Chapter 121: Scarlet Street
Led by Ares, Given's party hurried from the path between the treehouses to Elder Passani's house. Ares was most familiar with the roads in the city, so he didn't run into any of the Freddy's minions along the way. However, they soon made their way through the civilian area and into the final stretch of the road. It's already an aristocratic quarter, and there's no longer the alleyways and treehouses in the sky to hide your whereabouts.
Ares looked at the wide bluestone avenue in front of him, which was calm, with only a few pedestrians in the shade of tall trees. Just rush past the intersection in front of you, and climb over a row of bushes, and you can touch the wall of Elder Passani's home.
"Before the Freddy family comes, let's drive them away!"
Ares was the first to burst out of the bushes, and then began to run down the avenue. Adelia once again used her life magic to summon a magic carpet of magic vines, and let the Quinn family and Xiyue sit on it, moving forward quickly.
Jiwen stood at the back of the line, nervously watching the end of the avenue.
"Here they are, in heaven!"
Xiyue suddenly pointed to the sky and reminded her teammates loudly.
As soon as Givens looked up, he spotted the pursuers from the sky. The summoners who summoned the flying mounts were swooping down into the air, their staffs glowing, and attack magic could rain down from the sky at any moment.
Not only that, but many of the summoning mounts had more than one elf sitting on their backs, and those pegasus or giant eagles flew past Given's party at a rapid pace, and then quickly lowered their altitude and landed at the street corner in front of them. The hedron warriors or summoners on their backs quickly jumped to the ground, blocking their path.
"Damn it!"
Ares, at the front of the group, cursed, and then unleashed an ice arrow through the crystal disk to smash at the group of enemies. The huge ice arrows shattered the defensive spells of the summoners, and the flying ice and snow knocked down several elves, causing a temporary gap in the blockade line ahead.
"Adella, keep up with Ares!"
Given's reminding Adelia loudly while casting ice arrows with the crystal disk to disperse the flying mounts in the air.
Adelia uses an offensive life spell to wrestle her enemies as she manipulates the magic carpet to run towards the gap opened by Ares.
Almost at the same time, the enemies in the sky also discovered that Adella's green magic carpet was about to break through the blockade. Spell attacks and arrows rained down from the air, but it was only Quinn's strength to hold on to the magic shield that saved the people on the magic carpet from injury.
Adella's vine carpet was moving rapidly, and it seemed that it was about to pass through the pursuers at the corner of the street. But at that moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded from the other side of the crossroads.
A train of richly decorated carriages is speeding through the streets, and the coachmen have changed the tradition of elves to treat their horses, and desperately urge these unicorn-blooded horses to gallop on the bluestone road with whips.
Theresia, the patriarch of the Freddy family, had already opened the door of the carriage and leaned out half of the car. Her eyes were fixed on the figures at the intersection in front of her. At the moment when the vine carpet was about to pass the intersection, the old woman shouted to the carriages behind her.
"Stop them, don't let them run!"
On the roof of a carriage behind, the figure of a hedron warrior appeared, and he urged the crystal disk on his armor, and a fire meteorite appeared out of thin air, heading straight for Adella's vine magic carpet.
Quinn desperately used his magic shield to block the scorching meteorite covered in flames. But the huge impact of the fire meteorite and the ensuing explosion completely overturned the vine magic carpet. The passengers on the magic carpet were tossed to the ground by the shockwave from the explosion.
The elven pursuers around them, seeing the reinforcements led by Patriarch Teresia, changed their cowering style just now, and boldly rushed forward and pounced on the crossroads.
Givens replied, desperately running towards Adella
Adelia struggled to her feet, the ringing in her ears from the explosion still echoing in her head. She struggled to turn her injured neck and looked around.
The remnants of the meteorite still burned on the ground, emitting billowing smoke and plunging the surroundings into a fog.
Ares wasn't on the flying carpet, lucky not to be affected by the explosion. The heroic sheriff held a crystal disk in one hand and constantly used ice arrows against the summoners in the distance, and in the other hand wielded a warhammer that he picked up out of nowhere, forcing back those summoned beasts or hedron warriors who dared to approach.
The second-hand merchant Xiyue also woke up from the explosion just now, she took Quinn's daughter with one hand, supported Mrs. Quinn with the other, and desperately rushed to the bushes in front of her.
Just walk through the bushes and over the fence and they'll be safe!
But it wasn't just Adelia who saw this scene, but Teresia, the patriarch of the Freddy family, also saw through the cracks in the smoke those enemies who were about to escape.
Theresia proudly watched the scuffle in front of her, she would not allow herself to orchestrate this round-up and destroy it in one fell swoop. She wants to avenge her granddaughter and use the blood of that little bastard Adelia to wash away the family's shame.
To achieve this, she can do whatever it takes, at any cost.
Theresia had planned to arrest all of Adella's remnants and put them on trial, but now it was clearly unnecessary.
I saw a few words popping out of the bloodless mouth of the old woman.
"Hold them down with arrows!"
The Freddy family guard beside her poked his head out of the carriage, opened his elven longbow, and began to shoot indiscriminately at the smoke not far away with his magic arrows. The carriages behind him, seeing Tresia's actions, also shot magic or arrows at the smoke-obscured street.
Smoke obscured Adella's vision, and by the time she spotted an arrow flying, it was too late.
A magical poison arrow pierced through the smoke and struck Lady Quinn's thigh, red blood immediately staining the hem of her white dress. Poison Arrow Ling had its own paralysis, and Mrs. Quinn immediately lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
This accident slowed down Xiyue's pace, and she tried hard to help Mrs. Ares up, but at this moment, another poisoned arrow pierced through the smoke and hit the second-hand merchant Xiyue's waist.
The paralysis in her waist made Xiyue immediately kneel, and the little girl she was holding also fell to the ground. Xiyue still wanted to stand up, but the toxin was spreading down the blood to her whole body, and her consciousness was leaving her little by little. Just before she fell unconscious, she saw another poisoned arrow flying towards her.
Xiyue instinctively used her body to protect Quinn's daughter, and then fainted.
Just seconds after Xiyue fell, Quinn's daughter Illya woke up from her coma. The pain from the fall opened her eyes.
But what appeared in front of the little girl's eyes at this moment was a terrifying scene.
Mother and Aunt who had just protected her were lying next to her covered in blood, and her father was gone, and there was smoke and fierce battles everywhere, and those terrifying summoned beasts that had never been seen before were eyeing them around, ready to pounce at any moment.
Illya cried, crying as hard as she could, trying to wake up from this nightmare.
