The next morning, the army of River Beach City assembled again.
After a night of rest, most of the soldiers were in good spirits.
Only a few of them looked like they hadn't rested well.
"Open the door."
Madeline's voice was a little hoarse.
Her eyes were slightly red, and it was obvious that she hadn't slept well. Ma Wen held Isabelle's hand and held the Holy Grail in his other hand. He stood there calmly as if what happened last night had nothing to do with him.
Madeline glared at Ma Wen with hatred.
She was a little angry last night, but this bastard actually went to sleep just like that.
Due to the existence of the law contract, she couldn't do anything to him!
This drove Madeline crazy. She had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only suppress it. As a result, the quality of the mayor's sleep was naturally not very good.
Plus, she had to choose spells in the early hours of the morning, so she didn't sleep at all.
Everyone saw Madeline's behavior, but no one dared to talk about it in private because of the mayor's fierce reputation.
Marvin noticed that the vampires were standing a little closer to the center of the room today.
When he looked at them, the cloaked man, Gavin, nodded at him, but Kanos, who was next to him, was a little unfriendly.
The people from the Church of Silver were also ready.
Under the resistance of a few Shield Bearers with great strength, the door that had been blocked opened with a bang.
"Pre …"
Before Madeline could finish her sentence, dozens of black shadows suddenly flew out from behind the door!
These black shadows pounced on the soldiers and knights. Even the chief wizards could not avoid them.
Gargoyles!
They had been hiding behind the door for a whole night.
A few unlucky soldiers were grabbed by the gargoyles and fell from the sky. No one knew if they were dead or alive.
Some were sneak attacked and scratched their heads. For a moment, the entire army was in a mess.
Madeline raised her finger angrily and smashed two fireballs, smashing two gargoyles into pieces.
The chief wizards also activated their force fields to protect themselves. They were ready to fight back.
However, it was useless.
More Gargoyles were flying out of the tunnel. Their flight was silent. Although they were slower than the Vampires, they were truly flying.
This was where they were in trouble.
For a moment, the people in the First Hall exclaimed one after another. The knights drew their swords and slashed, the Shieldbearers raised their shields to resist, and the people of the Church of Silver were also fighting for themselves!
More and more gargoyles appeared, and in an instant, there were more than 200 gargoyles!
…
"This can't go on!"
"Damn it, even the Gargoyles, creatures that follow their instincts, can launch sneak attacks? It must be those banshees who instigated it. "
"As expected, reality and the game are very different."
Ma Wen's heart skipped a beat. He grabbed Isabel and protected her.
He looked at the chaotic hall and made a prompt decision. He raised the Holy Grail up high!
In the next second, he activated one of the magic halos on the Holy Grail — [Holy Light Banishment].
This was a spell that didn't have a strong physical effect, but it had a strong repelling effect against evil creatures.
Bright light shone from Ma Wen's hands, instantly illuminating the entire First Hall and the dark corridor.
Many Gargoyles chirped. Under the illumination of the Holy Light, they all folded their wings and entrenched themselves on the stone walls of the hall, staring at the people like tigers watching their prey.
The Holy Light Banishment didn't hurt them, but it made them feel very uncomfortable.
Gargoyles always followed their instincts or the orders of their master. Ma Wen knew that their master was a sleeping Lich. The Lich couldn't command the Gargoyles, so these evil creatures attacked the enemy based on their instincts.
"We have at most a minute!" Ma Wen shouted. "They will quickly adapt to the intensity of the Holy Light and launch a second round of attacks."
Madeline nodded, immediately giving the order, "Everyone, regroup!"
"Shieldbearers, protect the wizards. Knights, get into formation. Wanderers, disperse. Everyone, protect yourselves and the people around you. Don't let the Gargoyles catch you."
"The wizards are in charge of getting rid of all these guys!"
Madeline said through gritted teeth.
Because of her carelessness, she didn't let someone release a detection spell before opening the door, causing at least three soldiers to be sacrificed in vain. There were even more people who suffered heavy or light injuries.
This kind of low-level mistake could have been avoided!
"Calm down, you have to calm down." She gave Ma Wen a deep look. Now was not the time to settle personal grudges.
However, at this time, Ma Wen walked over with large strides. "What you're doing isn't the best choice."
Someone immediately drew his sword. "You dare question the city lord's orders?"
"I'm just stating a fact." Ma Wen looked coldly at Madeline. "This isn't the best choice."
"Gargoyles have an extremely high immunity to most witchcraft. Only forcefield-type witchcraft can cause considerable damage to them."
"Using spells to deal with the Gargoyles isn't worth it."
Medeline took a deep breath. Being questioned by Marvin in front of so many people, if it was anyone else, she might have just thrown a spell at them and killed them!
But she had no other choice. The law contract's effects were in effect.
"Then what do you want to do?"
She asked through gritted teeth.
Ma Wen calmly said, "Leave the temporary command of the attack on the second hall to me. I will perfectly lead you to destroy all of the monsters in the second hall! As long as you do as I say, I can guarantee that there won't be any more casualties! "
As soon as these words were said, everyone was in an uproar.
This Baron Ma Wen was too arrogant, right? Even if he was a guest invited by Madeline, he directly stole the host's place and even said that there would be no casualties in the second hall?
This was simply a madman!
They had all seen the attack of the Gargoyles just now. Dozens of Gargoyles pounced over, causing the sky to darken.
Wanting to destroy these flying units was an extremely troublesome matter.
According to Madeline's plan, it would already be quite good if a few people died.
Ma Wen actually said that he had a way to not suffer any casualties?
No one believed him.
Everyone's eyes were filled with coldness and doubt.
If he hadn't used the Magic Holy Grail to expel the Gargoyles and buy some time for everyone, someone might have already gone up to capture him.
Ma Wen did not pay attention to the others and only looked at Madeline.
… …
Madeline was in a bad mood!
Because this time, Ma Wen did not use the power of the law contract and spoke normally.
She really wanted to shake her head and say, "This is my army."
But looking at the sky full of Gargoyles, unless she was willing to use the four-circle spell or Collins took action, there would definitely be many casualties!
Others might not believe Ma Wen, but she did.
This guy knew the Scarlet Monastery like the back of his hand, as if it was his own home.
Yesterday, he used that kind of method to trick her into the secret room. It was clear that this person's thoughts were meticulous and would definitely not speak nonsense.
If he said that there would be no casualties, then there would definitely be no casualties.
Madeline took a deep breath.
"Thirty seconds left." Ma Wen reminded.
"Get lost!"
A knight among Madeline's personal guards was extremely angry. He directly pulled out his sword and fiercely stabbed towards Ma Wen.
"Stop!"
Madeline angrily shouted.
The entire hall became quiet.
The knight's movements froze. He hatefully looked at Ma Wen and stopped in place.
The Gargoyles on the ceiling seemed to be restless.
"If you fail, will you be able to bear the responsibility?" Madeline solemnly said.
"If I fail, the Magic Holy Grail will be yours." Ma Wen calmly said.
"But if I succeed, I only want the commander's share of the spoils of war. No problem, right?"
Madeline's heart was full of hatred. Motherf * cker, this old lady is already yours, yet you still want that bit of spoils of war.
What exactly was in this man's brain? No wonder he could chat so well with that old guy Collins.
… …
"The command is yours. You have less than twenty seconds to give the order. "
Madeline didn't look at Ma Wen. Instead, she coldly swept her eyes over the crowd.
She was expressing that everyone had to follow Ma Wen's orders.
Although many people were extremely unconvinced, and the knight who pulled out his sword was so angry that his face was completely red, they had no choice but to obey Madeline's orders.
Ma Wen stood out and looked at Collins. "The key to eliminating the Gargoyles lies with the knights of the Silver Church."
Collins smiled. "I am at your disposal."
Ma Wen immediately issued a series of orders. With a few simple sentences, he formed a set of special tactics to deal with the Gargoyles!
Some people revealed expressions of understanding and admiration. Others were suspicious, but they still did as he said.
The Gargoyles on the ceiling began to move.
However, it had to be said that the group of people Madeline had organized were indeed elites.
If it was an ordinary adventurer, they would probably need half a day to understand what Ma Wen was trying to do.
Unlike this group of soldiers, who immediately assembled according to Ma Wen's orders.
Tss tss tss!
A Gargoyle couldn't hold back and rushed into the range of the holy light.
The holy light made him feel uncomfortable, but his killing instincts still suppressed this feeling.
He aimed at a person who seemed to have the lowest armor and fiercely flew over at a low altitude!
In the next second, all the Gargoyles took off and surged towards the crowd.
More than a hundred Gargoyles were like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey. They were divided into several groups and came menacingly.
The knights of the Silver Church, on the other hand, tightly gripped the weapons in their hands.
This group of knights only had three small teams, about thirty people.
However, in Ma Wen's plan, the key to defeating the Gargoyles was these people.
…
Although there was light, the first hall suddenly became dark.
The first wave of Gargoyles rushed over.
"As expected." Ma Wen laughed. All the Gargoyles aimed at the Wizards with the lowest armor!
As for the Rogues, Ma Wen let them move stealthily. The Gargoyles wouldn't prioritize attacking them.
"After all, it's instinct …"
Beside every Magus was a Shieldbearer and a Knight of the Silver Church!
The first Gargoyle swooped down, wanting to grab the Wizard. The Shield Guardian immediately stopped it and raised his shield!
Shield Bash!
The Gargoyle's attack was thwarted. It was about to spread its wings and fly away. However, at this moment, the Knight of the Silver Church who had been preparing for a long time made his move!
Boom!
With a crisp sound, Guderian's hammer smashed into the waist of the Gargoyle and actually smashed the Gargoyle into pieces!
