Chapter 62 Crisis

At some point, dozens of priests in white appeared outside the city of Roselowe. The leading priest was the one who competed for the 'Golden Armor of Thorns' at the auction. They stood in a row with their hands clasped together, muttering something.

"God said, the light will never set!"

The healing holy light continued to envelop the enemies. Many adventurers who were originally in danger became full of energy after being illuminated by the holy light. Even their physical and mental fatigue were eliminated in an instant.

The healing magic of the Holy See not only heals physical wounds but also soothes the adventurers' mental trauma.

"It's the priests of the Holy See!"

"Haha, we have nothing to worry about anymore, let's kill, brothers!"

The appearance of the priests of the Holy See is undoubtedly a shot in the arm. With their support in the rear, even if they are injured, they can recover quickly, and the magicians can save a lot of magic power used for treatment. The reputation of the Holy See is still very reliable.

Several battle lines that were on the verge of collapse were re-established due to the arrival of the priests. Such a long time had passed and they had not let any monsters pass.

However, the number of priests and their magical power were limited, and it was impossible for them to take care of everyone. Although they had cast as much healing magic as possible, some casualties were still inevitable. Even after nearly an hour, the priests had no magical power left, because there were so many people who needed magical treatment that they had almost no time to rest.

The priests looked at each other and saw the deep helplessness in their companions' eyes. Even if they tried their best, it would only be a drop in the bucket for the entire battle.

"Let's go." The leading priest didn't say much. Instead, he drew the cross sword at his waist and rushed to the battlefield.

Seeing this, the other priests also took out their crosses and cross swords and rushed to the more critical places.

The priests of the Holy See have all undergone extremely rigorous special training. Each priest is not only able to use magic but is also a seasoned warrior. Their melee combat abilities are even better than those of magicians.

……

"Hurry up! What are you doing? The barrel hasn't cooled down yet!"

The captain of the guard on the city wall urged his soldiers. The city defense magic cannon had been constantly overused and the internal barrel had become as hot as a soldering iron. If the barrel was not cooled down, the next shell might explode directly. Therefore, the captain of the guard was hesitant to give the order to continue using the city defense magic cannon.

Even though he is extremely anxious now.

"Deputy Guard, listen to my orders!"

"Yes!"

"I order you to use the city defense cannon at your own discretion."

"Captain of the guard! You?" The deputy captain of the guard was horrified because the captain of the guard looked like he was planning to go deep into the battlefield.

"We won't be able to hold out for half a day at this rate. At least a little more strength will help at this time." The captain of the guards saw things clearly. The adventurers and soldiers seemed to have regained their fighting spirit with the support of the priests of the Holy See, but in fact they were already in a state of decline. A long battle was still something that adventurers above the silver level could still hold out, but many of those adventurers at the black iron and bronze levels were already at the end of their strength. If the monster army quickened its pace even a little bit, they would collapse across the board.

If there is no large amount of troop replenishment at this time, it will take less than half an hour for the monster army to tear through the defense line of the adventurers and soldiers.

"Team One and the deputy guard captain will stay here to lead the defense of the city. Team Two and Team Three, follow me!"

"Yes!"

The captain of the guard acted swiftly and decisively, leading dozens of his soldiers to rush towards the weakest point on the battlefield.

.......
"What did you say?" Dak slammed the table and angrily glared at the three adventurers he hired. "Sorry, Lord Dak, this is the gold coin you used to hire us. Now I'm returning it to you."

The three adventurers took out a cloth bag full of gold coins and placed it on the table.

"Is this how you treat your clients? I'm going to complain to the Adventurer's Guild about you!" Dak was very angry. The adventurer he hired was actually going to abandon him in this time of crisis.

"Lord Dark, there are places where we are more needed now." After hesitating for a long time, the three adventurers finally made their choice.

"There are so many monsters outside. What's the point of you three going out? It won't change the overall situation at all! The best choice is to stay in the city and wait for an opportunity to break out!" Dak said sternly.

"Sorry, Lord Dark." The three adventurers were obviously unmoved and left Dark's room without looking back.

After the three men left, there was a crackling sound of things breaking in Dark's room, followed by Dark's angry shouting.

.......
"Wooden vine binding!"

Xia slapped the ground with her little hand, and four or five vines snaked out and entangled the feet of several goblins.

"Explosive Missile!"

Three or four red magic fireballs floated beside Xia. With a gesture of her hand, the magic fireballs shot out and blew the goblins bound by vines into pieces.

Although he dealt with a few more goblins, Xia's little face had turned pale, and his snow-white neck was covered with sweat.

She had very little magic left.

Most magicians are not as good as ordinary warriors when it comes to continuous fighting. Although magic is powerful, its consumption is also very alarming. Few magicians can fight for a long time without stopping. Once a magician's magic power is exhausted, it will be very bad. They are relatively weak and it is difficult for them to compete with monsters. Compared with warriors, few magicians will spend effort on close combat.

In this battle to defend the city, every magician received magic recovery potions from the Starlight Trading Company, so they were able to hold on until now. However, no matter how many magic potions there are, they will eventually run out, and many magicians are almost out of magic.

Barely avoiding the bite of the Wind Wolf, a trace of despair flashed across Xia's eyes. After using the magic 'Low-level Gravity Barrier' to slow down the speed of the Wind Wolf, Xia could only try to deal with it for a while. As long as the magic expired, she would become a meal for the Wind Wolf.

The companions around Xia are all magicians from the Magic Guild. Their situations are almost the same as Xia's. They only have a little magic power left, and can only rely on auxiliary magic to restrain the monsters and delay time.

"Ruined!"

These magicians have fallen into utter despair. Without their magic powers, they are no different from an ordinary civilian.

"Cross of flames!"

Just when the magicians were about to resign themselves to their fate, a powerful voice sounded.

Then they saw a huge cross formed by crossed flames falling from the sky.

Dozens of monsters within the range of the flames had their brains exploded, and their remains gradually turned into nothingness in the burning flames.

The magicians who narrowly escaped death stared blankly at the person who had just cast the magic.

They were stunned and said dryly: "This is... the Lord City Lord?"
