Chapter 4: The Battle of the South Gate
"By the way, why do I always feel that this matter has something to do with you......"
Zheng Jiuye looked back at the blue-haired girl who was following him and asked.
"Uh-huh, hey......"
The blue-haired girl scratched her head and giggled without answering Zheng Jiuye's question head-on.
"I know," Zheng Jiuye sighed, "Let's go, what's that...... Hey, what's your name? ”
Zheng Jiuye wanted to ask the girl's name before, but was interrupted by a sudden explosion at the south gate.
"Sophia......
"Okay, Sophia, huh? Let's quietly leave the backyard. ”
After pushing the straw cart back into place, it is easy to fall off the wall that is not too high by stepping on the edge of the cart. After Zheng Jiuye jumped down from the wall, Sophia also jumped down in the same way with Zheng Jiuye and landed next to Zheng Jiuye.
"Can you put the badge on the block? I don't want to die yet......"
During this process, Zheng Jiuye glanced at Sophia, and found that the other party had not blocked the emblem on his chest...... Even without that insignia, the mere appearance is enough to provoke people to sin.
"Oh......"
Sophia hurriedly tied her clothes and blocked the emblem again.
"What the hell is that emblem? Why are people with this emblem wanted? If it is said that it is an acquired emblem of a felon, this kind of interpretation is obviously unreasonable...... You, as the owner, should know, right? ”
Zheng Jiuye asked as he walked in the direction of the guild with Sophia.
"Huh? That's what the teacher said you couldn't tell anyone......"
Zheng Jiuye sighed. Sophia doesn't look like the kind of person she wants...... But Sophia herself seemed unwilling to give a reason.
In this case, it will be difficult to find the cause.
"Huh? Didn't we go to the South Gate? ”
Sophia looked at Zheng Jiuye, who pushed open the door of a dilapidated building and motioned for Sophia to enter.
"Go to the South Gate...... Now that the south gate must be blocked by a large number of guards, can you get around those people? ”
"Can't ......"
Sophia definitely doesn't have Zheng Jiuye's parkour-level physical flexibility.
"If you can't, just wait here for a while, don't walk around," Zheng Jiuye pulled a backpack from the shelf next to him, put it on his back, turned around and opened the door and went out, "I'll go over and see the situation." ”
In addition to the first explosion at the south gate, there was also a faint explosion from that direction, but it was not as violent as the previous one.
But the previous explosion was too conspicuous...... Maybe the city gates were blown up?
Because the ground was probably basically blocked, Zheng Jiuye ran to a similar position and climbed directly from the house on the side to the roof; Then, under the cover of night from the rooftop, after a few jumps in a row, I found a relatively close place suitable for viewing.
"It doesn't look like it's recovered, and my leg hurts a little...... Okay, that's not a bad location. ”
Zheng Jiuye sat on the roof, then rubbed the position where his thigh had just been connected, and began to watch the situation at the south gate.
"Wait a minute...... Is that a teacher? ”
The south gate was indeed completely blown up as Zheng Jiuye had guessed, and there was a huge hole on it that was burned red around it; In addition, the surrounding ground was also full of different sizes, and Axo was holding a short knife in each hand, holding it flat on his chest, standing at the door of the gate that had been blown up, and confronting a bronzed-skinned, muscular middle-aged man who was about to leave through the gate.
What is more concerning is that the middle-aged man is still carrying a seven or eight-year-old girl behind him - the little girl is lying on the back of the middle-aged man very smoothly, and seems to be asleep.
"What's going on......"
I have never heard of a teacher taking on such a task. The quest board is posted on the blackboard in the underpass, where all members can view other people's quests...... In other words, this is not a task that the teacher takes?
So why is this happening?
"It's going to be a fight again...... Was it just an intermission? ”
The confrontation didn't last long, and the middle-aged man soon struck again.
The middle-aged man didn't have a weapon in his hand, but at the same time as he swung his fist, Zheng Jiuye clearly saw that the middle-aged man's fist was burning with flames flowing like liquid.
"Boom ——!"
At the same time as the middle-aged man's fist fell, an extremely violent fire burst out along with the explosion, raising a large cloud of smoke and dust; The wind pressure from the explosion even blew to Zheng Jiuye, and Zheng Jiuye's cheeks hurt.
"It's a strong ......"
Before Zheng Jiuye's words fell, a short knife flew out of the smoke and went straight to the middle-aged man's throat; Immediately after, Axo also sprinted out of the smoke, holding a short knife in each hand, and stabbed at the arteries of the middle-aged man's arms.
However, the situation that Zheng Jiuye expected the other party to avoid did not appear. Although the short knife did hit the middle-aged man's body, the short knife did not pierce the opponent's body, but accompanied by a burst of sparks, it slashed through the middle-aged man's body.
"Isn't it......? Can't the teacher even break the defenses? ”
Just when Zheng Jiuye sighed, the situation on the field changed again.
Although Yakso's two knives failed to break the defense, they also successfully swung away the opponent's hands, in other words, the middle-aged man was in a state of opening the empty door at this time - at this time, the two short knives in Axo's hands lit up with red light, and slashed at the short knife that was originally thrown out.
The speed of the third dagger, which had been thrown first, but had not yet arrived, suddenly increased in this instant, and it also lit up with a red light; Although the middle-aged man tilted his head sharply at that moment to try to dodge, he still failed to help the girl on his back dodge, and was cut by a short knife from the position of the shoulder with a wound that could be seen on the bone.
"Oh no, if you drag on for a while, Uncle Night Spirit may lose if the big bad guy comes......"
"Big bad guys? The bad guy is the guard, and the big bad guy should be the captain of the guard...... How did I get up by you? Didn't I tell you to stay there? ”
Zheng Jiuye's speed of light reasoning was halfway through and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and then when he turned his head, he saw Sophia who didn't know when he appeared beside him.
This guy even struggled to climb a wall, how could he sneak up on his side?
Sophia pointed behind her, but didn't speak.
"What do you mean by that...... Hiss! That, Mr. Randy, listen to me......"
As soon as Zheng Jiuye turned around, he saw Randy standing in front of him staring at him...... Immediately followed by Zheng Jiuye's whole body, his whole body trembled, and he almost didn't fall off the roof.
What the heck? How did Sophia bring out Teacher Randy?
"Alright, don't talk yet," Randy was holding a bolt-action rifle that was nearly twice as tall as Randy's own, aiming at the positions of the two people who were fighting, "I haven't bothered to pay attention to you ...... yet"
There are many types of Assassins. The words of an assassin like Randy might be more appropriate to describe it in a word from above the earth.
Randy is a sniper.
"Wait, Mr. Randy, are you aiming for ...... in this direction?"
"Of course it's Axol," Randy's trigger was already pulled, "or do you think it's the Eidolls?" ”
"What are you going to do, Mr. Landy? Is this the opposite...... Finish? ”
