How many priests are there in the woods
This is a difficult question to answer, and at the same time, it is also a question that some people dare not think about. Benjamin didn't know what magic the bishop had performed before he died, but... they might soon be facing nearly a thousand golden flames that filled the entire forest.
Benjamin couldn't help but clenched his fists.
He didn't expect that the bishop would choose to die with them when he realized that the situation was over!
Catalyzed by the high temperature of the flames, the entire forest will burn into terrible fires. Whether it is the cavalry of the Kingdom of Hori or the troops of Ikol... everyone trapped inside will be engulfed by the fire. Only the wizard can escape by relying on flying.
Too cruel.
"Evacuate quickly! Everyone get out of here!"
At this moment, Benjamin had no choice. With the intensity of the golden flame, even if he activated the "Descent of Water", he would not be able to extinguish the coming forest fire. And there are at least 40,000 Ikol soldiers alive in this forest!
Not to mention the supplies and wounded people they carried... By the time this fire breaks out, they will all be dead.
At that moment, a large amount of water vapor was summoned by him and rushed towards the helpless soldiers around him. Benjamin had never tried how many people he could fly with magic, but he knew very well that 40,000 people was simply an impossible number.
He can only save as much as he can...
At the same time, the golden flames grew stronger and stronger from those priests. The priest's body suddenly became insubstantial in the firelight, as if all life, including his soul and body, were supplying dye to the flame, urging it to become the most terrifying demon in the woods.
But even though it conforms to the characteristics of various cult sacrifice rituals, this process is still full of sacred atmosphere, as if they are really fulfilling some sacred mission.
Even the cavalry who were forcibly sacrificed were infected by this atmosphere.
"You are not allowed to leave! This is the glory of God, be purified under the glory of God with us!" Some commanders shouted, "Knights, listen to the order, let me keep these mages!"
The cavalry had already dismounted, and at this moment they were rushing towards the mages who were about to use the flying technique, desperately trying to drag them down.
"You, you crazy people!"
Although they were all a group of ordinary soldiers who posed no threat to Benjamin, their addition in such a chaotic scene also made the situation more difficult. Benjamin didn't even have time to spare his hands to kill them. After all, he still had 40,000 people to save.
—I wasted a little time by these cavalry, and I didn’t know how many people I would save!
At this time, the temperature in the woods had begun to rise under the influence of the golden flames. The tree trunks were smoking, and flames were already burning in some places. The soldiers walked around the priest who spontaneously ignited, but they were all burned red.
Despite his efforts, Benjamin only took off with less than a thousand soldiers.
The remaining soldiers were running around. In order to lure people into the woods, their positions are actually quite deep. Trying to escape beyond the fire at this moment is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Not only that, countless wounded people fell to the ground, and no one had time to carry the stretcher. There were so many golden flames near some people that their body parts had even become scorched black. Their limbs were moving feebly, and they were moaning in pain and weakness.
"Master Mage... Master Mage, save me..."
Benjamin's heart twitched when he saw it.
how so
Could it be... Is there really no way to save everyone
However, at this moment.
"Quick! Stop running around and come here from us!" A voice that was obviously blessed by magic echoed in the woods.
Benjamin was also stunned at the time.
This sound…
He lowered his head and looked towards the source of the sound. A bush that was not noticed by anyone was now divided in the middle, and a big hole appeared on the ground. It was unknown when it was dug out.
A somewhat familiar old figure waved and shouted at the entrance of the cave.
He is the president of the Mages Guild.
At that moment, Benjamin was a little frightened.
When the coup occurred in Icol, the president was obviously kidnapped by people from the church. He also spent a lot of time searching for clues, but in the end, he still found nothing.
Therefore, in his heart, he was already mourning for the president.
"Senior... are you okay?" He couldn't help but fly in that direction and asked.
"Of course he's fine." Another figure emerged from the hole, it was Miles, "I informed you to rush to Regina to handle the coup. I was the closest insider at the time. And here For a while, did you think that I disappeared again and went somewhere to enjoy myself?"
Benjamin froze on the spot, unable to even speak for a moment.
"We'll explain the matter later. Saving people is more important." The president waved his hand and said nothing, but chanted one wind spell after another. The strong wind was summoned by him, rolling up Ikol's soldiers and flying towards the cave.
And more soldiers seemed to have seen the dawn, and without anyone urging them, they rushed towards the hole dug by the president and Miles.
"Don't crowd, take your time, there's room! The hole is very spacious, you can all get out from it!"
"We'll take care of the wounded, and you go deal with the gang of lunatics who are causing trouble..."
Because the scene was a bit chaotic, the president quickly gave instructions. Miles even rushed into the woods, and with no fear of the golden flames, he encountered the Horli Kingdom cavalry who was trying to pull people into the water, and stabbed them one by one.
"Thank you, thank you, you are..."
"Don't worry about who I am, go over there, there are caves that can help you escape from the woods!"
Under Miles's constant guidance, more soldiers regained their composure and ran toward the cave before the flames completely engulfed the woods.
After receiving support, Benjamin's pressure was finally not so great.
He flew directly into the sky and circled back and forth throughout the woods, saving only those soldiers who were very far away from the cave. The evacuation of 40,000 people is not that simple. There must be many people who are unable to use underground holes to escape before being engulfed by the fire. Therefore, Benjamin couldn't just give them up.
At the same time, he was constantly making snowflakes, working hard to cool down the woods and prevent the fire from spreading so quickly. After the other mages successfully took off, they also helped him cool down. Dozens and hundreds of blizzards were unleashed together, and the power was not nearly as powerful as Benjamin's.
-Although it is still difficult for them to completely extinguish those golden flames, the forest fire is an inevitable result.
Again, if I can save one, I will save one. From the moment the golden flames emerged, he knew that heavy losses were inevitable.
The wounded were handed over to the president, the enemy knights were handed over to Miles, the remaining soldiers had legs and could run, and the mages who had free hands also began to help save people... The fire gradually rose from the woods, but under the mutual support of everyone With cooperation, the forest in the firelight finally seemed less desperate.
