At the same time, Kant also saw the War Temple’s priest behind a small window on the second floor of the guard hall of War Temple.
At this time, in the main hall of the War Temple, the statue of the God of War was covered with a thick layer of blood-red light. This blood-red light carried a holy aura and spread out from the statue towards the outside of the main hall of the War Temple.
It enveloped the entire guard hall of War Temple, as well as the 1,000 soldiers in front of the guard hall of War Temple.
The moment they were enveloped by this red light, the soldiers roared out in pain.
Their auras were also increasing rapidly.
At the start, Kant estimated that these soldiers of War Temple were only at the level 4 level 5 troop class. However, after being enveloped by the red light, their auras were already at the level 5 troop class, they were not far from Kant’s Rhodok Sergeants.
“Divine spell of war: Golden Spear Iron Horse!”
Suddenly, a uniform voice rang out from the hundreds of small windows on the 2nd floor of the War Temple.
These were the divine spell of war used by the war priests.
A number of gold-armored knights appeared out of thin air in front of the guards of War Temple. Beneath them was silver-gray warhorses, which looked like it was made of iron.
These knights emitted an aura similar to that of a level 5 troop class.
However, there were nearly a thousand of them.
Each War Temple priest cast a divine spell of war and summoned three golden-armored knights.
These knights were silent as they charged toward Kant’s army. They looked like they were charging, but their speed was only equivalent to an ordinary person’s jogging speed.
However, their silent aura was very intimidating.
Kant did not send his knights to deal with these golden weapons and iron horses. Instead, he gave an order, “Mages, use Nature Summon!”
Five hundred mages immediately accepted the order. In just a moment, 2,500 golems appeared in front of Rhodok Segeants.
Summoning versus summoning, they were evenly matched.
They all looked tough, strong, and slow.
Kant looked at the war priests hiding on the second floor of the guard hall of War Temple and continued to give orders, “Rhodok Sharpshooters, target the war priests on the second floor of the guard hall of War Temple. Fire!”
The range of the war priest was only 150 meters. They could not cast a divine spell on Kant’s army, which was more than two hundred meters away. However, Rhodok Sharpshooters, who had a range of three hundred meters, could kill them.
Pu, Pu, Pu!
Rhodok Sharpshooters were all excellent crossbow masters. Their accuracy exceptionally good.
At this moment, the war priests were watching the battle from a small window. They did not expect that Kant’s army would have many terrifying crossbow masters with attack range of more than 200 meters. They did not put up any defense at all.
In just one round of shooting, the war priests suffered heavy casualties.
Out of 300 war priests, more than 200 were killed.
No matter how strong the war priests were, the dead war priests were not worth mentioning.
The Golden Spear Iron Horses that the war priests summoned was much stronger than the golems.
This was because they were enveloped by the red light, which greatly increased their combat power. The Golden Spear Iron Horses that they summoned was even stronger.
However, in terms of numbers, the number of Golden Spear Iron Horses was much less than that of the golems.
A Golden Spear Iron Horse could split two or three golems apart, and its body would also be smashed into pieces by the other golems.
These summoned creatures would disappear as soon as they ‘died’.
As a result, the number of Golden Spear Iron Horses and golems became fewer and fewer, but there were no corpses of them on the ground.
When only the summoned creatures were decreased to a single digit number in the middle of the square, Kant gave another order, “All troops advance, Ravenstern Rangers, pay attention to the war priests on the opposite side. If anyone shows up, immediately shoot them!”
Kant’s army slowly advanced. The guards of the War Temple on the opposite side did not wait for the support of their own priests’ spells. They all roared in unison, “Kill, for the honor of God of War, Edmund!”
Following that, they advanced in unison towards Kant’s army.
Kant waited until the distance between the two armies was 50 meters before he gave another order:
“Rhodok Sharpshooters, the target is the guards of War Temple on the opposite side!”
“Vaegir Marksmen, fire in unison, the target is the guards as well!”
Rhodok Sharpshooters who used siege crossbow were too terrifying compared to the infantrymen of this world.
Even a siege crossbow could penetrate a tower shield within 50 meters, let alone the round shield of the guards of War Temple? Rhodok Sharpshooters shot down more than 200 guards of War Temple in one round.
The round shield was not a tower shield. It could not completely cover the bodies of the War Temple’s guards. Hence, when being attacked by the arrows from Vaegir Marksmen, they suffered heavy casualties. More than 100 of them died.
The reason for this was naturally because the Vaegir Marksmen shot out very dense arrows.
After a round of rain of arrows, one-third of the guards of War Temple died. However, their morale did not decrease at all. When they saw that the archers of their opponents were terrifying, they took advantage of the time when the archers were reloading to speed up their advance. Kant also had a hint of admiration for such an army.
Admiration was one thing, but since they were enemies, then let them be the best enemies — dead enemies!
When the two armies were ten meters away from each other, another wave of arrow rain took away more than 400 guards of War Temple.
Even though there were only around 200 soldiers left, they still fearlessly advanced towards Kant’s army.
“Ravenstern Rangers, send these respectable opponents to the afterlife!”
The 350 Ravenstern Rangers fired a round of shots, killing all the guards of War Temple.
After more than 40 were killed by the Ravenstern Rangers, the remaining 60 war priests didn’t take the opportunity to show themselves.
Hiding behind the wall, they didn’t understand the ever-changing situation on the battlefield.
“Very good!”
“Ravenstern Rangers, continue to keep an eye on those war priests! 300 Rhodok Sergeants, step out!”
“Every 150 Rhodok Sergeants will be responsible for one siege log. You guys use two siege logs and blast open the gate of War Temple!”
Kant ordered methodically.
Other than Nature Summon, he did not use the strength of the mages.
He did not forget that his system quest required him to capture the God of War.
The God of War had become a god 7,000 years ago. He did not know how powerful it was.
It was better to reserve some power.
The power of the mages was not like that of the warriors. Their spells were limited to a certain number of times per day.
Boom!
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion reverberated throughout the War Temple.
After the remaining 60 war priests showed up without fear of death, 30 of them were killed by the Ravenstern Rangers. The rest refused to show up no matter what.
Behind the guard hall of War Temple, 1,000 knights were already ready to attack.
As soon as Kant and the others broke through the city gate and entered the guard hall of the War Temple, they immediately launched an attack. At this time, they had shortened the distance to launch an attack because of the red light.
This time, they would launch an intensive, or suicidal attack. As much as possible, they would exhaust Kant’s army in the passage on the first floor of the guard hall of the War Temple, which was only 10 meters wide.
For the god they believed in, they were not afraid to die.
