Maru also discovered these people. Although these people were dressed as mercenaries, their movements were very orderly and they had good coordination with each other. At a glance, one could see that they weren't ordinary mercenaries, but rather soldiers who had received formal military training.
Zhao Hai also saw these mercenaries. This time, there were a few hundred mercenaries who had climbed over the wall. When these people entered the courtyard, they didn't immediately attack Zhao Hai's group. Instead, they stood in place and reorganized their troops. Although it only took a little time, this little time allowed them to quickly form a square formation. Then, they attacked Zhao Hai's group.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't worried. There were still a lot of undead around him. Right now, he was only using the humanoid undead. He still hadn't made a move on the beast-shaped undead.
Zhao Hai had already counted the knights who were attacking from Faith Mansion's main gate. There were a total of eighteen of them, and they were all sixth rank knights who had a tacit understanding of each other.
Soon, whether it was Maru or the white-robed bishops, they all discovered that Zhao Hai's undead were too special. They weren't afraid of the Knights of Light's charge at all.
It must be known that the Knights of Light's weapons and armor were all blessed with light magic. In addition, these knights' fighting strength was very strong. Zhao Hai only used less than a hundred undead to withstand the attack of these Knights of Light. This was simply inconceivable.
Knights were different from ordinary warriors. In the minds of many people, knights were a higher rank than warriors. Moreover, knights could be described as nobles among warriors.
An ordinary warrior would at most have a body of leather armor and a weapon. Some of the worse ones would only have a warrior's clothing and a weapon. They couldn't be called a warrior.
However, a knight must first have a mount, then armor, and then a weapon. A warrior couldn't only have one weapon. At the very least, they must have a knight's spear, a tower shield, or a heavy sword. Only then could they be called a knight.
A warrior only needed to take care of himself. Even if his weapon was damaged, he only needed to replace it. The cost would not be too high.
But a Knight, in addition to taking care of himself, would also need to take care of his mount. Their Knight's Spear was a weapon that was easily damaged. Once it was damaged, it would need to be replaced. The price of a Knight's Spear was much more expensive than ordinary weapons. Because of these reasons, in the eyes of ordinary warriors, although Knights were very powerful, they were also a profession that burned money. If one wasn't a noble or a rich person, then there was no way to become a Knight.
Because knights were rich, many knights would have a knight squire. This knight squire would take care of the knight's daily life and take care of the knight's mount. During battle, the knight squire would stay by the knight's side.
A Knight's fighting strength was undoubtedly formidable. This was also related to their mount. The more powerful the mount, the more powerful the Knight's fighting strength. Naturally, the more powerful the mount, the more money one would need to spend to take care of it.
The mounts of these Knights of Light were all level-five magic beasts, unicorns. Unicorns were a type of level-five magic beasts. It was said that unicorns were related to the elves' Guardian Sacred Beast, the level-nine magic beast unicorns. Their fighting strength was very strong, and they could carry a lot of weight. They were very good mounts.
Most of the Radiant Church's Radiant Knights used these unicorns as their mounts. Not only were they powerful, but they also looked very formidable.
If they were ordinary warriors, even a hundred of them wouldn't be a match for eighteen sixth level heavy armored knights. With the help of their horses, the knights could easily tear apart the square formation formed by the warriors. With a few charges, they could kill a hundred warriors.
But this time, the Radiant Knights didn't encounter ordinary warriors. Instead, they encountered a phalanx of undead, which was equivalent to a 7th rank warrior. The Radiant Knights' unstoppable charge had no way to tear apart the phalanx of undead. This was a very rare occurrence.
It was simply too easy for the Radiant Knights to deal with ordinary undead. Their weapons were enchanted with light magic. As long as they touched the undead, they would be able to inflict great damage. But this time, the undead they encountered weren't ordinary undead. The undead they encountered this time weren't afraid of light magic.
Maru stared blankly at all of this. Although what he saw today was something he had seen before, it was nothing more than a battle between the undead and the Radiant Knights. But today's battle was beyond his understanding. The undead and the Radiant Knights were confronting each other head-on. In his opinion, this was unreal.
The surrounding undead were still blocking the attacks of the mercenaries. Zhao Hai and the others were calmly sitting there, watching the battle in front of them as if they were watching a play.
Maru really didn't know what Zhao Hai was thinking. He now suspected that Zhao Hai was a madman. If he wasn't a madman, then who would do such a thing? Maru didn't know if letting such a madman join the League of Black Magicians was the right thing to do.
At this time, Laura looked at the people outside. She turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, it's about time. Don't drag it out for too long. It won't be easy to explain to Grand Duke Evan."
Zhao Hai nodded, then waved his hand. Suddenly, a large number of undead magic beasts appeared in Faith Mansion. These undead had one thing in common, and that was that they were very large. Each undead was two to three Mego in height. Some of them even reached five or six Mego in height. Moreover, their whole bodies were dark green skeletons with spikes on them. At first glance, one could tell that they weren't to be trifled with.
As soon as these undead appeared, the spikes on their bodies fiercely flew out. They were like arrows that were shot straight towards the mercenaries. A large number of the mercenaries were shot down.
After the spikes, the undead magic beasts immediately rushed towards the mercenaries. However, Maru noticed that behind the mercenaries, a large number of humanoid undead appeared. These undead seemed to be assassins. Each and every one of them specialized in assassination. They quietly attacked the mercenaries from behind. Many of the mercenaries didn't even realize that there were people behind them and were killed.
This unforeseen event happened too fast. The mercenaries simply couldn't react in time. More than half of them were killed, and the rest were surrounded by the undead. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to escape.
The undead that dealt with the mercenaries was only a small part. Most of the undead surrounded the Radiant Knights and the white-robed bishops.
Maru didn't know what to say. He didn't think that Zhao Hai would have so many undead. Moreover, the fighting strength of these undead was stronger than the previous one. This time, the Radiant Church would definitely suffer a loss.
The white-robed bishops also realized that the situation wasn't good. They didn't think that Zhao Hai's strength would be this strong. Now, they didn't care about their image. One by one, they began to go all out. They knew that if they didn't go all out, then they would have to stay here today.
At this time, Zhao Hai stood up and motionlessly looked at the five white-robed bishops. He knew that these five white-robed bishops were the ones in charge. Anyone else could run, but these five white-robed bishops couldn't run.
Zhao Hai secretly gave Cai 'er an order. As long as the five white-robed bishops made any movements, Cai' er would immediately make a move. She must make sure that the five white-robed bishops stayed behind.
The reason why Zhao Hai had Cai 'er prepare was because Zhao Hai discovered that one of the white-robed bishops was too calm. When he released the undead magic beasts, the other white-robed bishops' complexion changed. There was only one exception, and that was the white-robed bishop who was talking to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai thought that this white-robed bishop was very scheming.
That white-robed bishop was too calm. His calmness didn't seem to come from his strength. Zhao Hai saw that the white-robed bishop's strength was average. Among the five white-robed bishops, he could only be regarded as average. However, this person was too calm. He was simply fearless.
Such a person would certainly have a trump card. Such a scheming person would certainly leave behind a trump card. Moreover, it would be a trump card that no one knew about. Because of this, Zhao Hai paid special attention to him and had Cai 'er prepare to deal with him at any time.
Laura and the others also raised their spirits. Everyone was looking at the white-robed bishops. They knew that it was impossible for these white-robed bishops to run away.
Maru didn't know, but they knew that they had two 9th rank experts in their hands. Moreover, they were 9th rank experts who could act at any time. With these two 9th rank experts in their hands, even if the other party had an ancient magic tool like a teleportation scroll, they still wouldn't be able to escape.
War was full of accidents, but as long as you were prepared, you could turn all accidents into inevitability. Just like Zhao Hai's group, they were prepared to wait for the enemy to come to their door. If the enemy didn't come, then it would be fine. But as long as they came, then they wouldn't be able to escape.
As the mercenary soldiers fell one by one, there was no longer any suspense on the battlefield. This time, the operation of the Radiant Church and Boris had been a complete failure.
At this time, three shadows suddenly appeared on top of the white-robed bishops' carriages. Before the white-robed bishops could react, three rapiers had already taken their lives.
Although the white-robed bishops had used light magic shields, the shields weren't able to block the attack of the rapiers. In the blink of an eye, the three white-robed bishops had died.
At this time, the white-robed bishop that Zhao Hai had been paying attention to finally had his complexion change. He clenched his teeth and fiercely looked at Zhao Hai. He reached into his chest as if he wanted to touch something. At this time, two vines suddenly stretched out from the ground and directly pierced the chests of the remaining two white-robed bishops. The white-robed bishop who had reached into his chest to take something was blocked by the vines. However, he wasn't able to block the vines and was stabbed to death on the spot. Even as he died, his eyes were still full of disbelief.
