16 Retreat
Thea couldn't remember how many times she'd cast massive dispersals, but she was finally feeling a little overwhelmed now. She gritted her teeth, prayed again and waved her hand softly, and another dispersal spell poured out of her trembling fingertips. After casting this dispel, Xia gasped softly, and her mental exhaustion made it difficult for her to even stand. She felt her body uncontrollable and involuntarily took a step back, wanting to lean against the wall. A strong hand held her from behind.
Thea turned her head to see Simon's obscure face.
"What's wrong with you?" Thea tried to squeeze a smile out of him.
"You're so stupid to do this," Simon whispered in her ear with a cold face, "just protect yourself." It's a small thing for you to overdraw your energy, but then you will be targeted by the other side. Healers found on the battlefield will die quickly. ”
Shia blinked inexplicably.
Simon looked at her clear and ignorant eyes and sighed slightly. He had brought her to the wall, just so that he could keep her up close. But he didn't expect her to remember and use the holy light so skillfully to assist the soldiers on the battlefield, he really underestimated her.
Now what he feared happened. Simon glanced under the city walls, and the blood-colored warriors who had been rushing upwards regardless of their lives had slowed down their rhythm and began to gradually turn their main forces to the side gate to attack the gate of the urn city. At the same time, several rudimentary battering rams, which had just been made, also appeared on the battlefield, and although the magic apprentices had tried their best to throw fireballs at the battering rams, it was obvious that the effect was not great. Simon looked up, his long black hair undulating as the wind suddenly curled up by the gathering of magic. Directly in front of the Urn City, he could clearly feel the familiar magical elements converging in that direction, a prelude to unleashing large-scale spells.
"My lord, give up the urn city first and retreat backwards!" With a swing of his sword, Segard slashed down yet another Scarlet warrior who had climbed the wall, and walked towards the Saimen, shouting, "Their numbers and spells are too superior. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out the arrival of reinforcements. ”
Simon looked worriedly at a tired Shia, who looked at him and smiled weakly back.
"Retreat!" Goalkeeper Sia pushes into Segaard's arms. "Take her with you!"
Shia was dumbfounded. "What about you?"
Simon pursed his lips, his already bloodless lips now looking even paler. He reached into the pouch and pulled out his staff. As the staff was taken out of the other dimension little by little, Shia, who saw the staff in its full form, covered her mouth in surprise.
The mere mere mere look at the shape of this eerie staff is intimidating. It resembles a lifelike Cerberus with its tail stretched straight and extended. It should be the head of the staff, four spikes like claws surrounding the head of Cerberus with a wide mouth and a hideous expression, sharp teeth and glowing green eyes as if ready to choose someone to devour at any time, and the four tentacles on its belly and back, trying to draw magic from the air, are writhing like living creatures. The staff was surrounded by a thick aura of darkness, and just looking at it made people feel so heavy that they couldn't breathe.
"Oh my God! Zardum, the Devourer's Staff! Sia heard a low, awe-struck exclamation from Segard. Then she felt herself being picked up by Segard's swift back, almost like a sack on his shoulder.
"Brothers, get out! Withdraw to the walls! Segard roared as he led her backwards.
Thea struggled to prop up her head and looked at Simon standing still in the retreating crowd. One undead guard after another consciously bypassed him, hurried past Segard, who was carrying her on his back, and retreated towards the main wall. She slapped Segard on the back hard, "What about Simon?" Won't he retreat with us? ”
Segard didn't look back, "Lord Simon has prepared tactics from the beginning, and the adult's decision to stay naturally has his intentions. ”
But how many Scarlet warriors and mages are there in one person?
"No!" Thea cried out in panic, "Put me down, I'm a priest, I'll stay and help him." ”
"Miss, you must come with me, this is Lord Simon's order!" Segard's footsteps did not stop in the slightest, and there was not even tension in his tone. "And be assured that Lord Simon, Zardum, the master of the Devourer's Staff, will not be so easily defeated.
"But......" Thea looked at Simon firmly, as if she felt something, Simon turned her head and smiled at her through the crowd, her eyes were sparkling, and her eyes were so beautiful that she was stunned and swayed.
By the time Thea came to her senses, she found that her feet had stepped on the ground of the main wall. She wandered aimlessly, and was surprised to find that under the walls behind her, she saw Mick and Vicky, who had long since disappeared from the beginning of the war. She hurried down the wall.
"Mick!" Xia rushed over and grabbed Mick's hand, I don't know if it was because of force or panic, she found that her hand was trembling slightly in disobedience, "Simon is now staying in the urn city after the break, what to do, I'm scared." Do you have any ideas? ”
"Then why don't you stay too, what's the use of talking here now about worrying!" Thea followed the sound, Vicky looked at her unabashedly hostile, she held a small one-handed hammer in her hand, seeing Thea's gaze, she tilted her head slightly, and gently tapped her other hand with the small hammer with one hand, and continued defiantly. "Isn't it? Am I wrong? ”
"Vicky, don't say a word! Now it's a war, not a family ball. Mick stopped Vicky. Vicky, who was reprimanded, glared at Mick angrily, and walked up the aisle where Xia had just come down to the city wall, and when she passed Xia, she hit her the shoulder, as if intentionally or unintentionally.
Thea stumbled, but luckily Mick grabbed her with a quick hand. Mick also looked in a bad mood, but she tried to keep her emotions in check as she looked at Thea. She said softly, "Thea, Mentor Simon is a powerful warlock, you have to believe that he will be fine, and besides, we have a secret weapon?" With that, she pointed to the open space behind her, which was tightly covered by draperies.
Thea looked at the secret weapon in disbelief, took a few steps closer, and gently reached out with her fingers, pinching the corner of the curtain.
Just as she was about to lift the curtain, a sudden scream, a roar, mixed with a loud explosion made Thea look up in disbelief.
She looked at the sky in front of her Urn City, the culprit who caused this noise, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, completely forgetting that it was meaningless.
All the people looked at the urn city, and countless sacred fires descended violently, and the brilliant light of the fire danced and reflected on the pale faces of the undead, showing a trace of blood. The roar was so violent that even the ground beneath his feet was trembling in submission.
Segard swallowed dryly, and a low question came out of his unconscious throat, "Lord Simon......?" ”
