The portal opened, and Karl’s group followed the pair of Wrath Demon Paladins through.
That was a strange thing to think, much less hear someone say out loud. However, they really were Paladins by class, even if their skills seemed to lean heavily toward fire and destruction.
It must be a peculiarity of the local System, the species couldn’t get the class at all on Karl’s home world.
"Stay behind us while we greet them. Once we have joined the fight, you join as well. It’s a formality to keep the Elders from getting involved. If they know that we’re part of the same group, they have no business stopping us."
Running through the woods with Hawk on his shoulder and Cara right behind him, Karl shifted left of the group, while Dana moved right.
That put them in a fan shaped position behind the enemies, who were surrounding Alisha, the half Elemental Berserker, and Jin, who looked much worse for wear.
"Just turn it over and we let you live. Don’t be stupid, it’s too valuable to be lost entirely." The man was demanding.
Jin smiled at him. "I will scour it in the holy fire of the afterlife before I hand it over."
"As you wish."
That was the Paladin’s cue, and the two Demons roared, while Karl and Dana both called for support.
Karl called Dark Elven High Priestesses as his Epic Golems, while Dana called Dark Elven Kings, who were fighters instead of healers.
Then, Karl and Rae both called on Spectral Knights, and a small army of Skeleton Warriors for backup using [Undead Minions]. Karl had to try not to laugh as he realized that all his skeleton warriors were skeletal hounds with metal teeth.
That wasn’t a normal use of the spell, he assumed. But he also hadn’t specified.
"You think that you can rescue your friends from us? Well, then you can die with them." The arrogant young man in vibrant yellow robes declared with a grand gesture for his underlings to attack.
There were fifty of them, to the two surviving members of the other group, and the six members of the rescue team.
The Elder must have had great confidence in the Paladins.
Or, he didn’t realize that nearly everyone in the other group was dead already. That seemed more likely.
Karl sent the Priestesses to bring back who they could with a [Mass Resurrection] spell, and some healing. That was the primary reason for the choice.
That, and the fact that they got along well with Rae’s spider golems, who leapt over the battle with the Priestesses on their back to deliver them to the necessary location.
A large group of agile Immortals wielding short twin blades came for Karl, giving him only a split second to see their interface.
All the names were yellow, so Rogue type classes, he assumed.
That he could deal with.
