Chapter 557: Attack
The city of Marnfila is located in the west near the desert area, is one of the more important cities in the west of the empire, the scale of the city is not very large, after all, the climate is really not suitable for farming, the resources in the city are basically obtained by trading, so commerce is quite important in this city, if the trade road is closed, the city will soon lose food supply.
However, at this time, the city of Maenfila looked a little strange, it was obviously daytime, but the city gate was closed, and the city gate was full of guards, and it was obviously on alert, as if it would attack anyone who came close. Seeing this situation, the merchants who were originally going to enter the city to do business had to choose to leave and turn to other nearby cities to trade, it was obvious that there was an emergency in the city, and they did not want to get into such trouble.
At this time, a light suddenly flashed in the sky, and Linton and the others landed at the gate not far from the city with a light. Linton was a little disgusted that the flight time was too long, and the flight speed of his peers was actually very fast, even faster than Linton's Susanoh to fly, but it still took a lot of time to get here.
Of course, except for Linton, the other people were quite excited, because they had a rare experience of the feeling of flying, which can only be experienced by those who have been promoted to the holy level, although they are stained with Linton's light, but this feeling is indeed too amazing.
"My lord, is this the power of the Book of Seals?" Yanaid here said.
"Yes, with the spell power of the situation that seals the card, you can also understand it as a magic scroll." Linton explained simply, "Just now I used the peer skill, which allows the user and the people around him to come to a designated place or person. ”
"Sure enough, it's a powerful divine power." Naturally, a few people had never heard of this kind of magic, and their expressions were fanatical.
"Oh no, the forces of darkness are gathering in the city." Linton frowned, as if sensing something, "It seems that the summoning ritual is about to be successful, and it may be too late now, and the people in the city must be notified immediately to evacuate." ”
"My lord, the city seems to be locked down." At this time, Yanaid also found that there were a lot of soldiers standing at the gate of the city not far away, and the city gate had been closed, so it was obvious that the city was closed.
"Something is wrong, go over and ask." Linton said, waving.
Soon several people came to the gate of the city, and the soldiers immediately picked up their weapons and aimed at several people when they saw them, which was obviously on guard. Linton thought for a moment, walked up directly and asked, "What's going on here?" ”
"The lord of the city has ordered the gates of the city to be closed and no one is allowed to enter the city." A man who looked like a squad leader came out and replied, "Who are you?" ”
"We are a support from the Church of Light." Linton said directly, "Our church's priest, Lord Melissa, should have arrived here, right?" ”
"It's the adults of the Church of Light." The team leader suddenly changed his face, and then said with a smile, "Yes, Lord Melissa is already in the city, and now she is in the City Lord's Mansion, please come with me." ”
As he spoke, the captain of the squad on this side moved out of the way slightly, motioning for Linton and them to come over. Linton nodded and walked straight towards the city gate. But as soon as she took a step forward, Ellie behind her whispered to Linton, "Lord Linton, something is wrong." ”
"yes, get ready to do it." Linton said directly.
After all, several people were also former mercenaries, and Linton's words were still understood, so he immediately prepared secretly. Indeed, the soldiers in front of them behaved too strangely, hearing that a few people claimed to be from the church, they didn't even carefully interrogate to confirm Linton's identity, obviously a few people were not wearing the clothes of the Church of Light at all, of course, the most important thing is that the city gate here has no intention of opening at all, if it is to take them to find Melissa, they should be ready to open the city gate now, so it is obvious that these people just want to call Linton and them over and then besiege them.
Linton is not very clear about what is going on in the city, I heard that it was the people of the Church of Light who were assassinated, and now it seems that it is not as simple as assassination, these city guards are obviously the people of the city lord, which means that at least the city lord has also participated in the assassination of the Church of Light.
While thinking, Linton and a few people have approached the city gate, and the guards at the gate have made a move, but Linton has been paying attention to the movements of this team leader, and he secretly made a gesture to the people behind him, although the action is very hidden, but it was still noticed by the sight and smell, at this time Linton also saw that there were several people on the city wall on the city gate who were secretly watching them, and swept it with what they saw and heard, and a row of archers on the city wall were already hiding behind the battlements and waiting.
"This lord ......" At this time, the distance between the two sides was very close, and the squad leader was also approaching Linton's side, and Linton obviously found that the other party's hand was gently placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, which meant that he was ready to hold himself down first.
"Do it!" Linton shouted directly, and several people behind him immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards the surrounding soldiers. The squad leader here was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted, "Kill them!" ”
All the soldiers immediately reacted and prepared to come forward to surround them, and a row of archers also appeared on the city wall, aiming directly at Linton and the others. Linton looked up at the soldiers on the city wall, and said to Ellie and the others behind him, "Give me the ones above." ”
'Yes, sir. Several people also directly separated and started to move, and Linton directly raised his right foot and kicked it on the ground: "Tu Dun. Tulong guns. ”
With a "boom", a large number of earth thorns suddenly appeared on the city wall, and the archers above were either directly stabbed to death by the earth thorns, or they were hit directly by the huge impact force and fell directly down the city wall, of course, they also fell into a pool.
The archers were almost completely wiped out in an instant, and Linton looked around, it was still very easy for Yanaid and a few people to deal with these ordinary soldiers, it was not a level at all, in just one minute, several people had already killed back and forth among the soldiers, and most of the soldiers were killed in one round.
At this time, Linton also saw the squad leader who wanted to leave while the chaos, originally he thought that Linton was defenseless and wanted to restrain Linton first, but seeing Linton's magic spell killed all the archers in seconds, how could he dare to come up, quickly turn around and run.
"Vientiane Tianyin." However, it was obvious that he couldn't run away, and as soon as Linton raised his hand directly, the team leader was sucked into his hand. At this time, the other soldiers were running away and were basically killed, and Ellie and the others also returned to Linton's side.
"Tell me, what's the situation?" Linton said, holding the team leader.
The "......" team leader was obviously a little scared, but he still gritted his teeth, and it looked like I wouldn't say anything.
"Look at me." Linton thought about it, and a red light flashed in his eyes, and the writing wheel was activated, directly controlling the team leader.
"I am a believer in the Church of Cthulhu, and I have been ordered by the Lord of the City not to allow anyone to enter the city and to kill members of the Church of Light who try to get in our way." The squad leader here spoke. Of course, he is not from the Cthulhu Church at all, but now that he has been controlled by Linton's illusions, he can say whatever he wants.
A few people in the rear saw the situation of the team leader, and they also knew that Linton used some kind of magic to control the team leader, of course, the brainwashed people would not have thought that Linton was still making up the background setting here.
"Is it the Church of Cthulhu? Since this captain of the guard is a member of the church, can it be said that the power of the church has ......?"
"Could it be that the lord of the city is also from the church of Cthulhu?" Linton asked directly.
"Yes, the lord of the castle is our leader." The team leader said directly.
"Sure enough." Linton nodded, "I didn't expect that even the city lord has been infiltrated, and sure enough, the Cthulhu Order is pervasive." ”
Several people behind him also nodded.
"In this way, the master of the servants who want to summon Cthulhu is the city lord, and the people who attacked the Church of Light may have discovered the city lord's actions, and now that the attack has escalated, the situation of their public actions also shows that their ritual should be almost successful, so there is no need to scruple." Linton said.
"My lord, what are we going to do?" Yanaid asked.
"What about the people of the Church of Light?" Linton asked the squad leader.
"The people we attacked the church sent the night before, but the assassination failed. Their people fled into the city to hide, so the lord closed the city and is now searching for them. Judging from the current situation, they should be hiding in the slums north of the city, which is more chaotic and suitable for hiding. The captain replied that this was the truth, and that it was not Linton who controlled him.
"So it looks like Melissa won't be hiding for long." Linton said, "A few of you will immediately go to the north of the city to find Melissa and them, explain the situation to them, I will go to the city lord's mansion first to see if I can find the location of the ceremony, maybe there will be time to organize." You came as soon as you met with the people of the church, understood? ”
"Yes, sir." Several people nodded immediately.
Then Linton inquired about the location of the City Lord's Mansion, and then directly with his right hand, he solved the team leader, anyway, what he should have said has already been said, and he can kill people.
At this time, another group of people came to the city, obviously coming towards them, and it should be the patrol team in the city who discovered the movement here and came to check the situation. Linton waved his hand and said, "Leave it to me, and you guys hurry up and join the people of the church." ”
"Yes, sir." There was no need for a few people to worry about the strength of the Linton Saint level, and a few people also nodded and ran towards the north of the city.
So Linton and the others split up and set out to act.
