Chapter 398: Reaching the New Town
In an instant, without waiting for Zhao Xu and the others to explain, the archers standing on the high slope immediately threw themselves towards the two of them.
The whole process is seamless and seamless.
Perhaps, Zhao Xu already understood that this matter could not be good when he saw those brass treasure chests piled up at the feet of several people.
Arthury, against the professionals, in addition to using adventurers to balance adventurers, the rest of the forces rely on cavalry phalanxes and bow and arrow phalanxes.
Ordinary civilians and mercenaries are trained in armor and equipped with spears to charge, and ordinary adventurer squads are indeed difficult to resist.
Zhao Xu at this moment is not an ordinary adventurer team.
When the first wave of arrows that had not been blessed with magic fell on Zhao Xu's body, most of them were blocked by his high mage armor ability.
Invisibly, he had already filtered the first wave of attacks.
And the remaining luck penetrated the force field armor, and the arrows that landed on him that did not dodge were also directly destroyed by the cloak on his body.
This scene directly saw the hearts of the two young cavalry leaders under their command shake, and for a while they thought that the other party had cast a demon spell.
At the same moment, those cavalrymen with spears also rushed towards Zhao Xu, and the sharp tips of their spears stabbed straight at him.
In an instant, both Zhao Xu and Vivian drove their abilities and flew towards the sky.
"This is? Ability to fly? ”
The resolute young man couldn't help but frown, thinking that he might have kicked the stone.
It was only immediately that he became more convinced.
As long as the two in front of him saw everything in the lair, he couldn't safely let each other go back.
This is also the reason why when they heard that the super giant mutant scorpion appeared, they immediately recruited cavalry to come to the lair to check, that is, to recover what was originally placed here.
At this time, Zhao Xu flew into the sky, looking at the people below who were like ants.
When the mage has the ability to fly, general terrain obstacles are no longer a problem, and at the same time, it is necessary to bring enough air troops to capture the mage.
Seeing this, he only snorted, thinking about how to target the cavalry below.
It's really like he's good-tempered, so he just doesn't say a word, and he just wants to do it.
"President."
At this time, Vivien's expression was serious, and the wings behind her had become white, like angel feathers.
She completely exudes an incomparably sacred aura, no longer the previous state of combining innocence and charm.
"What's wrong?"
"I suspect that the nest was the setting of some kind of evil ritual." Vivien said.
"When I was in the corridor just now, there were a lot of human bones left on the ground, obviously not piled up and buried there in the past, but the result of these mutant scorpions not being able to carry them."
Zhao Xu also recalled.
This is what the warrior named Northland recalls to him, and the roof of the lair was hung with corpses, some of which were even imprisoned in cages.
And when they just broke in, they saw only the hook on the ceiling, and nothing else.
Thinking of this, his face also became gloomy.
"Are you the ones in the lair?" Zhao Xu suddenly accelerated and hurried, swept to a close place and asked the two young men.
Suddenly, the faces of both of them were very gloomy, "You saw it?" ”
"How much more do you know?"
Immediately, the resolute young man shouted at the mutant scorpions around him, "Kill him!" ”
At the same time, the bracelet on his hand directly inspired a mysterious glow.
In an instant, the mutant scorpions that had been dormant all rushed towards Zhao Xu one by one.
Zhao Xu silently closed his eyes, knowing that there was no room for good negotiations.
The night was instantly stained red with blood.
---------------------------------
Dawn.
"Hurry up, you guys hurry up." A middle-aged man in uniform, who looked like a butler, sat on a horse, urging the cavalry behind him.
However, his voice had no effect.
This neat and uniform heavy armor is all silver and shiny, and all the heavy war horses under it are full of energy, even if they drive thousands of miles.
"Mr. Butler, don't rush." Another sturdy young commander persuaded.
A scar slid down from his forehead to his chin, but it didn't damage his murderous aura at the moment, which was completely a battle-hardened demeanor.
The heavy cavalry behind him all looked at him with his horse, and their pace and speed were the same as his.
"Hey, how can it, the old housewife saw that the second young master hadn't come back early in the morning, and she was worried about death, so she directly urged me to come over and see what was going on."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have privately mobilized your border troops to help." The middle-aged man who looked like a butler explained.
At this time, the sky has just dawned, and the rooster has only crowed for a round, and most people are still hiding in the warm bed and curling up at this time.
However, this border army is full of energy at this moment, and even the entire momentum has been condensed as one.
"I guess they're overdoing it by seeing some of the good-looking women among the fugitives." The leader of the prime-aged cavalry said contemptuously.
"Don't look down on the second young master so much, he has been trained in the army in the past two years and has become much calmer."
"Calm? As he came to secondment to patrol the cavalry, he was accompanied by a pig friend and dog friend on weekdays, which in my opinion is difficult to move. "Maybe when you arrive, they're camping and happy." ”
Suddenly, the cavalry commander grabbed the reins in his hand.
"Something is wrong, the smell of blood is too strong."
Hearing this, the butler seemed to feel the blood pressure in his mind soar a little more.
He hurriedly drove the war horse under him to gallop rapidly.
It wasn't until he got around a boulder in front of him that he nearly fainted and almost fell off his horse.
The entire hillside, the patrol cavalry that had been dispatched yesterday, were all dead, scattered like chess pieces on the high mountain.
One by one, the cavalrymen lay neatly on the ground, without the slightest reaction or awareness.
There were no wounds on their bodies, not even the armor they were wearing, not even any broken parts.
"Who did it?" Although the patrol cavalry was not the strongest combat force of their border army, seeing this scene still made his head bleed and incomprehensible.
At this time, when I looked up, this originally peaceful hill seemed to have been deeply crushed by a boulder, and countless armor and weapons were scattered all over the ground.
The strong man's mind kept thinking, wondering if the border guards of the opposite principality were attacking across the border.
"Where's the young master?" The housekeeper saw that the cavalry brought by the second young master last night had become like this, and he was even more worried about his safety.
"There." At this time, Zhuang Chinese's breath was cold, full of deep cold.
He looked at the treetops in the distance, and on top of the big tree also hung two young men in ragged clothes, whose armor was shattered and fell to the ground.
It can be seen from the other party's completely pale face that he has been dead for a long time, and his body is frozen and stiff in this barren mountain and wilderness.
The butler looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief and immediately burst into tears.
And the strong man commander is also mentally scolding at the moment, and the alliance is probably going to be chaotic for a while.
----------
Zhenyu City is the closest alliance city of the Northern Alliance to the Duchy of Xiluo.
At this moment, when the other party was completely likely to fall into a special time point of full-scale civil strife, countless wild tourists and former citizens of the principality rushed to the deadline and came to Zhenyu City to join the Northern Alliance.
And at this moment, even the most lively town gate is even more crowded.
Even the adventurers who are domineering on weekdays, at this sensitive juncture, are honestly waiting in line to enter the city, and they do not make too bold moves.
"That's too much of a fight."
A team of players who had just finished gathering from the field complained that they had been lining up at the gate since the beginning, looking down at the contents of the basket from time to time, their faces burning.
"It's strange, how did you check so carefully today." The fighters in the player's team participated in the arming during this time, and said with surprise.
"Heh, you just came back, didn't you? Didn't you hear that news on the road? At this moment, a fisherman took a sip and swaggered at the line of players in front of him.
"Hey, old man, what do you know?" The insider's Player Warrior was dissatisfied.
"Look at the notice board for yourself." The old man saw that the other party's tone was impatient, and suddenly he had no intention of boasting.
At this time, several players couldn't help but look at the huge sign pasted in the corner of the city gate.
"So just? Where did you come from, you can kill the snake directly. ”
The Warrior player had good eyesight and was the first to see the sign.
His face immediately changed, and he immediately explained to his companion beside him.
"This is a big deal, one of the dead is the nephew of the current leader of the Alliance, Donde. This homicide is completely an act of slapping in the face. ”
At this time, everyone also chatted enthusiastically about the gossip of the deceased before his death, but most of the comments of everyone around him were curses, so they were also happy that someone could clean up the domineering young master.
Chatting and chatting, the focus of everyone's topic also drew to the mysterious killer, and a lot of speculation came out in an instant.
"Identity?"
As time passed, the team slowly moved forward.
At this time, the patrol soldiers stationed in front of them looked at a man and a woman, and asked in a low voice, while the other side was also quietly on guard.
