"Master, the city wall has been breached, and the coalition may not last long! Let's go!"
She could already hear the sound of fighting outside and walked out of the tower, only to see the dark clouds in the sky revealing a dim red light, as if wrapped in sticky blood.
"But my sister hasn't come back yet."
"She is a soldier of the garrison, and it is impossible to leave the defense line without authorization," Kraft's voice became more and more anxious, "If you die here, won't you live up to her wishes!"
After hesitating for a while, she finally nodded in agreement, "I see."
The streets were full of fugitives. The guards maintained a precarious order and merged into the flow of people. She followed everyone to the south gate involuntarily. Kraft kept close by her side, and used her strong and burly body to protect her from being attacked. The panicked crowd crowded out.
A complete failure.
Is this our end? She glanced at the Babel Tower behind her, which was the highest point in the city and the central area of the Federation. The flying devil has already attacked the top of the tower with a madman, and occasionally a flash of lightning will light up, knocking the devil down. But all to no avail - there are simply too many enemies.
After hundreds of years of construction and development, the city has become the most prosperous holy city in the Fertile Plain. Today, however, it seems to be in ruins, and generations of efforts cannot save the tower—like a sandcastle that children spend an afternoon building, and in the blink of an eye, it will once again return to chaos and disorder.
…
Passing through the south gate, the detouring demons have arrived, and those who can still fight spontaneously step forward and cooperate with the guards to fight.
But the other side not only has mad demons, but also heart fear demons and hell lords. The strength gap between the two sides is too great. After a wave of spear throwing, dozens of people lay in a pool of blood, some were pierced by iron spears in their abdomens, their steaming intestines slid into the icy snow, and some just had their limbs cut off, holding the wound in pain. howling.
"Master, what are you going to do?" Kavre grabbed her.
"I can fight too," she took a deep breath, "let me go."
"No, you are far more important than them, you can't—"
"Let go!" Her magic power poured out, and the cold air overflowed, shaking the opponent's palm away, and then strode forward without looking back. Seeing the ferocious visor and the blood dripping weapon that the enemy was only a hundred paces away, she felt her heart gradually tighten. But even so, she is unwilling to continue to hide behind everyone - as a member of the Holy City witch, even if she wants to die in the end, she should die on the battlefield!
"Get out of the way!"
At this moment, a clear scolding came from the side of the battlefield, and a person fell from the sky, like a god descending.
She turned her back to everyone and raised the long sword in her hand. The long reddish-brown hair was like a flame, instantly igniting the hope in everyone's heart.
"The Holy Protector of the Federation!"
"She is... above the transcendent!"
In the sound of people's astonishment, the brilliance began to flow between the blades, and soon the blade turned into a dazzling golden color - like a new sun, the brilliance covered the earth, even the dark red clouds in the sky. Not daring to hide its edge, countless golden fringes were reflected under the clouds. When the light reached its peak, the visitor leaped forward and swung his long sword at the attacking devil.
Wan Lai was silent.
At that moment, time seemed to stagnate, and before the incandescence that engulfed everything, the figure of the other party was like the last darkness at dawn.
Be it a madman or a lord of hell, they all collapsed in this light.
When she reopened her eyes, the snow in front of her had turned into a piece of scorched earth, and the approaching enemy seemed to have never existed.
When the other demons saw this scene, they retreated at the same time, and more holy protect warriors also arrived at this time, joining the battlefield to chase the fleeing enemies, and the siege was broken.
"Let's go." The sword-wielding witch seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She knelt on one knee on the ground and said, "Get out of here now."
"But... my lord, where can we go?" someone in the crowd asked.
Yeah, where can we go? She thought bitterly that even the last holy city fell under the attack of the devil, and tens of thousands of people lost their lives.
"Don't give up, we still have hope!" the red-haired witch said firmly, "over the mountains, over the rivers, to the wild land."
"But... there are only some backward countrymen there."
"We can restore order, go ahead, as long as we survive, we will see the day of victory!"
…
"Master, why don't you go with them?"
She took a group of people out of the crowd and hurried westward. Except for Kraft and the family guards, the rest basically have no fighting power, and they are all servants and servants in the tower.
"I left some key magic stones and documents in the test building in the hidden forest. Since order is to be rebuilt, these things are very important to witches. I want to take them to the mountain."
"The devil is chasing after him!"
"Thresh, stop them," Kraft ordered.
"Yes!"
She gritted her teeth and moved forward. These mortals can only stop the devil's pace, and can't defeat their opponents at all. I'm afraid they won't have any vitality after this. But she must leave them behind and get to her destination as soon as possible.
For some reason, black and white spots appeared in the sky... My vision became blurred.
…
Kraft panted behind him, even as strong as he was, tired after three days of trekking in the snow.
She glanced behind her. There were only six people left in the team of more than 30 people. Some people fled halfway, and some people were seriously injured and took the initiative to leave the team, if the devil catches up again...
"Don't worry, Master, and me." Kraft seemed to see through her thoughts and comforted, "I will try my best to hold them back."
"why?"
He was slightly taken aback.
"Why do you want to hold on to the end? If you run away now, you might be able to survive," she said puzzled. "We are witches, we have always been high above, and you are just an ordinary person. Under normal circumstances, you would not think about it. Come die with me."
"But you have never treated us harshly. Although I have no magic power, I also understand a lot of truth - it is my duty to protect you."
There was a commotion behind, and everyone knew that the final moment had come.
"Master, hurry up and don't look back."
There are more and more black and white spots.
…
She stumbled into the basement, clearing up the papers and magic stones on the table.
Kraft's words made her a little confused.
For a long time, there has been a common belief in the Holy City that witches are chosen by gods, and those who cannot condense magic power are ignorant and incompetent, but they are only the soil to cultivate them. But in this family guard captain, she saw courage and tenacity, not as incompetent as everyone said. In fact, they also have a side that the witch can't reach, and the two are better together than one-sided drive - at least in her stone tower.
In this case, why did the people of more than 400 years ago fail miserably
Suddenly, the devil's roar sounded outside the door.
Damn, they came so fast.
Her vision was already cloudy, and countless spots were flying in front of her eyes, almost filling her entire field of vision... And she couldn't die here, she had to take all her research results out - over the mountains, across the river, to the Reforged order in the wild!
She took out an echo magic stone, injected magic power, and made it keep making calls for help.
The wooden door was torn apart with a loud noise, and the devil had already broken in.
Hoping that someone could hear her cry for help, she drove the magic power in her whole body, turning into frost and spewing out, the madman raised his spear, and his arms quickly swelled. The next moment, the tip of the hair that emitted a cold light flew straight towards her.
She couldn't help closing her eyes, the black and white spots obscured everything, her vision turned to pitch black, and her voice disappeared. The body no longer felt cold, as if it was wrapped in a mass of soft velvet, as if she was not in a dark basement, but lying on the warm grass, and the pain of being pierced by her body did not come for a long time. .
Are you dead
After a long time, a slit appeared in the darkness, and then it became brighter and brighter. She tried to slowly open her eyes, and the hazy gray roof came into view little by little.
She heard someone say, "Your Highness, she's awake."
