Chapter 108: Rescue

The group slowly approached the Twilight Cult's camp, with Ulf and Ted still at the forefront, silently weaving through the woods like leopards in the night. Unlike the original formation, the two mages walked in the center of the line, and the knights marched in a circle outside the two.

Fern turned to Rui behind him and asked, "Can you sense a few demons left there? ”

Rui shook his head. "No, you should know that mages have a way of hiding the demon's aura. ”

"That's only a matter of scouting. Fern caught up with Ulf and whispered a few words in his ear, and the knight nodded and greeted Ted, and the two quickened up, leaving the others behind.

After walking some more distance, Ted walked back briskly on his own, and almost collided with Fern, who was walking in front, and both of them were startled. "How's it going?" Fern asked anxiously.

Ted breathed a sigh of relief, steady. "Yes...... There are four demons, and four mages, hell, I don't know why I can't even speak. ”

Fern patted Ted on the shoulder. "It's not your fault, it's good that you can run back. ”

Stan uses memory to find Nerfi's location. "Is there any way you can fend off the demons' special abilities, just like you and Ness did at Magnus Fortress. ”

Nerfi shrugged. "I can't release that magic alone, it's high-level magic, and it requires two people to be proficient. ”

Rui sighed lightly. "My dark magic can alleviate some of your fears of demons, but it's not completely exorcistic, so it's up to you. ”

"That's good!" Stan said gratefully, "Let's get started." ”

Rui raised his wand and waved it a few times in the dark, silently chanting a spell in his mouth, and everyone suddenly felt as if their hearts were blocked by something, and Magir was very unaccustomed to it. "What is this? I felt like someone had punched me in the chest. ”

"I'll have to rely on this to mitigate the demon's influence for you. Rui put down his wand and said lightly.

Fern touched his chest. "Wait for Stan, I will deal with the demons, we still need four more people, the other knights to deal with the mages, who will volunteer to deal with the demons?"

"Me!" Tirin replied first, "It's my forte to deal with demons, and every demon I kill is a consolation to my wife. ”

Magill volunteered. "I can't put you in danger. ”

Ulf touched the dagger. "Take me, I've wanted to fight the demon for a long time, and finally have a chance. ”

"Good, anything else?" said Fern, raising his voice slightly.

"I'll go. It was Clifford who spoke, and the young knight had a short sword in one hand and one on his back.

Fern answered, and drew his sword in the stone. "Wait for Nerfi to launch light magic to illuminate the clearing first, the demon is afraid of light magic, and will definitely delay for a while, the six of us rush in first, how many can be solved, remember, protect yourself first, the mage will definitely release magic to attack us, try to avoid magic attacks, and the other knights will rush in at this time and kill them while they cast spells." ”

The knights all nodded, nervously rubbing their hands, and Fern looked at Rui. "Rui, once our attack starts, they will definitely try to inform Aloisius, and it won't be long before he will come back, you try to hold him back, as long as you can. ”

Rui nodded. "Yes, I understand. ”

Fern glanced one last glance at the fan-shaped area in front of him, though he couldn't make out the knights' expressions right now. "Everything is about rescuing Niss, the key is to be fast, if we can rescue Niss, then we don't have to fight, retreat immediately, once Aloisius returns, it will be too difficult for us to run again. ”

After the arrangement, Fern continued to start under the leadership of Ted, he actually didn't know whether such a tactic could succeed or not, but now there was no choice but to try.

The camp was so close that Fern could already see the faint light of the fire ahead, and he turned back to Nerfi and nodded, who straightened up and began to chant the incantation. Several bright balls of light burrowed into the trees and flew quickly into the camp ahead, illuminating the trees around the camp as if it were daylight with a scream.

"Now, rush!" Fern shouted, sword in both hands, and his companions quickly followed, and a group of people slaughtered towards the camp.

Fern was first confronted by the demons, and the four demons were forced to bow their heads in the light of the orb of light, which could not damage them, but limited their mobility slightly. Fern made eye contact with a demon, and the two swords clashed together, and a fierce shout of slaughter rang out. Another demon tries to help, but Stan stops in front of him, the black-gray obsidian sword gleaming in the golden light. Magill and Ulf stood on either side of the third demon on the left and right, their hearts still terrified, but not completely incapacitated, and the two of them breathed hard, trying to calm their hearts. Tillin took Clifford around the last of the demons, and he had more experience fighting demons than the other knights.

The mages of the Twilight Sect were also frightened by the sudden attack, and only then did they react and hastily release several fireballs, which were dodged by Fern and the knights.

Nerfi didn't stop casting, after the ball of light, she waved her wand and cast more than a dozen golden magic crossbow arrows, the crossbow arrows drilled into the clearing, and the opponent was caught off guard, the demons and mages dodged in a hurry, and the demons in front of Stan couldn't dodge, and were pierced through the right foot by the crossbow arrows, and immediately fell to their knees, howling in pain. Stan takes advantage of the situation and wields his obsidian sword, forcing the demon to retreat, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them tear into the woods.

The knights who followed also rushed into the camp, killing the four mages of the Twilight Cult and fleeing in all directions, facing the knights who were skilled in close-quarters combat, they were completely powerless and had no choice but to flee for their lives. The knights did not relax, but kept chasing them into the woods, knowing that if they were allowed to go, these mages would surely release dark arrows in the woods.

Without the harassment of the mages' magic, the remaining five people in the camp and the three demons began a hard tug-of-war, and Fern was no longer afraid of the demons, so for him, he was only facing a skilled swordsman, but the situation of the other four companions was not optimistic. Magill and Ulf were struggling to deal with the demon's attack, and the two of them had been able to manage to protect themselves from injury thanks to years of experience working together, but because their hands and feet had become heavy, it was so difficult to attack at this moment. Tillin was much better than they were, and under his tutelage Clifford gradually caught up with him, and the young knight learned very quickly.

Through the demon in front of him, Fern saw Ness behind him, the girl was tied to a tree, looking at the mercenary excitedly, she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disrupting Fern's rhythm, she could only pray in her heart.

Fern no longer hesitated, raised his sword and rushed forward, the demon dodged the sword, and at the same time the sword stabbed towards the mercenary's chest, Fern lifted the sword upward, picked off the opponent's broadsword, and kicked the demon in the stomach. Fern felt like he had kicked the soles of his feet against a wall, but at least he kicked the demon backwards a few steps, and taking advantage of the gap, Fern slashed his opponent with a sword from top to bottom, and the demon barely managed to stabilize himself, and hastily raised his sword to resist the blow. Fern took the initiative and launched a continuous non-stop attack on the demon, but the demon gradually became unable to resist, and was injured in multiple places, and finally was stabbed in the chest by Fern with a sword and fell.

Fern drew his sword and looked around, Stan was nowhere to be seen for a while, Tirin and Clifford were fighting in a good manner, and it seemed that it would not take long to solve the opponent, and although Magill and Ulf were still fighting, Nerfi had already rushed over and was chanting the incantation. There was no problem with this group, and Fern relieved himself and ran towards Ness. "It's alright, Ness, I'm here to save you, let's get out of here!"

"I'm fine, Fern ......," Ness said, tears streaming down her face.

Rui stood at the edge of the camp, keeping an eye out for the magic fluctuations around him, and so far, there were no disturbing shadow fluctuations.
