Chapter 419: Intention Trap
The sound of painful tears echoed intermittently in the ruins of the devastated houses on a sunny summer afternoon, Magnison's face twisted and struggling, his pale cheeks covered with countless beads of sweat the size of beans, and the bright red blood that slowly seeped from the wound on the back of his body that had been pierced by the blade soaked his clothes, moistening the ground and gradually forming a small pool of blinding blood.
The sword stabbed twice, it seemed that he avoided the fatal part of his body intentionally or unintentionally, he did not die immediately, but this is not good news, if the loss of blood cannot be stopped, death will be a matter of time.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is the process of waiting for death.
"Aderina, take this old fellow with you, let's go!"
Xia Lan took a step back slightly, raised his foot and flew Magnison on the ground towards Adelina at once, never taking his eyes off the man not far in front of him.
"Who allowed you to go?!"
Auston raised his crosssword and pointed it at them, and suddenly, Templars in silver armor appeared, blocking all possible retreats for Xia Lan.
"Captain Auston, why don't you let them go? Are you going to watch Master Magnison die at their hands? Donasius, who noticed the changes around him, trembled and said urgently.
"Dry tongue!"
Auston frowned slightly, and the cross-sword clenched in one hand swung straight away, and in a short moment, Donnacius flew out of the lawn more than ten meters away like a kite with a broken string, losing any sound.
"When will it be the turn of a little person like you to intervene in the matter of the Radiant Sanctuary!"
Domineering, ruthless, and empty-eyed.
Xia Lan, who witnessed this process, felt a pang in her heart. The intuitive impression of the other party is subconsciously reflected in the mind. He didn't know if the other party was killing chickens and monkeys or if they had another purpose. All in all, the results were extremely bad for them.
In today's situation, how should he choose? The other party's attitude obviously showed that he didn't care about Master Magnison's life at all, and the hostages seemed to have lost their effect!
Fight? If his body is still in peak condition, he can give it a try, but now he is simply looking for death! The Templars are different from ordinary warriors, and their combat skills alone are enough to defeat most of the powerhouses of the same rank, not to mention the battle formation of the Templar Megatron Continent.
Since the battle can't just be about escaping, Xia Lan is worried about whether they can successfully escape the round-up of the "Radiant Sanctuary"! Don't forget that Port Louis is the branch center of the Radiant Church in this mainland diocese. Gathering a large number of high-end combat forces, although the Knights Templar stationed in the Cathedral of Divine Grace is small in size and small in number, no one dares to underestimate this deadly force that can destroy a small principality.
If Christopher was there, it would have been fine.
Xia Lan thought to herself, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at Adelina who was guarding him with Magnison in front of him.
"I didn't expect my guess to confirm the reality, and I actually met you two fish who "subverted fangs" here, and there is a big fish that is different!"
Auston sneered, his eyes narrowed into a narrow slit and stared directly at Adelinea's indifferent vertical pupils, as if he didn't look at Xia Lan behind her in the slightest.
Adelina remained silent the whole time, in her world. It seemed that Xia Lan was the only one who deserved her to speak.
She didn't like the man in front of her very much, not only because he almost killed Mr. Xia Lan just now. The important thing is that the aura on his body makes her very disgusted, and there is always an unbearable bloodthirsty desire in her heart, which makes her want to immediately swing her sword and kill the other party.
Hearing Auston's words, Xia Lan immediately understood what the other party had misunderstood, or maybe it wasn't a misunderstanding, after all, the evil aura emanating from Adelina, who had swallowed Galbo's Eye, was indeed easy to suspect the body of the "Subversive Fang".
To his wonder, at this point in the conversation, why hadn't Alston made a move on them?
After thinking for a while, the doubts in my mind gradually came to a general explanation.
It seems that he miscalculated, Auston didn't care about Magnison's life, otherwise why didn't they take the initiative in the situation and launch a thunderous attack at the first time when Xia Lan appeared? Logically suspicious!
Xia Lan suddenly had a hunch that the other party seemed to have been deliberately distorting and misinterpreting his cognition.
"Adelinea! Cover me with all my might to break through in the direction of the eastern harbor! ”
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and Xia Lan suddenly made a decision, without considering the right or wrong of the result.
Adelina with the "Gale" in her hand heard Xia Lan's order, and did not hesitate to attack the Templars on guard in the east, and slashed the opponent with a single blow.
"Chase!"
Auston took a deep breath, his voice was cold and solemn, Auston, who was always paying attention to Adrina, sensed her intentions the moment she moved, but he didn't have time to stop it, her speed was too fast, it was like a black lightning, and she attacked in front of her subordinates in the blink of an eye.
is also a strong law, he naturally knows the difference in strength between the two sides, the little girl with vertical eyes is indeed very strong, even he is not sure to win the other party, besides, he faintly feels that the throbbing mysterious power in the other party's body does not seem to be really displayed at all.
He values his enemies, but that doesn't mean he fears them.
Only by having a deep understanding of one's own enemies can one make the most of one's strengths and weaknesses in battle and continue to achieve victory.
He and his subordinates pursued quickly, and soon caught up with the other two, but Alston never ordered his subordinates to intercept the attack, because he had been waiting for the right time.
Charan's instinct was right, Auston did care about Magnison's life and death, if an alchemist died because of them, the reputation of the "Radiant Sanctuary" would inevitably suffer a negative impact, but on the other hand, if Master Magnison died at the hands of the "Subversive Fangs", Auston who killed them would undoubtedly become a hero!
Therefore, Auston's initial attack and nonsense were all to stimulate the other party, and make the other party think that he didn't care about Master Magnison's life at all, but the little guy who almost died under his sword finally saw through his intentions, but unfortunately, they found out too late, and from the time Xia Lan stabbed Magnison with his sword, they completely fell into their trap.
If Magnison dies on the spot, he can act with impunity; And if they flee with Magnison, there will definitely be countless people to witness during the escape, and when they chase to a deserted place, even if they kill Magnison by mistake, they can blame the "subversive fangs".
One wrong step, one wrong step, no matter whether they escape or not, they will not be able to get out of their own hands after all.
Seeing that the injured little guy deliberately fled in a crowded place, it seemed that he wanted to use the lives of innocent people to make them afraid to make a move, who knew that this behavior was exactly what he wanted.
I really don't know if I should call him stupid or smart!
Xia Lan's speed has dropped a lot because of the weakening of his body, especially when he is still wrapped in a person, he knows that sooner or later he and Adelina will let the people of the "Radiant Sanctuary" catch up, so he deliberately chose a place with many people in the process of escaping, based on the tenets and reputation of the "Radiant Sanctuary", he concluded that the other party would never dare to attack them, and it turned out that he was right.
It was true that the people of the "Radiant Sanctuary" did not intercept the attack, but Xia Lan felt uneasy for some reason.
Returning to the harbour of the monsoon area, you can clearly see the ruined warehouse area in the distance, where a lot of masonry and timber are piled up, and the busy workers seem to be rebuilding; The port was still full of noise and prosperity, and the sailors gathered around were discussing yesterday's commotion, and perhaps outsiders wondered how the people of Port Louis had behaved in the face of trouble, and why it was as calm as usual when there had been such a big disturbance yesterday.
Don't forget that this is a country where commerce and trade represent a qiē, and the famous saying that time is money is engraved into the bones of almost every Estak trading city-state, as long as commerce and trade are not affected, even if a coup d'état and war suddenly break out in the city-state, it will be difficult to change their daily business life.
Where there are people, there is business, where there is business, there is trade, and where there is trade, there are people of the Estak trading city-state.
Maybe it's irony, maybe it's a compliment, and that's exactly what all the countries of the continent have of the people of the Estak trading city-states.
Charan and Adelinea's rampaging escape attracted the attention of many people, especially the chasers behind them, dressed in Templar armor.
"They want to go to sea!"
Auston stared at the two Xia Lan in the distance, and when they saw each other fleeing into a three-masted ship in the harbor, they couldn't help but snort coldly, did they think they could really escape? (To be continued......)
