Chapter 43: The Battle to Attack the Cult of the God of Struggle

Ellie flipped through the materials she had borrowed from her sister.

There is very little information about the Dark Fertility Goddess sect. We can only confirm that this is a cult based on their actions. As for the Dark Fertility Goddess they worship, there is absolutely no information about her.

In comparison, there is much more information about the God of Struggle. He is a blood-based god, and most of the time his image appears as a three-headed wolf.

The God of Struggle sect is mainly distributed in the north, that is, in the northern union. Their doctrine is to provoke quarrels, fights, and wars. As long as it is a dispute, they like it.

Believers with a certain status can obtain the treasure bestowed by the God of Struggle, the Rose-Red Orb, through a sacrificial ceremony.

The Rose Orb can transform qualified believers into powerful monsters.

Since there are conflicts wherever there are people, even if the Torch Church vigorously cracks down on them, the followers of the God of Struggle are like indestructible cockroaches and are still active around the world.

At this time, on the other side, Rand hid behind fifty fully armed soldiers, ten sword and shield soldiers, twenty spearmen, and twenty archers.

The sword and shield soldiers and spearmen are both pretty good, but the archers are not so good.

The training of archers is very difficult. Such a short time is not enough to train qualified archers. Moreover, if they do not have enough physical strength, they will not be able to pull the longbow after a few times. Therefore, Rand equipped these archers with small bows.

However, the requirements for these archery novices are not high. They just need to avoid shooting their teammates and keep the arrows stable in an area. Rand does not need them to kill accurately, he only needs fire coverage.

The hideout of the Cult of the God of Struggle in the Crescent Territory is very remote. There are no roads to many places, and one has to fight through many obstacles to get there. No one knows how Lisa found this well-hidden hideout.

The only high-level fighter accompanying the army this time is Lysa. Olenna and Ellie are still working in the hideout, but if Rand is also considered a high-level fighter, then there are two of them.

At noon on the third day after setting out, they finally arrived at the hideout of the God of Struggle sect.

After passing through the dense forest, there is a wide and flat area with gurgling water beside it.

Rand stood on a tree and observed the environment here. He touched his chin and felt that if the population of Crescent Territory began to increase in the future, a village could be opened here.

It looks like the land is very fertile.

But now, we have to get rid of these parasites first.

Rand raised the banner in his hand and shouted: "For the faith of the Mother Goddess!"

"For the faith of the Mother Goddess!" The soldiers immediately shouted along with Rand, and then, under Rand's command, they began to charge directly.

For flat terrain, there is no need to block the road. In fact, for such flat villages, the best way to attack is a night attack.

If Rand had fifty armored knights now, they would rush over at night and kill everyone.

Unfortunately, such strength only exists in dreams.

Rand had checked and found that many of his villagers, who had been suffering from nutritional imbalance for years, suffered from night blindness.

Moreover, in a night attack, the new recruits, who have never seen blood and have just completed a period of off-duty training, may not be able to distinguish between friend and foe.

Therefore, we should talk about high-end operations like night raids later. Maybe when Taner returns with the mercenary group after training, they will be a group of veterans who have fought many battles.

The offensive that Rand attempted this time was a coordinated infantry and artillery attack, although there were no artillery.

It sounds very high-sounding, but in fact it is just maintaining the infantry formation, waiting for the archers in the back row to shoot a wave of arrows, and then advancing forward a certain distance.

The advantage is that the enemy is suppressed by the bows and arrows and cannot form a formation in time, or cannot immediately switch from a defensive posture to an offensive posture. This short and important gap is where the magic of this offensive lies.

Of course, this was just training. Although the number of these cultists was much larger than Rand had imagined, they were still within the range that these recruits could handle in actual combat training.

Unless everyone here can transform into the monster that Taran described.

As the massacre of these God of Struggle followers continued, some of them finally began to use the Rose-Red Orb.

Rand looked at Lysa beside him, and Lysa immediately bent her bow and drew her arrow. Then, the enchanted emerald green arrow flew through the crowd like a nimble fish. Every believer who tried to use the ruby ​​orb would have his throat pierced by the arrow.

But the cultists soon reacted and began hiding behind cover and using their transformation abilities.

Rand frowned. Taner was not there at the moment, and there was no high place for him to stand, so he did not have a clear grasp of the situation.

Until several giant red monsters with multiple heads rushed out from among the believers.

"Hold the formation!" Rand roared. These soldiers had been told before that they would encounter some non-human monsters, and they often saw Minotaur villagers during training, so although they were shocked when facing these monsters, they were not too panicked overall.

"Archers! Shoot!"

The archers followed Rand's command and shot their arrows again.

These novice archers cannot control the arrows accurately, but after training, they can still shoot arrows in a general area.

As long as this is done, fire suppression can be achieved.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Arrows fell like rain, shooting down these giant monsters that were two or three people tall, but many monsters still rushed to the front row of sword and shield warriors.

At this time, these new archers are useless because they simply cannot avoid hurting friendly forces in the melee.

They could only continue to suppress other enemies in the distance. As for those who rushed nearby, they could only rely on sword and shield soldiers and halberd soldiers.

"Raise your shields!" Rand continued to roar his orders.

The monster's huge hands hammered on the shields, but it could only break a few shields at a time. The difference in strength was not big enough to flatten a person.

Soon the well-trained sword and shield man raised the shield again.

"Raise the halberd!"

The halberdier raised his halberd and stabbed it into the giant's body.

Several more giant monsters rushed to the front of the formation.

How could there be so many? Rand was puzzled, but he still gave the order without ambiguity. He had experienced a lot since he traveled through time, and it was difficult for him to be shaken.

"Don't panic! Keep your formation!" Rand continued to roar loudly in the noisy environment.

Although they are new recruits, they can all be counted as religious soldiers. Compared with ordinary soldiers, the morale of these soldiers with religious beliefs is generally higher.

And they trust their god Rand very much.

Therefore, facing these giant monsters rushing towards them, all they had were long spears like forests and huge shields like mountains.

And with the fall of the last giant monster, the battle finally came to an end.

After ordering the cultists to clean up the battlefield, Rand prepared to see if there were any suitable prisoners. Just like when he first came to the Cult of Abundance, many of the cultists were actually civilians with nothing, and were not necessarily evil cultists.

Rand planned to select some and recruit them.

Also, his ability to be exempted from sacrifice is theoretically not only effective for the Goddess of Fertility. It would be a waste not to fleece the wool of this God of Struggle. But I wonder how many of these captured believers who are still alive can remember the words of the sacrificial prayer.

Rand was still very excited when he thought about the long-awaited wool-grabbing session coming again. As for the goddess Feng Rang, Rand could only say sorry to the goddess Feng Rang, just once! (End of this chapter)
