Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Knight's Activity
Stan looked to his left, only to see all kinds of lights and shadows, and the popping sound of the spell mixed with the mage's miserable screams, and just as he hesitated to go over to help, suddenly the environment in that direction darkened, and the pillar of light on the left side disappeared.
Suddenly, everyone felt the darkness pressing down on their hearts again, and Nerfi stopped casting the spell and stood up. "We have to go there, you protect me, I'm going to restore the pillar of light there. ”
"How? Maybe the mage who cast the light spell is dead!" Stan looked at Nerfi worriedly.
"Yes, he must be dead, so, I'm going to take his place. Nerfi's eyes were very determined.
Magill leaned over to Nerfi, not looking very approving. "They have so many mages, don't they have someone who can be up to them?"
Nerfi shook her head. "There are few light magicians, and the fighting is so fierce there, only we can resist the attack there. ”
Stan didn't hesitate any longer, and looked at Magir, and the two of them raised their swords and struck their heads in front of them, quickly running to the left, followed by Nerfi, and Tirin and the other knights followed with their weapons.
After running for about two hundred yards, a scorching smell entered Stan's nose, and the surroundings were charred and black, and by the light of the burning fires around him, he saw more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and it was impossible to tell which mage it was. What made everyone feel strange was that there was no one here at this time, and if the people from the Mage Tower were killed, then at least there would be people from the Twilight Sect. Magir didn't think too much about it, and immediately scattered with most of the knights, found some broken walls that could be concealed, and formed a temporary line of defense, enclosing the open space where Nerfi was.
Nellfi found the remains of the mage who had cast the light spell before, and all that remained was a pile of black charcoal, the girl frowned, and sat down in an upright position next to the remains. A spell sounded, and first a golden shield enveloped herself and Stan, who had been guarding Nalfi's side, and he had also seen the tragic situation of the dead mage, and did not dare to leave Nalfi half a step, he could not imagine what Nalfi would do if he was burned to charcoal.
The golden pillar of light rose in this area, and the darkness that had pressed down on everyone's hearts was dispelled once more, but the knights did not let up in the slightest, they knew that this sky-high pillar of light was like a giant lighthouse, attracting the evil people of the Twilight Cult. Sure enough, almost a few minutes later, the sound of messy footsteps came from a distance, and it seemed that the other party had no intention of sneaking up, but wanted to attack directly.
Guarding the front were Magill, Ulf, Clifford, and Ted, all four of whom were in a hidden position, cutting off all the paths leading to Nerfi in front of them, their weapons already in their hands, and all four of them tried to keep their breathing slow and not make too much noise. They are in a very good position, Stan and Nerfi are in opposite positions, and if the Twilight Cult does not pass through the broken wall guarded by the four knights, then the magic will be too far away to deal effective damage to Nerfi's shield. But if they try to cross the broken walls, then an ambush awaits them by the knights.
The first mage had already crossed the broken wall guarded by the four men and continued to charge towards Nerfi, Stan raised his sword in front of Nerfi, the mage obviously did not expect a knight to appear here, and was stunned for a few seconds, but he immediately raised his hand and began to recite the incantation. At this moment, the screams of his companions sounded from behind, and the mage turned his head to look back, just in time to see the two companions being restrained by two knights, one left and one right, and two sharp daggers were inserted into their hearts, and they immediately felt that their feet were weak and they were unsteady on their feet.
Stan doesn't give him a chance, and slashes him in half before he can come to his senses. Most of the several mages who rushed through the broken wall were attacked from behind by the four knights, and they were killed with a knife without even seeing who attacked them clearly. Six more corpses were left on the edge of the broken wall, and the remaining mages retreated, using magic to bombard a few broken walls.
Magir hid behind the wall, the fireball slamming into the wall, and the crumbling wall was about to collapse, at a distance they couldn't stand up to the mage. The captain of the knights gestured to the rest of the knights on either side, and the knights quickly detoured back to the sides of the mages in understanding, waiting for the captain's signal.
Another wall of fire hit the broken wall in front of Ulf, the wall could not support another impact, and collapsed, Magill shouted and retreated to the rear, Ulf threw out two throwing knives from his hand, and hurriedly followed Magill, Clifford and Ted also leaned down and quickly retreated. Due to the distance and the fact that Ulf was overshadowed by the magic attack, the knife did not hit the mage's vital point, but still tightened the arms and abdomen of the two mages, which made the mage see the knight's retreat but did not dare to catch up immediately, and the four knights retreated to Stan's flanks and protected Nerfi.
The mages waited for a while, seeing that there were no more throwing knives, and began to walk towards Nerfi, and slowly, they picked up their pace and trotted. Seeing that the other party had run into the ambush circle, Magill immediately met him head-on, which was tantamount to suicide, causing the mages to stop and start casting spells.
The knights who were dormant on both sides suddenly rushed out, and at the same time shouted as loudly as they could, putting psychological pressure on each other. Sure enough, in the face of fierce knights rushing from three directions at the same time, the mages could not even finish the incantation, and several mages simply gave up casting spells and fled backwards with shouts.
Magir's mighty body was like a hard wall, knocking the mage who was blocking the front away, and then cutting down the mage behind him with a sword, blood splattered out, and the mage was suddenly in chaos. Stan stabs his sword into the chest of the other mage, and the mage falls with a grunt. The rest of the knights killed all the mages who were scattered and fled on the left and right, and at close range, the mages were almost powerless to fight back, and Ulf threw the throwing knives forward, and two more mages who were only trying to flee for their lives, leaving their backs to the enemy, and the throwing knives were inserted into the hearts of their backs, leaving only their hands exposed.
It was like a trapped beast mage being annihilated by a knight, and in just two minutes, the battle was over, with more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and the knight had no casualties. This made Stan feel the strength of the Knight Canrito once again, but he also knew that a lot of this was due to the fact that they had set up an ambush in advance, and the mage was lured into the encirclement by them before he was powerless, and if it was a head-on confrontation, he would not have had such good luck.
Magir glanced around, his face not relaxed at the temporary victory. "This tactic can only be used once, and when they attack again, we have nowhere to hide. ”
Stan understood what Magill meant, and they couldn't stay here any longer, but Nerfi didn't seem to hear the Captain Knights, and sat still holding the pillar of light. "Nerfi, we have to get out of here. ”
Nerfi looked at Stan and didn't speak, but shook his head slightly. At this time, without her explanation, the knights also knew that if they left here, the pillar of light would definitely not be able to maintain, and then the entire camp would fall into darkness, and they would also fall into a passive situation. But if they stayed here without guaranteeing their own safety, Magill was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, he glanced at Stan, and then looked at Nerfi.
Stan understands what he means, and he puts away his obsidian sword and walks towards Nerfi. The girl guessed what he was going to do, but couldn't resist, so she stared at him with her eyes open, watching Stan approach her, slowly spreading his arms towards her.
At this moment, the pillar of light on the right side suddenly disappeared, and then the pillar of light in the other two directions also disappeared one after another, and only two pillars of light remained in the entire camp, standing alone, dark, enveloping everyone.
