Chapter 2700 Despair
The atmosphere of despair, like ink, infected everyone's heart.
I looked at the black-robed humanoid monster walking slowly with anxiety in my heart, my brows furrowed tightly.
At this moment, a gentle touch came from my fingertips. I turned around and saw Cagalli holding my hand with a nervous look on her face. At this time, she no longer looked like the queen she had always been. More like a helpless little girl.
Trying to force out a smile, I comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, you'll be fine."
Having said that, my heart was pounding nervously, but my palms were not yet sweaty, so my nervousness was not easily noticeable.
Gritting my teeth, I felt that I could no longer be controlled by fear, so I immediately issued an order: "All magicians except the water element magicians, stand by collectively and prepare to attack!"
More than a thousand magicians raised their magic wands, waiting for my order.
The next second, fire element magic, wind element magic, earth element magic, thunder element magic, light element magic, dark element magic, etc., all kinds of magic crackled like fireworks towards the robed humanoid monster in the distance.
Really, flames and wind blades flew together, thunder and lightning, light and shadow.
After the smoke dissipated, people were surprised to find that all the humanoid monsters in robes, including the robes, were unharmed!
Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.
After a few seconds, someone reacted and once again made depressing words of despair, and then despair spread again.
Cagalli also asked me in fear: "Xiaoyi, what should I do?"
What to do, what to do?
Although I didn’t answer Cagalli’s question, in fact, I asked myself over and over in my heart: What should I do?
Just when despair spread into everyone's heart, a rough voice sounded: "Go up and fight them!"
After saying that, a man with the same rough appearance and voice rushed out with a big knife in his hand.
Behind him, nearly a hundred men followed one after another.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Come back! Come back quickly!"
When I came back to my senses, I quickly shouted hello and tried to call them back.
Although I don't know how powerful the robed humanoid is, I know very well that rushing out like this is tantamount to committing suicide.
It does seem heroic to die generously, but the problem is that it is not worth it, not at all!
As long as you are alive, you will definitely have a chance to defeat the opponent. Even if you really have no chance, as long as you are still alive, there is hope!
So, I long for them to be alive.
However, the reality was like a heavy hammer, which made me sad and helpless.
This group of adventurers has long been overwhelmed by despair. In fact, they are not warriors who are not afraid of life and death, but when their rationality is lost and their thoughts are broken, the madness hidden in their hearts begins to grow, and continues to grow crazily.
Until madness completely buries reason, just like at this moment, they forget that their strength is insignificant to the robed humanoid monster, and they only want to lead the charge.
When bronze meets the king, destruction becomes inevitable.
The scythe of the robed humanoid monster is very long, just like the scythe of death in Western movies. With a desperate black light, it silently cuts across the adventurer's body.
The adventurers who were hit did not know that they were dead and were still charging wildly. However, as they ran, they found that their legs seemed to disappear. Yes, they disappeared out of thin air without any warning.
Lowering their heads and looking at the lower body, they suddenly discovered that the legs had really disappeared. However, they did not disappear in the true sense, but separated from the lower body and stayed not far behind them.
Immediately afterwards, they found that their thoughts had become ethereal, and everything in front of them gradually became blurred.
Dozens of adventurers were killed and injured in the blink of an eye. The remaining dozens of adventurers who were still charging suddenly came to their senses and looked at the corpses in front of them and not far away, as well as a bunch of painful and twisted corpses in horror. Here, the dying struggler is about to turn into a corpse.
Fear instantly brought their collapsed consciousness back. After a moment of sluggishness, they screamed and ran back, running faster and more crazily than when they rushed past.
The robed humanoids did not intercept them halfway, but let them leave. It seemed that to them, these humans would become their dead souls sooner or later, and there was no difference between killing them sooner or later.
The adventurers of all races who returned to the expedition did not bring courage to the expedition. On the contrary, they brought greater panic.
If it were normal times, these guys would have been arrested and sent to a detention center to wait for disposal. However, this is an extraordinary period, and no other unnecessary actions should be done except to stabilize the morale of the military.
"Don't panic, everyone! Don't panic! The robed monster moves very slowly, and it will take a long time before it reaches us! We can try to attack first, and if it doesn't work, we can consider retreating!"
The deputy commander-in-chief, a young man from the Fox tribe, shouted loudly.
Later, the commander-in-chief repeated the same pattern.
The panicked crowd finally calmed down, but there were still desperate wailings and depressing remarks in a small area.
But compared with just now, the environment is much better.
"Attention all! Long-range shooters gather! Prepare! Attack!"
Following the command from the commander-in-chief, countless arrows with the power of transformation fell like a torrential rain, enveloping the robed humanoid monster, but they were still unable to hurt it at all.
Standing in the distance, I stared into the distance, closely watching the reaction at the moment when the arrow collided with the robed humanoid.
I pulled Cagalli's hand, pointed into the distance, and whispered: "Look, the moment the arrow came into contact with the robed monster, a dim gray light spot flashed."
Cagalli blinked, stared carefully, and noticed something unusual. She looked solemnly and said, "Why is this happening?"
I shook my head: "I don't know, but I guess it's probably similar to a magic barrier."
"Magic barrier?" Cagalli thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes widened and she said, "Could it be that these monsters are also priests?"
"No, they are no longer priests now, but monsters, but I suspect that they may have been priests in the past, or they were priests in their lifetime."
Cagalli took a breath and said with a gloomy face, "You mean, they were once humans?"
I nodded seriously: "I think so, just look at the way they move and the state of their movements."
Cagalli observed carefully for a while, then covered her mouth with her little hand and said in surprise: "It really looks like that, so what should we do?"
"I don't know." I shook my head: "I have never had the experience of fighting against a human being who is stronger than the country."
