Chapter 304: Reinforcements Arrive, Light of Hope
"Human, you are dead this time." These words were like a gust of cold wind, penetrating the surrounding hustle and bustle and hitting the target's heart. The person who said this stood not far away, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his tone was full of unquestionable firmness. His figure looked particularly tall in the sunset, as if he was a symbol of justice and strength.
Alpha looked into the distance, but had no time to react. His body was knocked flying in an instant, as if he was hit by a speeding train. All his internal organs were shattered in an instant, and the pores all over his body were like hourglasses, and blood spurted out.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to stand still, and all eyes were focused on these two people. A new contest might be brewing, and the result of this contest would determine many things: honor, dignity, and even life and death.
But in the ruins, Alpha did not stand up for a long time. This time, Alpha seemed to be really defeated. It was the wolf king who knocked Alpha away. Originally, the wolf king was ready to withstand the ultimate attack of humans, but faced with the powerful attack, the wolf king was scared and dodged instantly.
Although the wolf king moved quickly, his heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He knew that his choice might bring unpredictable consequences, but his survival instinct made him unable to resist the fear at that moment. A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.
The knights around held their breath and stared, the air was filled with tension and anxiety. They knew that the battle was far from over, and every second that followed could change the situation. Alpha lay on the ground, motionless, as if he had lost his breath. However, at this seemingly hopeless moment, his fingers moved slightly, as if there was still a glimmer of life.
The wolf king stood in the distance, watching this scene with complicated eyes. He knew that even if he had won temporarily, the real test had just begun. He had to make more difficult choices to find his place in this world full of variables.
"Why don't you die, bastard?" The wolf king watched Alpha stand up again, and his heart was filled with fear. The attack just now was the strongest attack he had tried, but the human in front of him still did not fall down.
"You country dog, your strength is just so-so." After Alpha said this, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, staining the collar of his shirt red.
Alpha's current situation is very bad. At this moment, the only remaining Light Praise in his body is fully supporting this damaged body with the help of Dou Qi. In addition, he has been baptized by dragon blood before, so he can barely hold on until now. In addition, the Dou Qi activated by the third commandment of thunder power continuously replenishes his energy, but this state is about to reach its limit. Finally, it is that little bit of insignificant true Qi that supports Alpha's body.
However, Alpha knew that the power of thunder only had the last three minutes left, and his physical abilities were less than half of his strongest. Now it was extremely difficult to keep up with the speed of the wolf king.
Despite this, Alpha did not take the initiative to attack because of time pressure, but stood quietly in front of the wolf king, his eyes firm and sharp. The wolf king did not move, and Alpha did not move either, and the two sides fell into a delicate confrontation.
In this brief moment of peace, Alpha concentrated on repairing his damaged body. Every breath was accompanied by severe pain, but he clenched his teeth and did not let any pain show.
Alpha knew that if he let down his guard, death would be waiting for him. Alpha didn't want to die, as he still had too many unfinished business and missions to accomplish. In order to survive, he had to seize every minute and every second to restore his strength and fighting spirit.
If surrender means losing half, then even Alpha is willing to choose this path. However, the conflict between the two sides has reached an irreconcilable point. Even if the wolf king has made a promise, Alpha still dare not easily believe the other party's promise. There is a tense and oppressive atmosphere in the air, as if even time has slowed down at this moment.
"You are clearly already exhausted, why aren't you dead yet?" Feeling the weak but gradually recovering vitality in Alpha's body, the wolf king finally lost his patience and took the initiative to attack at the last minute. His voice was full of anger and unwillingness, as if he had a strong desire for the outcome of this battle.
Facing the sudden attack, Alpha did not show any panic. On the contrary, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes flashed with a firm and resolute light. He knew that this last minute would determine his fate - either life or death.
Although he knew deep down that he was in an extremely unfavorable position, almost a life-or-death situation, Alpha was determined to go all out in this last fight. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would seize it and win himself a chance to reverse the situation.
Under the shadow of death, Alpha's speed exploded again, as if time slowed down at this moment. The blood on his body was left in the same place, and several phantoms appeared behind him, floating like ghosts.
The wolf king roared and rushed towards Alpha with all his might. Anger and hatred flashed in its eyes, and its sharp claws gleamed coldly in the sun.
Life and death were just a matter of a thought. The two bodies collided in an instant. Alpha's body was pierced by the wolf king's claws. Blood gushed out, dyeing the surrounding air red. As long as he moved slightly, Alpha would be chopped into pieces.
However, at this critical moment, Alpha tried his best to cut off the wolf king's arm. The blade cut through the air, making a sharp hissing sound. However, due to excessive force, Alpha's sword also broke, and the tip of the sword slid into the sky, which seemed to indicate that Alpha was like a kite with a broken string and could not control himself.
"Ah!" The wolf king screamed and roared, but it could not change the fact that its arm was cut off. It fell to the ground in pain and struggled to stand up, but it had lost the ability to fight.
"You're nothing but a dog." Alpha sneered as he pulled out the claws stuck in his chest and threw them aside. His voice was full of contempt and disdain, as if he was mocking the incompetence of the wolf king.
Facing Alpha's provocative and contemptuous ridicule, the wolf king's anger was like a ignited gunpowder barrel, exploding instantly. His eyes flashed with scarlet light, and his body began to undergo a series of incredible changes, his muscles swelled, his bones creaked, as if he was about to enter an unprecedented state of violence. However, at this critical moment, an unexpected change occurred.
The rocks above suddenly exploded without any warning. With a deafening roar, several figures who were fighting fiercely fell from the sky and smashed to the ground like meteorites, stirring up a cloud of dust.
This sudden change instantly extinguished the wolf king's anger, and was replaced by an inexplicable fear and uneasiness. He instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and turned around and ran away in front of everyone without even a moment of hesitation, as if there was something behind him that he feared more than death.
Alpha still maintained his fighting posture, his eyes like torches, staring fiercely at the werewolves who had not yet reacted. The remaining werewolves saw that the wolf king had already fled, and the legendary human killer was still standing there. How could they have the courage to continue fighting? Almost at the same time, they immediately scattered and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
As the werewolves left, the noise around them gradually died down. Alpha finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground. His body seemed to be drained of energy and he had no strength left. Gilliana and the others rushed forward, and Barnes hurriedly cast light magic to try to heal Alpha's injuries.
However, the battle around them did not stop. Athena and Strong were still fighting, and the explosion above was the result of a fierce battle between Arthur and the Dark Knight Captain Lucifaria. As for the dark wizard Malcolm, he was nowhere to be found at this moment.
"I'm afraid I won't survive. The rest depends on you." Alpha's voice was weak and hoarse. He could feel that his body had been completely drained and had no energy at all. External energy supplements could not meet his recovery speed at all. He knew that he didn't have much time left.
"Bring Alpha's broken sword." Barnes knew that Alpha could only rely on his will and the power of the broken sword to hold on. Even if the broken sword didn't have enough energy, they had to go all out. He turned to Gilliana and said.
Upon hearing this, Gilliana immediately put Alpha's broken sword into his hands. However, the broken sword did not seem to cause any reaction to Alpha. He lay there quietly, as if he had lost his breath of life. At this moment, everyone felt an unprecedented despair and helplessness.
"We are knights, fighting for victory and honor." Gilliana stared at the approaching enemies. Although the enemies were numerous and eager to see her, she was not afraid. She held her sword tightly, her heart full of determination to win. At this moment, all the knights present stepped onto the battlefield resolutely with the belief that they would die.
However, they only had less than ten people, and faced dozens of powerful enemies. They were clearly at a disadvantage in terms of both individual strength and overall strength. But Alpha's spirit of never giving up infected everyone, making them fearless in the face of such a huge gap, and only sticking to the honor of knights.
Just as the battle was about to break out, an exciting horn sounded in the distance - this was the signal for the arrival of reinforcements! As the sound got closer, countless knights in silver armor and holding sharp blades rushed in from all directions, bringing a glimmer of hope to the originally desperate situation. Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes flickered with hope.
"Retreat!" Seeing this, the Dark Knights leader Luciferia realized that staying here would only put the entire team in a desperate situation. He knew that with the reinforcements of the Vatican Knights, it was impossible to capture the two senior clergy in one fell swoop. If he did not retreat, even his own Dark Knights would not be able to escape unscathed. As for Luciferia, he could leave if he wanted to. Even the powerful Knight Commander Arthur could not stop him from escaping.
The worst thing is that the cowardly but extremely important character, the dark wizard Malcolm, has long been missing. Once he is discovered missing and Cardinal Barnes personally hunts him down, it will be a fatal blow to Luciferia. Therefore, no matter what the considerations are, he must leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
"Yeah, we won! We won, Lord Alpha!" Gilliana shouted excitedly, her voice was particularly clear in the cheering crowd. However, when she looked around, she found that the familiar figure was gone. Lord Alpha, he left this world forever and could never come back to her side.
"Victory? Really victory?" Just as everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of celebration, an incredible voice suddenly sounded. It was Alpha. He was still alive, surviving in this almost impossible situation. Gilliana looked at the scene in front of her in shock, her heart full of doubts and confusion.
"Lord Alpha, I'm glad you're okay." Although she knew that Alpha had pretended to be dead before, Gilliana did not reveal the secret. For her, as long as Alpha could stand here safely, everything else became unimportant. No matter what happened, as long as Alpha was still alive, it was the greatest luck.
……
"Captain Arthur, I have terminated the reversal formation, but it cannot last long. It can be delayed for three days at most, otherwise the reversal of the formation will cause irreversible consequences." After successfully driving away the enemies in the castle, Barnes immediately began to deal with other urgent matters.
If the reversal array continues to be activated, the dark channel will be opened, and a steady stream of dark creatures will pour into the city of Alman, and humans will face a catastrophe. Barnes knew this very well, so he took action at the first opportunity.
"Okay, three days is enough." Captain Arthur responded calmly.
Although the current situation is very bad - the city of Alman has been occupied by the enemy, but the enemies in the city are far from being cleared out; there are still 100,000 werewolves and vampires outside, which are huge threats. However, at this critical moment, Arthur still remains calm and firm.
As for destroying the formation, that would be the last resort. Once such a measure is taken, it means that their mission has failed. After all, their mission is to capture and control the city of Alman, not simply destroy it.
Although destroying this channel can temporarily stop the attack of the dark race, they will also spend a lot of time and energy looking for new breakthroughs and cannot completely cut off the connection.
The goal of the Holy See is to completely eradicate the forces of darkness. Therefore, this passage is not only the gateway to the dark world, but also the key to their realization of this goal. It must not be easily destroyed.
"Lord Arthur, the enemy has launched a massive attack. The knights on the city wall can no longer hold on. They need support."
