A cold wave swept across the valley.
In the dark night sky, snowflakes were floating inexplicably. The Black Nightmare Army was fighting its way out of the siege of the Royal Army. The two sides were fighting fiercely, and both sides could not help but slow down suddenly and raise their heads in confusion. And above, where Benjamin swung his sword, he saw a huge crack in the shining wall of light!
Behind the crack, a row of priests stood there, staring straight at Benjamin, motionless.
In fact, they can no longer move. Under the skin, the blood in the whole body was frozen into solid ice at that moment. From the outside, they seemed to be no different from ordinary people, but inside the body, all vitality died because of the sword that did not hit them at all.
A second later, there was a clang, clang, clang, and dozens of hard corpses fell, falling apart like plaster statues.
The priest team in the sky was almost completely wiped out, and the few lucky ones left were scattered. They were not injured by the "sword energy", but they still looked shocked. Grant even eliminated three characters in a row to ensure that he was not affected by the sword just now.
"What's this… "
Grant was stunned. Different from usual, he did not feel the aura of the divine world from this sword, and there were no runes flashing when the opponent waved it. It was just basic spell-casting skills plus simple and crude accumulation of elements, which was a low-level magic. But it was precisely because of this that he was so stunned, because the lethality erupted from that sword even far exceeded the power they borrowed from the God Realm!
It stands to reason that nothing in the world can break through the holy wall of light that he presides over and is displayed by a large number of priests.
How come it has such strong penetrating power
However, before he had time to figure it out, everyone saw that Benjamin looked at the opening on the wall, and then at the half-shrunken sword in his hand, and then he once again took the sword that seemed to hide an entire world of ice and snow. The long sword was raised.
The hair on the heads of several people in the church stood on end.
"Quick! The people below come to support!" Grant gave the order, and the priests who originally participated in the siege of the Black Nightmare Army had to turn around and fly towards him.
They tried to repair the big hole in the aperture, but found that all the holy light in the crack seemed to be frozen and could not be repaired. Benjamin pointed the sword blade directly in Grant's direction through the crack. They had no choice but to urgently build a new wall, and Grant was holding a golden cross in his hand, ready at any time.
Then, the next second, the ice sword swung down again.
The terrifying blizzard broke out again, and the entire valley was so cold that it seemed like it had entered a glacial period, and the people below could hardly fight. As the primary target of this cold attack, Grant crushed the cross without hesitation. In an instant, holy light enveloped him, forming a huge sphere to protect him.
Immediately afterwards, cold air swept over, and even though the sphere was purely composed of holy light and not a solid body, frost suddenly formed on the surface. Grant stayed inside, feeling a chill in his body, shivering subconsciously, and his perception of the outside world was completely cut off.
However... the Holy Light Sphere was not destroyed, and Grant was protected inside. The blood in his body was not frozen into ice.
"Terrible magic..." Even he said it subconsciously. After a few seconds, the ball of light dissipated, but the layer of frost was still there. Grant even had to send out several more extreme light rays before he could escape and see what was happening outside.
However, when he saw the scene outside, he couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
Below, I saw that the encirclement formed by the kingdom had been cut through an ice road. From the center to outside the northern circle, there were motionless ice sculptures on both sides. Although the Black Nightmare Army was swaying around, as if there was a strong wind pushing behind them, they slid directly down the slope and along the ice road, and no one in the church had time to stop them!
As for Benjamin... he flew above them, escorting everyone to evacuate.
"Hurry up!"
Seeing this scene, Grant immediately shouted out.
He could feel that after firing those two swords, the water element around Benjamin became much weaker than before. Such a good opportunity, they must not miss it!
But a priest suddenly flew over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Suddenly, Grant's expression changed. He showed an expression of reluctance and looked at the Black Nightmares who had escaped from the encirclement. He hesitated for a few seconds, and finally waved his hand and changed his order: "The entire army retreats! Hurry!"
Everyone in the Wang Guojun was stunned. They didn't know what was happening. The enemy hadn't run far yet. It wasn't like they couldn't chase him.
But they could not disobey the Pope's order, so they could only quickly stop and start evacuating in the other direction.
Benjamin couldn't help but look back in confusion.
"They won't chase?"
At that moment, he immediately thought of various possible reasons. There was probably a fire in the church's backyard! An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he wanted to pursue the other side in turn, but after taking a deep breath, he resisted this impulse.
The attack just now consumed too much of his mental energy. At this moment, the duration of Water's Coming is running out. There are many priests protecting Grant around him, and he may have life-saving means that he has not yet used. It is difficult for him to directly kill the opponent in a few minutes.
Moreover, below, the Black Nightmare Army was already in a state of embarrassment in order to find a way out, and it was unrealistic for them to fight back.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he chose to continue his retreat.
This valley was not too long, and they ran out of it after more than ten minutes. The terrain became extremely open, and after confirming the safety of the surrounding environment, they were finally able to stop and rest. Almost everyone had blood on their bodies, and many of them had injuries. Fortunately, there was magic to help heal them, otherwise they wouldn't be able to find even a bandage in the wilderness.
Benjamin continued to treat Yusi while confirming the casualties.
"It's not bad, just over a hundred people died. You guys ran quite fast." The system seemed to be comforting him, but it made him angry. "And the enemy withdrew for some reason. You threw them in the valley." You can pick up your luggage and equipment by yourself later.”
"...Shut up." Benjamin immediately scolded him back.
He looked at the dwindling number of soldiers and couldn't help but sigh.
But at this moment, another army suddenly appeared on the northern horizon. They waved big flags, their horse hooves shook the ground, and rushed over here at extremely fast speeds. There are many figures flying in the sky, like a team of well-trained spell casters. Waves of magic power are emanating from them, with an astonishing momentum.
The surviving soldiers were stunned.
They could see that the army rushing towards them numbered at least tens of thousands of people, and it was so vast that it could swallow them up in an instant. At this time, they had just escaped from a siege and were in very bad condition, making it difficult to continue fighting.
Who is he
Benjamin took a deep breath, raised his guard, but relaxed again after a few seconds.
"...Is it you?"
They saw the army coming to them. The general at the front was riding a horse and took off his helmet, revealing his pale blond hair. She nodded and smiled toothlessly at Benjamin, with a large purple flag fluttering in the wind behind her.
"The royal army seems to have noticed something." Elizabeth said slowly, "Unfortunately, my ambush army almost intercepted them."
