After confirming the type of enemy, the archmage shouted, "It's a death knight. Pay attention. Before the battle, buff yourself with Valor, Rage, or Righteousness."
These three spells could resist the evil attack of the death knight's "Eye of Despair." As for the negative energy of the "Sword of Death," it shouldn't be enough to break through the standard + 5 magic armor on these high-grade warriors.
"Buff your weapon with 'Sword of Glory.'"
He continued to shout.
The death knight's armor was a special kind of magic armor. Its effect was similar to standard magic armor, but the "Protect from Evil" was changed to "Protect from Holy." The magic power of this special magic armor was provided by the death knight's body.
"Bishop Jeremy, when the battle starts, cast 'Glory of Holy Light' on the warriors on the front line. Baron Dick, activate the 'Anti-Evil Circle' effect on your armor. Commander Christopher, you do the same. Break into the enemy formation and cast 'Anti-Evil Circle' or 'Glory of Holy Light.'"
The Glory of Holy Light could blind the undead, and the Anti-Evil Circle could suppress the undead.
Jeremy was the bishop of the Church of Heller, and Commander Christopher was the level-17 harvest knight of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture.
"When fighting the death knights, pay attention to their mounts. The power of the death knights and their horses is very scary. High-grade warriors can't stop them. It's best to kill their horses first to limit their mobility."
The death knights' mounts were undead horses. They were a kind of undead creature created by death magic. They were a bit like ghouls, a mid-grade undead creature.
Not only were these horses very strong, but more importantly, they could communicate with the death knights and provide them with negative energy.
The human professionals automatically shrank their defense circle and prepared for battle.
Under the watchful eyes of the people, a small group of death knights split into two at the north gate of the town and entered the town's streets.
They seemed to be patrolling!
As the Death Knights patrolled the streets, the Ghouls hiding in the dark were chased out one by one, causing chaos along the way.
Under the attack of the death knights, some of the ghouls were driven out of the town, and some were killed by the death knights.
Compared to the death knights, the ghouls were like hooligans in front of a fully armed army.
After the two groups of death knights patrolled the streets for a while, they converged in the central square of the town from the east and west. Intentionally or not, these death knights formed a pincer attack on the human professionals.
Without needing to be commanded, these human professionals quickly changed their formation. The heavy armored warriors split into two and protected the other professionals in the middle.
Just as the human professionals were about to launch an attack, the two groups of death knights bypassed them as if they didn't exist and continued to move forward into the other side of the street to continue their patrol.
The professionals all looked back at the archmage.
The archmage frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I think these Death Knights are still carrying out the orders of the Arcane Tower's owner from a thousand years ago. This town is obviously an accessory of the Arcane Tower. The Death Knights' mission is probably equivalent to the patrol of this town. They will kill undead creatures, but they will not harm humans."
Hearing the Great Wizard's words, the other professionals could not help but look at each other. Police?
Death knights?
The difference in style was too great.
Looking at everyone's reaction, the archmage explained, "In the Arcane Empire, necromancers were not illegal. Most of the Arcane Empire's arcanists studied necromancy. Almost every one of them was a master of necromancy. In the Arcane Empire, arcanists were equivalent to nobles. These arcanists liked to use obedient undead creatures when managing their territories."
Baron Dick asked, "Then what should we do next?"
The archmage said, "Of course, destroy them. They won't attack us in the town, but it's not necessarily the case in the arcane tower."
"Baron Dick, Commander Christopher, each of you take a group of people and chase after the death knights."
Baron Dick nodded and said, "Pierre, take your men and follow me. The others will assist Commander Christopher. Remember Master Eugene's words."
In the team, there were high-grade professionals who did not belong to the church. Some of them were retainers recruited by the Benedict family, and some were masters hired by the Benedict family. They were all under the command of Baron Dick, who represented the Benedict family.
"Wait," Bishop Jeremy, who was silent, suddenly called out to everyone.
He turned back and said to a Templar beside him, "You follow Sir Dick. When the battle begins, cast 'Glory of Holy Light' on his sword."
The Templar walked behind Baron Dick without saying a word.
Seeing that their men were ready, Baron Dick and Commander Christopher led two groups of people and chased after the two groups of death knights.
After getting close to the enemy, a magic light invisible to the naked eye flashed on the professionals. These were the professionals using magic items to buff themselves.
What followed was a one-sided massacre.
Under the blinding effect of the Radiant Holy Light and the suppression of the Anti-Evil Array, coupled with the fact that their own spells were targeted, this group of Death Knights was no match for the human professions at all. Soon, they were burned into piles of ashes by the Holy Energy.
Grand Wizard Eugene looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. Times had changed. In the era of the Oshui Empire, the Death Knights that made the Gods' Allied Forces pale were simply vulnerable in front of today's alchemy civilization.
He wondered if the legendary Arcana Masters were still as frightening as they were in the legends.
Perhaps strength was only a relative concept. In the face of the progress of the times, it was nothing at all.
With such a philosophical thought, Eugene, the Great Wizard, surrounded by many professionals, came to the gate of the Mage Tower.
When they entered the square in front of the gate of the Mage Tower, the gate of the Mage Tower suddenly opened automatically. Behemoths more than three meters tall rushed out of the gate. These things looked like huge humans wearing armor, but when they walked, the dull sound they made and the tremor of the ground under their feet seemed to tell people that these guys were solid iron lumps.
The Great Wizard Eugene's expression suddenly became serious.
He said a little nervously, "It's the Black Steel Golem unique to the era of the Arcane Empire. Attention, Battle Plan No. 3!"
After saying this, Eugene raised his staff and made a short and mysterious spell. A space door opened in the center of the square.
This was a dimensional door that led to Eugene's mage mansion in another dimension.
