Neia took out the magic bow given by the Sorcerer King and quietly aimed at the goatman who was holding the little girl hostage.
But the distance was far away, and the goat man still used the little girl as a shield. Neia was not sure of killing him with one hit. If he missed, it would only hasten the little girl's death.
Elizabeth stopped Neia and said, "Neia, forget it, even if you kill that goat man, other goat men will continue to take that little girl as a hostage."
Neia put down her bow and arrow helplessly and thought of another way.
After Elizabeth stopped Neia, she took the lead and walked towards Remedios.
Remedios was arguing with his men. It was not an easy task to save the little girl.
Although the priest had magic to temporarily paralyze the goatman and make him unable to move, the casting distance of this spell was too close. It was a life-saving trick for mages to fight against melee professions, and it had no effect at all from a distance.
Elizabeth walked up behind Remedios and reminded: "If you keep arguing like this, we will lose."
"Nonsense!" Remedios turned around and glanced at Elizabeth, snorting coldly.
"Captain, please calm down, the enemy is over there."
Everyone looked at Remedios who lost his calmness and became rude.
Elizabeth glanced at Remedios sarcastically and said: "Captain Remedios, you don't know how to fight. You don't know how to fight. If you are so timid, the enemy knows that taking hostages is effective. In order to let us know that it is not a boo.
If we threaten, they will kill several hostages and continue to threaten us."
As if waiting for these words, the head of the hostage girl was chopped off, and the splatter of blood could be seen from a distance.
The goat man let go of the girl's body, and the girl's body fell weakly.
Everyone was silent.
His mind went blank, as if he was rejecting what was happening in front of him.
Remedios came back to his senses and roared angrily at the goat-man: "Damn you, how dare you take action against the hostages? Didn't we do as you asked?"
"Hmph! Just wait and see." The goat-man once again grabbed a dirty little boy. "Hurry up and retreat immediately, or I will continue to kill people." The goat-man said ruthlessly.
"Despicable villain!" Remedios gritted his teeth.
"Hmph! Stupid human, do you understand?" the goat man sneered.
"Everyone retreat!" Remedios ordered helplessly.
Elizabeth and Neia both heard the sound of Remedios gnashing his teeth. His teeth were probably almost broken!
"Deputy Commander, order your people to come back." Remedios said to Gustavo.
"But..." Gustavo hesitated. After all, failure meant exposing everything, and their demise was only a matter of time.
"If you don't do this, the child will be killed, hurry up!" Remedios ordered childishly.
"It's broken! The enemy knows the role of hostages. Now that we have given them more time, they will continue to kill hostages, which will make us lose our will to fight and cause more casualties." The Sorcerer King reminded us.
Remedios blushed and stared at the Sorcerer King as if he were an enemy.
The Sorcerer King was unmoved and continued: "If this continues, the surprise attack will be completely meaningless. Besides, I heard some noise. The enemy is preparing to block the gate. Once the gate is blocked, if they try to attack, the casualties will be unimaginable."
"Shut up!"
Remedios roared and sealed the Sorcerer King's mouth. Then, like a child, he looked at everyone around him and asked, "Does anyone have any good ideas? A way that won't kill anyone."
"Childish!" Elizabeth gave Remedios a contemptuous look. Such a leader would only kill everyone.
This is war! Do you think that coming here is just playing house?
No one said a word, how could there be such a good method.
Neia didn't understand why the leader insisted on not letting anyone die when there was no such method.
The Sorcerer King's words flashed through Neia's mind. Isn't this a necessary sacrifice?
To achieve victory, sacrifices and sacrifices are necessary.
Neia anxiously advised Remedios: "Captain, hurry up and order the attack! It's not too late to start now!"
Remedios looked at Neia coldly, his powerful aura making Neia tremble all over.
She must have said it right! Neia was puzzled.
Remedios shouted at Neia: "This is not justice!"
justice!
What is justice?
The surrounding holy knights remained silent. It seemed that no one wanted to speak for the right Neia, and they were all waiting for Remedios to lead them to the abyss of destruction.
Neia felt hostility coming from all directions and couldn't bear to retreat.
At this time, someone supported Neia and stood side by side with her.
"I support Neia!" Elizabeth supported Neia and said.
Elizabeth's approval made Neia feel warm in her heart.
"Shut up!"
Remedios yelled again, is this her attitude towards people who come all the way to rescue?
The Sorcerer King was a little angry. It didn't matter how disrespectful Remedios was to him, but this attitude towards his own daughter was a bit too much.
"What a waste of time, let me change the situation!" The Sorcerer King finally couldn't help but attack.
Facing the retreating paladins, the Sorcerer King advanced in the opposite direction with them, heading towards the gate step by step.
Seeing the Sorcerer King approaching, the Goatman roared in warning: "That masked guy over there, I tell you to back off."
"Boring! How much do you think a life is worth?" the Sorcerer King replied loudly, ignoring the Goatman and continuing to move forward.
"What!" The Goatman panicked when he discovered that the Sorcerer King ignored the hostage's life and death.
"Our goal is to kill all the goatmen in the shelter. A few hostages are of no help to us. AoE magic, fireball!"
After the Sorcerer King roared angrily, he stretched out his hand, and a fireball appeared in his hand, and then he slammed the fireball towards the goat man and the little boy on the door.
"Boom!"
There was a huge explosion, and the area around the door turned into a sea of fire.
The goatmen and hostages were all blown up or burned to death.
The Sorcerer King remained indifferent and continued to use magic.
"The most powerful magic, shock wave!"
The Sorcerer King raised his hand, and the shock wave blasted out like an Italian cannon. The entire door was directly blown away by magic, and a large number of the goatmen guarding behind the door died.
"You bastard!" Seeing the Sorcerer King take action, Remedios was shocked, angry, and happy, with mixed emotions.
"Alright! Paladins, charge! Kill all the goatmen inside." The Sorcerer King shouted, ignoring Remedios.
"Captain!" Deputy Commander Gustavo looked at Remedios anxiously, fearing that she would miss the opportunity to fight.
Remedios gave the Sorcerer King a sharp look, waved his holy sword, and shouted: "Attack!"
The Holy Knights received the order from the leader and followed the leader to rush to the prisoner shelter in Dakai.
When Gustavo passed by the Sorcerer King, he said to the Sorcerer King: "Your Majesty, the Sorcerer King, thank you for your help!"
Like Gustavo, people with a little sense of reason would look at the Sorcerer King gratefully when they approached him.
Remedios was the only one who expressed displeasure with the Sorcerer King.
