Chapter 14: The Expected Ambush
Miss Rabbit waited for another two hours, and she was a little bored waiting, so she took off the electronic pet egg hanging around her neck and picked at it for a while.
Just when the female lord was angry, her guest tonight was finally late.
Sharjah and the others had been observing outside the castle for a long time, and they had found a flight path that could bypass the outer wall to guard the satellite line.
Under the cover of night, he quietly came to the top of the castle.
Caleb and Sidia took the lead, passing through the narrow window and landing in the empty hallway.
To their surprise, there were no guards there.
So lax?
Caleb and Sidia glanced at each other, a hint of confusion in each other's gazes.
However, they have visited many nobles' mansions along the way, and due to the strong inertia of the past, most of the imperial nobles lack the necessary precautions against dangers from the sky.
The owner of the castle may have felt that the defenders of the town were competent enough, or that the guards on the outer walls of the castle were reliable enough, so he did not arrange any more personnel outside the room.
In addition, it may also be out of strong confidence in one's own force, and feel that he does not need to be protected.
As the champion of the Ilea tournament, perhaps this explanation is closer to the truth.
Caleb and Sidia didn't hesitate for long, because Sharjah and the others could be spotted by some guard looking around at any time outside, so they waved out the window as agreed.
Soon, fourteen black shadows with the aura of death descended on the corridor one after another.
Sharjah was the last to arrive, and he folded his broad, powerful wings, turned sideways through the stone window, landed firmly on the ground, and whispered.
"In which room is Irea?"
"I don't know, we didn't see the guards." Caleb said, "Maybe you can tie up a maid or something." ”
"Maids usually live on the lower floors." Ballandau, after sacking many noble mansions along the way, he also began to study the fortresses of those nobles.
While the crowd was talking, Sharjah saw a white rat running past him.
As Sidia said, there are a little too many rats in this place. Does the noblewoman named Ilea care at all?
Just as Sharjah was thinking this, a room not far from him suddenly opened the door, and out of it came a woman who looked like a maid.
She seemed stunned when she saw the group of uninvited guests in the corridor outside the door.
Sharjah ordered, "Kill her." ”
But before Caleb could shoot the arrow, the maid fled back into the house.
This time, without Sharjah's order, Balan and the others, who were closest to him, followed closely and chased after him.
They followed the maid into her room, and there was another ...... inside Four maids-in-waiting.
Everyone has a strange white object in their hands.
At the same time, several other doors next to Sharjah and the others were also pushed open, and a group of maids behind the doors raised the identical gadgets in their hands.
The scene in front of him made a strange feeling rise in the hearts of all the Wing Clan warriors present.
There is no doubt that their raid tonight has already been known. But the problem is that they are facing only a group of ...... Maid?
And what is that thing in the hands of those maids, not even a slightly sharper edge, can that kind of thing really kill?
As if to answer the doubts in their hearts.
A cacophony pierced the silence of the night, and the glow and white smoke erupted from the primer and barrel of the gun, which soon filled the hallway.
Sharjah sensed the danger at the last moment, and opened his mouth to beckon his companions to retreat, but the next moment there was a pain in his lower back, and then in his lower abdomen and thighs.
Sharjah reached out and touched it, feeling his fingers sticky, and at the same time smelling blood in his nose.
He realized he was wounded, but he couldn't even see where the enemy's sword was.
How is this possible?!
Sharjah's eyes widened, as the strongest warrior of the Wing Clan, although he was not very old, he had already experienced countless battles, but none of them were as bizarre as they were now.
He didn't even know how he got hurt.
This caused a sense of panic in Sharjah's heart for the first time in a long time, and he was about to forget how long it had been since he had experienced such a taste.
Because in the past, this was a nightmare he gave to his opponents.
Yaxu's eager voice summoned him back to reality, "It's not good, it's a holy weapon of the Shuangxiu Sect, damn it, how can there be so many!" ”
"Holy ...... Hallows? Sharjah muttered, and he remembered what Ash had said earlier, that the female lord named Ilea had the holy weapon given by Saturday in his hand.
Very powerful, the Morn of the Grey Eagle Tribe was defeated on that holy weapon.
Sharjah was also wary of the artifact, otherwise he wouldn't wait until everyone in the castle was asleep, but the question was why there were so many of them now, and every maid had it in their hands.
But now was not the time to dwell on the issue, and Sharjah knew they had to retreat.
The first warrior of the Winged Humans has completely lost his fighting spirit, and just wants to get out of here as soon as possible, leave the western realm, and escape as far as possible.
So he looked at Balaam, hoping that his childhood friend would come and help him break his back, but the sight made him gasp.
I saw that Balan, who had always been brave and excellent in martial arts, fell to the ground at this moment, his round eyes full of disbelief.
But he couldn't say anything anymore, because there was a bloody hole in the center of his eyebrows, and blood was pouring out.
Sharjah's heart was cold.
Balaam...... Already dead? Not only Balaam, but Sharjah looked around and saw that several people had fallen on his stomach, some of them were unresponsive like Balaam, and some were wailing in pain on the ground.
Sharjah didn't look any further, he had already turned and ran towards the window, but someone was moving faster than him.
Yasu was already standing by the window, and in the round of attacks just now, Caleb next to him happened to help him block most of the attacks, Yasu was not injured, and while the maids were loading, half of his body had already been drilled out of the window.
Then he saw a rain of arrows coming at him outside the window, but it was the defenders on the walls who were shooting arrows at him.
Yasu quickly retracted his neck, and then he felt his body being pushed away.
Sharjah then rushed out of the window, but by this time the maids had finished reloading, and another volley was fired.
And they also recognized the identity of Sharjah's leader, and this time at least six buckshots hit Sharjah's body.
Sharjah let out a scream and finally fell to the ground.
