A smell that excited the infected beasts came to them. The running figure suddenly stopped, turned around, and rushed in that direction.
Its movement led three of its kind. The four infected beasts ran in the soft forest and soon found the source of the smell. They raised their compound eyes and locked onto Kardashian, who had fainted and fallen to the ground not far away from them. They surrounded her excitedly. When they found that the target did not resist, they immediately waved their stingers and stabbed at her chest.
"Hiss!"
The stingers broke on Kardashian's robe, and the infected beast cried out in pain. Seeing this, the other beasts raised their stingers and stabbed at the same time. But the infected beasts were horrified to find that they could not break through the skin or the robe!
The leading infected beast twisted its body in exasperation and bit Kardashian's arm. It tore at Kardashian's arm with all its might, but it used too much force and broke a few teeth. When it was at its wit's end and was about to bite down on Kardashian's head, an arrow suddenly came and pierced through its head. The next explosion blew off its skull, and a large amount of purple blood splashed out.
The other infected beasts immediately turned around and prepared to attack, but they were killed by the arrow without any suspense. Natha's figure quickly rushed out of the forest, and she looked around with her short bow. The four barbarian soldiers behind her rushed to Kardashian's side and carried her back the way they came.
The unconscious Kardashian did not notice this at all. There was a huge bloody hole in her abdomen, and the middle of her robe was completely dyed red with blood. There were also many wounds on her face from the explosion. Her gray hair was disheveled, and part of it was burnt. Her face was ashen, and she no longer looked as arrogant as when she was ordering Roddy around.
Natha shot a signal arrow into the sky, and soon a group of dragon lance knights came to her aid. After breaking through the encirclement of more than ten infected beasts, they successfully brought the unconscious Kardashian back to the advancing team.
"Stop! Formation! Reserve team, reinforce the defense! Magicians, create bunkers — here, here, and here, quick! "
While another wave of infected beasts and Apocalypse Guards were annihilated, Roddy gave his orders one after another. The team of 300 stopped in the forest. Then, the High Elf Arcanists began to use the Earth Wall spell. With the help of Merlinsera, they quickly created a semi-circular wall that was more than 60 feet long.
These temporary "mud walls" were no more than two meters tall, but there was a five-meter-wide opening at every interval. There were four openings on the sixty-meter-tall wall, and the "infected beasts" that were charging blindly were unknowingly split apart. Then, the "infected beasts" were easily killed by squads of soldiers at the "city gates".
At this moment, the team was only about one mile away from the portal. However, due to the complicated and sloping terrain, it was not suitable for warhorses to charge. Therefore, Roddy decisively decided to fight a positional battle after saving Kardashian. For these strong and well-equipped soldiers, the best way to deal with these monsters was to use the Earth Wall spell to block them.
This was not an idea that Roddy had come up with on a whim. It was the experience of countless High Elves who had sacrificed their bodies to build a wall.
More than 700 years had passed, and the people of this world had completely forgotten how to defend against the invasion of the demons. However, Roddy's Demon Mastery skill allowed him to clearly understand what the demons were going to do next.
If they could not close the portal in time, everyone would be overwhelmed by the endless demon army!
This was also one of the reasons why Roddy had decided to advance. Currently, there were only a few people on this continent who knew what this portal meant, and the only one who knew how to close it quickly … was probably Roddy!
"Akasha! Try to wake her up! "
Roddy frowned as he looked at Kardashian who was being carried over. He summoned Akasha and began to cast healing spells on her. However, Dragons were Dragons after all. Kardashian's remaining 36% Health Points had only risen to 40% after a long time, and the debuffs of "dizziness" and "coma" were still affecting her.
The explosions and tremors in the distance were obviously announcing how powerful the creator of the portal was. If even the Dragons could not stop the enemy, Roddy had no intention of fighting them head-on.
He looked at the [Map Bar]. With the help of the "Tracking: Demon" skill, he marked the densely packed "infected beasts" and "Doomsday Guards". However, just as Roddy was trying to determine the direction of the enemy, he suddenly froze and looked down at his feet.
"This is … Cotherton?"
While he was muttering to himself, Roddy suddenly saw Merinsera, who had just finished building the "Earth Wall", walk over with a gloomy face. Her eyes were fixed on Kardashian, and a ray of light had already condensed in her palm …
This scene instantly made Roddy shiver. He quickly stood up and stood in front of Merinsera, grabbing her arm. However, he soon realized that he could not move her even with his strength.
"Merinsera!"
He used all his strength to grab her wrist and shouted in a low voice.
Akasha was frightened by Merinsera's and Roddy's expressions, and she stopped casting the divine spell.
The violent elemental fluctuations did not stop. Merinsera did not turn around, but continued to stare at Kardashian in silence.
She was also very conflicted at this moment. If she was the old Merinsera, with such a good opportunity in front of her, no one could stop her!
But what about Roddy?
Did he not know that she wanted revenge?
No, he definitely knew …
Thinking back to the experience of fighting alongside Roddy and coming to Tasman together, Merinsera suppressed her desire to kill and finally convinced herself to give Roddy a chance to explain himself.
"Now is not the time, Merinsera … Now is not the time." Roddy knew that no amount of reasoning could dispel the hatred in Merinsera's heart. He held Merinsera's wrist tightly and said in a low voice, "Since you have already gotten rid of them, don't expose your identity so easily."
He glanced at Kardashian, whose "unconscious" debuff was flashing, and knew that she was about to wake up. He quickly whispered something into Merinsera's ear, and the latter's tensed body finally relaxed. Then, she took a few deep breaths …
Akasha knew that Roddy was stopping Merinsera, but when she saw how close they were, and how Roddy was holding Merinsera's wrist, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart.
But she wasn't a stubborn person who liked to stand out, so she simply looked down and asked, "Do I still need to heal her?"
Roddy turned his head and immediately realized that this gentle lady was jealous. He quickly went to Akasha's side and said, "Continue … continue. Try a few more times."
Then, he gestured to Merinsera. "Hurry up and do as I say."
Merinsera's emotions were in a mess. She was angry because of hatred, but also inexplicably moved by Roddy's actions. But when she thought of what he said later, Merinsera gritted her teeth and immediately ran to the logistics area. She took out a bottle of "Intermediate Healing Potion" and ran over.
She personally rushed to Kardashian, uncorked the bottle, and poured it into her mouth …
"Pfft — Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
The "Coma" debuff finally disappeared. Kardashian, who was choking on the potion, spat it all over the floor. She coughed violently for a long time before she realized where she was. The first person she saw when she regained her vision was Merinsera, who was holding the potion bottle with an "anxious" look on her face. The latter shouted, "Your Excellency Kardashian, you're finally awake!" as she stuffed the potion into her mouth again.
Kardashian, who wanted to say something, poured a few more mouthfuls of potion into her mouth. But she wasn't as fragile as a human, so she forcibly suppressed the urge to cough and drank it after realizing that it was a healing potion.
"Burp —"
Kardashian burped in confusion. "Otillett? Roddy? Why are you here? I — "
She instantly recalled the scene when she was sent flying by Augustine, and her expression instantly changed. "Leave! This isn't something you can participate in! "
Although the Dragons had always been arrogant and annoying, they still had their principles at times like this. At least Kardashian didn't immediately think of letting Roddy and the others be cannon fodder.
And Roddy didn't have time to sigh. He quickly said, "We were planning to leave Tasman, but we happened to see you fall over there! Otillett saved you from those monsters, but he also provoked them into attacking my team … Your Excellency Kardashian, may I ask — who opened the 'Demon's Gate'? "
After hearing the first half of Roddy's words, Kardashian suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She glanced at Merinsera, who was "concerned" about her, and the soldiers who were fighting not far away. She was just about to say something when she was stunned by Roddy's last words. "You … How do you know about the 'Demon's Gate'?!"
*****
A thousand meters away, Augustine and the Red Dragon Lord were engaged in a fierce battle.
Queil's strength was a genuine "Demigod". As a Lord, his strength was limited even among the members of the Dragons. Although Augustine was over Level 60, he still hadn't crossed the threshold of a Demigod. He could bully the younger generation of the Dragons, but he definitely wasn't a match for a real Lord.
But now, not only was he able to withstand Queil's fierce attacks, but he was even able to make a threatening counterattack!
The battle between the two had already gone beyond the scope of "close combat". When they punched and kicked, the ground around them was constantly trembling like a volcanic eruption. The high temperature and impact plowed the ground over and over again. Crystal Dragon Essien couldn't even join in the battle.
In his human form, Queil didn't look like a High Elf. His beard and hair were like burning flames, and his body was strong and full of explosive power. At this moment, after forcing Augustine back, Queil looked at the teleportation gate that was continuously sending power to his opponent. He raised his hand and smashed a "Flame Blast" at it.
"Boom!"
The explosion and smoke enveloped the teleportation gate. The "Doomsday Guards" that had just rushed out were instantly killed. But after the smoke dissipated, the "Demon's Gate" seemed to be unaffected.
"Essien, destroy it!"
