In the valley, the battle seemed to have stopped all of a sudden, and it became quiet.
The sound of wings flapping in the wind broke the silence, but Tagiv's reaction was quick. In the dark underground of Jorgendy Ridge, there were creatures with the ability to fly, such as harpies and some dragon-like creatures. Among the spells passed down from generation to generation, there were some that were specifically used to deal with the enemy's aerial forces. For example, a large number of anti-flight spells, just like what the Subterrane Dweller witch doctor was doing.
It raised three fingers, with its index and middle fingers pointing forward, forming a triangle with its thumb.
“TasDam！ (Domain of Stagnation) "Tagiv accurately read out the two runes with its sharp voice. The anti-flight spell used by the witch doctor was a type of rune spell. Legend had it that the two runes were once in the hands of the witch Northwind, but they were lost in the land. Since then, the runes had been widely spread and were used by mortal spellcasters.
In short, Brando understood that the two runes were meant to seize control of the air from the Northwind's spell. Depending on the power of the spellcaster, the area of restriction would be different.
For a low-level witch doctor like Tagiv, he could not deprive more than ten units of the ability to fly.
Moreover, it was unlikely that he could cast a second spell.
Brendel raised his head and saw that the space in front of the goat's head had stagnated. The two Archangels seemed to have been locked down by some kind of invisible spell. After stopping in their tracks, they fell from the sky dozens of feet away and crashed heavily onto the ground like meteors.
He saw a cloud of dust a hundred meters away.
"Ah!" Scarlet's eyes reflected the same scene, and she couldn't help but cry out in shock. She was distracted for a moment, and the Earth Spirit Bear in front of her hit her with its flail.
"Don't be distracted, it's fine over there." Brando supported Scarlet who was staggering back, and his expression showed that he was not too worried about the angels he summoned. He retracted his gaze from that direction and asked, "How are your injuries?"
Scarlet shook her head. The Bugbear Goblin's attack was merely a beginner silver-level attack. It was not very effective against a gold-level rank-1. Moreover, she had the physique of an Oracle, so her recovery and defense were much better.
Brando nodded and helped the red-haired girl to her feet. He frowned as he stared at the approaching row of Earth Spirit Bears. Compared to Tagiv's predicament, his current situation wasn't optimistic either.
He looked at the encirclement and ordered in a low voice, "Retreat."
Retreat?
Scarlet was taken aback. It had not been easy for them to carve a bloody path out of the tens of thousands of soldiers to get here. They were less than a hundred meters away from the flag of the Subterrane Dweller leader. If they retreated now, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
She could not help but look at the two angels suspiciously. Did the Lord trust them that much? After all, their goal was not as simple as killing Tagiv. However, after losing the ability to fly, she found it hard to believe that they could still accomplish their goal.
"Sir Lord?"
"Listen to my orders," Brando said in a deep voice.
Scarlet was slightly startled, and after hesitating for a moment, she had no choice but to nod.
… …
On the other side, just as Brando expected, Tagiv was also in trouble.
As a Subterrane Dweller, it was a tribal leader and had seen many things. However, its knowledge was limited to the underground of Jorgendy Ridge. Just like how it faced the Harpies from the Dark Swamp, there were no other creatures in the underground of Jorgendy Ridge other than the Harpies.
However, it was proud of the fact that it not only knew about the Harpies, but it also knew about the Feathered Serpents and a legendary large bird on the surface.
Giant Eagle.
The Giant Eagle of the Wind Elves. There were records of this creature in the history of Tagiv's ancestors. It was a record of a war on the surface world. Although Tagiv didn't know why his ancestors would come to the surface world like it did, in that oral history, the creature that could fly higher, bigger, and more ferocious than the Harpy had left a deep impression on Tagiv.
Therefore, when the sound of the wings rang out, it immediately had such a conditioned reflex in its heart.
It knew that whether it was the Giant Eagle, the Feathered Serpent, the Harpies, or the dragon-like creatures in the underground world, they all had one thing in common. Once they lost their ability to fly, they would have a hard time moving on the ground.
Tagiv even went one step further. It subconsciously thought that all creatures with the ability to fly would become clumsy once they lost their ability to move. It was just like how a Subterrane Dweller would still stumble in the air even if it had the ability to fly.
This was a simple and easy to understand principle.
However, Tagiv did not expect that there would be Angels, Griffins, and other amphibious creatures in this world, not to mention the Dragons, which it had only heard of in legends.
This mistake was fatal from the start, and it could not be undone. Tagiv thought that it had missed the best time to withdraw the Bugbears from the frontlines to protect it. While it was waiting for the two humans to fall into a desperate situation, it soon heard a discordant sound.
The two 'Giant Eagles' that had been shot down actually began to dash towards it at a speed that was beyond its imagination.
Tagiv finally realized that it was in danger. However, it only had a few Subterrane Dwellers and a few Subterrane Dwellers that it could use. These motley crew were powerless in front of the two Silver-ranked Angels.
As expected, it soon 'heard' the sound of its own personal guards being defeated.
Then, it felt two cold blades on its neck.
The fact that they could use weapons meant that they were humanoid creatures with intelligence. They were obviously not Giant Eagles. Tagiv seemed to have understood their intentions, but it raised its head and tried to block their next words with the pride of a tribal leader.
"I … won't … surrender."
This was a stuttering Cruz language that it had learned from interacting with Graudin's envoys.
However, the two Angels did not say a word.
… …
When Tagiv said those words, the battlefield paused for a moment. The Subterrane Dwellers' hearing was extremely sensitive. Even though it was just a conversation at the center of the battlefield, it was transmitted to almost the entire battlefield.
Brando felt the change in the battlefield. He raised his head and saw the Giant Eagle fall to the ground.
However, the Subterrane Dwellers' change did not affect the Bugbears' hearing. Scarlett, who was in charge of protecting him, was sweating profusely and kept retreating.
Brendel grabbed the girl's collar and pulled her behind him without a word, then swung his sword forward. He carefully controlled his strength so that he would not collapse from exhaustion, and at the same time, he used the wind generated by the sword to force back the large creatures.
However, after this sword strike, even he could not help but feel a wave of dizziness.
"My lord?" Scarlett was shocked when she felt her collar being grabbed, but she did not resist when she realized that it was Brando who did it. Instead, she asked curiously.
"We're here." Brando replied.
Scarlett turned around and realized that they had returned to the edge of the battlefield.
"What do we do now?" She panted and asked doubtfully. Even though she saw the Giant Eagle fall, it did not mean anything. Even if Tagiv died, the Subterrane Dwellers on the other side of the forest would continue to attack Amandina.
The current situation was different from their original plan.
Brando shook his head and pulled Scarlett back as he snapped his fingers. Soon, the two of them saw a flash of silver charging out from the dark forest.
It was their Silver Warhorse.
… …
Amandina finally nodded when she saw Cornelius and Raban looking at her. "Inform the Acolytes to prepare their spells." Even though the nearest Subterrane Dweller was dozens of feet away from her, Amandina calmly stared at the direction of the wooden wall where the mercenaries were engaged in a tug-of-war with the Subterrane Dwellers. She replied in the same calm tone.
"Wait!" Jutta's voice came from behind everyone. They turned around and saw her cutting down a Subterrane Dweller with her sword and killing her way out from the other side.
At the start of the battle, Amandina was left behind on the southern wall when she went to check on her subordinates. It took her a lot of effort to kill her way back to them.
As soon as she appeared, she called out to the few people present.
Almost all of the spellcasters present were from her party, and she was well aware of the important role her people had to play in this battle. However, Jana was afraid that these people did not understand the situation, because not everyone among the mercenaries had the opportunity to use spellcasters on a large scale.
"Only a few spellcasters know how to use Silence. If the others want to form a formation to amplify the effect of the spell, it will consume their own strength. " Jutta took a deep breath and said: "What I want to say is that we only have one chance to use Silence on such a large scale. I know it's effective, but are you sure you want to use it now?"
"We don't have any other choice." Cornelius answered: "If we give up on the wall, we won't be able to fight this battle."
"Seize the opportunity to chase them down and buy us more time." Raban said.
Jutta turned around and looked at Amandina: "What happens after that?" She asked seriously.
"After that …" Amandina raised her head to look at the stars in the sky. It was already the latter half of the night, and she calmly replied: "There's no more after that. The only thing left for us to do is to wait for the news of our lord's victory."
Amandina's answer left everyone stunned.
