21 [Red Dragon Resolving Crisis]
The group was shocked, and before Oryx could say anything, Alexandros Mograini yelled directly: "Hurry up! ”
Everyone ran away, and Illusia, who had been left behind and used the magic image stone to record the gargoyle in the air, was also pale with fright, and hurriedly followed.
Looking around, it would be nice to have a cave to hide into, or a small forest to provide cover, but there was no shelter at all around it in the snowfield.
There were hundreds of gargoyles, and the most powerful of them was the legendary paladin Alexandros Mograini, but not to mention that he wasn't the one who held the "Ember Bringer" with a thousand, and even if he were, he couldn't protect the others.
Oryx already had a judgment in his mind, and I am afraid that his original guess was correct. Some time ago, a certain exploration team encountered an accident. The Lich King is fully aware of the Prophecy, and these gargoyles have come to search for him!
He hurriedly took out the "Holy Covenant" and looked at it, hoping to find a solution to the crisis.

There's nothing useful about it!
Let Illusia cast a spell to pass everyone away? It's a joke, it's not a game! How is it possible that everyone will have a near-instantaneous group teleportation spell? If that were the case, Antonidas, who developed this magic, would not be called a rare all-rounder in the history of human magic—the brilliant leader of Dalaran had no previous achievements in the field of protective magic—and Giananna Proudmore, who learned this spell at the age of twenty-four, would not be called the most gifted apprentice of the younger generation.
This kind of profound spell is simply not something that the current Illusia can master. She could have opened the portal, but the time it took to prepare for a series of spells, including the weaving of the spell model, was enough for the gargoyles to tear the crowd apart ten times.
"Did anyone hear it, did anyone hear it? We have been attacked by a large number of undead creatures and are in dire need of reinforcements, and the target location is ...... Oops, just locate the communication signal! Illusia used the magic communication stone to ask for help as she ran, her tone was extremely anxious, but she was not panicked, and she kept using magic to speed up everyone's running.
It's not that she can't do it, it's really such a critical situation that not everyone has experienced.
Being able to use magic does not mean that you can use magic in battle. In this era, most of the Dalarans, except for those who often perform important tasks, have grown up in ivory towers, and have almost no experience in using magic to defend against enemies.
It's very good that she can do this.
The gargoyle was getting closer, and a sharp hiss could be heard clearly coming from behind.
The other two paladins in the team quickly exchanged glances, knowing that this catastrophe could not be avoided, without any generous words, they directly stopped, reflexively drew their weapons, and chose to use their lives to buy time for the robe to escape.
Alexandros Mograini saw all this, and didn't play any bloody scenes with them, such as "No, you go quickly, let me stay", but his face became more and more calm. Everyone knows that the most important thing in this group is Orix, the prophet of the Light.
Rather than sacrificing himself, he has a more important task ahead of him, which is to ensure that Aurex returns safe and sound. But he also knew that if reinforcements came later, he would delay the enemy with his life, just like his two colleagues......
Looking back, the gargoyle had already come to the surface, almost clinging to the ground and speeding from the snowfield, and the two paladins were instantly drowned in the wave of gargoyles, without even a small splash.
"We can't run away!"
Alexandros Mograini shouted, and when he turned around and raised his hand, a beam of holy light shot out from his arm, enveloping the gargoyle at the forefront. Thirty or fifty gargoyles rolled up in flesh and blood when they landed, and fell to the ground with the burning sound of "Zizi", some of them turned into hard stone statues before they landed, and some of them directly lost their ability to move.
Hearing this, Orix also gave up the idea of seeking a way out of the predicament from the Book of Time, drew out the war hammer and put it on the ground, firmly grasped the handle of the hammer with both hands, and released the divine energy in his body to the surface of the body to form a barrier to protect himself according to the sacred spell that the original owner had learned, ready to carry the impact.
Holy Shield.
However, this is not a game, and Holy Shield doesn't really make you immune to all damage. Essentially, it was an improvement from the Priest's Mantra: Shield, and it didn't require too much sorcery attainment, after all, a paladin who had invested a lot of time in honing his combat skills couldn't have as much spare time to study divine spells as the Priest.
The level of protection of the Holy Shield is based on the amount of divine energy infused. The deeper the divine spell attainment, the more divine energy it can harness, and the stronger its protection ability. If a top legendary paladin like Uther casts this sacred spell, he may be able to achieve "invincibility" in the narrow sense, or at least resist a large number of attacks from powerhouses of the same level.
But the level of Orrix, not to mention the legendary powerhouse, even those epic paladins who have appeared a few times in the plot and advanced some less important historical processes are not comparable.
At the moment when he was about to make contact with the gargoyle, Alexandros Mograini, who had already been overwhelmed by the gargoyle, actually channeled a large amount of divine energy into his shield. With this strong reinforcement, the holy shield was instantly condensed several times.
In the next second, the gargoyle slammed into Orix's body like a bullet, even if the tendons were broken and fractured, he poured all the kinetic energy on the holy shield, causing the holy shield to ripple violently, causing him to keep retreating, and even plow a small ditch in the snow.
Looking further back, Alexandros Mograini was worthy of being the future Ember Messenger, unscathed, surrounded by the light of holiness, hammering a gargoyle like a gopher. And Iluxia, who was beside her, was also protected by a layer of ice barrier, but the ice was constantly impacted, and a large number of cracks had appeared, and I was afraid that it would collapse soon.
Although the two were under siege, the main target of the gargoyle was clearly not them, but Orrix.
After the initial assault had passed, the gargoyles rose into the air, ready to launch a second dive attack - the Lich King would not spare their lives, this attack was tantamount to killing a thousand enemies and losing 12,000 themselves, but it was the most effective.
A sore Oryx was just about to make a move, when he heard a dragon's groan echo across the field, and when he looked up, there was a cloud of light in the sky that distorted the light, so that it was impossible to see the huge figure in disguise swooping down until he looked closely.
In the process of diving, the behemoth broke away from the obscure, as if someone was in a dragon-shaped silhouette, constantly filling in red paint. Its wings cover the sky and the sun, and its size is huge, and it is actually a full-grown red dragon!
