Chapter 64: Whose Hand Killed the Deer (6)
Polly and Robert endured the pain of their wounds and rushed into the passage again, and behind them were Orison and a few of the lesser wounded Big-Eared Monster soldiers.
After the joy of desperate survival, the former thief and former liar, who fell tired and gasped for breath in the open space outside the gate, suddenly remembered that their mission was not to escape from the castle, but to hold the passage with the half-elf Pete.
So the two gritted their teeth, struggled to get up, and turned back and ran inside the gate.
Orison hesitated for a moment, then followed, bringing a few big-eared monsters who were willing to help.
When they arrived, they saw the magician throwing her magic away.
Then they heard a loud bang in front of them, and they were overturned by the rush of air.
Fortunately, it was the farthest from the center of the explosion, and the damage was minimal, and several people were not injured again, but their minds were a little dizzy, and it took a while to get back up.
In front of them, the three remaining guards and the sorceress were also scrambling to their feet, and several of them were choking on the dust.
Pete, the half-elf, was also struggling, but couldn't stand up due to the injury on his leg.
At this time, in the hall of the castle, the soldiers belonging to the elves were already in chaos, and the terrible information revealed in Ivo's order made the centaurs and pegasus knights who were still congratulating themselves on their immortality panic and chaos again.
Due to the violent explosion and the successful destruction of one of the load-bearing columns, cracks had appeared in the dome of the hall at this time, and from time to time large pieces of building debris fell from the sky, hitting some unlucky guys.
This phenomenon only deepened the fear in the hearts of the centaur and pegasus knights, who were not afraid to fight the enemy face to face to death, but feared being buried alive in the nest, and many soldiers began to disobey orders and rush towards the only place in the hall where they could escape, which was the passage leading to the castle gate.
Some of the officers were also in the crowd on the run, and only Gomos managed to gather some soldiers to protect Ivo as he tried to restore order.
Looking at the chaos in front of him, the elven general regretted his order.
I'm still too impulsive, how can I say these words that will disturb the morale of the army to the soldiers at such a time?
In the current situation, only by maintaining order can we escape smoothly, and it is a mess like this, and the passage is so narrow, I am afraid that everyone will die here.
Ivo closed his eyes in despair, unable to bear to look at them again.
Gomos shouted in vain and gave all kinds of orders, but no one looked at him more.
The first to rush into the passage was a centaur soldier, who had just run the fastest in the charge, was the closest to the passage, and was lucky enough not to take any damage in the explosion.
Knowing what was going to happen, the centaur hesitated for a moment before deciding to flee for his life.
The centaur was calm and sensible, and looking at the panicked crowd in the hall and the only escape route, he immediately thought of what was going to happen.
Even if you want to escape, you may not be able to escape.
As he entered the passage, he saw the enemy mage chanting a spell, and beside her, several humans and big-eared monsters were hunched over the ground picking up fallen shields.
The other party probably didn't expect him to come so soon, and was obviously stunned.
The centaur didn't stop for anything, but sped up and rushed straight at the human female mage dressed as a warrior standing in the middle of the passage, the spear in his hand aimed at the other's heart.
He found that today was really his lucky day.
This magician didn't know if she was too careless or wanted to hide her identity, but she didn't bless herself with a magic shield, and her thin body wrapped in leather armor would definitely be pierced by her sharp spear!
Ash Temple's magician's eyes froze.
It was only a little bit before the second fireball magic in her hand was about to be completed.
The pillars in the castle hall had been secretly manipulated by the lord long before the battle, and the reason why he did this was because he didn't have enough time to cast spells.
The result was as he had expected, but the sorceress believed that perhaps if he did it again, the pillars would collapse completely.
Just then, a centaur soldier rushed in.
At this time, Polly and the others were still looking around for a shield that had been blown away by the air wave generated by the explosion, and they could not protect themselves.
At this time, because she wanted to hurry, she didn't bless herself with a magic shield.
At this time, even if she wanted to fight for her life, she couldn't finish the magic in her hand before the enemy's spear pierced her chest.
The sorceress reluctantly ducked to the side.
Seeing that the other party took the initiative to get out of the way, the centaur soldier was overjoyed, and was about to rush past the other party, but there was a sharp pain in his right front leg.
A sharp scimitar severed his right front leg, and the centaur screamed and rolled down the passage, before being stabbed to death by Robert's spear.
On the edge of the passage, the captain of the half-elf guard slowly sat up, a blood-drenched elven scimitar in his hand.
"Master Temp? Are you okay! Polly ran out screaming, and the group realized that the sorceress was slowly falling to the ground.
When the centaur broke her leg and fell, the end of the spear in her hand swept right into her abdomen.
The pain in her heart made her eyes black, her hands and feet weak, and the feeling of wanting to vomit welled up in her throat.
"It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen, Lord Lord, I finally understand!" The half-elf sighed and fell to the ground.
"Let's withdraw!" Polly hesitated for a moment, and despite the strong opposition of the half-elves, he asked the soldiers to lift Pete and the sorceress on the ground and quickly exit the passage.
Without the magician's magic, they would not have been able to destroy those pillars, and they would have died in vain if they remained in the passage.
The lord often said that ants still steal life, and it is better to die than to live, and he once said that he should keep his useful body in case of a comeback in the future.
Polly believed that the lord would not blame him for his escape.
As for how to destroy these enemies in the future, the lord will naturally have a way, and Polly is quite confident in the lord.
It is a kind of blind trust, without reason, but with firmness.
The two elven magicians were also drifting through the castle hall at this time, mingling in the panicked crowd and running towards the entrance of the passage.
They panicked too.
Although reason told them that they should calm down and help Ivo restore order, this thought could only be an extravagant hope in the current situation.
So they could only run for their lives helplessly, and the more they fled, the more panicked they became.
At this time, their honorable magician status has been completely ignored by the soldiers, and no one will care about the identity of the people around them.
If it weren't for the protection of the magic shield, the two magicians who were physically weak might have been squeezed by the crowd long ago.
