Chapter 380 The Battle of the Underground Holy Spring
……
……
"Boom!!!"
There was a loud noise, and a violent energy hit the protective circle of the Crescent Temple.
In front of the Crescent Temple, Etras and the remaining guards were confronting the monsters outside the magic circle.
Everyone was holding the weapons in their hands nervously, because no one knew how long the magic circle could block the enemy.
Augustus has attacked the magic circle several times in succession. After each attack, the light curtain of the magic circle will become thinner, and now it is full of fine cracks.
"Hehehe, I want to see how many times this magic circle can block my attacks!" Augustus smiled ferociously, raised the magic sword in his hand again, gathered the magic energy, and prepared for the next attack.
"Ow ooh..."
The monsters were outside the magic circle and surrounded the Crescent Temple. There was a low roar in their throats, and because they did not receive August's order, they did not charge at will.
At the same time, in the main hall of the New Moon Temple, there was an underground holy spring.
"I really don't know what the situation is like outside." Alana clasped her hands tightly, her face full of anxiety and worry.
Next to her, there was Sherry and two other guards.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess." Sherry said softly, and then gently held Alana's hand.
"I can't help but worry, Xuexue." Alana raised her head and glanced at Sheris, pursed her lips and said, "There are monsters outside...Father and mother are both outside, and there is that guy named Augustus. …Woo…”
"It will be fine." Sherry said softly: "You have to believe them, Your Highness Princess. And..." Sherry paused.
"And classmate Lin Tianlang, he will definitely be able to successfully activate the Holy Bell. As long as the Holy Bell is activated, we will all be saved."
"Yes." Alana nodded slightly, igniting a glimmer of confidence.
"Xuexue, it's great to have you here with me." Alana said.
"..."
"Boom!!!!" The dark energy light ball formed by the demonic energy once again hit the protective circle of the Crescent Temple. The light curtain of the magic circle became thinner and had more cracks.
Judging from the current situation, the formation can only withstand two more attacks from Augustus at most, and it will be unable to sustain it.
Seeing that the light curtain formed by the protective circle was weakened, the monsters also roared with excitement. They can no longer restrain their desire to kill.
"Hahaha!! Come again!!!" Augustus laughed wildly and started to attack again.
"Boom!!!!"
"Boom!!!!!!!"
"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Rumble...~~~~!!!"
Finally, the protective formation was destroyed. Like broken glass, the light curtain formed by the protective circle shattered into crystal pieces, and then turned into photons and dissipated in the air.
"Ho ho ho!!!" There was no need to wait for August's order. The moment the magic circle was broken, the monsters roared and rushed forward.
The last layer of protection of the Crescent Temple has also disappeared. At this time, only Aitras and the remaining thirty warriors are blocking the underground holy spring.
"Come on, come on! Come on all of them!!!" Augustus raised his arms and shouted.
"Warriors, don't let the monsters get close to the Crescent Temple!!!" Atras shouted, then raised the sword in his hand and struck at the monsters.
"Kill!!!" The elf warriors were also shouting. With the Crescent Moon Temple facing away, this is their last piece of pure land.
However, no matter how strong the momentum, no matter how fearless and brave, no matter how full of fighting spirit the flames are, they cannot escape the fate of being extinguished in the face of so many enemies.
The remaining elven warriors had already gone through several battles, and most of them were injured. Moreover, both physical strength and magic power reserves in the body have been depleted. Facing these hundreds of monsters rushing towards them, it is too difficult to block them with just a few dozen people.
"Uhhhhh!!"
"Woo..."
The soldiers fell one after another. Soon, the thirty or so turned into twenty; the twenty or so turned into a dozen; the dozen turned into a few... Atras and his men fought and waited. He retreated until he reached the stairs of the temple. Esta stayed by her husband's side, but her fighting ability had also declined significantly.
After all, she was not a specially trained warrior, so Esta's physical strength was still slightly weaker. Continuous shooting of arrows took a huge toll on her mental and physical strength.
"Give up your resistance, Atlas." Augustus smiled ferociously. He didn't take action. He had consumed a lot of magic power just now to break through the protective circle of the Crescent Temple. But then, he thought that he didn't need to take action anymore, because it was impossible for these few defeated soldiers to resist his monster soldiers.
However, at this moment, a loud and penetrating bell suddenly came from behind.
"Boom-!!"
"Boom——!!!"
“Boom——!!!!!!”
The sacred bells sounded one wave after another, full of momentum. Everyone stopped what they were doing, including the monsters and August himself. Everyone looked in the direction where the bell was coming from.
"Great, great!" Atlas said happily: "He succeeded!! It's the Holy Bell!!"
"What?" August's eyes flashed with horror. In fact, since he was confident about attacking Crescent City, he also had some knowledge of the Holy Bell. He knew that the Life Crystal was the key to activating the Holy Bell, but he also concluded that Aitras did not dare to send someone with the crystal to activate the Holy Bell.
In his hand, there was a magic weapon given to him by the Demon Lord, which could detect the breath of life. The place with the strongest breath of life is the location of the crystal. If the location of the crystal changes, he can immediately go and snatch it.
But now, his magic weapon told him that the place with the strongest breath of life was under the Crescent Temple in front, and the location had not moved. In this case, who activated the Holy Bell?
"That's great..." Esta also smiled, as did Naklei, Xue Nawen and the other three remaining elf guards present. Everyone knew what the ringing of the holy bell meant, and they were all saved.
The bells kept reverberating, and the earth began to tremble. The monsters were a little panicked, and there was a trace of chaos in their formation. Immediately afterwards, vines suddenly sprouted out of the soil one after another. The moment these vines emerged from the earth, they immediately locked onto their targets.
Some vines pierced the target monster's chest like spears; some vines quickly wrapped around the target monster's neck, twisting it into pieces; some vines first wrapped around the monster's feet, and then cooperated with other vines to entangle it. Capture its limbs and give the monster a beating.
Countless vine soldiers emerged from the earth and began to destroy the invading enemies.
"Damn it!" August cursed. When the holy bell rang, the situation suddenly exceeded his expectations, and he suddenly lost his composure.
"Attack, attack me!!!" August shouted violently.
"No!" Atlas gritted his teeth. Although the power of the forest has been awakened and started to clean up the monsters, the big trouble of August has not been solved yet, and the hundreds of monsters in front of him are not cleared so quickly. The battle is not over yet.
"Ouch!!!!" the monsters shouted and charged again.
"Back up!" Atras shouted, leading the few remaining people up the stairs and retreating into the main hall. The monsters also rushed up, and there was another fight in the hall.
"These hateful monsters..." Esta pursed her lips, knocked out a monster in front of her with the bow in her hand, and then picked up the long knife in the hand of the fallen guard next to her. She also ran out of arrows and had to pick up a melee weapon.
"Okay...very good!!" August slowly walked up the stairs and entered the main hall. His eyes were gloomy and terrifying, and the demonic aura billowing from his body was releasing his anger.
"Augus..."
Atlas gritted his teeth, his eyes also filled with hatred for the enemy.
"Drink!!" Suddenly, Augustus suddenly raised his hand, and then released a dark beam. The Elf Throne in the main hall was blown to pieces, but that was not the point. The point was that the mechanism under the throne, the secret passage leading to the underground holy spring, was exposed!
"Come in and grab the life crystal!!!" August ordered the monster loudly.
"Ouch!!!!" After hearing August's order, those monsters that were not entangled with the elf guards immediately rushed into the secret passage.
"No! Stop them!!" Atlas shouted, and then he rushed over to block the secret passage. But before he could take two steps, a black shadow appeared in front of him like a flash.
"Impossible!!" August screamed ferociously, and then slashed his sword at Etras.
Atlas quickly raised the Elven Blade to parry. The sound of gold and iron colliding resounded in the air, and the powerful force forced Atras back several steps, making his arms feel numb.
"Your opponent is me!!!" August roared, his face looking quite terrifying at this time.
"Your Majesty, we are here to help you!!!" Seeing that the king was in danger, Nakele and Xue Naiwen immediately rushed over.
"Etras!!" Esta shouted her husband's name loudly and wanted to go over to help, but a strong orc stopped her in front of her.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you should worry about yourself first!!" The orc leader Vito smiled lewdly, and then rushed towards Esta.
……
"What's the sound?" Sherry heard some noisy movements in the underground holy spring. She stood up keenly and looked at the entrance to the secret passage.
"What happened?" Alana asked nervously.
"..."
Sherry pursed her lips and did not answer. But she took out her folding bow and drew an arrow and put it on the bowstring. Seeing Shiris's reaction, the two guards next to him immediately drew out their long knives.
"Get ready to fight!" Sheris said seriously, picking up her bow and arrow, and aimed at the entrance of the secret passage.
The next moment, a howling monster rushed in, then two, three... a large group of monsters rushed in!
