Heart of Empire Chapter 423: Breakthrough
Wiping off the purple-black blood that stuck to his face and splashed out from the big mouth of the Nightmare Corruptor that was pierced by him, Dane looked down at Freya who fell on the ground. , didn't say a word of nonsense, and asked directly:
"Where's the tentacle?"
Don't think that Dane is here to rescue these Templars, it's just by the way. ??He doesn't care about the life and death of these temple knights represented by Freya at all, all he cares about is Cthulhu's tentacle.
Freya was stunned by his appearance, she raised her stiff hand and pointed backward. She was referring to an elderly priest who seemed to be the oldest in the priesthood.
Dane walked along her fingers, came to the priest, and stretched out his hand.
The old priest was holding a brass-like box, on which was engraved with the pattern of an angel in a hollow technique. In the center of the box, there is a groove, on which is inlaid a diamond that emits glistening white light. There is no doubt that that diamond must be the legendary sacred diamond that can suppress all demons in the world.
Sacred diamonds are rare treasures in this world, but as the overlord of a party, Dane can't catch such things. The tentacles of the evil **** that were temporarily suppressed in the box were what he really longed for.
The old pastor seemed to understand what Dane meant. He held the box tightly in his arms and said vigilantly: "This evil god's tentacles are going to be sent to the Holy Child Cathedral for purification. They are truly evil things. , Lord Dane, don't..."
Too lazy to listen to his nonsense, Dane stretched out his hand directly, and before he finished speaking, he directly pulled the box over.
How can a priest compare with Dane in terms of strength?
Dyne's actions made the surrounding atmosphere tense. Seeing that the thing he desperately protected fell into his hands, the paladins and gods around him closed their doors, and they all felt tense. They were at a loss. If the sealed box fell into the hands of the enemy, they would have nothing to say, and they would try their best to get it back. But in this situation, they really don't know what to do.
They looked at Freya, who had just stood up from the ground, clutching her arms and shoulders, as if they wanted to hear her opinion.
The first thing that came to the female knight's mind was the scene of Dane leading the army to kill the nightmare corrupter with a single sword in the fire and moonlight.
She bit her lower lip lightly, and said, "Let the lord take care of the seal box, can we break through now?"
Dyne glanced at her and was very satisfied with the female knight's sense of time. He said: "Yes, let your people get up, I won't wait for you here, and prepare to break through immediately!"
A moment later, everyone who could stand up followed closely behind Dane, heading towards the front of the passage.
After crossing the corpse of the Nightmare Corruptor, a squadron of nightsaber elf cavalry was on standby, and before them, the high-ranking mage Easterling and the high-ranking priest Asrol were also waiting for Dane's arrival. return.
Dain casually handed the box to the priestess, told her to keep it safe, and asked the entire Nightsaber Squadron to protect the priestess before leaving. And in a place further ahead, fierce battles are in full swing.
After his army attacked this area and found Freya and the others, they cleaned up all the Faceless Men in this area.
This is not an easy task, especially when there are endless enemies coming from the direction of the dungeon.
Dain's army did this at no small cost. The nightsaber cavalry had been holding on to the useless moonblades, and they threw them all out during this battle. Many moonblades were too late to take back, so many leopard cavalry could only fight with scimitars. As for the elite ranger troops, under the frantic and violent shooting, many people's arms were convulsed due to fatigue.
Finally, after reducing the number of enemies to an acceptable level as much as possible, the white wolf guards stepped up and firmly blocked the faceless men who were pouring in continuously in several passages outside.
It is true that the White Wolf Guards are elite, but objectively speaking, they are no match for the Templars. It had only been half an hour since they arrived here, and already fifty white wolf guards had died in battle, and quite a few were injured. If it weren't for the ranger troops behind to suppress with arrows, and the night saber cavalry to help fill the loopholes in the defense line and cull the faceless men who crossed the defense line, the number of casualties would have doubled or tripled.
Under the life-or-death onslaught of enemies far from their own, the battle facing Dane's army can be described as bitter.
Fortunately, now the goal has been achieved.
The order to break out and retreat was quickly issued. Under the order of the archer commander, the elf rangers no longer held back their hands. Even if their fingers were cut by the bowstring, they gritted their teeth and insisted on shooting bows and arrows~IndoMTL.com~ The dozens of mages who followed the army and hadn't made a move all this time also called out the power of magic, calling out flames or ice.
With the joint efforts of the caster and the shooter, they temporarily knocked the enemy back for a while. But immediately, more figures of the enemy were already faintly visible in the darkness, and it was estimated that they would rush over soon.
"Block the passage!" Dane yelled at Easterling beside him.
The high-ranking mage begins preparing spells immediately. With the waving of the staff, several stone walls quickly sealed off the entire passage.
"We have to leave immediately." Freya said next to Dane, "Our spellcasters have tried to use this kind of spell to block the passage before, and we even blew up the corridor, but it didn't take long in the end. These monsters will reopen the passage, and there is not much time left for us."
"Of course I know what to do." Dane replied with a serious face. While they were talking, the well-trained elite troops had already begun to retreat.
Under the constant trembling of the stone wall blocking the passage, all the soldiers under Dane's command set foot on the way back.
And not long after running back, there was a loud bang behind him—the stone wall must have been blown down!
"The White Wolf Guard is ready to meet the enemy! Another stone wall, Easterling."
"Okay."
Thus, under the protection of heavy shields and spells, the difficult road to return began.
Now, they are only a day away from the surface. But this day's road was not easy, until they saw the defense line set up in the tunnel by Sako's army, the loss of the entire army had already exceeded one-third.
But anyway, they have escaped. 8
