Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fishing in Troubled Waters

The surprise of the city guards surrounding the house continued, and another fireball shot diagonally from above the pitch-black room, targeting the two unlucky people on the ground who were constantly twisting their bodies and rubbing their eyes desperately, explaining the true meaning of beating the water dogs and not forgetting to fight to the death.

After turning the "loud voice" into two humanoid roast pigs, the sound of screaming inside and outside the house reached a climax, until the fire gradually went out, and the sound of wailing gradually became smaller.

In the blink of an eye, the high-ranking backbone of the seven city guards turned into cold or charred corpses, and the night sky was filled with an unpleasant smell of roasted meat, not to mention, the atmosphere became strange, and the originally high morale was also lowered, and many city guards who witnessed this terrible situation felt dry mouth and chills.

Damn, bounties aren't that easy to get!

The idea is so hard, and the shot is ruthless enough!

Fortunately, Lao Tzu's strength was insufficient and he was not transferred to the advance team.

For a while, there was a commotion among the city guard soldiers on the inner and outer three floors, and they had all kinds of messy thoughts.

Many people secretly shouted luck, they thought that the huge reward was simply given for nothing, and they were not selected to beat their chests for a long time, but now a corpse with a colleague made them immediately have an epiphany, it turned out that it was not good, let alone taking money, even their lives were given in vain.

Ivan Stipild's face turned blue with anger, and he roared angrily, and shouted to his subordinates, who were hesitant, and said: "There are only three of them in all, so I will scare you like this!

Normer and the others' stubborn resistance completely aroused the raging anger in his heart, as well as the extreme cruelty of his heart, and decisively changed the original plan of slowly torture and kill with a living mouth.

No one answered.

Several officers standing at the front of the military formation looked at each other, silently comparing their ranks, combat power levels, qualifications, and the thickness of their faces, and finally looked at a colleague with blazing eyes.

The officer, who had retreated in time and had escaped the boy's first blow, looked to the left and right, and could not help but feel secretly bitter in his heart that he had been "lucky" to be the highest-ranking officer in the front row! A group of comrades looked at him with sincerity, and he could not help but pretend to be confused.

In other words, now whether he wants it or not, it is his turn to lead the team to carry out the orders of Grand Commander Ivan, otherwise, he will be kicked out.

"Order!" reluctantly shouted his loyalty, and the officer, who was a little lucky, stepped forward, turned to face a subordinate and began to prepare for the second round of the offensive.

Feeling the fierce gaze from above, the sleek officer quickly determined his tactics, his fingers flicked, and then with a wave of his hand, he transferred a squadron of City Guard soldiers, and then wrapped himself in the crowd and launched a charge.

It's not stupid to be able to mix up to this level, the Great Commander is right, there are only three enemies in total, so many people rush in one breath, no matter how strong the enemy is, no matter how tacit the cooperation is, it is impossible to be all-encompassing, no matter how good the eyes are, it is impossible to accurately find yourself in the crowd of people, and then make a special attack, right?

In fact, it's really no wonder that this officer is cowardly, the officers who died first under the cooperation of the three of Normer are all good fighters above the third level in the city guard, the elite of the absolute elite, and the pillar of the backbone!

The consequences of losing them tonight will be evident in the days to come.

From the mouth of Daenis, who was naked and subjected to severe interrogation, he learned that the murderers of his younger brother basically had about four levels of strength, and there was also a magician of the same level, Commander Ivan had done his homework, not only gathered a large number of elites of his own city guards, but also specially hired the most powerful sixth-level magician in the city, the red-clothed Joe Pryde, in order to kill the murderers in a net, and enshrine their heads and Danice's body together in front of the poor brother's grave, in order to comfort the younger brother's spirit in the sky, and by the way, to deter the people who have been quite impatient in recent years, so that they know who has the final say in Manchester City.

In order to be foolproof, Ivan Stipild also specially selected some elite officers as the advance team of the first wave to enter the attack.

To deal with a strong enemy, either do not move, or if you want to do it, you must strive to take the lead, suppress the enemy in one fell swoop, and destroy the enemy. It's useless to just pile up miscellaneous cannon fodder, the space of the mercenary headquarters is limited, you can't let hundreds of people rush in at once, right?

Therefore, Ivan even personally inquired about the specific tactics, and told the "loud voice" and other three fourth-level soldiers to line up in an inverted triangle formation in front of two and one behind, and rushed into the house when the door was broken.

Even if the opponent has the ability to clean up one or two of them, it is impossible to kill them all at once, so the four third-level soldiers who are immediately behind them can play a role, helping the first three to stabilize their positions, and at the same time receiving the elite soldiers of the follow-up brigade into the house to jointly encircle and suppress the murderer.

The city guards attached great importance to this encirclement and suppression operation from top to bottom, and did not underestimate Normer and them at all, just from the "loud voice" several hands holding thick shields made of stainless steel, it can be seen that these shields were deliberately used by the magicians in the army before the war, in addition to increasing the anti-magic effect, but also added a lightweight spell, holding in the hand is not much heavier than the ordinary wooden shield, with the strength of the "loud voice" fourth-level soldiers, can be held in the hand to fly up and down, covering themselves.

It can be said that the pre-war arrangements were quite targeted, and they should have been captured as soon as the war was successful.

I had no choice but to take precautions, but I didn't expect Chenxi to be so shameless and put a wooden barrel full of quicklime on the door!

The city guards who broke through the door violently patronized the attack from the chest and the front of the face, and never dreamed that the "turtle in the urn" thinking was so meticulous, although the steel shield raised by the two people in front of them covered the vital parts in front of them densely, but they forgot to beware of the top of their heads, and as a result, they were sprayed with quicklime sprayed from above and sprinkled all over their eyes!

The eyes are one of the most fragile parts of the human body, no matter how much ordinary people cultivate, it is impossible for them to cultivate their eyes to their homes, suffering from the huge pain and knee-jerk reaction of quicklime erosion of the eyes, and the third- and fourth-level soldiers are no different from ordinary people.

At this point in the story, I have to praise that the elite officer in charge of the second wave of attacks is quite knowledgeable in the art of war, and his mind is also very clear-headed, and he is very thoughtful, and before setting off, he deliberately secretly removed one of the two feathers on the top of his head, which is a sign of his status as a squadron leader.

Ivan Stipild took a deep breath helplessly, and saw if there were more ants and could eat the elephant raw.

The deafening sound of the drums inspired the intimid city guard soldiers and rekindled their inner fighting spirit.

"Roar!" shouted in unison to the majestic drums of the entire squadron, took a step forward together, struck their shields with their swords, and slowly trotted towards the mercenary hall where the lights were all out.

The black gate is like a monster's open mouth, waiting for its prey to fall into its net.

The wonderful scene began to play out.

Under the supervision of their own highest commander, more than 100 soldiers gathered together, roaring and rushing into the hall of the Red Chili Pepper Mercenary Group, scrambling to be the first to be the first to grab money and rob girls, and almost even the door frame was demolished.

Just as the officer who led the team inside had predicted, there was really not much time left for Normer and Dawn, and before the two of them had time to shoot a City Guard soldier each, the entire first floor of the hall was occupied by the City Guards who swarmed in, and it was almost impossible to swing their weapons smoothly!

Under the illumination of dozens of torches, the situation in the room was unobstructed, and the three targets standing on the second floor were extremely conspicuous, and at this time, without the command of the officer, more than a dozen brave soldiers rushed up the stairs leading to the second floor with a "whoosh".

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and knowing that standing below can only be beaten, these city guards mustered up the courage to kill the glittering "humanoid gold coins". The heavy boots stepped on the wooden plank, and the wooden staircase made a pitiful "creaking" trembling sound, making people worry about how long it would last in disrepair.

Dawn and Normer didn't have time to pay attention to them, and each aimed at one of the city guard soldiers downstairs, and as soon as the bowstring was released and the crossbow buckle was loosened, the two targets were shot separately.

Plitander, who was supposed to "serve the enemy" by magic, was very leisurely, and did not rush to make a move, and waited until the hall below was crowded with city guards, and there were no new soldiers at the door to pour in smoothly, and then he began to launch the "magic defense" that was previously located on the first floor.

There was a loud "boom", and in an inconspicuous part on the side of a pillar, an eyebrow-high flame gushed out, and in one fell swoop, seven or eight nearby city guards were swept into the sea of fire!

"There's a mechanism!" screamed the soldiers around them.

Pity these swaggering soldiers, how could they have thought that they would encounter a plot here, and the plot is so vicious, the height set is just near the eyes of people, and in an instant several soldiers were blinded in their eyes, and they fell to the ground crying;

Those who weren't burned to the eye were no better, and they didn't know what kind of ignition was used in the old butler's magic defense, and as soon as the flames touched them, they quickly spread along their clothes, and soon turned them into "human-shaped torches" one by one.

Compared to their blind companions who rolled all over the ground, these crying "humanoid torches" would beat violently and desperately save themselves, and the number of city guards crowded into the house was too large, and the action was not too big, and the city guards who were recruited could transmit the flames on their bodies to the innocents beside them, thus producing more humanoid torches that were hit.

In a very short period of time, more than a dozen more soldiers were affected by the flames.

Seeing that the scene was extremely chaotic and that there would be a stampede if nothing was done, the officer who led the attack in the crowd reacted decisively and shouted: "Cut them down!" After speaking, he raised his knife and slashed to death the subordinate who was about to squeeze to his side!
