146.Chapter 146

The battle that took place at the West Gate lasted less than three or four minutes from beginning to end, and until this time, Sally had not yet arrived at the expected North Gate.

Geographically speaking, the Duke's Palace is the closest to the North City Gate, and it is only a five-minute drive away from the city gate, while Sally's monastery is in a delicate location - it is only five hundred meters away from the West Gate where the battle broke out!

And if you go towards the north city gate, you will be no more than 200 meters away from the "encirclement" along the way!

Sally realized this, so when she heard the bell that represented "retreat", she immediately grabbed the reins, looked at the closed West City Gate in the distance, and wanted to rush over, but she knew that she couldn't help at all, and her heart was a mess and confused...

"Miss! We don't have much time, we must hurry over as soon as possible! The carriage will be waiting for you in front of you, and if you can't make it, the master probably won't leave-"

Martin understood the stakes, and immediately persuaded Sally to hurry up and continue to march with a cold sweat, he didn't want to see the daughter of the duke who had just become a priest encounter any more "accidents", let alone mess up the things that the Duke of Angmar solemnly explained, at this time, looking at Sally's hesitant expression, he even had the mind to carry the other party to the horse and take it away!

Luckily, Sally wasn't an impulsive and brainless girl, she took a deep breath, started the horse again, and asked with a little trembling voice as she ran, "They failed... The Doge and the Bishop, Titus and Wellington are all there, and they are still failing... That Rodi he-"

"I can't care about so much!

Martin whipped Sally on the buttocks of the horse Sally was riding, and shouted, "Since they can't stop it, the captain of Roddy can't stop it!

These cruel words made Sally's heart feel like it froze, and almost immediately the most unimaginable scenes came to her mind...

Do you have to return to the city after everything has passed, to cross the mossy stone paths, to the cemetery outside the south gates, and face the cold... Tombstones?

The conversation at the dinner a few days ago is still vivid, and the vows made with Roddy still seem to echo in my ears—and the last time I parted, I asked him, "Is the next battle dangerous?"

"You should be sure, even if something goes wrong, you and the Duke don't have to worry. ”

This was Roddy's answer at the time, and Sally recalled it at this time, and suddenly understood what he meant by the phrase "You and the Duke don't have to worry"...

Sally felt the world in front of her become a blur in the cold wind of the early morning—the hand holding the reins was clenched tightly, and she wanted to rush to the battlefield to confirm that her judgment was wrong, but the reason in her mind told her that she had to run forward now!

The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the streets, and the few civilians looked at the roaring horses and avoided them in a hurry, and Sally turned her head to look at the side, and the street she was walking through was the main road leading to the West Gate—but at this time, she couldn't see anything other than the patrolling cavalry and the closed city gate...

"What the hell is going on..."

As she turned her gaze ahead, Sally noticed a scrupled carriage parked in the distance, and just as she was feeling strange, she heard Martin next to her muttering on the bumpy horse, "That's the old man's car... He said he was going to wait for you, Miss. ”

Hearing this, Sally felt that her heart, which was already cold and lost, seemed to have regained a lot of temperature at once—and only then did she realize that everything she had done was to keep herself and her father alive...

As long as there are still people alive in the Rusifron family, there is room for redemption!

When she thought of this, Sally complained in her heart about why Roddy was so stupid... What is there in this family that is worthy of him to save again and again at the risk of his life?!

"Heh... Believe it or not, I did it just for the sake of the country.... It will not be destroyed in the hands of a group of brutes in the future. ”

Thinking of what Roddy said at the beginning, Sally suddenly felt a little abrupt - everything Roddy did seemed to be really for this "joke" that she thought was at the beginning.

When something suddenly figured out, my heart suddenly felt heavy. She bit her lip and rode her horse on, her eyes red, but she didn't shed tears after all.

In the carriage in the distance, the Duke of Angmar was looking in the direction of the West City Gate and sighed secretly: "The problem that so many people can't solve... I really can't complain that the plan is not thorough. ”

Although he knew in his heart that the failure of this plan might have an extremely bad impact, he finally returned to the city government, but he clenched his fists slightly, and did not choose to go up to die now-although what Roddy said at the beginning was ugly, it was indeed true: he couldn't die! If he died, the territory of Evta would be completely finished!

Sally can't die either! She's the only heir to House Russifuron!

Duke Angmar had the opportunity to leave the city as soon as possible, but his father was a father after all, and even if he had such an opportunity, he finally chose to walk behind Sally—at this time, seeing Sally galloping towards this place in the distance, he felt some indescribable bitterness in his heart... Escaping like this, even if it's the right choice, it's too much!

He was about to tell the coachman to start the carriage, but Angmar suddenly heard a muffled sound in his ears, and turned his head to look out of the humble window of the canopy, but he was surprised to see a long arrow nailed to the wall not far away...

Frost-white ice crystals spread along the arrows towards the sides of the wall, causing the original gray-brown wall to appear as a hexagonal frozen trace in less than two seconds, as if a snowflake had been drawn out of thin air.

"Frost Arrow..."

The Duke immediately turned his head to look in the direction where the arrow was fired, but he happened to hear a muffled sound in the distance—

"Phew!"

Hundreds of meters away, both Angmar and Sally could hear the sound spread far away, and when they turned their heads to look, they immediately saw a cloud of smoke rising above the bell tower, the tallest building near the West Gate.

The big bell on the top of the bell tower then made a muffled sound again, and two figures jumped down one after the other in the smoke and dust, even if they were hundreds of meters apart, they could still see that these two figures were holding a bow in their hands!

Duke Angmar and Sally looked into the distance and grew their mouths at the same time: "That's... Roddy?"

Go back a few minutes.

Magda, who calmly departed from the top of hundreds of temple guards, jumped down from a height of more than ten meters, rolled as she landed, and after unloading her strength, she got up and went directly into the shadows of an alley, her silent footsteps did not even attract the attention of the team that had just patrolled.

The dark blue short bow was held in his hand, and the arrows in the quiver behind his back did not fly out because of his fierce movements, and the robe that was originally disguised as the leader of the caravan was torn off at some point, and Magda was wearing a gray and black leather armor - he was moving quickly in the shadows, but his gray-white pupils were always looking at a few houses not far away...

"How dare you ambush me..."

After walking through the alley for a while, he took a leap and climbed directly over a two-meter-high wall, but when he fell, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at his side, and said into the air: "Who leaked the news?!"

In the distorted air, the figure of Derby appeared, the latter's clothes had a lot of tears and dirty dirt, obviously because of the battle just now, but at this time, even though he was full of resentment, he still immediately knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said: "My subordinates are incompetent! I really don't know why. ”

"They're prepared!" Magda was not interested in holding others accountable at this time, her gray eyes flashing with anger, "It looks like those two knights and the Rosicrucius team are preparing to encircle and suppress them? Got the wrong person. ”

"Your Excellency?"

Although the undead had no heartbeat or breathing, Derby still felt as if his withered heart had twitched a few times... This Magda in front of him has never been a master to be messed with, even within the Tasman Kingdom, few people dare to touch his bad head - because everyone knows that he has a terrible personality of revenge, and the people who really anger [Blightcast] Magda, no matter how powerful they are, most of the consequences are inexplicable disappearances or even corpses that can't be put together...

Obviously, this group of humans is now bleeding into the mold.

"Kill back, within five minutes, I want those two god sticks to die. ”

Magda looked away, his words sounded casual, but with an inexplicable chill, "Those two knights, if they can stay, they don't have to leave." ”

As soon as the words fell, he walked to the building next to him, jumped up without using any skill, and with a single hand, he climbed the eaves of the house and jumped up to the second floor, disappearing in front of Derby without a sound.

This hand was even sharper than what Derby, a professional assassin, did, looking at Magda's disappearing back in the distance, Derby also knew that he had no room to refuse, he touched Xie Ding's head, shook his head, turned around and disappeared in place.

At the same moment, Luo Di, who was hiding under the low wall dozens of meters away, clenched the scroll in his hand nervously.

Roddy isn't really sure what is going to happen next - but at the moment he has no choice: taking a step back is hell, and if he doesn't grit his teeth and try, I'm afraid I'll have to sit back and wait for the next moment...

Taking a deep breath, he looked up at the soldiers who were holding shields and looking around vigilantly not far away, and then at Rubens and Benjamin, who were surrounded by sturdy, and then clenched the short bow in his hand, and pulled the quiver strap with 15 arrows left, and tightened it on his back...

Roddy raised his hand and gestured to Wellington and Titus, who had regained their combat ability more than a dozen meters away.

"Let's get started. ”

"Let's go!"

Wellington and Titus looked at each other and rushed out of the corner at the same time, both of them holding a heavy tower shield in their hands, and in their hands they were no longer holding the heavy sword of the previous battle, but a short sword copied from the soldiers—the two tall and long-legged knights strode from the street to where Rubens was, their eyes looking around vigilantly, the shield in their hands protecting their bodies, and the surface of their bodies filled with "battle energy" distorted air.

The injuries of the two men were no longer in serious condition after the priest's "recovery technique", and now they were acting in preparation for the Exchequer and the Bishop to take care of each other.

Obviously, they admit that they really have no power to fight back against a "ranger" like Magda, and the other high-level assassin hiding in the shadows is even more fearful.

Hundreds of temple guards moved out of the way under the orders of the overarcher, and the two old men, who were shielded by Wellington and Titus, immediately bent down and retreated out of the street under the protection of more than a dozen shields that had been replenished.

At this time, almost all of the highest-end combat power of this ambush team was gathered in one place, and because of Roddy's prompt, the two clergymen did not show their heads at all, so neither Derby nor Magda had any way to effectively attack at this time, except for hard attacks - to put it mildly, the two clergymen were like turtles hiding in turtle shells, which made people have nowhere to put their mouths.

Roddy, who was hiding behind the low wall, pursed his lips, the scroll in his hand almost soaked with sweat from his palms, because the direction of these people's retreat was right in his field of vision, so that Wellington and Titus swept over from time to time to see the sight.

As the decision-maker of this temporary plan, Roddy took a deep breath, his gaze once again swept to the complex houses on both sides and the "corridor" specially vacated by the temple guards in front of him, raised his palm, and made a gesture to Wellington, who happened to be looking at him...

"Plop!"

When such a sound sounded, the soldiers around them raised their heads in confusion, and immediately reported that someone had fallen - but then they found that the fallen Templar guard was the one behind the Overlord, and his fall directly caused a gap in the "human wall" protecting Rubens!

"Protect your lordship!"

Someone reacted and opened their mouths to warn loudly, but at such an instant, the guards on both sides of the Overseer did not have time to plug the gap immediately, and even because of the obstacle after the guard fell, the moving team expanded the "gap"!

It seemed that no one expected such an "oolong", and Rubens's angry voice rang out - "How?

Before he finished his words, the impact of "bang" suddenly sounded!

The ice ballasts that splashed in front of him were all blocked by the "Holy Shield", and the temple guards next to them looked at it, but saw that the original vacancy was covered by the Wellington knights who rushed up with a shield, and an arrow had bounced off the shield at this moment, and it was almost completely frozen by the cold power!

The abundant "battle energy" made the shield much stronger than the metal surface itself, and the force of the arrow impact was extremely great, but Wellington held the shield in both hands, and only took a small step back to firmly block this terrible attack!

Because all the soldiers were staring intently looking for the enemy, the first time Magda appeared from the top of the building, his figure was captured by the archers standing on the second floor, and the superior soldiers immediately shot dozens of arrows at him. But he didn't pay attention to it at all, and when he ran forward, his body dodged all the arrows that were shot at him in a slight movement, and the action of reaching out and pulling out the arrows to shoot was even more like a phantom, but after three or four steps, there were already six arrows shot towards Rubens!
