Chapter 212: Evil Abyss
Just as the crossbow arrow was about to pierce Xiling's head, a gust of wind blew past and blocked the half-elf lady's way.
A neat and clean set of Huiyao City armor glowed with a light golden light under the setting sun.
The helmet, which was originally the same, was shot off by the crossbow arrow, revealing the curly hair of the owner of the armor.
At this moment, Percy used his racial talent [Superior Swiftness] to greatly increase his speed.
This talent can give him a wider range of tactical responses, but Percy doesn't like this talent, especially in front of other humans.
"Oh? Curly hair, dark skin... golden eyes...
You are an Abyssborn!"
The human female wearing a horned helmet sat on horseback and looked at Percy with surprise.
“I never thought that among the city lord’s guards, there would be an evil abyss species.
Tsk tsk tsk...you will be the biggest political stain on Shuman!"
After saying that, he waved his hand downwards, issuing an attack order.
"Leave this abyss creature with an intact body, and do as you please with the others.
attack! "
The combat troops at the front moved quickly, with arrows being placed on the crossbows. This military weapon, unique to humans, had advantages in range, power, and accuracy, except for its slow loading speed.
The warriors who had been following the leading woman moved quickly, and the flashes of swords and sabers dazzled Larriel's eyes.
But Percy was faster.
He held Xiling's arm with one hand and grabbed Larrel with the other, holding the dazed priest under his armpit and rushed to the bottom of the ladder with a whoosh.
With Percy's speed advantage, Xiling quickly adapted to this rhythm.
As she stepped onto the ladder, she heard Percy groan, and the hand that was holding her arm twitched noticeably.
But Percy did not slow down his speed. He bit his lips and increased his speed to the extreme.
The figures of the three people left a series of black afterimages on the Z-shaped ladder on the cliff of the Nield Mine.
Percy didn't dare look at his injuries. His swiftness spell couldn't last for too long, and the pursuers behind him wouldn't give him too much time either.
He needs to be faster, much faster.
It would have taken Percy more than ten minutes to get to the bottom of the pit, but this time it took him less than two and a half minutes.
The moment he jumped off the ladder, Percy shouted loudly to Annie.
"Destroy the hanging ladder! Quick! Quick!"
Then everything went black and he fell to the ground in a daze.
……
"Phew—it's finally over!"
Ivan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Although treating dozens of patients would not overdraw his spell count, each one would require the use of an endoscope...
Not every patient can tolerate this process.
Lian, who was standing next to him, took the initiative to support Ivan, who was staggering.
This time, the short half-elf did not shout "perverted brother-in-law" or anything like that, but obediently served as a human support for Alvin.
“Okay, Lianne, huh?
Where have all the people gone? "
After coming to his senses, Alvin finally felt something unusual around him.
Outside the ward, there was a panicked crowd; the few familiar faces were nowhere to be seen.
Just as Ivan was about to walk out of the fence gate to see what was going on, a halfling female blocked his way.
"Lord God's Favored One..."
"Ah, I remember you, you are little Annie's mother!"
The halfling looked up at Ivan, and apart from gratitude, his eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.
“Lord God’s Favored One, before Annie leaves, let me take you away as soon as possible.
There are several mine tunnels under the Nield Mine that have not been sealed yet..."
"leave?"
Ivan didn't react at once.
"Leave? Where to?
My sisters are still here!"
Little Lian also felt a little inexplicably nervous and began to look out through the fence gate.
"grown ups……"
The first miner who received Ivan's "endoscope" treatment walked over. He looked a little listless, which was in stark contrast to the flushed face when he was just cured.
"Kid, I'll still call you that.
The battle of Nield can only be completed by Nield people, no matter the outcome is life or death. "
"My Lord, please leave...
All the Nield people can die in battle, but we cannot let you lose your life here..."
A group of patients who were lying on the hospital beds before were now holding iron bars, pickaxes and other things in their hands, ready to open the gate and rush out.
"no--"
As Alvin saw the halflings and humans becoming increasingly emotional, he felt even more confused.
"What are you all doing?
What about Dead or Alive and Half-Life!
I spent so much time healing you, just so you can run off and die?"
Looking at the group of Nield people in front of him who had no fighting power at all with a bit of anger, Ivan's chest suddenly tightened.
"Oh no! Xiling!"
Without caring about getting angry with this group of patients, Alvin suddenly rose a foot taller and flew out the door.
He used his [Floating Technique].
……
Xiling and Annie, who had rushed over, dragged Percy, who had fallen unconscious to the ground.
There was a crossbow arrow stuck in the back of this city guard. The arrow had penetrated the armor and was deeply embedded in Percy's body.
"Get treatment quickly...
Larrel? Larrel! "
Xiling shook Larriel, who was still in a daze, and woke this pastor girl who had never experienced a real battle from her nightmare.
Larriel, who had just woken up, cast a [Heal Moderate Injuries] spell and grabbed the tail end of the arrow with his other hand.
Having followed Ivan for the past few days, she learned a lot of the perverted knight's healing techniques. The moment she was about to pull out the arrow, she immediately let the healing spell take effect.
But when the arrow was pulled out, Larriel had completely forgotten what to do with his hands, and even the healing spell almost missed Percy.
“This is… Tyr!
Why would the troops of Huiyao City use such vicious weapons! "
The arrowhead of this crossbow had three or four layers of barbs, and was covered with some of Percy's muscle and skin tissue.
The unconscious Percy naturally became even weaker after the arrow was pulled out.
"how so……"
Larriel regretted his impulsiveness and continued to cast healing spells on Percy in a panic.
"Okay, let's get back inside the wall!
The end of the ladder is almost destroyed!"
While Annie organized the evacuation of the halflings who were chiseling the hanging ladder, she and Xiling took care of Percy.
The destruction of the suspension ladder meant that the invading forces would need to find a way to build a new passage.
This will give Nield enough time to catch his breath.
But just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a whistling sound came from above their heads.
Xiling raised her head and saw several objects that looked like wooden barrels falling from the sky.
