The noises and muffled sounds from the battlefield made everyone feel as if their hearts were gripped by a giant hand. Sally looked at the team running away desperately, and her heart was filled with despair … Choosing to "escape" meant that their morale would inevitably fall to the bottom — No matter how many victories they had accumulated before, how much confidence they had built in their hearts, at this moment, they had all lost the courage to fight the enemy.
And how could an exhausted and cowardly team escape from the more than 300 pursuers behind them?
After running for only a few hundred meters, Sally looked back and found that the enemy was speeding up … The approaching footsteps and hooves made Sally consider whether she should choose to separate a "suicide" team — But before she could give the order, the soldiers in front sent another warning: "Captain! There is a large number of troops in the front left … "
"What?!"
Sally suddenly stopped, and when she looked to the front left, she found that there was a cloud of dust in the distance, and there was actually an uncountable number of troops crossing the low slope, rushing towards the battlefield!
Escaping from the encirclement, everyone immediately thought that it was another unit of the enemy. But when the horn sounded and several gold-and-red flags appeared in their field of vision, the soldiers who had lost hope instantly cried out in surprise.
"It's reinforcements!"
"The reserve team is here!"
"Holy Light bless us! Our reinforcements! "
Countless people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Sally looked at the reinforcements in a daze, and whispered: "According to the plan, they shouldn't have come …"
But such doubts were quickly drowned in the cheers of the soldiers, because the more than 300 pursuers in the distance had stopped and began to retreat.
They were saved!
Sally knew that her team was out of danger — But because they had abandoned almost all their equipment when they escaped, now the combat strength of the team had dropped to the lowest point, and because their physical strength was approaching the limit, she could not choose to continue fighting, and could only order: "Continue forward, go to the village in front to rest!"
Looking at the large number of reinforcements that had rushed into the main battlefield in the distance, Sally did not have much joy in her heart, but frowned —
"This formation … is not right."
And just as she said this in a low voice, hundreds of meters away in the dust, Roddy, was cursing: "A bunch of idiots!"
He was really mad at this time, so much so that he shouted this dirty word while wearing a bishop's robe.
Before joining the battlefield, Roddy knew that he could not have the power to command the battle, so he was always in the middle and rear of the team — and according to his expectations, no matter how many enemies there were in the front line, this mobile team would always be able to find the right way to cut into the battlefield and play a "decisive" role.
If there were not many enemies, they could directly attack and instantly destroy the enemy morale; if there were too many enemies, they could break the siege of the main force and lead the troops to counterattack.
But these were all actions that Roddy would take as the commander, and at this moment, the bishop who was commanding this team made a decision that Roddy thought was extremely stupid: When they were still two kilometers away from the enemy, he suddenly ordered the whole team to press forward and accelerate the charge!
Obviously, this bishop did not have any large scale battle experience, or it could be said that he did not have the mental quality to be calm enough. Seeing that the main force of the "Rose Cross" was surrounded, the first thing he wanted to do was to rush to the rescue — Although this idea was good, in fact, he had neglected the two biggest taboo issues of "long distance charge" and "attacking without reserve troops"!
The soldiers had limited physical strength, wearing armor and holding weapons, after running for two kilometers, they would definitely be exhausted, and would not have much energy left to fight. And the action of "not leaving reserve troops" was even more stupid, because it meant that if there was a change in the situation, there was no way to deal with it!
Roddy fiercely cracked his horse whip, in the midst of the thick smoke, he had no right to speak at all, and just as he was about to find the bishop to reason with, he realized that the bishop had already hidden somewhere.
But the reinforcements still had a certain effect: "Viper Cross" was completely frightened by the two thousand people charging at them from the side, troops that attacked from the back were usually able to deal a fatal blow — So at this moment, the rear troops of these cultists were instantly dealt a heavy blow!
And their original encirclement, due to the shrinking of the front line, had a huge gap.
According to their expectations, as long as the reinforcements could defeat the main force of the enemy, they would be able to make contact with the core of the "Rose Cross" and lead them to counterattack!
But the anticipated "crushing" scene did not appear, although the exhausted reinforcements waved their weapons with all their might, releasing divine arts, the entire team had already lost their drive on the two kilometer long road, and at this moment, like a blunt knife, their attack power was sharply reduced, and they actually could not defeat the main force of the enemy, and instead, were in a stalemate!
"What a f * cking stupid teammate!"
Roddy covered his face in pain: From his point of view, the reinforcements had basically lost the chance to counterattack because of the commander's stupid order!
But at this moment, he could not leave, even after confirming that Mogra Village was not involved in the battle, he still could not confirm where Sally was, and the only way now, was to rush into the encirclement and personally ask …
Roddy spurred his horse, directly rushed through the gap in the encirclement, and then directly plunged into the scattered main force of the "Rose Cross" —
"Does anyone know where Captain Sally is?"
Riding on his war horse, he loudly asked the troops for Sally's whereabouts, but because most of them had just walked out of the forest, they had not confirmed each other's position, so Roddy's question did not get an answer.
This situation made Roddy's tensed face even more gloomy, after repeated disappointment, a gradually surfaced thought made his heart turn cold — could it be that she had already …
"It's going to be fine, it's going to be fine …"
Roddy grabbed the short bow by the side of the saddle, forcefully suppressing the messy thoughts.
The surrounding soldiers were getting denser and denser, Roddy simply jumped off the horse, grabbed one by one, and fortunately … his question finally got an answer … A soldier who was stopped by Roddy replied loudly: "I just saw Captain Sally's team successfully break out of the encirclement, they should be out of the encirclement now …"
"Really?!"
Roddy took a deep breath, a huge boulder in his heart finally lifted, but before he could feel any joy in his heart, he found that the whole sky had suddenly darkened!
"What's going on?!"
"What is this?"
Exclamations sounded, causing the troops to become even more chaotic, the soldiers looked up at the sky, and then saw a purple fog descending from the sky …
This purple fog instantly descended on the fierce battlefield, forming 60 to 70 huge "Shadow Guards"!
"Level 4 Guard? Advanced to level 35 Shadow Priest?! "
Roddy immediately frowned, he knew how powerful a "Shadow Priest" of this level was. Although he had defeated opponents who were above level 30 like Magda, a "Ranger" and a "Shadow Priest" were completely different existences, after advancing to level 30, one could only understand the terrifying power of a mage after advancing to level 30. Roddy knew that facing such a powerful preacher and thousands of enemies, he could not change the situation at all.
He looked around, because "Rose Cross" had reinforcements, they could still avoid the fate of being completely annihilated in the following battle. At this point, Roddy believed that he had done everything he could do, he did not have the ability to stop the enemy's avalanche of attacks, nor could he change the idiotic orders given by the "Rose Cross" commanders.
Not afraid of a godly opponent, but afraid of a useless teammate, this was the true portrayal of Roddy at this moment.
