Volume 1 [Border Clouds] Chapter 142: A Glimpse of the Ranger (2)

At this time, there were fifteen or sixteen people who stood up, almost all of them were hit by arrows, and there were even more than a dozen, and they looked like a group of hedgehogs, but at this time, no one in the soldiers who were shooting arrows could laugh at all, they only felt creepy...

The north-south path was sealed off to the north, and Derby and the other undead were running towards the south side where they came, and the carriage used to disguise their identities was simply abandoned, and Derby didn't worry about any attack on Magda in the carriage - not even the idea of "covering Magda" in his head, only the endless curse of these cunning humans and the ominous premonition of the empty streets in front of him...

"Be on the defensive"

He shouted again, and with a flip of his hands, he silently grasped the two daggers, and at the same time his body slammed forward, supported the ground with one hand, and his body turned over in the air with agility, easily dodging the four arrows that were fired at him, and then with a wave of his hand, he separated the arrows that shot at the companion beside him, and then shook it to the side, and his whole body suddenly disappeared in place

This is the high-level "stealth" skill of the "assassin", and at the moment when Derby disappeared, one of the remaining undead waved the wand disguised as a long sword in his hand, and a green light curtain instantly appeared above their heads, with a radius of seven or eight meters - those arrows that came from the light curtain were directly slid away, and fell to the ground with a "crackle".

It has to be said that these assassins reacted quite quickly after the sudden attack, and in just over ten seconds from the beginning of the ambush to now, they have already made effective defensive measures and almost successfully broke through...

But only "almost".

The undead scattered and fled, hoping to find the gap in the middle of the street and hide it as much as possible, but they suddenly rushed out of it countless temple guards with heavy shields - the undead were driven back after several charges, and seeing this, they had no way back but to continue running along the street, and then they found out sadly... The originally peaceful street in front of me was completely blocked by the sudden rush of two teams.

A cavalry team led the charge in their direction, led by Titus, dressed in silver armor and armed with a triangular spear, followed by Wellington in black armor, followed by fifteen powerful men armed with hammers and maces, and ten of the most capable cavalry scouts of Roddy's ranks

But at a distance of fifty meters, the war horse almost came in the blink of an eye, and Titus raised his hand and waved his spear, and when the cold tip of the spear stabbed out angrily, it actually carried a faint white light—

"Give Me Death"

The shouts echoed through the streets, almost drowning out the sound of horses' hooves. The tip of the spear slashed three or four phantoms in the air, and the undead who wanted to dodge were all thrown away

Some of them were struck in the head, and the entire skull immediately burst from the inside, and some were swept in the chest, and their bodies exploded to pieces on the spot, and even if the glowing white spear touched the arm, half of the undead's body was blasted out of the air by the inexplicable blast - this was the first time that Knight Titus had used his full strength, and the impact was far more powerful than it had been in the city square a few days earlier

The Wellington knight behind him did not use a heavy cavalry spear, but only held a heavy long sword and waved it left and right in his hand, which seemed to be no different from ordinary cavalry, but if you looked closely at his movements when attacking, you could see that his long sword always seemed to drag a blurred shadow, and every time he hit the enemy, the sound of the long sword and the flesh was heard twice...

The heavy weapons in the rear were equally powerful, and the giant axes, maces, and long-handled war hammers were blessed, and after being blessed by the speed of the war horse, they made a cracking sound similar to when smashing a coconut, so that Sodrol and the others who followed after were almost no longer targeted...

The sound of crashing, slashing, and horses' hooves mingled, and the cavalry whizzed like ploughs, crushing the mercenary-dressed undead without any suspense—and that wasn't the end, as the few undead who had not been hacked to death and were lucky enough to survive were about to stagger and drag their broken bodies out, and then crashed into the more than 200 Temple guards who followed.

Looking at the heavy armor on these soldiers' bodies, the semi-metal tower shields in their hands, and the overwhelming spears, the undead finally realized their situation...

They were completely surrounded

The 27 cavalry rushed to the end of the road, and by this time they had turned their horses' heads around, and the oppressive "encirclement" of the temple guards began - the doors of the houses on both sides of the street began to open one by one, and the soldiers with heavy shields and short swords stepped out, completely blocking the escape route in front of the undead.

If you count the scouts on the upper floor with bows and arrows aimed below, the total number of soldiers surrounding these undead at this time has exceeded three hundred. All the surrounding streets have been cleared of martial law, and there are five or six mobile cavalry patrols ready to kill the fish that slip through the net...

The city of Holier had closed all its gates by this time, so from any point of view, this group of undead assassins had already been able to escape

At this moment, only five of the undead who had experienced the rain of arrows and the "baptism" of cavalry charges were left standing, and the rest were either killed by more than twenty arrows because of the crushing of the cavalry team. Of these, only the undead assassin Derby disappeared due to his superb stealth skills, and as for Magda...

There were more than a dozen arrows nailed to the carriage he was in, but there seemed to be no movement in the carriage.

More than 200 soldiers surrounded the undead with shields in their hands, and forced the remaining undead to retreat step by step in front of the carriage, and in the process, Roddy, who had already taken a short bow to participate in the battle, shot through the heads of the two undead with several extremely accurate arrows...

He looked at the battle situation in front of him, a stone in his heart had basically landed, turned his head to look at Rubens, who was protected by the temple guards on his side, Roddy made a "continue" gesture, and then stepped onto a high platform next to him that had been prepared for a long time, and the arrows in his hands were already set up-

A few meters away, Rubens raised his hand and released the "Divine Technique: Eye of True Vision", and then with a wave of the scepter in his hand, a golden light instantly hit the outer wall of the second floor of a house...

"Smack"

The undead Derby, who had been trying to escape with the help of stealth, suddenly showed his body because of this attack, and Roddy's arrow shot out at almost the same time, and it was already shot in front of Derby's eyes when he gritted his teeth and was about to curse

Although Roddy's level is not at all comparable to Derby, a powerful assassin who has advanced to level 2, the comparison of strength is not at all a level that can be summed up in words, just like Derby can't block the arrow with his eyes at all, he can only choose to push his hands and flip backflip to avoid this sharp attack...

As a result of this, he fell completely into the encirclement of the Templars

"Kill"

Rubens here gave the death order without saying a word, and the "Holy Shield" did not forget to protect the front of him, and Benjamin, who was not far away, who had already prepared the "Divine Bondage" magic technique, directly waved his hand and trapped Derby's figure in place

Because of the level gap, his magic only trapped Derby for more than a second before this guy broke free directly, but this second of delay was enough for Titus and Wellington to force him in front of him - because the surrounding terrain was no longer able to carry out a second charge, so at this time, the two high-ranking knights dismounted and started hand-to-hand combat directly.

If it was a one-on-one heads-up, Derby might be able to defeat these two knights with a wide range of attacks by virtue of his rank and skill advantage, but at this time, on the battlefield, in addition to the two knights, there was also an overlord, a bishop, and four priests with advanced strength...

In this way, Derby must be in trouble

Standing on the high platform, Roddy gently lowered the short bow in his hand - at this time, the dawn had arrived, and the orange sun shone into the street from the edge of the eastern city wall, he stood on the high platform, his body bathed in the morning light, looking at the undead assassin who was completely surrounded by soldiers more than thirty meters away, and slowly exhaled...

Twisting the chirping arrow that was left for the last "failure alarm" with his fingertips, and flashing four or five combat locations as a backup in his mind, Roddy whispered to himself:

"It's okay... No accidents. ”

However, just as his words fell, the accident finally happened.

A kilometer away, the "Rosicrucian" monastery.

When she woke up in the dormitory, Sally's mind still had a little excitement about being a priest, but she had no idea what kind of fierce battle was taking place at the West City Gate, which was only 800 meters away from the monastery

It was understandable that she didn't know the details of the "ambush of the undead" because she wasn't involved in the "ambush of the undead", and it was only when she walked around the monastery after washing up that Sally remembered that her father was going to send Titus and Uncle Wellington to fight with the Bishop today.

As for the outcome of this kind of battle, she has never been worried, because since she was a child, Sally has never heard of anyone stronger than Titus and Uncle Wellington, not to mention that this battle is also participated in by Lord Rubens and Bishop Benjamin.

So Sally was in a very relaxed mood at this time, and if there was any trouble, I am afraid that she felt slightly dazed and sad for the upcoming parting.

According to the plan, the overseer will take her out of the city where she has stayed for sixteen years tomorrow and go to the "temple" thousands of miles away, so in the past two days, Sally has no previous prayer mission, and the bishop has taken a special "vacation" to pack her bags.

"What luggage can I bring with me to the temple..."

She looked at everything that lay out in front of the bed: two new sets of priestly robes, two sets of black casual robes for the usual day, some change of underwear, three or four scriptures, a stack of parchment that had been used for note-taking, and then the Kemera scale soft armor and... A set of voodoo dice.

Sally's gaze softened a lot when she saw the last two things, she thought about it, decided to put the soft armor on her body, and then picked up the dice and rubbed it in her hand, and was about to put it in her pocket, when a knock sounded behind her.

"Sally, are you there?"

"Chrissy? Did you get up so early, what's the matter? ”

Chrissy, who pushed open the door, looked at Sally, who had now become a priest, and saluted jokingly: "Would you like to say hello to the priest first?" ”

"Go, go, don't mess with me," Sally looked out the door, "Someone looking for me?" ”

Thinking about Roddy just now, Sally naturally hoped that this guy could talk to herself before leaving.

"As you guessed, it's a guy named Martin, who said he came to you on the orders of the Duke."

"Martin? Where did he come from? ”

Sally showed a slight expression of disappointment on her face, and then she was deeply puzzled, she knew Martin Sally very well, if the other party didn't have something important, she would definitely not use this way to find herself directly, not to mention... It was with the command of the father.

But even though Sally had a lot of expectations in her mind, she definitely didn't expect that Martin's purpose for coming to her was...

"Escape?"

Sally looked at Martin in disbelief, but then realized something, and her delicate goose egg face immediately became gloomy, and she narrowed her eyes and asked, "You mean... Take me out of here when you need to?

"Yes, miss, this is the master's order." Martin turned his head and looked to the west, which was the area where the battle took place, "Lord asked me to wait for you here for a day, if the bell tower on the west side does not ring the bell on this day, then there is no need to make any movement, but if the bell rings, you must immediately take the young lady to the north city gate, and go to the Bol fortress as soon as possible." ”

"The bell tower to the west?"

Sally, who squinted her eyes, suddenly realized that the battle her father had planned in the past few days didn't seem to be such a simple thing, and her heart immediately became a little apprehensive, "Is my father sure?" ”

"The lord said that these are all just in case," Martin thought about the Duke's expression when he explained these words, "I think the lord should be very sure." ”

"That's good..."The slightly chaotic mood was suppressed, Sally thought for a while, and then said: "Then you are here now, if the bell tower rings..."

"Bell—"

The sudden sound of the bell caused Sally and Martin to turn their heads at the same time, and their expressions were a little dull for a moment, but then Martin reacted immediately, he turned around and rushed towards the horses that had already been prepared on the opposite side of the monastery, and turned back as he ran, shouting, "Miss, go away"

"It's... Really want to go? ”

Sally's brain couldn't reflect what to do when such a thing happened, and when she heard Martin shouting at her, she glanced back at the abbey church behind her, but she couldn't accept the fact that she was about to flee from here—

"Miss Horse"

Martin moved very quickly, he took three steps and two steps to lead the horse to Sally, only to find that the girl's expression that was numb and stiff at first disappeared the moment she grasped the reins, and was replaced by solemnity and composure, she turned on the horse, clamped the horse's belly and asked aloud, "What the hell was going on in that battle?" ”

Seeing that she had begun to speed up the horses, Martin hurriedly let the horses under his crotch follow, and while paying attention to the movements around the street, he replied: "Miss, I don't know the specific situation, I only know that Titus and the Wellington knights are all on the scene, the overseer, the bishop and hundreds of temple guards are there, and the whole plan was planned by the captain of Roddy, and he should be there..."

"Roddy?"

Sally's hand gripping the reins suddenly tugged, and the running war horse suddenly stood up, neighing and stopping running...
