When the sheriff saw that his subordinates had formed up their formation, he ordered them to set up arrows and draw their bows, and then shouted to the other side: "Which of you is the leader? Whoever it is, lay down your arms for me, and don't play tricks! I have no patience...... And those two mages, stand still and don't open your mouth!"

Of course, he was referring to Ban and Andy, who had a certain understanding of mages and sheriffs, and middle and low-level mages had to use spells and gestures to guide spells, as long as they were not given this opportunity, it would be fine, and now at this distance, archers should have an absolute advantage.

With the intervention of the army, the situation on the field took a sharp turn for the worse, and Ban couldn't help but change his face, he didn't expect the army in Death Bell City to react so quickly. In fact, the security forces were not so efficient originally, but some time ago, the assassins and iris mercenaries of Afterglow City made a big fuss in the slums, and the sheriff who felt greatly embarrassed had always had a black face recently, and whoever he caught was a reprimand.

His soldiers were made by him like rabbits with arrows, and they ran faster than anyone else when the wind blew them, and they felt that no matter how fierce the enemy was, they could not match the black face and loud voice of the commander. At least when encountering an enemy, he can still slash through with a sword, and in the face of the rampaging commander, he can only stand up and accept the reprimand.

Coupled with the large number of merchant mercenaries who have been coming in and out of the city recently, these outsiders have to do things almost every day. In order to prevent any uncontrollable scenes, the security personnel did not undress or remove their armor, and always sent personnel to monitor every move inside and outside the city.

Most importantly, the Count had secretly ordered before his departure to prepare for war. It depends on the development of the situation in the ruins of the temple, if the opportunity is right, start a war against Afterglow City, and of course, be prepared for the Afterglow City side to turn around and take the initiative to attack. The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the preparations are extremely cumbersome, especially in such a sensitive period, once those big-mouthed mercenaries and money-oriented businessmen get the slightest bit of news, it will definitely not be long before the entire Youtan will know that Death Knell City is preparing for war, not to mention the old neighbor Afterglow City, they will definitely be the first to learn the news.

Ben hesitated to escape, at this distance, although he had no way to hold the archers, he still had some certainty of escaping despite being injured. But in that case, what should Andy do, leaving him here is only a dead end. The mercenaries also stood on the spot, if they were caught and locked up by the security forces, not only would this mission fail, but it would be difficult to say whether they would be able to get out of prison alive.

The security forces ignored their struggles, and the accompanying infantry spread out in formation and soon approached. This is mainly to guard against spells, and when facing mages, it is not a good idea to nest together, which can easily be injured by a single spell.

The mercenaries soon had no need to worry about what to do, and the security forces had already made their choice. Their weapons were taken away and their hands were brutally tied behind their backs, and the slightest dissatisfaction was exchanged for punches and kicks.

Ben and Andy, as high-ranking mages, did not receive this kind of treatment, but there were still a few soldiers with sharp swords watching them fiercely, so as to prevent the mage from suddenly thinking about it and doing something drastic that would make the scene difficult to control.

Seeing that the infantry had finished their work, the sheriff also let the archers off guard, and he paced slowly on his tall horse, some knights tightly around him to keep him safe.

At least twenty corpses of mercenaries fell on the field, stumps and severed arms and cerebral plasma blood flowed all over the ground, Sheriff Sean frowned, this is not a small amount! The side that suffers will definitely not give up, they will retaliate, this is almost inevitable, Sean doesn't want that to happen, it will make a mess of the city.

Sean looked at the woman in the mercenary, this female archer was also disarmed, short sword, small shield, foot bow, quiver, dagger...... All sorts of bits and pieces were thrown to the ground. She didn't resist, in this case disobedience is only self-inflicted humiliation, for women, not only is it a common thing to be beaten in vain, but also to be rubbed with some oil by the way.

"What's your name?" said Sean, sitting on horseback, looking condescendingly at the beautiful woman. Her originally resolute countenance had a hint of haggardness, and she looked in a bad state. The battle started because of her, and now her teammates are in danger, and grievances and self-blame occupy her mind.

"My name is Dolores. Dear Lords. The woman looked at her with a little hope, trying to seize the last bit of life, "It's not what you think, we're just forced to fight back." ”

She turned to look at Ben and Andy, "Those two mages were just passing by, they just wanted to stop the atrocities of these people, and they didn't kill anyone. ”

It is true that there is no killing, whether it is spider webs, hypnotic patterns, or human immobilization, they are only means of restraint. In terms of effect, Ben and Andy really didn't kill anyone with their own hands. But in any case, because of their intervention, it is an indisputable fact that more than 20 mercenaries over there were completely wiped out.

It's like two people fighting, and he comes up and grabs one of them by the hands and feet, causing him to be beaten up by the other person. Whether this kind of guy is trying to prevent things from happening, or whether he is an accomplice on the other side, sometimes everyone knows it.

However, Sean has no intention of pursuing these things, and he came to solve the trouble rather than add more trouble. Since these two mages are not in the same group as these mercenaries, and they really don't use lethal spells, it can finally be said that they are in the past. If it is not necessary, Sean does not want to go to trouble with mages, mages themselves are a troublesome group, and it would be great to have less trouble at such an extraordinary time.

"Well, in that case, you two can leave. Sean said to Ben and Andy, "These dead guys may have accomplices coming to trouble you, you better leave immediately, don't make me more trouble, and leave the city." ”

"We can leave, Lord Sheriff. Ben performed a mage salute, "But the swamp passage hasn't been opened yet, and we have nowhere to go." ”

"Then go back!Where did you come from!Don't wander around the city and make trouble for me!" Sean was starting to get irritated again, and these damn mages just didn't have a good time. Don't you see that you are busy? If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush!

"We still have to pack our bags, and it might be a bit difficult to get out of town at night......" Ben seemed to be very considerate of Sean, and behaved very cooperatively.

"That's no problem. Sean took out a warrant from his arms, "It's only valid today, you can also go out of the city at night, I hope I won't see you again tomorrow, you have to promise!"

"I promise!" Ben promised with a smile on his face, "then, we'll take our leave." He took one last look at the mercenary, didn't say anything more, and pulled Andy away.

After walking a long way, Andy finally couldn't help but ask, "Ban, why do you want to help those mercenaries?

Ban said happily: "Only with a warrant can we go to the north safely, don't you want to go back to your hometown? Without a warrant, if you are suspected by the guards at the city gate, it will be very troublesome." ”

"But aren't you going to the south to get some spellcasting materials, and some good bones?" asked Andy, first stunned, and then confused.

"Spell casting materials can be bought anywhere, and it takes a lot of effort at most. As for the bones, don't you see so many fresh human bones just now, especially the one in the lead, it's quite a high-quality material!" Ban smiled more and more happily, "It's enough to use him as an immortal lieutenant." ”

"So you still have some work to do tonight?" Andy looked at Ben's smiling face. Ever since I learned that this close companion was a necromancer, I always felt that something was different from before. Ben treats himself as usual, no different than before, so what is the difference? Is it a smile? Why does the same smile make people feel a little chilly? Andy felt a little uneasy.

Seeing the two mages leave, Dolores looked back at Sean, the irascible sheriff looking at her as well, "So, what else do you have to say? Anyway, you've killed more than twenty people. I don't know what they did to you before, and I don't want to know, that's none of my business!"

The sheriff announced loudly, "They have paid for their crimes, now it's your turn! ”

"It's not fair!!" one of the mercenaries protested, "We're just being forced to do nothing." They provoked first, but now their skills are not as good as others, and they deserve to die. ”

"This is the rule among mercenaries!" another mercenary shouted, "We are just solving problems in our own way, you can't treat us like this." ”

"I can ——," the sheriff roared back in a louder voice, "What rules? I'm the rule here! I told you, if you don't allow private fighting, then you won't be allowed to fight privately! Anyone who violates it will be arrested, and you should be glad that I am a merciful person and didn't kill you directly! Thank you to the god of your faith! Thank you that I can too!"

Everyone looked at Sean in amazement, how dare this lawless guy compare himself to a god in public? If he was in the Alliance, such a guy would definitely be burned at the stake? So Youtan is really a barbaric, ignorant, backward and dirty country!

The sheriff's subordinates also felt that the chief's voice was particularly loud today, and as for casually talking about the gods, the chief didn't do this kind of thing once or twice. Anyway, the gods of the light camp are all enemies, and the gods of their own undead system don't like this place very much, they haven't seen their traces for many years, and it's hard to see even a believer or priest.

is arguing, in fact, it is not a dispute, it should be said that it is the one-sided sentence of the sheriff, and the weak protest of the mercenaries. A neat sound of horses' hooves sounded, and dozens of knights galloped over. The horses leap lightly and land at the same time, like drummers who are in perfect harmony. The crisp sound of the horse's hooves hitting the stone slab on the ground is rhythmic, heavy but not chaotic.

The cavalry soon approached, and one of the knights before him, who was clearly the leader, raised his iris shield in his hand, and at the same time pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and jogged a few steps to a halt. The other knights who followed behind saw the leader raise their shields and signaled, and they pulled the reins at the same time in a tacit understanding, and the well-trained war horses cooperated with the master's wishes, and after a few small steps, they stopped steadily. The whole team moved like a rabbit, quiet as a virgin, and the mercenaries were dumbfounded, not knowing where this was sacred.

The knight turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet and placed it on the horse's back hook, and Dolores stared at it, and couldn't help but look at it in amazement. I saw that the person who came was swordsman, starry eyes, his face was like a crown of jade, and his shoulder-length blonde hair was firmly tied behind his head with a few white ribbons. He is nearly two meters tall, with broad shoulders and long arms, and wears half-length metal armor commonly used by knights. Although he was tightly wrapped in armor and couldn't see the details of his body, his spirit and spirit were obviously also powerful, and he was not comparable to those poets and mages who were powerless. From the respectful demeanor and heartfelt respectful eyes of the knights behind him, it can be seen that he is strong enough to convince his subordinates, and he does not rely on other connections to sit in the position of leader.

The knight pressed one hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist and strode over, just in front of Doloris's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned. An archer?woman?seems to be beautiful?What kind of look is that?Is it despair or help?Why does she look pitiful?Have I done anything unforgivable to her?Who is she?Countless thoughts flashed in the knight's heart, and he was a little puzzled for a while, because there were too many women who had a special relationship with him, and it was not uncommon for one or two to remember clearly.

"Julian!" Dolores heard the sheriff shout, "is there anything wrong with you coming in such a hurry?

Julian Cleveland, the elder brother of Tang Mo's current body, the first heir to Death Knell City, and a high-level warrior who is respected by the people and loves countless women, instantly attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared. In fact, since he was born, no matter where he is, he has always been the object of attention, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of treatment.

"Indeed, we have found traces of the Knights Templar. Julian pulled Sean aside and whispered.

The sheriff's black face had darkened to the bottom of the pot, and he asked in the same whisper, "Knights Templar of the Church of Radiance? ”

Julian nodded, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, and there is only one reason I can think of for appearing at this sensitive time." ”

Sean gritted his teeth, and a word popped out of his mouth: "Temple of the Spinner!"

He thought for a moment and asked, "Who is the leader? Could it be that the head of the regiment is also here?" Is this necessary?"

Julian shook his head and said, "That's not it, it's just a relic that has been abandoned for many years, and the legends won't go out at will." ”

Sean breathed a sigh of relief, but Julian immediately added, "But it's not a small trouble, it's Archduke William." ”

"Duke William?" Sean's eyes widened, "That William who doesn't do his job, doesn't do a good job, goes around crusading against foreign races, and gets a knighthood by virtue of his military exploits?"

"That's right! That's William, the deputy head of the Knights Templar. "Julian is rarely a little jealous of someone. Young and less than 25 years old, in terms of title, he is the Duke of the Alliance, in terms of identity, he is the prince of Ansara, or the deputy head of the Knights Templar of the Glorious Church, and in terms of personal strength, he is a powerful warrior who has reached level 19, which is a height that countless people cannot reach in a lifetime, and is destined to only look up.

Such a person is simply born with the blessings of the gods and the trust of all peoples. He is slightly older than William, and the strength of a high-level warrior is already one in a million, but in front of him, it is like a tiny star on the edge of the sun.

Although the sun is common, everyone is accustomed to it, and that is because it is too far away. Now that the "sun" has come to Death Knell City, so close to him, Julian feels a little ridiculous, just like an ordinary person suddenly sees the sun fall and appear in front of him. Thinking of this, Julian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"This ...... Lord Knight...... "A timid and pleasant female voice awakened Julian in his contemplation.

It's the woman!, Julian came back to his senses. The woman's voice was unexpectedly good, like gurgling water, which calmed Julie's sense of impetuousness. He habitually put on a charming smile, "Is there anything you can do? beautiful lady?"

Sheriff Sean held his forehead helplessly, didn't this flower boy see the situation in front of him clearly? Didn't you see the corpses in one place? Those stumps and broken arms are all parts of the human body, not the pig's head meat in your kitchen!

However, the Knights Templar appeared, and the fight between these mercenaries in front of them could only be regarded as a child's house. Since Julian wants to intervene, let him be, anyway, the Earl is not here, and Julian is also in charge here. Thinking of this, Sean said goodbye directly to Julian, as for these mercenaries, whatever he does!

After sending off the sheriff, the mercenaries were greatly relieved, it was really great that this evil star at the bottom of the black pot was not there! But what should I do next? Looking at the reaction of the knight in front of me, it should be no big deal? They thought uncertainly, and watched the development of the situation with hope.

"So, you've killed a bunch of thugs, that's it, right?" Julian seemed to have no eyes on the corpses at all, and convicted these hapless fellows with one mouth, "Attempted robbery, as well as disturbing order, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and disobeying the sheriff's management, I declare these people not to be protected by Deathstroke City." ”

"And you. Julian looked at the remaining mercenaries, wondering what to do with them. Dolores hurriedly begged, "It's all because of me, I'm willing to accept all the punishment, please let my companion go, please." ”

Julian watched her with interest, and saw Doloris' cheeks flush with two clusters. He stepped forward and gently lifted the side of her leather helmet, and through the gap he could clearly see that her ears were already shyly crimson, especially the part that was slightly sharper than ordinary people, which was even more pink and cute.

Julian's warm, moist snort ran across Dolores's cheeks and drilled into her ears, and in a dizzy way, she could only hear the handsome and powerful knight whisper in her ear. "As you wish. But come with me from now on, half-elf!"
