In front of Lorenzo, two assault teams composed of temple warriors were ready to go. They were led by the high-level temple warrior Alex and the mid-level temple warrior Galdo, and were preparing to break into the school through the portal.
Alex was in his thirties, wearing a set of fine enchanted armor and a pair of scimitars tied to his back. He raised his head slightly, with an indifferent expression and a bit of arrogance.
Alex was very powerful and became the deputy leader of the Knights of the Temple of Wisdom at a very young age. Among the personnel who came to the operation this time, only the third-level priest Sophia, the demon assassin Rada and he were at a high level. In terms of combat power alone, he even surpassed the priest Sophia and was the strongest among the people in the temple. Therefore, he was Sophia's ally in the temple, not a subordinate. He did not act with the main force before, but came to the secret camp quietly yesterday as a private person.
"We can't predict how many formations and barriers there are in the center of a magic castle, and how many powerful enemies there are. So, Captain Alex, once you go there, try to avoid conflict with anyone and find the target directly according to Lorenzo's map. Retreat quickly after you succeed." Priest Sophia instructed the two warrior leaders.
"Lady Sofia, I've been around these past few days and learned a lot. Few people have seen Black Mountain mages or Chinese take action. I think they are either just for show or they are very limited in manpower. I don't think you need to be so nervous. They may not even have expensive mages. But even if there are high-level mages, so what? They will fall to my scimitar anyway, so don't worry. I'm thinking that if those Black Mountain mages are really vulnerable, it would be a good choice for us to take over this place directly."
"Captain Alex, believers of wisdom will never be blinded by immediate interests. So what if we take over this place? The Temple of Nature will never miss a chance to strike us. We should still act on those most valuable things and avoid unnecessary complications." Sophia advised.
Alex snorted, agreeing to Sofia's request. He pointed to a warrior and said, "Remos, go over and check the situation."
"Yes, deputy commander." The warrior stepped out of the team, holding a long sword and shield, and carefully jumped into the teleportation array. A moment later, he jumped back, the shield in his hand had been shattered, but he was fine, only a scratch on his arm. He reported calmly: "Sir, there are people in the house opposite. They attacked me as soon as I appeared. Some used swords, and some used bows and crossbows. I was ambushed by a kid standing under the teleportation gate. His sword broke my shield."
"Are there many people? How strong are they?" Alex asked.
"There are about six or seven people, and they don't seem to be very strong. The guy who attacked me is about the same strength as me. The others seem to be mostly ordinary people. If they were adults, I'm afraid one person could wipe them out." Remos replied.
Alex nodded and waved his hand. The warrior returned to the team, and a low-level priest began to cast a spell to heal him.
"Lorenzo, it seems your secret place has been discovered." said Priest Sophia.
"Lady Sophia, I'm so sorry. I thought no one would go to that place, but I didn't expect to be run into by someone. I suggest canceling this assault. We can instead attack from outside the wall to prevent Lord Alex from falling into danger." Lorenzo bowed slightly, looking very nervous.
"Captain Alex, Galdo, what do you two think?" Sophia asked.
"Need I say more? Of course I should rush over and kill all these guys." Alex glared at Lorenzo and said, "I'm afraid the person who can threaten my safety has not been born yet in this place!"
"Lady Sofia, I... think what Lord Lorenzo said makes sense." Galdo hesitated and said, "We have come into contact with that Xiao Chen. His strength is unfathomable. Letona has also suffered in front of him. If there are a few mages with equal strength to him in this castle..."
"Yes, although Lord Alex is powerful, as far as I know, the mages of Black Mountain are not easy to deal with." Lorenzo said as he looked at Alex with a worried expression.
"Hmph, Master Sofia, I have made up my mind. Let's attack immediately! Perhaps more and more enemies are rushing there at this moment. Now is the best chance to defeat them in one fell swoop." He glared at Galdo and said, "Since you are so cautious, you should stay with your team and protect Master Lorenzo."
"Okay," Sophia said.
"I'll be the first to go, and your entire team will follow me. After you go down, directly attack the nearest enemy." After Alex said this, he drew his two swords and jumped into the teleportation array first. The warriors in his team followed him in one after another.
At this moment, Lorenzo gently squeezed his palms behind his back, and a faint purple light shone through his fingers.
When the last warrior jumped into the portal, the portal suddenly shook, as if someone was shaking it violently.
"Oh no! My lord, there is a problem with the teleportation array! Some energy is interfering with the teleportation process." Priest Russell, who was presiding over the array, shouted anxiously.
"What's going on!" Sophia walked quickly to the teleportation array, picked up a two-finger-wide branch and inserted it into the teleportation array, then took it out. More than ten cracks appeared on the branch, and the deepest ones almost cut the branch into several sections. "A spatial crack appeared!!"
"Captain Alex... Captain Alex and the others..." Russell murmured.
"They're finished." Sophia said. Her face was gloomy and her eyes were fixed on the ground. No one knew what she was thinking.
The scene fell into silence. After a long moment, Lorenzo asked, "Sir, are you sure that Captain Alex has died?"
"I have sensed the power of that space. No one can travel through such a space. Russell! Why does the formation you control have such a problem? What is going on?" Sophia stood up and asked.
"I, I don't know. Lady Sophia, but this formation is yours..."
"Since you don't know, then go check it out. First, check the formation with me!" After Sophia said that, she and Russell began to check each node and each line along the outer circle of the formation.
"Sir. The formation seems to be stable." Russell said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Sophia once again extended the branch into the teleportation array, and this time the branch was pulled out intact: "Yes, the space gap has disappeared again."
But Sophia's face was not relaxed. She lost her previous graceful look, put her hands on her waist, glanced at everyone present, and said: "Now that the formation is stable, our plan cannot stop. Galdo!"
With cold sweat on his forehead, Galdo saluted to Sophia and said, "My Lord, I think it would be safer to attack from the outside. After all, there was nothing wrong with the teleportation array before Alex jumped in just now."
Seeing that the temple warriors behind Galdo were also hesitant, Sophia turned to Lorenzo and asked, "Lorenzo, what do you think?"
