Chapter 192: Running out of ammunition
In order to resist the attack of the Freemasons, the Illuminati apprentices in the cave could only continue to consume the second-class light therapy scrolls in their hands.
Later, as the temporary vice-president of the Illuminati appointed by Yi Hua and responsible for leading the apprentices in the cave, Gabriel realized the shortage of second-class light therapy scrolls.
So in order to preserve his strength and delay it as long as possible, he ordered that the second-class light therapy scrolls be given priority to the more powerful second-class apprentices.
This has also led to the fact that most of the remaining seriously injured apprentices are first-class apprentices. The second-class apprentices are healed by the second-class light therapy scrolls that Gabriel has recovered. Most of their injuries are minor and they still retain high combat effectiveness.
Not long after, Gabriel, who was meditating, felt the restored magic power and slowly opened his eyes.
Not far away, a second-class apprentice with a bandaged arm saw Gabriel opening his eyes and stepped forward with a worried look on his face.
"Provisional Vice President Gabriel, we don't have many light therapy scrolls in our hands. There are less than ten left. According to the speed of our injuries, we can only deal with one more Masonic attack at most, and then there will be no more scrolls available. !"
Upon hearing the words of this second-class apprentice of the Illuminati, Gabriel frowned.
He subconsciously looked into the cave and saw the other thirty or so second-class Illuminati apprentices. When he saw that most of the apprentices were still awake, they all turned their eyes to him, with expectations in their eyes.
Gabriel had mixed feelings in his heart. After a brief thought, he deliberately showed a relaxed smile and said casually:
"I have just received a contact from Levi. The Vice President is leading a large number of Illuminati apprentices. Come rescue us and keep holding on! Maybe we won’t even be able to use up the remaining light therapy scrolls and we can leave the cave!”
After hearing Gabriel’s words, most of the dozens of surviving Illuminati apprentices present revealed their faces. A look of surprise.
"Great, we are saved!"
"With the help of the Vice President's undead army and our internal and external cooperation, we will definitely be able to annihilate the large number of elite Freemasons outside the cave!"
Those who went out were attacked by the Freemasons. The kidnapping resulted in dozens of brothers in the guild, as well as the temporary vice-president Gabriel, a second-class apprentice who put themselves in danger in order to save them.
After hearing the news from Gabriel that Vice President Yi Hua was about to arrive, the guilt in his heart was slightly reduced, and his loyalty to the Illuminati and Yi Hua increased a bit.
Seeing that the atmosphere around him suddenly became much more relaxed, Gabriel also forced a smile.
In fact, contrary to what he said, Gabriel had no means of contacting Levi from a distance. Even now, Gabriel did not dare to guarantee whether Levi would survive.
The purpose of saying this is just to appease the remaining Illuminati apprentices in the cave and give them hope of living.
If he tells the truth, these Illuminati apprentices will most likely give up on themselves and fall into complete despair.
Hearing the cheers of the apprentices around him, Gabriel's thoughts drifted away, and he subconsciously recalled the moment when he learned that several Illuminati apprentices had been kidnapped by the Freemasons.
While Yihua was in seclusion and allowed to temporarily take charge of the Illuminati.
If the information is deliberately released in the Freemasons, members of the Illuminati will all learn that the apprentices of the same organization were kidnapped by the Freemasons.
He chose not to save those second-class apprentices in the guild and let them die in this deserted cave in the wilderness. What would be the result?
In his conjecture, this move would inevitably lead to the death of several second-class apprentices who were kidnapped and extremely loyal to the Illuminati.
After all, when he came to the rescue in time, those apprentices had already been pulled out nails, chopped off fingers and tortured by the Freemasons until they were dying.
Then the Freemasons would spread the word that the Illuminati allowed apprentices who were extremely loyal to the organization to die and did nothing.
This behavior will most likely lead to other apprentices in the academy becoming more dissatisfied with the Illuminati.
At the same time, due to the suppression of the Freemasons and the indifference of the Illuminati's top management, the Illuminati became centrifugal. Apprentices who had already joined the Illuminati had a greatly reduced sense of belonging to the Illuminati, and began to withdraw from the Illuminati on a large scale.
All of the above are based on the Illuminati's interest analysis.
If interests are put aside, the most important thing for Gabriel is his own personal safety. Fearing the enemy's provocation, abandoning his capable subordinates is completely in conflict with his current behavior and his own philosophy!
Judging from Yihua's original choice to save him, deciding whether to join the Illuminati based on good and evil, and making a stipulation that the second-class light therapy scroll can be exchanged for illusory merit values, it is almost a charitable act.
In Gabriel's view, if Yihua was present, there is a high probability that he would not give up the rescue of several loyal Illuminati apprentices out of concerns about possible dangers.
Although the Illuminati is now damaged, seeing the successful rescue of the second-class apprentices in front of me, and hearing the news that Gabriel said that Yihua came to the rescue, the cohesion of the Illuminati apprentices has greatly increased. .
Gabriel did not have the slightest regret for his actions in rescuing the second-class Illuminati apprentices who were kidnapped by the Freemasons.
He didn't know when Yihua would show up in seclusion, but the apprentices who were caught by the Freemasons at that time had no time to wait for Yihua to show up.
If Gabriel really had to wait until Yi Hua showed up, those second-class Illuminati apprentices would most likely have died without a burial place.
Suddenly, I don't know if it was the Masonic apprentices outside the cave who had finished repairing, or they heard the sound coming from the cave.
A blast nearly two meters long, with terrifying power, set off waves of heat, and the flame-burning wind blade shot into the cave at an astonishing speed.
With the physique of a top knight, Gabriel heard the sound coming from dozens of meters outside the cave just as the wind blade condensed.
Seeing this seemingly powerful second-level witchcraft coming at him, Gabriel felt cold in his heart. He instantly pulled out the long sword at his waist and rushed forward to meet it.
boom!
The flaming wind blade instantly hit Gabriel's sword edge, and then exploded.
Feeling the huge impact of the wind blade explosion, Gabriel couldn't help but take a few steps back even though he had a strong physique at the level of a great knight.
At the same time, most of the scattered flames contaminated Gabriel's body surface, burning a large area of white light on the life armor produced by activating the Holy Light Bead.
The remaining small portion of the orange-red flame splashed onto the rock walls and ground of the surrounding caves, continuing to burn on the soil and rocks.
Unlike ordinary flames, witchcraft flames created by magic have extraordinary properties far beyond those of ordinary fire.
Not to mention rocks, even if they fall on water or even ice, they can still continue to burn.
Some of the flames created by witchcraft are even poisonous!
By the time the power of the witchcraft flame was exhausted, the surrounding rocks on the ground had been burned red, as hot as a frying pan.
Seeing that due to his own resistance, the Illuminati apprentice behind him was not affected by this second-class witchcraft, Gabriel felt a little relieved.
The next moment, he felt that there was not much life energy left in his body due to resisting this second-class witchcraft. He immediately mobilized the magic power in the Holy Light Pearl and cast the Holy Light Technique to replenish the consumption of the life armor.
After the life energy in his body was completely restored, Gabriel checked the remaining magic power in the Holy Light Bead and suddenly frowned.
"Trouble, there is not much magic power left in the Holy Light Bead."
Due to the previous high-intensity battle, and in order to protect the other Illuminati apprentices, during the battle with dozens of Masonic apprentices outside the cave, Gabriel He withstood a large number of witchcraft attacks.
Even with the reserve of the third-level magic crystal of Holy Light, the remaining magic power is about to be exhausted at this moment.
In fact, if he relied on the remaining magic power in the Holy Light Bead to escape with all his strength at this moment, the Freemasonry outside the cave might not be able to keep him.
But if he did this, the dozens of Illuminati apprentices who were injured in the cave would definitely be in danger.
However, once the magic power of the Holy Light Bead is exhausted, he will completely lose the chance to escape alone.
For an ordinary apprentice, at this critical moment when the apprenticeship exam is about to begin, in order to save his life, he would rather hide outside for a while than escape from this place.
But the Holy Light Bead was given by Yihua, and Yihua saved his life. Without too much hesitation, Gabriel decisively gave up the opportunity to escape alone, choosing to use the remaining magic power in the Holy Light Bead to protect him. Illuminati apprentice.
Due to his previous combat experience, Gabriel knew that this attack was not a new round of offensive by the Freemasons, but a negotiation signal given by the Masonic apprentices outside the cave.
So he kicked off his legs and rushed out of the cave in just two or three seconds.
Outside the cave is an open space with simple wooden horses and a large number of bunkers constructed through witchcraft. In the distance is a large lush forest.
At this moment, there are dozens of first- and second-class Masonic apprentices with minor or serious injuries, spread out over an area of nearly a thousand square meters. There are still a lot of dried blood on the ground, as well as the bodies of Masonic apprentices.
Seeing Gabriel leaving the cave and taking charge of leading this operation, he had ridiculed Yi Hua in the previous competition, and Yi Hua fought back, and was eventually fined 100 witch crystals by the law enforcement apprentice. Jess, the temporary vice president of the Freemasonry, sneered, He said mockingly:
"Haha, Gabriel, you'd better stop struggling. If you catch him early, you can save yourself the pain. After all, Lord Melkor will arrive here soon, and your death is already doomed!
" Gabriel was tired of hearing Si's taunts and didn't react much.
It was the news that "Melkor is about to arrive" from Jace's mouth made Gabriel's pupils shrink, not knowing whether it was true or not.
If Melkor really arrives here, even if they have the Holy Light Orb, Gabriel and the Illuminati apprentices will not be able to escape the fate of death!
Although he was frightened and confused in his heart, he could not show any timidity on the surface. On the one hand, for the sake of clichés, and on the other hand, to scare the other party, Gabriel showed a calm look on his face and deliberately deceived: "I don't know who your Guild Melkor is
. Can we arrive in time? The vice-president of our Illuminati has already set off. He is not far from here now. He will arrive soon to destroy you!"
