Tonight, fierce battles were taking place everywhere in Azure Bay.
Thanks to the bounty offered by Hastings and the Magic Association, thousands of adventurers and bounty hunters had gathered here. Among them, there was no lack of high-grade professionals. Most of them didn't flee after learning of what happened. Instead, they formed a line of defense along the coastline with the mages led by D 'Adarion.
After paying the price of over a hundred casualties, they finally managed to repel the first wave of monsters.
However, the crisis had only just begun. Although they had already killed more than three hundred monsters, the number of monsters in the sea did not decrease at all. Instead, more and more monsters appeared. Many people saw this scene and felt a chill in their hearts.
The battle had only started for half an hour. At this rate, they would not be able to hold on until the Little Beaver arrived. The adventurers and bounty hunters were still fine, but the mages had not held back in order to deal with the previous crisis. More than half of their mana had been consumed, and once they lost the support of their mana, the casualties of the melee professions would increase exponentially.
"How many residents have been evacuated? Is there any news from Supreme Great Mage Wiesenhair? "D 'Adarion asked the female mage who was in charge of communication.
"The city gate has just opened. Only one or two thousand people have left the city. Supreme Great Mage Wiesenhair lost contact with us ten minutes ago." The female mage hesitated for a moment.
"Why?" D 'Adarion raised an eyebrow.
"President, even if we can hold on until all the civilians escape the city, they won't be able to outrun those monsters on flat land."
"I know. Don't worry, I won't make any unnecessary sacrifices. I left two people to guard the teleportation circle of the association. If the situation worsens to a certain extent, we will leave Azure Bay from there. But first, we have to contact Supreme Great Mage Wiesenhair. Merlin's safety is of utmost importance. Even if we all die here, we have to send that guy out, "D 'Adarion said calmly.
"I understand. I'll send two more people to contact Supreme Great Mage Wiesenhair."
The monsters in the sea obviously did not want to give the people on the beach a chance to catch their breath. After a brief rest, they immediately charged again. D 'Addarion also unceremoniously chanted a grade-7 area-of-effect spell, burning all the creatures within a radius of tens of meters into a fireball. However, after that, more monsters rushed up from behind, filling the vacuum almost in the blink of an eye.
The originally peaceful and beautiful beach had now become a meat grinder. Blood and magic were flying everywhere, devouring the lives on both sides of the beach.
"The president's left flank was ambushed. Twelve Magicians were killed!"
"President, more than half of the adventurers and bounty hunters have died. We can't hold on much longer!"
"Guild leader, there are traces of monsters behind us … It's suspected that monsters have already infiltrated the city!"
More and more bad news came, and the situation was deteriorating rapidly. D 'Darion knew that he could not wait any longer.
"Notify the adventurers at the front. Tell them to maintain their formation and gradually retreat. Send two squads of Magicians to cover them. Once they regroup, immediately head to the branch and prepare to leave Blue Bay."
After giving the order, D 'Addarion pulled the female Magician in charge of communication. "What's the situation with Merlin? Did he leave?"
"I'm still trying to contact him, but there's no news from Supreme Magician Wiesenhair. The two people I sent out also lost contact with him not long after. Now that the city is full of monsters, I'm afraid they're already dead."
D 'Addarion thought for a moment. "How about this? I'll make the trip myself. You can replace me. Bring everyone to the branch. I'll find Supreme Magician Wiesenhair and Merlin, then we'll leave together. By the way, where was he the last time you contacted him?"
"15 Berwick Street. He told me that he seemed to have found the target," replied the female Magician.
… …
Berwick Street. The fierce battle between Wiesenhair and the shadow had been going on for more than a quarter of an hour.
Although Wiesenhair was a research-type Magician, he was still a level-nine Magician. After a few exchanges, Wiesenhair managed to figure out the level of the shadow. This guy who came out of nowhere should be a special branch of the Shadow Stalker class, and his strength was around level-eight.
There was a difference of one level between them. Coupled with the natural suppression of Magicians of the same class, this should have been an easy battle. However, the reality was far from it.
The black figure used his unbelievably high combat skills to make up for the difference in strength between the two of them. He kept slithering in the darkness, like a poisonous snake, waiting for the right moment to strike a fatal blow. Wiesenhaier had no choice but to put in all his effort.
He did not even have the time to reply to the vibration of the communication device at his waist.
However, as time passed, more and more troublemakers appeared, and the number of monsters in the city increased at an insane rate. The balance of victory was slowly shifting. The shadow hid in the dark and had a unique aura concealing technique. The monsters could not sense his presence at all when they stepped into the streets, so they focused on attacking Wiesenhair.
These monsters were not strong. They might be a nightmare to ordinary people and low-level Magicians, but they were no threat to a level-nine Supreme Magician. However, their numbers were still a little troublesome, not to mention that there was a terrifying enemy hiding in the dark, ready to strike at any time.
Wiesenhair could not help but feel a headache coming on. It had been quite some time since Merlin escaped. Even if he got rid of the shadow now, he might not be able to find him.
Thinking of this, Wiesenhair vaguely felt that he had grasped something important, but he could not figure it out. Only when another monster came out of the sewers and attacked him did Wiesenhair realize that it had been a full two minutes since the last time the shadow attacked him, and the guy had not made a move since.
His opponent's previous attack was so fierce that he even had an illusion that the two of them would fight to the death here tonight. However, in reality, the black shadow was only trying to buy time for Merlin to leave. Now that the time was almost enough, it was time for him to think about how to escape.
Damn it! Wiesenhair took off the communication device at his waist and hurriedly passed the news to the female Magician on the other side.
At this time, D 'Idarion was on his way to Berwick Street. After learning of the situation, he slightly adjusted his plan. He asked Wiesenhair to keep an eye on the city gate, and he changed his route to the Magic Association.
There were only two ways for Merlin to leave Azure Bay. He could either leave through the city gate or use the teleportation circle of the Magic Association. Of course, he could also use the teleportation circle of the Magic Association, but the possibility was not high. He should have found out that Hastings was hiding in Azure Bay not long ago, so there was not enough time.
