Several "Viper Cross" killers who were closer didn't understand what happened at this moment at all—they just saw Gallup suddenly pounced forward, hitting his head on the "Shadow Guardian" who was too late to follow. The inside of the shield, and then the whole body bounced back, and fell to the ground without a sound...
In such a picture, the blood splashed out like a fountain directly stained the entire "Shadow Shield" red, and then it was sprinkled on the ground because of the disappearance of the shield.
After turning their eyes to the ground, the people around discovered an astonishing fact: "Snake Tooth" Gallup, who was grinning grinningly a few seconds ago, had a hole in his chest—his heart disappeared completely. At that time, he could even directly see the blood-soaked ground through his chest.
Gallup died without warning, and most people didn't even see what was attacking him.
At the same moment, the "Shadow Guard" who had already slashed down with the scimitar just lost his shape at this moment because of Gallup's death—the shadow blade slashed across the bodies of Rubens and Benjamin, but failed to attack the two. old man causing any damage...
Because of the death of the spellcaster, they immediately lost their original attack power, and turned into black mist in the next two seconds...
The battlefield situation began to reverse in an instant.
Sitting on the ground, Rubens was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up, rolling and crawling, and cast several "sacred shields" with the scepter in his hand at the guards who were trying to get close, and shouted hoarsely: "Come around!" fight back"
Stunned and stable, Benjamin immediately threw out three or four "recovery spells", and looked at the long arrow that fell not far from his feet in surprise...
The crimson feathers, the calibrated and polished arrow body, although the arrowhead has disappeared, but Benjamin still recognized at a glance that it was an arrow that would only be sold by the "Rose Cross"
Something seemed to come to his mind, but he couldn't connect the information due to the chaotic situation in front of him. The magic spell was desperately released, and Benjamin tried his best to restore more soldiers' physical strength and injuries. A lot of wounded bald-headed men roared in grief and anger. They stepped over Gallup's body and were about to rush towards this side, but just after taking two steps, a loud shout not far away made him turn his head abruptly. …
"die"
A simple and decisive word, and what appeared with it was a short spear that was thrown out.
The bald man turned his head and found the short spear, and immediately blocked it with his fist. The "Gladiator"'s fist is not inferior to any weapon, so at this time he is confident that he can directly knock the short spear away... But the actual result is far beyond His imagination—although the fist hit the short spear and sent it flying, but his body lost its center of gravity directly due to a huge recoil force
He raised his head in astonishment and looked into the distance, trying to find who threw the short spear, but he didn't know that a black shadow had already shot towards him...
"puff"
The short spear directly pierced through his chest with a body weighing more than two hundred kilograms, and the terrifying force brought his whole body back three or four steps.
And when his face was full of disbelief and his body hadn't fallen down, the third short spear precisely pierced his neck and shattered his spine, killing his body before he fell
When the strong man was instantly killed by three strikes, Benjamin was strangely aware that those heretics who were attacking madly beside him rolled silently to the ground one by one. When he looked carefully, he found that their hearts were all shot by arrows. The arrow pierced through it... and just as he looked up to find the shooter's position, an arrow flew past him, killing a heretic and making Benjamin break out in a cold sweat...
"This archery..."
His whisper was interrupted by horseshoes, and when he turned his head to look, a group of cavalry had already broken through the crowded wall and rushed towards this place. The knight in the front was dressed in silver armor and carried a rucksack with short spears on his back. , the eyes under the helmet are calm and sharp, holding a metal three-edged lance with an astonishing weight, and when he rides his horse to charge, he has the powerful momentum of "one rider is worth a thousand".
The rare warhorse, which is one size larger than ordinary military horses, rushed nearly 100 meters in the blink of an eye, and the heavy lance threw out phantoms one after another. Flying out, the head and chest burst open under the heavy blow...
Followed by this knight are all retinues and infantry, one by one extremely powerful, the pagans in the entire square immediately began to be "crushed" in various ways, and as the four late Templar teams poured into the square, " The defeat of Viper Cross is irreversible.
But at this time, the sound of fighting in another part of the square immediately caught Benjamin's attention. He turned his head, saw Sally hiding behind the mercenary, and immediately waved his finger and said loudly: "Go and stop them!" stop those assassins"
More than a dozen temple guards rushed towards Sally's team, followed by a group of templar knights - this momentum immediately made the mercenary who assassinated Sally uncomfortable, but it made Francis, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, lose his mind. Best Sneak Chance
He stopped angrily, his face was extremely pale-up to now, he still didn't know why such a situation happened...Why did that seemingly powerful shadow priest die so well? Why did the "Rose Cross" come to help Sally at this time
Francis would never have imagined that it was just a "bursting arrow" that destroyed all his plans.
However, the battle did not end there. Sally, who was besieged by mercenaries, was constantly retreating. She had been waiting for the temple like this for a long time, but after looking at the crazy and ferocious Francis, she remembered Rody and The words she said—the dice at her fingertips were suddenly clenched. She gritted her teeth and made a decision in her heart. She immediately turned around and jumped into the carriage brought by the mercenaries in disguise, and shouted: "Get out of here and go to the west gate. "
Francis, who had almost given up on the assassination, clearly heard her order, immediately raised his eyebrows, turned his head and whispered to his subordinates: "Prepare the horses for me immediately, and bring more people to the west gate."
After saying this, he turned and shouted loudly to the group of mercenaries he had hired to kill Sally: "How dare you scumbags besiege Sally to die?"
During the explosion of the fireball, Francis turned his head to the side, confirming that the formidable knight of Titus not far away heard what he said. He settled down a bit, and then, regardless of the fact that he was "injured", he hacked to death with his men. The "Assassin" then disappeared at the corner of the street under the escort of his servants.
In the distance, Titus, holding a three-edged war spear in his hand, raised his horse and stabbed the heretics to death one after another. He glanced at the distance indifferently. There was a cold snort under the helmet.
At the same time, among the scattered crowd nearly 100 meters away, Rody, holding the "Attack Bow", stretched out his hand and pulled up his hood, his figure hidden in the shadows, as if he had never participated in this battle.
In the center of the city square, the arrival of Knight Titus and his subordinates directly destroyed the confidence of the "Viper Cross" killer in resisting. By the time the four teams of more than 80 Templars arrived, the "Viper Cross" had completely lost Resistance.
"My lord, those heretics..."
A guard ran over to report the situation to the bishop, and it was Akasha and her men who were mentioned at this time—because these people kept retreating when the battle started, they never participated in the battle, let alone were attacked. When Rubens heard his question, he immediately remembered the fact that he was "assaulted" by Akasha, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone will be detained, and we will wait until the incident is over."
"They may bounce back..."
"You can use force to detain them all, not one less"
Rubens flicked his sleeves and gave the order to die.
The guards trotted away, and the wounded on the battlefield were almost gone. After a long time, the archbishop turned around, only to see Benjamin bending over to check the wound on Gallup's body.
"What did you find?"
"He was... killed by an arrow."
Holding an arrow shaft in his hand, Benjamin stared at the bowl-sized wound. Regardless of the bloody smell coming from the pavement, he reached out and pushed away the scorched clothes on Gallup's back. The effect should be... the 'explosive arrow' produced by the temple."
"Arrow? How is it possible?"
Rubens was stunned—before he had sworn to Benjamin that there was no need for the guards to equip bows and arrows. Hearing such a fact now, he couldn't help feeling a little unspeakable in his heart. Gallup, known as "tricky and powerful", would be shot to death by an arrow in this situation
"Could it be a mistake?"
Benjamin shook his head, and was just about to answer something, but a conflict broke out between the temple guards on the other side in order to subdue those Akasha and his subordinates. There were shouts and screams, and after a while, Templar knights rushed over. After passing by, the situation was immediately under control, and the captain of the knights hurried over and bowed his head to plead guilty: "My lord, our team was surrounded by a group of mercenaries on the third avenue, if it wasn't for Knight Titus..."
He briefly explained the reason for being late just now, and then Rubens realized that there was someone else who hindered the cavalry team—obviously, his carefully planned plan was directly ruined because of the obstruction of an unknown force... When thinking about it this way, He was especially grateful for the arrow that killed Gallup. Although I don't know who is helping me, but its role in changing the entire situation of the battle is undeniable.
Because without this arrow, Rubens and Benjamin would have been killed directly, the morale of the temple guards would have collapsed, and the "Rose Cross" would have left a very shameful mark in history
Thinking of this, Rubens breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the silver armored knight who arrived first, and asked Benjamin, "Who is he?"
"It's Knight Titus, the most powerful subordinate of the Duke of Angmar. I didn't expect him to appear here..." Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief. But he thought of some other things, and said to himself: "Could it be that the Duke of Angmar..."
Rubens didn't have time to listen carefully to what he deduced. At this time, the city square where thousands of people had gathered had already flowed into rivers of blood. He looked up and saw dead bodies and wounded everywhere. There were too many things, so regardless of his physical fatigue, he began to direct the on-site dispatch with a scepter.
It didn't take long before the guards at the end of the battle reported the news of "Akasha is missing", which made Lord Bishop's face darken, and immediately issued the order "must be recovered, dead or alive"
The battle in the square came to an end, but at the same moment, the conflict between Francis and Sally broke out again...
