protect the ordinary Knights behind them. The fierce feather arrows flew into the empty earth, and the element force field was like sinking mud. They were unable to fall one after another, which could not hurt the knights at all.
In fact, the bows and arrows of the blue eye tribe focus on the paladins following the knights, and the human Knight forwards are only affected.
There are so many Temple armies that centaurs rarely miss when they shoot arrows with their eyes closed. The reality surprised them.
Paladins are equipped with full-length leather armor, fine iron sickle, machete and arm shield. They used the holy armor technique. The well-made Leather Armor gave off a white golden light and became extremely tough. Their defense was comparable to that of armor, and their performance in other aspects was even better. The Centaur''s heavy arrow was shot on the holy armor and was immediately bounced away.
The holy armor will continue to consume the holy power of paladins. The second-order paladins of the temple army can only maintain the holy armor for about 20 minutes, but this time is enough for them to rush to the Centaur and start a close combat.
Seeing that the bow and arrow could not work, the commander of several ferocious centaurs couldn''t help throwing javelin. They are powerful. The power of javelin is not inferior to that of human crossbow. They run through several paladins at one time. Some people are torn by javelin attached with strong power.
Before it was the Centaur commander''s turn to smile, the stormy Paladin hiding among the paladins immediately hit the exposed ferocious Centaur with color. Several indigo encircled secret silver arrows hit the exposed Centaur from different angles. Its body was cut into neat pieces by the void wind element. It rose and splashed with the surging air, and looked like a blooming blood flower from a distance.
This Centaur''s death was miserable. Other violent centaurs no longer dared to publicize. They were caught in the middle of the team and secretly shot the Paladin with precision cold arrows under the cover of their companions.
The paladins of the testier family are famous. For thousands of years, I don''t know how many violent monsters have died under their bows. The thousand captains of the Lianbu clan grew up listening to the story of Centaur heroes struggling to defeat human archers.
The dangerous confrontation between the Centaur commander and the wind paladin is only a small episode in the battle, and the earth knight is the pillar of the battlefield.
More than a dozen Golden Knights took the lead in rushing into the formation of the Centaurs. They are insurmountable peaks and impregnable fortresses. They wield Mithril beheading swords to cut off the iron hoof torrent of the Centaurs. The great Knights of silver rank are around them, Castle and camp; Ordinary paladins and bronze Knights form sentries under the protection of high-level Knights; The first-class paladins, trainee knights and secret warriors were filled in, and fortifications belonging to the human Legion appeared on the battlefield.
The Centaurs that hit the knight''s barrier flew with blood and flesh, and none were spared.
However, the Centaur''s circular arrow array is designed to deal with strong enemies who are good at guarding. They followed the leader''s hoof prints and quietly changed the angle of maneuver. The whole team pulled outward and bumped head-on into the temple army behind from the side. Centaurs not only surround human knights in the middle, but also cut off the human army.
For knights, this is a circular firing array. For the temple army charging in the rear, it is facing the cluster charging of centaurs!
The Centaur gives full play to its strength and flexibility. It is unparalleled in field operations and deserves its reputation.
The spears fell like rain, the Centaurs charged unstoppably, and the formation of the temple army was chiseled through half!
For a time, the situation of the temple army turned sharply downward, and the war situation became precarious.
