Chapter 34: The Roundup Begins
The galloping cavalry suddenly stopped.
A huge ravine dozens of meters long and four or five meters wide suddenly appeared on the originally smooth road, and the edge of the ravine was as neat as a knife, which was obviously blasted out by a warrior with a sword.
A gray-clothed man wearing a hat stood in the middle of the road with a sword on his head, standing still in the face of thousands of cavalry.
"Do you dare to block the way of the city guards and seek death?"
"The front is the private domain of our master, so please take a detour. The man in gray replied coldly.
"Bastard, die!" a figure flew out of the cavalry, and a sharp spear stabbed at the gray-clothed man.
As soon as the gray-clothed man returned with his sword, he pulled out a gray sword shadow, and the heavy sword shadows weakened the spear layer by layer, and disappeared before it could stab the gray-clothed man.
Flying out of the cavalry was Summerder's general-level commander, and after a volley of shots, the man was already in front of the gray-clothed man, and the spear wrapped in fighting spirit pierced his eyebrows.
The gray-clothed figure retreated, the long sword in his hand spun, and stabbed out countless entwined sword qi like spider silk, these entwined sword qi dissipated the sharpness of the spear into invisibility, making it extremely difficult to stab a shot.
"He's stalling for time, go up and kill him!" Summerld roared in the cavalry formation.
Another general-level commander flew out from behind him and pounced on the gray-clothed man, and the two generals led the two-battled gray-clothed man.
The high-level combat power of the Imperial City Guard is far superior to that of the field legions of various countries, and each deputy commander has five general-level commanders, and Summerer only left one commander to defend the city this time, and brought out all the other four commanders.
To Summererde's disappointment, the gray-clothed man in front of him was extremely difficult, although he was pressed and beaten under the attack of the two city guard commanders, it was difficult to be killed in a short time because of his strange fighting spirit and martial arts.
"Bypass this person and continue to charge!" Colonels above the regimental level abandon their horses and charge with me!" Summererd was worried that something would happen later, so he brazenly decided to lead the warriors of the war school to abandon their horses and run to the farm. It was only five miles away from the farmstead rented by the three underground forces, and the warriors of the war school galloped faster than the war horses, and it only took a few moments to enter the farm.
The man in gray had no strength left to stop the entire cavalry, so he had to shoot a magic arrow into the air to warn him, and he began to find a way to get out.
......
After the fiery red magic arrow exploded in the air, Adele's figure suddenly appeared on the auction table in the hall, and the audience was still increasing the price at this time.
Adele said aloud to the audience: "I'm sorry, distinguished guests, today's auction is ending early. I just received the news that a cavalry of the city guard army is coming over here, although I don't know the purpose of the other party, but the officials and bandits are not a family, in order to avoid trouble, everyone should avoid it as soon as possible. ”
The door to the hall was opened as Adele spoke, signaling everyone to run outside the house, and the three of them, Clay and Huerter, who were behind her, would definitely not be able to take care of them. Although this affects the credibility of the three families, they are helpless in the face of the entire cavalry regiment of the city guards.
Most of the guests invited to participate in today's auction are not visible, dark magicians, cultists, bandits and assassins are not a few, no matter what the other party's purpose is, these people will not end well in the hands of the city guards, so as soon as Adele said, the hall instantly became a mess.
Many people rushed to the door of the hall, and the front of the door suddenly crowded into a ball. Some people were so anxious that they jumped out through the wooden walls and roofs, which led to more people breaking through the walls, and the whole hall was already in chaos.
Others pretend to be clever and run to the trading room at the end of the trading floor, where there is a short-range teleportation magic array. However, the guards of the three families had already surrounded the place, and the valuables and Adele who had not had time to be transported had to be evacuated first.
The three of them will continue to do business in the imperial capital in the future, as long as they do not have a head-on conflict with the city guards and the high-ranking officials of each family are not caught, there will be room for maneuver in the future.
In the face of this chaotic scene, Arthur and Aretha were surprisingly calm, and only a few days ago they had pitted the son of the deputy commander of the city guard, and the cavalry of the city guard was likely to come at them.
"Are you coming with us or with your family?" said Joan, who was still in the mood to ask McGinn for advice.
"With you, of course!" said McGinn, patting his chest very angrily.
"This is your own volition, don't run away, don't blame me for not warning you when you encounter danger. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go!" Arthur grabbed Joan and rushed to the densest part of the crowd, it was safest to blend in with the crowd.
The galloping kicks of the cavalry were clearly audible, and the figure of the city guard army had been seen outside the farm. Seeing this scene, the guests who rushed out of the wooden house fled in three directions: east, north, and west.
......
Hundreds of meters away on the west side of the farm, a flash of light flashed under the moonlight, revealing the figures of Faster and dozens of members of the Demon Hunting Group behind him.
"City Guards, these idiots, Arthur and the others haven't shown their heads yet, how can they catch people with such fanfare?"
Fast who had locked Arthur's whereabouts arrived here as soon as possible, but he took a completely different approach from the city guards. The guard posts set up by the three underground forces on the periphery were too small for the Church Demon Hunting Group, and they quietly sneaked near the farm. Fast had planned to wait for Arthur to show up after the auction before arresting him, but he didn't want the city guards to spoil him.
"Where's the Knights of Punishment?" asked Fast, leaning behind him.
"The Punishment Knights in charge of closing the siege have all arrived at their predetermined positions. ”
"Okay, let them start and build an encirclement on the spot, and today we will go down to catch big and small fish together, and no one in the farm will be spared. Fast said in a cold voice.
In order to catch Arthur and wash away the humiliation of the Prison Spirit Mountain, Fast not only brought all the demon hunting groups left in the imperial capital this time, but also transferred the elites of the Punishment Knights to quietly approach and surround them from all sides.
"Let's go too, Light Magic Marker, don't let them run away!"
As soon as Fast gave the order, more than thirty members of the Demon Hunting Group behind him rushed towards the farm. As soon as this side moves, each of these demon hunting group members has the strength of a battle school or above, and the cooperation of two or three demon hunting groups can be an enemy of a strong general.
Masked figures burst out of the farm, and many of them collided with the Church's demon hunting team. The members of the Demon Hunting Team shot out almost simultaneously, shooting out countless dense balls of light, which easily shattered when they landed on the weapon's clothes, without causing any damage.
Fast flew directly into the sky, and the staff flew rapidly, and a rain of light fell within a radius of several miles.
What people don't know is that these lights will remain on their bodies for a long time without being noticed, but the people of the church can easily perceive them, which is the light mark, a common tracking and arresting method used by demon hunting groups.
Such a large area of light magic attracted everyone's attention, and Arthur instantly became unsettled.
"It's miserable, how can the Church of Light get involved!"
