Chapter 310 Rescue at a critical moment, Alpha chooses to stay
Following Athena's command, two hundred Knights of Light roared deafeningly, their voices resounding through the sky like thunder. This mission received the full support of Knight Commander Arthur, who not only personally participated in the action planning, but also provided an additional one hundred elite knights and one hundred powerful priests as support. This means that in this fierce battle that is about to begin, there will be a full four hundred brave and fearless Knights of Light fighting together.
The battle started instantly, and the air was filled with a tense and fierce atmosphere. However, unexpectedly, the enemy seemed to be well prepared for the arrival of the Knight of Light, and did not show any surprise or panic.
On the contrary, they greeted this sudden attack with an almost indifferent attitude. Faced with such a situation, the Knights of Light did not flinch, but quickly adjusted their formation, ready to face the upcoming brutal slaughter. The confrontation between the two sides was about to break out, and the battlefield was a chaotic scene of swords and sabers.
The light priests in the back began to chant, and a holy force was stimulated. The holy light of light filled the entire space, causing at least 30% loss of power to the dark creatures, while providing holy light recovery for the light knights. In this long-lasting battle, the gap between the two sides at least doubled.
At this critical moment, Knight Athena stepped forward, her armor gleaming brightly under the magic of light, and the sword in her hand exuding unparalleled majesty. Athena shouted loudly: "Brothers, for light and justice, charge!" With this order, all the Knights of Light seemed to be injected with infinite power, waving their weapons and launching a fierce attack on the enemy.
At the same time, the dark creatures were not to be outdone, they roared and rushed towards the Knights of Light, trying to tear through the opponent's defenses with their sharp claws. For a moment, the battlefield was covered with flying dust, shouts of killing, and collisions, forming a thrilling scene.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate and the intensity of the battle had almost reached its peak, a mysterious old man quietly appeared at the edge of the battlefield. He was wearing a dark black robe embroidered with complex runes and patterns, looking mysterious and majestic. In his hand was a beautifully carved staff inlaid with various precious gems, flashing a dark light. The old man's eyes flashed with wisdom and cunning, as if he could see through everything.
The old man who suddenly appeared was none other than the legendary Dark Master Merlin, a magician proficient in dark magic and a top wanted man on the Vatican's wanted list. His appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield, and of course, they were interested in the wanted bounty reward.
Merlin slowly raised the staff in his hand, and a powerful dark energy surged out of the staff, quickly covering the battlefield. This dark energy not only blocked the light magic cast by the priests of the Church, but also greatly increased the strength of the dark creatures around them, making them more ferocious and difficult to deal with.
"You stay here to protect the priests, I'll go kill the Dark Mage." Alpha realized that he couldn't let the Silver Mage freely exert his powerful magic, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He decided to personally resolve this threat. The reason why Alpha was so confident was that he knew that although the other party was a mage, his body was relatively fragile and a bullet could end the battle.
"I'll go with you, Master Alpha." Gilliana and Graia volunteered to go with Alpha. They were worried that Alpha would be in danger if he went alone, and they hoped to provide help and support.
However, Alpha did not agree to their request. "You stay. I will not charge directly into the enemy camp. I will use long-range attacks to solve the problem."
After that, Alpha quietly crept towards Merlin's location alone. His movements were light and quick, and he was careful with every step to avoid being discovered by the enemy. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the upcoming decisive battle.
Alpha slowly approached the Dark Master, and when he was about a hundred meters away from the enemy, he stopped. He knew that his shooting skills were not good, so he decided to adopt a more stable strategy - firing three bullets at once to increase the chance of hitting.
In the tense atmosphere, only three huge explosions were heard. Regardless of whether the target was hit or not, Alpha quickly moved his position, quickly loaded the bullet and hid to prepare to aim again.
The first of the three bullets hit Merlin's shoulder accurately, causing him to gasp in pain; the second one flew past Merlin's head, causing a gust of wind; and the third one should have gone straight to Merlin's heart, but was unexpectedly blocked by a werewolf who suddenly jumped up.
In fact, it was not the werewolf who jumped up to block the bullet, but the wolf king next to him threw a werewolf out and used its body to intercept the fatal bullet.
What was even more shocking was that this wolf king was actually Alpha's old rival. At this time, the opponent's right side of the body had recovered, but the two arms were extremely asymmetrical: the newly grown arm was muscular and more than twice as thick as the other one, forming a sharp contrast with the whole body.
The wolf king's eyes swept sharply in the direction where Alpha had disappeared before, but there was no one there, leaving only silence. Obviously, the cunning Alpha had taken the opportunity to escape, leaving behind a pile of dust and a tense atmosphere.
"Humph, I didn't expect that you, a dog, are still alive." Athena's voice was filled with contempt and disdain, and her sharp eyes were like a hawk, locking onto the wolf king in front of her. She was determined to defeat this former opponent, and this time, she vowed to completely end this endless duel.
"It's you annoying flies again!" The wolf king roared angrily, his voice filled with endless anger and unwillingness. His body began to radiate an unprecedented powerful aura, as if he was a wild beast about to explode, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air. "This time, I will make all of you stay here, and no one will think of escaping again!"
As the Wolf King finished speaking, a fierce battle instantly began on this land.
The werewolves responded to the wolf king's call, their figures looked particularly ferocious in the darkness, and each attack was full of deadly power. Athena was not to be outdone, and the two sides fought back and forth, with swords and shadows interweaving into a thrilling scene, and the sparks of battle illuminated the entire space.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alpha quickly set up his weapon again. He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and made his heartbeat blend in with the surrounding environment. Alpha carefully aimed at the target's body, not because he didn't want to shoot the bullet at the opponent's head, but because he knew that his strength was not enough to achieve an accurate headshot. In order to ensure the maximum shooting effect, he chose a more secure way - attacking the enemy's chest.
Bang! The first clear gunshot pierced the night sky, and the bullet hit the archmage's chest accurately like a flash of lightning. After being hit, the archmage staggered visibly, but did not fall down immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Alpha quickly pulled the trigger and the second bullet whizzed out, but this time it deviated from the trajectory and unfortunately missed.
Just as Alpha was about to make a third attempt, the chaotic crowd suddenly surged up, blocking his sight and shooting path, causing the third precious bullet to fail to hit the target. This scene made Alpha sigh: history always repeats itself in a surprising way.
"There!" With a roar, Alpha was finally found by the enemy. Faced with the sudden crisis, he did not choose to retreat or escape, but strengthened his determination.
"Let's fight head-on, who's afraid of who!" Although he knew he might not be as strong an opponent as the wolf king, Alpha believed he was fully capable of dealing with these minions. An indomitable spirit burned in his heart, urging him to continue fighting.
Alpha was in danger, surrounded by fighting werewolves, who actually surrounded him. This made Alpha realize the crisis, and he didn't care about the dark wizard anymore. Alpha just wanted to retreat and get out of here. Alpha was never a person who would sacrifice his life, unless there was really no way out.
"Kill him for me." The Dark Wizard looked at the human who had injured him and vented all his firepower towards Alpha. This was not a rage that Alpha could bear.
"Hymn to Light." Alpha could only use all his abilities to resist the enemy's attack. The light magic made the surrounding enemies dare not move forward, but under the roar of the dark wizard, they continued to move forward under the burning light.
However, the Dark Wizard was attracted by Alpha, causing the power of the dark barrier to continue to weaken, while the power of the human knights increased. As a result, the dark creatures were suppressed.
The angry dark wizard ignored his magic and only thought about Alpha's death, which was unbearable for Alpha. Alpha used all his abilities to repel the enemy's attacks again and again, but he was surrounded by countless werewolves. Alpha had countless wounds on his body and blood was sprayed all over the ground.
"Lord Alpha, we are here." Just when Alpha was about to give up, Gilliana, Strong and others finally arrived at the battlefield. Even Graia, an ordinary soldier who was only responsible for logistics work, picked up her weapon and bravely joined the battle. Although she was not a professional soldier, she showed extraordinary courage and determination at this moment, doing her best to protect everyone around her.
"Lord Alpha, please follow us!" Gilliana quickly approached Alpha and blocked wave after wave of enemy attacks for him. Her eyes were full of determination and unyielding, as if no difficulties could stop her from moving forward.
Seeing the situation gradually becoming unfavorable, Alpha was extremely anxious. He noticed that the powerful wizard was standing about a few dozen meters away from them, directing the battle - this was a great opportunity! If they could successfully approach and defeat this key figure, perhaps they could change the entire battle situation. So, Alpha said to Strong beside him: "Strong, we need to change clothes to distract the enemy. You take my place to attract their firepower, and I will take the opportunity to kill the wizard."
After hearing this proposal, Strong agreed without any hesitation: "Okay, leave it to me." Since the two men were of similar height and build, and Alpha was already covered in scars and blood, it would be difficult for the enemy to detect if they exchanged identities.
To ensure the plan went smoothly, Alpha continued to instruct: "Everyone protect Alpha and retreat slowly, and try not to attract the other side's attention. I will find a secluded place to hide and wait for the right time to act."
Alpha knew that in such a dense and chaotic battlefield, it was almost impossible to rush directly to the dark wizard. Therefore, the only feasible way was to let the opponent actively approach the trap area set by himself. In this way, not only can the risk of exposure be reduced, but also the success rate can be greatly increased.
Watching Gilliana and the others retreating and the werewolves approaching step by step, Alpha lurked in the dark corner, his eyes fixed on the approaching Dark Mage. The air was filled with tension, as if time had frozen at this moment. The Dark Mage slowly raised the skull staff in his hand, with a strange light flashing at the tip, as if he was brewing some powerful magic.
Alpha's heart was in his throat. He knew that if the other party succeeded in performing this giant magic, the consequences would be disastrous. However, there was still a distance of more than ten meters between them, which was almost an insurmountable distance for Alpha. What was worse was that the other party could escape at any time, and he was helpless.
At this moment, countless black mists began to emerge from the front of the Dark Mage's magic wand. These mists quickly spread and moved quickly towards Gilliana. Along the way, these black mists actually entangled the werewolves, making the already violent werewolves even more crazy. Their eyes flashed red, their roars were deafening, and they rushed forward as if they had lost their minds.
Faced with such a sudden change, Gilliana and the others obviously felt unprecedented pressure. They tried to stabilize their position while looking for opportunities to fight back. But in the face of such a powerful force, all efforts seemed so insignificant. Alpha knew that if they could not come up with a response plan as soon as possible, the entire team would be in a desperate situation.
At this critical moment, Alpha couldn't help but take out his magic gun and began to aim...
