Chapter 52: Retreat to the Valley of Long Hatred
In the midst of the sword clash, a figure struck like lightning, and several demon soldiers were killed on the spot in each place.
Reynolds, as the most outstanding young knight in the kingdom, although he only has a silver fifth order, he burst out at this time with a strength that is no less than the silver seventh order, even if he is under the suppression of the strength of the secret realm, but with his super physical fitness, he is constantly killing in and out of the enemy army.
Unlike Reynolds, who was good at fighting alone, Melinda was always surrounded by the most elite knights, and the iron law of the Guards was the consciousness of being loyal to the Lord and not hesitating to die in battle, so even though one soldier fell, Melinda always avoided the rear unharmed.
"Damn, there are also demon ambushes here. ”
Reynolds urged all his fighting energy, and one after another brilliant sword qi swept by, and the enemies fell in pieces like cutting wheat, but these were just minions in the demon clan, and the warriors with real strength were already lined up on the periphery, and they were slowly approaching this side to oppress.
"Oops, the demon army has completed the encirclement. ”
Melinda was surprised, and the sword in her hand trembled slightly.
Although everyone had just withdrawn from the Broken Soul Mountain, this area was the territory of the demon army, but they were pinned down for a while, and they were surrounded by the demon army again.
Reynolds quickly swung his long sword and drew an arc-shaped sword qi slash, and the sword qi swept through, instantly killing the three bronze demon soldiers, and blood rose into the air and poured down.
The Victor family's guards followed, and Steele looked around nervously, not daring to leave the side of the family guards, for fear of being targeted by the murderous demon soldiers.
Under the leadership of Reynolds, everyone began to attack the encirclement of the demon army.
However, just as everyone was rapidly approaching, a black and oppressive cloud rose into the air and pressed down on the people who had launched the charge.
The sound of sharp objects moving at high speed and rubbing the air almost tore everyone's eardrums, but the black mist came from behind everyone, in the direction of Broken Soul Mountain.
"Arrow rain, dodge!"
Reynolds stopped charging and frantically stirred up the fighting energy in his body.
The Guards reacted extremely quickly, and almost before Reynolds gave an early warning, they had already raised their heavy shields in unison to protect Melinda in the center of the formation.
Melinda's hands slowly raised, and the earth energy quickly gathered here, and soon condensed into a shallow layer on the shield array, and the gaps in the formation were completely filled.
Countless arrows rained down from the sky and landed above the heads of the guards.
The sharpened arrows of the fine iron were bounced off by the outermost magical defense of the shield array, making a dull impact sound, but after no more than two breaths, the formed magical defense collapsed in an instant, and countless sharp arrows shot towards the heavy shield of the dark iron.
The sound of dense metal clashing came from above everyone's heads, but the number of arrows was too large, and a few arrows passed through the gaps between the shields and hit the knights of the Guard.
At first, the arrow-hit person could still hold on, but after a few waves of arrow rain, the casualties were as high as dozens of people, and the shield array shrank again and again, leaving a corpse full of holes.
Melinda constantly tried to strengthen the formation with magic, but her mana was limited, and she faced a curtain of hundreds of arrows, like a mantis arm.
But in relation to this, the situation on the side of the Guards is good.
The people of the Victor family, after these waves of arrow rain, there is no one in ten, Reynolds relied on his own strength, released his sword skills to block all the attacks, but the guards almost used flesh and blood to protect Steele, and no more than ten people survived, and the strength of each wounded was greatly reduced.
Finally, the offensive stopped.
The black-pressed demon army slowly advanced towards everyone.
Roaring like a beast, a war cry came from all over the encirclement, trying to crush the desperated humans.
At this time, Reynolds no longer had a calm expression on his face, and even he knew that there was no possibility for them to break through.
Melinda slowly retreated, dozens of guards were still guarding the surroundings, and those who could survive until now were basically masters with silver strength, but their opponents were endless demon armies.
Less than 100 people faced the encirclement of the demon army, almost clinging to each other, and they could no longer retreat.
Even they could already smell the smell of blood emanating from the enemy, and the dense blades of swords and axes pointed at this group of isolated humans.
Suddenly.
Countless fire arrows fell from the sky, aiming directly at the demon soldiers on one side.
The demon soldiers who were shot by the fire arrows turned into fireballs one by one and burned violently, and the demonic flames scorched their flesh and ate away at their vitality.
Soon, dozens of demon soldiers had been killed by the fire arrows.
Arrows of fire continued to pour from behind the encirclement, and finally, the demon army on this side fell into chaos.
"Reinforcement has arrived?" the crowd immediately cheered up.
"It's Sally here. ”
Seeing this spell, Melinda immediately guessed the identity of the other party.
Although it is not clear how many reinforcements are coming, if you don't grasp such a rare opportunity at this moment, everyone will really have only one way to die.
"Everyone rush out with me at all costs!"
Reynolds raised his sword with both hands, like a glorious knight who opened the world, and a force was naturally revealed, infecting every survivor and arousing everyone's fighting spirit.
"Kill!"
"Follow Master Reynolds and kill them. ”
Steele's hand holding the sword trembled violently, and every time he broke through, the family guards desperately protected him, but at the moment, with less than ten guards, it was still unknown whether he could protect himself and break out of the encirclement.
Just as he hesitated, he heard his brother's voice.
"Steele, keep up with the Guards in a moment. ”
As a pioneer, Reynolds naturally has to take the lead in opening a path for everyone, coupled with his relationship with Melinda, who is reasonable to protect this cousin for him.
Steele was overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement.
The fire arrows are gradually showing signs of weakening, but it is not easy for Sally to do this with the strength of the gray-robed mage, and she has killed and injured more than 100 demon soldiers with the chain of fire arrows alone, including many of them with bronze strength.
"Sword Disease, Flurry!"
Reynolds drank up a tube of unknown medicinal liquid, and the momentum of his whole body surged up, and as soon as the sword burst into the void, countless sword qi swept towards the demon army, and immediately opened a gap in the encirclement.
"Rush!"
The shouting of killing suddenly rose, and a rain of blood flew in the sword light and sword dance.
Due to the temporary chaos brought by the fire arrow to the demon army, Reynolds and his party managed to penetrate the encirclement, although all the Victor family guards were killed, and there were less than thirty people left along with the guards, but they managed to break through.
Reynolds saw Sally, who had come to pick her up, but when he saw the team, which was less than twenty people, Ben's somewhat stretched brow immediately tightened.
"Sorry, we only have these people. ”
Sally's face turned slightly pale due to the overuse of mental power, and her tone was a little weak.
There is a certain blood relationship between the Victor family and Sally's family, so Reynolds is also Sally's cousin, but the two don't see each other much.
"Thank you for your hard work. ”
Reynolds replied calmly, but anyone could see the anxiety in his eyes.
Melinda led the Guards to arrive, followed by a large army of demons.
Without further ado, there was no time for the people to hesitate.
"Ahead is the Valley of Long Hatred, and beyond the valley is a dense forest, only twenty miles away from the first teleportation point. Reynolds paused and said with a solemn face: "As long as we rush out of the Valley of Long Hatred, we will be saved." ”
Sally and Melinda agreed, and when there were pursuers behind, they chose to immediately retreat to another dangerous place, the Valley of Long Hatred.
