Chapter 164: Caught in a Siege
The crowd in the square was frightened by the sudden start of the fighting, and they ran in all directions, fleeing. However, the mages who blocked the street did not intercept them, but let these people leave, but when they ran farther away, they would be stopped by the city guards who had been waiting for them to identify them one by one. In particular, children who are close to Prince Javier's age will all be arrested and left behind. Those mages continued to attack Luo Ling and the others in the field, forcing Luo Ling and the others to resist with magic and fighting spirit, so that they had no chance to escape.
When the crowd was almost finished, the magic props in the hands of the mages began to glow with dazzling magical fluorescence, and the light formed a wall, which then slowly closed and finally turned into an egg-shaped light mask similar to the royal capital's defensive enchantment.
"That's the Artifact Cage Barrier of the Tower of the Broken Sky, a very powerful set of restricted magic items, released by multiple groups of mages, that can envelop a large area in a single shroud, specifically used to capture enemies who are good at escaping. It was smaller but more powerful than the barrier used to block the Tower of Radiant Wings at the time, and in this cover, not only could spatial teleportation not be possible, but also people and energy could not pass through. Mei's voice sounded in Luo Ling's ears.
"I thought this set of things should be in the hands of the Sage of Sasso, but I didn't expect it to fall into Julian's hands. Gabriel's voice followed.
May and Gabriel fell to Luo Ling's side, and their attack on the pergola clearly did not have an effect. There were quite a lot of strong people gathered around the princess, not only Salmeron constantly counterattacked with his outgoing fighting energy, but also Julian from the Tower of the Sky and Layla from the Tower of Ice suppressed them with space magic and ice magic respectively, and these three masters caused a lot of pressure on May and Gabriel. Although Gabriel's strength in holding the artifact was slightly higher than theirs, the queen also had several high-level mages around to help in the battle, and had a great numerical advantage.
Mei felt that there would be no results if she continued like this, so she could only retreat to Luo Ling's side first.
"This kind of barrier is the opposite of the royal capital defensive barrier, which is mainly resistant to attacks from the outside, while the cage barrier is the best against attacks from inside. And it also has the characteristic that as it is cast longer and longer, it will be more closely integrated with its surroundings, and the effect of defense will become stronger and stronger. ”
While they were talking, Roger and Kalanda were not in a good state, and more and more elite Praetorian Guard knights rushed to the execution table, widening the distance between Liu Pengfei and Roger, and finally separating them completely. Although the two of them managed to kill several enemies, they were soon encircled.
Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more passive, Roger gave Kalanda a look, and the two alternately covered and quickly retreated to the rear, and also joined Luo Ling.
Queen Laura and her men walked up to the high platform and joined the Praetorian Guards who controlled Liu Pengfei. The addition of two new mages has made their defensive enchantment even bigger. Now Rowling and the others were in an awkward position, they were between the cage barrier and the defensive circle next to the princess, and as the cage barrier slowly shrank into the middle, their range of movement became smaller and smaller.
And attacks were coming at them from all directions, and now they could only be supported by the shields released by a few mages.
Gabriel slashed a sword at the cage barrier, and the fighting energy rippled on the light curtain, but it failed to really destroy it, and he judged: "This barrier can only be broken from the inside if several of us attack with all our might." But now the enemy is on the offensive and it is impossible for us to abandon the defense. ”
Luo Ling looked at the people around the princess and said, "The time is almost up, it seems that the things we prepared last night should be usable now." ”
On the high platform, Queen Laura said to Liu Pengfei, who was slumped on the ground: "It's a perfect trap, isn't it? Even if your companion guesses that there may be an ambush, he is likely to come over and drill it." This time, I just won the bet. ”
"How did you know they would come to my rescue?" Liu Pengfei looked very embarrassed now, his clothes were torn, his face was dirty, and he looked as if he had just been beaten up.
"I did some research on you people before I knew you. You are a group of mothers-in-law and mothers, and it is difficult for your companions to give up on him. But then again, a lot of mages have this problem. If you stay in the magic tower for too long, you don't know the dangers of the outside world. Queen Laura said unceremoniously.
"It's my stupidity that, at some point before, would have thought that someone as ambitious as you would be more worthy of being a partner than they were. Liu Pengfei sighed.
"Yes, you're stupid. You should know that people like me can tolerate short-sightedness, greed, and even incompetence, but will never allow betrayal. The queen replied, "But what if they save you? Do you still have the face to appear among them? a complete loser, a waste who drags down a dead companion." You're going to spend your whole life in the scorn of others, right?"
Liu Pengfei's remaining temper was stimulated by Laura, and he said hatefully: "You, why are you talking to me like this......?
"Because ......," Laura said with anger in her voice, leaning over and leaning over to Liu Pengfei's ear, "the night I learned that you betrayed me." I dropped my most cherished crystal vase, it was my mother's favorite vase, and I kept it in my room all the time, and every day I would look at it, touch it, and feel like my mother was there for me whenever I had it. But that day it turned into a piece of debris, and what else do you think became a piece of debris that day?"
Liu Pengfei just wanted to answer, but he felt something rush into his mind, it was actually Luo Ling's voice: "There will be an explosion in the four corners and in the middle of the high platform, you try to rush to the position of the gallows, it is the safest there, and my golem will come to save you after the explosion!
Liu Pengfei himself was in the middle of the high platform, he didn't know how powerful the explosion was, but the power was limited, the explosion could also cause some collapse, it would definitely cause chaos, he might really have a chance to escape? He looked at the direction of the gallows, most of the masters around him were attacking Luo Ling and a few people, and there was no obstacle in that direction, except for the woman beside him.
"I know!" Liu Pengfei got up from the ground, "Isn't it just that your glass heart is broken? Come on, aren't you angry? Aren't you very sad? It's like you hang me with your own hands." He grabbed the broken rope that still hung around his neck and walked towards the gallows, "Here you go!"
