"Ah." A human's sudden scream came from not far away. This voice immediately interrupted Raphael's contemplation, because it recognized that the owner of this voice was none other than one of his soul-devouring killers, Raphael. I looked up towards the source of the sound. Under the dim light of the fire, a man in black clothes fell from the roof.
Raphael raised his eyebrows. He only needed to see the general direction to understand that it was definitely the secret sentry he had arranged in advance. However, the soul-eating killer originally used to cause riots and assassinations was killed by others. This made Raphael I was a little surprised. Although most of his elite men were transferred by Senat, the spies he arranged in the city tonight were still strictly trained by him. Normally, ordinary soldiers or mercenaries could not be their opponents. ,
"Who is it?" As soon as this thought entered Raphael's mind, he saw a familiar figure. Looking out from the window where he was, he saw a figure at the intersection about a street away. A young man wearing a magician's robe appeared in his field of vision.
"Damn it, it's Ryan, I knew it." Raphael saw the boy in front of him and immediately understood where the ominous premonition in his heart came from. At this moment, a man dressed as a mercenary fell from the street. He stood up next to the body of the Soul-eating Killer and shouted something loudly towards the magician. Because the distance was a bit far and the sound in the city was relatively noisy at this time, Raphael could not quite understand the content of the shouting, but It's nothing more than words like one of his men is dead,
Colin stood on the roof and shouted to Ryan in the center of the street below: "This is the second one." Colin's tone had a hint of arrogance, because on the roof across the street, Thomas didn't even get one.
Ryan didn't speak, but just waved his hand, signaling Colin to continue moving forward. Colin turned his head, and the short bow in his hand drooped slightly, letting the arrow on the bow string point towards the ground. With Colin's archery skills, in the short Within the distance, he doesn't need to specifically aim at all. He just needs to pull the bow string hard against the target and then release it, and it will be enough to hit the target.
The five mercenaries under Oz who followed Colin looked at Colin's back with an expression of admiration. Colin, who had no outstanding appearance, was comparable to a nimble clouded leopard. The two killers just now were hidden behind In the darkness, Colin was completely able to shoot the feather arrow in his hand before they launched the attack. This was something that none of the mercenaries present could not do. They all knew that if their opponents were to take action first, they might be in trouble. There will be casualties. It can be said that Colin saved them twice.
Under the leadership of Colin, these mercenaries were also vigilant in searching ahead. However, they had only received training from Oz on warriors. For this kind of scout-like mission, the only thing they could rely on was their own. He's quite flexible, I guess.
Oz strode to the front of the queue holding two steel axes. Beside him, two mercenaries holding round shields quickly chased after him. Their mission was to protect the safety of captain Oz. The shield blocks threats from any direction.
Although there were only two streets from Oz's residence to the city gate area, Ryan still put on a marching posture, with manpower arranged at the front, back and left of the entire queue, so as to avoid being hidden in the darkness. When the enemy sneaks up on you, you will be caught off guard.
Of course, Ryan and the others did not know exactly where the agents that Raphael arranged in Seawind City were distributed, nor did they know how many enemies there were. In fact, Raphael's manpower was limited, and they had to cover the entire Seawind City. Therefore, it is impossible to carry out a large-scale sneak attack on Ryan and his party. After Colin killed the two killers, there was basically only Raphael left half a street away, and the latter would not do it anyway. He takes the initiative and values his life more than anything else.
After experiencing two episodes, Ryan and his party arrived at the city gate area. Due to the fires in the city, the morale of the Seawind City soldiers who tried to retake the city gate was greatly reduced. Almost all their families lived in the city. In order to protect this city The city can definitely fight bloody battles with the enemy, but on the other hand, once the city falls, they will lose their fighting power because they care about their families.
It is for this reason that the Seawind City army, which was almost six times more numerous than its opponents, was unable to break through the defense line set up by the Lightning Mercenary Group. When Andy, the leader of the Lightning Mercenary Group, was ordered to sneak attack the gate of Seawind City, He had already considered a stalemate, and the response he had thought of in advance was to prepare a large number of bows and arrows, use the carriage as a cover to kill Seawind City soldiers from a distance, and delay the arrival of his large troops.
The Lightning Mercenary Group got its name because more than half of its members are proficient in archery. In fact, Andy was an archer captain under Senat. He was originally ordered to carry his own archers. Together with some other personnel from Senat, a lightning mercenary group was formed.
Under the precise archery skills of the Lightning Mercenary Group, the soldiers of Seawind City suffered heavy losses. These soldiers originally slept well, but they got up in a hurry to fight. Not only did they not bring all the necessary weapons and equipment, many of them even Even the clothes, shoes and socks were not neatly dressed. Fortunately, it was only early autumn and the temperature was not too cold. Otherwise, their non-combat attrition would have been a huge number.
When Oz walked less than ten meters away from the Seawind City officer who was responsible for commanding the counterattack, the other party discovered that there were more than thirty mercenaries behind him. This also made Oz shake his head in his heart. If He and his party have bad intentions, and I'm afraid these people will be killed before they figure out what's going on.
"Who is it?" Several guards around the officer pulled out their swords with a "swish" sound, and Oz immediately stood still and said loudly: "Please don't get me wrong, I am a Gale mercenary. The captain of the Oz team to which the regiment belongs..."
Before Oz could finish introducing himself, he heard a surprised voice from the other side shout out: "Ozzy."
Oz looked intently and saw a familiar face among the soldiers opposite him. He was immediately overjoyed because he no longer had to waste time explaining his identity to others. He quickly shouted: "It's you, Beavis." .”
The man named Beavis looked at Oz in surprise and said repeatedly: "Ozzy, it's so good to see you. Why are you here?"
Before Oz could answer, the commander of the army asked, "Bevis, do you know this man?"
"Yes, sir." Beavis said loudly: "He has been my neighbor since he was a child. Later he went out to take risks and became a mercenary."
"Is it reliable?" the army commander lowered his voice and asked,
"Sir." Bivis hurriedly took a few steps forward and whispered in his commander's ear: "Except for the fact that he has been to the Imperial City once to participate in the Royal Athletic Competition, he is basically near Seawind City, so there should be nothing wrong with him. Let’s talk about the problem.” At this point, Beavis paused for a moment, organized the words in his mind, and continued: “If they really have any problems, then they were less than ten meters away from us just now...”
Bivis's words shocked the commander, but he immediately understood what his subordinate meant. Indeed, if Oz really had a problem, there was no need to say anything just now. He would just rush forward and slash at him, which was enough to make the unwary His group was severely damaged, and... The commander looked up and looked behind Oz. Ryan and Faras, who were wearing magician robes, looked particularly eye-catching. It was obvious that this power was enough to destroy the command of his own army. It’s systematic,
"Very good, oh... oh..."
"It's Oz." Beavis quickly reminded his commander,
"Well, Mr. Oz." The commander calmed down and continued: "Thank you very much to you and your teammates. Now we need the power of your two magicians. I hope you..."
"No problem." Oz immediately replied: "We will do our best."
Ryan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the commander in front of him would immediately think of using his magical power to break through the opponent's defense. However, this was an extremely correct choice. In the short time that Oz and the other party were talking, , Ryan had already observed the situation on the battle line at close range. For those shooters with accurate archery skills who relied on the carriages on the other side, if they could not use trebuchets or ballistas, then using a team of giant shield warriors could also greatly protect them. Those arrows flying in the air, but it is obvious that the Sea Wind City army in front of them is not equipped with these, so letting the magician take action is the only and fastest way.
"Please mobilize an elite team to follow us. Their mission is to occupy the enemy's existing position." Ryan walked up to the commander in a few steps and said calmly: "Magic can destroy the enemy's body, but You have to rely on infantry to occupy the position.”
The commander was stunned. He did not expect that Ryan would actually say the famous sayings of Fernando I, which he only learned when he was undergoing non-commissioned officer training at the Royal Military Academy. However, after experiencing this short period After being stunned, the commander immediately gave an order to his guard Bevis: "Go and select 50 people to cooperate with them in fighting."
Ryan didn't care about this at all. The number of enemies in front of him was far smaller than his own, but they relied on the carriage fortifications to fight to the death. There was only one possibility, that is, they were all stalling for time. There was no doubt that the real battle It hasn't started yet,
Ryan slowly walked towards the area where the two sides were fighting. He had already blessed himself with the "Stoneskin Technique" before, and now he had added a "Mirror Image Technique" to himself. When he saw seven identical Ryans walking around In front of his eyes, the commander of Seawind City immediately felt relieved. With such a magician to help him, he should be able to take back the city gate.
