In an instant, without waiting for Zhao Xu and others to explain, the archers standing on the high slope immediately fired towards the two of them with full strings.
The whole process was seamless.
Perhaps, when Zhao Xu saw the brass treasure boxes piled at the feet of several people, he already understood that this matter could not be rectified.
Arthur, in order to fight against the professionals, in addition to using adventurers to check and balance the adventurers, the rest relied on cavalry phalanxes and bow and arrow phalanxes.
After ordinary civilians and mercenaries were trained in armor, and then equipped with spears, it was really difficult for an ordinary adventurer team to resist when the group charged.
However, Zhao Xu at this moment is not an ordinary adventurer team.
When the first wave of arrows without magic fell on Zhao Xu, most of them were blocked by his high mage armor ability.
Invisibly, he had already filtered out the first wave of attacks.
The remaining arrows that luckily penetrated the force field armor and fell on him without dodging were directly destroyed by the cloak on his body.
This scene directly shocked the two young cavalry leaders who were commanding them. For a moment, they thought that the other party had cast a magic spell.
At the same moment, the cavalrymen carrying long spears also rushed towards Zhao Xu, and the sharp spear points were pointed straight at him.
In an instant, Zhao Xu and Vivian both activated their abilities and flew towards the sky.
"Is this? The ability to fly?"
The young man with a resolute face couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself that he might have kicked a rock.
But immediately he strengthened his belief.
As long as the two people in front of him saw everything in the lair, he would not be able to let each other go back safely.
This is also the reason why after they heard the appearance of the super giant mutant scorpion, they immediately recruited cavalry to come to the lair to check, in order to recover the things originally placed here.
At this time, Zhao Xufei swung up high in the sky and looked at the people below like ants from a distance.
When the mage has the power to fly, ordinary terrain obstacles are no longer a problem. At the same time, if you want to capture the mage, you must bring enough air troops.
When he saw this, he just snorted, thinking about how to target the cavalry below.
They really thought he was not good-tempered, so he just jumped on his face without saying a word and just wanted to do it.
"President."
At this time, Vivian looked serious, and the wings on her back had turned white, like angel feathers.
She exuded an incomparable divine aura, no longer the pure and charming state she had before.
"What's wrong?"
"I suspect that the nest just now was the setting for some evil ritual." Vivian said.
"When we were in the corridor just now, there were a lot of human corpses left on the ground. Apparently they were not piled and buried there in the past, but were the result of the inability of these mutant scorpions to move them."
Zhao Xu also recalled it.
The warrior named Beiguo recalled this to him. There were corpses hanging from the top of the lair, and some were even directly imprisoned in cages.
But when they first broke in, they only saw the ceiling hooks and nothing else.
Thinking of this, his expression also darkened.
"Are you the ones responsible for the corpses in the lair?" Zhao Xu suddenly sped up, swept close by, and asked the two young men.
Suddenly both of their faces became gloomy, "Did you see it?"
"How much more do you know?"
Immediately, the determined young man shouted to the mutant scorpions around him: "Kill him!"
At the same time, the bracelet on his hand directly inspired a mysterious glow.
In an instant, all the mutant scorpions that had been dormant rushed towards Zhao Xu one by one.
Zhao Xu closed his eyes silently, knowing that there was no room for negotiation.
The night was instantly stained red with blood. ���
Morning light.
"Hurry up, go faster." A middle-aged man in uniform who looked like a butler was sitting on a horse, urging the cavalry behind him.
However, his voice had no impact at all.
This team is uniformly uniform, wearing heavy silver armor, and riding on high-spirited heavy-duty war horses. Even if it travels thousands of miles, it is still impressive.
"Mr. Steward, please stop rushing." Another tough and strong young leader advised.
A scar slid from his forehead to his chin, but it did not damage his murderous aura at the moment. He had a demeanor that had been on the battlefield for a long time.
The heavy cavalry behind him all followed his lead, and their pace and speed were consistent with his.
"Hey, how can that be possible? The old mistress saw that the second young master had not come back early in the morning, and she was worried to death, so she immediately urged me to come over and see what was going on."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have privately mobilized your border troops to help." The middle-aged man who looked like a butler explained.
It was just getting dark and the rooster had just crowed once. Most people were still huddled up in their warm quilts.
However, the heavy cavalry of the frontier army were all in high spirits at this moment, and their entire momentum was even condensed.
"I guess they saw that there were beautiful women among the refugees, and they went too far." The leader of the strong cavalry said contemptuously.
"Don't look down on the second young master so much. He has gone through military training in the past two years and has become much calmer."
"Calm down? As he is seconded to the patrol cavalry, and he is accompanied by a usual pig friend and dog friend, I think his temperament is hard to change." The strong man commander said, "Maybe they will be setting up camp when you arrive. So happy."
Suddenly the cavalry commander pulled the reins in his hand.
"Something's wrong, the smell of blood is too strong."
Hearing this, the housekeeper seemed to feel the blood pressure in his mind rising again.
He hurriedly drove the horse under him to gallop quickly.
It was not until he rounded a boulder ahead that he almost fainted and almost fell off his horse.
On the entire hillside, the patrol cavalry dispatched yesterday were all dead and scattered on the mountain like chess pieces.
These cavalrymen lay neatly on the ground one by one, without any reaction or consciousness.
There were no wounds on their bodies, and even the armor they wore was not even damaged.
"Who did it?" Although the patrol cavalry was not the strongest force in their frontier army, seeing this scene still made his head bleed and difficult to understand.
Looking up at this time, this originally peaceful hill seemed to have been crushed deeply by huge boulders. Countless armors and weapons were scattered on the ground.
The strong man kept thinking in his mind, wondering whether the border guards from the opposite principality were crossing the border to attack.
"Where is the young master?" The housekeeper saw that the cavalry brought by the second young master last night were like this, and he became even more worried about his safety.
"There." At this time, the strong man's tone was cold, filled with deep chills.
He looked at the treetops in the distance. Hanging on the big tree were two young men in ragged clothes, with all the armor on their bodies shattered and falling to the ground.
From the pale and bloodless face of the other party, it can be seen that he has been dead for a long time, and his body was frozen stiff in this barren mountain.
The housekeeper looked at the scene in disbelief and burst into tears.
The brawny commander was also mentally cursing at this moment, and the alliance might be in chaos for a while. ���
Zhenyu City is the largest alliance city in the Northern Alliance closest to the Principality of Xiluo.
At this special time when the other side is completely likely to fall into full-scale civil strife, countless tourists in the wild and old citizens of the principality are rushing to the deadline to come to Zhenyu City to defect to the Northern Alliance.
At this moment, the town gate, which was originally the busiest, was even more crowded.
Even adventurers who are usually domineering, at this sensitive node, were waiting in line to enter the city without making any overly aggressive moves.
"This is too much of a battle."
A team of players who had just finished collecting from the wild complained that they had been queuing at the door since the beginning, looking down at the contents of the baskets from time to time, with anxious expressions on their faces.
"It's strange, why did you check so carefully today?" A soldier in the player's team who had participated in the defense deployment during this period said with surprise.
"Oh, you just came back, right? Didn't you hear the news on the way?" At this time, a fisherman took a sip and pointed at the team of players lined up in front of him.
"Hey, old man, what do you know?" the player warrior who was considered an insider said dissatisfied.
"Take a look at the notice board yourself." The old man saw that the other party's tone was impatient, and he immediately stopped bragging.
At this time, several players couldn't help but look at the huge notice board posted at the corner of the city gate.
"So tough? Where did the dragon cross the river come from? He just killed the local snake."
The warrior player had good eyesight and was the first to see the sign clearly.
His expression immediately changed, and he immediately explained to his companions.
"This is a big deal. One of the deceased is the nephew of the current alliance leader Tang De. This murder is a slap in the face."
At this time, everyone was also chatting enthusiastically about the gossip about the deceased, but most of the comments from everyone around him were curses, so they were happy that someone could deal with the domineering young master.
As we chatted, the focus of everyone's conversation was also drawn to the mysterious killer, and many speculations emerged in an instant.
"identity?"
As time went by, the team slowly moved forward.
At this time, the patrol soldiers stationed looked at the man and woman in front of them, and asked in a low voice, while the other side was also quietly on guard.
