Chapter 798 - Killer Thorn (I)



Chapter 798: Killer Thorn (I)

The army of sharp knives led by Long Haochen had only about 14,000 men. It was because he only brought the professionals of the two legions and not the ordinary soldiers.

The composition of the first and second legions of the Union was the same, which were made up of four thousand soldiers, a thousand knights, five hundred assassins, wizards, summoners, and priests. Each legion, together with more than 40,000 soldiers of various arms, formed two complete legions of 50,000 each.

The purpose of this army was to fight deep into the Devil’s clan, so, a mere ordinary soldier wouldn’t suffice. And it would greatly affect the speed of the whole team. Therefore, the real participants in this operation were only more than 14,000 professionals from all the six temples. These professionals were all equipped with mounts, no matter what occupation they were.

There were not many wizards, summoners, and priests, but after all, they were still professionals, their physical qualities were far beyond ordinary people, and they could ride with a little practice.

Since this was the first legion to be formed after the founding of the New Union, all the elites from the six temples were chosen. Among them were some members of the Brilliant Angel Knight group that Long Haochen had seen before.

The soldiers were all above the fourth level, and the strong men of the other five temples were all above the sixth level. Although the total was only about 10,000 and the soldiers still accounted for most of them, these people were all the elites of the six temples.

As night fell, the army came out from behind Yu Longguan, then made a circle and slowly approached the camp of the Devil’s army from the south.

The role of the strong men in the war was fully revealed at this time. More than 14,000 people, all riding on mounts, occupying a huge area. However, Long Haochen alone, by virtue of his strong spiritual strength, covered all these people. No probe magic could detect any movement under the interference of his mental power. Only the caster of the exploratory magic could surpass Long Haochen in terms of mental strength.

Xiao Huo followed Long Haochen next to him, he also rode on a tall horse, and Long Haochen rode on the Sacred Unicorn Star King. On the left of Long Haochen was Caier, and behind him was Ya Ting. In order to cover up the full-bodied psychic fluctuations of the Queen of Light Elf, Ya Ting had to wear a magic robe that could cover the elements.

She was not the same as Long Haochen, her own light element was not only pure, but she was also closer to the nature of the spirit body, closer to the light element. Therefore, at any time, her body would emit a soft golden light, which was beyond her own control. Except in an environment where there was no light element at all, Ya Ting would be an everlasting luminous body.

The rest of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group were also there, but each of them had an Eternal Hero around them.

There was no doubt that the vision was in direct proportion to the practice level. Those who choose the members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group as inheritors were all Eternal Heroes above level nine of rank five.

At this time, the happiest was Lin Xin. It was because beside him, there was a valiant female knight riding a rose unicorn.

When the first and second Federate Legions were established, Li Xin was sent by the Knight Temple. When the two legions went to the front this time, she therefore came. Li Xin was only about 30 years old this year, and she looked even more like she was still in her twenties. Therefore she was also a popular choice among Eternal Heroes, and she was also chosen by a female knight. At this time, he walked side by side with her, and from time to time he talked and laughed with Li Xin. If he hadn’t known in advance, he would never have guessed that she was a knight of the undead.

After the return of the Eternal Heroes, Long Haochen admired these ancestors more and more. All the concerns of the federal parliament did not arise. As the Eternal Heroes proposed to pass on their unique skills, they selected inheritors in the six temples, which instantly narrowed the distance between the six temples. Coupled with their strong strength, they were scattered in the other five temples. Not only could the disciples be selected after the unified deployment of manpower in the six temples, but also all the high level rank officers of the six temples welcomed and regarded these heros as honored guests.

No temple could find nine strong men above level nine of rank three. Having these ancestors in charge was a great relief. The Eternal Heroes were also perfectly integrated into the system of the Temple Federation.

“Caier.” Shu Yongxiao talked to Caier who was standing next to her.

“Sister Shu.” Caier looked at her with a smile. In comparison, Caier was not as restrained and respectful as Long Haochen in front of these ancestors. She was more natural. Shu Yongxiao was a beautiful woman, except for the color of her eyes and the smell of her body. Although the power of purification in Caier’s body surged from time to time because of the smell of the undead around her, her ability to control herself was now quite strong after the great improvement back in the black and red world. Xiao Huo taught Long Haochen that kind of control ability, the domain for me. Shu Yongxiao had just taught her. She was better at attacking than Long Haochen.

“When the battle begins, you will follow me and be my shadow. I don’t need you to fight, you just have to pay attention to my movements.” Shu Yongxiao spoke to Caier in such a gentle voice that even the other Eternal Heroes were not used to it. As they knew the first master of the Assassin Temple very well, they understood that Shu Yongxiao liked Caier very much.

“All right.” Caier agreed immediately and readily. Of course, she could feel Shu Yongxiao’s love for herself, and she also liked this ancestor, Sister Shu. Although she had only been studying from her for seven or eight days, Shu Yongxiao had taught her a lot of useful things, which further enhanced the combat effectiveness of Caier.

As it was getting closer and closer to the Devil’s camp, Long Haochen raised his hand and signaled the whole army to stop.

“Give the order, all dismount, and leave five hundred soldiers here to guard the horses. The rest of you stay in formation and come along with me.” Worthy of being professionals, Long Haochen’s order was quickly spread to the whole army. Except for knights, all the other professions got off their horses quietly, and the horses stayed in place without making any superfluous sound. After all, with the exception of knights, none of the other professions were good at horseback riding. Horses were just for them to ride, and walking was more familiar to them when they really fight.

Two thousand knights were in front, priests were behind them, and wizards and summoners were further back. The left, right and back directions were all surrounded by soldiers. The assassin wandered around them. They kept the formation intact and moved forward slowly.

Long Haochen deliberately left Han Yu behind, not to guard the horses, but to interfere with the detection magic of the Devils. He did it to not expose these horses and the remaining soldiers. At the same time, having Han Yu there could also avoid accidents.

The army of Devils stationed outside Yu Longguan was more than 200,000 in total all year round, which reached as much as one million at one time during the holy war five years ago. Just because of the harsh environment here, only high-order Devils were left to fight, and it was difficult for low-level Devils to survive here.

Therefore, the Devil garrison outside Yu Longguan could be said to be the strongest of all six major fortresses. They were all Devils of the fourth level or above.

This showed how powerful the Devil’s clan was. There were 204,000 strong soldiers in total, which would take the whole Temple Federation to add up to such a number. That was an important reason why the Temple Federation had always been afraid of fighting the Devils head-on.

However, with the participation of Eternal Heroes, the Temple Federation was not inferior to the Devil’s clan in terms of high-level strength, especially since this time it was led by the top strong people such as Long Haochen. Only then did they have the confidence to target more than 200,000 of the magic army with more than 10,000 people.

It was getting closer and closer to the garrison of the Devil, and from a distance, the camp of Devil’s army could be seen.

They could not continue to approach, although the weather was cold at Yu Longguan, the visibility was very poor at night, but if they were to continue to move forward, the watchtower of the Devil would be able to see their approaching with the naked eye.

Long Haochen said, “Stop moving forward and tell all to get ready for battle. Lin Xin.”

“Boss.” Lin Xin walked quickly to Long Haochen.

Long Haochen asked, “With the overall strength of our wizards, how much closer do we need to give a full play of combat?”

Lin Xin immediately replied, “We are still about eight miles away from the Devil’s clan. It takes at least three miles for the wizard’s range magic to work. If you want to have the maximum killing effect, we have to be as close to one mile away.”

Long Haochen nodded and said, “Okay, I see. Everybody comes here.”

The Light Dawn Demon Hunter group was the commander of the legion of the sharp knives, who were in charge of the army of different professions according to their occupations. They all quickly came to Long Haochen and gathered around. A total of 18 Eternal Heroes also gathered together.

Long Haochen said with a deep voice, “The enemy has more than 200,000 members. According to the news of the investigation by Yu longguan, there is only one Devil god stationed within the enemy’s camp now, which is Bu Song, the 20th Devil god. If he can enter the top 20, his practice level must not be low, and his Devil pillar is also here. There were originally three Devil gods that guards here. According to our informant, except Bu Song, the other two have been transferred back to the Devil’s capital.”

The Eternal Heroes did not participate in any of the discussions about strategy. As early as when they came to Yu Longguan, Shu Yongxiao and Xiao Huo stated that they would not give any command opinions in the war with the Devils. They would completely obey the orders, and would just focus on fighting.

There was no doubt that their decision was the wisest, because after all, they had been asleep for thousands of years and did not understand the outside world. The current war between humans and Devils certainly could not be in the way they did thousands of years ago. Moreover, their were their ancestors that if they really wanted to participate in the discussion, who dared not to listen to them?
