The sky was extremely gloomy because of the gathering of tyrannical shadow elements. After three batches of "Shadow Guards", the fourth and fifth batches appeared again after a few minutes. So many powerful summoned creatures made the battlefield completely appear one-sided. The troops of "Rose Cross" struggled desperately, but they could not break through the encirclement built by these powerful guards. It seems that it won't take long to complete collapse and suffer unprecedented massacre...

But two kilometers away from the main battlefield, Cardinal Goethe, holding the "Viridian Kiss", was not excited by the amplification effect of the summoning technique. Instead, he stopped entering the front-line battlefield and lowered his head to ponder.

“Why…”

According to Bishop Goethe's original strength, he can summon up to sixty "Shadow Guards" under the influence of the "Ghost Shadows" skill, "Shadow Amplification" talent, and the title of "Cross Bearer". At this time, the powerful increase of the "Virgin Kiss" scepter has already increased the number by five times - such an effect can be called "terror" no matter what, and the scepter itself is worthy of the name of "Artificial Artifact".

But what puzzled Bishop Goethe at this moment was that although the increase in power of this scepter was far beyond imagination, after several consecutive casts, he felt an unprecedented "exclusion".

It was like the tightly sucked magnets suddenly began to "repulse each other". According to principles, the connection between the caster and the staff should be barrier-free. Even the lowest-level staff would not have any "resistance" to the caster, let alone the artifact-level "Virgin Kiss"... But the facts were in front of you. When Goethe casted "Summon: Shadow Guard" for the fifth time, the scepter showed "elemental disorder" phenomenon uncontrollably, and even a "crackling" shadow turbulence appeared.

Goethe had a premonition that if he insisted on using it to cast spells, he might even be a problem whether the spell could be successfully released, but he could not determine the reason for this situation...

So he stopped and rested for a few minutes. After his mana was restored a little, Goethe tried to communicate with the scepter with elemental power, and then he found that the situation seemed to be better than before.

"Is it because the mana value is not enough that the scepter cannot be used?"

The more Goethe thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He raised his eyes and looked at the battlefield ahead, waved his hand to the guards beside him and said, "Find a suitable place to rest for a while."

"Yes, Lord Goethe."

Because he came from the distant Leonards Canyon, there were not many guards beside Goethe. The elite guards of twenty people and the five Shadow Priests were just symbolic "protections". Not far away were two reserve teams with more than a thousand people. With Goethe himself, his actions at this time were not at all at risk.

As the order was issued, this only means that the command center team slowly changed its direction of progress and moved towards the inconspicuous village next to it...

*******

At the same time, Sally, who was bombarded by the "Shadow Blast", crossed three or four meters in the air, directly smashed the window of the wooden house behind her and fell to the ground...

The severe pain made Sally unable to shout at all, thanks to her release of the "Holy Shield" in advance, otherwise this blow would have killed her directly!

But even though she didn't lose her life at this time, Sally felt that she was not far from death - her whole body was in pain and she wanted to raise her hand, but found that she couldn't even move her fingers. She breathed a few times, and all she heard were shouts and fighting outside the house, mixed with the screams of soldiers after being hit by the shadow spell.

With wide eyes, Sally found that there were no stoves around the houses of ordinary farmers, the cheese, bacon or rusty sickles that were hung, but there were two huge bookshelfs that occupied the walls...

In this era, I'm afraid even ordinary nobles won't see so many books in the family, let alone in an inconspicuous house in a village? If it were normal, Sally would have looked carefully because of suspicion in her heart, but at this time she had no such thoughts at all... Because the shouts outside the window proved that her current situation was already extremely dangerous:

"Go to protect the captain!"

"Stop them--ah!"

“Bao…”

A body suddenly hit the wall next to the window, and the shouting came to an abrupt end. Some dust even fell in the house due to the vibration. Sally raised her head with a pale face... She already understood that the enemy seemed to be coming for her!

Sally took a deep breath and wanted to stand up, but found that her right arm was unable to move due to dislocated shoulders. She pulled out the short sword from her waist with her left hand. Before she could make any other moves, the wooden door next to her was kicked open with a "bang".

The guy wearing the "Rose Cross" priest robe walked into the room with his eyes slightly narrowed and stared at Sally who had not yet gotten up. He was first surprised, then he was full of jokes: "White sickle... tsk, it seems that it is worth it for me to wait for so long."

"Welcome the judgment of the God of Viper, pagan."

The shadow element between the other party's hands suddenly condensed. After saying this calmly, he casts the "Shadow Arrow" on Sally who has no resistance-

Sally closed her eyes involuntarily...

“Buzz…”

"Bang!"

There was a flash of light in front of me, and the expected pain did not appear.

"What!?"

The enemy in front of him exclaimed in surprise. Sally opened her eyes in a trance and saw a hemispherical shield with runes floating in front of her...

What is this?

Sally stood there in a daze, but then she noticed a thundering red color on one side of her vision.

Then, the blue light illuminated the dim room, and violent elemental fluctuations suddenly swept through everything. The "rumbling" blast made the entire ground vibrate. Sally couldn't help but reach out to block her eyes. It was not until three seconds later that all this seemed to gradually subside...

Putting down his arms, everything in front of him made Sally breathe in shock: the wall just now had already disappeared with wooden doors, windows and roofs above!

The initiator on the side was whispering at a loss behind a shield: "The scroll left by my mother is so terrible..."

Hearing the slightly childish voice, Sally turned her head and asked with a trembling voice: "Ca...Camilla?"

Half a year ago, Sally met Nafi on the way to the "Sanctuary", but she never thought that she would meet here at this time and was saved by the other party in this incredible way.

However, Naifie did not respond to her words at all: after the wall disappeared, the scene of blood splashing on the battlefield was completely revealed in front of her, making Naifie stunned...

No matter how many spells and knowledge he learned in his daily life, Nafi is essentially just a little girl who has never experienced the world. How could he have seen such a tragic battle?

The body separated by flesh and blood, the screaming soldiers, the shadow arrows shot everywhere, had completely shocked her, and even lost the ability to think for a while.

Seeing this scene, Sally had some strength from somewhere, so she gritted her teeth and held up from the ground with pain. She rushed to Nafei in two steps, grabbed the cold little hand and pushed her into the corner next to her.

"Hide here and don't move!"

Sally gritted her teeth and lifted the wooden chair to block Nafei's body, but she didn't notice that the little girl's eyes had quickly recovered from calmness, no longer as stiff as a few seconds ago.

"Bang!"

A shadow arrow penetrated a hole in the wall. Sally raised her hand to block the splashing wood chips and turned around and wanted to leave the room. However, as soon as she took two steps, she heard Nafi's voice coming from behind: "Big sister, the potion on the third row of the bookshelf...you may use it!"

As her eyes turned, Sally immediately saw a dark blue conical bottle. From the color of the potion, she immediately judged that it was a magic potion!

Sally didn't know why Nefi knew that she had insufficient mana, and she didn't have time to tell the authenticity of the bottle of potion... She turned her head and found that the enemy outside was completely surrounding her team!

At this time, there was no choice. Sally immediately picked up the potion and took it. The instant burning sensation of her body made Sally confirm her judgment. After the potion acted, her mana quickly began to recover. Although it was not much, it was enough to make her face the next battle.

He raised his hand to cast the "Recovery Technique" for himself. Sally took a deep breath, stepped out of the wooden house, and immediately cast the "Sacred Shield", "Intermediate Healing Technique" and three or four blessing spells on the surrounding team members.

With just a momentary reaction, we can see that Sally's title of "White Scythe" is definitely not a false name. She just casts seven magical techniques in succession, and the defense line around her that was about to collapse immediately stopped the decline!

"Hold the shield to defend!"

"Shield ready!"

Sally's command forced the team to stabilize morale. Because of her outstanding talent in "blessing spells", her several powerful enhancement spells immediately doubled the strength of several subordinates holding sword and shield, and even cut down two close shadow priests on the spot...

With the counterattack rhythm of one person driving the entire team, Sally's ability to grasp the battlefield is undoubtedly highlighted at this time, but there are too many enemies after all. In order to avoid being surrounded, Sally understands that she can only choose to fight and retreat.

She glanced behind her and confirmed that no one noticed Nafi hiding in the corner. She immediately ordered loudly: "Closing the front line! Go north!"

"Raising the shield to cut off the back! The magician supports defense and pay attention to cover!"

The nearly 100-strong team lost more than 20 people in just a few minutes, but when Sally organized a counterattack, the casualties immediately dropped by half, and the team was able to move slowly under the protection of the formation... Even if the enemy cavalry rushed from left to right, they never stopped with the cover of the village buildings.

All this seemed quite smooth, but Sally had just walked thirty or forty meters with the team, and stopped again because of a team that appeared in front.

She had just recovered a little confidence and narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn't help but clench her fists.
