My Magical Card Tavern

Chapter 53 also profited from the war.

The swarm is coming!

As highly mobile units, the rangers and assassins naturally rushed to investigate the situation immediately, despite the strange noises and their pained expressions. However, what they saw sent chills down their spines.

There were so many insects that even the excellent eyesight of these two professionals couldn't distinguish the specific species, and could only give a rough description.

Round, long, and square insects, densely packed together, crawled and wriggled on the ground, crawling and wriggling on the bodies of other insects, surging toward them like a rolling, living wave.

If it weren't for their teammates behind them, the rangers and assassins would be thinking of running away right now.

With one hand covering his forehead and the other holding his battle blade, Ginnell strode forward and, with a clang, blocked a skeleton warrior's weapon strike, saving the warrior who was kneeling on the ground.

"Get out of here!"

Ginnell unleashed a burst of holy light and battle aura, kicking the skeleton warrior to pieces. He then raised his battle blade high, and a ball of golden light flew from the tip of the blade, exploding into a golden firework in the air.

"The Holy Light protects us!"

'

Holy prayer hymn!

A chorus of chants emanated from the holy light, the loud prayers colliding with the strange noises from the outside world, causing the holy light, which had become a protective shield, to sway continuously.

The wounded soldier struggled to his feet and tapped Ginell's chest with his right hand.

"Thanks, bro."

""

I owe you one.

Ginnell reached out and cast a healing spell on him, the battle blade in his hand turning into a card box.

"Be careful, those bugs outside are coming over!"

""

These words jolted the soldier, who had just crawled back from the brink of death, into a deep sleep, and he immediately roared out.

"Everyone assemble and form defensive formations according to their respective teams!"

'

"We have followers of the Holy Light, which can sustain us for a period of time!"

If the swarm could make the assassins and rangers in the team tremble with fear, then the number of insect swarms must be considerable.

Their formation had been disrupted by the sounds of the swarm. Under these circumstances, if they chose to flee individually, they would easily be overwhelmed and defeated one by one by the swarm. It would be better to regroup.

Once everyone is together and we can withstand another wave of the Zerg swarm's attack, our minds will return to normal, and we'll be able to think about how to escape from the Zerg swarm's encirclement.

Ginnell glanced at the swarm of insects that had already overflowed the treetops and felt a chill run down his spine.

Yesterday I thought the number of skeletons was already outrageous enough, but I didn't expect there to be experts among them.

Without a doubt, this must be the insect that was highlighted in the records of the Fate Generator.

"Ginnell said with a serious expression."

"attack!"

Arrows streaked through the air, the light of battle aura tearing through the swarm of insects. The bodies of the insects at the front were immediately ripped apart, exposing foul-smelling blood and unidentified liquid, and another round of stench assaulted the senses.

Aura Slash is a standard ranged attack that all melee classes can learn, although the damage type and specific values ​​will vary depending on the class and aura attribute.

There are quite a few melee fighters who can unleash aura-based slashes, which has alleviated some of the pressure on ranged attackers.

Ginell raised his right foot and stomped forward hard.

Dedication!

The golden area of ​​damage exploded, turning the swarm's limbs and the surrounding environment into smoke.

The adventurers inside the battleground were covered by this golden light, and their wounds, large and small, began to heal rapidly. Their previously listless expressions immediately became more invigorated.

The warrior who had just unleashed the aura slash roared.

"Keep going, we can hold on!"

War Cry!

A layer of crimson light covered everyone, increasing their attack power and boosting the team's morale. Even Ginell could feel his attack strength increase.

But this can't go on forever.

As Ginnar chanted incantations, he outlined the magical structure for a global bombardment. Occasionally, a few elite units would survive the bombardment, only to be fatally struck by assassins emerging from the shadows.

Magic and battle aura will be completely depleted, not to mention the arrows on the archers and rangers.

Compared to the sheer number of insect swarms, Ginnar and the adventurers on the field are like a slightly more stubborn stain; a few vigorous washes from the swarm's tide will clean it up.

"Ginnell turned around and called out."

Where is your support?

An adventurer captain responded.

"have!

'

"When the swarm was discovered, our archers had already fired signal arrows toward the entrance, and there was a response from the rear!"

'

"Once the people in the rear have investigated the situation, the support should arrive soon!"

""

Ginnell hummed in agreement but didn't say anything.

The team's ability to immediately relay intelligence upon sensing something amiss demonstrates their professionalism, but this support should arrive shortly...

Yes, immediately.

There's no definite answer!

If the roar of magic were coming from the entrance, or if a few valiant melee fighters were to forcefully cut through the swarm of insects and offer some hope, Ginnell's thoughts wouldn't be so pessimistic.

This is assuming everything goes smoothly. What if, at this critical juncture, two people with ulterior motives suddenly appear, or even members of the forces that killed the old man, hiding in the association's upper echelons?

That would have caused it to explode.

We can only rely on ourselves now; we can't place all our hopes on reinforcements.

In the past, it was always skeleton monsters; this was the first time a swarm of insects had appeared. Even if the Adventurers' Guild had already discovered the problem, it was impossible for them to send reinforcements in a short time.

With such a large disparity in numbers, bringing in fewer people is simply sending them to their doom; it's not rescue, it's harming them!

Ginnell glanced at the surrounding positions.

The battle took place not far from the tavern, some distance from the safe zone in the Dark Forest.

The idea of ​​evacuating to a safe zone is no longer possible; there is only one option left.

Ginnell looked at him strangely and casually killed a bug that was trying to jump onto his face.

In a sense, could it be considered that he had made a small fortune from the war?

Forget it, human life is at stake!

"Follow me!"

After saying that, Ginnar launched Holy Light Consecration again. The Holy Light's area-of-effect attack burned a large number of insects to death, exposing the wooden door at the end of the attack to everyone.

All the adventurers' eyes widened in disbelief.

No, where did this come from?!

I've never heard of insects in the Dark Forest having a "porter" profession!

Ginnell looked up at the crumbling Holy Light Barrier and realized that the amplification from the Holy Prayer wouldn't last much longer.

"If you don't want to become insect excrement, come in now!"

These words were like a wake-up call. When the adventurers saw that Genelec had already entered the wooden door, they realized that the Holy Light Father in their party was not joking.

That was truly a way out!

A group of adventurers, maintaining a basic formation, surged through the wooden door. Ginnell stood guard at the entrance, unleashing magical attacks to swoop down the swarming insects.

Only after the last assassin crept in through the shadows, screeching his face on the floor, did Gennell slam the wooden door shut.

jingle.

When the guests arrive, the cards arrive too.
