Freya is still alive, and she and her group of priests are still fighting endlessly in the dark underground world, and it has been three days now.
For three days, they hardly rested.
There are too many faceless men, and their offensive is completely restless. And even though Freya and the others occupy the advantage of the terrain, at the same time, there are at most a dozen faceless people who are released from the front. For the powerful group of priests, they can be crushed and wiped out just by waving their hands. Just drop it.
However, no one can stand the words 'endless'.
No matter how many are killed, there will always be the same number of faceless men rushing up. Not only can you kill the enemy, but you can't beat the enemy back. And no matter how powerful Freya and the others were, they still hadn't escaped the scope of human beings. Flesh and blood would definitely get tired in the endless battles.
Freya has done it to the extreme.
They have changed their thinking a long time ago. They don't aim at killing as many faceless people as they want. They just want to delay the time as long as possible.
Then, there is no need to use the precious magic power indiscriminately, especially if it is used to kill the enemy, it is simply a waste.
A few mages have long been ordered not to use magic indiscriminately. The divine power of the priests, except for blessing status and healing injuries, is used as a reserve to restore physical strength.
And the Templars, at the forefront of the entire defense line, stood firm against the continuous and non-stop Faceless Men.
But they still lost a lot.
Among the more than sixty members of the clergy group, except for the team that broke out, less than half of them are still alive so far. Almost all of those who died died of exhaustion.
In this kind of non-stop battle, even the Templars, who are famous all over the continent, cannot sustain infinitely under such intensity of battle.
It is almost the limit for the knights to be able to maintain their combat power for an hour in this life-and-death fight. For more than an hour, the exhaustion of physical strength and the loss of spirit from non-stop fighting will cause the knight's combat effectiveness to drop to a very low level, so that he will make mistakes, or fail to support, and thus be injured or even killed.
Of course, in the middle, Freya can arrange some manpower to replace the defensive line and rest. However, the knights who were replaced and rested often only rested for a short while, and had to fight again due to accidents or when the rotation time was up.
A short rest is better than nothing, which is also an important factor why Freya and the others were able to persist for three full days and nights under the endless attacks of monsters in the underground world.
However, despite this, it is almost time to run out of water.
Freya looked left and right, seeing the sunken eye sockets and dejected looks of the companions beside her, feeling a burst of despair in her heart.
These are all senior clerics from the Holy Child Cathedral, half a squadron of Templars, and another twenty or thirty mid-level and high-level spellcasters. She still remembered how high-spirited they were when they left the cathedral, pointing their swords at Schindler, vowing to purify this land polluted by demons.
But now, it is in a desperate situation.
She could see that everyone seemed to have lost any hope in their hearts. Even, she herself is the same. The three days of persistence had almost exhausted everyone's strength, and the reason why they were able to continue to persist was only because of a kind of inertia.
But she couldn't just give up like that. She is the leader of this team. If even she has given up her last hope, who else can save them
"Persevere, friends!" Freya stood up, "Let's persevere for a while longer, the holy light shines, and hope lasts forever! Fran's warriors will never back down!"
"Fran's warriors will never back down!" The knights replied to her, but the voice seemed somewhat weak.
In just a short while, a Templar who persisted in fighting on the front line was dragged away by the Faceless Man, and the line of defense, which had already become somewhat crumbling, was missing a hole.
Needless to say, a Templar knight who had just come down to rest for a while stood up, gritted his teeth and joined the battlefield again. The power of the holy light that was stimulated should have been shining brightly, but at this moment it shrouded the body so dimly.
Freya stopped him.
"Take a break, I'll go."
"Knight Commander..." the Templar whispered. Everyone of them knew that Freya was the one who put in the most effort in this battle. A fourteenth-level great knight, during the three consecutive days of fighting, the total rest time was less than two hours.
Freya pushed back her blond hair that hadn't dried out her sweat, smiled slightly, picked up her sword and joined the battlefield.
Her strength was almost exhausted, and even in battle, she was even reluctant to use the power of the holy light, and she only relied on her sword skills to deal with the enemy.
But even so, she is still the most solid part of the defense line of the priests—
It is also the part that is most likely to be targeted.
A quarter of an hour after Freya joined the battle again, the faceless men who kept coming up suddenly stopped a step.
No one thinks this is a good thing, because this kind of thing happened many times during their hard fight in the first three days.
The retreat of the Faceless Men does not mean that they have given up their attack, on the contrary, it is a sign of their strengthening offensive!
"Cheer up!" Freya said nervously, she clenched the holy sword in her hand, wondering whether her remaining strength could survive the next attack.
After a while, she felt the entire burrow vibrate.
"Here we come..." I muttered silently in my heart, and when I looked up, a huge monster appeared in front of me.
Nightmare Corruptor.
This monster has an appearance similar to the Faceless, but not quite the same. Their bodies are much larger than the faceless ones, nearly six meters tall, almost touching the top of the burrow; more than a dozen thick tentacles represent that they have far more abundance than ordinary faceless ones offensive means and more powerful forces.
And this is not the scariest part of the Nightmare Corruptor. This kind of monster that Freya had only seen in classics before, just like their name, possessed the power of 'nightmare'.
Between their gestures, they will bring out energy that disturbs the mind. If the mind is a little slack and unfocused, it will be affected by its own nightmare aura and fall into negative states such as 'weakness', 'fragility', and 'confusion'.
Especially, when it attacks with its thick tentacles, this spiritual power will be magnified to the extreme!
