Chapter 485: A Hundred and Eight Angels Battle Formation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Honorable Knights Team was known as the strongest Knights team on the continent. For thousands of years, not only did they strongly defend the Holy City, but they had also made illustrious achievements on the battlefield for the Church. Every Knight was handpicked from tens of thousands, and their capabilities were astonishing. The big and strong battle horses were all chosen from the best horses from the ice and grassy field plains. Not only did they have astonishing endurance, but they were also speedier and had charging power far above an ordinary battle horse. The Knights and battle horses were all wearing armor, which was carved with complicated drawings, which were blessed by generations of Popes. They were immune to low to mid-level spells.

This was a group of the cream of the crop of elites, a strong current of force armed to the teeth with steel, imposing even tens of thousands of miles away and able to kill people like flies!

“Gather, quick, gather!” Looking at the teams of Honorable Knights who had emerged from the Teleportation Formation, the Red-robed Archbishop was moved beyond words. He loudly commanded and rapidly gathered the soldiers beside him, who were still stubbornly fighting.

If one were to say that the sudden attack by the Magical Beasts Army caused him to fall into hell from heaven, then it could be said that the appearance of the Honorable Knights Team had allowed him to see the way back to heaven from hell!

“Defend Saint Peter, kill!”

“For the Church’s glory…”

…

After quickly getting into formation, the Honorable Knights Team was on the frontlines, attacking the Magical Beasts around the Spell Formation. The high-level Spellcasters accompanying the army muttered for a while to quickly give the Knights high-level Holy Shield and Agility Boosting Technique. In an instant, the armor on the Knights glowed silver, and the whole Knights Team penetrated into the Great Magical Beasts Army camp like a sharp knife.

They went all out when fighting the enemy and were immovable like a mountain!

Even when faced with the Magical Beasts that blanketed the sky and covered the earth, the Honorable Knights were not affected, their expressions cold as ice. Under the command of the General, they spurred their horses on and charged. Their movements were as swift as the wind, and they got faster and faster. Every time the ice-cold and sharp lances attacked, there was bound to be a Magical Beast that would get killed in one shot by them. Not to mention the ordinary Marmots, even the Red-haired Tarantulas, which had leveled to level three, could not defend against the powerful and heavy lances. A few of the high-level Knights were even more powerful, their immense Battle Energy forming into a silver ray encircling their lance. Every time they waved, it would leave deep marks on the ground, killing a big group of ordinary Marmots at once.

The Church was extremely powerful, and every team of Knights was matched with huge numbers of Spellcasters. As the Ace of the aces, the Honorable Knights Team had a higher ratio of Spellcasters to Knights. All of them were high-level Spellcasters and had the power of the Great Spellcasters and above. Under the protection of the Knights, they worked together to cast group spells that did astonishingly great damage, like the Wall of Fire with flames shooting up to the sky, icicles that were so cold that it cut into the bones, explosive fireballs that would explode with just a touch…All these caused the densely packed Marmots to fall in droves!

If one were to say that the Honorable Knights, like a flood of steel, were like a sharp knife, precise in their attacks, then one could also say that the Spellcasters that followed after were mobile canons, using group spells to bombard the ground and plow it once through!

“Good, well done, killing them. Kill all of these damn fellows!” Seeing the Honorable Knights Team go on a killing spree, Carell was thrilled that revenge was ruthlessly taken. While shouting, he led the remaining guards by his side to charge towards the Teleportation Formation, preparing to meet up with the army that had come to their aid, pinning his hopes on saving the castle on these powerful Knights.

Previously, he did think about using the Teleportation Formation to escape. But, thinking about the Pope way high up, and the Pope’s sharp and ice-cold gaze, he had no choice but to give up on that idea. Saint Peter Castle was the commerce center and Springboard for members of the Church who were heading South. The resources stored here took much effort and manpower. If he abandoned the sinking castle and fled by himself, he feared that he would be pursued by the bunch of crazy people at the Judgement Court the very next day. He would not be able to escape that even if he fled to the ends of the earth!

The change on the battlefield quickly caught the attention of various characters like Yang Ling and the Demoness. Under Yang Ling’s command, the high-level Magical Beasts like the Giant Ape King and Dark Dragon King rapidly came to support. The Demoness even exploded in anger. Not only did she gather hordes of Marmots to surround Saint Peter Church, she even attacked personally. Dense swarms of Wind Daggers swept across the great formation of the Honorable Knights Team like a tornado, taking down more than a dozen Spellcasters who could not dodge in time so quickly, it was as if one had no time to cover one’s ear before lightning struck.

Howl…

Under Yang Ling’s command, a group of Giant Apes carrying out mass slaughter nearby reached first, led by the Giant Ape King. Using their strong bodies and heavy armor, they stopped the Honorable Knights, who were rapidly charging, in their tracks. They then ruthlessly smashed into them. With a dull banging sound, they smashed one of the leaders of the Knights, along with his horse, into a pile of minced meat.

“Quick, turn around, speed up, hurry!”

Looking at the bloodthirsty and crazily ferocious Giant Apes like devils from hell, and looking at their huge physical bodies and ruthless giant bats, the Commander of the Knights Gadsuri, was both alarmed and angered. He gave the command sternly. The Knights did not rely on their hard armor or sharp lances to be unstoppable. They relied on the force of impact that could move mountains and seas, which their great speed brings. Right now, they were surrounded by swarms of Marmots. If they lost their rapid maneuverability, the consequences did not bear thinking!

If they were not careful, they might get swallowed by the sea of Magical Beasts!

As the Great Commander of the Honorable Knights Team, Gadsuri was not only proficient in the art of war, but he had also trained to become a Sage level Knight. His power was comparable to the Domain Experts on the continent. His position within the Church was also not weaker than any Red-robed Archbishop. Before receiving the secret mission and being ordered to use the Teleportation Formation to rush to Saint Peter, he had already gotten intelligence from various sources and knew that allied forces of the Magical Beasts Realm and the Dark Association were forced to retreat from lack of food.

At first, he had planned to lead his army to Saint Peter Castle and immediately join in the battle without waiting for the Angel Army to arrive and wipe out the enemy who was caught unaware. He did not expect to see that the numbers of Magical Beasts covered the sky and blanketed the earth the moment they emerged from the Teleportation Formation. The Knights Team was rushed into the battlefield even before they had all arrived.

The Knights Team were well-trained and were precise in their attacks. But it could not be helped that the numbers of Magical Beasts were simply too high, especially the very quick Marmots. A wave of them would pounce, and the others behind would continue. There were simply too many to kill! Their sharp teeth could even bite the hard lances of the Knights into half. It was unimaginable what the Knights could use to protect the armor on their bodies if the energy of the Holy Shield was used up. If there were no more armor, what could be used to protect the bodies of the soldiers?

Faced with the Magical Beasts that blanketed the sky and covered the earth, Gadsuri knew very clearly in his heart that right now, not to mention vanquishing the enemy, that it would be good enough if the Knights Team could protect themselves. Their only hope was for the Angel Army to catch up quickly to them. Then, with the combined powers of the two ace armies, they would stage a counterattack!

“Hmph, they’re looking for death!”

Looking at the Honorable Knights Team which was rapidly making a detour around the Giant Apes which had blocked their way, and looking at the Red-robed Archbishop who had not yet given up hope, and again seeing the soldiers sent to their aid, who kept emerging from the Teleportation Formation, Yang Ling snorted coldly. He then summoned the Burning Fire Elves and the Blood Angels and ordered them to join in the battle. Thereafter, he wore the Ice-sealing Armor, took out the sharp Blood Elf Dagger, and teleported out by making a Wizard signal with his fingers.

In order to capture the robbers, one must capture their king!

In order to quickly win the battle, Yang Ling simply locked his target on the leader of the enemy. Using the Earth Evasion Wizard Technique, he soundlessly appeared behind the Red-robed Archbishop Carell and used a ray of ‘Soul Explosion’ to directly attack the other party’s soul. Taking advantage of the opportunity when his head felt like it was splitting open, Yang Ling used the sharp dagger to cut Carell’s throat open. Immediately thereafter, he teleported away, attacking the Knight’s Commander, Gadsuri’s soul. Then, Yang Ling punched him, sending him flying and completely breaking down his Holy Shield!

After Yang Ling had increased his power greatly, Experts below the peak level of the Domains were all not much of a threat in his eyes. Relying on his sneaky Teleportation Spell and Soul Attacks that were impossible to guard against, he had become an assassin on the battlefield. Caught unaware, Carell and Gadsuri all fell victim to his sneak attacks.

Howl…

After letting out a roar, without needing Yang Ling’s instruction, the Giant Ape King and the Dark Dragon King charged towards the severely injured Gadsuri on the ground, one after another. Because of his astonishing ability to leap, the Giant Ape King was even quicker than the Dark Dragon King by half a step, ruthlessly smashing his bat into the other party’s chest. With a cracking sound, Gadsuri’s Knight’s heavy armor that supposedly gave defended against all low to mid-level Spells had a huge dent, and his ribs were almost all broken in an instant.

“Sir, sir…”

“Quick, charge towards there, hurry!”

…

Seeing their Commander severely wounded and on the ground, the Knights were shocked and tried their best the charge over while shouting. Unfortunately, they were a step too late! Only to see the Dark Dragon King let out a roar, before diving straight down from the air and snatching Gadsuri up into the air, then grabbing hold of his legs, he gave a strong pull, directly tearing him in two halves.

This was the real power of the Magical Beasts Army?

Looking at the cold expression on Yang Ling’s face, and the bloodthirsty and ferocious Giant Ape King beside him, and then looking again at the Dark Dragon King circling low in the air, the previously proud Knights got a great shock. Even their Commander, a Sage level Knight, had died instantly in the other party’s hands. It was easy to imagine how terrifying these high-level Magical Beasts were!

Without a leader, their morale dropped to a freezing point in an instant. They were completely surrounded by the Marmot Great Army, and their formation was quickly broken, rendering them unable to spur their horses on and sprint off. As for the Spellcasters behind them, they were being targeted by the Magical Beasts Army!

“Kekeke, Corpse Explosion, explode, explode, explode!” Taking advantage of the moment of panic in the other party, the Corpse Wizard King attacked without restraint.

Compared to the powerful Magical Beasts like the Giant Ape King and the Dark Dragon King, he preferred to sneak into the Army and attack sneakily, and preferred to catch people unaware and stab them in the back. Enveloped by the Zombie Poison Domain, whether it was the Corpse Explosion or Poison Explosion, all of them expressed an astonishing ability to kill. After a series of earth-shattering explosions, the Knights’ confidence and courage to counterattack were completely destroyed.

Buzz…

Just as the Honorable Knights Team’s formation was in chaos, the Teleportation Spell Formation once again gave out a bright glow. After a buzzing sound, what emerged were no longer Knights in heavy silver armor, but Six-Winged Angels and even Eight-winged Angels, carrying giant blades.

At the critical moment, the Church’s Angel Army had finally arrived!

Compared to the Honorable Knights Team, even though the arriving Angels were all copies, they were much more powerful. They also had more battle experience, immediately forming into Angel Battle Formation the moment they arrived. Regardless of attack or defense capabilities, they had all reached a terrifying level, with the power of a hundred and eight high-level Angels combined.

A few Mutant Spiders circling low in the air did not have time to dodge, before instantly getting cut in two halves by the Knife Arista that they cast together. The Marmots were even worse off. After seeing a flash of the Knife Arista, the Marmots within a radius of twenty steps were nearly all wiped out. Without exception, they were all cut into pieces!

A Hundred and Eight Angels Battle Formation?

Looking at the powerful Angel Army, Yang Ling got a shock. After realizing how the Angel Battle Formation works, no one understood more clearly than he did how terrifying this Battle Formation was. Back in the day, he had barely escaped with his life when he was surrounded by eighteen Six-Winged Angels. Now that the powers of a hundred and eight high-level Angels have combined, how terrible would it be?
