Evolution game, nothing more than that!

"Is there an ambush?"

King Arthur's face changed and he immediately ordered the army to stop marching.

Although he still had doubts about the intentions of Yi Shen and the others, he would rather believe it than not when it came to such things.

While sending out several teams of scouts to investigate, he ordered the troops behind him to prepare for battle.

Soon, sounds of fighting and shouting were heard from the front.

Arthur immediately understood that Yi Shen's information was true, there was indeed an ambush!

He immediately sent more troops and knights to support, while he himself advanced slowly with his own troops who were ready for battle as backup.

However, the ambushers seemed to know that they had been exposed. After a brief battle, they had no intention of forcing an attack. Instead, they chose to retreat after killing more than a dozen soldiers - and at the same time, they also saved the lives of about seven or eight ambushers.

The returning soldiers brought back the bodies of the ambushers.

Arthur knew at a glance that these were the barbarian mercenaries.

"Shameless and despicable barbarians!"

He couldn't help but spit.

As a king who believed in chivalry, what Arthur despised most was this kind of despicable behavior of playing tricks and schemes, not to mention that the opponents were barbarians, which made him disgusted to the extreme.

However, despite his curses, he also realized how difficult this enemy was.

Ambushes and sneak attacks along the way, and retreating immediately if the attack fails, whether it succeeds or not, can seriously delay the actions of the Camelot side - under normal circumstances, when knowing that the enemy will set up ambushes along the way, it is necessary to continuously send scouts forward to conduct reconnaissance, but doing so will inevitably lead to a decrease in marching speed. In order to be prepared to fight the ambushers at all times, the soldiers on the march will inevitably be highly nervous and fatigue will accumulate faster.

If we arrive at the battlefield in this state, facing an enemy that is well-rested and well-prepared, we will inevitably fall into a very unfavorable situation.

The only good news is that they have wizards like Yi Shen on their side.

Even without mentioning the super-standard large-scale killing magic, this reconnaissance capability, which is more powerful than any scout, is enough to make the enemy's ambush useless.

Chapter 170: Battle with Vortigern

The subsequent development was just as Arthur had expected. Ambushes appeared three times on the road ahead, but they were all detected by Yamasaki An's vampire-level keen sense of smell, and then discovered by Yi Shen's elemental vision.

After trying many times and being discovered in advance, the ambushers realized that this trick was no longer effective and finally stopped trying in vain.

Thanks to this, Arthur did not have to keep his army on high alert all the time, and the marching speed did not slow down.

In this way, after two full days of marching, they finally arrived at their destination.

It was a castle built on a hill, entirely made of gray rocks.

It is not big and has no decorative elements. It is a pure military building.

Just by looking at the thick walls and the shape of the structure built against the mountain, you can tell that this is a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the number of defenders required will not be too large, probably a few hundred people will be enough.

As long as there are sufficient supplies, even if they are besieged by thousands of people, they can hold out for more than half a year.

However, even such a fortress now looked like it had been burned by a fire. The top and most of the city wall were black, and a section of the city wall had collapsed, with Vortigern's flag flying high above it.

And under the castle, a huge military camp was built against the city, and thousands of soldiers had been waiting there for a long time.

Fortunately, before arriving at the battlefield, Arthur had ordered the soldiers to rest, so the army still had plenty of physical strength and was not easily defeated by the enemy.

The two armies faced each other. The Camelot army came out of the forest and deployed their battle formations. The army of Vortigern also walked out of the camp and formed a line.

Not long after, a rider slowly walked out from the army formation of Vortigern's side.

On a tall black horse rode a middle-aged man with silver-white hair.

Seeing this, Arthur also rode forward.

The two sides looked at each other from a distance of hundreds of meters.

"King Vortigern, I didn't expect you to lead the expedition yourself."

Arthur said loudly.

Yes, the silver-haired man opposite was none other than Camelot's arch-enemy, Vortigern, the king of the Northern Kingdom, who proclaimed himself "King of All Britain" and unscrupulously hired Saxon barbarians as mercenaries.

After hearing Arthur's words, the king laughed and said:

"Isn't it the same with you, King Arthur? I knew that once you heard the news that I was sending troops, you would lead them here yourself!"

Arthur couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.

From the sound of it, it seems that the other party is intentionally luring me to bring my troops here?

"Why, is King Vortigern confident that he can defeat me? Don't forget that I was the victor in the previous battles!"

Although he was confused, Arthur refused to show any fear on the surface. He responded loudly and even secretly mocked Vortigern's past failure.

"Humph!"

Sure enough, when Futigeng heard this, his expression became a little ugly.

Camelot, ruled by King Arthur, has always been the biggest stumbling block for Vortigern, who is determined to unify the British Isles.

He had tried to attack Camelot before, but was defeated several times by Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

These failures have always been a thorn in his heart. In the past, if anyone dared to say this to his face, he would surely be killed in anger.

But this time, Vortigern did not get angry.

Because he knew that he was about to win and completely wash away the shame of his past failure!

"You sharp-tongued brat, just be proud of yourself. This is your last chance to be proud!"

Having said this, Vortigern turned his horse around and returned to his army.

Seeing this, Arthur sneered and returned to his knights.

The two kings returned to their respective armies, and then, accompanied by the sound of trumpets, the two armies began to officially fight.

The two armies began to approach slowly, and when they were within the range of arrows, the archers on both sides started shooting at each other at the same time.

Arrows crisscrossed the sky like rain, and then fell in arcs towards the armies of both sides under the influence of gravity.

"Raise your shield——!"

Such orders were heard in both armies, and both knights and soldiers raised their shields above their heads.

The next moment, the sound of "dong dong dong" continued to be heard, and feather arrows pierced the wooden shield, looking like a hedgehog from a distance.

Most people blocked this wave of arrows, but there were a few unlucky ones who were shot in the hands and feet by arrows because their shields were too thin, or they were holding the shield at the wrong angle, or their shields were simply too small and could not completely block the attack.

Some of the unlucky ones were even shot directly in the head, chest or abdomen and died.

But the survivors had no time to mourn for these people, because the next moment, the two armies finally collided with each other.

Wow——!

Like two waves colliding with each other, the two armies, led by their respective knights and kings, fought fiercely together.

There was no battle formation, nor any tactical change, or rather, the previous rain of arrows and the subsequent attack of the army were the only tactics.

——There is no way. If it is the Roman Empire, which is located at the center of Western civilization, there are battle formations like the Roman phalanx. But in Britain, to be honest, there is no soil for the realization of such battle formations at all.

The Romans were able to do that because they had a large number of Roman citizens who had received military training and were able to form such a well-trained army.

But in Britain, apart from the noble knights, most of the soldiers were temporarily recruited farmers, and they were not capable of using high-end equipment like the Roman phalanx.

Being able to do what they are doing now, knowing how to obey orders and fire arrows in unison, charging with their lords without falling behind, and not using swords against their own people, is already the limit of what these peasant soldiers can do.

However, despite this, it cannot be said that these two armies are weak.

The reason lies in the existence of knights and barbarian leaders whose status is similar to that of knights.

These two types of people possess powers far beyond those of ordinary people.

When they appear on the battlefield, the role they play is far more than just a cavalryman or heavy infantryman, but is similar to the status of tanks and armored vehicles in modern warfare.

Every knight or barbarian warrior can easily stir up a bloody storm in the army of ordinary people. It is common for him to fight against a hundred or even several hundred people at a time.

It can be said that in the land of Britain, what really determines the outcome of a battle is not the number of troops, but the number of strong knights and leaders in the two armies.

At this moment, the army of Camelot and the army of Vortigern were very close in terms of the total number of troops and the number of knight-level warriors, so it did not turn into a one-sided massacre of mortals by extraordinary people.

Both sides tacitly chose to fight soldier against soldier, general against general, and king against king, each dividing the battlefield into different parts.

Chapter 171 Healing Light

Yi Shen did not directly engage in the battle.

He originally thought that with his strength, he could easily defeat Vortigern's army, whether it was using thunder from the sky or learning from Magneto to seize the enemy's weapons.

But King Arthur rejected him.

It seems that in the eyes of this Knight King, battles should be fair, with knights and knights, soldiers and soldiers facing off head-on, rather than using unreasonable witchcraft.

However, Yi Shen was not completely unrelated to this battle.

Because he immediately proposed using magic to bless the Camelot army and heal their injuries in battle at any time.

This time King Arthur did not refuse.

Although he himself is protected by the scabbard and will not be injured on the battlefield, the knights and soldiers under his command do not have this ability.

If a wizard could cast a spell to heal injured soldiers and knights in real time, the advantage gained on the battlefield would be unimaginably great!

The only question is, Yi Shen, can you do it?

In fact, King Arthur expressed doubts about this until the moment the battle began.

After all, he had never heard of magic that could cover such a large battlefield and have an effect on such a large number of individuals. Even Merlin might not be able to do such a thing.

But considering the previous battle records of these three Eastern wizards, he couldn't help but feel skeptical.

What if?

What if it really can be done?

All doubts and expectations were answered a few minutes after the battle began.

Just after the Camelot army and Vortigern's army fought together, a soft and sacred light suddenly lit up behind the Camelot army, covering all the Camelot soldiers and knights.

The light is not strong and is not even easily noticed when mixed in with the sunlight.

But when it shone on the injured Camelot soldiers and knights, the wounds they had just been slashed and stabbed by the enemy immediately healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

No one even noticed it at first.

After all, for people who are in fierce battle, adrenaline is surging and the body is in a state of extreme excitement, so their sense of pain is naturally numb. As long as they are not injured in vital parts, they may not even notice that they are injured.

However, when the first person whose neck was cut in half by a knife healed the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye and came back to life, both the enemy and the friendly forces noticed this miraculous phenomenon.

After the initial shock, the soldiers of Camelot naturally felt joy.

Isn’t such a miracle irrefutable proof that the gods have blessed them?

With such divine help, how could they not win!

But the Vortigern army on the opposite side was horrified after seeing this scene.

This is evil witchcraft!

Camelot is fighting with undead zombies!

Well, he was just stabbed in the vitals and then he immediately came back to life, covered in blood and continued to fight. He really looked like the legendary zombie.

Some timid soldiers were immediately frightened by this terrible scene and lost their fighting spirit. If they were not on a crowded battlefield, they would probably have turned around and fled on the spot.

But after the initial shock and fear, more soldiers gritted their teeth and continued to fight - it seemed that in the minds of these soldiers, the evil magic of zombies alone could not scare them.

However, it was inevitable that one side could recover immediately after being injured, while the other side could only suffer. This multi-faceted disadvantage caused the morale of Vortigern's soldiers to decline rapidly, and the battle line was retreating bit by bit.

King Arthur, who was fighting with Vortigern, naturally noticed this.

During the break in the battle, he glanced back and saw that at the back of the battlefield, the mysterious oriental wizard was raising his hands high, holding a glowing ball of light in the air. The healing light was emitted from this ball of light.

——Just like he transformed the holy thunder into holy light in Valentine’s base before, this time, Yi Shen also transformed the healing thunder into healing light.

The principle is the same, which is to convert the elemental force infused with healing will into electromagnetic waves through electromagnetic conversion, and it is in the visible band.

In this way, he transformed the healing power that could only be used on one person or a few individuals into a large-scale healing ability.

In particular, due to the idealistic nature of the elemental force itself, this large-scale healing light also has the ability to identify friend or foe. It will only have an effect on targets recognized by Yi Shen. For irrelevant or enemy targets, it is just ordinary light.

Just a small magic spell gave Arthur's army a huge advantage.
