Chapter 172 The royal family escapes and prepares for a sneak attack

Burrett left the church distraught.

Defending is definitely impossible. There are more than a dozen epic wizards in the Truth Society, and including High Priest Lysa, there are only seven epic wizards in the royal capital.

These epics also have their own agendas. Needless to say, the three epics from the royal family will definitely run away.

"Alas, has the empire fallen to this point?"

Burrett sighed and returned to the carriage. Before the horses could run, a knight came running over quickly on a war horse.

The knight shouted loudly: "Count Burrett, there is something strange happening outside the city. Dark wizards have begun to gather near the city wall."

Burrett's expression changed. He forced himself to calm down and quickly ordered the knight: "Go and notify the church and the major wizard towers and ask them to send priests and wizards to support you. As many as they can come."

After saying that, the man urged the knight in front to drive the carriage and run towards the city wall.

Ten minutes later, the carriage came galloping. Burrett got off the carriage and quickly summoned the knights to climb the city wall.

Looking outside the city, hundreds of dark wizards gathered towards the city wall with strange eyes. The deformed parts of their bodies pulsed and glowed red, like some kind of evil sacrificial blood patterns.

Burrett's eyes were solemn. When all the knights arrived, he commanded: "Fire the arrow."

The muscles in the hands of the surrounding knights were pulsating, the bow strings were tightened, and the arrows were shot out quickly.

Arrows fell all over the sky, and the dark wizard looked up indifferently.

In the group of dark wizards, an old wizard raised his staff and activated his witchcraft.

A large amount of black mist emerged from the other wizards, and then filled the sky above everyone. When the arrows were shot, they lost momentum instantly and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Burrett looked at the knight next to him and asked, "Are those wizards here?"

The knight quickly responded: "Two epic wizards have already arrived."

"Over at the church, High Priest Lysa is also on the way with the Holy Girl."

Burrett nodded and continued to watch the actions of the dark wizard below.

What he didn't expect was that after being attacked, the group of dark wizards actually retreated into the wild forest.

Before he could figure it out, some chaotic footsteps sounded in the dark night, and he saw dense red lights shining slightly at the end of his field of vision.

Burrett was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.

He discovered that those dense red lights were all distorted dark creatures!

Although he didn't know how the dark wizard was able to drive the dark creatures, it was obvious that he had no time to think about it.

Burrett anxiously gave the attack order to the knights, and then looked back at the knights he had brought from the earl's collar.

"Knights, use rune equipment freely!"

Burrett's voice sounded, and the knights nodded and showed off their gauntlets.

In fact, these knights are not considered witch knights, and their meditation skills are not even up to the level of apprentices.

But the rune equipment they carry is loaded with some very simple three-rune witchcraft, which even an ordinary knight team can barely drive.

The power of a three-rune witchcraft may be a little weak, but if it is released by an entire team of knights at the same time, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, even a small three-rune witchcraft may exert a completely different power.

Under the city wall, the roars of dark creatures came closer and closer, and black mist filled the air.

The feather arrows kept shooting. Under the influence of the knight's huge power, the power of each arrow was astonishingly terrifying. Every second, several dark creatures would be connected with the feather arrows, and the dark creatures fell like wheat being cut.

go.

In the first few minutes of the battle, more than a few hundred dark creatures were killed or injured. This number seemed like a lot, but it was insignificant in the entire vast beast tide.

Looking from a distance, the flashing red light has no end in sight.

Fortunately, these dark creatures seem to come from the surrounding wilderness or the border of the Dark Land, and not from the depths of the Dark Land.

You must know that the dark creatures in the border are much more terrifying than the dark creatures in the empire, and even epic creatures will appear.

He wasn't afraid of just one or two epic creatures, but if there were hundreds or thousands of them, they wouldn't even be able to resist.

"Roar!!"

The beast tide soon surged under the city wall like a tide, and black mist filled the air, blocking the starry sky.

At this time, the knight behind Burrett was also ready.

Under the incomprehensible gazes of some knights, the gauntlets on the hands of these knights from the Earldom of Kutz shimmered, and balls of purple fireballs shot out towards the bottom of the city wall.

boom!

The dense purple fireballs smashed into the beast tide and exploded in an instant.

The dark creatures roared and rolled all over the ground, emitting a burning smell from their bodies.

A few minutes later, thousands of corpses of dark creatures were left under the city wall. The dark creatures stepped on these corpses and continued to climb toward the city wall.

When Bert looked back, the knights' faces turned pale. It was obvious that their spirit had reached its peak.

Seeing this, he waved his hand and shouted: "Give the rune gauntlet to the knight next to you, quickly."

The knights of Kutz were stunned, and they took off the rune gauntlets and clasped them on the hands of the confused knights.

Seeing that they were still in a daze, Burrett loudly urged: "Use your mental power to trigger it quickly."

When the knights heard this shout, they all came back to their senses and input their spirits into it. Countless purple fireballs fell downwards. Some dark creatures were already wrapped in a ball of flames before they could climb up, and fell with a scream.

He got into the beast tide and ignited other dark creatures.

For a time, the beast tide was in chaos, and the knights finally got a chance to breathe.

It's just that Burrett's face was solemn and he didn't relax at all.

He knew that this situation would not last long, and those knights had exhausted their mental energy after just releasing a round of witchcraft. If this continued, sooner or later all the knights would be unable to touch the rune equipment.

But apart from using rune equipment, he had no other way to deal with it. He could only urge the knights to give the rune gauntlets to knights who had not used witchcraft and let them trigger the rune gauntlets.

All the time, knights would climb up the city wall, release purple fireballs, and then retreat after exhausting their mental energy.

The knights took turns going into battle, and the situation improved a lot.

This situation lasted for more than ten minutes, and finally the wizards and priests from the royal capital rushed over.

The two epic wizards who arrived were named Emeka Ezugo and Dino Gavric. They were both well-known figures in the royal capital.

Behind them, Isabel helped High Priest Lysa climb the city wall.

The two wizards didn't waste any time after climbing onto the city wall. They faced the beast tide and raised their staffs.

Bang!

White light shined from the city wall. In an instant, the light filled the battlefield and illuminated the dark wizard hidden in the forest.

The next second, a hole seemed to open in the sky, and a strong wind fell from mid-air.

Buzz buzz!!

The strong wind was like a sharp blade, and a black bear instantly dispersed into blood mist.

The wind blade was bloodthirsty, and the beast tide was instantly defeated, leaving a bloody clearing in the middle of the battlefield.

After seeing this, Burrett couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside Brett, Isabel also stepped forward.

I saw her hands clasped together, and the golden crown on her head bloomed with dazzling light.

The girl's eyes narrowed, and she raised the ball of light in her hands above her head. Then she let go of her hands, and the ball of light floated away into the wild forest.

call out!

A beam of light shot out from the light group, and there was a loud bang. All the dark creatures along the way were turned into charcoal, and a pit was formed on the ground.

The light group was like a floating cannon, harvesting the dark creatures on the field under Isabel's mental control.

Then the light group got closer and closer to the wild forest, and a ray of light shot through.

Sizzle!

Black mist rose, blocking the light beam.

Isabel was stunned. Under her gaze, the black mist surged and swallowed up the light group.

However, these dark wizards did not fight back after being attacked. After taking a look at the city wall, they retreated into the dense forest.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and suddenly there was another rushing sound. Everyone looked into the darkness and saw that the dense beast tide appeared again, and the number was even greater than before.

Burrett's expression was ugly, "Damn it, how come these dark wizards suddenly have the ability to control dark creatures."

The epic wizard named Emeka glanced at him, waved his staff and released witchcraft again, "No matter what, let's deal with the beast tide first, otherwise we will all be trapped in the royal capital."

"These beasts have surrounded the entire king's capital, and there are dark wizards watching from outside..."

Having said this, Emeka shook his head and did not continue, but it was obvious that he was not optimistic about the situation.
To be continued...
