Chapter 58: Wolves Invade
The town can't hold it anymore.
Holding the longbow in his hand, Clark looked at the blackened wolves outside, gritting his teeth and a sad expression on his face. Those damn monsters are already rushing up the wall, and they can't handle these monsters themselves. He turned his head and looked to his side, where his militia was already in disarray. Although it is said that there is the protection of the wall, the flames spit out by those black wolves still burn many people, and these flames with magical power are almost deadly to ordinary people!
"It's over here."
Clark let out a long sigh, then turned his head to look at a young girl not far away. She had curly blond hair, and the white robe she was wearing was already stained with crimson blood and dust. But even so, the girl still tried hard to heal the wounded around her, only to see the girl stretch out her hand, and a faint white light soon appeared, enveloping the bodies of the wounded, dispelling the black mist wrapped around their bodies. Under the light of this holy light, the wounded who had painful expressions on their faces gradually calmed down, but Clark knew that these were just a drop in the bucket.
"Little girl, get out of here!"
Clark sighed, looked at the girl beside him, and spoke.
"It's too late, you don't have to die here with us! This is our home and you are just a traveler! β
"But I'm a priest, a priest of the Temple of Order!"
Hearing Clark's words, the blonde girl reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and shook her head. Her voice was a little hoarse, even trembling, but even so, the girl still insisted on not leaving.
"It's my duty to guard order and fight Chaos! I'm not going to run away! β
"Hey........."
Hearing the girl's answer, Clark sighed, he raised the longbow in his hand, and looked down again, at this moment the black wolves had rushed under the wall, they raised their heads, opened their mouths above the wall, and spat out bright red flames. The scorching heat rushed over his face, so much so that even Clark had to step back away, barely able to resist the heat that melted even his skin. But even then, the stone walls around him began to soften after being scorched by the flames, and began to melt like cream.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Clarke's face turned pale, these black wolves were not ordinary beasts, but demonic beasts. On this continent, the so-called demonic beasts are basically creatures that have been infected and mutated by the magic of chaos. Their attacks are naturally not pure physical attacks, in fact, every blow of these magical beasts carries the power of chaos. If you are hit, you will be immediately infected by the magic of Chaos, and then die a tragic death and turn into a monster.
If it weren't for the priest lady of this Order Sanctuary who happened to stay here, I'm afraid the town would not be able to support it now, and it would have been completely destroyed in the first wave of black wolf attacks.
But now.........
"You guys, take her away at once!"
Clark made a decision without hesitation, he gestured to the two soldiers beside him, and gave a serious order.
"This young lady is a priest of the temple, and there is no room for error! You take her to the docks and leave on the Redfish! Remember, even if it is to fight for your life, you must protect the safety of this young lady, understand?! β
"Yes!!"
Hearing Clark's order, the two soldiers beside him nodded, and then walked over to the priest girl, trying to pull her up. But perceiving their actions, the priest girl's face also changed drastically.
"You can't do this, as long as we persevere, we will definitely be saved, you can't give up........."
"Thank you, miss, but we know there's no point in holding on."
Facing the priest girl's words, Clark showed a wry smile.
"Sweetwater is just a small town, even if we send out a call for help, I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize people on the front line now, to be honest, I am very grateful to you. Because you're here, we're able to evacuate everyone else, or we're afraid we'll fall here on the first night these black wolves come. But now, our families have left here safely, we have no regrets, let's fight for our homeland until the last moment! β
"You ........."
Hearing this, the priest girl bit her lip and didn't know what to say. Clarke, on the other hand, turned his back to her, and then bent his bow again, aiming at the wolves below.
"Let's go! You helped us save our family, and it's time for us to reciprocate! Miss, you are still young, your life is still long! β
"........."
Hearing Clark's words, the priest girl obviously wanted to say something, but at this moment, the two soldiers had already come to her. Looking at their resolute and pale faces, the priest girl couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, she reached out and held the scepter in her hand tightly, as if she was thinking about something.
But just then, the unexpected happened!
"Whewββββ!!"
A shrill wolf howl rang out, almost enveloping the entire town. Hearing this voice, Clark and the priest girl both changed their faces slightly, and they hurriedly turned their heads to look at the place where the wolf howl came from, and then they were surprised to see that on the hill not far behind this group of black wolves, a huge black wolf was squatting there, looking up to the sky and howling!
"Wolf ........."
Looking at this huge black wolf, which was two or three meters tall, Clark's face instantly turned pale, and the longbow in his hand fell to the ground with a "click". As an experienced hunter from the northern country, he certainly knows how terrifying the head wolf is. But even Clark had never seen a real head wolf. You know, in the Northland, the black wolf has always been nothing more than a legend on the pillow of children and a worried whisper of hunters, but when it does appear in front of you, it's a different sight.
"Whewβββββ!!"
Hearing the howl of the head wolf, those black wolves who were originally chaotic also raised their heads at this moment and let out echoing howls. Then their attack suddenly became more and more fierce!
"Boom!!"
One by one, the black wolves frantically slammed into the wall in front of them, they didn't even care about their own safety, and rushed straight towards the wall like crazy, even if they hit their heads and broke the bloodstream. Not to mention that the black wolf itself is extremely hard, and it is simply impossible for a blow of this magnitude to cause real damage to them.
But for the militia on the wall, it was the last straw that crushed them. Under the reckless impact of the wolves, the wall under their feet began to shake sharply, and even a few unlucky guys fell directly from the wall on their feet, and they didn't even have time to let out a scream, they were directly bitten by the black wolves who flew up in mid-air, and then tore into pieces.
Seeing this scene, the priest girl's expression became more and more resolute, she held the scepter in her hand tightly, and looked at the tragedy outside with uncertain eyes. As she watched the militiamen scream and fall to the wall and be torn to pieces, a look of determination appeared in the priest girl's eyes, and then, as if she had made a decision, she clenched the scepter in her hand and placed it on her chest.
But at this moment, suddenly, a holy white beam of light fell from the sky.
