Bang!

A throwing spear suddenly shot from the Hulk warriors, and suddenly crossed a distance of more than 100 meters to Hathaway.

"Bright Holy Tower!"

A tower-shaped light shield filled with divine power enveloped Hathaway and the Unicorn King, and the spear stabbed the light mask with a 'ding' and immediately bounced high.

At the same time, only a 'boom' sound was heard in the air, and countless oval magic missiles were shot overwhelmingly in this direction, covering Hathaway and the surrounding area of hundreds of meters, and even their own warriors no longer cared about it, which shows how deep the resentment of those remaining battle mages was towards Hathaway.

In the attack just now, the three hundred Hulk warriors and a group of mid- and low-level battle mages were almost all wiped out, and this pair of underground coalition forces, which were already overstretched, were like adding fuel to the fire.

The magic missile is not even a mid-level spell, but in the hands of these battle mages, not only is the speed and density terrifying, but its power is far superior to that of the same level spells cast by low-level mages.

"Veteran, is there anything you can do?"

Hathaway's face changed drastically, and a conscious thought came out anxiously...... Although this spell didn't do much damage to her, the city defense soldiers and barbarian warriors around her didn't have that strong defense, and once these magic missiles were implemented, the casualties were unimaginable, and her existing spells and magic skills didn't seem to be enough to resist spell attacks in a wide area.

Even the wise can make mistakes.

According to Hathaway's intelligence, there are not many high-ranking samurai and mages in this retreating underground coalition army. Although the number of people is relatively large, it is still very easy to handle under the prepared resistance. But she never expected that there would be more than a dozen mid-to-high-level battle mages hidden in this team, so she could only ask the veterans for help...... She knew that this guy had a strong voyeuristic fetish for fighting, and maybe he would have fun at this time.

"Well, there's a sacred refuge." The veteran said slowly.

He had a lot of contact with Hathaway, and he knew that this little girl didn't have any firm beliefs at all, but she liked to use magic at all. In fact, he has always been reluctant to teach Hathaway magic happily. is worried that she is too dependent on divine magic and has slowed down her own cultivation, but the current situation, of course, is exceptional...... A golden halo erupted from Hathaway.

Holy Sanctuary!!

This is a mass protection spell. A layer of pale golden light shrouded it for hundreds of miles. Including those Hulk warriors who were spoonful stewed by the battle mages. It's all protected.

Rumble......

A deafening explosion rang out, but the pale golden light only shook slightly, and it didn't break at all.

Call~

In the light building. Not only did the Cordillera defenders breathe a sigh of relief, but even the Hulk warriors who had been abandoned by their own people breathed a sigh of relief, so it sounded like a gust of wind, and for a moment everyone stopped fighting, not knowing whether to continue attacking in this situation.

"Withdraw!"

Hathaway gave a loud command, and then cast the 'Dark Tides'...... This is a third-level illusion of the dark system, and all the underground coalition forces shrouded in darkness have fallen into the illusion for a while, and those battle mages are busy disarming the illusion and defense. The city defense forces led by the Cordillera took the opportunity to retreat quickly.

The troops had already arranged a simple pontoon bridge over the Qingliu River, and the infantry hurriedly crossed the river from the bridge, while the cavalry urged their mounts to jump into the river, causing a large splash of water, and thousands of troops and horses crossed the river, which was quite spectacular for a while.

"My lord, the underground coalition has broken through your magic barrier and is chasing after you." A vulture knight flew above Hathaway and shouted.

"Continue to monitor and report on enemy movements at any time." Hathaway commanded loudly.

In fact, if it were possible, she would rather inflict these underground coalition forces on the Dark Regions. But the defeated army went straight to the line of Lecton, Blanca, which had an important place in her post-war reconstruction plan, and much work was already underway, and the underground coalition must not be allowed to derail her plans.

The plan of this operation was to delay the footsteps of the underground coalition forces as much as possible and lay an ambush under the Qingliu River, and as far as the current situation was concerned, Yiqiē was progressing smoothly, as long as those underground coalition forces could go down the river to catch up with them.

The more critical the time, the more it can show the excellence of a team. Generally speaking, retreat is the most test of an army, whether it is true or false, as long as the team retreats, the people's hearts are easy to disperse, at this time if the enemy shouts a few more words, the retreat may immediately turn into a rout. But this was not the case with the Cordillera leading the city defenses, and every soldier was so energetic that the commanders had to force them to throw down some of their equipment and make a mess of wolf bèi, lest the underground coalition forces not be fooled.

It wasn't long before the last of the Cordillera soldiers stepped onto the opposite bank, and at the sound of an order, the improvised pontoon bridges had been destroyed to the point that only a few broken slabs were left floating in the river, and the vanguard of the underground coalition could already be seen on the opposite bank.

"Don't stop, everyone, keep retreating!"

An officer, after tidying up the formation of the soldiers, ordered the troops to continue their retreat, and a cloud of dust rose as the procession continued to run in the direction of the city of Lekton.

"Chase! Those despicable humans must not be allowed to escape! "The commander of the underground coalition that led the team was already angry, and he couldn't wait to find that human army to pieces.

The Hulk, though large but not clumsy, strode down the riverbank and rushed to the opposite bank.

For the tall and long-legged Hulks, such a river is nothing more than a stream of water for them, and they can't even fill their waists when they walk in.

"Move fast!" The Hulk Commander urged, seeing that the soldiers of the human army in front of him were getting farther and farther away, and the soldiers of the underground coalition could no longer care about so much, and rushed down the river embankment one after another...... Suddenly, the river was full of black figures, and those soldiers raised their weapons one after another. It looks like throwing your hands up in surrender.

The water of the Qingliu River is not very deep, but the river surface is very wide, more than 200 meters. The kobold warriors were the first to descend the river, and the striker had climbed ashore and, after looking around, signaled to the side that it was safe.

"Your Excellency, let's cross the river too." The commander said to the dozen battle mages beside him.

"Hmm."

One of the high-ranking mages at the head nodded, and the group destroyed their mounts and descended the river embankment, and the remaining underground coalition warriors also began to cross the river.

in the sky. Two small black dots hovered high in the sky. The knight on the back of the vulture observes the movements of the enemy forces below. When the Chinese army of the underground coalition army also began to cross the river, one of the knights untied a flashlight-like thing from his waist, and pointed the cylinder in the direction of the upper reaches of the Qingliu River.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three green magic flares flew out one after another, and only slowly fell after flying more than a hundred meters.

Thundered......

An earth-shattering sound came from the upper reaches of the Qingliu River...... When it first started. It's not loud. It was almost muffled by the sound of thousands of troops crossing the river. But gradually. The one with the keen sense of hearing noticed that something was wrong, and the whole river seemed to begin to shake except for the terrible sound that grew louder and louder.

The Hulk Commander's face turned pale. He shouted hoarsely, "Go ashore!!" Immediately ashore!! ”

As he shouted, he turned his mount...... It's just that there are soldiers behind him, where can he get by. The people around were a little stunned, wondering what was wrong with this commander?

Thundered~

The voice was closer, and even the dullest people knew that something was wrong, and they looked in panic in the direction from which the voice came. I saw a white stream of water rushing unscrupulously in the riverbed, and then I reacted.

Whew~Whew~

A few high-level battle mages were the simplest, flying directly from their mounts, and the most regrettable thing they now might be that they didn't fly across the river in time to consolidate their positions there.

Rumble~~

The water continued to surge relentlessly, obscuring the nearest Hulk warrior in one fell swoop...... Giants nearly four meters tall, in the face of the forces of nature, their bravery can only be described as a joke, and many people were swept away before they had time to shout. This kind of turbulent wave slapped on the body, which was tantamount to being smashed by a heavy hammer, and when some fighters were washed away, their bodies showed a strange folded shape, and it is estimated that the bones in the body did not know how many were broken.

Thundered~

Another roar sounded, and the faces of all the underground coalition forces were miserable, and thunder and lightning that were thicker than their arms raged in the sky above the Qingliu River, although those battle mages who flew into the air had already cast their shields, but there were still several middle-level mages whose shields were shattered by the lightning in an instant, and the whole person was wrapped in an arc and fell into the Qingliu River and never got up again.

The worst thing is the soldiers in the Qingliu River...... Water is capable of conducting electricity, and the fifth-level spell 'Thunderbolt Hell Sea' shrouded a large section of the river, and the thunder and lightning fell into the water, forming an artificial thunder pool in an instant, and what the flesh and blood creatures inside could become, it can be imagined!

"Kill!"

On the other side of the river, before the underground coalition troops who had just landed on the shore had time to rejoice for themselves, they only heard a sudden shouting of killing around them, only to see the dust flying, and stout figures waved out of the ground, waving their battle axes and slashing at them...... That's right, these evil stars come out of the ground.

These barbarian warriors were adept at digging pits and setting up ambushes, and they lay down in pre-dug pits with their weapons, covered with turf and floating earth, and it was impossible to see them without looking closely. Those enemy troops who had just landed only searched the woods and grasses that were easy to hide people, and where would they think that there were deadly enemies hiding beside them, especially after the water was released upstream, their attention was calmed by the flood and the miserable appearance of their comrades, and the clinker turned between their elbows and armpits.

The one who released the magic was, of course, Hathaway, and after she withdrew with the troops, she rode the Sky Song to approach from the sky and stealthily approach, and when those battle mages took off, they suddenly attacked...... As she attacked, an ambush slashed and slashed not only at the ashore enemies, but also with a raindown of crossbow bolts into the river, killing those who had escaped by magic.

"Frozen Realm!"

Hathaway screamed, the temperature between heaven and earth plummeted, the river froze rapidly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and the soldiers who survived the thunder were able to struggle at first, but gradually they could not move, and were frozen in the ice.

"Shameless!"

Several high-level battle mages who survived the disaster all cast spells to attack Hathaway...... Suddenly, with a dragon groan, a huge figure appeared in front of them, resisting all spell attacks.

"Abyssal Evil Dragon?!"

Several battle mages recognized the dragon beast in front of them, but before they could figure out why this abyssal evil dragon appeared here, a huge dragon claw with purple-black arcs of electricity was like a mountain pouring down on them.

Burst!

On the ice, the Hulk Commander's eyes widened like bells, and three golden rings lit up on his body...... Just now, he was spared with this gold-level strength and a magic armor, but his lieutenant and personal guards were not so lucky. At this time, seeing the few remaining high-level battle mages scribbling blood under the dragon's claws, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

"Human! Go to hell! ”

He roared loudly, his feet on the ice, and in the 'click' of shattering, his body soared into the sky like a rocket...... One by one, the rings on his body shattered, turning into golden flames, spreading out like wings behind him, flying towards Hathaway.

Broken Rings!

At the cost of shattering the ring, he concentrated all his fighting energy to fight to the death. Regardless of whether or not this blow kills Hathaway, he will either explode and die or become a waste...... Well, there's one more one more - falling to the ground and dying.

"Your Excellency!"

"Lord Marquis!"

Several officers immediately shouted loudly, and several nearby vulture knights also rushed over, trying to cover Hathaway with their bodies...... In front of a high-level golden warrior who was playing with his life, they really didn't have enough to use.

Shout~

There seemed to be a sound of something as thin as it broke through the air, and the Hulk Commander only felt as if a black light flashed in front of him, and then fell into darkness...... To outsiders, it was a black light that flew out of the lord's sleeve and slashed the golden hulk in two.

The death of the Hulk Commander became the last grass that broke the camel's back. Although there were still nearly a thousand soldiers of the underground coalition on the other side of the river at this time, their fighting spirit was completely lost at this time, and they only wanted to escape from here as much as possible.

The army of defeated generals is unspeakably brave, and the underground coalition army at this time is exactly like this. Hathaway was also relieved by the terrified flight of the underground coalition forces, and she quietly ordered the soldiers to stop the pursuit and let the coalition fighters escape. Now the soldiers on their side no longer have the strength to fight again, and if they push these enemies too hard, they are afraid that the situation will change.

A thousand fighters of the underground coalition who have no fighting spirit are not any threat. Hathaway wasn't worried about them getting herself in trouble later. Now she had to think about how to write a battle report and how to stabilize the area she had just occupied. (To be continued......)
