Chapter 493: Vision
Inside the Baruch Palace in Addis, the chaotic fighting continued. In the huge negotiation hall, the armed elements of the Savior's Advent faction and the guards of the church's special envoys were engaged in a fierce fight. At this time, the battle extended outward from the negotiation hall and spread to the surrounding areas. For a while, these places were filled with flames, shouts of killing, and prayers. Under the full efforts of the fire magicians, the raging flames had engulfed the entire bustling negotiation hall. The fight between the two sides had to be withdrawn to the outside of the negotiation hall and other areas of the palace.
The guards of the special envoys were all elites selected by the church. Not only were they all extraordinary, but there were three of them at the Cretaceous level. This force was very powerful. In other areas of the secret world, they could easily wipe out a medium-sized society, or wipe out a large society's base in a medium-sized or large city. However, the opponents they encountered this time were not those secret society members who could only hide in the dark corners of the city, but the armed forces of the heretical sect that could subvert a country.
The number of armed men of the Savior's Advent faction is very large, more than ten times that of the guards. They are well-trained in martial arts, and have firm beliefs under the precepts of Mukhtar. They are unwavering and fearless of death. Moreover, they are not all ordinary people. Among them are extraordinary people from apprentice to Cretaceous level.
Although the overall strength of the guard team is more elite, the overall strength is still far from enough to face the Savior armed elements. After a brief advantage at the beginning, the guard team began to be suppressed by the Savior armed elements who attacked continuously. Then they began to suffer casualties, and the situation gradually became serious.
Although the guards of the special envoy group, who were at a disadvantage, fought bravely and killed many Savior militants with a high rate of casualties, for the Savior militants who were blessed by the precepts, the number of casualties was just a number. No matter how large the number was, it would not affect their morale. A steady stream of Savior militants continued to attack by stepping on the corpses of their companions and continued to attack the church guards. When the morale factor no longer played a role and there was no rout, the advantage of numbers could be maximized.
Under the continuous attack of the Savior's armed forces, the guards began to show signs of defeat, and at this moment a firework suddenly rose in the sky outside the palace, and the firework exploded in the daytime sky. After seeing this scene, Shadi's guards, who had been standing quietly aside and seemed to express their neutral attitude, seemed to have waited for something. The leading officer immediately drew out his saber and shouted to his subordinates around him.
"Others are coming! Get started!
"Eliminate those charlatans! The future of Adus belongs to the Adus people! For General Shadi!"
Under the leadership of the officer, his other silent subordinates also drew their weapons and rushed into the battlefield, unexpectedly adding to the war situation. At the same time, outside the palace, there were cries of killing. After receiving the temporary emergency order, the revolutionary soldiers of General Shadi finally rushed over from the barracks outside the city of Addis and attacked the palace. What they were targeting were the savior armed elements who had the upper hand in the melee.
After waiting for the reinforcements outside the palace and confirming that Mukhtar had been completely chased out of the scene, the Shadi Guards who had been waiting for a long time, together with the revolutionary soldiers loyal to Shadi outside the palace, launched an assault on the Savior Faction. The Savior Faction, who were fighting fiercely with the mission guards, did not expect that the neutral Shadi side would suddenly take action, and were caught off guard. Although they did not suffer a complete defeat due to the blessing of the precepts, they also suffered heavy casualties for a while.
After Shadi's troops joined, the scale of the melee began to expand rapidly, and now the entire palace was filled with melee. The troops from all parties added up to more than a thousand people. After the siege of Addis that destroyed the Baruch Dynasty, this ancient capital once again ushered in the baptism of war, and the smoke of gunfire filled every corner of the palace.
When Shadi's men joined the battlefield, lightning in the sky began to appear frequently again, visiting the battlefield in front of them. The lightning struck the Savior's armed forces and began to frequently turn the people in the battle into charcoal. The Savior's armed forces began to lose people rapidly. The special envoy group headed by Gaspare was also surprised to see Shadi's men suddenly join the battle, but now they were facing the enemy, they had no time to worry about any details, it was naturally good to have someone to help.
Under the three-way attack of the thunder, Shadi's subordinates, and the special envoy's guards, the powerful Savior faction began to lose the upper hand rapidly. Although under such pressure, the number of casualties on their side rose rapidly.
On the outer battlefield, Special Envoy Shadi's side has gained an advantage, but on the core battlefield, the situation is not optimistic. In the palace, Mukhtar, relying on the pressure of his own discipline, is using his strengthened body to wield a sword to attack Vanya, while Vanya, who can neither dodge nor escape, is always under the pressure of Mukhtar.
Although he had the upper hand, Mukhtar seemed to lack the means to burst out and had no ability to end the battle in one wave. Although Vanya could not attack or dodge, Vanya had superb swordsmanship and strong physical fitness, and her blocking defense was impenetrable. No matter how Mukhtar attacked, he was almost always blocked by Vanya. Amid the intensive sound of clanging iron, Mukhtar could hardly break through Vanya's sword circle. Even if he succeeded in scratching Vanya's body by chance, Vanya would quickly use her powerful self-healing ability to heal her injuries.
'Why... is this nun so difficult to deal with?! Shouldn't she be just a pretty face? Where did this sword skill come from? Can the heretical Mother Church produce such a master?'
Facing Vanya's stubborn resistance, Mukhtar thought angrily and puzzledly that he had come here alone to easily get rid of Vanya, but Shadi's sudden move and Vanya's difficulty were beyond his expectations. Under the current circumstances, he had no way to quickly get rid of Vanya, so he had to find some other way.
With this in mind, Mukhtar once again used the Soul Language to recite the commandments. This time, he did not recite new commandments. Instead, he strengthened the commandments he had already recited by consuming more spiritual energy and spread them out.
"Precepts: Anyone who hurts my fellow disciples will be punished tenfold. Anyone who hurts my fellow disciples will be punished half..."
Through the extraordinary perception of the "light", Mukhtar could clearly see the battle situation in the palace. He also knew that after the inexplicable lightning strike and the addition of Shadi's troops, the people he brought were being suppressed and beaten. If he didn't do anything, they would be wiped out soon. So Mukhtar chose to strengthen his own anti-injury discipline and spread the weakened version of the anti-injury discipline to the palace, so it was not on his side.
That is to say, at this moment, thousands of Shadi revolutionary soldiers and special envoy guards in the palace were all placed under discipline by Mukhtar. After being entangled by the discipline, when the Shadi revolutionary soldiers were fighting with the special envoy guards, they found that while they had injured the enemy, they would also be inexplicably injured. The injured parts were almost the same as the parts where they injured the enemy. Although the symptoms of the injuries were much lighter than those on the enemy, they were still unbearable in pain for a while, which greatly affected their combat.
Under the counter-injury rule, if you cause damage to Mukhtar's savior militants, you will also be counter-injured. Although it is not as severe as Mukhtar's original damage, which is ten times the severity, or even not as severe as the original damage, it is still 20%.
This 20% counter-injury may seem minor, but it is extremely serious for ordinary soldiers and extraordinary people who do not have the "cup" physique. If they injure the opponent anywhere, they will also be injured, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. If they hit the opponent's vital points and kill him, even if the counter-injury is only 20%, it will be enough to kill themselves if it hits the vital points.
More importantly, this counter-injury effect will make the Shadi Revolutionary Army and the delegation guards become timid in subsequent battles and dare not attack. This strange counter-injury will make the soldiers lose the courage to attack, thus greatly reducing morale and causing chaos in the army. Many people will flee in panic even if they still have the ability to fight after being counter-injured twice.
The collapse of one place will lead to a chain of collapses. When morale is disrupted and there is no organization, no matter how many people there are or how good their equipment is, it will be useless. This is the commonality of the army. The key is that Mukhtar's savior forces on the other side always maintain a constant morale under the commandments. No matter how many people are killed or chopped, no matter how much damage they receive, their organization will not drop.
Therefore, after the spread of Mukhtar's commandments, the situation on the entire palace battlefield underwent a fundamental change. Under the anti-injury commandments, the morale of Shadi's revolutionary army collapsed soon. Except for a few elites like Shadi's personal guards, large numbers of soldiers began to flee. The situation on the battlefield was reversed again, and the Savior faction gained the upper hand again. They gathered together and continued to attack the few remaining mission guards and Shadi's personal guards fearlessly.
This was exactly what Mukhtar wanted. He spread the rules throughout the field and let his men quickly deal with the envoy guards and the Shadi faction's revolutionary army, and then asked them to immediately move to support him. He alone could not break through Vanya's defense for the time being, but as long as his many subordinates came to support him, the situation would be different.
