Chapter 146 Sacrifice
"Block! Block!"
"Don't let them touch the rope!"
At the crack in the mountain, Jennard, Nokman and others were commanding the mercenaries to resist the foragers' attack. It was obvious that the foragers behind them had finally caught up.
In such an environment, the mercenaries basically don't have much room to dodge and can only hold up their shields to resist. However, because of the narrow terrain, the range they need to defend against the foragers' attacks is also much smaller.
Mercenaries continued to be injured and killed, and foragers continued to be killed. After a while, the corpses alone filled the cracks under the feet. Although it was a bit soft when stepping on them, it was better than accidentally getting your feet stuck in the cracks.
many.
The place where the rope stretched out of the mountain wall was where the most intense fighting took place. At this time, there were more than 20 mercenaries on the opposite side who had not come over. In order to protect the rope from being attacked by foragers, the mercenaries and foragers who died here were killed.
Those are the most.
Some unlucky mercenaries were even hit by the forager's corpse while crawling over, causing them both to fall into the abyss and stay here forever.
"Isn't Mu Yun back yet?" Gennard shouted to the people in front after instructing his team members to defend.
"Not yet!" Schward, who was holding a large shield at the front and resisting the attack of the foragers, glanced around in the direction he came from and replied anxiously.
"Damn it!" Nockman smashed away the charging forager with a hammer, and then looked at Jennard, "This rope could break at any time, and he shouldn't have been allowed to leave just now! And now the opposite side is better than this side.
It’s still dangerous, if you wait any longer it will be too late!”
"Now it just depends on his luck."
Gennard was also a little helpless. Their relatively small teams had all come over, and now only the teams of Gould and Sharon and a few of the two mercenary teams that had been put together were left on the opposite side.
Some people didn't come.
They were climbing the rope very quickly, but only two ropes also limited their speed. Just when Jennard and Nockman, the last people in their team, had just climbed more than halfway, they were looking for food.
The one has arrived.
After seeing the mercenaries on the rope, the foragers seemed to have seen prey, and immediately accelerated towards them, almost breaking the long rope.
In the end, it was Schward and the others who reacted in time, flying away the oncoming foragers to attract their attention, and Gennard and the others were able to escape. Then others also reacted and quickly organized a defense line.
On the edge of the original ravine, although there was no attack from the foragers, the remaining people encountered a greater crisis. Shortly after the foragers arrived, the chasing ghosts also arrived.
Compared with the foragers that were still able to withstand the killing, the remaining mercenaries faced the attack of the ghosts and lost a lot of people at the beginning. The swords could not hurt them, and the mercenaries caught by them were short.
He was sucked and fucked in a matter of seconds, leaving the rest of the group feeling terrified and even more difficult to resist.
In particular, one of the ghosts was larger than the other ghosts. It emitted a faint blue light with a hint of purple. Its own killing alone was worth the siege of other ghosts.
In the end, with the cooperation of Gould and Sharon, they relied on spell scrolls to eliminate several other ghosts except the big one, but there was nothing they could do about the big one.
After Gould threw a second-level spell scroll and found that the damage to the ghost was limited, he decisively threw the only fourth-level flame shield in his hand to block the ghost.
Seeing that the ghost kept attacking the shield, but could only make ripples in the shield without entering even one point, Gould finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face became a little gloomy, "This is trouble, this ghost is at least the third level.
Yes, all the spell scrolls I brought have been used up."
At the same time, he felt some regret in his heart. If he had gone there earlier, he would not have been in a dilemma. Although the rope was right next to him, no one dared to rush over and climb to the other side, because the big ghost had just been killed.
They showed its horror. They might just grab the rope and be sucked into it by the ghost.
If Mu Yun were here at this moment, he would be surprised to find that the appearance of this ghost is basically the same as the one he met in the woods, except that it is a little bigger. When the ghost dispersed and searched, he didn't know whether it was luck or bad luck.
Mu Yun encountered one.
Sharon also frowned, but he didn't have Gould's regretful thoughts. As a general of the Kingdom of Bonia, he was famous for his love for his soldiers in the royal city, and he was always willing to face danger.
He personally takes the throne, and therefore many people are willing to follow him on missions.
"General, you go first! I'll attract the ghost's attention!"
When the scene fell into silence for a while, a short soldier in the Kingdom Guard gritted his teeth and looked at Sharon firmly and said.
"Yes! I'm coming too, General, you can't die here!" The other remaining soldiers also reacted and persuaded Sharon.
"No!" Sharon said angrily when he heard the soldiers' words, "How can you sacrifice your lives in vain? There is still a way!"
On the other side, the mercenaries from the Mercenary Guild also reacted and began to dissuade Gould.
"Captain, go ahead first! We will cover you."
"That's right! Captain!"
Gould looked at the surrounding team members with hesitant expressions on their faces. He treated his team members well, so he couldn't bear to let them stay here to rear.
But if no one sacrifices, the mercenaries here can only wait until the source of the shield is exhausted and then die one by one. The key is that now all his scrolls have been used up, and each scroll is valuable. A first-level scroll like this
It's already pretty good that he can get so many of them in Secret Realm.
Seeing his captain's hesitation in making the suggestion at first, the soldier clenched his fists and rushed out.
"Jock! Come back!"
Sharon was shocked when he saw this scene, and just as he spoke to stop it, the young man named Jock had already rushed outside the shield and raised his long sword to strike at the ghost.
"General, leave quickly!"
The remaining soldiers also reacted, and a few of them rushed towards the ghost to attract attention, while the others pulled the general and rushed towards the rope.
"No!!"
Sharon yelled in pain, but it was too late to stop Jock now. Jock's sword passed through the ghost's body without causing any damage, but it successfully attracted the ghost's attention. That's all.
In just a few seconds, Jock was sucked in by the ghost and turned into a human being.
If he delayed any longer, more people might die, and if he took the time, he might even die a few more. So Sharon glanced at Jock and the other soldiers who had already rushed over, and without hesitation, he grabbed the rope and climbed to the other side.
go.
"You guys should leave quickly too!"
"No, General, you go first, and we will go over after making sure it's safe!"
Hearing this, Sharon held the rope and glanced back at the people. Seeing the determination in their eyes, he closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, nodded slowly, said nothing more, and quickly got up.
Gould was also pulled to another rope by the team members, but he did not hesitate for long. He just told the team members to come over quickly and quickly climbed up the rope.
The remaining two improvised teams of skirmishers also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to leave, but were stopped in front of the rope by Sharon's soldiers.
"What are you doing! Get out of the way! Don't drag us with you if you want!"
"Go away! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Seeing that their escape was blocked, many people turned red-eyed and drew their weapons and pointed them at the soldiers. The atmosphere became tense at this moment.
"No one is allowed to pass before our general has passed!"
Not to be outdone, Sharon's soldiers also drew their weapons from their waists and pointed them at the mercenaries. Fortunately, they gathered here, and the ghosts' attention would be attracted here, but if they were all tied up, they would undoubtedly become ghosts.
The target will also affect people who have already passed over there.
So in order to prevent accidents, they have to delay here for a while. As for whether there is a chance to escape, they have already decided from the moment they stay here.
Gould's team members originally wanted to follow behind, but when they saw Sharon's soldiers guarding here, they understood their intentions. After hesitating for a while, they made up their minds and followed in front of the rope.
"You are seeking death!"
The mercenaries who were blocked suddenly became angry. Seeing that their hope of escape was blocked, they didn't care who was blocking them. They raised their weapons and slashed at the soldiers.
Since both teams have divided some people to attract ghosts, the number of guarding soldiers even if Gould's team members are included is still fewer than those of the mercenaries, but they are not afraid of death, facing the swords of the mercenaries, regardless of their own safety
Injuried.
But those mercenaries cherished their lives, and for a while they were unable to break through the soldiers' defense and therefore reached a stalemate.
"Since you won't let me pass, then your general will die with us!"
A mercenary who was so angry that he saw that the ghosts over there had already eliminated the soldiers who were blocking him, came towards this side, and aimed at the rope that Shalon was climbing with his sword, even though he was injured.
The guarding soldiers did not expect that these mercenaries would behave like this. By the time they reacted, it was already too late. The rope broke with the mercenaries' movements.
"catch!"
Although he failed to stop the mercenary's attack, a young soldier reacted quickly and quickly grabbed the rope to stop his fall.
Sharon, who was climbing the rope, was also shocked when the rope broke. However, he was not far from the crack in the mountain and was about to grit his teeth to resist when the rope stopped falling again.
Sharon immediately didn't care to look back, and took this opportunity to speed up again, and finally climbed into the crack with the help of Schward.
"Thank you." He finally breathed a sigh of relief after entering the fissure salon, and quickly turned his head to look to the other side, but the tragic scene before his eyes made him clenched his fists involuntarily.
Chapter completed!
