Chapter 163 The end of the road

"Don't stop, keep shooting."

At the shouts of their commander, the resistance fighters drew arrows from their quivers again, put them on their bows, and aimed at the figure in the distance.

The figure was bathed in sunlight and his features could not be seen clearly. Next to him, a priest was lying on the ground with several arrows stuck in his body.

Those enchanted arrows successfully penetrated the priest's defensive magic and stopped him in his tracks.

The high priest also stopped after his follower fell seriously injured.

"Don't be afraid. He doesn't have many magic skills left to use."

Every priest has a limited number of times to borrow power from the gods. After using up these times, they can only borrow power from the gods they believe in again after a full rest and a complete prayer.

There are also believers of the God of Nature among the resisters, and they know this weakness of the clergy.

Although the specific number of times varies slightly for each god, generally speaking, a high priest like Leming can only use about ten divine arts each time.

This restriction is not because the gods are unwilling to report to their believers, but to allow their believers to take pictures.

Divine arts contain the power of gods, although not much, but the pressure on clergy who are the carriers of divine arts is not small at all. Almost all good gods give priority to the number of divine arts that their believers can use in each round. The level of high priest varies according to different gods, but it is approximately between ten and fifteen times.

Only those evil gods would give power to their believers without any scruples, regardless of their life or death.

After all, for evil gods, as long as they can achieve their goals, believers are nothing more than consumables.

"put!"

Arrows rained down on the glowing figure, and then disappeared in the light.

Lemming just waved his hand, and rays of sunlight spread down and fell on the archers not far away. Like the arrows they shot, they also melted in the sunlight.

"The fifth row goes up and continues to consume him."

However, another group of resistance fighters appeared not far behind Laming, and another rain of arrows fell towards Laming's position.

Each arrow in this rain of arrows carries the power to severely damage a level 2 warrior.

The sunlight still melted away this round of rain of arrows, but the power of the magic was not infinite after all, and these rain of arrows were actually consuming the power of this magic.

"I've really hit the jackpot here."

Leiming's condition was worse than the resistance fighters had expected, and he was now using his last divine power.

The priests of the Sun God Cult had very few divine spells in each round, and a high priest like him could only use divine spells ten times. Then he had to rest, and after the rest, he could restore the number of times he could use divine spells by praying once.

In fact, most of the time, this limit on the number of times does not cause any problems. In most cases, the clergy cannot use up all the times in each round. Even if they do, the clergy can retreat to a safe place under the cover of the Crusaders and restore the number of times they can use the divine spell.

The benefit of this restrained use of divine spells is that the clergy of the Sun God Church obviously have better lifespans and physical conditions than those of other churches, which makes their missionary work much smoother.

After all, if you have to choose between a god preached by a sunny young boy and a god preached by a sickly middle-aged man, most people will choose the first one.

However, the tradition of the Sun God Cult brought great trouble to Lemming when faced with the current situation. This method was not suitable for small-scale clergy operations, especially when a small number of clergy were being chased and could not restore the number of spells they could use at any time. The problem of a small number of spells that could be used in each round would be magnified.

This is why the Sun God Cult has always maintained a chaplain army. This huge chaplain army will accompany the clergy and give the clergy the opportunity to restore the number of times they can use their magic.

However, this time, Lemming did not bring the Guardians with him. To Lemming, those Guardians who were filled with hatred and were too deeply influenced were not suitable to appear in the Church of the Sun God in the Wind Whispering Principality. This would cause the influence of that hatred to spread in the Principality and make the original hedging plan fail.

The Principality has reached an agreement with the Sun God Cult and will not stop them from preaching. In the absence of enemies, it seems that the missionary army is not needed for missionary work. Even if necessary, according to the agreement, the Sun God Cult can request support from the surrounding principality troops.

However, in the current situation, Leiming could not count on the troops belonging to the surrounding principalities. The private soldiers of the nobles had long been frightened by the resistance. Most of them would just stay in the nobles' castles and manors and dare not come out to face the resistance.

The regular troops of the Principality were also deceived into the mountains by these resistance fighters and are now completely unable to help.

"Sunshine!"

However, sitting back and waiting for death is never an option for a Sun God believer.

Dark clouds and darkness would block the sun countless times, but the sun would never give up, always tearing through the darkness and clouds and falling back on the earth. The clergy of the Sun God Cult were all of this stubborn nature.

In the spreading sunlight, some shooters melted again, but this time, a large number of shooters reacted in time, and avoided the sunlight as it spread, staying out of the sunlight area.

The resistance fighters will also observe and conclude that the carrier of most of the magic of the Sun God Cult is sunlight, and sunlight does not turn. As long as they avoid the glare in time, they can greatly reduce the damage they suffer.

This further reduced the damage that Laming's remaining forces could inflict.

"Continue the attack."

Laming's counterattack only caused a brief pause, and then a rain of arrows fell towards Laming's position again.

The sunlight around him melted the arrows again, but this time, the sunlight began to flicker.

"Ready, release the arrow."

The soldiers on the scene mechanically gave the order to attack. Lisabel breathed a sigh of relief. Anyone could see that Lemming was already at the end of his rope.

Another round of arrow rain fell, and this time, the rain of arrows finally produced results.

Although most of the rain of arrows were melted by the sunlight, there was one that broke through Lei Ming's body and landed on his body.

"High Priest Leiming, surrender. There is still a way to survive."

Lisabel came out. If possible, a living high priest would obviously be more useful than a dead one.

Laming was silent, but silence was obviously also an answer.

"no way."

Lysabelle raised her hand and swung it down heavily, and a rain of arrows fell.
