Chapter 59: Wolf Pavasion

  The town could no longer be defended.

  Crk gripped his longbow tightly, staring at the mass of wolves outside. His jaw was ched, and his expression was filled with anguish. Those damned magical beasts were almost upon the walls, and he felt utterly powerless against them.

  He turned his head, looking at the militiamen beside him, who were already in a pitiful state. Although the walls offered some prote, the fmes spewed by the bck wolves had still burned many. These magical fmes were nearly fatal for ordinary people.

  "This pce is done for."

  Crk sighed deeply, then turned his gaze to a young girl not far from him. She had golden curls, and the pure white robe she wore was now stained with deep red blood and dust. Yet, despite this, she tio try to heal the wounded around her.

  The girl extended her hand, and a faint white glow soon appeared, enveloping the injured, dispelling the bck mist ging to their bodies. Uhe illumination of this holy light, the once pained expressions of the wounded gradually became peaceful. But Crk khis was merely a drop in the bucket.

  "Little girl, leave this pce!"

  Crk sighed again, looking at the girl beside him. "You still have time. There's no need for you to die here with us! This is our home, but you're just a traveler!"

  "But I am a priestess, a priestess of the Temple of Order!"

  Hearing Crk's words, the golden-haired girl wiped away the tears at the er of her eyes and shook her head. Her voice was a bit hoarse, even trembling slightly, but still, she refused to leave.

  "Proteg order and fighting chaos is my duty! I will never flee from the battlefield!"

  "Ah..."

  Hearing her reply, Crk sighed again. He raised his longbow and looked down once more. By now, the bck wolves had already reached the base of the wall. They raised their heads, opening their mouths wide, and spewed forth crimson fmes.

  The scorg heat rushed toward them, f Crk to retreat, barely avoiding the skiing temperatures. But even so, the stone walls beside him, built with so much effort, began to soften uhe intense fmes, melting like butter.

  "Damn it!"

  Seeing this, Crk's face darkehese bck wolves were not ordinary beasts but magical creatures. On this ti, magical beasts were essentially creatures mutated by chaotic magic. Their attacks were not purely physical; in fact, each strike carried the power of chaos.

  Aruck by them would be instantly ied by chaotic magic, dying a miserable death and turning into a monster. If it weren't for this priestess of the Temple of Order lodging here by ce, the town wouldn't have held out this long. It would have been utterly destroyed in the first wave of the bck wolves' attack.

  But now...

  "You two, take her away immediately!"

  Crk made a swift decision, signaling to two soldiers beside him and giving them a stern order. "This young dy is a priestess of the temple and must not be harmed! Take her to the docks immediately and board the Red Fish."

  He tinued, "Remember, even at the cost of your lives, you must ensure her safety. Uood?!"

  "Yes, sir!"

  The two soldiers Crk's and, then approached the priestess, intending to help her up. But when the priestess realized their iions, her expression ged dramatically.

  "You 't do this! If we just hold on, there will be help. You 't give up..."

  "Thank you, miss, but we know there's no point in holding on any longer."

  Fag the priestess's words, Crk gave a bitter smile. "Sweetwater Town is just a small pce. Even if we sent out a call for help, it's uhat reinforts could be spared from the frontlines."

  He tinued, "To be ho, I’m deeply grateful to you. Because of your presence, we were able to evacuate everyone else. Otherwise, the town would have fallen on the first night of the bck wolves' attack."

  "But now, our families are safe. We have s. Let us fight for our home until the very end!"

  "You all..."

  Hearing this, the priestess bit her lip, not knowing what to say. Crk turned his back to her, drawing his bow again, aiming at the wolves below.

  "Go now! You saved our families; now it's time for us to repay that. Miss, you're still young. You have a long life ahead of you!"

  "But..."

  The priestess clearly wao say more, but by now, the two soldiers had reached her. Seeing their determined yet pale faces, she hesitated.

  She reached out, tightly grippiaff, as if p something.

  But just then, an ued event occurred!

  "Awoooo—!"

  A sharp howl echoed, c the eown. Hearing this sound, both Crk and the priestess turheir heads toward its source.

  To their shock, they saw a massive bck wolf on a small hill not far behind the pack, howling at the sky.

  "The alpha wolf..."

  Seeing the enormous bck wolf, two to three meters tall, Crk's fastantly turned ashen. The longbow in his hand slipped ao the ground with a thud.

  As a seasoned hunter from the northern regions, he knew all too well how terrifying an alpha wolf could be. Yet, even Crk had never seen a real alpha wolf before.

  In the North, bck wolves were nothing more than a legend whispered beside children's pillows and a in hunters' versations. But when faced with one iy, it was airely different sight.

  "Awoooo—!"

  As the alpha wolf howled, the chaotic bck wolves below raised their heads, howling in respoheir assault became even more ferocious!

  "Boom!"

  The bck wolves hurled themselves at the wall, disregarding their own safety. They charged at the wall like mad creatures, even if it meant smashing their heads bloody.

  The bck wolves' bodies were incredibly tough, so these impacts didn't cause them any real harm.

  But for the militiamen on the walls, this was the st straw. The walls beh their feet began to shake violently uhe wolves' relentless assault.

  A few unfortunate men lost their band fell off the walls. They didn’t even have time to scream before they were caught mid-air by the leaping bck wolves, who tore them to pieces.

  Seeing this, the priestess's expression hardened. She gripped her staff tightly, her eyes flickering as she watched the horrific se unfold.

  When she saw the militiamen being torn apart, a determined look fshed in her eyes. She seemed to make a decision, clutg her staff to her chest.

  But just at that moment, a beam of holy white light suddenly desded from the sky.
