Not long after Xiao Chen finished casting the freezing magic, the two horses they were riding were exhausted, and the four of them had to go down on foot.

Xiao Chen and Tasia both unleashed their flying skills on themselves, and both floated a foot above the ground, while Roger and Belia pulled them separately, relying on their fighting spirit to move forward quickly. On rainy nights, this is far faster and safer than the mage himself using the flying arts.

"Mark!" Xiao Chen said, he had night vision, and he was the first to notice a white cloth hanging from a big tree in the distance, "After that, you will enter the ambush area!"

He glanced back, and at the end of his gaze there seemed to be figures dancing between the trees.

"Let's go, we have one last leg to go, and then it's safe. ”

"Will they all be killed if they catch up?" asked Tasia suddenly.

"Then it's up to the people in the Temple of Nature to choose their own choices. Tasia in the night hid her face in the shadows, but she couldn't hide Xiao Chen's eyes, he could see a trace of sadness on her face, and he asked, "Something unbearable?"

"That's not it, how can the Alonso family sympathize with the enemy?" "I don't think I've seen a lot of these tricks, but when I was in my hometown, I felt that I could feel more relaxed without those people and things I hated." But in the royal capital, I saw more and more absurd tragicomedies, and today, I starred in one of them again. ”

"You, the heroine, do you empathize with the supporting characters who are about to end?"

"It's just not worth it, for them and for us. These people are used as pawns in the game of power by the high priests, and you and I are slightly more important pawns than them, and in the end, all of us humans are pawns in the game of gods. ”

"Maybe that's the reason why the Seven Pagoda Mages are unwilling? I'd rather be a screw on the machine, where it should be, than a chess piece to be pinched and taken around. Xiao Chen replied.

Webber was also flying, but as a high-level mage, he was more proficient in mastering magical energy, and he didn't need someone to fly a kite for him to reach faster speeds.

Seeing the four people in front of him getting closer and closer to them, he felt some waves in his heart.

"Today things are getting more and more wrong. Webb said to Raul.

"What's the matter? It's almost catching up. What are you babbling about?" asked Raul as he stopped.

"Yepes is gone, and the few who ran in front of him haven't followed, and what's even stranger is these people in front, don't you notice that they are very different from the other people who escaped? They are very calm, and they always know what they are going to do and where they are going! Have you ever chased such a target before?"

Raul stopped abruptly, and as soon as he raised his hand, the Assassins around him stopped.

He frowned and thought, "I don't think something is right when you say that. I felt that way, but I didn't really care about it at the time, well, where was it? By the way, it was a carriage! and footprints!"

"What carriage?"

"We looked at the overturned carriage, and it was so clean! You know, the nobles and the mages enjoyed it, and they would keep wine and food in the carriage, not only for themselves, but also for other friends. But there was nothing in that carriage, like, like ......"

"Deliberately reducing weight also reduces the likelihood of spilling food and adding to the trouble, it's designed to escape!" Webber said.

"Yes, and those footprints too, the average team will hesitate at the fork in the road to discuss which way to go, leaving some messy footprints. But they did not hesitate to choose a fork in the road, as if they had already known how to go. Raul's face was already very ugly as he said this, and he scanned the dark forest around him, as if someone would jump out of the bushes at any moment.

Webber's expression was equally solemn, "It seems that this is a trap, we can't go any deeper, Sancho is afraid that he can see it, and the four guys who are sneaking away are probably also seeing it, only we are still chasing down in a daze!"

"Damn! why didn't Sancho say it?"

"I don't think he's sure or he's part of the project. Besides, what does it matter to him whether we live or die?" Webb sighed, "haven't you found out yet? ”

"We're going to stop now. We won't chase this man!" Raul decided, "Spread out, be on guard, let's retreat." ”

One of the Assassins had barely taken two steps outside when two arrows silently struck from the shadows, and he quickly avoided one and slashed the other, only to be shot in the shoulder by the third.

"Enemy attack!" he said, and was shot in the head with a fourth arrow.

His roar was like a clarion call for attack. Dense arrows came from all directions. It was far more than when they ambushed Xiao Chen at that time.

"Follow me and break west!" shouted Raul.

He was responded to by a more intensive build-up.

Raul drummed up his fighting spirit, burned it to the extreme, and carried the arrows forward, he wanted to kill the few guys in front of him who were shooting arrows while retreating. However, these people are very sophisticated raiders, and even in the wooded woods, they can still keep their distance from him in the midst of constant attacks.

It was Webber behind him, who manipulated the unleashed fire spear technique like a flying fire snake, shuttling to kill several enemies. The arrows fired by the other party were all deflected by his shield.

The sound of the drizzling rain was mixed with low or high-pitched screams, and the surrounding assassins fell one by one.

Raul again split a few arrows in vain, and said in a deep voice: "Old man, I have bad news for you, I know who these people are. I've been in the Knights Templar before, and I know there's only one team in the world that fights like this, and that's the Knights of the Tempest!"

"What?!"

"We must have been involved in a very disgusting incident, and they will not let us go today. But you have to go out and spread the word about it, and tell Yepez and Lord Altu! or we'll die like rats. ”

"But ......"

Before Webber could finish speaking, Raul grabbed him by the collar and belt, and threw him into the air with all his fighting energy, and he himself was shot into a hedgehog in that moment because he lost his fighting defense.

Webber saw Raul's fate in the air, but he didn't have time to grieve, he once again used his flying skills in the air, preparing to flee from here.

He had just adjusted his posture, and when he looked up, he saw a figure stop in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you escape. The person who came was Xiao Chen, he stretched out a hand and pointed at Weber, and the magic that he had prepared instantly burst out.

For Webb, who was frightened one after another, heard about the great secret, and saw the tragic death of his companions, the Heart of Fear magic had a two-hundred-percent effect. With a scream, Webb's magic power went out of control and he fell from the air.

Roger leapt from among the trees, his sword arcing in the dim sky, and a single sword slashed at the falling mage.
