Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ignited Flames of War
Maffeo was woken up in a daze, something that happened almost every morning no longer had any effect on him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But accidents are always around people, just like now.
The door to the room was almost knocked down, and Maffeo lay on the bed and muttered, "Oh my God, this is over...... "This is over" He tried to cover his ears with a pillow to ward off the noise, but he was answered by a louder knock.
Maffeo finally couldn't resist the cacophony, and he crawled out of bed a little impatiently, his feet on the ground, as he had done most of the time, when he was almost squirming.
Maffeo opened the door with sleepy eyes, only to see three figures standing in his doorway. This surprised him a little, after all, he always thought that the person who could do such a boring thing must be the bastard Marcos.
Celia gasped as Freya and Camilli stood behind her, and the expressions on the faces of the three of them looked bad, especially Freya. For now, at least, Maffeo realizes that something bad is coming.
He raised his hands, as if in some kind of prayer, and he said, "Well, tell me what's going on again?"
"There are invaders, it's the Delos Empire. Celia replied.
"They have invaded the town. Freya added.
Obviously this is not good news, and Maffeo whispered, "Oh my God, is it still here......"
He rubbed his face, then grabbed his great sword against the wall and rushed downstairs. Although Selia wanted to say something, Maffeona had already taken a step that she couldn't catch up with anyway. Freya and Camille followed, and there was no time for the little things to worry about.
As soon as Maffeo stepped out of the door, the first sight he saw was almost incredulous. This place is no longer as lively as it used to be, and it has become a Shura field. The corpses scattered all over the ground in front of him were a sign of the battles that had taken place here, and the corpses of the Duchy guards and the soldiers of the Delos Empire were stacked on top of each other, and they were still attacking as if they were alive.
"God, where are you, Marcos?" Maffeo couldn't help but panic for a moment, the first person he would think of in this chaotic situation was Marcos. He seemed to remember something again, and turned back to the two who came up with him, "How is old Mr. Edward?"
"I've already let him stay in our room, don't worry, Celia will take care of him. Freya replied.
"That's good. ”
It was just a street away from the market area, and the commotion could already be heard from the market area, mixed with the sound of weapons colliding with each other.
Maffeo started to run, leaving them far behind, and although Freya was shouting his name, he didn't hear it in the noise.
"It's a real headache, let's go find Kelly. Freya said to Camille, who nodded.
Maffeo came to the market area, where there was a fierce battle, but he took pity on the stalls, and the dazzling array of goods was scattered everywhere under the fighting.
"Maffeo, help me!" Norton's voice came not far away.
Maffeo followed the prestige, and the three soldiers of the Delos Empire were scavenging for his valuable research materials, which were almost life-like to Norton. Ironically, the soldiers looked like a bunch of robbers to Maffeo's eyes.
Maffeo rushed straight at him, crashing past the soldiers on both sides of the battle, knowing that he didn't have time to waste on the road.
As if noticing Maffeo, the three soldiers stopped their search, and they turned around, spears in hand, staring warily at Maffeo as he was getting closer and closer. Norton tried to retrieve the materials, but in front of the soldiers, he was nothing more than a helpless old man.
"Ha, this kid thinks he's a hero. The leading soldier made a mocking sound, which also provoked Maffeo's anger.
Maffeo slashed his greatsword at the asshole who had made him angry, and the other man dodged his slash with just an easy dodge. The greatsword lost its target and slashed at the ground like a blind man.
The other soldier swept his spear towards Maffeo, and although Maffeo tried to block the attack, the soldier was not a rat, and his movements were extremely fast. Although he failed to stab Maffeo, the spear struck Maffeo in the waist.
Maffeo clutched his waist and hurriedly stepped back, these guys can't solve it alone, they are also soldiers who have been through many wars.
He wrestled with the three soldiers as he searched for Freya and Camille. In the midst of this chaotic scene, they never appeared in their sight. At this time, Maffeo felt a little remorseful in his heart, he was still too reckless anyway.
"Great hero, it seems that you are a little powerless. Still the same soldier who had laughed at him before, he stabbed the spear in his hand towards Maffeo.
This kind of ferocious attack must not be able to resist head-on, and Maffeo is not sure that his greatsword will be able to successfully withstand his spear, so in this case, he has to take dodge measures.
However, this was not a wheel battle, and the other soldiers were not fools, and the remaining two soldiers swarmed up with spears to pick Maffeo into a meat skewer.
Maffeo, who had stabilized his figure, barely raised his sword to block the attack, and at that moment, the soldier from before rolled up a cloud of dust and stabbed at Maffeo with his spear. Without the help of others, this attack would have been impossible to dodge, Maffeo thought, and he felt a little powerless.
The black knife pierced the soldier's chest, blood strewn across the black blade, and his eyes widened in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it was real. With the withdrawal of the sword, his lifeless body fell to the ground.
The two soldiers standing in front of Maffeo were startled at this time, and before they could react, an arc of light flashed in front of them. Since then, both of them have had an extra wound on their necks from a sharp blade.
"Need help?" a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
Maffeo looked up, and Marcos was looking at him with a smile on his face.
The other party stretched out his right hand, and Maffeo smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Of course." ”
"So, what the hell is going on?" asked Maffeo, who stood up.
"This group of imperial troops is really powerful, forget it, I can't care so much, follow me to the city hall, the leader is there. Marcos beckoned, motioning for Maffeo to come with him.
"Wait. Maffeo walked up to Norton and helped him untie the rope, and the latter was cursing at the corpses of the Imperial soldiers almost instantly, apparently angering Norton with their actions.
"Master Norton, I think you should look at those things. Maffeo pointed to his research materials.
Norton patted his forehead and said with a little gratitude, "You reminded me, thank you so much for your help." ”
"It should all be done, right?" asked Marcos.
"Yes, but it's ...... here," Maffeo gestured to the soldiers on both sides who were still fighting not far away.
"I guess we don't have to meddle with that, Freya and Camilli will take care of them. ”
"You see them?"
"That guy was with them, too. Marcos pouted in the direction where the Moonlight Tavern was.
Maffeo looked, and the figure he least wanted to see appeared in his sight—Kelly.
"I guess we'd better hurry to City Hall. Maffeo said quickly.
"You're out of ......" Marcos shook his head.
Kelly frowned at all this in front of her, and she sighed softly: "Can't you avoid war no matter where you are?"
"Let's go up, at least we can stop what is happening right now. Freya pulled out her automatic pistol.
"You're right, lovely Freya. Kelly held out a hand. "Can you lend me a weapon? I don't have a gun. ”
Freya handed Kelly another automatic pistol from her waist, who fiddled with it for a moment and said to herself, "Okay, at least this is my ...... fix"
The three of them rushed towards the fierce crowd, and the flames of battle had been completely ignited......
