Chapter Seventy-One: Friend or Foe
The reinforcements outside the city broke through the two "human head trees" one after another, but they had already suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy losses, but just within the distance of the gate of Hansar City, which could already be seen with the naked eye, there were two scalp-numbing "human head trees" blocking the first way forward, with the current state of this army, even if they could successfully annihilate the remaining two "human head trees", they would not be able to reinforce His Majesty the King in Hansar City.
Just when the commander was at a loss, another mysterious army of unknown identities suddenly killed him.
The commander could not tell for a moment, but fortunately, the behavior of the army that suddenly appeared seemed to prove that it was not an enemy, because the first round of arrows they fired was a "human head tree" that covered the front.
When the mysterious army rushed to the front, it was clear that they were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, but from the way they sat on horseback, the gesture of holding arms, their strong physique, and the fierce murderous aura in their eyes, it could be seen that these people were all elite divisions with a hundred battles, and the leader was a tall and thin man with glasses who was polite and full of scholarly temperament, and he said to the commander in a fairly pure Hansha City accent: "Go into the city, and leave the monsters here to us to deal with." ”
When the commander asked them for their true identities, the scholarly man in glasses gave a strange smile and replied, "We are just a bunch of fanatics who love our land, and we will never allow such monsters to appear in our land." ”
Although his mind was full of doubts, the commander also knew that he had no reason to waste his time, and after leaving the "Human Head Tree" to these mysterious troops, he continued to rush towards the city with his men. Unbeknownst to the commander, these mysterious divisions were in fact the sworn enemies of King Duris, whom he and his subordinates were loyal to, the "Lion Mercenary Regiment", which was composed of the elite of the former Restorationists, and that the man with glasses full of scholarly temperament was the leader of the "Lion Mercenary Regiment" and one of the four great generals of the Restoration, "Silver Serpent" Holgin Ilyich.
A few days ago, Sophia and Owen suddenly left for Hansa and decided to go to Hansa to support them, but unlike the others, Alice didn't just go on her own journey as a person. Before leaving, she consulted with General Holking Ilyich, and Joe Makeup, an elite unit of the Lion Mercenary Regiment, led by Holkin, secretly followed, supporting Alice and Sophia if necessary.
As soon as Holkins received Alice's signal from the city, he immediately led his men to set off. However, Holgen Ilyich had never imagined that one day he and his men would become allies with the army of Duris, joining forces against a common enemy.
"Owen, you're finally here!"
Before seeing anyone and hearing his voice, Sophia was overjoyed. With her strength, in the battle with Julian, she actually didn't need the support of others, but the appearance of Owen at this moment was still the biggest help for her.
However, Owen did not show up as Sophia had hoped. The figure on the roof of a certain room disappeared after a moment's pause. Sophia was surprised, and she looked around, trying to find Owen's whereabouts.
"Where do you look?" Taking advantage of Sophia's distraction, Julian took the opportunity to enter, raised the "tears of repentance" in his hand, and stabbed at Sophia with a sword.
"Lost" - another small stone flew and struck Julian's magic sword, causing the magic sword to stab crookedly, failing to hit Sophia accurately, grazing her shoulder armor, and Sophia was also awakened by this blow, and hurriedly took a few steps backwards, opening up the distance between Julian.
"Sophia, Julian will leave it to me. Go after that woman, only you can deal with her. ”
Owen's voice rang out again, but it was still unrevealed, but Sophia trusted him absolutely and didn't ask why. In order to save money, Sophia directly lifted the Valkyrie's soul, didn't care about leaving her back to Julian, and quickly exited the ruined alley, chasing in the direction of Christina.
Julian chased after Sophia with his sword, and then there was a "lost", "lost", "lost", "lost...... Countless sharp sounds of breaking the sky sounded out of thin air, and dozens or hundreds of small stones flew towards Julian from all directions.
Although Julian was wearing knight's armor, his head, neck, and hands were exposed and would be injured if he was hit by stones, so the only thing he could do now was to give up chasing Sophia, and quickly swing the holy sword and magic sword in his hand, knocking down the small stones that came at him one by one.
In the sound of "ping-pong", all the small stones that hit Julian were blocked, but in this way, Sophia had already left Julian's field of vision and could no longer easily catch up with her.
"Owen, this is how you helped Sophia, hide like a turtle?" Julian said sarcastically in the face of Owen, who had been refusing to show up.
"That's right, Julian, that's the way I'm going to do it, play a game of cat and mouse, and see if you can find me. Owen's voice echoed all around, making it impossible for Julian to confirm his exact location.
"I don't have the time or interest to play any games with you. Julian was going to ignore Owen and just turn around and leave.
But Owen didn't intend to end his "game" like this, and the rain of flying rocks in the sky hit again from all directions.
"That's enough! what the hell do you want to do!" Owen's stalking annoyed Julian, and this time he no longer swung his sword to defend, but instead condensed the battle spirit accumulated in the battle just now on the holy sword and the magic sword, and unleashed his battle spirit skill "Panic Cross Flash" centered on himself.
The powerful sword pressure crushed the flying stone rain into powder, and at the same time, it had completely destroyed the surrounding houses that had been destroyed in chaos. In the midst of the smoke and dust, the hidden Owen finally appeared.
"Don't come unharmed, Julian. In the midst of the smoke and dust, Owen walked into Julian's field of vision and kept a distance from him, "I didn't expect that we would meet in this way after the farewell of Yacheng Mountain and Big City a few months ago. ”
"Get out of the way, Owen. Julian didn't reminisce either, and he warned Owen with a dark face, "I was ordered to take Sophia's head, not yours." But if you dare to stop me, I will ......"
"Come on, Julian, stop pretending. Owen interrupted Julian with a wave of his hand.
"What did you say?"
"The eyeliner that watched you has all been cleared, so that's it, my friend. It's time to tell me what you're really trying to do with the Truth. ”
Hearing Owen say this, Julian realized that within a radius of dozens of meters around him, there were more than a dozen dark blue spider corpses scattered around. These spiders have large eyes, and they seem to be inlaid with some kind of gem fragments containing magical powers, which can transmit all the images and sounds that the spiders see and hear back to the monitor in the form of magical energy waves.
However, under the attack of Owen's flying stone rain and the powerful sword pressure of Julian's battle spirit technique, these spiders have all belly up, eight feet to the sky, and the gem fragments in their eyes have lost their energy supply due to the death of the host, and they have completely stopped functioning.
Such surveillance is obviously a great distrust of the truth towards himself, but at this time Julian's mood did not change much, and his eyes were so cold that it made people tremble: "You are too self-righteous, Julian. With or without these surveillances, I want to join the Truth Society with all my heart. No one forced me. ”
"Really? That's a shame. Owen seemed to have expected him to say this, and didn't show any surprise.
"You hear me clearly, Owen. No matter what we've been through before, if you stand in my way, you're my enemy. ”
"No, Julian. From the moment you join the Society of Truth, we are already enemies. ”
"Good! Julian smiled, revealing an even stronger killing intent.
From friend to foe in a split second. Your life-and-death battle is inevitable.
