Chapter 142: Bloodbath at Burkeburg
The gates of the castle are more than four meters high, fastened with steel bars on thick wooden planks, and weigh several tons.
At this time, just halfway through the gate, Wren charged with all his strength, as if he had been hit head-on by a dragon, the entire wall trembled, and several guards standing on the wall were shocked and fell.
The guards behind the door were startled by the accident, and then they watched in horror as a greatsword pierced through the dent and split a crack in the door.
The greatsword was drawn, and it was quiet outside for a few seconds.
Rumble!
There was another deafening bang that spread throughout the castle, and the gate slammed open through the cracks, and a tall figure rushed into the castle in the debris of the sky.
"Who?"
"Enemy attack!"
"Protect the Viscount!"
The guards finally remembered their duty, shouted one by one, raised their weapons, and surrounded the gate from all directions.
However, the enemy's speed was beyond their imagination.
A few of them were close to the guards, and they didn't even see the appearance of the enemy, only to see a giant sword sweeping over. This sword doesn't have any moves, there is only one word to describe it, and that is - fast!
The sword light flashed away with the figure running at high speed.
The sound of metal clashing was continuous, and the armor on the guards was like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and all the armor was cut open. One of the guards was a transcendent, and he reacted quickly, and blocked it with the long sword in his hand, but he also did not escape the fate of being killed, and his sword was also cut in two.
In a few breaths, five or six guards fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
"Ah......h
"Help me!"
Some of the guards did not die immediately, and let out a terrible scream.
The other guards couldn't help but slow down when they saw their terrible situation. Realizing that the horror of the enemy was by no means something that ordinary people like themselves could deal with, they stood in the open space of the castle, looking at each other one by one, not knowing what to do.
The few transcendents led by them also had solemn faces.
"Go and protect the Viscount!" they looked at each other a few times, and finally gritted their teeth and shouted and rushed into the main building of the castle.
At this moment, the whole castle was shaken.
Rumble!
Wren kills the blocking guards, walks through the courtyard, and crashes directly into the main building's door. The ornate wooden door was smashed to pieces, and a spacious and imposing banquet hall appeared in front of me.
Crystal lamps illuminated the hall as bright as day, and a group of servants, led by the butler, were cleaning up the banquet hall, and the smell of food and red wine remained in the air.
When people saw Wren who broke in, they were all frightened.
"Who are you?"
A dignified-looking butler shouted, "Get out of here." β
Wren ignored him, and in the Voice of All Things, he had already locked the position of Gallowerna. He walked across the banquet hall with his greatsword in his hand, and was about to step up the stairs when a figure came from his side.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that it was the butler.
The butler is a third-level ranger, and out of nowhere, he pulled out a thin sword, the speed is extremely fast, and the swordsmanship is also quite good, and the tip of the sword conjures up silver points of light, enveloping Rayne's whole body.
Wren ignored the rapier and raised his greatsword to slash.
While!
After a crisp sound, Wren continued to move forward without looking back.
The butler was split in half from the shoulder, his right hand still holding the rapier, his gaze full of disbelief. His sword had already pierced the enemy's armor, and he only needed to go a few inches further to stab the heart, but why was it useless?
The death of the butler caused the servants to let out a series of screams and flee like flies.
By the time the transcendent guards stormed the ballroom, Wren had already rushed to the second floor and headed straight for Gallowina's room.
Turning out of the staircase, a thick ice arrow flew in front of him.
The cold air made Wren pause, and when he turned his head, there was a middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe standing in the corridor, holding a magic short sword, and there was a layer of ice shield outside his body.
"Wizard. β
Wren's pupils contracted, and in the eyes of his soul, he saw that the other party was a fifth-level wizard, an elemental envoy specializing in ice spells.
There were wizards under Gallowera, and the level was not low, which surprised Wren.
In the Empire, the status of wizards is extremely high, and every wizard is gifted, and their status is a cut above that of other transcendents.
Wizards have their own pride, and generally only join a certain wizarding force, such as the Wizard Tower of the Duke of Silver Star, or the Academy, to serve more powerful wizards in exchange for the knowledge and wealth they need.
However, it is rare for a wizard to take refuge in someone else.
Even if it is a nobleman, if the other party is not a wizard himself, no matter how high the title is, it is difficult to encircle the wizard to serve.
"Who are you?"
The wizard on the other side asked in a cold voice.
His gaze was grim, and he saw that Wren was wearing heavy armor and holding a giant sword, obviously possessing very strong power, and should be an iron guard.
This made him feel a little relieved, he had seen too many iron guards like this before, he was just brute force, and he could take it away in a wave if he controlled it with a spell.
Wren remained silent and charged in response to the wizard's questioning.
Call......
A strong wind blew in the luxuriously decorated corridor, and Wren rushed halfway through, and a cold breath swept in, instantly forming a thick wall of ice in front of him.
"This wizard has a lot of combat experience. β
This thought flashed through Wren's mind, and the next second, he crashed into the ice wall.
The power of the whole body exploded, and with a bang, the ice wall shattered.
Seeing Wren come out from behind the ice wall, although the charge was interrupted, it still made the wizard's eyes change greatly, the enemy's strength was much stronger than he expected, and the ice wall of the three rings could be broken by brute force.
At this point, Wren was only seven or eight steps away from him.
The wizard didn't think about it, and subconsciously sent a ring of frost.
A bolt of blue energy spread out like lightning under his feet, and it was an ice elemental spell that few people could dodge when dealing with close enemies.
This time, however, the wizard miscalculated.
Wren slammed on the ground, and the whole person soared into the air, avoiding the Ring of Frost.
Like a dexterous cat, he stepped on the wall with his feet, and in a few big steps, he smashed the famous paintings that hung on the wall and approached the wizard's side.
Greatsword swing.
At this time, the wizard had just released the Ring of Frost, and he didn't have time to flash, and watched as the giant sword slashed against his ice shield.
The power on the sword is unimaginably great, and the ice shield is like an eggshell, which can be broken at the slightest poke.
Syllable!
The shield's icy power did not have the effect of freezing the enemy, and the frosty blade sliced through the wizard's body in an instant, cutting him in half.
Having killed the wizard, Wren didn't stop and landed on the ground, rushing to the end of the hallway.
There was a door behind it was the study of Gallowerna.
The door was opened.
Out came a tall man, dressed in delicate silver and black armor, but without a helmet, with a gloomy gaze and a long scar on his cheek, which looked terrifying. He, like Wren, held a greatsword with intricate runes on it, apparently an enchanted greatsword.
Wren looked at it with the eyes of his soul, and his heart became vigilant.
This person has multiple defensive elements, and his strength has also reached level five.
Seventh-level Steel Knight!
As expected, he should be Enoch, the most powerful subordinate of Gallowena, the executor of the plan to capture his family.
Enoch walked out the door and saw the corpse of the wizard on the ground, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Wren seized the opportunity and charged up.
When!
Two figures with similar appearances collided together, and the gap between the fifth-level strength and the seventh-level strength instantly separated the superiority.
Enoch flew backwards into the study and slammed into the wall.
His hands holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, and his face was even more incredible, he had always been proud of his strength, but he was repelled in a head-to-head confrontation.
Enoch could perceive that the enemy's strength was far greater than his own!
If it weren't for his strong defense, the impact of the two swords this time would have been seriously injured.
Wren was also a little surprised, he wanted to kill Enoch with a sword, but he didn't expect the other party to block it.
His figure froze, unloaded the strength of his sword, and rushed into the study quickly.
In the spacious study, only Enoch was still sunk against the wall, and his eyes swept away, but he didn't find Gallowena.
"What about people?"
Wren searched intently, and just now heard the source of Gallovena's voice, and suddenly disappeared.
Before the thought fell, there was an abnormality behind it.
A sharp blade silently stabbed into the crack in the armor, and even with Wren's reaction, it was too late to completely avoid it.
As soon as he turned around, he felt a tingling sensation in his back.
Immediately, the figure of Gallowena was revealed, holding a strange-shaped dagger, and quickly stepped back, diving into the shadows.
"Sixth-level Shadow Warrior. β
Wren was not surprised at all, as early as that trade fair, he had already known the details of Gallovena, a mid-level shadow martial artist, with nearly ten elements, and he was only one step away from being promoted to a high rank.
The only thing that surprised him was that Gallowera's dagger could pierce his own body of steel.
Although it only pierced a little skin, and no blood even came out, this is amazing enough.
Wren frowned, feeling no signs of poisoning.
Gallovena's figure appeared beside Enoch, his eyes were even more shocked, and he even looked at his dagger with some suspicion, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is Your Excellency, and why did you break into Burkeburg?"
Wren certainly wouldn't answer him.
With a thought in his mind, he inspired "Running at Speed", and his speed suddenly increased, and he raised the giant sword in his right hand and used it as a long sword, but he did not have any swordsmanship to speak of, creating destructive power with the purest force.
Rumble!
A sword swept by, like a hurricane.
Gallowina's face turned pale with horror and she desperately dodged away.
As a sixth-level shadow warrior, he also fused the element of fast running, and his speed surged, the blade of the giant sword almost swept past the tip of his nose, and the wind pressure blowing on the sword made his face hurt, and he could barely open his eyes.
Desks, bookshelves, lamps, and decorations were suddenly shattered into pieces by the giant sword.
The whole study was in shambles.
Wren collected his sword and returned, and the second sword was slashed.
Moving at high speed, Gallovena tries to sneak into the shadows, only to find that her shadow does not work, and the greatsword follows her like a shadow, always aimed at her.
Purely faster than speed, Gallovena, which has multiple Agility class elements, is actually a bit faster than Wren.
But in the limited space of the study, this advantage can't be played at all, and Wren's giant sword has a large attack range, and he can't dodge it if he wants to.
In the midst of Gallovena's despair, Enoch finally broke free from the wall.
A charge, swinging his sword at Wren.
The attack of the seventh-level steel knight, the fifth-level strength, and the third-level "heavy attack" element, can burst out with double power in an instant, even if there is a steel body, Wren does not want to carry it hard, so he can only turn around and block a sword.
In the symphony of metals, sparks splashed everywhere.
Wren's body shook for a moment, but Enoch was knocked back, his feet making a series of deep footprints on the floor.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gallowena escaped from the sword.
He retreated into the shadows again, trying to escape through the door of his study.
Wren felt a little tricky, and until then, he didn't want to use any spell-related abilities, and decided to kill Gallovena only with sheer strength and speed, so that no obvious clues would be left behind.
Now it seems that it is a little difficult to use spells.
Once Gallowena escaped from the study and tried to catch up with him again, it would not be possible to do it for a while, and the town of Berke was not far from Longsander, and Gallowena might have already asked for help from the Wizarding Tower.
"There has to be a quick fix. β
Wren hesitated for half a second, then immediately changed his mind.
Under the armor, several tiny bolts of lightning emerged, forming a layer of thorn armor that was difficult to reach with the naked eye.
Wren took a step forward and blocked the door of the study in advance.
Gallowera, who was sneaking, could only retreat, wanting to stay away from Wren, and stand motionless in the corner of the study to avoid being discovered by Wren.
After Enoch stood firm, he rushed towards Wren without hesitation.
Two greatswords clash.
Dangdang, every time the blade hit, there was a piercing pop, and the swinging blade caused huge damage in the study, and even the walls were cut into deep scratches.
Enoch's hands were numb, he could barely hold the greatsword, and he gritted his teeth and insisted.
He found that the enemy's swordsmanship seemed to be inferior to his own, relatively mediocre, and he would only slash back and forth, and after a few swords, he finally found an opportunity and slashed at the enemy's shoulder.
Although he didn't use this sword to its fullest strength, it was enough to inflict injuries.
The giant sword split through the black armor, and then, thick lightning erupted, Enoch was caught off guard, and the electricity spread along the blade to his arm, and his whole body was paralyzed, as if even his brain was stagnant.
"It's over!"
Enoch screamed in his heart, the blade flashed in front of him, he felt like he was flying, and he saw a headless corpse in armor in mid-air, and before he could land, he fell into endless darkness.
In just an instant, Enoch was decapitated.
This change made Gallowina, who was hiding in the corner, look stunned, and then he saw the enemy charge towards him.
"He can see through the shadows. β
Gallowena panicked, this hiding corner forced him to have no way to escape, and the gaped greatsword blocked all retreats.
In desperation, Gallowena, who was usually pampered, completely lost the courage to fight.
The greatsword slashed through the bookshelves and vases, slashing through them, blood splattering, and two bodies falling out of the shadows.
Gallovena didn't die immediately, her eyes glared at Wren, and she asked unwillingly, "Who are you?"
Wren under the helmet was expressionless and didn't make a sound. I want to talk about "Warhammer Wizard" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
