Chapter 378 Sacrifice

"Farewell, old man!"

Alpha the Gnoll Queen, grinning grinningly, threw the javelin blessed with the 3-ring divine spell "Lightning Bombardment".

A dazzling flash of light streaked across the sky, pierced Colonel Harrison's chest, and nailed deeply into the grass, and then the arc that shot out densely covered the surrounding ten-foot space, engulfing the four guards together.

The electric current spread throughout the whole body through the armor made of steel, bursting out a series of crackling sparks, and instantly stunned the four young knights with strong physique.

Alpha sneered, shook the Chaos Hammer in his hand, twisted his slender waist and walked towards his prey.

The harsh air flow from the air made her stop in astonishment, and when she looked up, her ferocious face couldn't help but twitched slightly.

"Yoho~ My cute little bird, so you're not dead yet!"

The Gnoll Queen stared at the Yingman hovering above her head with her cold eyes, and raised her left hand to touch the golden collar on her neck, which seemed to trigger the magic emblem engraved on the collar. Melt into the air and disappear without a trace.

With sharp eagle eyes staring at the hill, Joan couldn't tell exactly where Alpha, who had escaped into the "invisible" state, was hiding, but he knew that Alpha must not have gone far, and that was enough for him, so he folded his wings and headed towards the mountain Gang swooped down.

"Tinwé!"

Joan finished preparing to cast the spell while diving at a high speed, and waved a handful of mica powder.

The magic power combined with mica dust turned into a shining cloud, completely covering the top of the hill.

In the seemingly empty bushes, a woman's painful scream suddenly came.

A vague figure covered in glowing dust emerged from the bushes, covering his face with his hands and staggering.

Caught off guard by the "flash dust" attack, Alpha's eyes were red and swollen and tears flowed, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly open them.

Just as she was hastily wiping her eyes, there was a roar behind her, the ground under her feet shook violently, and the sudden shock wave almost knocked her over.

Horror finally appeared on the face of the Gnoll Queen. Enduring the pain, she tried her best to open her eyes wide and looked back. In the vision blurred by tears, a huge half-human, half-tree monster suddenly appeared.

The huge feet with twisted roots sank into the soft grass, and countless radial gullies were split around the feet. The aftershocks caused by the volley fall are still spreading outward in waves, stirring up sand, stones and dust to disperse into the air.

Amazement and confusion flashed alternately on Alpha's face, and for a moment he couldn't figure out where did this murderous treant come from?

The series of events that happened just now quickly flashed through her mind.

First, I saw a Yingman swooping down from the sky, and then I was stabbed in the eye by the "flash dust" cast by the Yingman, and was forced to escape from the invisible state. In the blink of an eye, the Yingman disappeared out of thin air and replaced it in the air. What fell down was a treant that had never been seen before.

Alpha wiped her tears-blurred eyes, and looked up and down at the Treant opposite, whose image contrasted sharply with the Eagle Man. Although it was a little unbelievable, she could only think of one possibility:

"Are you... that little bird just now?"

Joan remained silent, shifting his gaze from Colonel Harrison's chest pierced by the javelin to the ferocious face of the Wolf Queen, and suddenly swung a giant palm instead of answering.

The gust of wind blown by the tree man's giant palm hit his face, Alpha's face changed drastically, and he bent back without thinking, his flexible waist bent into a bow shape, and the giant palm swung in a thrilling way.

However, it was not so easy to dodge the many vines that accompanied the tree man's giant palm to smash through the air, as they whizzed and whipped her body like countless leather whips.

The Gnoll Queen was like a toy doll that was slapped away by the furious little master. She flew across and broke a bush, rolled and fell down the steep hillside, and finally slammed into a huge rock and stopped.

The fall was really hard. Alpha supported the rock with her right hand, and covered her broken forehead with her left hand, and struggled to stand up. The blood gushing from the wound on her forehead stained her face red, making her look even more terrifying.

The severe pain from all over her body made her almost pass out, she clenched her teeth and managed to stay awake. Looking up to the top of the mountain, she saw the terrifying tree man chasing after him with great strides.

Behind her, there was a dense sound of horseshoes coming from far and near. It was the Asa hunting cavalry stationed at the foot of the hill who noticed that the command post on the top of the hill was under attack, and they were urging their horses to come to support.

If the enemy had only one treant, Alpha still had the confidence to fight the opponent, but the Asa cavalry surrounded behind her forced her to suppress her hatred. Compared with seeking revenge on the tree man, saving her life was more important.

"Damn monster, let me let you go today, I will remember this debt, one day I will get it back with interest!"

Alpha cursed in a low voice and activated the magic collar, his body quickly faded until he completely disappeared into the air.

The Gnoll Queen finally threw a venomous shot at the tree man, leaned down and sneaked into the bushes, and quickly fled back to her own army's position under the protection of the "invisibility technique".

Qiao An saw that Alpha was invisible again, and he was too far away from her. He had no time to catch up with her or use "Flash Dust" to break the invisibility, so he had to give up hunting and turn around and return to the top of the mountain.

The magic power of "Branch of Irminthul" was exhausted, and Joan changed from a tree man back to a human form, and quickly ran to Colonel Harrison.

The venerable old man lay quietly in a pool of blood, with both hands tightly grasping the steel gun piercing his chest, his glaring face had lost all color.

Joan stretched out trembling fingers and touched the old man's pulse, and the last hope in his heart was shattered.

Barely restraining the urge to cry, Qiao An smoothed the old man's eyes, silently wishing his soul to rest in peace in another world.

Joan knelt beside Colonel Harrison's body, not only hating the despicable and insidious Jackal Queen, but also deeply blamed himself for not coming back in time to protect Colonel Harrison.

Everything that happened in front of him seemed like a nightmare, and he couldn't help but recall the war outside Delin Town. The scene of Captain Daniel's sacrifice was vivid in his memory, and it still made him feel deeply sad when he recalled it.

In his mind at this moment, the young captain and the old colonel, the two blood-stained figures seemed to merge into one, bringing him double grief.

Joan sat there for a long time, and heard the loud sound of the trumpet.

He recognized that this was the clarion call to celebrate victory, and stood up to look down the mountain to the battlefield.

The wolf group was retreating, and there were hundreds of corpses lying on the river beach shrouded in twilight.

This narrow encounter finally came to an end. The Alfheim Corps won the most glorious victory since it went south, but it also paid a heavy price for it.

After the battle, George Vassar, Nathaniel Green, and Magny Powhatan immediately came to the command post to report the good news to Colonel Harrison, but what awaited them was Joan, who looked depressed , and a cold corpse.

The smiles on the faces of the three froze immediately, followed by shock and grief.
