Only when the Holy Archers reached the front line and stood behind the War Paladins did they realize, to their horror, that they had already lost nearly half their members.
"Assassins!!!" the Holy Archers cried out.
The War Paladins immediately fell back to protect the remaining Holy Archers, escorting them to the position between themselves and the Giant Shield Guards.
Upon hearing this news, the distant commander of the Golden Corps' expression changed drastically.
'These damn bees! They've cost me dearly!'
In a fit of desperation, he commanded the Wisdom Priests to cast the wide-area spell "Sacrifice."
A sacred energy enveloped the sky and ground around them, inflicting a continuous, divine burn on all enemy units within its range.
The damage from "Sacrifice" wasn't high, but its strength lay in its continuous, stacking burn effect.
