The battle at the west city gate lasted less than three or four minutes from beginning to end, and up to this time, Sally hadn't arrived at the expected north city gate.
Geographically speaking, the location of the Duke's Mansion is the closest to the north city gate, and it takes only five minutes to reach the outside of the city gate when the driving is smooth. However, the monastery where Sally lives is in a delicate position—it is far from the battle site of the west city gate. The straight-line distance is less than 500 meters
And if you walk towards the north city gate, the closest distance to the "encirclement" along the way is no more than 200 meters
Sally was aware of this, so when she heard the bell representing "retreat", she immediately pulled the rein, staring blankly at the closed west city gate in the distance, and wanted to rush over, but she knew that she would not help at all. Don't do anything busy, my heart is a mess and confused...
"Miss, we don't have much time, we must hurry there now, the master's carriage will be waiting for you, if you don't make it, the master probably won't leave—"
Martin understood the pros and cons, and immediately sweated coldly to persuade Sally to move on quickly. He didn't want to see any "accidents" happen to the duke's daughter who had just become a priest, and he didn't dare to do what the Duke of Angmar solemnly explained. Damn, seeing Sally's hesitant expression at this moment, he even had the thought of carrying her away immediately
Fortunately, Sally was not an impulsive and brainless girl. She took a deep breath, started the horse again, and asked with a trembling voice while running: "They failed... Bishop and Bishop, Titus and Wellington They're all there, they're still failing...then Rowdy he-"
"I don't care about so much, miss"
Martin whipped Sally's horse on the ass, and shouted: "Since they can't stop it, Captain Roddy can't stop him from planning an ambush. He knows it well. If the bell rings , which means that he has no choice.”
These cruel words made Sally feel as if her heart froze suddenly, and the scenes that she was least willing to imagine appeared in her mind almost immediately...
Do I want to return to this city after everything is over, cross those moss-covered stone roads, walk to the cemetery outside the south gate, and face those cold... tombstones alone
The conversation at the dinner party a few days ago is still vivid in my memory, and the oath I made with Roddy still seems to echo in my ears—the last time I parted, I asked him "Is the next battle dangerous?"
"It should be safe. Even if something goes wrong, you and the Duke don't have to worry."
This was Rody's answer at the time. Sally recalled it at this time, and suddenly understood what he meant by "you and the Duke don't have to worry"...
The cold wind in the early morning hits her face, but Sally feels that the world in front of her eyes has become blurred—the hand holding the rein is clenched tightly, and she really wants to rush to the battlefield to confirm that her judgment is wrong, but the reason in her mind is not. tell her she must run now
The sound of horseshoes echoed on the street, and the few civilians looked at the roaring horses and ran away in a hurry. Sally turned her head and looked at her side. The street she was walking at this time happened to be the main road leading to the west city gate—but Looking around, she couldn't see anything other than groups of patrolling cavalry and the closed city gate...
"What's going on..."
When her eyes turned to the front, Sally noticed a crudely shaped carriage parked in the distance, just when she felt strange, she heard Martin next to him on the bumping horse said solemnly: "That's the master's car... He said he would wait for you, miss."
Hearing these words, Sally felt that her already cold and lost heart seemed to recover a lot of temperature—but only then did she understand: Thinking of everything Roddy did was to keep herself and her father alive. go down...
As long as someone in the Luciferon family is alive, everything can be redeemed
When thinking of this, Sally complained in her heart why Rody was so stupid. What is there in this family that deserves him to save it again and again regardless of the danger of his life
"Heh... Believe it or not, I did this just so that this country... won't be destroyed by a group of beasts in the future."
Thinking of what Rody said back then, Sally suddenly became a little stunned—everything Rody did seemed to be really for what she thought was a "joke" back then.
When something suddenly comes to mind, I suddenly feel heavy in my heart. She bit her lip tightly and rode the horse and continued to run forward, her eyes were red, but she did not shed tears after all.
But in the carriage in the distance, the Duke of Angmar was looking towards the direction of the west city gate and sighed secretly: "The problem that so many people can't solve... I really can't blame the lack of careful planning."
Although he knew in his heart that the failure of this plan might have a very bad impact, he was still in the deep city after all. He just clenched his fists slightly and did not choose to go up to die now. Although what Luo Di said at the beginning was ugly, it is indeed true: he cannot kill him If you die, the territory of Efta will be completely finished
Sally can't die either, she's the sole heir to the Luciferon family.
The Duke of Angmar originally had the opportunity to leave the city immediately, but his father is a father after all. Even if he had such an opportunity, he finally chose to walk behind Sally—at this time, he saw Sally galloping here in the distance Coming here, he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart... Just running away like this, even if it was the right choice, was too useless
Just as he was about to order the coachman to start the carriage, Angmar suddenly heard a muffled "duh" in his ear, turned his head and looked out from the simple window of the hood, but he was surprised to see a The long arrow was nailed to the wall not far away...
Frost-white ice crystals spread along the arrows towards both sides of the wall instantaneously. In less than two seconds, the original gray-brown wall showed a hexagonal frozen trace, as if a snowflake was drawn out of thin air.
"Arrow of Frost..."
The Duke immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the arrow, but he just heard a muffled sound coming from a distance.
"sip"
A few hundred meters away, both Angmar and Sally could hear the far-spreading sound. When they turned their heads and looked, they immediately saw a puff of smoke rising from the top of the clock tower, the tallest building near the west city gate.
The big bell on the top of the bell tower then let out a muffled sound again, and two figures leaped out of the smoke and dust one after the other. Even with a distance of hundreds of meters, you could still see that the two figures were holding a handle in their hands. bow
The Duke of Angmar and Sally looked into the distance, and opened their mouths at the same time: "That's... Roddy?"
The time was dialed back to a few minutes ago.
Magda, who calmly left from the heads of hundreds of temple guards, jumped down from a height of more than ten meters. When she landed, she rolled over. After losing her strength, she got up and walked directly into the shadow of an alley. Get the attention of the team that just patrolled past.
The blue short bow was held in his hand, and the arrows in the quiver on his back did not fly out because of his violent actions, and the robe that was originally disguised as the caravan leader was torn off at some point. At that time, Magda was wearing gray and black leather armor—he was moving fast in the shadows, but his gray pupils were always looking at a few houses not far away...
"How dare you ambush me..."
Walking through the alley for a while, he took a leap and jumped over a two-meter-high wall. When he fell, he stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at the side, and said into the air: "Who leaked the news?"
Derby's figure appeared in the distorted air. The latter's clothes had many rips and dirty soil. He obviously suffered a bit from the battle just now, but at this moment, even though he was full of resentment, he still immediately knelt on one knee. Kneeling down, lowering his head, he said, "This subordinate is incompetent... I really don't know why."
"They came prepared." Magda was not interested in pursuing other people's responsibilities at this time, and the gray pupils were full of anger, "It seems that the two knights and the rose cross team are preparing to encircle and suppress? I'm afraid they... found the wrong person."
"grown ups?"
Although the undead has no heartbeat or breath, Derby still feels his withered heart twitching a few times... This Magda in front of him has never been easy to mess with, even in the Tasman Kingdom, there are not many people Dare to touch his bad luck—because everyone knows that he has a terrible character of vengeance, no matter how powerful the person who really angered [Blightcaller] Magda, most of the consequences will be inexplicable disappearances or even the corpses are not neatly put together...
Apparently, this group of human beings is in for a bad luck right now.
"Kill back, within five minutes, I want those two magic sticks to die."
Magda looked away, her words sounded casual, but with an inexplicable chill, "Those two knights, if they can stay, they don't have to go."
After the words fell, he walked towards the building next to him, jumped up without using any skills, grabbed and pulled with one hand, climbed to the eaves of the house and jumped up to the second floor, and disappeared in Derby without a sound. in front of.
This move is simply more agile than what Derby, a professional assassin, did. Looking at the disappearing figure of Magda in the distance, Derby also understood that he had no room to refuse. He touched his bald head, shook his head, turned around and disappeared in the in place.
At the same moment, Rody, who was hiding under the low wall tens of meters away, clenched the scroll in his hand nervously.
Regarding what will happen next, Rody actually doesn't have much confidence at all - but right now he has no choice: one step back is hell, if you don't grit your teeth and try, I'm afraid you can only sit and wait for death...
Taking a deep breath, he looked up at the soldiers not far away who were vigilantly looking around while holding their shields, and then at Rubens and Benjamin who were surrounded by solid bodies. Then he clenched the short bow in his hand and returned it The quiver straps of the remaining 16 arrows were pulled hard, and they were tightly tied to the back...
Rody raised his hand and gestured to Wellington and Titus, who had recovered their combat capabilities a dozen meters away.
"let's start."
"Walk"
Wellington and Titus glanced at each other, and rushed out from the corner at the same time. Both of them held a heavy tower shield in their hands. What they held in their hands was no longer the heavy sword from the previous battle, but copied from a soldier. Short swords—two tall and long-legged knights rushed towards Rubens' position from the street, looking around vigilantly, protecting their bodies with shields in their hands, and their bodies full of "battle spirit" distorted the air.
After the priest's "recovery technique", the injuries of the two people are no longer serious, and anyone can guess their behavior now is to get together with the bishop and the bishop to take care of each other.
Apparently they admitted that they were powerless to fight back against a "ranger" like Magda, and that other high-level assassin hiding in the shadows was even more terrifying.
Hundreds of temple guards moved out of the way under the order of the bishop. After the two old men were protected by Wellington and Titus' shields, they immediately bowed and bowed under the protection of more than a dozen supplementary shields. Back out of the street.
At this time, almost all the top-end combat power of this ambush team gathered in one place, and because of Rody's reminder, the two clergymen did not show up at all, so no matter Derby or Magda, at this time, except for a hard attack , There is no way to effectively attack—to put it bluntly, the two priests are like tortoises hiding in their shells, leaving no one to talk about.
Rody, who was hiding behind the low wall, pursed his lips, and the scroll in his hand was almost soaked in the sweat of his palms. Because the direction of these people's retreat was right in his field of vision, Wellington and Titus glanced over from time to time. panoramic view.
As the decision maker of this temporary plan, Rody took a deep breath, glanced again at the complex houses on both sides and the "corridor" specially vacated by the temple guards in front of him, raised his palm, and looked at him. Wellington made a gesture...
"thump"
When such a sound sounded, the soldiers around raised their heads suspiciously, and immediately realized that someone had fallen—but then they discovered that the temple guard who fell happened to be the guard behind the bishop. , his fall directly caused a gap in the "human wall" protecting Rubens
"Protect the adults"
Someone reacted and opened their mouths to warn loudly, but at such a moment, the guards on both sides of the bishop had no time to block the gap immediately, and even because of the hindrance of the guard's fall, the moving team would "gap" expand
It seems that no one expected such an "oolong" to appear, and Rubens's angry voice also sounded—"What's going on? Hurry up—"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of "squeak" suddenly sounded
The ice balls splashing in front of him were completely blocked by the "Holy Shield". The temple guard next to him took a closer look, but saw that the wellington knight who had rushed up had just covered the opening with a shield, and the shield was covered with a shield. At this moment, an arrow has bounced off, and was almost completely frozen by that icy power
The full "battle spirit" made the shield far stronger than the metal surface itself, and the impact of the arrow was extremely powerful, but Wellington held the shield with both hands, and firmly blocked the terrifying attack with only a small step back
Because all the soldiers were focused on looking for the enemy, Magda was caught by the archers standing on the second floor the first time Magda appeared from the top of the building. An arrow shot towards him "whoosh, whoosh", but this [Blightcaller] didn't pay attention at all. When he stepped forward and ran forward, he dodged all the arrows that were shot at him with a slight movement of his body. , the action of stretching out his hand and drawing the arrow to shoot almost became a phantom, but after taking three or four steps, six arrows were already shot towards Rubens
