Chapter 454: Vangus's Help

Soon, the monster army pressed onto the city wall, and the two sides officially started hand-to-hand combat.

Compared to the defenders commanded by Ryan in Vahlan, the defenders of Faro City were all elite members of the Knights of Glory or Kyle's personal soldiers. They were able to handle the monsters' fierce attacks with ease.

However, no matter how elite they are, these defenders are no more than 3,000 people. Facing an army of 100,000 monsters, they would be exhausted to death.

"freeze."

Alice pointed lightly with her small hand, and a gust of cold air spread out. The rainwater on the outer surface of the piers on the city wall that had not dried yet instantly turned into solid ice.

Many monsters that raised their claws to climb up the city wall failed to grab the smooth ice surface and slid down directly, turning into black mud.

Seeing Alice using magic again, Ryan turned around and asked, "Alice, how do you feel?"

Alice shook her head: "I can still use this little magic now, but that's all I can do."

Although Alice can be considered an ancestor of the elves, she still does not have the blessing of the Eternal Tree like Ryan, and her magic recovery speed is completely incomparable to Ryan.

Kyle noticed Alice's condition and asked, "We still have a few bottles of potion that can restore magic power. Do you want me to bring them to you?"

The potion reserves were running low, and the remaining amount was only enough for one person to restore his magic. Kyle had originally planned to leave these potions for Stephanie, but Stephanie had already fallen into a coma.

Hearing this, Alice pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Bring it here, thank you for your help."

"Alice..."

Ryan hesitated to speak.

In Alice's words, although potions are convenient, they also have significant side effects.

In addition to being addictive to a certain extent, if potions are taken for a long time, the remaining residue will settle in the magic pathways, causing magic blockage.

This is an irreversible and permanent damage, which is extremely harmful, especially for the elves with long lifespans.

Alice saw what Ryan was worried about and spoke to comfort him: "Don't worry, I drank a lot when I was studying potions before, and a few bottles of potions won't affect me."

"……Um."

Ryan responded sullenly. He knew that if it wasn't for the aggressive army of monsters, Alice would never touch the potion again after knowing the dangers of the potion.

Soon, Kyle brought the only three remaining bottles of potion to Alice.

Alice placed the potion in the pocket of her robes and watched the situation.

Although she said she would wait and see the situation, Alice had already put her hands in her pockets and silently clenched the potion bottle.

The reason why Alice didn't drink the potion immediately was because the magic power restored for her by the potion was not enough to deal with the 100,000 monsters in front of her. What she had to do was to maximize the use of the restored magic power.

The soldiers at this time were obviously exhausted. As long as the defense line was broken, Alice would immediately drink the potion and build a huge ice wall for Faro City, allowing the soldiers to catch their breath and rest.

If we can hold on a little longer, it is not impossible to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

At this moment, a soldier was distracted for a moment and was pulled down from the city wall by two black claws and fell into the Black Sea.

A gap finally appeared in the defense line. In just a moment, more than a dozen monsters rushed onto the city wall and began to attack the defenders on both sides.

Seeing that the defense lines on both sides were disrupted and the gap was getting bigger and bigger, Alice took a deep breath.

At this moment, a big hand reached into her pocket, silently took up her small hand holding the potion bottle, and squeezed it gently.

Alice was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and saw Ryan holding her hand, smiling faintly and nodding at her.

Seeing this, Alice couldn't help but feel relieved, and slowly loosened her grip on the potion bottle.

Then, Ryan drew out the black sword, strode forward, pierced the chest of a charging monster with the sword, and then kicked it off the city wall.

The attacking monsters were turned into black mud under Ryan's sword, and the gap in the defense line was easily filled by Ryan.

While dealing with the monsters that were climbing up, Ryan also shouted to the soldiers on both sides: "Keep moving outwards and compress the defense line!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers on both sides immediately moved closer, making the area guarded by Ryan much wider.

At the same time, with the compression of the defense line, the pressure on the remaining soldiers to defend the city was reduced a little, and the defense line became stable again.

But, it can only last for a moment.

Ryan, who had entered the state, tirelessly killed the monsters that climbed up the city wall. He didn't know how long he had been defending. When he looked up again, the attacking monsters outside the city were still so numerous that he couldn't see the end of them.

At the same time, shrill screams began to be heard from the top of the city. In an instant, dozens of soldiers were torn to pieces by the monsters, and the defense line was on the verge of collapse.

Mitchell, with several wounds on his body, was desperately killing monsters to fill the gap in the defense line, while loudly encouraging the soldiers, but the collapse of the defense line was already a foregone conclusion.

"damn it……"

Ryan cursed inwardly and fiercely thrust the black sword into the wall under his feet: "Cerber..."

"Roar!!"

A huge roar suddenly interrupted Ryan's words, and then a huge black shadow enveloped countless soldiers.

Ryan subconsciously raised his head and found that the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated and it was already dusk.

Under the dim setting sun, a huge black dragon spread its wings, and a terrible energy was brewing in its mouth.

"boom!!"

A terrifying dragon breath spewed out from the dragon's mouth, leaving a huge gully outside the city wall of Faro City. The lingering dragon breath on the ground completely blocked the monster's attack!

Kyle was overjoyed: "Reinforcements are coming! Quick! Drive all the monsters off the city walls!"

"kill!!"

The morale of the soldiers defending the city also increased. They waved their weapons and quickly slaughtered all the monsters that attacked the city.

At this time, Vangus also arrived in the sky near the wall of Faro City, flapping his wings and slowly landing in a wide open area.

Seeing that the monsters were still hesitating in front of the dragon breath left by Vangus, the warriors began to shoot the monsters outside with bows and arrows.

Ryan also had a chance to catch his breath, and together with Kyle, he came to the place where Vangus landed, intending to greet Vangus.

As soon as they arrived at the place where Vangus landed, Kyle and Ryan saw from afar an old man in black armor grabbing scales and brewing something.

The next moment, the old man jumped down, but ended up falling flat on his face, rolling several times.

This person is none other than Chad, the former vice-leader of the Dark Knights.
