"Shh..." Fann made a silencing gesture.
Since it is a patrol team, it must be guarding important routes, and there is no reason to take care of an empty stockyard. Judging from the direction they were traveling, it should be a normal patrol along the street, so just wait until they are far away.
However, an accident happened here.
The team took a few steps and suddenly stopped.
Two of them left the team and walked casually towards the seaside.
"Hey, hey... no way." Someone whispered.
Fann couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling - they obviously hadn't discovered the flaw of the investigation team and came towards the thatched house. They clearly wanted to find a convenient place, and the stockyard was their first choice.
That's the problem.
The signal tube has been ignited, and the burst of green light illuminates the surrounding area. A few thatched houses can block the view on one side of the street, but they cannot surround the light.
As long as they take a few dozen steps, they will find green light seeping from the side of the house.
They could bet the enemy wouldn't get too close to the yard, but until now, the enemy hadn't stopped.
Vann removed the canister gun from his back.
"Go four people and go around the block from the other side. Leave these two guys to me. Heim, Tyr, protect our girl, and - don't let the signal be interrupted no matter what. After this burns out, we must immediately Light up the second tube."
After saying that, he ducked down and quietly slipped out of the thatched house.
Although he is not on Noah, Silver Star is also a tree boat, and the entangled roots under his feet will not cause him trouble. Even without a torch, he will not stumble due to the uneven ground.
On the contrary, the torches in the hands of the Imperials became the most eye-catching signpost.
Fann didn't stop until he was fifteen feet away.
He half-knelt on the ground, turned on the gun safety, took a deep breath, and lifted the air rifle flat.
After the high priest purchased the first batch of weapons, he was the first person to receive them—Jinxia was not only responsible for the transactions, but also sent someone to instruct them on how to use them. During training, Fann realized deeply that this thing was much stronger than a bow and arrow. As long as the distance was slightly further, he could defeat one against ten.
But this was not the time to be careful. He had to let the two people fall silently to avoid causing greater trouble.
At this time, the enemy also stopped and inserted the torch at his feet.
There's no better opportunity than now—
Vann held his breath and pulled the trigger.
Almost at the same time, the enemy looked in the direction of the thatched house in confusion, "Hey, what's going on over there?"
"It seems... something is glowing?"
The firing sound of an air rifle is very rapid and crisp, and the tone is extremely light, without the explosive sound of a musket at all.
Due to the close distance, the moment the high-pressure air flow escaped the barrel, the bullet had already flown in front of one of them. I saw a red mist blooming on the patrolman's face, and then he fell backward like a stone, without even having time to let out a scream.
The other person's expression suddenly changed.
He raised his spear and wanted to speak a warning, but was interrupted by another round of bullets.
The neck, chest, waist, thighs... were shot in many places at the same time. Although he was wearing leather armor, he could not block the impact of the pointed diabolo bullets.
This time Vann almost drained the air pressure in the tank.
Is it done
The moment he lowered the muzzle of the gun, he realized that his palms were already covered in fine sweat.
One thing Vann did not tell everyone was that he had indeed fought against the Imperial Army many times, but each time it ended with the troops fleeing. Apart from witnessing the death and injury of his teammates, he had gained nothing, and he had not even killed an enemy. Once, he was in close combat with an armored knight. He tried every means to injure the opponent, but he almost died on the spot.
From that day on, there was a shadow in his heart.
For a warrior, this is an unacceptable result.
This is also the reason why Fann was the first to step out of the queue when the high priest recruited the investigation team.
He knew that only by fighting the Imperial Army again and winning could he get rid of this inner demon.
Looking at the two motionless patrolmen lying on the ground, Van Ensind suddenly felt a sense of sincere relief—at this point, when others mentioned his deeds against the empire again, he finally no longer had to hide his guilt and anguish alone.
He took out a new gas tank from his backpack and replaced it, then turned towards the street and touched it.
The torches were still burning, but the long silence also made other members of the patrol impatient.
"Are those two people okay yet?"
"Why does it take so long to be convenient? Isn't it because of diarrhea?"
"Yes, maybe they are looking for leaves everywhere."
"Damn... I'm going to take a look. Someone come with me."
Two more figures came towards the torch, cursing.
Seeing that the encirclement was not enough, Fann quickly ran into the surrounding grass and decided to wait for the enemy. Even if there is a risk of exposure, they must not let them discover the abnormality behind the thatched house.
When the distance between the two parties narrowed and he could vaguely see the outline of the other party, the fire in the distance suddenly disappeared. Apparently, his comrades had already moved around to the rear and launched an attack on the scattered team. Everything has been going well so far. There are only seven or eight people in the patrol. With their minds and hearts, they may be able to take down this imperial squad quietly with the help of Jinxia City's new weapons.
As long as he can deal with these two new enemies—
As soon as this idea came up, Fann saw the armor on one of them that reflected the light.
The leader is actually an iron knight!
He subconsciously took a step back.
"Click."
There was a sound of roots snapping underfoot.
"Who is it?" The knight immediately looked towards where he was.
Fann had no choice but to take action first!
Since neither side carried torches, he could not shoot as accurately as before, and could only fire continuously at the location of the black shadow. At the same time, the gleaming armor quickly approached, rushing in front of him almost in the blink of an eye - the bullets sparked off the enemy, but failed to stop the opponent's actions.
When he got close to Fann, he discovered that there was a metal shield lying in front of the knight!
Sweeping by the shield, he was forced to roll backwards to avoid the powerful and heavy blow.
"There are actually hidden elves - and their skills seem to have been practiced." The knight seemed a little surprised. He glanced at the shield, "What is that in your hand? A new crossbow? I don't seem to be listening. to the sound of gunfire."
Vann dropped the air rifle and drew the short sword from his waist. The situation in front of them can be described as extremely unfavorable - although they are all demon possessors, the islanders can only use tree spirit seeds to display their abilities, while the imperial people are good at killing.
But no matter what, he was determined not to give up the road under his feet.
He didn't want to experience the feeling of defeat again.
The enemies accompanying the Iron Knight also came up from the sides.
The ambush just now had obviously failed.
"Silence, right? It doesn't matter, I will do my own research." The knight said coldly, "...after cutting off all your fingers."
At this moment, a strange wind sound reached everyone's ears - it undulated regularly, as if someone was holding a huge cattail leaf fan and waving it back and forth, and the sound became louder and louder from far to near.
Wow - Wow - Wow -
The enemy also showed doubts.
But this hesitation only lasted for less than a few breaths, and the answer appeared in front of everyone. I saw a small mountain-like black shadow rising almost vertically to the surface, and rushing straight towards the three of them!
"Get down!" someone shouted - in the Central Plains language.
Fann didn't hesitate and immediately lay down with his head in his hands.
The knight's reaction was obviously a beat slower. While he was still trying to see clearly what this black shadow was, Olina's strong body was already pressing on him with a huge force!
Under the high-speed impact, the knight was dragged along and rubbed against the ground, sliding out for a full six to seven feet. By the time the dragon girl regained control of her posture, the person who was crushed had turned into an inseparable mixture of flesh and metal along with their armor.
