Chapter 340: Retreat
In the VIP audience, after Garnes temporarily left the battlefield with the saint Jenny, Gurney and King Kong were unable to get rid of the entanglement of the two academy teachers, Terry and Brooke, despite almost all their best efforts.
From the beginning to the end, the old professor never approached the audience in the VIP area, but has been in the ordinary audience seat on the side, and has been disgusting King Kong with an endless stream of various earth restriction magic-stone walls, stone prisons, and ground Ze magic...... Brooke was almost like he was taking a magic demonstration class of pure restricted magic of the earth system, and in a few minutes, he was stunned that King Kong, who had the strength of a Dou Qi master, could not move more than two or three meters in the stands.
And the duel between Gurney and Terry is also not smooth, Gurney's law is admittedly powerful, for the existence of strength below the law level, he can even interrupt the opponent's breathing or heartbeat to directly take the opponent's life, but in fact, his law also has two fatal weaknesses, one is naturally to look at the other party, and the other is that on the same target object, his law can only maintain one interrupt command at the same time.
As a space arcane mage, Terry's teleportation is enough to make Gurney, a person who does not know how to interfere with magic, feel crazy, his vision cannot continue to capture Terry who is constantly teleporting, and the other party has also realized that his constant gaze may be the key to the activation of the law of interruption, so the teleportation is used more frequently. As a six-star arcane mage, even if he continuously uses this kind of short-distance flash magic, Terry doesn't have to worry about his mana at all, so in such a battle, Gurney doesn't have any ability to actively attack Terry, and can only use the law to continuously interrupt the attacks released by Terry, but he can't get out of his way to catch up with the fleeing Garnes and Jenny.
Seeing the stalemate in the scene, Gurney was extremely anxious. King Kong and himself were entangled to death, and on Egg's side, although the law deprived Zarco of his fighting spirit, as an orthodox fighting spirit master who had cultivated to the master of fighting spirit, Zarko's basic martial arts skills were still firmly remembered in his body, and the two of them were almost evenly matched with only physical strength and martial arts, not to mention that after Jenny successfully escaped, Zarko defended and delayed wholeheartedly without any concern, so that Egger did not have any way to win quickly at all.
The main assassination target has left, although there is still an important figure of the Divine Cult left here, Zarko, but not to mention the current situation, it is too difficult to assassinate the other party, although the other party's status as the deputy head of the Knights of the Templar Order, although the real power in the sect is not small, but in terms of influence, Wan Qun and the Holy Maiden are not at the same level, and they can't afford to kill each other at the cost of hurting the elite combat power of their few Nolan clans.
His mind turned sharply, Gurney immediately made a decision, taking advantage of an opportunity for Terry's attack to be lax, he took out a yellow flare from his arms that represented the impediment of action and the implementation of a temporary emergency plan, and then lit and threw it out, and then led King Kong and Egger to merge together, using the invincibility of the two sides of the Egger duel law relative to the outside world, ignoring the attack from Terry and Zarko, the three of them quickly retreated into the arena passage, and then directly broke the glass from the window inside the arena near the outer wall, and flew away from the arena using the flying magic guide that everyone had prepared for a long time in the cadres。
Ali Ali's words, according to Egger, seemed to have been lost a few minutes ago at the hands of the wolf girl named Cheruth and then evacuated the arena, so there was no need to worry about her safety, and as for the other Assassins who had followed them in this operation, Gurney had no worries. The main forces in this arena are the teachers and students of the Academy, as long as the Assassins retreat, these people will not be able to pursue and hunt like a real army, and even if they are not strong or unlucky enough to be caught, Gurney and the others are not worried that these people will betray their temporary hideout and their next plans...... Because they have nothing to sell either.
For people outside the Nolans, even if they were secretly trained subordinate troops, the Nolans have never trusted them to any greater than necessary, so they will not tell them too much secret information that will affect their own safety. The temporary hiding place that Gurney and the Gurney had planned to return to and the hiding place that he had told the Assassins were two separate places.
Those who can escape back are eligible to fight to the death for their revenge as their subordinates, and they can't come back...... Nature is a waste that doesn't even have the qualifications to be used.
From the perspective of personnel composition, in addition to Sekaria, among the main teams of the Loris National Academy and the Solan Academy, there are powerful firepower outputs such as Getajielis, high-level assistants such as Raphael, the captains of the Solan main team, Hagus and Leo, the main defensive forces of the earth magicians who have the advantage of environmental bonuses on the earth elemental field, and the artillery fire cover support provided by the floating cannon on the outside of the fortress controlled by Xia Li...... Although they were facing a group of mage assassination troops trained to combat the mages on a flat ground with no obstacles, it stands to reason that two teams with such a staffing should not fall to the point where they were completely passive in the dirt and stone fortress and could not get out.
But in fact, this situation really happened, and the reason is very simple...... Despite their strength on paper, they were far inferior to their enemies in terms of mentality.
Speaking of combat experience, as veterans who have spent three or four years in their respective academies, they naturally will not lack combat experience in and out of class, and even almost all of them have received student trial tasks issued by the mercenary union entrusted by the academy during the academy holidays, and have actually gone to some places that are not safe to take risks and fight with some magical beasts that can hurt people...... But in the end, these are just combat experiences.
Combat experience and killing experience are not the same thing at all, and the consciousness required is also completely on two levels. Maybe these students can attack some of the monsters and kill them without any psychological burden, but if they want to attack humans like themselves, even if they know that the other party will hurt their enemies, it will be difficult for them to kill them without distractions.
After all, whether it is Xia Li and the students of Loris College, or Raphael and the children from the Solan Academy, they almost all live in a peaceful environment since they were young, and in the time they have been exposed to and seen in their growth, there may be malice between people, and there may be fights and calculations between each other, but in the end, there is a basic bottom line for everyone's behavior and behavior, once someone crosses this bottom line, whether it is right or wrong, in their hearts, they will first have a subconscious resistance and disgust to this behavior that breaks their long-standing values。
Therefore, maybe they will hate their enemies, they will hate and hate their enemies, and even they think that when they really face those evil people and things, they will be like those heroes in legends and troubadours who will mercilessly make each other pay an irreparable price for their evil, but in fact, at this moment, they can't do this at all, this is not cowardice, but in the environment where they grew up, the impropriety of taking the lives of others has been deeply implanted in their minds, causing them to make another move, and even they will unconsciously keep their hands or weaken their power, or a slight deviation in aiming.
However, their current opponents, the killers that Vincent had secretly cultivated disguised as royal guards, were clearly not as naïve as these students. For them, human life is not at all the slightest so-called preciousness that cannot be taken lightly, and even if it is the life of their enemies, it is simply worthless. Killing their own mission objectives is definitely not the first time for these killers, and there is nothing worth questioning them, this is their normal life.
On one side, he wants to kill his opponent, and on the other side, he has no awareness of killing at all, and this mental gap unconsciously makes up for the difference in strength between the two sides, which makes Xia Li and the others obviously look strong, but as a result, they have been suppressed in the fortress and dare not take a step at all.
However, things soon changed when Cheruth and Nanoha joined the fray.
After living in the other world for so long, it can be regarded as having experienced several large crises and conspiracies and more death-to-death battles, although it is not enough to say that she has become indifferent to the lives of others, but at least for taking the lives of enemies, the wolf girl no longer has any psychological burden, and even many times will feel that this is a disguised act of self-protection. And Nanoha, who was originally a real killer secretly cultivated by Butler, although a certain wolf girl always compares her with the famous white tyrant in the Horse Monkey Shochu series on Earth in a selfish way, but in fact, Nanoha does not have such a broad and loving kindness at all, the chestnut-haired girl may be a kind and gentle girl in front of relatives, friends and strangers who have no relationship, but once she is regarded as an enemy, then Nanoha's attack will be more merciless than that of Cheruth, how deadly and how to come.
The first time the two girls struck, they directly crippled the two Assassin squads roaming outside the fortress. The four high-level Dou Qi warriors in the two teams were all killed on the spot by hitting the vital parts of their bodies, as for the two leading Dou Qi elites, although they were still alive, one failed to withstand Nanoha's magic energy bombardment, and one arm was broken and the shoulder blade on the other side was broken, and the other was directly hit by Cheruth three times on the Dou Qi shield, and the piercing cannon in the same position penetrated the Dou Qi protection, opening a blood hole in one thigh and stomach...... Both of them were no longer able to participate in the fight.
"Defend your mind! Shoot upwards!"
The general leader of these dozen assassin squads, an assassin with a fighting aura on his body that was slightly red in the purple, it was obvious that he was already at the peak of the elite fighting spirit, and he could touch the threshold of the master level, and immediately, the assassins who were still taking turns to attack the central earth and stone fortress quickly withdrew from the attack range of Geta Gelis and the others inside the fortress, and then raised the magic guide crossbow in his hand and aimed at the two of them in the air and launched a shot.
However, although the range and power of the magic guide hand crossbow are greater than those of the magic guide short gun, the corresponding rate of fire is not so fast, and dozens of people are still scattered in the vast field at different locations with only one salvo, such a loose shot is naturally not any threat to the two Cheruth who can move freely in the air, just a few air translations, the two dodge the assassins' attacks, and at the same time began their second round of ground magic attack preparations.
Looking at the blue and white magic balls around the two little girls above their heads, the leader assassin couldn't help but smack his lips, their crossbows were originally used to interrupt the magicians' spell casting actions from a distance, and they didn't have very effective air defense, but looking at the two little girls on the other hand, they were obviously very proficient in this air-to-ground death strike attack mode.
That's terrible.
"Scatter the squads and prioritize attacking the enemy from above—"
Before the captain could finish his words, suddenly a yellow pyrotechnic flew into the sky with a sharp whistling sound from the rostrum, and exploded with a bang.
"Captain, that's ......"
The Assassin captain frowned, and Lord Vincent had told him that if the plan was successful, a green spark would be released from the rostrum, and if something special arose that required a temporary change in the plan, the yellow sparkle they saw would be released...... Fortunately, it is not the red fireworks that indicate the complete failure of the plan.
It seems that something must have happened on the podium that prevented Master Gurney and them from succeeding in assassinating the Holy Maiden, so now according to the pre-planned plan, all of them should not continue to stay in the arena, but go out and return to the predetermined hidden meeting point in Alrant City to follow the instructions of Master Vincent, who was in charge of picking up the crowd there.
"Everyone, give up at once—"
The Assassin captain was just about to give up the order to abandon the attack on Raphael and the others in the earth-stone fortress, and when all the members were about to cover each other and quickly evacuate, they suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from the air diagonally above.
Although Dou Qi and Dou Qi are two systems that are not connected, at least they both belong to one of the different energies of this world, so generally speaking, if Dou Qi or Magic suddenly gathers in a certain direction, an experienced magician or Dou Qi can sense some fluctuations in the energy in the environment.
The experienced Assassin Captain instantly reacted that it must be one of the two girls who was attacking him, and in the blink of an eye, he concentrated the fighting energy of his whole body into his two hands to form a thick Fighting Qi shield and then propped it up to the top of his head, and almost the next second when he held up the Fighting Qi shield, the wind element penetration cannon that had been gathering strength for a long time blasted over.
