Chapter Seventy-Three: The Ransack

This warehouse street is located near the river's Harbour District on the edge of the city.

Most of the goods stored in the warehouses in this area are daily necessities and raw materials, which can be found everywhere. Perhaps because the owners of these goods did not see the need for large-scale guards for inexpensive goods, there were only a handful of warehouse keepers in each of the warehouses.

During the day, the street is bustling with staff and trucks coming and going. But at night, when only a few guards remained in the streets, there was only darkness and silence in the cracks of the complex, as if the bustle of the day was only a phantom.

In the image projected by Ojodin, the street is not quite similar to the usual night scene, and the fire and the sound of explosions tear apart the otherwise peaceful night scene.

"This is a scene I took from a distance, and although I can't see the faces of the robbers clearly because of the distance, I can clearly see their movements. "From this we can see that these robbers are a planned and disciplined organization, not a rabble." ”

Syncott felt compelled to compliment Ojordin for the angle he had chosen to take the image, and in the distance, he had taken in all the locations of the robbers. And it was right, the prisoners who were about to ransack the warehouse were clearly premeditated, and they surrounded the warehouse from all directions.

The road that had been deserted was now lined with twenty or so strange men in black robes, like pagans having a strange party. They held in their hands various equipment for casting ancient spells, and a huge "eye" was embroidered on the black robes that covered their bodies.

It is clear from the video that the shape of the eyes of these strange people as a symbol is significantly different from the "Eye of Wisdom". Compared to the crimson one-eyed embedded in the triangular frame, the dark blue eyes embroidered on the hood of the black robe gave a subtle sense of discomfort.

I don't know if it's a chain or a vine, but around the "eyes" that burn like a faint blue light, there are strange patterns that hover and circle to find the continuity. These lines are not as striking as the blue eyes in the middle, but they also exude a sense of existence that cannot be ignored.

By the darkness of the night, none of these strangely dressed eccentrics noticed Ojordin watching them from the top of a distant building. They approached the large warehouse from the intersections of all directions in twos and threes, blocking all the roads connecting the warehouse with the outside world.

Curt had walked past the looted warehouse on his mission, and he remembered that there was a small courtyard outside. The courtyard wall of the warehouse is a thick reinforced concrete wall, and at the main entrance is a two-person high heavy iron fence gate.

It can be said that this warehouse is the most well-fortified of all the buildings in the vicinity, and the idle bandits may not be able to break through its defenses. This may have something to do with the relatively high-priced spell materials stored in it, and its owner has also thought about how to guard against those who have a heart.

But now, this defense has crumbled, and the walls, which can only be used to defend against normal attacks, are vulnerable to the bombardment of spells. This strange group is not outwardly dressed to look like a group of spellcasters, but in fact they are actually operating spells to attack.

From the lowest-level "flash guns" to the more difficult "flaming arrows", a large number of the weirdos surrounding the warehouse have raised their spell-casting tools. Glowing spells took shape in front of the apparatus, and then they were guided to shoot into the buildings behind the walls.

"Are the sorcerers so worthless now?" Curt asked Dean François with some surprise as he looked at the projection, "These people can make several times more money from losing talent than robbing warehouses." ”

In the past, when sorcery was still a kind of hidden knowledge, the sorcerer was a scarce and "noble" talent. Although modern sorcery education has gained a certain degree of popularity, it has not yet spread to the point where the vast majority of robbers are sorcerers.

"No, no, not really. In fact, even in the era when mages were still a 'noble status', there were not a few sorcerers who became criminals for the sake of not writing purposes. Perhaps seeing through Curt's doubts, François shook his head and began to explain to him, "But you are right, no matter how down, there is no need to rob a warehouse with a sorcerer of this man's level. ”

He gestured to the picture and motioned for Curt to pay attention to O'Rowin's projection.

Almost at the same moment, Curt noticed the "man" to whom François was referring - he was supposed to be the leader of all the men in black, dressed in a robe slightly different from the others. In his hand he also held a long staff that was slightly taller than his height.

He held his staff aloft, and the sparkle of the sparkle was inlaid with a dazzling stone at the front end of the simple wooden structure. The scattered rays of light create a circle of circular Rubik's Cubes. The mana continued to recharge, and a moment later, a blazing fireball shot from the center of the Rubik's Cube towards the closed iron door.

Rumble!

The sturdy heavy iron fence gate was instantly knocked to the ground by the spell that shot from the outside, and the cold iron was shattered by the impact of the spell. The shattered flames pierced the fence of the gate and onto the stray vegetation in the yard, turning some of the vegetation into a blazing torch.

Watching the man in black destroy the gate, François said to Curt, "The spell he uses is 'Burst Fireball', a fairly high-level spell in the elemental system - as for the power, I think you should know it by looking at it." As far as I know, the Dominion underground did not have people of this level in the past. ”

And it doesn't look like the robbers are just here to rob, François points to the center of the frame, telling Curt to pay attention to the next move of the man in black.

After the gate was blasted open, the black-clad monsters continued to cast spells, and the number of plants turning into torches in the courtyard gradually increased. The dry turf on the ground is the best accelerant, and in an instant, the fire that was not too big just now has probably spread quickly, and it is about to roll towards the warehouse in the center.

The fire grew bigger, but those people didn't care at all, but instead increased their firepower. For a moment, several fireballs dragged their tails and smashed towards the warehouse in the courtyard. It seems that they were intent on setting the building on fire and starting a fire in Warehouse Street.

It is impossible for such a big movement not to attract the attention of the people around them, but in the inaccessible night warehouse street, no one notices. At the same time, I don't know if the men in black had cleared the nearby streets before the action, and such a commotion has not spread until now.

The guards who were supposed to be patrolling around the city of Cutrice were supposed to be on patrol to investigate the sudden riot. But by this time, most of them had now gone with Grostide to fight the monster on the streets, and the garrison of Warehouse Street had become weak.

As a result, the only people who were able to fight back against the group of black-clad weirdos attacking from all directions were the guards who remained in the warehouse.

If the other side is a rabble with only civilian equipment, then the guards responsible for protecting the warehouse can rely on the high walls of the warehouse as a bulwark to defend themselves before the members of the garrison receive a report. But now it is not ordinary bandits who want to rob the warehouse, but some groups of mages who can unleash powerful and destructive spells, and the guards are simply vulnerable in front of them.

The guards who had tried to stop them had long since been knocked down, and now there were only two or three poor men left in the warehouse surrounded by them. They had long since lost their fighting spirit, abandoned their arms and tried to flee from their posts. But all of these deserters were hit by spells before they could escape, and they fell to the ground at once.

After knocking out the last guard of the warehouse, several members of the group dressed in strange clothes swooped in through the gap that had been blasted open by the spell. They walked into the warehouse that had already been lit up by a few flames.

In the shadow of several nearby non-adjacent streets, several medium-sized freight vehicles of different styles slowly drove out, and they stopped one after the other near the warehouse. Moments later, personnel entering the warehouse began to move boxes of well-sealed boxes from the warehouse.

The boxes that had been lifted by the spells used for transportation were slowly loaded into the car, and several men in black who had been waiting on the side of the road stepped forward to stroke the surface of the boxes. After a flash of magic brilliance, the chests turned into completely different appearances one by one.

With only the images recorded by Guò Ojodin, Curt was unable to guess whether the spell used to change the appearance of the chest was an illusion spell or a transformation spell. But there is no doubt that this group, symbolized by the unorthodox "eye" emblem, has a large number of good level mages.

Soon, the trucks loaded with goods were evacuated from the warehouses one by one, leaving behind an increasingly fierce flame engulfing the warehouses that had been ransacked by them.

"How, Mr. Leonster. At the end of the footage provided by Aurodin, Cruise François calmly asked Curt, "Do you think that before this robbery, there was even an underground organization in the city of Catrice that would rob a warehouse after it could do this level?"

This is a hasty question that is difficult to answer in the middle.

As can be seen from the footage, the previous robbery was not only the attacker in charge of the attack, but also the logistics team in charge of transportation, and even the cleaning squad that covered up the traces. The division of labor among the members of this organization is clear, and Curt is certain that all of them can be transformed into combat effectiveness when necessary.

It seems that the truth is really as he said, it is a new force that wants to pierce the darkness of Katris.
