Chapter 356 Encounter

The sky was gloomy due to the gathering of tyrannical shadow elements. After three batches of "Shadow Guards" appeared, the fourth and fifth batches appeared again after a few minutes. So many powerful summoned creatures made the battlefield completely one-sided In the current situation, the troops of the "Rose Cross" are struggling desperately, but they still can't break through the encirclement circle built by these powerful guards. It seems that they will completely collapse and suffer unprecedented massacres before long...

However, at the rear two kilometers away from the main battlefield, Cardinal Goethe, holding the "Kiss of Vipers", was not excited by the boost effect of the summoning technique, but stopped stepping into the frontline battlefield, bowed his head and meditated.

"why is it like this…"

According to Bishop Goethe's original strength, he can summon up to sixty "Shadow Guards" under the influence of the "Ghosting" skill, "Shadow Amplification" talent, and the title of "Cross Bearer". The powerful increase of the "Kiss" scepter has already allowed him to double this number by five times-Ul fruit, no matter what, can be called "horror", and the scepter itself is enough to be called "artifact".

But what puzzled Bishop Goethe at this time was... Although the power of this scepter had increased far beyond imagination, after casting spells several times in a row, he felt an unprecedented "repulsion".

It's like tightly attracted magnets suddenly start to "repel" each other. Logically, the connection between the caster and the staff should be unobstructed, and even the lowest-level staff will not interfere with the casting of spells. No one has any "resistance", not to mention the artifact-level "Viper's Kiss"... But the fact is that when Goethe cast "Summon: Shadowguard" for the fifth time, this scepter was somewhat unaffected. The phenomenon of "elemental disorder" appeared under control, and even a "crackling" shadow turbulence appeared.

Goethe had a hunch that if he insisted on using it to cast spells, it might even be a problem whether the spell could be released successfully, but he couldn't be sure of the reason for this situation...

So he stopped and rested for a few minutes. When his mana recovered a little, Goethe tried to communicate with the scepter with elemental power, and then found that the situation seemed to be better than before.

"Is it because the mana is not enough, so you can't meet the standard for using the scepter?"

The more Goethe thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He raised his eyes and looked at the battlefield ahead where there was no suspense. He waved to the guards beside him and said, "Find a suitable place to rest for a while."

"Yes, Monsieur Goethe."

Because they came from the distant Leonards Canyon, there were not many guards around Goethe. The twenty elite guards and five shadow priests added up were just symbolic "protection", not far away. There are two reserve teams with over a thousand people, plus Goethe himself with superior strength, there is no risk at all for his actions at this time.

As the order was issued, the team that only represented the command center slowly changed its direction and moved towards the inconspicuous village next to it...

At the same time, Sally, who was blown away by the "Shadow Explosion", crossed a distance of three or four meters in the air, smashed the window of the wooden house behind her, and fell to the ground

The severe pain made Sally unable to utter a sound at all, and thanks to her releasing the "Holy Shield" in advance, otherwise, this blow might directly kill her.

But even if she didn't lose her life at this time, Sally felt that she was not far away from death—her whole body was in pain, and she wanted to raise her hand, but found that she couldn't even move her fingers. All that could be heard were shouts and battle sounds from outside the house, mixed with the screams of soldiers after being hit by shadow spells.

Opening her eyes wide, Sally found that there were no stoves, hanging cheese, bacon or rusty scythes that should be found in an ordinary farmer's house. Instead, there were two huge bookshelves occupying the wall...

In this day and age, even ordinary aristocrats' homes may not see so many books, let alone an inconspicuous residence in a village? Normally, Sally would have checked carefully because of doubts in her heart, but at this time she didn't have such thoughts at all... because the shouting outside the window proved that her current situation was already extremely dangerous:

"To protect the captain"

"Stop them—"

"sip"

A certain body suddenly hit the wall next to the window, the shouting stopped abruptly, and some dust even fell in the room because of the shock, Sally raised her head pale... She already understood that the enemy seemed to be coming for her

Sally took a deep breath and wanted to stand up, but found that her right arm was unable to move due to a dislocated shoulder, and her left hand drew the dagger from her waist. Before she could make any other movements, the wooden door next to her was kicked hard Kick away.

The guy in the "Rosate Cross" priest's cassock walked into the room with his eyes slightly squinted, staring straight at Sally who hadn't gotten up yet. He was surprised at first, and then his face was full of jokes: "White sickle... tsk tsk, it seems that I'm waiting It’s worth it for so long.”

"Meet the judgment of the Viper God, heretic."

The shadow elements between the other party's hands suddenly condensed, and after saying these words calmly, he cast "Shadow Arrow" at Sally who had no resistance—

Sally involuntarily closed her eyes...

"Om..."

"Snapped"

There was a flash of light in front of my eyes, but the expected pain did not appear.

"What?"

The enemy in front of her exclaimed, Sally opened her eyes in a trance, and saw a hemispherical shield with runes floating in front of her...

What is this?

Sally froze in place, but then noticed a pulsating red color appearing on the side of her field of vision.

Afterwards, the blue light illuminated the dark room, violent elemental fluctuations swept everything suddenly, and the "rumbling" explosion made the whole ground shake, Sally stretched out her hand involuntarily to cover her eyes, until three seconds later , all this seems to have gradually subsided...

Putting down her arms, Sally gasped in shock at what she saw: the wall just now disappeared together with the wooden doors, windows and the roof above.

And the instigator at the side, behind a shield at this time, whispered in a dazed voice: "The scroll left by mother is so scary..."

Hearing that slightly immature voice, Sally turned her head and asked with a trembling voice, "Cam... Camilla?"

Half a year ago, Sally met Nai Fei on the way to the "Holy Temple", but she never thought that she would meet here at this time, and her life was saved by the other party in such an unimaginable way.

However, Naifei did not respond to her words at all: after the wall disappeared, the scene of blood splattered on the battlefield of hand-to-hand combat was completely displayed in front of her, making Naifei stunned in place...

No matter how many spells and knowledge she has learned, Nai Fei is essentially just a little girl who has never seen the world. Where has she seen such a fierce battle?

The flesh and blood of the body, the screaming soldiers, and the shadow arrows shooting around have completely shocked her, and she even lost the ability to think for a while.

Seeing this scene, Sally didn't know where the strength came from, she just gritted her teeth and endured the pain to stand up from the ground, rushed to Naifei in two steps, grabbed the cold little hand and pushed her to the corner beside her.

"Hide here and don't move"

Sally gritted her teeth and overturned the wooden chair to block Naifei's body, but she didn't notice that the little girl's eyes had quickly regained her composure, and she was no longer as stiff as it was a few seconds ago.

"Snapped"

A shadow arrow pierced a hole in the wall, Sally raised her hand to block the splashing sawdust, turned around and wanted to leave the room, but just two steps away, she heard Nefei's voice behind her: "Big sister, The potion on the third row of the bookshelf...you might use it"

Turning her gaze, Sally immediately saw a dark blue Erlenmeyer bottle, and from the color of the potion, she immediately judged that it was a mana potion

Sally didn't know why Nephi knew that she lacked mana, and she didn't have time to distinguish the authenticity of this potion... She turned her head and found that the enemies outside were completely surrounding her team

At this moment, there was no choice left, so Sally immediately picked up the potion and took it "gudong gudong". The instant burning sensation on her body made Sally confirm her judgment - after the potion took effect, the mana value quickly began to recover, Although not much, it was enough for her to face the next battle.

Raising her hand to cast the "Recovery Technique" for herself, Sally took a deep breath, stepped out of the wooden house, and immediately cast "Holy Shield", "Intermediate Healing Technique" and three or four blessing spells on the surrounding team members.

With just an instant reaction, it can be seen that Sally's title of "White Scythe" is definitely not in vain. She just cast seven magic spells in succession, and the defense line that was about to collapse immediately stopped the decline.

"Shield defense"

"Shield Ready"

Sally's order forcibly stabilized the morale of the fleeing team. Because of her outstanding talent in "buffing spells", several of her powerful boosting spells immediately overwhelmed the strength of the men holding swords and shields. doubled, and even knocked down two nearby Shadow Priests on the spot...

With one person driving the counterattack rhythm of the entire team, Sally's ability to grasp the battlefield is undoubtedly prominent at this time, but there are too many enemies after all. In order to avoid the fate of being encircled, Sally understands that she can only choose to fight and retreat.

She glanced behind her to confirm that no one had noticed Naifei who was hiding in the corner, and immediately ordered loudly: "Shrink the front and go north."

"After the shield is broken, the magician blesses the defense, pay attention to cover"

The team of nearly a hundred people lost more than 20 people in just a few minutes, but when Sally organized a counterattack, the casualties were immediately reduced by half, and the team was able to move slowly under the protection of the formation, even if the enemy's cavalry Charged left and right, they also relied on the cover of the village buildings to never stop.

All this seemed to be going smoothly, but just as Sally walked thirty or forty meters with the team, she stopped again because of a team that appeared in front of her.

Having just regained some confidence, she narrowed her eyes slightly and clenched her fists involuntarily.

Less than 100 meters away, Cardinal Goethe, holding the "Kiss of the Viper" in his hand, was riding on his horse and looked over.
