Chapter 178: Cut off, Fire in the hole!
The captain was horrified when a strange mental wave came over him. "Oh no! Everyone, be alert to the impending mental attack!"
But even though she had anticipated it and issued a warning immediately, she was still a step too late.
Just as she finished her words, a terrifying and familiar pressure swept over again, like a sledgehammer hitting the people's heads hard.
For a moment, feelings of dizziness, nausea, and fear all surged up, and the people who had just recovered from the oppression could not withstand a second mental attack.
Many fairies' eyes went dark and they fell down, and even many fairies in the patrol team fell down.
Young people have good sleep quality.
"Are you okay? How's everyone?" Hua Ling resisted the urge to surrender and turned to look behind him, only to see that most of the fairies who had formed a human chain had fallen.
Without the supply of people's magical power, the recovery speed of the vine net slowed down significantly, and the soldiers took the opportunity to directly smash the lower right corner.
"Hmm!" Hua Ling groaned. It was obvious that the breaking of the net had caused her some backlash.
What's worse is that Lugal's side was taking advantage of the situation and frantically shooting at the second line of defense - the Soul Rainbow - through the gaps in the vine net.
If this line of defense was breached, everyone would have to face an overwhelming rain of arrows.
"Are you okay?" The patrol captain, who was staggering on the guardrail, heard the groan and immediately wanted to step forward to support Hua Ling.
Hua Ling waved his hand weakly to refuse, and then injected a wave of immortal power into the protective shield, "The opponent's attack is more fierce, I'm afraid I can't hold on for too long."
When she said this, there was unconcealable sadness in her eyes. Lugal could only defeat her at most, but he could not kill her as the mother of life.
But the people of the empire are different. They will really be killed. If they lose, everyone will be doomed.
"Is another life going to disappear in front of me?" Hua Ling couldn't help but feel sad, and his eyes were moist.
At this moment, a broad and warm hand was placed on her shoulder. "Lord Hua Ling, all attacks will be strengthened in the opponent's domain space. Instead of struggling like this, why don't you take the people and escape now?"
"I have just sent my men to check it out. There happens to be a mirror passage in the part of the Huayan Mirror Palace that was pulled in by the domain. We should be able to get out through that passage."
The captain, who was always stern-faced and as serious as a playing card in the eyes of the patrol team, smiled for the first time, but his smile revealed a bit of desolation.
"What do you mean? What about you?" Hua Ling keenly discovered the loophole in her words.
"I will lead the patrol team to cover their retreat." The tall woman blurted out without hesitation, with a firm look on her face, having already put life and death aside.
"That's right, Princess Ling, you should take the others and run away quickly. We will help you stop the army." After hearing the captain's words, the other team members who had not yet fainted or were slowly waking up also echoed him.
"We know that you may have chosen to help out of guilt, but you have done enough. Leave the rest to us."
"You can see that you are running much faster than us. If you lead the people to escape, that guy might not be able to catch up with you at all."
"We are the Royal City patrol team, don't underestimate us!"
The fairies in uniform climbed up tremblingly, talking to each other with smiles on their faces, without any sign that they were about to die.
Defending the royal city is the patrol's responsibility. Even though they know that they may be killed in a few hits, they still have to perform their duties.
This is the mission the king has given them, and this is the trust the king has placed in them...
"Stop joking, how can you possibly cover our retreat?" Hua Ling shouted angrily, feeling unusually irritated.
She didn't want to see these people die, but it seemed that she really couldn't defeat Lugal in the field. After thinking about this, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, the fairies in the patrol team looked at each other and started laughing. "We can't stop those troops, but we can also blow ourselves up."
A patrol member suddenly put his hand around the neck of the member next to him and took out a golden coin from his pocket. "Don't worry, Mother of Life. We are a patrol team. How could we not have been allocated the Origin Immortal Coin?"
"Although this thing can't be used for defense, it can self-destruct. We have dozens of people, and each of us carries 5 or 6 bombs. I guarantee they will be blown up to pieces."
After he finished speaking, he raised one hand and drew a big circle in the air, then he naturally took out an Origin Immortal Coin from the pocket of the team member he hooked and put it into his own pocket.
The patrolling fairies knew that they could not cause any substantial damage to the Great Fairy with their own strength. After all, they were too weak.
But these immortal coins that contain powerful power can, although the price is to sacrifice one's own life.
But in their hearts, if sacrificing dozens of lives can protect the people behind them and defend the dignity of the empire, then it is all worth it.
"But you...you are doomed to die, aren't you?" Hua Ling's tears, which she had been holding back from the beginning, finally fell.
Even the fairy who had lived for thousands of years could not resist the shock brought by the heroic tragedy.
The patrol captain grinned and did not answer. She just walked forward silently, then very boldly pulled away Hua Ling's hand that was pressing on the protective shield, turned her in the direction and pushed her back gently.
On the ground, countless people of the empire are still unconscious, not knowing where their future lies.
"Princess Ling, please, take them home."
The rolling yellow sand obscured the scenery below, but could not block the sunlight from above. Under the dim sunset in the domain space, every fairy on the patrol team tightly grasped the Origin Fairy Coin in their pockets.
This is their determination to protect!
For some reason, the oath they swore before becoming patrol fairies of the Royal City Patrol suddenly popped up in their minds.
In the solemn palace hall, countless fairies stood below and looked at them enviously. Prime Minister Mandola held a plate in her hand, on which were placed silver medals.
After receiving the badge, the spirited fairies of the night clenched their left fists and slammed them hard on their chests, swearing their infinite loyalty to the empire.
"With the bright moon as my witness, I swear in the name of the empire: I dedicate my life and honor to protecting the city. The walls of the royal city are the last line of defense."
"I am the strongest shield and the last shell protecting hope."
"I will abandon all cowardice and fear, strictly abide by discipline, fear no sacrifice, and be ready to fight at any time!"
"Until life dies and souls cease to exist, the dignity of the empire will live forever!"
And now is the time for them to fulfill their oath and sacrifice their lives and honor.
For the dignity of the empire and for the people behind us!
Fire in the hole!
