There is a saying that goes, only peers understand each other best.
Before Kayla and the others could prepare for the response, the seemingly corrupted warlock used a spell to break the magic barrier.
A tongue-twisting spell sounded, his voice was hoarse as if he had not drunk anything for several days, or as if he was a rotten corpse that had crawled out of a coffin.
A red light shot out from its staff and quickly merged into the magic circle more than ten meters away.
With a crisp sound, the barrier that Kayla and Kalkstein had been trying hard to maintain shattered. The two were also injured by the backlash of magic power and temporarily lost the ability to cast spells.
Seeing this, Lei Suo's expression was as silent as water, and there was no negative emotion in his eyes.
Facing the dozens of fully armed fallen warriors, this man as strong as a giant bear did not retreat at all. He picked up the Viper School steel sword in his hand, stood in front of the two sorceresses, and shouted loudly:
“Prepare for battle!”
Then, without fear, together with the other two demon hunters and the few surviving mercenaries who were already a little frightened, they faced the Fallen warriors and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with them.
But as mentioned before, this group of fearless Fallen warriors possess physical fitness superior to that of ordinary humans. If they were to fight head-on, even Wayne would not be able to withstand the siege of dozens of people.
After all, he has not yet completed the transformation from an ordinary person to an extraordinary creature. He can only be regarded as a slightly special human being. He will die if he is injured and he will feel pain if he is beaten. The ending of an elephant being killed by ants is really going to happen in reality.
Sure enough, the gap in strength cannot be bridged by courage.
Even though Letho was already considered a very powerful demon hunter, he was still unable to cope with the Fallen warriors' strategy of exchanging lives for injuries, and he soon fell into a disadvantage, with two bloody scars appearing on his face and forehead.
The mercenaries, who were much weaker than them, were so weak that one of them was stabbed in the throat by a sword the moment he came into contact with the enemy. He failed to react in time and fell down holding his neck, causing several of his companions around him to roar in despair like trapped animals.
At this time, the number of Fallen warriors surrounding Kayla and others exceeded fifty, while there were only ten people including Reso who had melee combat capabilities. The difference of more than five times in numbers not only made their battle dangerous, but also made it impossible for them to resist the enemy rushing from the side towards the warlocks protected behind them even if they tried their best.
Once they get close to the warlock who has no melee ability, Keira and the others will basically be captured or killed.
The originally relatively stable battle situation became a life-and-death moment the moment the enemy warlock appeared.
Wayne, who had been keeping an eye on the battlefield and was nearly sixty or seventy meters away from them, felt a sense of struggle when he noticed this situation.
Not to mention the lives of those mercenaries and Kalkstein, but Margarita and Keira were women with whom he had had relationships, and Reso and others were his fellow demon hunters who he brought to this mission.
In any case, saving their lives is still the top priority.
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about keeping his secret and directly activated the flashing ability of the ancient blood. He instantly flew over a distance of dozens of meters and appeared next to Lei Suo and others.
The soul war horse Udis that he abandoned on the spot automatically turned into white dust after being more than ten meters away from its master, and returned to the magic bell on Wayne's waist.
After arriving here, due to the urgent situation of the battle, Wayne did not bother to greet other people. The magic power in his body frantically poured into the Sword of Promise of Victory. Without waiting for the magic power to fill the sword, he held this powerful sacred sword in his hand and made a powerful horizontal slash at the enemy in front of him.
Under the infusion of magic power, the eight or nine meter long lightsaber, whistling with magic power, instantly drew a semicircle in front of him.
A dozen or so fallen warriors who were besieging Reso and others with fanatical faces were directly divided into two and cut in half.
In addition to the constant spurting of blood and internal organs from their wounds, there was also a strong smell of burnt meat.
The battlefield was quiet for a moment, but Wayne had no intention of wasting time. There were more than a dozen fallen warriors rushing towards Kayla and others. Even if he was very powerful, it was impossible to stop them all.
However, between the sparks of the battery, he had already thought of a countermeasure. After instantly appearing next to Kayla and the other two, Wayne already had several magic scrolls from the Elder Scrolls in his hands.
As he input his magic power, five skeleton mages and five skeleton archers immediately appeared beside Kayla and others.
It’s not that Wayne doesn’t want to summon skeleton warriors, but his warrior scrolls have been used up in Middle-earth and there are no more in stock in the space.
However, although these skeletons are not strong and are not warriors, they do not have the fatal flaws of flesh and blood. Their bodies are made of hard bones, and even if a few bones are cut off, it will not affect their combat effectiveness.
Under Wayne's control, there is no problem in temporarily acting as a meat shield.
At this time, Margarita, the only one who still had the ability to cast spells, had completed the magic she had prepared. Under her control, more than a dozen lightning balls flashing with magical flames appeared above her head. These lightning balls seemed to have the ability of automatic aiming. After condensing and taking shape above the headmistress's head, they immediately flew towards the fallen warriors who were besieging Reso and others.
The powerful electric current ignored the armor on their bodies and poured directly into their bodies. The powerful electrical energy caused smoke to come out of their mouths and noses, and their bodies trembled. They soon lost their ability to fight.
With the two powerful reinforcements of Wayne and Margarita, nearly half of the fallen warriors were eliminated instantly, and new meat shields were provided. The pressure on Reso and others was also reduced a lot, at least they no longer had to face so many dangers.
However, after summoning the skeleton archers and skeleton mages, Wayne did not join the battle with the fallen warriors. Instead, he immediately used his ability to flash and appeared a few meters behind the fallen warlock.
However, Wayne did not use the Alder Sign to blow these frozen people into pieces.
No matter what, warlocks are high-end talents. Even if he has surrendered to the enemy and has been corrupted and fallen, killing him directly would be the most wasteful decision.
If we keep his body, maybe we can use necromancy to get some information about the enemy from him later.
After eliminating the biggest destabilizing factor on the field, the situation was quickly reversed.
Keira and Kalkstein also joined the battle, enduring the pain of the backlash of magic in their bodies.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, after more than ten minutes of fighting, most of the Fallen warriors who had ambushed them were killed in this battle.
However, the fallen arrows that surrounded Wayne at the beginning, as well as the commander who did not show up in this battle, disappeared without a trace at some point.
This abnormal phenomenon also cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.
………………
After the battle, everyone felt heavy-hearted, even Wayne.
Others may not know, but after fighting with these fallen ones, Wayne has realized the horror of the dark world.
Although he didn't pay much attention to the plot of the game when he played it before, there was one thing he was clear about.
In that desperate world, the power of the hell demons is extremely strong. Although they cannot come to the human world through corpses, their evil power can easily bewitch the mortals in the human world.
Not only that, even the protagonists of each generation of games, those heroes controlled by the players who can defeat the world in seconds, will be corrupted by the power of hell after killing the clones of the Hell Demon God, and will fall from being a brave hero to being a demon king again.
What's even more terrifying is that these monsters that traveled through time are most likely just projections of power. Even if they are killed countless times in other worlds, no real damage can be caused to their original bodies in hell.
As long as the cracks connecting to the dark world still exist, they will project over endlessly and erode the power of the hell world into every aspect of this place.
Just as Wayne was thinking about these load-bearing issues, Margarita walked over with a serious expression.
This beautiful woman who always had a smile on her face said in a rare serious tone:
"Wayne, we tortured Kalert through necromancy."
"We got a sensational piece of news from him."
Wayne was shocked and felt that he had underestimated the difficulty of this mission.
"What news?"
Margarita frowned, crossed her arms, and said with some doubt in her tone:
"He told me that one of the members of the Supreme Council was also corrupted by the power of another world, and he betrayed us."
"And this bounty competition is a huge conspiracy planned by that congressman."
"The purpose is to send the elite forces from our world here, and then ambush them, so as to severely damage the power of the spellcasters in our world."
"Let the invasion plan of the other world proceed more smoothly."
"Although it is possible that this is a lie, intended to alienate the trust of our Warlock Brotherhood."
"But if this news is true, it's horrible."
"Throughout the history of our world, except for the time when the elves came, there has never been such a serious invasion by an alien race."
"Moreover, they are a race with such a strong evil aura. They are more terrifying than the monsters at the intersection of the celestial bodies."
"We must bring this news back to the Warlock Brotherhood."
