Chapter 5: The First Battle

The attackers outside the city exerted increasing pressure, and the defenders inside the city kept passing outside the gate where Wu Xin and the others were to defend the gate and the city wall.

"It's been five minutes since anyone passed, it seems that there is no more mobility in the castle that can be mobilized, and there is no one from here to the main corridor, let's act!"

Gonzalez stood up and picked up his two-handed sword.

"Good luck to you!"

"So are you."

The group then headed to the main corridor, where they parted ways.

Not long after walking a few steps, Villefort said to Wu Xin: "The two of us are the main combat power, and we can't afford to lose it, you go ahead to explore the way." ”

"You're a wanderer, you're the least likely to be exposed when you go ahead, and you can take advantage of the surprise attack." Deliya refuted Wu Xin before he could, and added a threat. "Don't upset me. Otherwise, I may not be able to find the material when you get injured. ”

Wu Xin followed up cooperatively: "The fate points that this mysterious existence Alpha can give us are indeed things that can change fate, and we should seize the opportunity to work together." ”

'Hmph, delusional Englishmen, you don't count the zeros behind those things that can change your fate. Villefort cursed inwardly, but he did not dare to anger the priest, so he could only open the way in front of him with indignation.

There weren't many candles in the hallway, and although it was daytime, there was no light at all, and the group of three moved quickly against the wall.

"Keep up, my magic won't cure serious injuries." Delia turned her head to Wu Xin and said. "By the way, what is a due?"

Villefort's body stiffened all of a sudden, and on the island of Malta, the French were more than ten times more than the English, but here they were one to two.

"It's just a mutual aid association's activity fee, and I have a little disagreement with Villefort on the percentage of payment, but it's a small problem." Wu Xin's explanation made Villefort relax his tense body slightly.

"Ah, Mutual Aid Society, I see." Delia quickly showed a clear expression, she was obviously not a deep boudoir girl with ten fingers that did not touch the spring water.

"Hey, how do you go back, Lord Earl has given the order, everyone is going to help defend the city............"

At this moment, a rebuke suddenly rang out.

It was too dark in the hallway, and a man who seemed to be dressed as a butler stood in front with a candle in his hand, thinking that a servant was running away from the battle.

When Villefort saw that there was only one person who spoke, he did not hesitate to move immediately,

His muscles were in tension, and all at once they burst out with great force, and the butler didn't even see the human face, and a dagger was inserted into his chest.

Delia quickly followed, caught the oil lamp in his hand, and pushed him into a room in the hallway, which was empty.

Villefort held a dagger in one hand and pinched the butler's mouth with the other, so that he could not make a sound.

Wu Xin's movements were a little slower, but stronger than the previous one, and he followed.

"Wear his clothes." Deliya said to Wu Xin while pulling off the housekeeper's clothes.

There was a little blood on the black vest and it was not a big problem, while the white shirt was lucky to have no blood on it.

The butler also had a short sword on his body, and Wu Xin also copied it on his body, and then picked up the candle and said to Villefort: "Now I can go the first one." ”

The first thing to be coerced is cannon fodder, and the first to take the initiative after getting a weapon and camouflage is to show courage.

The soldiers of the castle had gone to battle, and the few remaining servants were in a state of panic.

So in the next ten minutes, Wu Xin and the three of them passed through the two halls very smoothly, although a few servants felt that the three of them were very raw, but no one dared to interrogate Wu Xin, who was dressed as a housekeeper, and the earl's son-in-law brought a few newcomers, who occupied a high position as soon as they came, causing confusion to the management.

However, when it came to the place where the earl's brother was under house arrest, it was not so easy.

"Hey, what's the matter with you two, Lord Earl has an order, everyone has to go up the city wall!"

Seeing two guards guarding the door from a distance, Wu Xin reprimanded them loudly.

"But Lord Kars has ordered us not to leave here even in an emergency." The two guards looked at each other, puzzled, but had no intention of getting out of the way.

"They call the alchemist by his name, he is a cronie, and he comes hard." When he had just tortured the servant, Villefort already knew the alchemist's name, and as soon as he heard the words of the two guards, he knew that he could not fool himself.

"Be careful, it's so stuffy here, but they haven't taken off their helmets, and Changge is always holding it in his hand, and his strength will not be bad." Deliya also reminded Wu Xin to be careful, and the few soldiers they all saw along the way all held their helmets in their hands, and they were not so cautious.

"It's a very urgent situation right now." Wu Xin said sternly to the two loyal guards, he put one hand on the short sword behind his back and leaned forward with his head held high.

"What? What is your name? How come it has never been ............." The two guards didn't find out that it was bad until Wu Xin and they came closer.

"You are worthy to ask the butler's name, too?" Wu Xin slammed into the guards while confusing them for the last time.

The guards who were caught off guard were knocked against the wall by Wu Xin, and his weapon was Changge, and the most important thing was to shorten the distance.

At the same time as Wu Xin attacked, Villefort also attacked, and while he also pressed the guard, he also stabbed the dagger towards the gap between the guard's helmet and neck armor.

Wu Xin pressed one of the guard's arms with his body and one hand, and then plunged the short sword into the joint of his arm with the other hand.

The armor in that place was thin, and the hands of the guards were nailed into the lime walls.

Wu Xin and Villefort cooperated better than they had just done, but unlike the butler, the guard was not killed immediately.

The guard's body was held down, but he twisted his head desperately, and Villefort couldn't even stab a few times into the small gap.

However, as Wu Xin freed his hands and held his head, the range of twisting his head finally became smaller and smaller.

Through the gap in his helmet, Villefort could already see the sweaty, terrified face.

"Ahh Help me, save me. Seeing that the dagger was about to squeeze in and cut his carotid artery, the guard let out a miserable wail and cried out to his companion for help.

Although his companions had their own guests at this time, Delia's mace was a more effective weapon for heavy armor.

But the friendship of standing guard together for many years, and the fear of death, made the other guard decide to save his companion no matter what, and he turned around desperately when he was struck by Delia's hammer on the arm, and although the arm was immediately numb, he finally rushed to his companion and launched an attack.

As soon as Villefort saw Changge swinging in, he immediately retreated.

The guards did not chase Villefort either, but took a step closer and slashed at Wu Xin again.

One of the guards' hands that had lost the pressure of Villefort could also move, and they attacked Wu Xin with a fist.

The distance was too close, Wu Xin could only barely dodge Changge, no matter what, he couldn't dodge the punch that was close at hand.

He was punched in the face.

These guards wore iron gloves in their hands, and this punch beat Wu Xin to the point that his mouth was full of broken teeth and blood, and the exposed tooth nerves sent painful signals to the brain.

Despite this, Wu Xin didn't dodge back, he hugged the guard whose hand was still pinned to the strong, making it impossible for him to support his companions, while his body blocked Changge's follow-up attack.

It was too late for the guards, who were holding Go, to turn around, and Delia's mace hit his helmet again.

The force of the blow caused him to lose his sense of direction, staggering and unable to turn, completely exposing the gap between the helmet and the armor to Villefort.

Compared to the front, the gap in the back is already much larger.

Villefort didn't miss his chance as he stomped on the guard's knee, sending him to his knees.

Then he grabbed his head and plunged the dagger into his neck through the slit.

Blood gushed out of the large veins, and after a few seconds, the guard was incapacitated and could only wait for death in the cold of blood loss.

Without hesitation, Villefort drew his dagger, and then pounced on the guards who were being held by Wu Xin.

Like his companions, he was cut from behind.

"You look at the corridor, maybe there will be reinforcements, I'll find the key to open the door." Killing people was not a problem at all for Villefort, and he nodded to Wu Xin. "Well done, boy."

"So are you." Wu Xin's face was the blood of the guards, his mouth was his own blood, and his teeth were still wailing, but his senses were numb.

It was his first time killing someone, and the feeling of killing his own kind in a real life-and-death contest was impacting him.

"Well done, and I didn't throw up, better than I expected." There was a trace of blood on Deliya's face, she didn't care, just patted Wu Xin's shoulder.

Wu Xin responded with a smile, but he himself knew that he must have laughed very badly.

There was chaos in the castle, and the clamor of the siege outside provided cover for this small battle, until Villefort opened the lock and no one came to the corridor.

They opened the door, and a well-dressed old gentleman was already standing in the doorway.

"My lord, we were sent by the church to set things right."

Villefort used the lines prepared by Wu Xin this time.

But the earl's brother's reaction when he saw the savior was very strange, Wu Xin could not see any joy in his blood-red eyes, only mania and hostility.

His movements were not even the excitement of salvation, his hands were dancing, and his mouth was still speaking in a strange rhythmic language.

Although he had never seen this kind of action or heard this kind of language, Wu Xin immediately understood the meaning.

The person in front of him was using magic, and not only that, but he could also name it.

"Be careful! Magic Missile! ”
