At this moment, Martin was about to reach that area, then suddenly stopped and ordered Eric to go and investigate the enemy's position and personnel situation, and told him,
If the two sides have already started fighting, hide aside and wait until they are both exhausted before reappearing. After receiving the order, Eric quickly rushed over.
Although Wayne and Derry were not tied up, their movements and communications were strictly restricted, and they could only follow the free nobles obediently. Their hearts were filled with regret, but at this point, nothing they said could help.
The leading noble and the mercenary leader were discussing the mission in a low voice, while the others deliberately lagged behind a few steps to avoid hearing secrets that they shouldn't.
The mercenary leader said worriedly, "Isn't Your Highness planning to marry the candidate for Saint of the Xingyao Holy Nation? Why are you asking us to capture the Princess of the Yuhui Lingyu Forest? If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid another war will ignite."
The Xingyao Holy Nation is not to be trifled with. I heard that every member of their army is a lunatic, extremely obsessed with their nation's teachings and convinced that death is the path to the Kingdom of God. Therefore, they are completely unafraid of death in battle."
The leading noble remained calm and said nonchalantly, "That's fine. We'll use the earldom as cover this time. Several of the nobles traveling with us have the backing of dukes and marquises. With them manipulating us, it won't be easy to track us down."
When the situation becomes chaotic, we'll evacuate with the elves and throw two more elves out to divert everyone's attention."
The nobles following behind were not stupid either. They all knew that the leader had a close relationship with the mercenary group.
Their sole purpose was to capture the elves, bring them back to the powers behind them, and exchange them for a generous sum of gold. All else was irrelevant. Each of these individuals harbored their own agenda.
Soon, everyone found the target's trail. The mercenary group quickly took action and followed the trail, which led them to a strange rocky beach.
Looking around here, there are nothing but rugged rocks and rocks. It is so quiet that there is not even a shadow of an animal.
Instantly, the mercenary leader and the other six golden knights secretly cried out inwardly, "Not good!" Just as they were about to raise their voices to warn, dazzling magical lines suddenly rose up from all around them. These lines intertwined, quickly outlining a massive magic circle that enveloped everyone.
At this moment, the nobles woke up from their dreams and hurriedly took out their magic tools in panic, trying to break the magic circle by force.
At that moment, a group of elves appeared outside the magic circle. A young woman, adorned with ornate attire but devoid of any trace of training, spoke first. Her voice was clear yet tinged with pride. "I knew you would come. I've been waiting here for a long time. You're simply wishful thinking to capture me! The formations in this secret realm require your knightly strength and vitality to unlock."
Otherwise, how could I have let you filthy, evil maggots easily discover me?" Then, she turned to the A-level mage beside her and said, "Evelyn, activate the formation and let them watch as they are slowly sucked dry."
"As you command, Your Highness," Evely replied, and a circular stone tablet appeared in her hand. As Evely continuously injected magic power into the tablet, mysterious magic patterns gradually emerged. Simultaneously, the magic circle slowly began to rotate.
The people in the formation, especially the stronger ones, felt more and more uncomfortable. Obviously, this formation was to first extract the power of the stronger knights, and then the power of the stronger ones would be drawn down.
The Golden Knights in the formation quickly noticed this, finding themselves in constant danger while others remained unharmed. They instantly understood the situation and quickly gathered together, preparing to use brute force to break the formation.
After several full-strength attempts, not only did I fail, but I was overwhelmed by a strong sense of powerlessness.
Seeing this, the mercenary leader shouted loudly: "Don't hold back anymore, otherwise we will all die here!" After that, he took out an S-level magic item.
The others also understood and simultaneously pulled out their powerful magic items. For a moment, the formation was ablaze with light, a variety of colors shining brightly, brilliant yet tinged with deadly danger.
The nobles, Wayne, and Derry were so frightened that they quickly hid to the side, fearing that the aftermath of their full-strength attack would kill them. As the few of them attacked frantically and without reservation, the fluctuations of the magic circle became more and more intense.
Seeing this, Evelyn hurriedly increased her magic output. However, even with this, she still struggled to stabilize the formation. She quickly cast a pleading glance at the other two elves.
The two elves also noticed that the formation's fluctuations persisted, so they quickly used their magic to help Evely stabilize it. With the combined efforts of the three, the formation quickly stabilized. No matter how hard the individuals within the formation exerted their strength, the magic circle remained motionless.
Seeing this, everyone within the formation was filled with despair. Amidst cries of curses and pleas for mercy, several golden knights were the first to be sucked into mummies, their deaths horrific. Soon after, the remaining mercenaries and nobles were no exception, being sucked to death one by one, completely vanishing from the magical formation of this strange rocky beach.
At this moment, only Wayne and Derry remained within the magic circle. Wayne was a mere knight's squire, and Derry was a mere mortal. Wayne's body began to undergo horrific changes. His skin wrinkled at a visible rate, his hair rapidly turning white. The formation was ruthlessly draining him of his life.
At this critical moment, Martin appeared. Eric had sensed the powerful magical fluctuations from the moment the formation was activated, and he immediately informed Martin via the communication crystal.
