186 The Mad Banshee
Bai Gang asked, "Why do you say that?"
Morey III explained: "The undead like the banshee is almost not afraid of the alchemy mechanical crossbow you have. Even if the power of that crossbow can kill a dragon, it is useless.
But they were very afraid of the attacks of the sacred species. Whether it was the priest's magic or the weapons that enchanted the sacred species attacks, the banshees were simply vulnerable in front of such weapons.
So, unfortunately, because in this way, your people, you, have no resistance in front of these banshees, and we only have half of our combat power.
Fortunately, these banshees are at least easy to deal with for us.”
At this moment, the priest who had just run over to heal the Iron Wall Knight suddenly stood up and said:
"Your Majesty... In fact, I'm afraid we have another unfortunate news - our magical powers are weakened very much!"
Morey III frowned first, then reacted.
Although the priest does not necessarily have to rely on the power of the gods to perform divine art, the divine art is ultimately a spell that originates from the gods. Once the divine art is left where the gods are located, the effect will decrease.
The people of Duze generally believe in the God of Light, who are born to restrain the undead. This is indeed the case in Anglia, but the situation in the underworld is exactly the opposite.
In this home plane of the undead, the influence of the God of Light will be greatly weakened, while the combat power of the undead will be strengthened.
Although the half plane that is now located is not really in the underworld, it will also be affected. The combat effectiveness of those priests is probably not as good as that of Anglia!
What’s even more troublesome is that it’s just that the power is weak, but the consumption of magic will become greater. With the double weakening, the combat power of the priests is really a cliff-like decline.
Moreover, as the semi-plane gradually moves closer to the underworld, this disadvantage will become more and more serious. As one rises and the other falls, their advantage against the banshee is not that great.
Morey III said to Bai Gang with a ugly expression: "Earl Bai, it seems we must fight quickly! I almost forgot that although this is only a half-plane, it can also be regarded as half of the home court for those undeads."
Bai Gang nodded. He had heard of the undead like a banshee in his previous life, but he was not very familiar with it and had never met it.
Because this kind of undead usually only appears in caves and dungeons, they rarely come outside, but they didn't expect that it would become their big problem now.
After knowing who the enemy below was, the team's actions became bolder.
Although the banshee is a spirit body, it can only penetrate thinner objects and is powerless against the thick walls around the hole, which makes the team's defense much easier.
Moreover, the Banshee's attack is a direct extraction of vitality, and one or two attacks are not enough to be fatal. Although this attack will cause many negative states at the same time, fortunately, there are priests who can quickly recover these damage... As long as the priests can still use the magical technique.
Morey III and Bai Gang discussed it and decided to let all Bai Gang go back because these people had no resistance in front of the banshee. The priests' magical skills must be calculated carefully. It is impossible to waste too much on those of them who cannot cause harm to the banshee. It would be better to go back.
In fact, Morey III wanted to send Baigang out too. After all, they came this time to rescue the Count. If he died, what if he escaped from this half plane? Are you going to wait for Yunfeng City to break the city next?
But Morey III could not twist Bai Gang after all. He himself understood that as a strong man who was used to charging, it was actually an insult to let him huddle behind and wait for news.
Now the ones walking in front have been replaced by the Iron Wall Knights. In order to save magic as much as possible, the mages did not use lighting, but the knights took tactical flashlights and glow sticks and threw them all over the glow sticks. Before evacuating, Baigang's men had handed all the equipment that could be used to send to the Iron Wall Knights.
If it is a normal knight, naturally, he is unwilling to use this kind of alchemy creation that is not bright, but at this time every trace of magic is precious, and as long as something that can save magic is always good.
The team continued to walk forward carefully for a while, and with the light emitted by the glow stick, they vaguely saw that the front seemed to have become much wider.
The knights broke out a few glow sticks and threw them out, immediately illuminating the wide cave that was three or four hundred square meters in front and another small hole opposite.
There is nothing else in the cave except for broken soil and rocks. It seems that if you want to find the magic circle, you should continue to go deeper.
However, the team did not dare to step into this wide area rashly. They were preparing to wait for the priest to use [Detection of the Dead] to continue moving forward after checking. This is also the usual practice of explorers on the Anglia continent.
But before [Detection of the Dead] could be used, the overwhelming banshee was like a frightened group of bats, flying down from the top of the cave that the glow stick had not been illuminated, and then rushed towards the Iron Wall Knights!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Morey III immediately shouted loudly: "Open the scroll! Let's rush over!"
The iron wall knights in front of the team quickly tore open the [Sacred Barrier] scroll and led the team to rush out with the sacred light shield.
As soon as the shield emitting sacred light appeared, a terrified expression appeared on the faces of the banshees. They, who were just fierce and evil, immediately fled in all directions.
Marquis Kadian shouted happily: "The shield is useful! Everyone rushed over immediately!"
The team rushed into the wide cave under the protection of the [Sacred Barrier], but just after everyone entered the cave, the expressions of the banshee suddenly became strange. They were frightened and crazy, and wanted to escape the sacred aura emitted by the [Sacred Barrier], but the next moment they tried to pounce on them crazy!
This strange thing immediately attracted the attention of the team. No one needed to order each other and immediately covered each other to tighten the formation, and at the same time, the pace became faster.
Sure enough, the strange changes of the banshees lasted only a second or two, and then they rushed towards Bai Gang and the others as if they were controlled by something!
It makes sense for the Banshees to be afraid of the [Sacred Barrier].
The crazy banshee screamed and pounced on the knights. Their spiritual bodies hit the sacred shield like water splashed on the glass door, quickly melting into a bodyless ball of nothingness, and then it was wiped out into a smoke and disappeared!
