At this moment on the top of the mountain, the battle is still going on.
“We can’t hold on any longer!!”
After manipulating the fire falcon to burn a frost giant to ashes, Hellion took a breath, and the flames on her body began to die out. Beside her, the elf girl rushed forward, raised her longbow, aimed at the goblin shaman in the distance, and shot an arrow, which accurately pierced the goblin shaman's neck. Then she immediately raised her hand and tried to pull out the next arrow from the quiver behind her, but she touched nothing.
"I'm out of arrows!"
"I, I can still hold on for a while, but Sagittarius will be moving soon!"
The astrologer was sweating profusely at this moment. The arrows she shot were still powerful and accurate, but her face looked quite pale. After all, an astrologer is essentially a spellcaster, and it is very strenuous for the astrologer to consume energy all the time.
"I still have three healing spells and two guardian armors..."
Fina also seemed to be struggling at the moment. Or rather, as a vanguard, she was not only responsible for resisting the attacks of the goblins and goblins, but also had to pay attention to healing her companions at all times. Compared with others, she was more tired.
"My offensive magic items... are almost exhausted..."
Katie also spoke weakly. As a ranger who had upgraded her stealth skill to an incredible level, she had hardly suffered any damage or attack. However, this young lady had a big flaw. The magic items in her hands had a limit on how many times they could be used. Right now, the limit for these items was almost reached.
"Priest girl! Be careful!"
At this moment, along with the dwarf's call, Fina suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind her head. She turned around quickly and saw a goblin screaming and raising the stick in his hand and smashing it down at her. Seeing this goblin, Fina was also shocked. She raised the shield in her left hand without hesitation and hit the goblin. With a "snap", the goblin hit by the shield immediately flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. Fina took the opportunity to step forward a few steps, and the meteor hammer in her hand whistled down, and with a "snap" sound, she smashed the goblin's head into a meat paste.
"We can't go on like this, we have to retreat!"
Seeing the monsters coming around, the Stonehammer Dwarves also showed nervous expressions. They had killed more than a hundred monsters in a row, including powerful enemies like the Frost Giant. As for the leaders of those monsters, they were immediately killed by everyone's concentrated fire. But what they didn't expect was that the other monsters did not retreat because of the death of their leader. Instead, they surrounded them from all sides and launched a fierce attack on them, which made everyone seem a little exhausted.
"Okay, let's immediately follow the plan, return the same way and retreat to the cave!"
Fina made a decision immediately. Fang Zheng had said before that if he was not around, Fina would take charge of the command. He trusted this priestess and recognized her ability. But now that Fang Zheng had not returned, Fina naturally took on her responsibilities.
"Katie, please take charge of the cover for a while. Miss Jasmine, you and Little M will secure our retreat. Mr. Dwarf, we are going to retreat!"
"ah--!!"
As soon as Fina finished speaking, the little fire dragon looked up and cried softly, and then a golden clock magic circle appeared above everyone's head and began to spin rapidly. With the appearance of this magic circle, everyone's speed suddenly increased a lot, and they seemed to have turned into a hurricane, and instantly distanced themselves from the monsters that surrounded them.
The goblins, jackals, and goblins obviously did not expect that the enemy, who seemed to be about to collapse from exhaustion, could actually move at such a speed, and they did not react for a while. When they came to their senses and rushed towards the crowd, Fina and the others were already about 300 meters away from them.
"Right now, Katie!"
"OK!"
Hearing Fina's order, Katie, who was in stealth mode, responded in a low voice, then she reached out and took out a small dressing box from her pocket, then opened it and shone it forward. Soon, a wall shining with colorful light stood up in front of everyone, blocking the enemy's steps. The monsters that rushed into the rainbow magic wall were either turned into stone, or lost their limbs or heads. There were even a few goblins who were poisoned and fell to the ground screaming.
But at this moment, bad news came from behind.
"Ms. Fina, there are gnolls coming around from behind!"
Jasmine glanced at the entrance of the cave, and was surprised to find that several fully armed gnolls had circled behind them and blocked the entrance. These werewolves were more agile than goblins and elves, and it seemed that they were well prepared.
But the trouble is yet to come.
"ah--!"
With a scream, the astrologer sister fell to the ground. At the same time, the cloak and longbow on her body disappeared into the air with twinkling starlight.
"Little M, stand up!"
"I, I think I sprained my ankle..."
Without the protection of Sagittarius, the astrology apprentice sister turned back into the clumsy and weak girl she was before. With the help of Fina, she gritted her teeth and finally stood up from the ground. But the situation did not get any better. Their retreat had been blocked, and there was no news from Fang Zheng. More importantly, they had lost their fighting power. Although Hellion could still swing the sword in her hand to attack, her physical strength was not enough to support her to continue fighting for too long. Jasmine had no arrows and could only rely on the short sword and dagger at her waist to deal with the enemy. The astrology apprentice sister completely lost her fighting power and even sprained her foot.
And now, Fina, Stonehammer Dwarf and Katie are also at the end of their strength.
"Katie, go back and seek help from the dwarven reinforcements. Uncle Stone Hammer's reinforcements should be nearby. Before that, we will defend this place."
"But, but..."
Katie seemed a little hesitant when she heard Fina's order. Although her stealth skills could help her hide from the gnolls, it was the first time for this spoiled young lady to face such a desperate situation. Looking at her companions who were panting and almost unable to move, Katie felt that her feet were as heavy as lead. She was very scared and worried. What if she couldn't find the dwarfs' reinforcements? What if she found the dwarfs' reinforcements but it was too late when she came back?
“I, I…”
For the first time, Katie felt so much fear that she even stuttered and couldn't speak.
"Everyone, get closer to me, Katie, release a protective barrier!"
“Okay, okay!”
After hearing Fina's order, Katie's originally nervous mood finally relaxed a little. She hurriedly took out a crystal ball from her pocket and was about to activate it, but she didn't expect that at this moment, Katie's feet suddenly slipped, and then she screamed, and the whole person immediately slid down the hillside.
"ah--!!"
At this moment, the little fire dragon circling around suddenly cried out, then it flapped its wings, swooped down, opened its mouth and bit Katie's collar, thus stopping her from sliding down. But at the same time, Katie's invisibility was also broken, and soon, the monsters around noticed the petite figure struggling on the hillside.
"No, no, don't look at me, don't look at me!!"
Katie became more and more panicked when she noticed those eyes on her. She was afraid of being stared at, not to mention that the eyes of these monsters were full of naked greed and cruelty, and the obvious malice that was about to overflow made her unbearable.
"No, Katie!!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene, but at the moment they had no choice but to watch the jackals quickly and nimbly run down the cliff, opening their bloody mouths and pouncing towards Katie.
“Don’t come over here—!!”
Katie screamed as she looked at the terrifying monsters rushing towards her, and at this moment...
“——!”
Invisible pressure descended in an instant, covering the entire mountaintop.
