Volume 7: The Chamber of Secret of Blackstone Mountain (Remastered Version) Chapter Seventy-Six: The Chamber of Secrets of Blackstone Mountain (18)

Leaning out from behind the earthen rampart and nailing the pikeman who was trying to climb over the earthen rampart with the crossbow arrow in his hand, Ouyang Wen immediately retracted behind the earthen rampart, and there was a few sounds of bows and arrows hitting the earthen rampart in his ears, he let out a long sigh and completed the crossbow as fast as he could. Bow the arrow, then lie on the ground, move a few steps to the side with your hands and feet, and repeat the previous attack.

There was a snap, like the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, Ouyang Wen turned his head to look and found that it was a player who was shot through the eye socket by a bow and arrow, obviously dying on the spot, and the sound was made by the corpse falling to the ground.

This wasn't the only death that happened here, in fact, almost every few seconds, Ouyang Wen would hear this kind of sound, of course, more screams from injured players, and cries for help!

Judging by these sounds alone, you might think that this is some kind of battlefield in the wilderness, and these players are engaged in a war with the enemy!

But the fact is that this is Alston, the border city of the Alstom Empire, and Ouyang Wen's location is not a wild area, but the central square of Alstom City!

This city, which was densely populated by border trade, is now a hell on earth, full of stumps and broken arms, and corpses everywhere!

Ouyang Wen couldn't help but sigh again, he was just an ordinary player in the Musicians Guild, and the Musicians Guild was just a small guild that didn't even have official guild qualifications and had no more than a thousand people, but he was involved in such a cruel war on such a sunny afternoon, and Ouyang Wen could only lament that his luck was really bad.

He was carrying a crossbow. Bow, slowly poking his head out of the bulk, this is the bulwark that these players have barely made out after paying more than three hundred lives, if it weren't for such a rudimentary defense, I'm afraid Ouyang Wen, like the other players who fell to the ground, would have returned to the cemetery to resurrect a long time ago.

Quickly finding the target, Ouyang Wen took a deep breath and restrained his hands that were still trembling slightly. The bow is not as good as the bow and arrow in terms of range, but because it can be held with both hands, it is far more accurate than the bow and arrow with one hand, but even so, an ordinary player like Ouyang Wen who has not undergone professional training can't easily do it if he wants to kill the enemy with one hit.

Slip the target into the crossbow. The crosshair of the bow, Ouyang Wen pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow shot by relying on mechanical power passed through a distance of more than ten meters, piercing into the shoulder of the swordsman who crossed the earthen barrier and pressed a player to the ground, and was about to cut down with the long sword in his hand.

The impact of the crossbow arrow made the swordsman's movements deform greatly, and the long sword slashed to the ground, and the suppressed player seized the opportunity to stab the swordsman into the neck with the dagger in his hand, and then kicked away the swordsman who lost his life because of the attack on the vital point, and gave Ouyang Wen a thumbs up.

But it's a pity that Ouyang Wen can't see the other party's thanks anymore, a spear pierced his heart from behind, and several bows and arrows pierced his head, Ouyang Wen, who lost his life, was the same as those players who died in battle, the brilliance in his eyes quickly disappeared, and the corpse knelt softly behind the earthen ramparts.

In a small three-story building dozens of meters behind the earthen ramparts, an archer player released the string and sent the arrow into the chest of the attacking spearman, while shouting to his companion behind him, "President, the first line of defense has been breached!" ”

"Send a signal for everyone to retreat to the second line of defense!" A warrior player glanced at the battlefield outside the window, and said, he is not to be cowardly is the leader of the guild Ma Long, familiar people call him mad dog Ma Long, his biggest characteristic is not to die, as long as it provokes him, whether it is the president of the big guild or some famous NPC, Ma Long will not hesitate to rush up and kill him, even if the final result is that he himself is overturned.

The president is like this, and the whole guild is naturally like things, gathering people in groups, don't be intimidated, although the number of people in the guild is only a little more than a thousand, but in the eyes of other guilds, it is an out-and-out hedgehog, looking upset but not daring to move.

But this is not to say that Malone is a reckless man, in fact, if he can manage the president of a guild of thousands of people well, if he has a bad brain, I am afraid he will not live for so long.

"President, what the hell is going on? Why are these NPCs suddenly attacking us? The archer asked, pulling a signal arrow from his quiver behind his back and shooting it.

Ma Long put on his helmet: "I don't know the specifics, I just know that the sky is going to change!" ”

"It's going to change!" Silbay looked at Alstom, which was gradually enveloped in gunsmoke in the distance, and said sadly, "How is the situation?" ”

"I've been rescued! However, most of the cavalry who entered Alstom with the marshal were killed in the battle, and we only brought out less than twenty of them, and a small half of them were seriously wounded, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to even ride a horse! A knight player wiped the blood from his helmet and replied.

"What about Marshal Wendthall?"

"Stay with those cavalry! What's going on anyway? Why has the entire city of Alstom become a stronghold of evil? When they rushed out, the usually polite and approachable residents turned into irrational murderers in the blink of an eye, and the color was simply red and purple! "In order to protect that marshal, less than fifty of the two hundred brothers we rushed in survived, including equipment and mounts, which is not a small loss!" ”

Detecting evil is a skill that knights, especially paladins will master, using this skill has almost no consumption, but it will perform a faction check on all targets within ten meters of the surrounding area, according to good, neutral, evil and orderly, neutral, chaotic are divided into nine different faction tendencies, from orderly good to chaotic evil, targets with different tendencies will emit different colors of light, so that paladins can judge which ones are enemies and which ones are friends!

Only targets with evil tendencies glow red, orderly evil is reddish, neutral evil is crimson, and chaotic evil is almost black. If it's red and purple as he said, it's almost chaotic and evil!

Silbert glanced around, the team of five hundred people that originally belonged to his command was now less than half of them left in such a big battle, and many of them were still injured: "Don't care about those losses, as long as we can safely escort Marshal Wendsol to Avias, the guild will make up for all our losses!" ”

"Captain Silbe, we don't care about those losses!" Another knight player walked over, his left hand was only his upper arm, and due to the lack of a strong enough priest, he could only hastily stop the bleeding and bandage it, so as not to die from excessive blood loss, "No one has cared about that loss since we joined this team, but we have to know why this happened!" If this is the case in every city after that, let alone our people, even if it is ten times more, it will also be the result of total annihilation! ”

"I don't know the details, but judging from the current situation, there must be some huge secret in Avias, and that marshal obviously went to Avia for this purpose, no matter what is hidden in that imperial capital, we must escort Marshal Wendsol there safely, this is the president's order!" "As for the danger, I don't deny it, but when I left Phinea City, I had someone report back to the guild, believing that reinforcements were already on the way!" ”

At this moment, a loud shout was heard in the distance, and I saw a player riding on a war horse, beating the war horse under his crotch desperately, and even destroying the horse's physical strength.

When he was about to run in front of Silbe, the already exhausted war horse stumbled, its front hooves weakened, and it fell to the ground, and the player on horseback also flew up and fell heavily in front of Silbe.

At this point, everyone realized that the player had several arrows stuck in his body, and blood was flowing from the wound.

"Silkworm baby, what's wrong? What's going on? "The player with the severed arm recognizes this guy as the companion sent to investigate, named Celestial Cripple, an assassin, but often referred to as a silkworm baby because of his funny behavior.

The assassin Tian Remnant spat out a mouthful of blood: "Captain, go quickly, the chasing soldiers, the chasing soldiers are coming, it's the city guards!" The entire city guard has been killed! ”

"I see, don't talk! Priest! Come a priest! Someone here needs treatment! ”

"It's useless, vice-captain! Don't waste time, you guys go! I escaped alone, everyone else is dead, and if you don't leave, you will have to go back to the resurrection like me! Tian Remnant forced a smile and waved his hand lightly at Silbe and the others, as a scout, it is naturally impossible to choose a mode with low degree of freedom and low realism like ordinary players, so the pain and dying experience on the body is much stronger than those ordinary players, and those who can still remain conscious in this situation can only be said to be trained by dying more than usually.

In fact, due to the special death experience of the world of Entagre, those who insist on fighting on the front line after experiencing death are all guys with strong enough nerves, and most of the weak obediently choose life occupations or low-intensity battles, so don't look at the total number of players, but only a small part of them can actually participate in the battle.

Silber gently shook the hand of the heavenly remnant and stood up: "Gather immediately, let's leave here immediately!" ”

"But what about the wounded soldiers?"

"Let them scatter and run, and run as much as they can! In this situation, we can't throw everyone into this bottomless pit! Sylbe showed his determination at this moment, and he was able to give such an order without hesitation, undoubtedly with an iron will, "Tell Marshal Wendthor that we can't just march towards the next town, God knows if there are more enemies waiting for us there, we must first make a detour, throw off the pursuers of Alstom, and wait until the Guild's reinforcements arrive before making the next decision!" ”

"Don't tell me, I heard it!" I don't know when, Wendthor was already standing not far away, "I want to thank you for your help!" I didn't expect the situation to get so bad! ”

Silbe and the two assistants beside him glanced at each other, and said to Marshal Wendsol: "Your Excellency, I would like to know what is going on, but first I must confirm our mission and escort you to Avia City, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"Maybe you can consider returning to Phinea City, maybe the Imperial army there is still loyal to you, with the help of the Imperial army, I believe you can reach the imperial capital of the Armnas Empire more safely!"

"No, I can't take that risk! In this life-or-death moment, I don't have the time to make other choices, and the entire human race doesn't have time to make other choices! I must see His Majesty Irenus as soon as possible and expose all this! ”

Sylbe sighed: "Okay! In that case, I will do my best to help you reach Avia safely, but to be honest, my men and I are not familiar with the situation in the Arnas Empire, and what do you think we should do next? ”

Wendthor rode his war horse: "This is the Aston Province of the Armnas Empire, according to the current situation, I am afraid that the entire province has already been infiltrated by evil, and it is impossible for us to enter any city to use the teleportation array!" ”

Since the division of the Griffin Dynasty, the Terrans have changed from one empire to twelve countries, because there are often large and small wars between these countries, so the teleportation arrays of the countries are not connected, which is the opposite of the three empires of the undead, therefore, it is impossible to go to the city of Avia with the teleportation arrays of other countries, they can only teleport through the empire's own urban teleportation array.

But now this road is obviously not working, it was only when Marshal Wendthor arrived at the central square of Alstom City and wanted to enter the teleportation array, only to find that the teleportation array had been closed, and they were surrounded by those ill-intentioned residents.

Sylbey, who had been following from a distance with a part of the team, saw that the opportunity was not good, and while personally returning to the outside of the city to gather people to respond, he asked his assistant to rescue Wendsol, which led to the current result.

"In this case, it is impossible to go east, this is the location of the provincial capital Marston, and the city guards and the Imperial legions stationed there are not for us to deal with!" Silbert said.

In fact, not to mention the city guards of the provincial capital, even the city guards of a small city like Alstom, they are not able to deal with them, among the armies of every country, each legion is the most powerful, and the soldiers of these legions, no matter what rank, must be the highest level under that rank, and the evolutionary form is generally higher; The second is the city guard, which is generally at a medium level and has a low level of evolution, but due to the city where it is located, the city guard generally has a large number base.

Although the player may be able to compete with the soldiers of the city guard in terms of individual strength, in the real battlefield, unless you have absolutely strong personal strength, no amount of blood can withstand a round of dense arrow rain baptism on the opposite side, not to mention that the NPC army also has a reasonable career configuration, as well as weapons prepared to deal with various situations.

In the face of a hail of bullets and arrows, it is impossible for players to win head-on!

"From the west, less than fifty kilometers after bypassing the town of Semida is the border between the provinces of Aston and Rema, unlike the province of Aston, the province of Rema is governed by the Imperial Duke of Miseta Rema, and two of the seven legions of the Empire are stationed there, and I believe that it has not yet been controlled by evil!" Wendthor said.

"Well, that's it!" Sylbe also had no better route, "Now I only hope that your enemies have not sent more forces to destroy us!" ”

"Captain, what do you mean?"

"Mercenaries!" Sylbe pointed to the dust raised in the distance, it was the city guards chasing after them, "Even the official city guards can control it, and it is not difficult to secretly control some mercenaries, right?" ”
