Chapter 214: Beheading
After resting, Shepard, who was refreshed, left the hall with a changed dress, and planned to rush to the dock after identifying the direction.
"My merchant ship is docked at the docks, but now is not the time to go back, you follow me now, and when we pass by here again, I will arrange for someone to bring your grandmother with me, and when I return to my manor, I will arrange a place for her to live."
Shepard casually comforted Qiu Lixi, the half-elf girl just listened quietly, and occasionally nodded obediently, anyway, she had already sold herself for a long time, and she was indeed not in a hurry for this time.
Seeing that the dock was in sight, Shepard was certainly relaxed, but Qiu Lixi was inevitably very worried, and glanced in the direction of the civilian area with some reluctance, and suddenly exclaimed: "What is that?" ”
Shepard tilted his head and saw a large group of men in Traveler's robes hurrying towards the docks, but behind him were three swordsmen with long swords chasing after him, and he recognized them after just a glance, which was exactly what the Watchers looked like.
Since the pursuer is the watchman, it is not clear who is being hunted and killed, Shepard grabbed Qiu Lixi's forearm, pointed out to her which ship in the dock was his own merchant ship, and whispered: "You go there first, and if someone asks you, it will be the Earl who asked you to come, and then let everyone be ready to anchor, and I will leave as soon as I return." ”
Qiu Lixi covered her mouth and looked at Shepard in surprise, but she was urged by him again and again, so she had to run to the merchant ship without looking back.
At this time, the sound of chaos can be heard, the battle between the watchers and the cultists has left the civilians with no choice but to hide in the house or flee in a hurry, but the powerful enchanted weapons of the watchers will inevitably affect the houses on both sides of the avenue, and the cultists who are being hunted down are not good people, and they even deliberately attack the civilians who are watching and the guards who are hurrying to add to the chaos.
"You hypocritical lackeys! Look at it, all this chaos, all this death, you have brought it! If you didn't do much, we would have secretly left this city a long time ago, and now these innocent civilians have been killed by you! ”
One of the cultists clustered in the center could be recognized at a glance by his gorgeous clothes and unusual status, and at this moment, the man who seemed to be the leader of the cult waved the odd-shaped dagger in his hand and loudly denounced the watchers who were chasing them in the rear.
The three watchers didn't say a word, and they didn't even make eye contact with each other, but they cooperated seamlessly, and with a flick of their long swords, flames erupted, and in an instant, the two cultists behind the palace lit the sky lanterns.
Hundreds of cultist brigades were dwindling, and these crazy creatures were deliberately setting fire to the surrounding buildings to stall for time, laughing at the screams and wails of civilians before being struck by the watchers who caught up.
"It's really a scum who can't remember what to eat." Shepard snorted coldly, and raised his hand to catch the elven longbow [Smaug's Resentment (Refined Elven Longbow)] that had fallen out of the half-plane, and had been with him for a long time since it was given to him by King Landil as a witness to the Covenant.
Pulling out the longbow, the bowstring made of dragon tendons mixed with elven long hair was tightened, and the extremely hard bow body was stretched into a semicircle, and the arrows on the bow body were placed, and the next moment the hand was loosened, and the slender arrows suddenly shot out with a sound of breaking through the air.
The leader of the cult who was roaring suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and immediately pulled a subordinate from his side to block in front of him, and the next moment the cold light suddenly shot out, and the subordinates who were used as meat shields screamed and were shot through the head, and the longbow made of dragon materials was amazingly powerful, and the arrow shot through the meat shield was only slightly stagnant, but the cunning cultist leader had decisively dodged it, so that although the arrow shot two people in a row and then shot through the chest of the third person, it was no longer a threat to him.
The sudden attack even caused the surrounding cultists to suddenly fall silent, and the three watchers glanced at Shepard in the distance, and after one glance at each other, they were still silent and slashed the cultists.
With a bang, one of the cultists suddenly rushed out with a big shield in his hand, blocking the long sword of a watchman, and the flames on the sword suddenly exploded, and the sparks splashed beautifully, but how could the cultist with the big shield have the heart to look at this scene, he just shouted without hesitation: "For the great cause, witness me!" ”
After saying that, he rushed straight to the watchers, but instead of attacking, he relied on his advantage of a shield to block these people, and the cultists he saved ran backwards, not forgetting to shout breathlessly: "I witness you!" For the great lord! ”
"It's ridiculous...... Shepard smiled coldly, seeing the cultists rushing into the dock area, cluttered with each other's goods and fleeing dock laborers, etc., making it difficult for him to shoot arrows again, look left and right, those merchants and caravans have either closed their doors, or have already ordered their own guards to guard the side of the ship or warehouse, obviously no one intends to stop these guys.
The longbow flipped and tossed back into the half-plane, and Shepard pulled out his sword, the skin inlay on his body refracting a dull light in the sunlight, and he strode forward, heading straight for the cultists.
With a loud shout, the divine sword rays more than ten meters long were dragged out by him with his sword, jumped into the air, flipped in the air, and the golden-white divine sword qi that was ten times larger than the [Evil Breaking Slash] of ordinary holy warriors slashed towards the center of the cultist.
"Ahhh Protect Your Majesty! ”
More than a dozen loyal cultist guards roared and pounced, and without hesitation they tried to block the unstoppable blow in the air, but after the sword fell, it suddenly dissipated as soon as it touched the weapon or shield that blocked it.
Shepard laughed and fell from the sky and headed straight for the cultist leader, laughing and saying, "Your Majesty? I caught a big fish! ”
The long sword penetrated the divine power, and the divine power more than a meter long condensed and formed, and several guards who were still guarding the cultist leader's side roared and waved their weapons, smashing the flail, big axe, and long sword at Shepard's body.
However, the assassin laughed, shook off the attached divine power with a shake of his hand, and flew out more than a dozen arrows of light, not only seriously injuring several people in an instant, but the rest of the people were also pulled by the arrows of light, unable to stop in front of him.
Although the number of cultists was hundreds, most of them were not worth mentioning in his eyes, and at this moment, seeing that the cultist leader had no more guards around him, Shepard shouted, as if he pounced on the cultist leader without hesitation.
The cultist leader known as the crown was full of horror, as if he was so frightened that he lost his reaction, and could only be easily slashed under the sword, but just as Shepard was about to rush in front of him, the cultist leader suddenly smiled sinisterly, and the dagger in his hand waved again and again, and a red light that emitted a strange aura flew at Shepard.
"Roar!"
At the same time, four or five cultists suddenly let out an inhuman roar, and the form shrouded in black robes suddenly expanded and expanded, and the process of mutating into fallen monsters was completed in a breath, and they roared and pounced on the assassin who seemed to be caught off guard.
