Chapter 1027 279: Decisive Battle on the Snowfield, Kael Who Weaves Death, the Restless Domain (10K)
After all, he was a student taught by our own Lord.
In Dan's understanding, Kael was an almost omnipotent presence in the field of mysticism.
First a knight with implanted armor, then a war mage; this set of progression showcased his outstanding talent to the fullest.
As a student of the Lord, Dan naturally recognized him for this.
"Then it's up to you, pay attention to safety, and... hurry, we need to support the other teams, this Ice Knight gives me a bad feeling."
Anderson nodded.
He cast several layers of defensive magic on himself, then put on a gas mask before approaching one of the Ice Knights.
Behind him, the "Hand of War" floated slowly in mid-air, with small magic tools alternating in use under its cooperation.
About ten minutes passed, and Anderson's forehead was becoming sweatier. After leaving that Ice Knight, he quickly approached the others, and before even getting close, the Hand of War had already lifted their skulls.
One, two, three...
When everyone thought Anderson had gone mad, he took off his gas mask, quickly ran to Dan's side, and said with a somewhat dazed look:
"There's a big problem!"
Dan frowned and asked, "What's the situation?"
"These guys... the exterior of these Ice Knights is just a facade, under the facade, they have been completely eroded...
Except for a few, most of them are dead, able to move only because they are petitions."
Dan's pupils shrank, and he shouted loudly: "Not good, full preparation, return to support Titan City, the chosen ones never intended to attack Titan City with the assembled prayer army!"
Dan broke out in cold sweat.
Such a venomous, insane plan.
Do these chosen ones really deserve to be active on the continent under the name of the chosen ones?
In an instant, a stream of information flashed through Dan's mind.
On the road where the horse galloped towards Titan City, he had figured out the other side's operation.
Originally, according to the results obtained by the infiltrator army, this expeditionary crusade composed mainly of God of Ice Church members had about 1200 prayer army members.
Such a prayer army moves quickly and ensures that the chosen have a rather good combat capability under their blessing, making it a decent first-strike configuration.
But now the situation has changed.
He originally thought the prayer army of about 1200 people was the greatest threat, never expecting the chosen ones of the God of Ice Church to be this insane.
Because it's highly probable that they directly turned the entire expeditionary crusade into part of the prayer army.
More frighteningly, according to the timing, these Ice Knights didn't complete the transformation during the battle (this information came from Anderson's original words on the road) but began the transformation subtly before entering the Duchy of Yngilance, waiting to erupt completely.
In other words, what they initially thought was at most an invasive conflict was actually a well-prepared murder plan.
The Ice Knights might not even have known what was going on at first and completed the transformation into petitioners in a half-sleep state.
Everyone involved in this battle was just a pawn, and also expendable, existing solely to ensure that a group of people, led by the chosen ones, could quickly approach Titan City for their own plan.
If nothing goes wrong, this plan is probably to...
Execute a decapitation mission!
No one mattered, even if the original prayer army under the chosen ones was directly surrounded; sacrificing them didn't matter, as long as they ensured that a group of Ice Knights or even ordinary knights could approach the Lord unhindered, it was enough.
Just as he thought this, whipping his horse to run faster and faster, a light shone directly in the distant sky.
Vaguely, Dan saw thousands of figures, like ants, soaring into the sky, and almost in a breath, a terrifying pressure came from above.
The horse under Dan seemed frightened, lying flat on the ground, unwilling to stand up no matter how Dan whipped it.
"Everyone, let the Gluttonous Slime enter sprint mode."
Dan himself was not feeling well, for he could distinctly feel that at the moment the sky-piercing beam appeared in the distance, it felt like a heavy stone was placed on his heart.
The stone weighed him down until he could hardly breathe, yet he stubbornly tried to stand, rushing towards the distance.
There lay the lord he swore allegiance to; as a knight, he at least wished to stand before Kael.
But...
No sooner had the Gluttonous Slime entered sprint mode than it seemed to lose all life. After only a few steps, Dan, who had been barely forcing his legs to run fast, also half-kneeled on the ground.
He could feel that the Gluttonous Slime he was symbiotic with had fallen into a coma, completely unable to control its power.
And he himself felt like he was suffocating; any attempt to move was met with increasing mental impact until it completely crushed him.
In the instant before he lost consciousness, a scene he once saw in the Dungeon of the Embers of the Empire flashed in Dan's mind.
Ah, he remembered!
Back then, the Lord never gave the petitioners' legion a chance to get close.
Not directly destroying the petitioners' legion with a doomsday bomb tainted with Evil God's Flesh, or using the power of the Prince of Lies, Shirek, to divide them from the chosen ones, or having Teacher White in one of the chosen states manipulate the petitioners' legion of the Earth Mother God Church to fight among themselves...
Strictly speaking, they never fought the petitioners head-on from the start, always using various intelligence advantages to first divide the petitioners or the chosen ones.
Later on...
Later on, when the Lord had already initiated Divine Descent, there was even less opportunity for such encounters.
"What would it be like to fight the petitioners' legion with only one's own power?"
They seemed to have never seriously thought about this question.
This thought flashed through Dan's mind before he collapsed to the ground.
