At this time, new monsters appeared on the flanks, and the knights and dwarves could not be distracted for the time being.
Oscar raised his sword high: "Ready! Fire glue throw!"
A large pile of fire glue streaked across the night sky. The militia had not received much training, so their throwing accuracy was much worse than that of the paladins, but it was still better than that of the dwarf war machines.
The fire glue in the glass bottle exploded, directly igniting the ground around the monster.
Oscar: "It works! See? Our weapons can deal with monsters! They just look scary!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three new monsters appeared and rushed towards the militia's line.
Oscar immediately ordered: "Spears! Past combat has shown that spears can restrain them! Trust in the usual training!"
The spear wall that the militia hastily put up was a little sparse, after all, the training time was indeed too short. The floating island had only been floating for a few months, how could the militia be trained to be the same as the regular army!
The first monster was stopped by the wall of spears, but the second one broke through it and slapped a militia soldier to death with one blow.
The morale of several militia soldiers collapsed instantly and they turned around and tried to run away.
Oscar brandished his sword: "Don't leave your post! Anyone who leaves his post without permission..."
The third monster rushed into the militia's formation and broke it up. The morale completely collapsed at this moment. The militia soldiers screamed and fled in all directions, knocking Oscar who tried to stop them to the ground.
But the array of lizardmen remained solid. After piercing the monster, they accurately threw out the fire glue, spreading the purifying flames on the monster.
More monsters appeared, Oscar got up and looked around, and found that the only one left was the young girl he had just helped.
"Why don't you run?"
Girl: "I think it doesn't matter where I run to. It might be safer here."
Oscar took a deep breath and said, "Follow me closely and give me the spear."
Then she took the spear from the girl and said to her, "I'll stab the monster, and you throw the red-hot glue. You only have one chance, so you must throw it accurately, otherwise we're doomed."
The girl nodded and took out the fire glue from her bag.
A new monster appeared, howling and rushing towards Oscar - no, it rushed towards the communication tent behind Oscar.
Oscar took a deep breath, pressed the butt of the spear against the floor tiles, and aimed the head at the oncoming monster.
The monster had no intelligence and ran straight into the spear.
The young girl yelled, "Hey!"
The Fiery Glue——fell at the monster’s feet!
A small piece of fire fell on the monster, causing it to howl.
The enraged monster swallowed most of the spear into its body in an instant, and rushed straight towards Oscar who was holding the spear, wanting to swallow Oscar in one bite!
At this moment, Kailin's holy light fell and burned half of the monster from behind.
The herald of Karin held the holy emblem high, standing in the square like an iron tower - like an iron pier!
Kailin's holy light radiated, burning the surrounding monsters as if it refused to lose to Typhon's light.
Flint's voice came: "Drink! Drink quickly! There is Kailin's blessing in the wine, so you are not afraid of the spores spread by these things! These things appeared one by one because wanderers came up and poisoned them. These monsters are all transformed by islanders!
"Drinking can cut off their source of troops!"
Kailin is surprisingly reliable at a time like this!
Oscar yelled, "Do you know where that wanderer is? We have to catch him!"
"Zhoer has already done it! I don't think he will live much longer! We just need to hold off the monster!"

In the corner of the battlefield, Marika looked at the familiar face and sneered: "I'm still wondering when I will meet you again, my dear sister. Or should I call you Madam now?"
Chapter 392 Drow
The drow woman in front of Marika smiled.
She had a face almost identical to Marika's: "My dear sister, it's been thirteen years and you haven't even thought of coming back to see me, your sister."
Marika: "My Lady Madam, you came to the battlefield in person just to reminisce with your rebellious sister? But even if you are a drow, you probably don't want to become a monster, right?"
"Of course not." The elder sister smiled, "But before the final stage, we can still gain a lot of benefits. The strongest forces of the good camp are all gathered together. As long as we inflict heavy damage on them, they will have much less power to use against us next time."
Marika: "My dear elder sister, am I also part of the good forces that you want to 'severely injure'?"
"My dear sister, you don't really think they will bypass their prejudice against your skin color and trust you? You don't really think you are one of them? You are different from the repentant Drizzt Do'Urden. Even after you surrender to Her Royal Highness the Princess, you are still an unforgivable villain."
Marika: "I know. And I have been acting as a necessary evil in the hands of His Highness."
"Then one day," the young drow matron said, "when they need to make themselves look great and glorious, they will throw you away like a rag."
Marika smiled. "You said it as if I wasn't thrown away like a rag by my people. Even if Your Highness really did that, it would be much better than you. So, sister, let all the assassination troops you brought show up. You couldn't beat me before. You don't really think that 'being close to kindness will make the blade dull'?"
As she spoke, she silently raised her hands holding the dagger.
Alana, the youngest matron who was caressing Brian, sneered: "Look at your kind teammates. They got so many equipments, but they didn't even give you a pair of good daggers."
"For things like daggers, it's better to keep them with you for a long time." Marika said with a smile, "Besides, when this crisis is over, this pair of daggers will become artifacts used by celebrities. I wonder what earth-shattering properties they will acquire."
Many pieces of equipment were originally ordinary when they were forged, but they became legendary weapons after being used by legendary figures and creating legendary deeds.
Many of those incredible properties were only granted after the weapons became part of the legend.
If a legendary hero picked up a branch and killed a lich that was causing trouble in a certain area, and punctured his life box, then the branch itself would become a legendary weapon.
Alana sneered, "It seems that those kind people have also influenced you, making you naive. You are no longer the 'Shadow Blade'. What remains here is just the broken shell of my sister."
Alana said as she drew out her dagger, in the same position as Marika: "It seems that today, the title of rubbing Brian's strongest blade will have to be changed."
Marika: "Are you someone who can fight so openly? No, sister, you are not. Let me guess what you are planning. The assassination team has already gone to capture Rosalie, right? As long as you lead me away from Rosalie, no one will be able to counter the shadow that is caressing Brian."
Alanna: "Even if you knew, what can you do? The monks have left the island, the archmage and the warlock princess are on the griffin with the king, the dwarves and the last knights on the island are dealing with the monsters created by the spores we planted, and the elven archers and barbarians are on the airship. No one can deal with us anymore."
Marika laughed: "You can't see it, so you naturally don't know that we have a guy here who is particularly good at dealing with evil creatures. He discovered you when you came to the island."
Alana frowned slightly, "We have done some counter-detection. All kinds of evil detection spells can't find us!"
Marika: "Unfortunately for our partner, she detects evil not through magic, but through her psychic powers. So the measures to counter the detection of 'magic' have no effect on her."
Franka floated out from behind Marika: "Hey, after I found out there was evil on the island, I sneaked back. It's really delicious. Unfortunately, I can't eat so many drow into fools at once because you are too evil. So I can only ask Marika to kill most of them."
Marika pointed at her sister and said, "You can eat this like a fool."
Franka fiddled with her tentacles, and her body turned black in rejection: "No, no! This guy is too evil, I got full after just a little suck. Do you think I didn't suck? I did, so I know their complete plan!"
Marika: "Tell me their evil plan."
"Oh, their plan is to capture Rosalie, brainwash her, and then release her. They have mastered a new brainwashing technique."
Marika frowned: "Could this new brainwashing technology be obtained from the Catalan Church?"
Alana: "So what? This technique is very useful. It greatly increases the family's power in rubbing Brian."
“Stupid.” Marika shook her head. “You probably don’t realize that you are the poor person being controlled by the state religion.”
"I won't be controlled by such petty tricks!" Alana said angrily.
"It was only after I left the society of the drow that I realized how arrogant, ignorant and ridiculous my people were." Marika looked at her sister with pity. "Evil creatures are necessarily arrogant, so they can never defeat the good camp. Sister, have you ever thought that the reason why virtues are virtues is that they are very useful and have practical benefits in enhancing strength?"
"What nonsense!"
Marika ignored her sister's reaction and continued, "Let's talk about humility. The evil drow never know what humility is and look down on humility. The drow are always flamboyant and boast about their strength everywhere.
"However, humility has its advantages. A humble person will let the enemy underestimate him, while at the same time he will never underestimate the enemy and will always give the enemy a lenient view. So in the end, when the strengths are similar, the humble person will always win."
Alana: "You also say that when the strength is similar! As long as the strength is overwhelming, humility is useless!"
"But how can you guarantee that you can crush me every time? No, you can't. Just like now, you come here with arrogance, you must look down on me and the flying jellyfish next to me.
“After all, Furu is just an insignificant kind creature in the Underdark, and cannot pose any threat to the powerful and arrogant drow elves.
"But my sister, look at your expression now. Although you are still my evil sister, your expression has softened, sister."
Alana was shocked and stroked her cheek with her hand: "How could it be..."
It was during this moment of distraction that Marika rushed to her and cut off the tendons of both her hands with a knife.
Marika: "Sister, have you forgotten that I am still a cunning and evil drow?"
Chapter 393: Drow Family Ties
Franca shuddered, "Ohhhh, Marika suddenly became so evil! I want to take a bite!"
"Not now!" Marika yelled, "I need to be evil now! You can do whatever you want when this is over!"
"Oh." Franka's color changed and turned into a happy pink again. "Then I am your sister. Ammm..."
Alana's expression was visibly girlish: "No! Don't consume my evil!"
Marika: "You should worry more about your life. After all, once Franka finds out all your evil plans, you will be useless, dear sister."
Alana: “You…”
Marica: "The way to counter Franca's 'eating' is very simple, just become a kind person, then she won't be able to eat you. If you don't want to reveal the secret, just become a kind person, my dear sister."
The mistress of a drow family must have as many secrets in her head as a mountain. If Furu were to eat them all, there would definitely be a major earthquake in the city of Mosabrian.
At the very least, the family that Marika once belonged to will have to give up all its power, and if things go wrong, the entire family may never recover.
Alana: "Do you know that this will bring disaster to the whole family?"
"But I have been exiled by my family. In fact, according to the nature of the drow elves, I hope that all of you will die. Are you going to talk to me about family love now, my dear sister?"
Franca: "Wait a minute, I got some very interesting information. The cult actually wants to destroy the entire Isonzo. The capture of all the Monrovians and Kusanyans in Isonzo was just a show. In fact, they turned Isonzo into a complete and utter country of monsters."
Marica: "Is that so? But that's not right. If it becomes a country of monsters, the Masunya River, the main artery of shipping on this continent, will be destroyed. Catalonia will also suffer greatly from it!"
"The world is about to end," Alana sneered, "What's the point of shipping?"
Marica: "Isn't that right? The reason why the cult became the state religion of Catalonia is because it pretends to be doing good for Catalonia, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, holy light suddenly lit up on the other side of the floating island.
Marika glanced over there and said, "This holy light... could it be that our paladin has returned?"
"Our paladin" refers to the king, who is now the only paladin in the team.
