Chapter 245: Defending the Side
The killers slaughtered the crowd with cold call, but the steady-defending warriors remained motionless, as if they had not seen the blood in front of them.
On the side of the guards, some of the prescient nobles gathered around the guards, like Al, who roared anxiously and ordered the guards to attack and rescue those who were being slaughtered.
"Do you just watch like this? Let the noble blood pass like this, and the noble elders' house will not spare you! All of you will go to a court-martial, and stand trial. Two angry nobles threatened without hesitation.
But the guards were like cold dead creatures, unmoved, oblivious to the scene before them. They just stared at the front in silence, without even blinking their eyes, and at this moment, no matter how noble a person was, could not let them take a step away from the place.
Nothing compares to the heavy guilt, or the creed of the knights, to the duty they shoulder, the eternal creed that penetrates into the blood, marrow, and brain of every warrior.
Al was unmoved, he was very sure that the target of these killers was Grievous the Great, otherwise he would not have needed to make such a large formation. The New Year's hunt is indeed a rare opportunity for the emperor to leave the palace, and in addition to this, it is only the time for him to go to the Holy Radiance Cathedral to pray, but how dare these attackers do such a thing in the holy area, so the New Year's hunt is the only possibility for the attackers.
Al was also very sure that these killers did not directly attack the guards, but went to great lengths to slaughter these unrelated nobles, just to let the guards come to the rescue, so that the guards could no longer maintain a defensive formation, and these killers were waiting for such a flaw.
El stared at these killers, knowing that they wouldn't waste too much time on these nobles, and would definitely rush over immediately.
Sure enough, several loud noises suddenly sounded in the dense forest, and it seemed that even the ground trembled a little. Al was shocked in his heart, and guessed that it was probably those fierce beasts in the dense forest, just like the boar before, that exploded.
These explosions were like cannons, setting off the climax of the attack. The killers gave up the slaughter and gathered together to rush towards the guards, they drew their swords and lined up in a tight phalanx, looking like an elite army!
The boundless murderous aura was like the cold wind of this winter, and even the fallen leaves on the ground were swept in the air by the fierce wind, as if they were so frightened by this murderous aura that they wanted to escape.
But Al had no way to escape at this time, he could only fight, not escape! He had already prepared for a loud shout, walked to the front of the phalanx, slapped his hands on the ground, and then at a speed visible to the naked eye, the ground was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and bursts of cold air emerged from above, which was a severe cold that could not be felt even in the depths of winter, and the biting cold seemed to freeze people from the inside out, from the body to the mind.
It was the great magic "Deadly Chill" that El had tried and tested many times and used in the Battle of Snow Fortress.
The leader of the guards, who was standing at the head of the guard formation, glanced at Al in surprise, obviously he didn't expect that there were mages among the nobles. But apparently the morale of the guards was much higher, and with a mage, their odds of victory were much better.
"Don't be careless, I can't unleash too much big magic. Al reminded him with a pale face, at this time he regretted it in his heart, thinking that nothing would happen in the hunt, so he didn't bring the "potential" patch with him, and when fighting the big black bear, he had already consumed a lot of mental power.
The head of the guards nodded and shouted, "Raise the shield!" The guards standing in the front row raised their shields on the ground and held them in unison in front of their chests, like mountains rising from the ground, and if they wanted to cross this steel line, they would have to pay the price of blood and death.
The cold ground in front of the phalanx was a clear death trap, telling everyone that this was the way out! But the killers didn't care about this, and the first dozen or so people had already stepped into this cold winter hell with a shout. In an instant, their faces turned black, and their whole bodies began to swing, and they couldn't even take a step when they stood up.
They can't even perceive their own legs and feet, and it's likely that the muscles of these people's feet have begun to die!
However, these killers were also ruthless, and they pulled out the dagger at their waists, and made several cuts in their thighs, from which blood spurted out, smearing the ground like bloody arrows, leaving a shocking red. They actually use self-mutilation to awaken the consciousness of their legs and feet! No matter what the battle is, these people will inevitably lose their legs and feet and become disabled.
These killers are cruel to others, and even more ruthless to themselves! Not only do they not care about other people's lives, they don't even care about their own lives.
Just imagine a person who doesn't even care about his own life, how can he stop him from taking the lives of others?
But Erne! A strange color flashed in his eyes, and another hurried spell, the ground that had been bubbling cold suddenly became muddy, and the bodies of the dozen or so killers who were struggling to step directly into the ground, like poor insects caught in spider webs and prey, the more they struggled, the more powerless they became.
How can these killers, who are even difficult to walk, break free from the shackles of this earth, and only the fate of death that slowly sinks to greet them is to be greeted by death.
It was the spell casting technique of the Magic Transformation, which transformed some of the "Deadly Cold" magic into "muddy quicksand", and Al had already used all his strength to keep these terrifying enemies at bay. The muddy ground, mixed with a lot of cold, warned again: this road is not working.
There was a bit of jealousy in the eyes of these killers, and they bypassed the side of El, which was the front of the defensive formation, and prepared to change directions and continue to attack!
"I'll defend this direction, and you concentrate on defending the other three. Al shouted hurriedly, his headache splitting and his difficulty even speaking. Unleashing two large-scale spells in a row, he once again experienced the excessive loss of mental power that he had not seen for a long time, and at this time, Al felt as if his whole person was going to faint.
The head of the guard didn't let go of such an opportunity, and not having to let go in one direction really relieved his pressure a lot. He shouted "Turn!" and the soldiers who had been guarding the front turned in line to the two wings, strengthening the already weak wings a lot.
And the stormy assault of the killers has arrived!
