Chapter 155: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High

late at night

The lively town of Richie seems to have fallen into a deep sleep like people,

The nightlife in Ridge Town is not abundant, although the flow of people here is not small, but almost all of them are tourists and caravans, and few people will go out at night without rest to find entertainment.

The town's night industry has not developed,

Several days of rain also made the moon covered by dark clouds.

Except for a few inns and torches lit in the square in the center of the town, there was hardly a glimmer of light,

It's really a scene where you can't see your fingers,

Such a scenario is suitable

homicide

"Boom, boom..."

Outside the hotel where Richard and the others were staying, there was a faint sound of footsteps,

If you look closely, you can find that there is a black head outside the courtyard of the hotel.

The group was wrapped in night clothes, and some of the exposed armor was wrapped in black cloth,

If you drill into a place where there are no torches, you will almost completely blend into the darkness without revealing any flaws.

"Lord Hussein, they're in the room on the second floor of the inn."

"Hmm."

Apparently Richard was under the watchful eye of the church every step of his way into the town.

Then, Hussein made a gesture, and several elites of the Order climbed the outer wall of the courtyard with their quenched crossbows,

These people were obviously very good at it, and they barely made a sound before climbing the courtyard wall,

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

The bowstring trembled slightly, the specially made crossbow made a faint sound, and several quenched arrows galloped out,

But the target of these arrows is not, Richard and the others who live in the room,

Instead, he shot into the yard,

Although the elites of the Order are confident, they still do a good job of preparation.

The poisonous scorpion lion that Richard was carrying, it was difficult for them not to pay attention to it,

The senses of animals are much more sensitive than those of humans most of the time, and if they want to sneak attack, the first thing they have to do is to defeat the war beasts brought by Richard.

The vencanticore lion was lying in the stable of the hotel,

In order for everyone to be at ease, Richard also continued to do the same, and tied the poisonous scorpion lion to the post of the stable with a hemp rope,

However, because the pressure of the poisonous scorpion lion was too heavy, the surrounding horses couldn't stand it, so Richard could only pay for it alone and give the poisonous scorpion lion a stable to himself.

"Roar!"

Before the venomous arrows arrived, the scorpion lion already felt threatened, suddenly woke up from its deep sleep, and immediately roared.

In the roar, several sharp arrows flew in, and the poisonous scorpion lion shook its tail and shot down two sharp arrows.

But apparently due to the rush of time, the manticore lion did not avoid all the arrows, and there were still arrows that hit the body of the manticore.

However, although the scorpion lion looks like a crispy skin, it actually has extremely resilient skin.

These crossbow arrows that can directly pierce armor at a short distance have just broken through the poisonous scorpion lion and are stuck in their muscles.

For a beast like a poisonous scorpion lion, such an injury will not affect the battle at all in a short period of time.

As for the venom quenched on the arrow,

hehe

Maybe if it shoots at Richard, it can do some work,

It's really funny to shoot at the poisonous scorpion lion, and the poison on the poisonous scorpion lion is much more ruthless than the poison quenched on these arrows.

"Damn it!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

The poisonous scorpion lion roared, making the hiding of Hussein and others completely meaningless, and there was nothing to hide at this time, and the sneak attack directly turned into a surprise attack,

The advantage is still there,

"Doo, doo..."

Dense arrows shot into the room on the second floor,

"Ahh

With mental calculations or unintentionalities, there were casualties among Richard's men.

But fortunately, most people woke up when the manticore roared.

reacted immediately,

At this time, Richard had already hid on the side of the bed, and even had a cloth armor on his body.

Most people are in a similar situation to Richard.

It may have been a little slower than Richard's, but now the night began to put on his armor,

This may also be one of the benefits of cloth face armor,

Compared to plate armor or other heavy armor, cloth armor is much more convenient to wear, and if you don't wear something like all-metal gauntlets, you can easily put it on alone.

"Doo, doo..."

"Damn, get out!"

After the first round of the rain of quenched arrows, the men and horses of the Knights found that it was not effective to continue shooting, so they directly replaced them with rockets.

Didn't care about the other travelers in the hotel,

The dense flames quickly ignited the room of Richard and the others,

Fortunately, Richard and others live on the second floor.

After the other party attacked with fire, he didn't dare to continue to observe, and immediately broke the window and jumped out.

With Richard and Zebuble at the head,

The other Northland soldiers who followed jumped out of the window at night,

Although these people are not masters, they are also elite soldiers, and the second floor is not too high for them.

Except for one unlucky guy who broke his foot, everyone else landed safely,

"Roar!"

The imaginary third round of arrow rain did not come,

Originally, when Richard and others broke out of the window and landed, they would inevitably experience a round of arrow rain.

In that kind of situation without cover, encountering a dense crossbow attack at close range,

I'm afraid that the whole team will have to kneel except for Richard and Zebuble,

But apparently, there was confusion in the opposing team,

The venom manticore was not idle, and the hemp rope that held it was very ridiculous when it really wanted to break free.

As soon as the sharp scorpion tail is cut, the hemp rope is easily broken.

As soon as the Knights unleashed a second round of fire, the manticore pounced.

With a sweep of the sharp scorpion tail, it reaped the lives of several crossbowmen at the head of the wall.

And the scorpion's efficient killing efficiency has obviously caused confusion among the crossbowmen,

These people subconsciously turned their fire towards the poisonous scorpion lion beside them, but in the face of the poisonous scorpion lion that entered the battle state, they all shot into the air.

"Roar!"

The manticore scorpion pounced on another member of the Order, biting off his neck in one bite.

"This lion can fly!"

At night, feline beasts are much more terrifying than humans...

"Damn it!"

Hussein clenched his fists heavily, obviously very dissatisfied,

Forget if the sneak attack fails,

The intelligence of this war beast is obviously not in place, it is much stronger than they estimated,

Before the people on the other side came up, this lion-like war beast caused huge casualties to its own side, and even brought a little panic in the dark night.

If it weren't for the fact that the people he brought with him were all warriors of firm faith, maybe this one war beast would have caused them to have an unstable ranks.

"Hodder, Zoth!"

"In!"

"You take people in and get rid of them!"

"Yes!"

Hord and Zoth are also captains in the Knights,

Although the start was not good, Hussein did not feel that Richard could escape from him.

The power of this church dispatch is not luxurious,

Because I know that Richard himself has the strength of a great knight, and there may be many big knights around him,

This time, the church directly sent the earth-level Hussein, two captains of the great knight-level and hundreds of elites, in order to make a contribution.

"Boom!"

After the two of them led the team into the hospital, Hussein also raised his sword to face the poisonous scorpion lion.

The manticore's damage to the team was too great, and Hussein decided to take out the manticore.

It's never too late to go back and join the battle in the courtyard...
