Chapter 537 I'll cover you!
The battle between the two sides was very fierce. Although the guards brought by Lachi and his men were at least silver knights, there were more than ten gold knights. However, compared with the orcs, their number was still too small.
Fortunately, due to the ruins, the orcs' numerical advantage cannot be reflected for the time being.
However, as the battle continued, a red light suddenly appeared behind the orcs. Along with the red light, the orcs seemed to be energized and their attacks became more fierce.
As one side gained strength, the other side lost strength. Gradually, even though the guards had the ruins of the city walls as cover, they were beaten back by the orcs, and their defense circle was constantly being compressed.
"Oh no! It's the orc shaman! He gave the orcs a fanatical blessing!"
Lachi and the others knew more about orcs than Gvis, and they recognized what was going on immediately.
The orc shamans are like human magicians, able to cast all kinds of strange spells, and bestowing various strengthening blessings on the orcs is their most proficient spell.
Seeing this situation, Adela, Zenia and others did not dare to retain their own magic power at all. They used magic to attack the orcs one after another, and finally suppressed the orcs' relentless advance temporarily.
However, they are only junior magicians after all, and the magic they use can only attack individuals, so it won’t be long before the orcs will continue to push back the guards’ resistance.
"What should we do now? There are too many orcs. We can't hold out for long!"
Looking at the fierce battle outside, everyone realized that it was not safe to hide here. There were too many orcs and it was only a matter of time before they attacked.
"We can't go back the same way now. We have no choice but to continue to go deeper into the magician's tower. It would be best if we could find people from other families. Only then can we join together and have a chance to break out!"
Although Adela was a rich lady, she did not panic at this time. Instead, she calmly put forward her opinions.
This made Gervis look at her with a higher regard. It was obvious that Adela was not just a pretty face.
"This is the only way! There are quite a few golden knights among these orcs. We can only evacuate now before we are surrounded."
Lachi and his companions thought about it for a moment and immediately agreed to Adela's proposal.
The orcs have blocked their way back, making it impossible for them to break out. Now the only way to survive is to go inside and get rid of the orcs' pursuit.
"But if we flee now, the orcs will still chase us!"
Zenia suddenly interrupted.
After hearing what Zenia said, several people looked a little unnatural. In fact, they had thought of such things a long time ago, but they just didn't want to say it directly. Only someone as heartless as Zenia would ask such a question.
"Someone must stay behind to cover our retreat!"
In the end, it was Laci who pursed his lips and said that he brought the most guards this time, more than eighty people.
Therefore, at this critical moment, the only option left for selecting someone to cover the retreat is basically among his guards.
"Isn't this too unfair to them? How about I cover them? I have a scroll that can release a forbidden spell..."
Hearing this, Adela and Zenia's expressions became complicated. Adela hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a decision, and then spoke slowly.
"No! Adela, we know you must have life-saving equipment, but this is too dangerous!"
"Let the guards stay behind to cover our retreat! I will definitely provide good care for their families when I return!"
Laci immediately objected. Not to mention how they felt about Adela, even given Adela's background, they didn't dare to keep her.
Otherwise, if anything happened to Adela, they would be in big trouble even if they could return alive.
"Yeah, Adela, you can't stay here!"
Deweir, Zenia and others also spoke out to persuade them.
But Adela still felt reluctant, as she was wearing a royal blue necklace as protective gear, as well as a scroll that could release forbidden spells.
She was obviously the most suitable person to cover the rear, but it was clear that everyone would not let her do so.
…
"Start the damn turntable! Give me something good!"
While Adela, Laci and others were arguing fiercely, Gervis quietly opened his system panel and then spent ten energy points to draw a lottery.
He was already drooling over these orcs, but unfortunately he was reluctant to use the kiwi fruit that could increase his strength by 50 times. After all, this was his only life-saving trump card.
So Gervis reluctantly used the 10 energy points he had just earned, which were not even warm in his hands, to draw a lottery to see if he could draw a useful kiwi fruit. If he could, maybe he could take this opportunity to make a fortune.
"If you want to gain, you must know how to give! Boss, please don't lie to me!"
"This is such a piss-off system. You need to be as awesome as you were last night!"
Watching the pointer slowly stop moving, Gervis kept praying in his heart that the crappy system could be more powerful.
The next moment, the pointer finally stopped on the black kiwi icon, which made Gervis breathe a sigh of relief. Instead of being disappointed, he felt a little expectant.
What he needed now was a kiwi fruit that could instantly enhance his strength, so drawing the black kiwi fruit just met his taste. He just had to see what functions this black kiwi fruit had next.
"Black kiwi fruit: This is an energy fruit that contains a huge amount of energy. After taking it, you can freely use up the fighting spirit (magic power) in your body without worrying about consumption! The time limit is one hour! It will take effect immediately after taking it!"
"Damn it, how come there is another energy fruit with infinite fighting spirit?"
Gervis remembered that this was the third time he had drawn a black kiwi fruit with this function.
Although the Infinite Fighting Qi Kiwi Fruit had played a big role for him the previous two times, in comparison, Gervis hoped to get the kiwi fruit that could instantly enhance his strength.
"There's no other way but to make do with it!"
Although it did not meet psychological expectations, it was not the worst result. Gervis silently closed the system panel.
…
"Why don't you let me give it a try? Safety shouldn't be a problem. You just wait for me at a distance!"
Adela still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. If she was powerless, that would be fine. She wouldn't be so stupid as to die herself to help others.
But now that she clearly has the ability to cover the retreat, if she still retreats, it will not suit her bottom line.
"Let me do it!"
Just as Laci and others were about to continue to speak up to reject Adela, a lazy voice suddenly came from the side. It was Gervis who had just closed the system panel.
"Harry, what did you say?"
Everyone was a little confused and thought they had heard it wrong!
"I said I'll cover you, you guys hurry up and evacuate! If we delay any longer the orcs will surround us!"
Gervis answered seriously.
"Harry, don't talk nonsense. Even if I ask you to cover us, you don't have the ability to do so!"
In Laci's heart, the wild wizard Gervis is much more valuable than the guards. He is also recognized by the Holy Tree of the Holy City of Heka, so how could Laci let him cover the retreat?
And Gervis did not have the strength to cover the retreat. If he could not hold off the orcs for more than ten minutes, it would make no difference whether he covered the retreat or not.
"Miss Adela has the scroll, right? Give it to me! I will buy you at least ten minutes. If that's not possible, I will activate the scroll directly!"
Gervis had already thought of his speech and told it to everyone immediately.
Thanks to “趠," for the reward!
This word is really amazing. I couldn't find it even when I wrote it by hand! Finally I found it on Baidu!
