097 Return of the Assassins (2)
If the previous manhunt was just a small fight, and Antonio and Ian were still chatting and watching the movements of the Desik garrison from the watchtower, then now, this crossbow arrow with a slightly trembling tail rod reminds the two of them that the enemy is really coming.
Antonio was bold and stretched out his head to look down, and it turned out that a large number of garrison soldiers had surrounded the watchtower. "Damn, I don't know when I was discovered. Antonio retracted his head and cursed.
"Green, your observation is really good, and you really got it right. Not far from the watchtower, General Jin said with appreciation.
The group of people all looked at the top of the watchtower above as if they were facing a great enemy, and Green had a serious face, "You haven't fought with them, you don't know their danger, it's not their style to flee in the alleys of the city like lost dogs." ”
Setie smiled and added, "Their arrogance will inevitably hide in a place where they can see the whole situation, you see, this is the only place in White Rock City." The red flag above, one pointing to the east and the other to the west, is obviously problematic. ”
The officer next to him shouted loudly: "Wind, prepare, release!" A thick crossbow bolt once again slashed through the air and slammed into the outer wall of the watchtower.
"Be careful, in case the dog jumps off the wall!" Green reminded.
Before the words fell, I saw a large cloud of black gas, which suddenly floated out from the top of the lookout tower. "Again!" Green reached out to cover his mouth, and couldn't help but sneer, and at the same time looked at Setty, who looked at the side in a reassuring posture, Pete and Angelina, I don't know when, were already standing on the roof nearby.
The Desik Empire is the most magic-hating country among the countries on the continent, and since the beginning of the founding of the country, the Desik people have killed the dark mages as quickly as possible. At this moment, the soldiers around looked at this large mass of black mist, all of them looked angry, but they did not have the slightest fear.
Pete and Angelina, although they are only mid-level magicians, they have also studied magic all year round, and considering the situation they may encounter this time, both of them have made sufficient preparations, and this time it really came in handy.
Two people, one on the left and one on the right, chanted magic, and each generated a blue magic cover in front of them, which was abnormally transparent, and shone with a clear fluorescence under the sky. "I'll help them!" Dropping the words, Setie stepped forward and recited the incantation. The blue magic cover flew in the direction of the watchtower, enveloping the black mist in front of the watchtower.
As if encountering a natural predator, the black mist rolled and struggled violently in the blue light mask, but to no avail.
"Good!" came a cheer from below. "Okay!" Green squeezed his fist at the same time.
The black fog was extinguished, and the watchtower was quiet again. The incident just now caused the launch of the crossbow to be temporarily suspended, and the officer leading the team looked at General Jin with inquiring eyes.
"Green, what do you think? Assault or?" General Kim, in a rare move, did not give an order, but asked Green in an inquiring tone. Green's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to figure out how to force them down.
The watchtower is built very high and has a full view of the city. In that kind of terrain, a martial arts master and a magician, although there is no way to escape by turning into a bird, but if you want to stick to the top, the people below will be helpless for a while.
Green's eyes were aimed at the torch at the door of the "big tent" of the house next to him, "There it is!"
It's been a long time since I was surrounded here. Antonio and Ian's mood is not as relaxed as it was at the beginning. There was also a magician on the other side, and the mist magic cast by Ian was intercepted, shattering the idea of the two of them taking the opportunity to leave.
"What do you say they will do?" Antonio asked Ian, who was sitting on the ground, Ian had just competed with the other party's magician, and some of his mental strength was hurt, and he was sitting on the ground pranayama, and he didn't pay attention to Antonio, who was bored with himself, so he had to close his eyes and seize the time to rest.
It didn't take long for Antonio, who felt that something was wrong for a while, suddenly another spirit, "Hey, don't think about it, Ian, don't you think it's too quiet?"
Ian opened his eyes this time, "There's something wrong, I'll put a mental magic, you can go out and take a look!" With a wave of his hand, a small cyan transparent shield appeared in the air in front of Antonio.
"So amazing?" said Antonio, surprised.
"Stop grinding and see what they're doing?" Ian urged.
I don't know if I don't know it, I was startled when I saw it, and poked his head out with a spiritual magic shield, and in an instant, a crossbow arrow flew past Antonio's scalp, which scared him into a shiver, but that was not the most terrifying thing.
"Ian, we're going to have to break through!" Antonio said with a sigh of relief.
"What's the matter, you, who are not afraid of heaven and earth, will also be afraid?" asked Ian, puzzled.
"The Desiks, they're setting up firewood, and it looks like we'll both be roasting suckling pigs before long. Antonio smiled wryly.
General King's battalion generals, commanding the Desik garrison, piled a large amount of firewood under the watchtower. Although there are a large number of stones wrapped around it, there is still a large number of wooden structures inside the watchtower, and both sides know that once a fire is lit, the people on the tower will not escape.
Moreover, Green, who put forward the idea of "fire attack", also suggested that General Jin should aim several crossbows at the perimeter of the watchtower, and all the Desik soldiers were all in good stand.
At this moment, only the soldiers around him could be heard exclaiming, and Setie also shouted loudly, "Be careful, Pete, Angelina!"
At the top of the watchtower, the dark magician cast a magic again, a huge arc-shaped black shadow quickly generated at the top of the watchtower, and the magic cover of the two court magicians once again greeted the black shadow, but this time there was no imaginary effect, but a green magic array, like seeing a natural enemy, instantly disappeared.
"Puff!" "Puff!", Pete and Angelina, who had lost control of their magic, each spurted a mouthful of blood and wilted to the ground. Setie hurriedly stepped forward to protect the two, and at the same time, Green shouted "Arrows, arrows, arrows!"
The surrounding soldiers, at this time, did not have time to care whether the order came from their own commander, several crossbows released crossbow arrows one after another, however, the steel crossbow arrows that were originally extremely sharp and thick as an arm hit the black shadow as if they were shot into cotton, and they were gone.
"What the hell, this is Sytie!" Green shouted, but Setty couldn't care about it, she could only shout, "I don't know, I haven't seen it!"
General Jin was unusually calm, and he was used to seeing war scenes, but he had seen a lot of this situation, "Garrison soldiers, protector crossbows! Wasteland warriors, you go up! Green, please." ”
Before the distribution was completed, there was another change on the tower, and the black arc-shaped black shadow began to move towards the tower, and the soldiers directly below avoided it one after another. Just now, those lethal crossbow arrows were swallowed by the black shadow, making the surrounding soldiers feel uneasy. "Beware, it's a trick!" Green yelled!
It turned out that at the moment when the black shadow floated down, on the tower, a agile figure jumped in the opposite direction.
"Keep up, don't let him run!" General Jin shouted loudly, and the soldiers who got close hurriedly blocked it. The figure drew his sword, and with a dazzling wave, three earthy yellow lights flashed, and the closest row of soldiers all looked at the spears and shields that had been broken off in their hands, while the most advanced Desik soldiers covered their throats helplessly, and blood spilled for a moment.
On this side of the watchtower, there was a one-sided massacre, and on the other side of the watchtower, the situation was not optimistic.
The arc-shaped magical black shadow is already close to the ground, and it is like an infinite giant mouth, swallowing everything that stands in its way inexplicably.
"Get out of the way, this is space magic, if you touch it, you will never recover. Setie shouted a warning from the side, and the formation of the Desik soldiers became even more confused.
Fortunately, there are also heroic warriors of the wasteland.
General Jin, I have read the report of the Westborder Bridge incident in detail, at that time, the members of the Dark Rising Organization who escaped annihilated two squads of Desik border guards and twenty hunters of the Adventurers' Guild in a short period of time. So, before the battle began, he used his identity as the central general to recruit a squad of wasteland warriors from the Royal Wasteland Samurai Regiment.
In fact, General Jin didn't know that when the Manning incident happened, there was also a small group of wasteland warriors around Crown Prince Ferdinand who was protecting him, but fortunately, that yellow sword qi was in the other direction, and General Jin couldn't take care of it for the time being.
The Wasteland Samurai, led by their leader, took their scimitars in their mouths, stripped off their jackets, and climbed towards the top of the watchtower, surrounded by soldiers who cheered loudly to cover the actions of the Wasteland Samurai.
The watchtower was very high, but a skilled warrior like Antonio could go up with just a few leaps, and the same was true for the warriors of the wasteland. In the blink of an eye, the first few wasteland warriors had climbed to the top of the watchtower, ready to attack.
What was left in the tower was obviously the dark mage Ian, and at this moment, Ian had completely disregarded his own safety, clenched his teeth, laboriously chanted the spell, and another black arc-shaped black shadow had also formed in the air.
In order to thank Antonio for saving his life last time, Ian decided to use his body as bait to drag the Desik soldiers with magic attacks to cover Antonio's departure.
In fact, their goal was largely successful, and the Wasteland Samurai, who had the most power and destructive power in the field, and the three mages, were all successfully attracted to the vicinity of the watchtower.
Trying to release the last spatial magic, Ian collapsed backwards, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the silver glow of Desik's scimitar flashed in the corner of his eye.
"Hopefully, you'll be able to escape!" was Ian's last thought.
