Chapter 293: Breaking through the defensive line

"Do as you command, my master."

Hoggs, the commander of the army, answered, and immediately led the Shadow Legionnaires behind him towards the blocked street in front of him.

Then Roland just had to wait here for that line of defense to collapse, and almost nothing had to be done.

This conspiracy to stop Prince Lorenzo mainly relied on a group of shadow legionnaires. Basically, as long as you get rid of those royal guards, or capture Lorenzo, there will be no change in this matter.

At this time, the Shadow Legionnaires relied on their stealth skills to keep approaching the line of defense formed by the royal guards, without attracting anyone's attention.

Maybe the stealth skills of the Shadow Legionnaires are not very advanced, but they are enough to deal with these ordinary soldiers.

As time passed, the distance between the two kept getting closer.

As soon as the Shadow Legionnaires approached a certain distance, Hoggs made a gesture to stop the soldiers behind them.

Now it is the maximum distance, and if you continue to advance, you may be detected by the other party.

They need to surprise each other before a head-on confrontation.

"Ready...... Salvo! ”

Hoggs, the commander of the army, sneered and waved his raised arm down.

With a snort, all the Shadow Legion soldiers took their longbows off their backs, bent their bows and arrows, and aimed them at the royal guards three hundred meters away.

After they performed this series of movements, the invisible effect on their bodies disappeared, and their bodies were completely revealed in the field of vision of the terrified royal guards.

"Damn...... What's going on? Defend, defend, find cover, raise your shields. ”

One of the Royal Guard squad leaders was immediately shocked when he saw the Shadow Legion appear. hurriedly yelled at his companion beside him.

But not everyone had the speed of his reactions, and most of them were still in a state of shock after the Shadow Legion's arrows flew out, after all, these guys appeared so suddenly, as if they appeared out of thin air.

With a whirl, a large number of arrows swept through the void with a whistling sound. Overwhelmingly towards the royal guards, they slashed their heads and covered their heads.

"Damn, hide!"

"Colin, hand me that shield."

"Stop, don't let those guys rush through the line."

In an instant, invective and shouts continued to ring out in the crowd.

Although the attack was spotted by some of them, it didn't do much, and the arrows still pierced their armor with a cold light, harvesting life like a scythe of death.

After such a volley, a pile of corpses had been left near the defensive line.

They were covered with arrows. It's like a hedgehog, full of holes, which can be described as very penetrating.

This lasted for about two minutes, and after surviving the first round of arrows, the remaining royal guards were standing on shields or bunkers, so the power of the arrows was immediately greatly weakened, and only some suppressive effect was produced.

In a few moments, the senseless arrow attacks had stopped.

"All ready to attack!"

Suddenly. Hoggs, the commander of the army, suddenly drew his sword at his waist and rushed in the direction of the royal guards.

However, the soldiers of the Shadow Legion followed suit. Push forward quickly, trying to close as close as possible before the Royal Guards can react.

Covered by a large number of arrows, the Shadow Legionnaires soon clashed head-on with the Royal Guards.

With the continuous sound of shouting and killing, the corpses were also piled up on the ground, and the blood gathered into a small river of blood.

Although the Royal Guards had the advantage in numbers, in this head-on conflict. But they didn't have the advantage they deserved. Every time a Shadow Legionnaire falls, two or three more Royal Guards fall.

It can even be said that ...... It won't be long before the royal guard collapses.

You must know that once they lose their morale, these royal guards are not much stronger than ordinary mercenary groups.

In fact, there are several reasons for this:

One is that the Shadow Legion isn't weak, especially because they're card creatures. The tacit understanding is very good, and it can make cooperative actions that ordinary armies can't do.

The second is that these royal guards are so far away from the battlefield that they have almost forgotten how to fight.

The Shadow Legion, on the other hand, is different, even if it is a newborn soldier, their body still maintains the instinct to fight.

"Sas, don't you need to rest for a while? You'll need to find out where Lorenzo is, because that guy won't be caught so easily. ”

At this time, Roland and Sass were sitting together on the roof of a house, which was at a good height and had a clear view of the battle that was going to take place.

Although he was confident that the Shadow Legion would defeat the Royal Guards, it was another matter whether or not he could catch Lorenzo who was trying to escape.

"No, Mr. Roland, don't we really need to leave Aston City at this time? The situation seems to be a bit bad now, and the area outside the city is almost full of undead. ”

Sass shook his head and said with a worried expression.

According to what he had learned, Aston City had been surrounded by a large army of the undead.

Why do you say huge?

Because the number of those undead turned out to be several times that of the garrison of Aston City, standing on the city wall and looking down, what greeted him was a sea of corpses and bones, which could only be described as terrifying.

"No, we don't need to leave, we just need to stay in the city, and we'll be fine."

The expression on Roland's face did not change, and his eyes were still firmly fixed on the breakthrough of the defensive line not far away.

He had a way back, and if the undead creatures did break through the city, he would abandon it immediately and teleport away.

But Roland knew one thing, the Temple of Light would never let it go.

Once this Brumandi was captured by the undead, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the Temple.

Either way, the Templars would not let the undead take over the city.

Maybe the Templars will send their Sky Fleet as well.

"Huh?"

Just as Roland was thinking, a subtle aura caught his attention.

Roland frowned, and then looked in the direction of the breath.

When I looked closely, I saw that it was an area behind the royal guards.

If I'm not mistaken. It was supposed to be the location of the large magic teleportation array, but why did it exude an evil dark aura there?

Although the aura was very faint, it was absolutely true, and that feeling was an evil dark aura.

And...... For some reason, Roland felt that dark aura somewhat familiar, as if he had seen its owner before.

Wait a minute. Are they members of the Pure Darkness Church?

Thinking of this, Roland's face couldn't help but be gloomy, the last time he was in the cemetery, it was because of the outburst of Retanas that those guys had to leave.

But what about this time?

You must know that Retanas is still a rookie magic apprentice, and it is impossible to use that immortal bird-like fire power again.

"Sasse, it looks like we're going to have a plan now."

Roland groaned and said to the thief Sass and the ten shadow knights beside him, "Now we have to take advantage of this time to enter that line of defense." Do your best to stop Prince Lorenzo. ”

The darkness now unsettled him, as if something terrible was about to happen.

Maybe it's just his worries...... I hope so.

But in order to avoid that kind of accident, Roland decided to go inside and have a look.

Now that the Legion of Shadows is haunting the attention of the Royal Guards, it will be much easier for them to infiltrate inside.

"Yes, my master."

"Alas, since you have decided on Mr. Roland, what objection can I have?"

"Hmm. Let's go now. ”

When Sass and the others agreed, Roland led them towards the gap in the line.

Because they all have stealth skills. Moreover, the attention of the royal guards was focused on the impact of the shadow legionnaires, so no one would notice that in this corner, more than a dozen invisible shadows slowly passed through the defense line and entered the interior of this area.

"It's too ......"

Roland looked at the scene on both sides of the street, and his brow couldn't help but furrow even more.

Most of the people in this blockaded area have been evicted. But there are some people who are not far away from their homes for no reason.

However, what awaits them...... It's death.

During the journey Roland and the others had seen, several corpses of civilians lying on the streets, their clothes still soaked in blood.

"Mr. Roland, I found the figure of Prince Lorenzo."

Suddenly, Sasse's voice caught Roland's attention.

Roland was shocked. Hurriedly followed the direction pointed by the thief Sas, and saw a clearing not far away, under the protection of a group of silver-armored soldiers, the third prince of Lorenzo was standing there.

At this time, Prince Lorenzo frowned and lowered his head.

From his distressed expression, it can be seen that this guy seems to have encountered something difficult to decide.

However, the silver-armored soldiers beside Prince Lorenzo caught his attention.

Although there were only about a hundred of them, the armor of these guys was not the same as the royal guards outside, and the armor did not have any iconic insignia on it, and it felt like a mercenary group without a logo.

"Could it be that they're from Karen?"

Roland pondered for a moment and realized that this was the only possibility that could explain the identity of the group of guys.

But what about the old man Haynes who was last seen in the memory of the infiltrator?

Why didn't that guy be found here now, if they were going to open the teleportation magic array, that old man would definitely be there.

It was at this time that Roland finally saw the massive steel object in the pit.

In an instant, the doubts in my heart immediately disappeared.

It turned out that they had already entered the magic teleportation array, so it was no wonder that they couldn't see anyone.

As for that large magic teleportation array, Roland was very familiar with it.

You must know that in the previous life, that teleportation can really be said to be a copy of the storage zĂ i, and after a lot of exploration, Roland can clearly remember every location in it until now.

Therefore, Roland was confident that even if he was late, he would be able to reach the teleportation array one step ahead of Haines.

But before entering the magic teleportation array, the threat of Prince Lorenzo must be caught.

"Sas, you're going to knock that Lorenzo out and tie him up! Arthur, you go deal with those soldiers. ”

A strange smile appeared on Roland's face, and he said slowly.

"Mr. Roland, do you want me to kidnap His Royal Highness?"

"Yes, how? Are you afraid? ”

"No, no, no, it's just a bit of a surprise."

Sass hurriedly waved his hand to hide the excitement in his eyes, and then went into stealth.

The kidnapping of His Royal Highness the Prince, this baron is really too interesting, as long as it continues like this, I am afraid that his wish will soon come true.

"Use the Silver Epic Card: Call of Dreams!"

Roland took a deep breath, took out the silver epic card, hid it in the palm of his hand, and whispered.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange white mist slowly rose from his body and spread towards all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hey, if there is a situation, pay attention! Prince Lorenzo, please stay with us and don't leave. ”

Soon, the silver-armored soldiers noticed this strange scene.

I believe that as long as you are not blind, you will notice such a strange thing, after all, in a sunny day, there is a thick fog, which is simply contrary to common sense.

"Damn, what's going on...... Perhaps agreeing to this mention was a wrong choice. ”

Lorenzo cursed and took two steps back.

What exactly went wrong, no one should know about his plan before reading it, after all, it was improvised, and it was absolutely impossible for others to find out so quickly and attack them.

And from the situation of the battle outside, it can be seen that those guys of unknown origin are simply stronger than the royal guards.

Who are they?

"Back off, back off!"

When the white mist was about to touch Lorenzo and them, the silver-armored soldiers hurriedly escorted His Royal Highness to the edge of the pit.

Now they had no way out, only two options remained, to enter the teleportation array, or to face those eerie white mist directly.

"Hey, let's get inside!"

Seeing that the white mist was getting closer and closer, Lorenzo was also anxious, and hurriedly yelled at the silver-armored soldier beside him.

But...... The answer he received was not what he expected.

"I'm sorry, but we couldn't have taken you inside without Lord Haines' orders."

The silver-armored soldier shook his head and said indifferently.

After saying this, the guy looked away from Lorenzo and looked again vigilantly at the white mist.

"You ...... Damn it! ”

Hearing such an answer, Prince Lorenzo's face immediately became gloomy.

Now he regretted his decision to give this damn bastard, those Karen people definitely have a ghost in their hearts!
