Chapter 24 024 Battle of The Last Resort (2)
“Master Colin!”
“Colin!”
On the chaotic battlefield, only two people noticed that poor Colin was sent flying.
One was Knight Raymond, and the other was Vera.
Raymond was originally guarding beside Colin, but he did not expect Colin to be sent flying in a single move. It was too late to save him.
Moreover, as he was at the front of the line, Raymond could not be bothered to check on Colin’s situation. He could only grit his teeth and fight against the trolls that kept coming at him.
As for Vera.
She had not been paying attention to Colin.
From the moment the troll wolf cavalry appeared, she had been hiding in the back row preparing spells. She had no time to care about the situation in the front row.
Until she was shocked by Colin, who had fallen from the sky and landed at her feet.
Fortunately, she had just finished casting a spell and was resting. Otherwise, she would have been frightened by Colin and stopped casting “Colin! Are you… are you okay?”
Vera looked at Colin in front of her and was suddenly at a loss.
Because Colin’s injury looked really scary.
A spear pierced through his chest and nailed him to the ground.
With such an injury, even if Vera wanted to save him, she didn’t know where to start.
At this moment, Colin was grimacing in pain.
The waves of sharp pain made his consciousness not very clear. He wanted to just pass out, but when he saw Vera beside him, he suddenly changed his mind.
It was not the time to play dead.
It would be a waste if he did not show off and leave a deep impression on Vera’s mind.
The young and beautiful mage was the fourth successor of the Duke of the Northern Territory!
She was a strong woman.
If Colin wanted to deal with Earl Oman, who was trying to steal the title of the Duke of the Angele family, this was the best opportunity for him.
“Miss Vera, help me.”
“How… How?”
“Pull it out!”
“No! You… You’ll die…”
“I’ll die standing up! I don’t want to be nailed to the ground like an insect!” Colin’s performance showed how strong a man should be.
“…” Vera was speechless.
“Hurry up!”
Vera then used her trembling hands to hold the spear in front of Colin’s chest.
Then, she looked at Colin’s eyes hesitantly.
There, she didn’t see any cowardice or fear of death, only determination.
Affected by such a gaze, Vera took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and pulled hard.
“Ah!”
Colin screamed, hating himself for not being immune to pain.
“Colin!” Vera shouted with red eyes. At the same time, she quickly stepped forward to support Colin, who was barely standing but was on the verge of collapse.
The familiar soft touch and fragrance, butColin was not in the mood to enjoy it.
The intense pain made it impossible for him to stay calm, let alone stand alone.
At this time, he realized that it was not so easy to be a hero.
Forget it, it was better to lie down and pretend to be dead.
“Don’t mind me!” Colin hissed, “Hurry up and prepare the spells. Those warriors who are fighting in front of the formation need your help more than I do.”
“… Okay!” Vera did not dawdle. First, she helped Colin to sit cross-legged on the ground, then she turned around and began to cast spells.
At this time, both sides were in the middle of a fierce battle. However, Colin found that the troll wolf cavalry could not penetrate the human’s formation. Instead, they were trapped deep inside and were tightly entangled by those fearless soldiers.
This time, he could finally heave a sigh of relief.
As long as the wolf cavalry fell into the formation and lost their speed advantage, then the humans would have a chance to win.
Furthermore…
“Ta ta ta!”
The crisp sound of horse hooves rang out once again.
It was the knight who led the cavalry and returned!
This cavalry team of less than a hundred people appeared at the most critical moment. Like a sharp arrow, it pierced straight into the back of the troll army’s formation.
“Reinforcements are coming! Kill!”
It was unknown who shouted, but the human side suddenly erupted with an astonishing aura. Meanwhile, the troll side fell into chaos under the situation of being attacked from both sides.
“Whoosh!”
Colin only felt a burst of icy aura suddenly erupt from behind him.
Then, he saw countless raindrops falling from the sky instantly freeze into ice blades, smashing toward the center of the troll army.
Vera also began to show her power.
“Kill that mage!”
The trolls also realized Vera’s existence and wanted to get rid of this long-range spell caster.
However, how could the human soldiers who fought for this goddess ever let the trolls even get close to her?
They surrounded her like crazy and formed a human wall in front of Vera, blocking the path of the trolls.
Blood and bones splattered everywhere. The battle had reached its most tragic moment.
All of a sudden, Colin only saw a flash of red light. A blood-red spear broke through the layers of the human wall and suddenly appeared in front of Vera.
A good opportunity!
Without any hesitation, Colin leaped in front of Vera.
“Chi!”
The spear pierced through Colin’s chest again.
He seemed to feel that his heart, which had stopped beating, had been destroyed by the two consecutive strikes of the spear.
“Colin! Colin!” Vera pounced on him, tears flowing uncontrollably. “Why? Why…”
Colin wanted to be as sentimental as some melodramatic TV series, but the intense pain almost drowned his will.
At this time, he knew that he had to use the simplest action to leave the deepest impression on Vera’s heart!
So, he said softly, “I hope I can be buried with one of your personal belongings…”
“No, you won’t die, you won’t die…” Vera cried and shook her head. Colin didn’t speak anymore but slowly reached out to touch Vera’s earlobe.
Vera did not stop him. She let Colin take off one of her diamond earrings.
Colin held the earring tightly in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.
It hurts so much!
Colin roared in his heart.
However, he felt that his performance just now was not bad.
He believed that in this way, he would leave a lasting impression on Vera’s heart.
Moreover, through this rather ambiguous action, he even vaguely expressed his love for her.
He believed that this would cause great damage to a naive girl like Vera!
Poor Vera did not know that the guy in her arms was playing dead and used this to plot against her.
However, after crying for a while, she immediately wiped away her tears.
Now was not the time to be sad.
Vera gently put Colin down, then turned around resolutely, raised the magic staff in her hand high, and chanted.
Powerful arcane energy began to gather around her.
The rain seemed to get heavier.
The wind seemed to get more frantic.
Vera’s blonde hair turned pure white again, and even her blue pupils became pale, like solid ice that would not melt for ten thousand years.
An invisible force slowly lifted her up into the air.
The female mage stood proudly in the air, looking down at the battlefield in front of her like a god.
At this moment, the extreme cold had arrived!
Colin, who was about to faint, was shivering from the cold.
He quietly opened one of his eyes, wanting to see what had happened.
Due to the angle, he only saw Vera’s mage robe fluttering in the air and the part that was exposed to him…
Pink…
“Puff!”
Blood spurted out both nostrils.
Knight Colin’s injury was even more serious now…
