"Look, that's the area I'm talking about. Struggling to climb a man-high rock, Lina pointed diagonally ahead, and as soon as she spoke, she was stunned by what she saw. The four girls had just crossed the hillside covered with flesh and viscera, and due to the impact of the small-scale landslide, the controlled sea tribes in the affected area were in a panic, and most of them were disturbed by the landslide and fell down. As soon as the landslide was over and the situation was relatively stable, the four girls easily advanced a distance of several hundred meters until a rock more than a person high blocked the way. Catherine barely managed to block the resurgence of enemies from behind, and Rina took the lead in strengthening her body with magic and climbed the rock. What appeared in front of Lina was a relatively gentle slope, the rocks on the ramp were arranged very closely, there was not much difference in height, the slope was relatively soothing, it was easy to walk, and on this ramp of more than 2,000 square meters, there were six or seven hundred controlled sea tribes densely gathered. These controlled sea tribes didn't say a word, and their eyes were blank in the direction that Lina had climbed from, and they cautiously surrounded them. Lina covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice, "Denya, have all the patrols in the sea been summoned?"

"Whew, whew, whew. The other three girls also climbed up with difficulty, and looked at everything in front of them with stiff faces. The muscles on the corners of Catherine's mouth twitched, and she said with a dry smile, "Lina, are you saying that the location where the controlled sea clan is standing is where we are going? Ha, ha, you are really joking, can you confirm it again? Maybe you are mistaken." ”

"Accept the reality, big sister, don't lie to yourself. Lina also felt that her throat was dry, and said astringently: "That's our destination, I can't be mistaken." ”

"I think we can try to lure them away. Vivien looked up the hill and said, "Lead them to the top of the hill for a circle, and then we will run back and search as soon as possible, and maybe we can avoid their encirclement." ”

"Didn't you notice that they stopped coming near us after a little bit of it?" Freya shook her head, "They are the last guards, and it seems that they will not easily leave the fortified place, and it is impossible for us to lead them away easily." I really regret not bringing my portable crystal cannon this time, I thought this mission would be difficult, I didn't expect it to be so difficult, what the hell. ”

"Is there any way to do it? Lina turned her gaze to Catherine and asked in a low voice, "I don't have any idea." ”

"When you faced that crab just now, can you use that large-scale terrain change again?" Catherine asked expectantly, "It would be much easier if you could use it again, a pit of tens of meters deep is enough to sink them all." ”

"That's what I did after eagerly extracting all the divine power in the Fa book. Lina shook her head with a wry smile and said, "If you want to use it again, you have to let the law book automatically charge for at least a month." And even if it can be done, it will be troublesome, and it will be interfered by the divine power of the artifact here, and it is very likely that the effect of the divine magic near the artifact will decay or even completely invalidate. ”

"Eldest sister, you need to make a decision quickly. Vivien put a few shock spells on the bottom of the rock she had just climbed up, blasting back the controlled sea clan who wanted to jump up: "The enemy chasing below is getting closer and closer, and if we don't decide, we will fall into an encirclement." ”

"Vivien, Freya. Catherine took a deep breath, as the leader of the party, she had to make a decision at a critical moment, whether it was right or wrong, the leader had to shoulder this heavy responsibility. She knew that time did not allow her to hesitate and that she had to make a decision immediately, so she gritted her teeth and asked, "Can you two join forces and quickly build a movable defensive circle?"

"The defensive circle is fine, but it's difficult to move. Vivien and Freya glanced at each other, and Vivien said, "There doesn't seem to be an elemental mage on the other side, and if the two of us join forces to build defenses, including Legend, if anyone wants to break through, they must exhaust my magic power." With such a dense number of enemies, the number of people who can besiege our defensive circle will not be too many, and the full support can last at least an hour. But my defensive circle can't be moved, if you want to shift the range, you need to set up a new one in front of you, with my current mental power, five in a row within twenty-two hours will reach the limit. ”

"My position can be moved. Freya said, "But you can't move faster. ”

"What about the erection speed?" asked Catherine, "how quickly can it be done, and if it is fast enough, it may be possible to engage them in a positional battle." ”

"Mine for about three minutes. Vivien replied: "I have prepared the Mithril Array Disk in advance, and I can directly project the magic circle on the Mithril Plate to the ground, and because of this, only five can be erected, and the projection circle is too consuming of spiritual power." ”

"I'm slow, at least about six minutes. Freya said, "And I need Vivien to delineate the general range first, and I need to cooperate with the scope construction of her magic circle." ”

"No problem, as long as you are confident that you can defend against a large number of enemies with your two defenses. Catherine's face finally had joy: "After a while, we will break into the enemy, I am responsible for buying you ten minutes, you set up defense, after the defense is erected, you two are responsible for defense, Lina, you search inside the defense circle, I search outside the defense circle, the key is to search the rock gap, the rock surface can be seen from here, there is nothing strange, then the target can only be in the gap." It doesn't matter what the target is, it's an anomalous man-made object anyway, so it shouldn't be hard to find. ”

"Positional warfare?" The three girls looked at each other and nodded together, "It should be feasible." ”

"Legion! assemble!" Catherine raised her sword again, and an illusory banner appeared behind Catherine, flying as if it were hunting in a strong wind. Behind Catherine's banners, one banner after another emerges from the illusory, and under each banner stands a knight in full armor. This time, the knights in the phantom did not ride their horses, but stood directly on the ground with their legs, but the aura of iron and blood that emanated still made people tremble.

"Legion! With a finger of her sword, Catherine herself rushed out as the tip of the arrow, welcoming the knights to follow closely behind, stepping on the gravel under their feet and launching a heroic charge against the enemy. After being promoted to Legendary, not only did the number of Phantom Legions formed by Catherine's skills increase significantly, but in terms of strength, half of the knights became neat gold ranks, and the other half of the trainee knights holding swallowtail flags also became neat silver ranks. This is the terrifying thing about the legendary knights who can be called masters among the knights, who can incarnate hundreds of high-level knights in a short period of time, and one person can completely confront a human army of 10,000 people.

The knights shouted silently, quickly cut into the dense controlled sea clan, and forcibly tore a gap in the crowd of the other party, the other three girls did not hesitate, followed by the phantoms and rushed into the gap, thinking without thinking, if Catherine failed to fulfill her promise of holding on for ten minutes, they would not be surrounded by the controlled sea clan and torn to pieces. The knights were charging, but after only breaking through more than ten meters, Catherine, who was the core of the team, found that the pressure on the entire army had reached a limit, after all, in the crowd on the other side, there were at least thirty or forty legendary ranks, and with their existence, the knights' team could no longer advance half a step.

"Legion! Barrier!" Catherine raised her sword, drew a circle in the sky, and shouted loudly, "Formation! Defense." ”

The phantom knights quickly changed their formations, skillfully changing from an arrow-shaped sharp arrow formation to a ring-shaped defensive formation, with the golden knight holding a shield outside, and the silver knight holding a cavalry spear inside, shoulder to shoulder, forming an impenetrable human wall, forcibly enclosing a space of about one hundred square meters, and surrounding the three girls layer by layer. Catherine constantly roamed inside and outside the walls, leaping out of the defensive circle to knock the enemy back whenever the Legendary Sea Clan approached the position.

The task of the Phantom Knights is very simple, the Golden Knights defend the perimeter, defend with shields at all costs, and do not retreat even if they bear more damage than they can bear, until they explode into a ball of light after death. The silver-rank apprentice knights are in the defensive circle, holding mounted spears and constantly stabbing outward from the gaps, making the defensive circle look like a sea urchin covered with thorns.

It can be seen that Catherine, as the core of the team, is under considerable pressure. The Legion's combat skills are not without a price, all the attacks on the Phantom Knights are actually indirectly effective on her body, that is to say, every moment she is actually under the attack of dozens of people, these enemies not only have gold and silver ranks, but even hide a lot of attacks from legendary level enemies, and soon she has begun to sweat, and her face has gradually become pale.

And there are also knights in the defensive circle who are constantly leaving, a gold-level knight is leaving, and the silver-level trainee knight attached to him will also stab the last shot and turn into a point of light. Every time a knight dies, the defensive circle will shrink slightly, and it will remain shoulder to shoulder, not giving the enemy a chance.

I have to admit that if a Legendary-level defensive knight wants to defend one place, it is still quite worrying, their characteristic is their defensive ability, even if they are constantly under the attack of dozens of people, they can still rush back and forth, even if their faces are pale, there is no sign of falling. And every centimeter of the defensive circle shrinks, the area under attack will be reduced a little, and the defense will be a little stronger, and it seems that it will take a short time for the sea tribes on the periphery to break through the defensive circle, and because of this, Catherine has the confidence to make a commitment to hold on for ten minutes.
