Chapter 190. The Last Five Kilometers
The fact that he could hide around the Lich Sword Death Servants and observe the situation was enough to prove the strength of this scout mage. However, even if he faced a single Lich Sword Death Servant, he would be cut into several neat pieces in a matter of minutes, let alone dealing with a whole squad of Lich Sword Death Servants by himself!
"W-what?! What did you say?!" Commander Luo Val of the Guards looked at the scout mage in astonishment.
He even thought the scout was hallucinating. How could it be that one person had brutally murdered dozens of Wrathful Sword Death Servants?
Is this person a high-level mage?
But apart from their two super-level mages, there don't seem to be any other super-level mages in this city, right?
The Wraith Sword Deadpool is an undead creature from inside the pyramid. Any undead creature that can enter and exit the pyramid is incredibly powerful.
If you consider the pyramid as a small palace, then the Wraith Sword Death Servants are like the palace's patrolling guards, far superior to the wandering undead outside.
To tear a gap in a squad of Fiendish Swordsmen, one would essentially have to sacrifice half of their manpower, and that would only result in a small opening.
And the other party is alone?
They killed them all?
This is incredible strength! One person is equivalent to an entire squadron!
"Officer, Officer Fenner, we can proceed!" No matter how shocked he was, Rovar still had to report the intelligence from ahead.
Staff Officer Fenner was equally astonished upon receiving this intelligence.
Didn't this group of volunteer vanguards just rush over? How come they've already paved the way?
Seemingly anticipating Fenner's shock and confusion, he added, "Didn't you previously send a team from the Great Xia Kingdom to deal with the Poisonous Golden Mummy? It seems their team leader got lost—oh, no, he went straight to the mountaintop and fought those Wraith Sword Death Servants, and as a result, all of them were wiped out."
According to the scouts, Mo Fan was heading straight for the mountaintop, not because he was lost.
After a long silence, Staff Officer Fenner finally spoke, saying only a few words: "Yes, I understand."
Clearly, this is a huge amount of information.
The main force surged forward. Had those Fiend Sword Servants not been killed, they could have easily slaughtered many of the vanguard mages, inflicting even greater damage on the main force. Unfortunately, they didn't have that chance.
The high ground was immediately occupied, and the barrier mages began to set up barriers accordingly.
The necromantic barrier can resist the invasion of the undead to the greatest extent. As long as the necromantic barrier is maintained, they will have won this small battle.
Soon, Nan Jue and the others arrived. Fenner gave the National Team an explanation and dealt directly with the commander who distrusted the Great Xia National Team.
The commander knelt down and pleaded, "I have no objection to your judgment. I am willing to be a mage without any rank, a lowly soldier."
"You're too eager to attack. You could be killing the entire legion. You should be grateful for those trainees you underestimated. Without them, we would have paid a much higher price in lives to capture this hill," Staff Officer Fenner reprimanded.
"Yes, without them, my team would have been surrounded by the Poison Gold Mummy. I am grateful for their help in saving us and eliminating the Poison Gold Mummy. I shouldn't have been so arrogant and presumptuous," Wankos said.
"That's not what I was talking about!" Fenner said, his voice tinged with anger.
Wankos looked bewildered. "That's not what I'm talking about." "Then what are we talking about?"
Meanwhile, the commander, who had been shocked earlier, relayed the information the scout had told him to the scout.
Only after learning about this did he realize how much he had looked down on people.
Afterwards, he sincerely apologized again and said that he would continue to fight as a soldier.
"A new batch of soldiers will arrive, and the temple mages will join them. Wankos, you and your men must protect them. Even if it costs you your lives, you cannot let them suffer the slightest harm, understand?" Seeing this, Fenner still gave him this chance.
"Understood!" Wankos replied emphatically.
Wankos will naturally cherish this opportunity, because if he fails to complete this mission, his career will truly come to an end.
That's not the result Wankos wanted!
After setting up camp, the special undead barrier seems to be able to isolate the undead from hatred to some extent.
With this barrier in place, the undead from further away would no longer rush here, allowing the main force to quickly establish a foothold at this second camp.
Everyone will rest here for a day.
This would allow the mages to recover some of their magical energy, and also allow them to treat those with more serious injuries, or send them back to the city.
The next morning, a new group of people gathered, including some of the most important people: the temple's female mages.
These female students are all masters of the world's most powerful healing magic. They are strong but fragile and not very good at protecting themselves, so they need a lot of people to provide them with comprehensive protection.
After the temple mage arrived, Mo Fan saw Xin Xia who followed him.
Fortunately, Xinxia is now able to stand and walk on her own, which makes Mo Fan feel a little more at ease in this battlefield.
After the men and horses met up, they headed to the third camp, which was ten kilometers away from the pyramids.
The third camp was captured very smoothly, but when the barrier was established, completely isolating everyone on this loess hilltop, a sense of unease lingered in everyone's hearts.
This wave-like advance is only suitable for the first half of the journey, since it is relatively close to the city and does not get too deeply involved with the undead army. However, in the second half, it is a one-way road, and only by winning can everyone be safe!
If we fail, the only outcome will be annihilation.
Because the road ahead is now overrun with the dead!
For Mo Fan and the others, their training mission was essentially over once they reached this point.
They could choose to wait here and return. But they knew even more clearly that if the Egyptian sorcerer was defeated, their way back would likely be cut off. Even the national army wasn't entirely confident of fighting their way back through so many undead.
Mo Fan stayed by Xin Xia's side throughout this period.
Although she could walk, she was not an offensive mage. Although Mu Ningxue's cultivation level was not very high, she had the advantage of a high-level domain, so she was not in much trouble on this kind of battlefield.
Soon, the group began their charge. Mo Fan led the charge, while Xin Xia followed closely on her Blue Dream Horned Beast. Although the battlefield, littered with wreckage, entrails, and blood, gave her a strong visual shock that made her want to vomit, there was no hint of avoidance in her black, gem-like eyes.
Xin Xia is not just a pretty face; she is now a high-level mage and can even use blessing magic to amplify Mo Fan's magical destructive power.
Although he would have had no trouble even without Xin Xia's boost, with Xin Xia's help, there were no obstacles in his path!
With the blessing effect, Mo Fan's lightning and fire spells were multiplied in power, and his wind spells were so powerful that no undead were spared wherever they went.
