Chapter 65: Despair Spreads
The monsters were unable to break through the defense of the barrier. They stood outside with their claws and fangs bared, madly beating the barrier of the magic barrier, but their attacks obviously did not have much effect. The ripples on the magic barrier easily offset the monsters' attacks.
"Boss, speaking of which, I should be able to be promoted to a glory-level adventurer after this mission is completed, and my elder sister should be almost there too." Einbert continued with a smile on his face, "In this way, our ranking will rise by one."
"Don't think too highly of yourself. Look what that is." Sally said coldly, pointing to a place outside the barrier.
"Let me see Wozhi! The mountain giant!"
Einbert nearly popped his eyes out of his head at a casual glance.
It is nearly twenty meters tall, with bulging gray-brown muscles like hard rocks, and its body is covered with dark green moss. From a distance, it really looks like a small hill.
This is a monster of the same level as the 'Earth Violent Bear' and the 'Vampire'. Even Glory-level adventurers find it difficult to contend with it. Only a true hero can defeat this kind of monster.
"And those." Sally pointed in certain directions with a cold look on her pretty face.
Einbert looked at them one by one, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his cynical expression completely sank.
What did he see?
Silver-eyed Medusa, Two-headed Gila, Greedy Claw, Minotaur, Cyclops King
"There are so many scary creatures in the Sloda Forest." Einbert felt his throat was dry, and a very bad premonition arose spontaneously.
We didn’t see these scary guys in the battle just now.
"They did it on purpose." For some reason, Einbert had this thought in his mind.
So what is their purpose in doing this? If all these monsters had joined the battle just now, Roselowe would have been lost by now. Even if the 'Glorious Knight' tried his best to entangle one or two of them, the remaining monsters would be enough to crush all the adventurers.
Is it just to make people feel desperate?
The faces of the members of the 'Glorious Knights' were so gloomy that they almost dripped water. At their level, they naturally guessed the mastermind behind the siege, but they found that they still underestimated the power of that organization.
Without deploying a single soldier, he could easily destroy a city by relying solely on the monsters he controlled.
"Master Ambro, thank you for your help just now."
Just when the members of the 'Glorious Knights' were upset, Corriveau led his teammates to express their gratitude to the 'Glorious Knights'.
Their arrival made the members of the 'Glorious Knights' feel a little relieved.
The members of the 'Glorious Knights' still admired Corriveau and his 'Demon Hunters' team very much. In the battle just now, the 'Demon Hunters' were almost the most desperate team besides the 'Glorious Knights'. Even the monsters killed by those gold-level adventurers were slightly inferior to them.
"Please don't take it to heart." Ambro waved his hand and said, "Your spirit makes me and my companions admire you very much."
Corrivor blushed and said, "You are too kind. We are not mentally ill or not. We just want to protect our home from being destroyed by those monsters."
After hearing this, Alvis, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Corriveau, if such protection requires the price of life, can you still do it?"
Alvis rarely spoke a complete sentence, which surprised the other members of the 'Glorious Knights'.
Corrivo was silent for a long time. It must be said that Alvis' words touched his heart. Can he give up his life? The answer is of course no. Corrivo does not want to die. He still has a beloved wife and a lively daughter at home. In the depths of his heart, there is a small village that he cannot give up in this life. How can Corrivo accept that he will die so casually? He cannot give up either his family or his hometown.
But...if...there really comes such a day.
"I have no regrets even if I die." This was the final answer Corriveau gave to Alvis.
Alves' eyes seemed to light up, and then he nodded and said, "Sorry, I'm being rude."
"No, no, this is not a disrespectful thing. Rather, I want to thank you for helping me sort out my inner thoughts."
The members of the 'Glorious Knights' found that Corriveau seemed to have become a different person in an instant. His whole body was filled with fighting spirit. Although he still looked a little depressed after the war, it did not hinder the brightness of his eyes at all.
In fact, the members of the 'Glorious Knights' had such experiences before, and their transformation was even more thorough, otherwise they would not have been able to get to where they are today. Yerven and others, who originally did not pay much attention to these silver-level adventurers, now look at them with a different eye.
Although Corriveau had figured out a lot, he still asked with some concern: "Lord Ambro, do you think we can win the next battle? Look at them."
Corriveau pointed at the adventurers around him, his brows furrowed.
You know, even the 'Glorious Knight' felt very troubled when seeing those terrible monsters, let alone those ordinary adventurers. A sense of despair that the end of the world was coming quietly enveloped everyone.
"Impossible. How can I fight a monster like that? I will definitely die."
"I've heard of that two-headed poisonous lizard. It wiped out three silver-level teams."
"Why does the Silver-Eyed Medusa appear here? Shouldn't it be in that underground city?"
"Mom, I want to go home..."
This is already a chaos that is enough to shake people's hearts. If it continues like this, those adventurers will lose the courage to face monsters, let alone fight.
People are in a panic. If nothing is done, they will not be able to form a fighting force just like a pile of scattered sand. However... even if everyone forms a fighting force, what can they do? Those monsters cannot be easily defeated by emotions such as courage and faith.
Without real power, no matter how strong your faith is, you will not be able to defeat the monster.
Ambro looked around and saw that except for a few people, most of the adventurers with some knowledge seemed to have given up the idea of resistance. Many people's hearts had begun to waver. The joy they had originally gained from the short-term victory was washed away. Was it worth it to defend Roselowe for that illusory hope? If these adventurers ignored the safety of Roselowe and focused on breaking through, perhaps a small number of people could really escape.
Maybe, I can be one of the lucky ones.
The ideas of some adventurers have gradually overlapped with those of Brill.
This is a very dangerous sign.
What can be done to restore the will of everyone, or what can be done to break through the almost fatal situation in front of them? Faced with this almost unsolvable problem, the 'Glorious Knight' also remained silent.
