They didn't expect that someone would come to pick peaches at this time.

I had originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the Holy Dynasty together, but I was taken advantage of by others instead.

This made the candidates who were chosen to be gods feel very depressed.

However, no matter how frustrated they were, they had no other options now. They only had two choices: either die under the fire giant or...

Or go back and fight the Crucible Knight.

The candidates all understood this truth, and they looked at each other, then decisively chose the last option, turned back, and fought with the Crucible Knight.

Chapter 397 The Fire Giant Attacks, Esti Arrives!

At this time, the Crucible Knights were clearing out the soldiers who were abandoned by the coalition forces. They chased them until they were ten kilometers away from the royal city, and then they quickly stopped.

Holding a greatsword in one hand and a shield in the other, a Furnace Knight who was charging at the front raised the greatsword in his hand and shouted loudly.

"stop--!"

As he spoke, all the Crucible Knights stopped and did not continue attacking.

"Don't chase after a desperate enemy! Retreat back to the royal city. Defending the royal city is the most important thing!"

The person who commanded this group of Crucible Knights was Otaubis, one of the chief Crucible Knights.

He is the commander of the Sword and Shield Knights in the Crucible Knights Legion.

As Otapis spoke, Silia, one of the chiefs of the Lance Knights, who was also commanding a huge spear, issued the same order.

"Otaubes, are you worried about an ambush?"

Silia came to Otopis and asked for his opinion.

Otaubis nodded his axe-shaped helmet slightly, and then replied: "Yes, more importantly, we have not received the order to annihilate all the enemies."

"Protecting the royal city is the most important task."

Upon hearing this, Siluria agreed.

"It's a pity that we were not able to annihilate all the enemies."

"But right now, the defense of the royal city is more important!"

Siluria felt a little regretful that 803 was not able to leave all the enemies alive.

After all, this was the first battle of their Crucible Knights since their establishment.

We must at least show some of the style of the Holy Dynasty so that the people in the border areas can know the strength of this elite army under the command of the great almighty king.

"Do not worry!"

"As long as His Majesty the Great and Almighty King receives this news, their death will not be far away!"

"Anyone who dares to offend the dynasty will be severely punished!"

Otopis patted Silia's shoulder, and the metal armor made a series of crackling sounds when they collided.

Then the two of them waved their hands and planned to turn around and return to the royal city.

However, at this moment, there was suddenly a sound of hurried running in the distance.

The two of them instantly became alert.

"alert!"

"Beware of enemy attacks!"

After the warnings and orders were issued, the nerves of the Crucible Knights, which had originally relaxed, instantly tensed up.

They concentrated their minds, stared around, and were ready for enemy attacks at any time.

Otobis bent down, put his hands on the ground, felt the violent vibration of the ground, and looked a little surprised.

"Someone big is coming!"

"And judging from the sounds, there seem to be quite a few of them!"

Otobis's eyes became a little serious, and he couldn't help but tighten his sword and shield in his hands.

Upon hearing this, Siluria asked softly:

"Is it the enemy who just escaped?"

"Not necessarily, but the fleeing enemy troops are likely among them."

"Because there was also the sound of hurried horse hooves."

Otobis pondered for a moment and then expressed his guess.

"Since there are big guys here, wouldn't it be better to retreat back to the area of ​​the city wall?"

"Yes, if we use the Holy Crossbow, we won't be afraid of even the big guys!"

Silia made a suggestion to Otobis, and Otobis agreed decisively.

Soon, the two of them quickly commanded their respective legions to retreat towards the walls of the royal city.

Five minutes later, the Crucible Knights, who were leaning against the city wall, saw the army approaching from a distance.

After seeing these familiar armies, a slight sneer appeared under Otobis's helmet.

Sure enough, his guess was correct, these enemy troops did come back.

Unlike Ortopis, Silurus's helmet has tree branch-like decorations.

Under the mask, Siluria's expression froze as he saw the huge figures behind the enemy army becoming increasingly clear.

Soon, he recognized what the so-called big guy was.

"Fire Giant?"

"Why are they here? Are they teaming up with this group of people?"

Silia looked a little confused. Did he remember that these fire giants were very arrogant?

No matter what race you are, you will not be taken seriously.

It would be even more difficult to form an alliance with the other party.

But today, seeing so many giants following behind this group of enemy troops, it was hard not to make him wonder whether these fire giants had changed their nature.

"No, look carefully, those fire giants have already trampled many enemy soldiers to death."

"It's clear that these giants are driving them away."

"So, I think these giants want to use these people to fight us to the death."

Otobis shook his head and pointed in the direction of the left and right wings.

Siluria looked in the direction he was looking and saw that some enemy soldiers on both wings were trying to escape to the sides, but they were all killed by the giants.

Obviously, if they were allies, this situation would not have happened.

The current situation is most likely what Otobis guessed.

"Humph! These fire giants are really calculating!"

Silia tightened the spear in his hand and stared at the giants.

Now, these giants are their real rivals.

After all, the opponent's size is there, and he can crush a lot of them to death just by pressing them down.

Of course, if there are only one or two giants, that would be fine, and their Knights of the Crucible can deal with it.

But the number of giants here is far more than fifty.

This is no longer a situation they can handle.

Otobis had thought of this long ago. He turned around and shouted to the big tree guard on the top of the city wall gate.

"Use the Holy Crossbow! Quick! We must stop these giants!"

The tree guards on the city wall had already noticed the situation here, so the holy crossbow mechanism had been loaded and was waiting to be fired when it entered the range.

"Holy Crossbow No. 1, aim at the giant on the left!"

"Holy Crossbow No. 2, aim at the right giant!"

"..."

At this moment, both the Furnace Knights and the Tree Guards were on high alert and would not allow any mistakes to occur.

At this time, Marika was in another dimensional space high in the sky.

She had been paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield, whether it was the fire giants forcing the enemy to flee, or the Queen of the Night Eyes ambushing and killing Erzhi; all these things fell into her eyes.

Faced with the attack of so many giants, she knew that the current Crucible Knights were unable to resist.

So she stretched out her hand and tapped the air lightly, then whispered: "It's time for you to come out and contribute to the dynasty!"

"After all, you have oppressed my people for so many years. It is time to atone for your sins!"

As Marika's voice fell, a hole suddenly appeared in the sky near the royal city outside, and a space crack like an abyss appeared in front of everyone.

Faced with the sudden changes, the enemy troops and the fire giants stopped and looked at the crack vigilantly.

Then, a strange cry came from the crack, giving everyone goose bumps.

Then a huge figure slowly flew out of the crack and landed in front of the royal city.

Everyone saw the appearance of the huge monster clearly. It had two pairs of colorful wings as thin as cicada wings, an insect-like body, six bony legs, and a human-shaped face with two huge black teeth on the front.

It looks so strange and scary that people dare not even look at it for a second.

Such a horrifying monster was what Marika took as a slave from the Eternal City.

It has a name that makes all rare people fear and anger, and makes all creatures in the border area afraid of it - Dark Abandoned Child Esti!

Chapter 398 The Terrifying Esti

When Esti appeared on the battlefield, everyone was frightened by its terrifying appearance.

Facing the monster before them was like looking fear in the face, like facing an ancient god.

All the candidates for the God-man position were now filled with astonishment and cried out in surprise.

"What is that?~! What a horrible monster!"

"This size is almost as big as the four-headed fire giant!"

"The wings are like those of a dragonfly. It's rare - is it a large dragonfly?"

"I know! This is the legendary dark abandoned child Esti who was sent to the border by the Supreme Will and caused the Eternal City in the past to fall into the ground!!!"

"Hiss! It's that star alien?!"

"Is it possible that the envoy of God has been sent to help us? That's great! The envoy of God has not abandoned us, but has gone to get help!"

Everyone started discussing what the monster in front of them was, and soon some knowledgeable people recognized Esti.

And when they heard that the monster was something that originated from the Supreme Will, they thought that it was sent by the Second Commander to rescue them.

In an instant, the expressions of this group of candidates changed from fear to joy.

In their opinion, as long as they have the help of this terrifying creature, neither the royal city in front nor the fire giant behind will pose a threat to them.

They are fully confident of winning this war!

Soon, the confidence that had collapsed in my heart was instantly restored.

On the side of the fire giants, a group of giants roared at Esti.

As a race that has existed in the social area for such a long time, they naturally recognized this monster from the sky that once sank a city into the ground.

And he also knew that the other party was the object of the Supreme Will.

The fire giants are hostile to all beliefs other than their gods, so naturally they would not treat Esti well.

The fire giants were well prepared to fight against Esti.

As for Morgan, the chief of the tree guards on the city wall, and the two chiefs of the Furnace Knights, they were also looking at Esti who had rushed into the battlefield with a vigilant look on their faces.

They had no idea whether the monster in front of them was a friend or an enemy.
