Chapter 12: The Ambush (I)

The city of Berdel is divided into the east and west districts, and between the two districts is the main road facing the city gates, which was formerly named "Princess Boulevard" by the city of Berdel, and after the impeachment of Rogie, the name of the road was changed to "Vimilia Boulevard". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now Rogie and Moli walked on the main road, and the whole road—not a single person—the people of Badel City—were on either side of the road.

There were many Bloods who recognized Rogie at first sight when they saw her, and many more who knew who had come to the city because of the former's reaction.

All in all, the news of Rogie's arrival spread like lightning throughout the city.

"I also walked this path after the Battle of Badel, but I was on a horse, followed by the Red Iron Knights. Luo Ji smiled in a low voice and said to Mo Li, "At that time, there were so many people, all gathered on both sides of the road. ”

Mo Li saw the bitterness in the girl's smile, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only nod lightly.

He'd heard about it. When Rogie led the army into the city after defeating the army of the Morning Star Empire, the streets of Pedel City were empty, and the people of the city were amazed by the beauty of the girl while admiring their savior, and when the two elements were intertwined, the people's admiration for Rogie reached its peak.

The Bloods had long since abolished the kneeling ceremony, but at that time, I don't know who took the lead in kneeling on the ground and shouting "Long live the princess", this behavior instantly ignited everyone's emotions, and tens of thousands of people knelt down like fallen wheat and chanted "Long live the princess!" together.

Now, these people are here again, but Rogie is no longer their savior, maybe even the destroyer who will control their will.

The girl looked around slowly, and everywhere she looked, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at her. On their faces, Moli saw ...... Fear.

Even if everyone knew that Rogie had been cast with the Bloodstain Technique and could not use the power of the bloodline, they were still terrified.

Luo Ji, who was beside her, sighed almost inaudibly, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's go to Dongcheng District to find a place to stay." ”

The two of them walked silently on the deserted avenue, and soon came to the trade area where the shops were gathered, and the buildings on both sides of Vimilia Avenue were no longer bungalows, but two, or even three-storey, small buildings.

At this moment, Mo Li vaguely felt a different atmosphere.

Rogie also happened to look at him, and it seemed that the girl also noticed something.

"Be careful. ”

Mo Li said something with his mouth, and then took the sodium from his arms.

Sodium increases his speed, including his reflexes, and is the best way to deal with surprise attacks.

He swallowed the sodium and burned slowly, the speed of everything around him slowing down in his eyes.

Mo Li turned his gaze and looked around vigilantly, while the girl still looked ahead, as if she wasn't worried about anything, and walked forward unhurriedly.

Just a few steps after the two of them walked out, the wooden windows on the second floor of the small building in four directions, the left front, the right front, the left rear, and the right rear of the two of them were "slammed" open. Standing in the hands of the black shadow at the window, holding a well-made hand crossbow.

The strings sounded, and four crossbow arrows flew out. Almost at the same moment, Moli burst into flames.

The crossbow arrows, which were too fast to see clearly, showed their trajectory in Mo Li's eyes.

He invoked the technique, manifested the short knife, and with the blessing of sodium, he swung four swords at a very fast speed, and the wooden arrow shaft was split into two pieces, and the arrow was also distorted by the force, and deviated from the target.

The power of these crossbow arrows was amazing, and Mo Li was no longer burning copper, and his arm wielding the knife was already slightly numb. A strong crossbow of this power, it is clear that only the army has it!

But he didn't have time to think too much about it, and after the first wave of crossbow arrows was fired, the person at the window was immediately replaced, holding the same strong crossbow, and four crossbow arrows were fired again.

At the same time, four masked men rushed out of the crowd on both sides of the road, and they tore off the linen wrapped in their swords and rushed straight at Luo Ji and Mo Li.

Something troublesome.

Just when Mo Li was thinking this, Luo Ji, who had been standing in place just now and did not move, suddenly flashed to the side, and the four crossbow arrows had originally sealed all the angles, but the girl's speed was faster than the arrows, and the enemy's shot suddenly missed.

As soon as Mo was relieved, he resolutely ignored the arrows, took out the copper from his bosom and swallowed it in one gulp, and carried the short knife to meet the enemies rushing from both sides.

The short knife and the long sword slammed into each other, splashing sparks, and Moli used the high speed of burning sodium to entangle all four assassins with one knife at a time. Since he didn't know how much Luo Ji's strength had recovered now, he didn't dare to leak people to the girl.

But after only a few rounds, Moli felt a lot of pressure.

The other side is strong. The weapons in his hand are excellent, his short knife has no advantage, and his strength is comparable to that of him who burned copper, his swordsmanship is simple and ruthless, and Mo Li's advantage in speed can be compensated by the enemy in numbers.

In just a few seconds, Mo Li had two minor injuries on his body.

Faced with this situation, ordinary people can probably only endure it. But Mo Li is a puppet, and at this moment, he has a variety of options.

He has four elements that can be burned, but at most two of them can be burned at the same time. Which to burn, which not to burn, which to burn first, which to burn later—these are the choices that require him to make decisiveness in battle, and to choose correctly.

In fact, this is a question that Mo Li has been pondering since he learned about the theory of alchemy, and he even secretly came up with a special name for this choice, the burning order, which means the sequence that should be taken when burning several elements.

Normally, he should burn iron to heal his wounds, but then the effect of the sodium burned first will disappear, and he will lose his only advantage of speed.

Of course, he could swallow sodium again as soon as the two minor injuries healed, but this would only maintain the status quo and would not turn the tide of the battle.

After quickly analyzing several options in his mind and making a judgment, Mo Li took out a transparent square from his bosom and swallowed it in his mouth after blocking the enemy's sword.

He chose to burn crystals.

The effect of sodium quickly disappeared, and his body sank, and his movements suddenly slowed down.

But don't worry, the illusion of burning crystals has taken effect, and the enemies are attacking the fake clones. Mo Li was in a momentary state of stealth at the moment, and he took a step towards the nearest enemy, right behind him, and then aimed at the opponent's heart, and stabbed it with a single sword.

The short blade pierces through the leather armor, slices through the muscles of the back, and grinds the hearts of enemies. Even if it is a blood clan, it is impossible to survive in this situation, the enemy's throat makes a "gurgling" suffocating sound, and a large amount of blood overflows from his mouth.

Mo Li drew his knife and retreated, and the other party's body fell down without a trace of strength.

"Illusion?!"

"Damn it!"

It was only then that the enemy realized that he had just attacked the illusion. They had never seen a sorcerer with this ability, and they couldn't help but panic slightly.

Taking advantage of this moment, Mo Li swallowed another piece of crystal, and then another piece of sodium, causing the effect of copper to disappear.

He dived into the shadows again, and at this moment, he was the assassin, and the three assassins became prey.

He doesn't need much strength when the enemy is defenseless, and the speed brought by sodium allows him to quickly close behind an enemy.

The dagger pulled against his throat, cutting off almost the entire back of his neck, blood spurting out yards, and the enemy's head tilted at an unnatural angle, and his body fell limply.

At the last moment when he appeared, Mo Li swallowed a piece of copper and squeezed out the effect of the crystal.

The two remaining enemies finally spotted him, they had never been played like this before, and they couldn't help but let out a roar of rage, and the sword slashed down, threatening to split the puppet in front of him in half.

But the role of copper has been played, Mo Li raised the short knife, and easily blocked the opponent's long sword.

All this happened in ten seconds, and the enemy had already lost two men. And a new round of crossbow shots was also easily dodged by Luo Ji again.

The enemy finally changed their strategy, and the eight enemies on the second floor threw down their crossbows, drew their long swords, jumped from the window, and surrounded them. At this time, it was no longer an assassination, but a blatant murder on the street.

Onlookers on both sides of the road finally reacted and fled in all directions screaming. Now that this situation has become a situation, as long as the lord of Badel City does not want to blatantly kill Rogie, the soldiers who maintain law and order should be here immediately.

Mo Li picked up a long sword and handed it to Luo Ji, and the two stood back to back, watching the enemy surround him step by step.

"How?" he asked.

"It's good to stall. Rogie said.

Mo Li nodded, took out a piece of copper from his arms, and swallowed it.

A different burning sensation immediately spread in the body, this is a piece of rune copper, it covers the effect of ordinary copper, and makes Mo Li's strength increase again.

Mo Li held the knife in his right hand, picked up another long sword from the ground with his left hand, and made a provocative gesture towards the enemy.

After a breath, the enemy rushed forward.

The blades slammed together again, and the rune copper made Mo Li overwhelm the enemy in terms of strength, and the long sword swung out a huge fan, swinging away the enemy's weapon, and the short knife stabbed out like a poisonous snake, attacking the opponent's flaws. The left sword and the right sword attacked alternately, and when the opponent was caught off guard, Mo Li faced the four people on the other side, and he temporarily had an advantage.

Rogie faced the remaining four Assassins, but it was a different story. The girl did not confront the other party at all, but relied on speed and dexterity, interspersed with dodging in the siege of the four, and only when there was no way to dodge, she simply blocked it with her long sword, which seemed very reluctant, but every time she was able to save the day under the fierce attack of the enemy.

Mo Li kept a little attention and paid attention to the situation on Luo Ji's side. At first he was a little apprehensive, but after a while, the worry turned into doubt.

He had fought with the knights of the Morning Star Empire and the soldiers of the Blood Clan many times, and he thought that he had quite a lot of combat experience, but he had never seen the way the girl used the sword, he had neither speed nor strength, but he could not fall behind under the fierce attack of the other party.

Mo Li even suspected that Luo Ji could actually defeat the other party, and she could easily escape at the worst, but she chose to stall for time here.

The girl should have her reasons, after these few days of contact, Mo Li has this kind of trust in the other party. So he didn't think much about it and refocused his attention on the battle in front of him.
