774: Chapter 774: The Formidable War Magic 774: Chapter 774: The Formidable War Magic With the eruption of this force, a golden energy began to spread, growing dimr in color.
But to the discerning eye, it was clear that this power had instantly covered the entire enemy army.
Instantly, the morale of the opposing army began to wane, with so soldiers even starting to retreat.
Had it not been for the Supervision Team at the rear, soone would likely have already attempted to flee.
“It’s a War Priest, damn it.
How could a War Priest appear here?”
Among the troops, so faces turned grim.
After all, these soldiers were dispatched from the western territories of the Empire, and there were indeed a few knowledgeable individuals among them.
The western territories of the Empire were ultimately defending against the Beastn, and they were quite familiar with their foe.
Although they had been almost at peace with the Beastn, skirmishing back and forth across the border as if they were rely play-acting a battle.
But over the years, they had experienced real wars, so both sides understood each other’s tactics quite well, if not perfectly.
They were well aware of what kind of enemy a War Priest was – one of the Beastn’s trump cards.
He could only feel relieved now, relieved that the majority of the enemy forces were Magic Dolls.
You see, the greatest effect of a War Priest’s spell wasn’t when it was cast on the enemy, but when it was cast on their own troops.
Used on their own forces, the effects were not only stronger but also consud less energy.
This side was already a hodgepodge of troops, and now, with the plumting morale, the situation was starting to look bleak.
Just then, another voice sounded: “Strength weakening.”
Many soldiers imdiately felt their muscles sour and their strength diminish slightly.
Of course, while the weakening wasn’t significant, if it affected the entire army, that was a serious problem.
Moreover, so knew that as ti passed and the battle persisted, the effects of this spell would only deepen.
This was the power of War Magic, seemingly not very strong, but in reality, both the persistence and coverage were terrifyingly potent.
Most crucially, War Priest spells could be stacked and were extrely difficult to dispel.
If it were an ordinary Sacrificial Magic, only one could be cast at a ti, otherwise they would conflict with each other.
Only a very few Sacrificial Spells that could work in conjunction with each other could be applied to the sa person simultaneously.
And those spells could be dispelled by the Temple’s priests.
But now it was different; even the Holy Knights could only ensure that they themselves remained unaffected, helpless to assist the others.
“ntal haze.” Another spell was cast, and many soldiers started to feel a noticeable decline in their ntal states.
Especially the Archers, who found it difficult to concentrate, with so even beginning to doze off.
They had been on a forced march all the way here, with no rest upon arrival, and now these issues were erupting.
The combined effect of the three spells was significant.
And with ti, this effect would certainly grow stronger, enough to utterly break them.
At the front, the Cavalry had begun to slow down.
Not by their own volition, but because the spell affected their horses as well.
Even the formation began to disperse, no longer as tight-knit as before.
“Incredible, the range of coverage is much too large,” Qiao Miya exclaid in shock.
I had heard of War Priests before, but it was only after seeing one in action that I understood their true power.
Aleya was rely at the level of an Advanced War Priest, but her performance on the battlefield was utterly different.
With the help of the mystical forces already gathered on the battlefield, a War Priest could push these forces to the limit.
These were all auxiliary spells that didn’t seem very powerful, yet the effect they had on the army was so pronounced.
However, at this mont, Aleya didn’t look good at all; her entire body was trembling, and she could hardly stand straight.
She was drenched in sweat, her back completely soaked through—it was clearly a trendous exertion for her.
After all, casting three continuous spells, each covering over a hundred thousand people, would be a feat beyond the capacity of an ordinary person.
Even with the aid of the battlefield’s forces, it was not sothing that Aleya could bear with ease.
“Quick, bring Aleya back, do not let her co to harm,” Qiao Miya urgently ordered.
But before he had spoken, the Rabbitfolk Guards by his side had already taken action.
Before Aleya could return, the battle in the front had already erupted intensely.
The soldiers were facing the Demon Puppets, and unexpectedly, the troops crumbled upon contact, as if they had hit a reef.
If the strength of the Demon Puppet Army was formidable, the new recruits behind them were not at the sa level.
Yet when the cavalry collided with the ranks of the new recruits, it was still the cavalry that perford worse.
It’s worth noting that almost half of these cavalry were from the Temple’s forces, so how had it co to this?
Soon, they discovered that the issue lay with the War Magic.
Without the presence of high-level dispelling spells, the influence on the warhorses was too severe.
If the cavalry continued their charge at this ti, they would likely all be lost in the front.
The Commander’s face took on an extrely ugly expression, but it was impossible for him to call a halt now.
He knew that ti was not on his side; the longer he delayed, the more pronounced the effects of the spells beca.
The duration of a War Priest’s spells was extrely long, and waiting for the spell’s effects to wear off would, at the very least, require holding out until the next day.
Looking at the fox across the battlefield, the Commander gritted his teeth in frustration.
“Damnit, what is the intelligence departnt even doing, not reporting such a critical matter.”
Who could have imagined that an Advanced Priest could have such a significant impact on a battle of this scale?
Thus, neither side gave up, and the war went on in what seed to be a ssy fashion.
Or rather, only the attacking side seed disorganized, because the defenders never left their positions.
As ti passed, it beca increasingly difficult for the attackers.
Finally, after a loss of twenty thousand n, morale was nearing collapse.
“Retreat, everyone retreat, we’ll continue the attack tomorrow,” the Commander ordered resignedly.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to retreat, but that the soldiers could no longer persevere.
They had already been weakened without rest, having fallen under the sway of three spells in quick succession.
Whether because of the spells’ effects or their own condition, they had reached their limit.
“Let them rest, leave the Demon Puppets at their posts,” Qiao Miya breathed a sigh of relief, having finally repelled the enemy’s first wave of assault.
The Demon Puppets had suffered losses, but the new recruits hadn’t been hit as hard.
The master had said before that these Demon Puppets were defective products, intended to be destroyed after use without causing undue wastage, and the new recruits were sowhat more important.
Furthermore, in the rear, these defective products were still being produced.
