The entire imperial capital is in turmoil. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Prince Regent's encounter with assassins has brought the imperial capital's security system to work like a clockwork clock. With King's Avenue as the center radiating to the nearby neighborhoods, and even the entire city gate of the imperial capital, the guards of the imperial capital formed an impenetrable iron bucket array.
Charlotte and the others were miserable in this bucket array, looking for a gap to escape in the King's Road, only to find that there was no use in the slightest except to make their own space for movement more cramped.
"Damn, these guys are chasing too closely!" he pointed to the countless glowing orbs of magic above his head, "And what the hell is this? Just to prevent me from using shadow stealth, they went to great lengths to create an artificial sun?"
As Charlotte said, there are countless balls of magic light suspended throughout the entire King's Mile. A ball of magic light may not have any effect, but when they come together, half of King's Avenue turns into a barely shadowless day.
And this small half of the area is the area with Charlotte and others as the center of the activity.
If that's all there is to it, it's just a pediatric for the three of them. But the problem is that there is no shortage of good hands under Mesfield, and those people are like hounds who follow the three of them through scents and tracks, and if it weren't for Charlotte's illusion, they would have been overtaken by the pursuers.
Claire panted and clutched her knees, the exercise tonight was worth a year's worth of activity for the weakest mage.
"It's—no, no, no......" he panted, rolling his eyes, "I won't need them to do anything if I continue like this, I'll exhaust myself to death." ”
Neam poked his head out of the corner like a turtle, then jerked back into the wall, and said, "The patrol ahead is coming, and it looks like we're going to have to run again." But I have a proposal, it's a bit risky, but why don't you try it?"
"It's good no matter what, no matter how bad it is, it's not as bad as the current long-distance running peek-a-boo. Claire said impatiently.
"Although my physical fitness is not bad. Charlotte seconded, "But even if I get arrested, I don't want to continue this terrible journey." ”
"Then we'll come to an agreement. Neham pointed out of the wall, "I think so, how about we force our way out of the encirclement?"
"Sounds good, but what next? The entire Imperial Capital Security System will know where we're going. Charlotte questioned.
"So we're going to be fast!" Neam crouched down and sketched out the stone pavement, "I've been lurking in the Imperial Capital before, and I know there's a very secret passage in this Ecstasy Cave. While this Ecstasy Cave isn't as simple as it seems, with a bit of luck, we could even cause chaos and get rid of our pursuers. ”
He looked up at the two of them and asked, "How?" ”
Charlotte looked at the map he had drawn and laughed, "It doesn't look too difficult to traverse two blocks with pursuers behind and interception in front. Well, it can't be done anyway, can it?
The trio had made up their minds, and the patrol burst out as they approached their hideout.
The patrol apparently did not expect the Assassins to have the audacity to attack them, and the first two guards were choked by the neck by Neham without resistance, and flung them out like a shot put.
The mage in the guard was startled, and he trembled and chanted the incantation. Unfortunately, he was faced with two of the most outstanding geniuses that Icewind Castle had ever seen, and Claire had just one spell, and the mist of black smoke rushed into the mage's seven orifices.
The latter's spell was still stuck in his throat, and he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
There were twelve guards in one place, and it was easily solved by three people in just one face.
But this was only the beginning, as the patrol fell, the defense system of King's Avenue instantly sensed that something was wrong, and surrounded it like a large net.
"Run!"
Neam shouted, and Charlotte immediately cast an accelerated spell on the soles of their feet to anoint the soles of their feet, and on a winter night, the three of them rushed out of King's Road in the cold wind.
"Stop!"
They were surrounded by several groups of guards, and one of the officers shouted at them to stop, and the distance between the three men and the army was only twenty meters.
Seeing that persuasion was useless, the officer immediately ordered the guards to release arrows.
"Bye bye!"
Charlotte pointed to the ground, and the originally clear stone pavement was instantly covered with a layer of greasy stains, and the pursuing army could no longer grasp its balance, and fell into a ball like a rolling gourd. Several archers even misfired their allies because they lost their balance, and the guards were embarrassed by a small spell.
The remaining few well-balanced guards were knocked unconscious by a single charge from Neham, and the three of them jumped and stepped on the guards' bodies to bypass the range of the greasy technique, and for a time they could only hear the whole ground mourning.
"What a handy spell. "How nice it would be if it was all men of this caliber who were chasing us!"
Before he could finish speaking, he pushed the two away with a look of anger on his face.
Several cold rays flickered behind him, and Neam didn't have time to draw his sword, so he subconsciously stretched out his left hand to block the cold rays one by one.
He spread out his backhand and looked at it, only to see a fluorescent dark weapon flashing in the palm of his hand.
"Sudden poisoning is not a means to be recognized. Neham said coldly to the comer.
"To deal with an Assassin is to use the methods of an Assassin. The visitor was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and gloomy eyes, and he smiled coldly, "Little mice, do you think that you can leave with a swagger after annoying the Prince?" ”
Neam was about to say another when Charlotte's grumbling could be heard behind him.
"Brother, you don't need to push me! We have protective magic on us, you know? Your push will hurt us even more!"
Charlotte shook her hand, a layer of skin on the palm of his hand.
"Do you still want to fight me at such a time?" asked Neuem, frowning.
"Don't be so serious. Charlotte shrugged, "Maintaining a good mindset is good for your health." It's like this buddy, he thinks he can keep us alone, but in the next second, I promise he'll blow up his lungs!"
"Are you right?" the masked Charlotte raised her eyebrows at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man tugged at the corners of his mouth angrily, but his usual good observation skills allowed him to discover a detail. As he spoke, the broken-mouthed Assassin spread out his hand to show the gold-rimmed Assassin the condition of his palm, but his movements seemed normal but with a hint of incongruity.
His fingers were wiggling slightly!
The middle-aged man suddenly remembered Prince Maysfield's words, among these assassins there was a mage of extraordinary strength!
His complexion changed suddenly, and he subconsciously rolled backwards. Thanks to his caution, in the next second, countless ice cubes turned into sharp arrows and stabbed into the direction where he was originally standing.
Bing Ling was comparable to a divine weapon that went straight into the bluestone slab, and the middle-aged man looked at the power of this spell with a shocked face. If he hadn't been cautious, he would have become a hedgehog at this moment.
The cold air filled the streets like fog, and by the time the middle-aged man bypassed the cold fog, the three assassins had long since disappeared. He crouched down and knocked on the marks on the ground, but his expression changed several times.
Eventually, he gave up tracking on his own, standing still and waiting for his accomplices to converge.
About half a minute later, a dozen people of various professions gathered on the street. They looked at the grim-faced middle-aged man, and one of them sneered and asked, "What's the matter? Hound dog, you're chasing someone?"
The middle-aged man drank coldly, "How is it possible! It's just that I don't plan to continue chasing before you come." I don't want to die somewhere in the imperial capital. ”
After realizing the meaning of the middle-aged man's words, a tall man with a big sword on his back had a solemn expression, "It seems that tonight is not peaceful. Let's go and meet those three Assassins. ”
