Chapter 457 Silver Armored Man
The arrow was so powerful that the professional who shot it must have had a strength of more than 50 points. The enchanted crossbow he used was also very sophisticated, a rare high-level enchanted bow on the market. If the force field shield had not been activated in advance, even if he was wearing enchanted armor, Richard might have lost his life.
After all, the arrow was aimed at Richard's head, and his head was not as hard as stone.
Relying on the force field shield to block the arrow, Richard's face was gloomy. Almost without thinking, he took out the flame staff from the bottle of starlight, and instantly gathered a fireball in his hand. He pointed in the direction of the arrow and quickly released the fireball spell, hitting the enemy fiercely.
Richard's mental power was extremely strong. He awakened the two talents of the flame body and powerful spellcasting. With the blessing of the flame staff, even if he released the standard three-ring magic fireball spell, the power was also extremely amazing. It only takes a quarter of the magic power to increase the lethality of the spell by 3.5 times.
The fireball hit the jungle fiercely, making a violent explosion. In the center of the explosion, a figure appeared vaguely. Before Richard could make a move, Sylph immediately aimed at the opponent and shot the arrow in her hand at him.
But the man moved very quickly, with an agility of more than 20 points. He actually avoided Sylph's arrow and raised his hand to shoot a metal projectile at Sylph.
Seeing the metal projectile coming, Sylph used the arrow technique to shoot the second enchanted arrow. The arrow head accurately hit the metal projectile. A loud bang exploded instantly, and a violent red light suddenly surged. With the cover of the red light, the man actually retreated instead of advancing, and rushed towards Richard fiercely. It seemed that he wanted to kill Richard, a very threatening magician, first, and then deal with Sylph, a difficult enemy.
Although the fight was short, Richard had already discovered that his opponent was a legendary professional. But judging from the basic attributes, he is probably a legendary second-level warrior, a few points stronger than William. He couldn't understand why a legendary enemy appeared in an ordinary battle?
The Harland army was very careful when entering the Red Moon plane, and was also extremely cautious when handing over the territory to the Holy Glorious Empire. It was almost impossible for the news to leak out. Could it be that there was an enemy in the Red Moon Church who could predict the spell?
Although the Harland Territory Mage Association has grown and developed, there are not many prophecy spells passed down. The accuracy of a small amount of astrology magic is not very high, and there are almost no magicians who study it carefully. After all, prophecy magic has always been easy to learn but difficult to master. The status of a prophecy mage is also higher than that of an alchemist or a pharmacist.
Richard suppressed his doubts, with a solemn look in his eyes. He looked up and saw a warrior wrapped in silver-gray armor rushing over quickly, with a two-handed giant sword shining with cold light, fiercely slashing at Richard's head.
Richard's insight was very high. With just one glance, he found that the armor on this person's body was made of a special super-magic alloy. This alloy used a lot of mithril, which not only had outstanding magic defense effects, but also had an extremely hard material.
The enemy slashed in mid-air with amazing force. Richard estimated the strength of both sides and naturally would not resist. Although he was a seventh-level warrior with a strength of more than 28 points, he would die if he was not careful in close combat with the enemy. Richard moved his feet lightly and instantly released the fourth-ring spell of teleportation.
In an instant, Richard's body turned into a residual image and appeared thirty meters away. Although Richard avoided the attack, the guards around him were not so lucky. Although the guards were already second-level warriors and raised the force field shield, they were still cut off by the enemy with a knife, and their bodies were split in two.
This person swung a sword back and slashed at the fourth-level knight Saber.
Seeing that the enemy was difficult to deal with, Saber hurriedly held the sword with both hands to resist. Although it was a casual attack, the silver-armored man was extremely powerful. The weapons of both sides collided violently. Saber's hands were immediately numb, and the enchanted long sword slipped out of his hands instantly. The tendons of both hands could not help but tremble.
Just as the silver-armored man was about to make another effort to kill Saber, Sylph suddenly released a magic arrow, then rushed over at a high speed and personally stopped the silver-armored man.
In front of the two armies, the impact of the legendary knight was a few points stronger than that of the legendary magician. Especially in the encounter, Richard did not have time to release the starlight bomb before he was broken into the formation by the enemy. In order to avoid serious casualties, at this moment, Sylph could only rely on the enemy.
Just after blocking the silver-armored man, dozens of heavy armored warriors came out in groups of three or five, forming an arc to outflank Harland's soldiers, and they also laughed rumblingly, and it seemed that they were very confident in this battle.
At this moment, Richard waved his flaming staff again, and three burning fireballs suddenly appeared out of thin air. The fireballs flew at a very fast speed, piercing through the jungle in the blink of an eye and shooting into the heavy armored warrior formation.
At such a close distance, the heavy armored warriors had no time to adjust their formation to avoid, and could only rely on the magic props on their bodies to block.
Boom, boom, three explosions.
There were violent explosions in the heavy armored warrior formation. Although these heavy armored warriors were not weak, more than ten people were killed and injured in an instant.
"Be careful, there are powerful magicians among the enemies, don't run around, and don't disperse. Pay attention to defense and raise shields on the spot, seize the opportunity to advance and charge."
The leader of the heavy armored warriors shouted and issued a series of orders.
The language used by this person was the standard official language of the Holy Glorious Empire, which Richard and others could understand.
According to the intelligence sent by the Holy Glorious Empire, Richard knew that there were three mainstream languages in the Red Moon Plane. The official language of the Holy Glorious Empire was the one with the largest application range. Almost everyone in the Red Moon Plane could use it. After all, the Dawn Church had been operating the Red Moon Plane for more than 3,000 years, and had completely controlled this plane for more than 2,500 years.
Three thousand years of operation almost made the customs and culture of this plane exactly the same as that of the Dawn Plane.
The remaining two languages were indigenous languages of the Red Moon Plane, mainly used in the southern continent.
Before this person finished speaking, Richard pointed his hand, and a fire dragon suddenly hit this person.
This was the fourth-ring magic fire dragon technique.
With all kinds of blessings, the lethality of this spell has exceeded the nine-ring magic.
The speed of the fire dragon was very fast, and the heavy armored warrior leader had no time to react. Seeing the attack coming, he could only raise his arm shield, kneel on one knee, and half squat and half lie down. He raised the giant sword in his hand, and used the broad sword body to help the arm shield to protect his head and face, while urging his whole body's fighting spirit to quickly build a layer of defense around him.
The heavy-armored warrior leader was terrified, and the fire dragon crashed in, and the blazing flames swept over, wrapping him up completely, breaking through the fighting spirit shield in a very short time.
After two or three minutes, the magic flame gradually extinguished, and before the heavy-armored warrior leader could breathe a sigh of relief, another fireball hit the arm shield.
In an instant, the heavy-armored warrior leader felt a fierce stinging pain all over his body. His body seemed to be roasted, and he lost his life in a short while.
The heavy-armored warrior leader was not a weakling. In the Dawn Plane, his strength was no less than that of an eighth-level warrior, but he took a fourth-ring magic and a third-ring magic from Richard and lost his life.
This shows the lethality of Richard's magic power.
Richard killed the leader of the heavy armored warriors, and then released a six-ring magic chain lightning. More than a dozen lightning bolts poured down, easily taking the lives of more than a dozen soldiers.
At the same time, Saber also commanded Harland to lead the scouts to start encircling and annihilating the remaining dozen people.
Finding that the situation was under control, Richard turned around and prepared to help Sylph deal with the silver-armored man.
Although the silver-armored man was extremely powerful and a little stronger than the legendary warrior, after all, he did not show the power of spells, and was still a little behind Sylph.
Sylph's physical attributes such as strength and agility were not inferior to those of the silver-armored man. Her combat experience and combat skills could also compete with the silver-armored man. Combined with the three magics of magic arrows, the eye of the arcane magic, and time stop, the silver-armored man was already in danger and fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing that the battlefield was defeated in a flash, the silver-armored man immediately decided to retreat and escape. He was just about to escape, and Richard's three-ring magic immobilization technique had already aimed at him.
In a trance, the silver-armored man suddenly felt groggy.
At this critical moment, Sylph's magic arrow drew an arc and shot fiercely at the face of the silver-armored man.
Seeing that he was about to die, the silver-armored man struggled hard, raised his arm in front of his face, and blocked the fatal arrow.
The silver-armored man is a legendary professional with very high magic resistance. Even if Li Cha awakened the powerful spellcasting talent, a three-ring immobilization spell could not restrict this person.
At the critical moment, the silver-armored man broke free from the restraints and did not die.
The alloy arrow used by Sylph was also at the seventh level, extremely sharp and tough.
In an instant, the arrow pierced the arm armor and pierced into the silver-armored man's arm. The thick arrow directly cut off the tendons of the silver-armored man's hand, and even the arm bones were seriously injured.
Sylph shot the silver-armored man's arm with an arrow, and the fireballs released by Richard continuously hit this person.
At this point in the fight, the silver-armored man had mistaken Richard for a legendary magician, and of course he was unwilling to take the fireball spell released by Richard.
His figure kept changing, like a shadow, and no one present except Sylph could keep up with this shadow.
After the agility exceeded 20 points, the explosive power was extremely amazing. It only took one second to cross a distance of hundreds of meters, and the enemy's movements could not be seen clearly with the naked eye.
Seeing that the enemy was bursting out with all his strength and wanted to escape, this time Richard cast spells continuously, and the landing points of the four fireballs formed a square, and the explosion radius was just centered on the silver-armored man.
In a breath, the whole area was ignited with raging fire, and magic flames were everywhere. In an instant, the silver-armored man was like fire all over his body, and turned into a fire man.
As a legendary professional, the silver-armored man's character was extremely tough. He tried his best to stimulate his fighting spirit and release his defensive barrier to resist the baptism of waves of fire.
It lasted for about two or three minutes before the magic flames gradually extinguished. At this moment, the silver-armored man's fighting spirit was almost exhausted.
Although he was at the end of his strength, the silver-armored man still held his head high. He leaned on the heavy sword with both hands, and his eyes were still bright, as if he was about to launch the final attack. Before the silver-armored man launched, Sylph had already released a fatal arrow.
She still added the magic arrow spell to this arrow, and the arrow exploded in front of the silver-armored man's chest. The powerful impact threw the silver-armored man high up. The light on the silver-armored man's armor flickered in vain for a few times, and finally went out completely.
Richard opened his eyes wide and saw the silver-armored man fall heavily to the ground. The helmet fell off the armor, revealing the original face of the silver-armored man.
The natives of the Red Moon Plane, probably because of the food, have purple and red skin, and are considered red people.
But the face of the silver-armored man was burned beyond recognition by the flames, and turned black and red. His rough face could no longer be seen, and his lush hair and beard were all turned into ashes in the flames.
After killing this difficult enemy, Richard also lost his determination to continue the investigation. Being in a different plane, the enemy situation was unclear. After cleaning up the battlefield, Richard decisively chose to withdraw his troops.
According to Saber's statistics, in this battle, Harland killed six soldiers, injured nine people, and killed 43 enemies, including the legendary professional silver-armored man, the eighth-level professional heavy-armored warrior leader, and the middle-level professional among the heavy-armored warriors, adding up to four people.
Richard ordered the soldiers to strip off the weapons and armor of the heavy-armored warriors and put them all into the Starlight Bottle. The bodies of the main officers of the heavy-armored warriors were also taken back to the Biers Castle by the soldiers.
Although the garrison of the Holy Glorious Empire had withdrawn to the rear, people who contacted were still left in Biers Castle.
This person is called Youde, and he is a native red man of the Red Moon Plane.
Although the Holy Glorious Empire has not been operating the Red Moon Plane as long as the Dawn Church, it has been more than 500 years. Among the 100,000 troops stationed in the Red Moon Plane, more than half are natives.
Because of the colonization of the Dawn Church, the natives of the Central Continent basically speak the common language of the Holy Glorious Empire, and it is easy to communicate.
Richard found Youde and asked him to identify the bodies brought back one by one.
Although Youde did not recognize the identity of the silver-armored man, he recognized the leader of the heavy-armored warriors and two mid-level professional officers.
"This person is nicknamed Wild Boar, named Edkin, the commander of Pangle Castle, and an eighth-level warrior."
The number of knights in the Red Moon Plane is very rare. This plane has no elves, dragons, and dwarves, nor does it have complicated super-magic bloodlines. The small amount of knight bloodlines mainly come from the intermarriage between the Dawn Plane and the natives.
Especially for the more than 500 years since the Dawn Church invited the Holy Light Empire to enter the Red Moon Plane, many noble colonists who entered the Red Moon Plane could not control their lower bodies, bringing knight blood to this plane.
Pangle Castle is 120 kilometers away from Biers Castle and is the core stronghold of the Red Moon Church. According to the initial intelligence obtained by Richard, the garrison in this castle is as high as 6,000 people.
After hearing Yude's confirmation, Richard thought to himself: "As a commander of 6,000 people, I don't know why Edkin would participate in the raid. As for the higher-ranking silver-armored people, I'm afraid they all have a very important position in the Red Moon Church?"
