Chapter Sixty-Nine: Attacking in the Shadows

The last two of the few men entered a warehouse at the bottom of the city wall. The warehouse seemed empty, but when the two of them reached the halfway point of the room, something shook in the air, and then their bodies began to become transparent from front to back, as if they had penetrated into another world, and disappeared into the room.

This is a kind of illusion enchantment in the room, and after the enchantment, there are already more than a dozen people waiting here, they are dressed in various clothes, and they look very messy. These people are familiar faces to many people in Heimu Pass. There were laborers, waiters, hunters, and blacksmiths, but most of them were newly recruited.

But in fact, they are all blackguards and spies who have hidden their abilities and then lurked early, the shortest of them has been lurking for a few months, and the longest has even been lurking for several years, but after a few days, everyone was awakened because of a special mission. The two people who came in were Baron Donia, who was in charge of logistics under Count Olgas, and the other was a fighting master Falco who had just crossed the mountains a few days ago and infiltrated the Blackwood Pass from the cliff on the side of the pass.

The mountains on both sides of Heimu Pass are extremely steep, and there are special soldiers in charge of guarding them, and those who are less powerful have no means to come down from the mountains. Generally speaking, master-level warriors and mages would not have performed such missions, and if it weren't for Falco's own mission, they wouldn't have appeared here.

Baron Donia was the one who had been in the room to encourage everyone before, he had been lurking in the Blackwood Pass for the longest time, and he was also a spy in the empire for the longest time, and he had been in the kingdom long before the establishment of the Blackguard. However, since the establishment of the Black Guard, His Majesty the Emperor has handed over to him the command of the Black Guard lurking around. Everyone thought he was a low-level warrior who didn't have much ability, but few people knew that he was a high-level mage with hidden strength.

Falco, on the other hand, was a master sent by the Emperor to carry out sabotage missions. Originally, their plan was to assassinate Olgas or secretly open the door from the inside when the Empire attacked Heimu Pass, but now, the appearance of Chinese and Chinese artillery forced them to change their plans. Both Baron Donia and Master Falco felt that this magical weapon was more valuable than Olgas's head, so they made up their minds to take action.

Baron Donia took out a pile of equipment from his storage ring, and everyone in the room changed their clothes and weapons according to their needs. When they were ready, four mages and twelve warriors appeared in the room.

Baron Donia said, "I have already probed Olgas's arrangement. There is a dark elf and a human high-ranking warrior in charge of guarding the Chinese cannon. Olgas secretly arranged four teams of men in a nearby room to capture us imperial 'spies'. ”

"Four times as many enemies as ours?" asked one of the mages.

Baron Donia said, "No, we have two warriors mixed into their ranks. If all goes well with them, only half of the team will remain. The goal of you warriors is to hold these people down. ”

Seeing that the faces of these soldiers changed slightly, he comforted: "As long as our actions are smooth, you only need to delay them for ten minutes." ”

He pulled out four blocks with magical runes on them, which looked rough and powerful, and didn't match the style of the Imperial Kingdom. He handed them to the four mages, and said, "The task of the mages is to maintain an enchantment, isolate the room with the cannons from the outside, and Master Falco and I are responsible for solving the Chinese guards inside, and then set up the teleportation array, and when we teleport away the cannons, I will let you let go of the enchantment, and then lead the rest of the people to evacuate." ”

At this time, a soldier who was letting off the wind at the gate ran over and whispered: "There is a fire in the town!"

Baron Donia announced: "Action. ”

The alchemical potion poured out by Baños was colorless and odorless, completely unnoticed by others, and the liquid was extremely volatile, and it was quickly dispersed into the air and inhaled by others.

Their captain had already seen the fire in the town below, and he said disdainfully, "The incompetent Imperial people will only play these tricks to attract attention, and it is useless for them to toss around down there, so we will stay here." ”

"Captain, it looks like someone has come up. One of the fighters said.

"Imperials! I'm going to teach them a lesson. The captain waved his hand, and everyone prepared to rush out.

At this moment, Baños smashed another crystal bottle to the ground, and the potion inside splattered out, turning into gas at an extremely fast speed. This gas has a pungent smell, which is the opposite of the previous potion. Both the captain and the other team members looked back in surprise at the place where the bottle was broken.

"What's going on...... "The captain said that he got stuck in the middle of the sentence, his body became very stiff, and the movements of the others also stopped, and they stood still one by one, and then maintained their original position, turning into statues. If there is a light in the room at this time, you can see that their bodies have turned to gray stones, and they have completely lost their life.

Baños wields an extremely murderous alchemical potion, petrified water. It is very expensive, and requires a combination of two different potions to take effect, but it is difficult to resist.

Baños hurried out of the room, although Baron Donia told him that he could avoid being petrified by covering his mouth and nose, but he was still afraid, and when he ran to the door, he suddenly found that his movements were becoming more and more difficult, and he used his fighting energy, hoping to add some strength, but found that the fighting energy was blocked in his body, and it was difficult to function. Then he found himself stopped, his body fixed in a running position. However, he couldn't control his balance in this position, and he fell to the ground, not knowing anything.

The same thing happened in another room, and another Imperial Black Guard unknowingly sacrificed his life and a group of Count Olgas's elites.

Baron Donia ran through the room with the men and saw Baños lying in the doorway, and said: "Our companions have destroyed ten times as many enemies at their own expense. Now it's our turn. ”

The crowd behind him was silent, but they followed Baron Donia with their weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the room where the pneumatic cannon was. By this time, the Kingdom warriors who had been in ambush in the other two rooms had already escaped. They hadn't figured out why there were so few people in ambush, but the menacing Imperials didn't have time to think about it, so they met them.

The forces of the two sides slammed into each other on the stairs of the wall.
