When the third gunshot rang out,

The pirates of this treasure chest stronghold finally realized that something was wrong.

The cloud of death hung over everyone's hearts.

......

"No wonder those old henchmen in the game like to play long-range sniping so much, this feeling of taking out the enemy effortlessly is not too cool..."

After Raymond killed the pirates with this shot, he found that none of the pirates in the stronghold had chased them out, and he suddenly became very cautious.

It seems that none of the pirates who chased them out in the first two groups have returned, which makes them alarmed.

"Liar! Philip leads those guys, the hateful nobles are liars! Their promise that no high-level transcendents would intervene was false... The guy who shot must have been a high-level transcendent... They're going to start the clean-up operation!

The little pirate leader in the stronghold felt that he had guessed the truth, and roared frantically: "Everyone get all the hostages out, they won't survive anyway, if they dare to shoot again, let's take this group of little nobles and die together!" ”

"That's right! Anyway, if you can't get together the gold coins, you'll die, so it's better to pull a cushion on your back..."

"I'll just say that the nobles of Philip are not at ease, they want to cut us with a thousand knives, how can they leave us alive... Even if you raise all the gold coins, you will definitely be secretly wiped out. ”

“...”

For a while, the whole stronghold was jumping, and the pirates were excited.

......

"Huh... What does it do? ”

At this point, Raymond was also confused.

They originally thought that the pirates had not chased them out, and they should have planned to hold on to the stronghold as shrunken turtles.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, these guys swarmed into the house, and then walked out with a hostage. Look at this posture, is it a plan to end up together if you don't agree with each other?

"What's going on... How did you get caught so many trial trainees here? What are these pirates trying to do? ”

In the scope, Raymond clearly saw that the group of guys who were being held hostage by the pirates were all gorgeously dressed, completely different from the poor pirate costumes, and they were obviously the students of this trial. He could even clearly see the desperation on the frightened young faces.

Naturally, this group of academies also heard the pirates' shouting just now, and obviously knew that they would face the fate of being "beheaded and sacrificed".

"Ahh Don't shoot, I'm Sim of the Harclay family, Philip's defense officer..."

"Who's going to save me... My mother is the president of the Flower Snake Chamber of Commerce in Aumling, and my family is very rich... Don't kill me..."

"Don't kill me, I can pay the ransom, give as much as I want! I can also call my father to ask your lord for pardon. Ladies and gentlemen, I beg you..."

“...”

The students trembled one by one, weeping bitterly and roaring loudly, completely losing the arrogance of the nobles they once had.

......

Raymond couldn't laugh or cry, and his fingers on the musket trigger slowly loosened.

He never thought that these pirates still hid this hand.

Looking at this, it seems that it has been planned to be used as a shield for a long time?

But after all, no one will spare their lives until the last moment, although the group of pirates shouted fiercely, but they also held the last trace of luck, and no one dared to directly kill the killer.

After all, killing the nobles, no matter what the final outcome is, they will surely die.

......

At this time,

Raymond heard one of the pirates roar with a loud voice,

"You despicable villains who have no integrity at all, Lao Tzu fought for you... The high-level transcendents who said that they don't participate in the trial, it's all liar..."

"If you don't want these students to die, agree to let us go immediately..."

After listening for a while,

Raymond probably understood the reason for the matter, his cheeks twitched, and he muttered, "These guys actually regard me as a high-level transcendent?" ”

It's no wonder that he just killed nearly ten Sequence 8 pirate bosses, and no one can believe that at least one Sequence 9 junior can easily do this.

The current situation is actually more favorable to Raymond,

The pirates all ran to a wide field of vision with the hostages, and in this situation, as long as he shot regardless of the hostages, the "Falcon" had super penetrating power, and the trigger was pulled, and one shot was properly killed.

"It's embarrassing..."

After hesitating for a moment, Raymond let out a long sigh in his heart and gave up his intention to snipe.

He was not cold-blooded enough to let more than a dozen innocent students accompany him in order to achieve his goal.

......

No one shot again for a long time,

When the pirates saw that the threat had worked, their faces lit up, and they thought things had turned around.

But at this time, the mutation was abrupt!

The most desperate thing for them happened...

Someone chose to attack!

Just when everyone was caught off guard, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted in the stronghold, like a flashbang, stinging everyone's eyes and instantly blinding.

......

Raymond was far away, so he was very little affected by the bright light.

There was only a slight discomfort in his eyes, and his vision quickly returned to normal.

It's someone unleashing light magic!

He instantly understood from the shock and blurted out: "Holy Light Spell, Light Burst Bomb!" ”

"What's going on?"

He was completely confused, who did it?

Look at this posture, it seems that there is a third-party force lurking nearby?

Could it be that there is a clean-up operation?

......

In the other tower, the two Shadow Guards were also shocked.

Originally, they watched the pirates prepare a mass massacre of hostages, so they prepared to rescue them. But I didn't expect that before it was their turn to make a move, someone actually took the lead!

"Was it the sniper's accomplice?"

"The attack was decisive... But if you attack in this situation, I'm afraid that a very hostage will die, and the decision is too reckless..."

"Perhaps, they didn't intend to care about the life or death of the hostages."

"It's... Although it was a bloody trial... But it's a little too indifferent, after all, classmates..."

"It looks like it's the Aum Academy Elite Five. A sniper, a priest of the Light, and an ice elemental transcendent and an assassin, and of course, that Arthur..."

"That's... Do we want to control the casualties? ”

"Forget it, this is a normal trial casualty, and we are not qualified to interfere. However, that Arthur... The move was indeed a bit cold-blooded. ”

"This son is decisive and ruthless, and he has the posture of a hero."

......

All the people in the treasure chest gathering point were stung by the bright light just now, and they couldn't see anything for a while.

Before they could react, the muffled chant of magic was over. The temperature around the ground dropped sharply, and a layer of frost quickly formed on the surface.

The snow-white frost flower visibly clinged to the calves of everyone in the stronghold, and when I wanted to pull my legs away at this moment, I suddenly became sticky and sluggish...

"Elemental Ice Method's group control skill, 'Rapid Frost'?"

The more Raymond looked at it, the more surprised he became, these skills were familiar to him.

He immediately guessed that it should be a team that cooperates tacitly.

The "Light Burst Bomb" causes group control of the field of vision, and the "Rapid Frost" restricts the displacement of the target, and next... There should be a wave of explosive output...

This is a classic team attack routine, one of the most common skill sets in the game.

Sure enough!

After two group control skills,

A figure has scurried into the treasure chest stronghold!

The guy looked like an agile cheetah, so fast that one could see only a vague figure.

"Huh~"

Blood-spilled,

The figure wielded a pair of hideous iron claws that shimmered metallicly, ripping the throats of two pirates in the blink of an eye.

"Arthur?"

When Raymond saw the ghostly figure clearly, his face was stunned.

He immediately recognized that guy was Arthur from Orm Academy!

And as soon as he entered, he was followed by an elemental mage with a staff and a priest of the Holy Light with a secret tome.

"The other three of Aum Academy's elite five? Arthur the Tyrant, Jayne the Elemental Apprentice, Vivien..."

Raymond felt that it was too coincidental to find them everywhere, but he didn't expect to meet them here by coincidence.

Moreover, at this time, he clearly saw through the scope that Arthur's guy was in between killings, and he also made a tactical move of "clenching his fists to the sky".

"He's... Tell me to shoot? ”

Raymond naturally understands this tactical action that means "shooting",

Apparently, Arthur mistook him for Gavin!
