Sometimes when two armies are fighting, if the numerical difference is too large, it will be difficult to restore the situation with some small strategies.
Just like now.
The Nanjun Crusaders have thousands of cavalry, but the Orcs only have a few hundred people.
In this case, even if the lord of the forest comes forward and kills hundreds of knights, even one orc can resist four or five knights.
Even if Harudo, Hal, Elder Huck, and Eve are equal to ten.
Even if He Wen and Shalia are secret combat forces.
But the situation still won't change much.
When the Crusaders' cavalry rushed towards them, the orcs fought back bravely. If their strength had not been strengthened by He Wen's food, they would all have been killed in the first wave of the knights' charge.
"Retreat!! Retreat to the village!!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Harudo quickly commanded the beasts to retreat, but it was not easy to escape from the highly mobile knights. Soon, several beasts were pierced by the knight's spear the moment they turned around and wanted to retreat.
He Wen felt his head buzzing, as if some force was pulling on his body.
Suppressing this feeling, he also participated in the action of covering the retreat of the orcs.
But what about after that.
"Professor, I, what should we do."
The usually calm elder Huck was also confused at this time. He did not expect that humans would send such a large army, let alone a terrifying existence like Eric Darren in the army.
He was at a loss for a moment.
"I'll think of a way to get everyone to retreat to the village first." He Wen's voice rang in Huck's ears, and his hand gently rested on the elder's shoulder, as if he wanted to convey some strength.
Then, he rushed into the raging battlefield without hesitation, single-handedly covering the retreat of the Orcs, while also facing the attacks of the knights who tried to break out.
"Ha!!!" A knight roared loudly and stabbed He Wen with his spear. However, He Wen used a finger to move at an imperceptible speed, and several silver needles shuttled through the gaps in the knight's body like thin threads. In just an instant, the knight's body began to tremble violently, and finally he fell down from his horse weakly and fell into a pool of blood.
He Wen quickly absorbed the knight's soul while he was still breathing, and the Lord of the Forest was also providing help.
It kept appearing on the path of the knights' charge, and every time it appeared, it would take away the lives of more than ten knights.
But the Nanjun Crusaders were not some ragtag army. They were well-trained and quickly grasped the pattern of the appearance of the Lord of the Forest. The subsequent attacks of the Lord of the Forest had little effect. Instead, the knights were caught in her claws. There were many wounds left on it.
However, precisely because of the restraints of He Wen and the Lord of the Forest, the orcs who had not yet died in the battle basically withdrew to the village.
He Wen was covered in blood and stood alone at the entrance of the village.
That was not his blood, but the blood of those knights.
Nine blood-red silver needles floated around him, and at this time, the system's voice also sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host, successfully upgraded the level]
[Current demon level: Superior Hous level demon]
[Acquire new demon skills: group harvesting, soul feast]
[Group harvesting allows the host to harvest the souls of creatures that have just died three days ago on a large scale, while soul feast allows the host to immediately spread the harvested souls onto the surrounding corpses. The power of the magic soldiers created in this way will It is weaker than the demon soldiers injected with the soul alone, but it is also capable of growth, requires less demon points, and is extremely cost-effective]
Before He Wen could feel the new power in detail, the ground began to tremble.
The army of knights, led by Eric Darren, was already close to their eyes.
Eric, who was holding the war hammer in his hand, looked at He Wen with a disdainful sneer.
"What are you?"
"I'm a doctor."
He Wen lightly patted the dust on his robe, then looked at Eric and said.
"doctor?"
Eric was a little confused.
"What the hell is a doctor?"
He Wen sighed. He remembered the lines of the second male lead in a certain novel. Although he didn't wear glasses, he still said those words.
"The wisdom of mortals."
"You are not mentioned in the information about the Red Dragon Knights, but you are with Princess Eve. I guess you are the fallen holy priest, He Wen?"
Eric Darren narrowed his eyes and looked at He Wen.
He Wen did not deny it, nodded and said.
"Yes, Lord Lord, thank you for remembering me. Is there room for discussion between us?"
Eric slowly shook his head.
"Please forgive me, Pastor He Wen. I am not looking down on you. It is precisely because I value you enough that there cannot be too many conversations between us. I hope you can understand."
It has to be said that Eric Darren is indeed a nobleman, and his conversation is completely different from Setas.
It not only showed a merciless attitude toward He Wen, but also showed the importance he attached to He Wen.
"Of course, Pastor Hewen, if you can stand aside and let me deal with those beasts first, I think I can take you back to my prison, and then I will give you a chance to talk to me."
In the silence, He Wen sighed deeply, made the same move as Eric, and the two looked at each other in silence. He Wen said: "Please forgive me, Lord Lord." His voice was full of helplessness.
"Please forgive me, Lord."
Eric nodded, expressing his understanding.
"If that's the case, then please die." His voice was cold and ruthless. .
The huge weapon drew a sharp arc in the air. The knights behind him surged out like a tide and pounced on He Wen.
Eric Darren did not choose any one-on-one duel, nor did he choose to take the lead and charge at the forefront.
He knew that although he was extremely powerful, he was by no means a knight charging into battle, but a general in charge of the three armies.
The orcs on the city wall and at the entrance of the village were horrified when they saw this scene.
Eve had already rushed out of the city wall desperately, and Hal also found an opportunity to prepare a surprise attack from behind the Knights.
Only Shalia, who had been floating in the air observing the battle, seemed to feel something.
"I see, is this the power of demons? Indeed, even the demons cannot match this kind of power."
She put away the staff in her hand, gave up her original idea of taking action, and just quietly looked at the congratulations on the battlefield below facing thousands of troops.
He Wen also closed his eyes. He no longer looked at the menacing knights, nor did he care about the trembling earth.
The Lord of the Forest had told him that he had tried his best and that in the subsequent battles, he would focus on protecting the mine. He Wen did not respond to it, but mobilized his own demonic power.
When he opened his eyes again, he almost felt all the dead souls in the entire forest that had not yet dissipated.
Those knights who died in battle, the orcs who died in battle, the beasts that were killed by the knights as entertainment, and the lives that were eliminated due to the laws of nature.
As long as they died within three days, He Wen seemed to be able to feel their presence.
So he slowly raised his hand.
