97 Rush! Enter the city! (2)
On the dirt road outside the city, a horse-drawn carriage was galloping.
As the fireworks of the alarm behind him rose, it could be seen from a distance that the city head of Fort Colon was in a commotion, and there were constantly guards pouring out of the city, panicked outside the city. All this made the faces of everyone in the carriage a little pale.
"I really didn't expect these people to bring signal flares!" Hulse muffled.
"Now the whole city gate is alarmed, it will be bad if they close the city gate......" Minte activated his eagle eye, staring at the movement of the city gate from afar, and only breathed a sigh of relief after a while, "It's okay, I just went out of the city to set up defenses, and I didn't close the city gate." ”
"The gates of the city will not be easily closed unless there is an invasion by a foreign enemy." "But it's a big battle......
"Brother Huls, will our actions cause trouble?" Amelia asked crisply.
Hulse smiled reluctantly, "The church will never tolerate the Knights of Sayer's overstepping of their authority, and General Colomberg will not tolerate their self-assertions, but at present, most of the National Knights and the Holy Knights are dealing with the invasion of the Abyss in various places, and I can't say to what extent the city is controlled by the Knights of Sayer......" He paused, swallowed his saliva, and said again, "However, as long as we enter the church, there should be no problem!" ”
As he spoke, Hulse's gaze turned to the fire, and as well, Minter and Amelia looked over. Obviously, whether the group wants to break through forcefully or be caught with their hands tied up, they need fire to make a decision.
Agni hugged Layla's increasingly cold body, his brow furrowed, and finally he gritted his teeth and made a decision: "We ...... ...... do that."
……
The carriage continued to gallop without stopping, and the high-intensity action along the way made the whole body feel a little wrong, and it kept making a creaking sound. But Tyre didn't have time to feel sorry for these, compared to the life of Priest Layla, what can a mere carriage count?
The two heavy horses were also panting, and white foam was flashing from their mouths from time to time, but their limbs were still moving vigorously, and there should be no major problems for the time being.
The last part of the outer city was soon coming to an end, and in front of the carriage were already filled with knights of the Knights of Saya and the guards in charge of the city's defenses, and the barricades blocked the entire city gate.
"Intruder, listen! This is the last warning, you have disobeyed the orders of the Marquis of Sayer! Please restrain your hands and stop your aggressive behavior at once......" one of the Grey Shirts cried out, as if trying to make a last-ditch effort.
However, Agni and his party didn't listen to him at all? A furious attack ensued, interrupting the Grey Knight's shouts as he tried to surrender.
"Tu~Tu~Tu~!" The sound of the bowstring was barely audible, and one arrow after another poured out of the carriage and landed on the arms of the gray-shirted knights who were mingling with the guards, screaming one after another. The shouting gray-shirted knight was naturally hit by an arrow, and the swift arrow shot straight into his arm, and at that moment he almost thought that his entire hand was gone, and the violent impact seemed to shatter his bones, but he immediately noticed that the arrow seemed to be different from the usual, and he pulled it out with pain, and then he was stunned.
It was a weapon with no arrows, just a bare shaft sharpened, and thus used as a weapon. Naturally, it couldn't be because the people in the carriage were too poor, and after a little thought, he understood the attacker's intentions - the attacker didn't intend to kill them!
But even so, he lost his combat effectiveness, and his severely painful arm was completely unable to hold a sword. He could only smile helplessly and watch the attacker walk away.
The armed forces were dominated by the Grey Knights, each leading a number of guards to hide behind cover, intending to hinder and besiege these daring attackers. And the goal of that archer is obvious, that is, to make the gray-shirted knight who leads the team ineffective, and without the leadership of the gray-shirted knight, how can the remaining escort force pose a threat to the carriage? As for the white-shirted knights, they don't leave the gates easily.
Seeing Minte's accurate archery skills, which instantly solved most of the nearby gray-shirted knights, Agni couldn't help but give a thumbs up in appreciation, and then shouted loudly-
"Amelia!"
"Look at me!" Standing on the other side, Amelia's voice was full of confidence, and she raised her staff and began to condense her magic essence, casting spells that could clear the barricades.
"Fire Dragon Technique"!
These simple barricades don't require too much magic, just let the fire dragon magic rush along the road, and you can directly rush the barricades to pieces.
A huge mimic fire dragon emerged from the sky and rushed through it in a majestic manner, clearing the way for carriages to pass.
The white-shirted knight, who was the official of the city gate, watched all this, and cold sweat slipped from his back. With this level of breakthrough ability, it is obvious that the combat power of the people in the carriage can even be compared to the Sequoia Knight! With such a small number of people at the city gate, how can they resist it? If the National Knights and the Holy Knights were still in the city, it was okay to say, but now is the time when the city's defenses are weak, and if the attackers are really malicious, then it is estimated that half of the inner city will suffer!
However, as the duty of the city gate officer, it was impossible for him to turn around and run away, and looking at the approaching carriage, he had to shout loudly: "Formation!" Meet the enemy! ”
With his order, the other four white-shirted knights also drew their swords and stood side by side with him, surrounded by several gray-shirted knights. Now we can only delay as much time as possible, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, the city gate official thought.
Watching the carriage cross the final barricade, a pitch-shifting voice came out of the city gatekeeper's throat, "Bow and arrow ready!" ”
There was a creaking sound from the arrow tower at the head of the city, and it was clear that it was ready to shoot.
However, to the surprise of the city gate officer, the galloping carriage suddenly and slowly stopped, and after it was stable, a figure in white armor jumped out of the carriage, and he walked alone towards the city gate after he crossed the heavy horse that was panting and constantly plowing the ground with his horses' hooves.
The sudden change made the city gate official's eyes widen, although he was a little confused about the situation, but he didn't need to fight hard immediately to make him breathe a sigh of relief.
This is, of course, the Agni.
He put the sword back into its scabbard, hung it at his waist, and then raised his hands and smiled harmlessly, and walked forward.
Soon, he and the city gate officer saw each other's faces clearly. The gatekeeper was still the one who went out in the morning, which was a good sign, and it was better to deal with him than with strangers. And the city gate official also recognized him, after all, the generosity of the fire in the morning still made him a good amount of money, so he was impressed.
The city gate official breathed a sigh of relief at this time, since he was a person he knew, and he put on this posture, it was obvious that there should be no need to fight—maybe he could make another profit!
With this in mind, the city gate officer commanded loudly: "Put away your weapons and stay on guard!" ”
As soon as the order was given, his men were a little hesitant, but they obeyed the order and put their weapons back into their scabbards.
