Chapter 25 Deadly Battle
Standing outdoors and looking at a distant view, D-Knight was surprised to find that this was not the ruins of gray frost he knew, because everything seemed so lush and full of vitality.
Akadir, the red-robed commander in armor, turned his head and looked at Rudels, the court wizard beside him.
Unlike ordinary old people, Rudels is very old, but he does not have a hunchback. His straight waist makes him look half a head taller than Akadir.
Akadir withdrew his sight from his white and fluffy beard and glanced at the level he had rearranged at the foot of the mountain. His straight eyebrows were still worried: "Teacher."
Akadir only calls Rudels Rudels when there is no one. For a long time before he became a commander, he worked as an apprentice under the prestigious court wizard. Although Akadir's attainment in magic is far less famous than his swordsmanship, this does not hinder his respect for Rudels.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. It's just the two of us here."
Rudels saw the anxiety hidden in the eyes of his proud disciples and sighed.
"This time Awagan opened the door of darkness because of the group of black dwarfs..."
"Akadir, you are the commander. Don't let your personal emotions affect your judgment. The dark goblin has become our ally."
"How can we pin our hopes on those who are good at treachery? Teacher, we lack everything now. There is no city wall, no crossbow cannon, not even a priest who can heal the wounded, only the warm-blooded loyalty of the soldiers. You know that if the demons of Awagan rushes over, we won't be able to resist it for long!"
"We have no choice," the old mage's face was without sadness or joy, and a pair of gray-brown eyes looked at the west. "No matter what the price is - even if there is only one person left, we will never be able to hand over this temple. Maybe others don't understand why the sanctuary is built here. But I think if it's you, you should understand the reason.
"There is an extremely huge elemental power under the mountains here. If it is given to the demons, they will tear open the cracks in time and space. If they bring the demon king in the abyss to this world - it will be the end of all earthly races." Akadir turned to the beginning. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still said, "I understand."
The old mage held his staff and sighed, "Everything can only be hoped that our allies will arrive early, God bless Croyette!"
The devil's offensive begins at dusk.
The sun in the sky has not yet fallen to the horizon, but a black tide has swept from the west of the temple.
The wind is roaring, withering and decaying, and the sky begins to rain.
Akadir pulled his voice in the wind and rain: "Soldiers, line up, don't panic, don't retreat, guard your defense!"
The devil's first wave of offensive is coming soon. It is a group of ugly green marsh demons. They are only half the height of human beings, with bare heads, and often use some blunt tools polished by boards or stones as weapons. The IQ of the green marsh demon is not high, so the class in the power of Alvaron is very low, but because of his strong reproductive ability and fighting ability, he is often used as an assault force by the demon army.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, they immediately separated their advantages and disadvantages. In terms of single combat ability, the three green marsh demons can't defeat a human warrior together, but the problem is that the ink tide that surges like a flood is really too fierce, and you can only see those bald brains. The green monster in the bag filled the gully that humans dug out for a day or more in an instant.
They can fill the pit with their bodies without fear. They try their best to hit the wooden fence blocking their way forward. Although the human soldiers behind them struggled to resist the impact, then this group of green monsters with low IQ and dexterity came up with each other's bodies as a platform and crossed them. The way to fence the body several times higher. The green tide kept pouring in, and the guards of the wooden fence were overturned by the big waves. They did not stop at all and continued to rush up.
However, this situation is still not the worst. While the ground is constantly being overrified by demons, the black tide in the sky is swept in. Countless stone statues and ghosts are everywhere. They are like the wind, like flying locusts. As long as they dive, the soldiers' bodies are eaten up by the black hurricane, metal armor and swords. The blade was corroded in the wind, and the flesh and blood were peeled off and swallowed clean little by little, leaving only the skeleton of Bai Sensen, which fell in place!
This is a horrible massacre, and human soldiers are retreating.
"In the back, pull the bow, don't let the group of damn stone ghosts come over. The soldiers in front of you collect the formation and hold on. You must hold on!"
The knife fell, a sword broke the oncoming stone ghost into two, and Akadir's voice shouted in the rain.
The situation is not optimistic at all. No, it's terrible. At the moment he shouted, two soldiers on the front line were torn to pieces.
For good, his men were all proud officers and soldiers of the empire. A round of neat and uniform shooting slightly blocked the speed of the black tide.
"Oh, damn it! The people in front of us retreated, and we narrowed the encirclement!"
It's over!
A thunderstorm in the sky whitened half of Akadir's face. He looked at the sky, and the group of black gargoyles converged in the same direction, forming a huge shadow floating in the air.
What is that? There is a little more haze on everyone's face. Because the figure is too huge and oppressive to make people breathless.
"My lord, what should we do?"
The adjutant came up to ask Akadir.
What should I do?
Akadir clenched his fist.
"Do you want to stick to it? Even if you leave your life here, you have to stick to it until the last moment. Do you hear it!"
He grabbed the adjutant's collar and shouted hoarsely.
The monster in the air spread its wings to cover the sky and the sun. The moment it dived down, it swept away a whole row of soldiers. Several of them, who could not dodge, were instantly torn into minced meat by his sharp claws.
Akadir's blood was open and his eyes turned red.
He showed his sword and stabbed the sky: "You bastard, come down and fight to the death with me!"
But the monster turned its wings, shook it majestically, and continued to sweep the human soldiers.
Akadir turned his head angrily and shouted to the archer behind him, "S shoot it down!"
"But sir..."
"This is an order!"
But even if it is the officer's order, the arrows fired by the archer, which could not even stick to the monster's body, were blown away by the wind incited by the monster's wings.
Just when Akadir was anxious, a flash of lightning in the sky directly hit the monster's floating body. It was accidentally attacked by such a blow. Its wings sank and almost fell from the air, but at least it flapped its wings to stabilize the balance.
With puzzled eyes, it turned to the direction of the temple.
On the top of the tower of the temple, the figure of the court wizard Rudels appeared there. His white beard and robe danced fiercely in the wind and rain. He held his staff high and chanted ancient spells.
It's another flash of lightning!
The Troyet soldiers rejoiced for the blow, but Rudels' face did not relax. It should be said that his old face was more serious - the monster fell in the air for a while and stopped, as if it had removed the heavy pressure brought by thunder and lightning. It shook its head like a mouse and screamed strangely. He rushed in the direction of the temple.
"Teacher!"
Akadir couldn't help shouting, but he had no time to be distracted, because of the new wave of magic wave offensive, he was already under the city!
Long plot animation.
Chu Yun suddenly found that his mouse could move.
He received a task prompt: stick to the front for 5 minutes to protect Akadir from being killed!
