Chapter 100: Turning Point
Thoughts flashed like lightning, and the urgency of the form no longer allowed Fern to think about it, and he glanced at the knights who had surrounded Hesyuin. "You guys go quickly, there's no need to die here, tell the High Lord of Sigmund and Manfred about the situation here!"
Magir scolded, "No one can let me escape, even if I die here, I will not hesitate to die!"
Tilling had already walked over at some point, and Fern glanced at him, while Stan walked over to Ulf and Clifford and whispered a few words to them, both of whom frowned and nodded. With a shout from Fern, the trio jumped up, grabbed Magill, and dragged him into the woods, and the other knights silently said goodbye to Fern and Stan, and then walked away, and Magill's curses faded away.
"Alright, Rui, stop. Fern straightened up and sighed.
Rui put down his hands and sat on the ground weakly, and Nerfi hurriedly helped her to restore her mental strength. A large group of mages and demons appeared in the camp, led by Aloisius, and the Great Sage glanced at the situation, a relaxed smile on his face, and slowly paced in front of Fern and Stan. "Well done, young man, I feel sorry for you, if it weren't for the fact that Hehu had surpassed the ability of ordinary demons, Niss would have been successfully rescued by you. ”
Fern didn't make any moves, knowing that it was all futile in front of the Great Sage, and Stan held his sword across his chest. "Although we failed, it was too early to say whether we won or lost, and we will not rest on our laurels until the last minute. ”
Aloisius snorted disdainfully, and with a slight lift of his left hand, Stan was knocked out of the way, into the trees in the distance. Fern was still staring at Aloiseus, and the right hand holding the sword in the stone was bruised. "Let them go, and I'll go with you. ”
Aloisius glanced at Rui and Nerfi, who were crouching on the side. "I can let this light mage and that knight go, but this shadow mage named Rui must stay, but don't worry, I can't bear to let me kill her, I can't find a second shadow mage who can fight against me for so long and seal my transfer technique, I have to train her well." ”
Rui regained some energy, raised his head and looked at the Great Sage vigilantly, the messy black hair was clinging to his cheeks, Aloisius raised his hand, and a dark force pressed down from the air out of thin air, crushing Fern to the ground, the mercenary knelt on his knees, and his hands supported the ground hard, barely falling down, Rui and Nerfi cast a shield to support for a while, and they were also pressed to the ground.
Aloisius lowered his hand, and the three of them were able to straighten up again. "You only have this one chance, and if you miss it, you won't have it, except for Ness, you all have to die. ”
Fern looked at Nerfi, who looked confused. "Go to Stan, take him away, get out of here, get out of Threndra, go to Canrito. ”
Nerfi opened her mouth to say something, but realizing that Fern's order was their only option now, the girl pursed her lips and took one last look at Rui and Fern, and ran towards the woods where Stan had flown to.
"You're so much more sane than Adeline. Aloisius nodded in satisfaction. "I'm really impressed with a few of you, and it's good enough for your age and experience to be able to do this, and I'm kind of tempted to include you under my command. ”
Fern snorted, and the hand holding the sword relaxed. "You are also very good, Aloisius, who is still sober in the company of the Dark Lord, much better than the likes of Etiyesh. ”
"Hahahaha!" Aloiseus was not annoyed by Fern's rudeness. "That's right, mercenary, those who know the times are handsome, and only by standing on the side of the strong can they have a future. ”
"You're right, but the Lord of Darkness is an exception. Fern plunged his sword into the dirt, his right palm resting on the top of the hilt. "Standing on the side of the dark lord will only ignite the fire**. ”
Aloiseus put away his smile. "It's useless to talk too much, we should go, I guess Adeline will be here soon, it's messy enough, I don't want to bother anymore. As he spoke, he glanced at Haysouin, who turned around with Ness.
The sound of wings fluttering sounded, and everyone looked up at the sky in confusion, in this clearing, there were no branches and leaves, and the dark sky could be clearly seen. Heshuin heard the source of the sound, which he had been very familiar with. "It's a dragon!
"Dragon?" Aloisius was obviously shocked by Haysuiin's shout, and even he was a little out of breath.
Strong gusts of wind blew overhead, and with each flap of their wings, the dust on the ground was blown up, and the demons and mages covered their faces and looked at the sky through their fingers. Several screams pierced the night sky, and four dragons, two red and two green, waved their broad wings and slowly landed behind Fern, one of whom had a mage-like man sitting on its back.
"Looks like I'm here just in time!" the mage on the dragon's back shouted, not at all afraid of the enemy in front of him.
"Nigel!" Fern cried out as he looked back. "You guy!"
Nigel looked at the frightened enemies, some of the demons tried to step forward to defend themselves, and the four dragons craned their necks and screamed at them in unison, and the dust on the ground flew up, and the demons had to retreat for the time being. "What kind of trouble are you getting into this time, Adeline didn't write it clearly in Adeline's letter, so let me rush over immediately. ”
Still facing forward, Fern stepped back to Nigel's side, and one of the red dragons recognized him, sticking out his tongue and licking the mercenary's face, the dragon's tongue was so large that it almost completely covered Fern's face, and Fern wiped his face with his hand and patted the red dragon's neck. "You must remember the Hyschuin we encountered in the Warped Plane, as for that...... He is Aloisius. ”
"Aloiseus!!" Nigel cried unconsciously. "What the hell, why does Adeline give me such a dangerous mission every time, the last time I went to warp the plane, this time it's like this, am I her only apprentice!"
Aloisius had come to his senses, and for him, dragons were just dragons, not something invincible. "Mage, don't get in the way of things you can't control, just leave it at that. ”
"Uncontrollable things?" Nigel straightened his chest on the dragon's back and gave a quick glance at Ferne, and it was this glance that both of them already knew in their hearts. "Adeline, I didn't expect you to come so soon!" Nigel looked behind the Great Sage with a look of surprise.
Everyone except Fern looked in the same direction, even Ray and Ness. The opportunity was fleeting, Fern drew his sword and rushed towards Haysouin as fast as he could, the other party heard his footsteps and hurriedly turned around, Oberon had already arrived in front of him, and Hayhuin hastily raised his sword to resist. Fern slammed Hayshuin's sword away with all his might, and then raised his sword with his backhand and slammed the hilt into the opponent's left wrist, Hayhun let go of his left hand due to the pain, and Fern pulled Ness over and protected her behind.
The others heard the fighting and looked towards them, and in front of them were Ness, who had been rescued back into Fern's hands, and Hayshuin, who was furious, and Aloiseus was annoyed that he had been tricked by Nigel. "Kill them, kill those two men except Ness and the Shadow Mage!"
As soon as the words fell, the four dragons waved their wings at the same time, and with the incessant screams, the dust flew, and the entire camp was suddenly plunged into a storm of sand, and the visibility was reduced to a minimum. Nigel was not idle on the dragon's back, casting wind magic to repel the demons and mages who tried to rush forward, and in the dragon's scream, the mages of the Twilight Cult had a problem chanting spells fluently, and only Aloiseus could cast spells unaffected.
The shadow magic of the Great Sage erected a wall of shadows in front of him, and the sand and wind struck on it, sucking it in. The enemy was behind the shield, slowly advancing, and Nigel was in a hurry, the flames and wind poured down on the shield, but he was still no match compared to Aloiseus's mana.
At that moment, countless arrows of light burst out of the woods, and like meteors in the night sky, they slashed over Fern's head and pierced into the black shield. The Shadow Shield was pierced by arrows of light and scattered to the ground like black crystals, and subsequent arrows of light shot into enemy formations, killing several demons and screaming and turning to splinters. Some mages were also hit, and unlike the demons, arrows of light pierced their bodies, only causing ordinary penetrating wounds, which were not fatal unless they hit the vital point.
Nigel's winds, mixed with fire and sand, once again enveloped the enemy. "Come on!"
Fern looks in the direction where the arrow of light is flying, and Nellfi is running towards it, with Stan holding his sword behind him. "Climb on the dragon's back, these wind and sand can't hold them back for too long!"
Stan and Nalfi climbed onto the back of one of the green dragons, Ray jumped on the red dragon from the other side, and Fern lifted Ness on the back of the red dragon, and then quickly jumped on it himself. "Now, cast one last spell, and we'll leave!"
In addition to Niss, who had been held hostage for too long and was exhausted, the other three mages once again used all their strength to pour three kinds of magic in front of them, and suddenly a roar sounded in front of the enemy, and even the figure on the opposite side could not be seen.
The four dragons flapped their wings and rose into the air, and the trees descended beneath them, and in front of them, a dark night sky.
