Nils's suspicions were not groundless, and although the combat effectiveness of the thugs was negligible, the sudden appearance of the mercenaries was something he did not expect. Their presence caused the church to look like a decoy, a decoy to attract intruders. Nils wasn't sure what to do next, and he thought it would be best to wait and see, but Freya and Erin might need their own support.

He had faced many dilemmas like the one he was in now, and in the end, Nils had to choose the safest option. This is not the Ardennes, not a place of yellow sand where someone will make up for a mistake you made. He used his condescending vantage point to observe the streets and alleys he could see, trying to spot something.

"Nils may be in trouble. During the brief break in the fight, Freya whispered to Erin as she passed by.

Erin didn't subconsciously look up at the tower, as the mercenary leader followed her closely behind and tried to split her in half. She couldn't answer now, she had to deal with the opponent in front of her. These mercenaries are much better than thugs, they know how to use firearms, and they also know how to combine swords and firearms to attack. To be honest, Erin thinks the fight is a bit tough.

The mercenary leader wasn't stupid, when Erin tried to distance herself with bullets. He also stopped his steps and drew his pistol faster than Erin's movements. Now that he had the upper hand, Erin had to dodge when she saw that she had turned her gun on herself. The mercenary leader fired as she wished, and the bullets whistled out and grazed Irene's shoulder blades.

"Damn it......" Erin cursed and fired a shot back at the mercenary leader. But he had already been prepared to raise his long sword to block the bullet, he was not a person who cherished weapons. Maybe for a person like him, there are as many good weapons as there are. But in short, his behavior is not approved by most swordsmen.

He looked like he was about to tear Erin apart, and after such a long struggle, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and he was almost broken by the other party's shoulder blade just now. On the other side, Freya's difficulties were not as great as Erin's, and it could even be said that it was easy, and the mercenaries she faced only fought her for no more than two rounds before she became a corpse on the ground.

As the battle progresses, Erin gradually discovers a problem. That is, the mercenary leader in front of him is not as proficient in using firearms as an Aradd, and his height is also in line with the height of a celestial person. Perhaps from the very beginning she was bewitched by the Arad-style attire and the long sword commonly used by the Araddians, and she began to be suspicious until the other man suddenly spoke the first words of the battle.

"I didn't expect the guys from the Imperial Capital to appear in such a place, which really surprised me. He sneered and slashed at Erin.

Erin hurriedly dodged the other party's sword, this guy was indeed a celestial, and a member of Kallert. When she learned the truth, Erin was less surprised and confused. Now she finally had enough reason to kill this Arad who she thought she didn't know, she shouldn't have believed in the illusion on the surface from the beginning, she felt that she was really being put on a role by the other party.

The mercenary leader turned, raised his greatsword and placed it on his chest, and aimed his pistol on it. At this moment, the latter leaped forward regardless of the danger, throwing out the blade chain and smashing it at the opponent. The mercenary leader pulled the trigger, and in his eyes, Irene's head would be shattered by the automatic pistol in his hand. However, the flying chains blocked the bullet and counterattacked, the blade of the spear flashing through the mercenary leader's arm before he could react.

Erin's counterattack was barely completed, so the damage dealt by the blade was limited, otherwise the guy's entire arm would have been removed from his body by the sharp blade. The mercenary leader, on the other hand, was surprised that Erin was able to dodge bullets and complete a counterattack in this situation, he had not been to the imperial capital, but he also knew that there were groups in the imperial capital that used this special weapon with a blade attached to the revolver.

"Interesting. The mercenary leader sneered. "The Imperial Courtyard, huh?"

"Congratulations, you guessed it. Freya's voice came from not far away, and beside her lay the corpses of all the other mercenaries who had rushed out of the church. "Is there anything you'd like to say?" Freya raised her automatic pistol and aimed it at the mercenary leader's head.

"Do you really think you've won?" the mercenary leader couldn't help but laugh, and while it was true that this was a development he hadn't expected, he couldn't say that his attack was a failure anyway.

"Who knows. Freya shrugged.

"But let's win a game first. The mercenary leader gave a strange smile. "I think you're interested in what's in the church, right? He suddenly swung his sword and rushed at Erin, while with the other hand he raised his automatic pistol and continuously pulled the trigger at Freya, killing all the remaining bullets in the magazine.

Although on the surface his attacks appear to be ferocious, in reality there is no precision at all. But judging by the confident look on his face, it looked like he did it on purpose. Erin dodged the sword with ease, then threw out the chain around his neck and pulled it hard at her side. Freya once again aimed at the mercenary leader's head, and Erin raised her rifel with her other hand and slashed his throat with a revolver, and Freya's bullet shattered his skull.

"What do you think?" asked Erin, looking at the mercenary leader's corpse, to Freya.

"It's a little weird, let's go see what's going on over there in Nils. Freya shook her head uncertainly, then walked towards the tower where Nils was.

Nils doesn't stop supporting the two for no reason, which is why the two want to figure out what's going on. Nils poked his head out of the top of the tower and whistled at the two on the ground. The two looked up at Nils. Then they breathed a sigh of relief, and Nils looked fine and didn't have any trouble.

"It seems that our worries are unfounded. Freya reluctantly spread her hands to Erin.

"Anyway, he's fine. Erin smiled and nodded.

A cloud of parchment was thrown from the top of the tower and smashed into Irene's head. "What?" she looked up, trying to ask Nils for an explanation, but the poked head back.

"Let's take a look. Freya picked up the parchment ball and unfolded it.

"What did he write?" asked Erin.

"Be vigilant when entering the church, there's a good chance we'll fall into ...... Trap?" Freya looked up in confusion, Nils probably wouldn't be in the mood to make such a joke at this time, so there was a good chance that what he wrote was true. As for falling into a trap, although the two noticed something unusual in the battle with the mercenary, they never thought that it would be a trap.

Erin looked back at the gray church, which now became more mysterious in Erin's eyes. "Traps?"

"Interesting, isn't it?" Freya couldn't help but laugh. "Since it's a trap, Nils insists on letting us in, and it seems that there is something in the church that we can all care about. ”

"Let's go check it out. ”
