，

Jiang two and a half orcs suddenly strengthened their offensive, and each time they were pressed by this force, and they rushed up the city wall of Nedle. only

Although the stone throwers in Nedel City destroyed the orcs' trebuchets and ballistas, and the pirates fled far away, the orcs outside Nedel City were not simple, and they thought of various ways. Pounding on Nedel's walls.

They even dismantled several transport ships. Several large ladders were made, and although two were destroyed by the stone thrower, this thing is easy to make, as long as there is enough wood, and a new ladder will be under the city the next day.

The orcs also knew that time was running out. Each time they attacked, they were pressed by the whole army, and the defenders of Nedel City were under great pressure.

Because there were too few regular troops, the militia was not commanded or even in chaos, and under the half-orcs' desperate fighting style, there were several crises on the city wall, and each time the mages and the Praetorian Guards pushed back.

The priests have a hand at dealing with the dark magicians. But in a battle like this, where they can fight for their lives, they are limited in what they can wield.

The Dark Mages were ambushed in the Mage War in Nedel City, after losing a large chunk. He never dared to approach the walls of Nedel again. They just cast spells far away to resurrect the slain orcs.

After several crises in the war, Catherine and Adele could not sit still in the Doge's Palace, so they went to the front line in person, and General Philip also thought that the front line was dangerous, and Catherine and Adele were there. He also went up to the city wall with the Praetorian Guard.

The Doge's palace was left with only one Praetorian Guard, which took turns after the battle, and more than fifty of Catherine's and Leo's guards.

When the fire broke out in the city, Leo was bored and ordered by Melina to stay in the study in the backyard and do his homework.

Several fires burned in the city, and the governor's palace was also in a commotion, and the soldiers in the palace, the officials working in the middle court, and the servants and servants in the palace were all making noise.

After biting off two pencils and thinking of a way out, Leo heard a commotion outside. Naturally, I can't bear it.

At that time, he threw the pen, jumped up and said, "There's an accident outside, I'll go out and take a look."

Then she slipped out with a bang, and Melina, although she was quick-eyed, only grabbed the corner of Leo's clothes, and was easily escaped by him.

Melina was helpless, so she could only stomp her feet, pouting and shouting: "Leo, you stop for me."

Then he ran out after Leo,

Leo and Melina ran out of the backyard, and along the way, they heard the people in the house shouting in a panic: "The city is on fire, it's on fire." ”

Leo jumped forward excitedly, and Melina shouted from behind, "Leo, wait for me." Leo turned to look at Melina, who was running with her skirt up, pouted, then turned around and pulled Melina to the front yard.

Follow the crowd to the top of the wall in the front yard of the Doge's Palace. The Praetorian Guards and the guards were gathered at the moment, and Leo shouted, "What's the matter, what's the matter? Let me go." ”

Leading Melina through the crowd and coming to the city wall, Melina exclaimed, covered her mouth and stared at the city with wide eyes, Leo scratched her head. Nahan said, "How can this be?

I saw smoke rising from all over the city of Nidel, and there was fire dancing not far away, and there was a shout of killing on the city wall in the distance.

Carter shook his head and said, "It's not like the orcs came in, and the eldest sister didn't send back any news, it looks like someone is setting fire to the city."

Leo blew up when he heard this, and rolled up his sleeves. Clenched his chubby fist and shouted: "Who? Who dares to be so bold to tear down our corners at this time." My sister can't get out of here, you two follow me, let's arrest them. ”

Saying that, Leo turned around and was about to rush down, but Carter hugged Leo and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, it's dangerous outside, you can't go out."

Melina also clenched Leo's arm, grimaced, and yelled fiercely, "Don't go out." If you dare to be disobedient, I won't play with you for half a year. ”

"Huh?" Leo was stunned at once, and hung his head and muttered, "If you don't go, you won't go, is it worth being so ruthless." ”

Melina smiled and stroked Leo's head with her hand, and smiled, "Is this good?" ”

Carter watched Leo be eaten to death by Melina at his age, it seems that he is going to be pinched by this pink-carved girl in the palm of his hand in this life, Carter can only secretly sympathize with Leo in his heart, and like Lorraine in this life, he can only be a strict wife.

"But you can't just ignore it," Leo said anxiously, "The boss and I have worked hard for so long to get to where we are today." If the fire burns again, half of the city will be gone, and whoever I earn will pay for these people to lose their houses, and it will not cost us our taxes to rebuild. ”

The people on the city wall were shocked by Leo's words with a sense of ownership, and Carter slapped his head, thinking in his heart whether Leo, who was so responsible, was good or bad?

Leo turned to the Janissary Captain and said, "You take people with you, as long as you see anyone setting fire in the city, you will be killed." ”

The Janissary Captain gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, then said loudly, "Yes." Brethren follow me."

Then, with a press on his waist, he galloped down the wall, and in a few minutes the Praetorian Guards rode out of the governor's palace and galloped towards the place where the fire had been burned the most.

Carter looked into the city worriedly. He said to Leo, "Your Highness, you still take Melina with you. Sister go back, there's a lot of commotion here. ”

Leo waved his hand, Lai was reluctant to leave here, and Shumina was also worried about the situation in the city, so she took Leo's hand and looked at the tense face. The place where the fire broke out.

With a helpless shrug, Carter leaned over the city wall and shouted at the guards, "Close the door." ”

The Praetorian Guard guarding the gate replied, "Okay, turn around and go inside."

Suddenly, two horse-drawn carriages on fire turned the corner and rushed towards the gates of the Doge's Palace.

Carter was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Not good!"

Rushing at the Praetorian Guard below, he yelled, "Stop them. ”

The sound of the carriage also alarmed the guards at the gate, and they turned to see two fiercely burning fires rushing towards them.

The hand in the carriage rolled over and rolled off the carriage not far from the gate, rolled on the ground a few times, and then jumped up and drew his weapon and rushed towards the gate.

Then came a large group of armed men who rushed out from the street corner, raising their weapons in their hands, not speaking and shouting, but shutting their heads and killing the gate.

The horses pulling the cart had become frantic and rushed straight into the gate with the flames in tow, and the Praetorian Guards soldiers were forced to dodge to the sides, followed by several armed men who pounced on them.

The Praetorian Guards, who had been trained for a long time, shouted: "Stop them."

Then he raised his sword and blocked the gate and fought with the armed men who rushed up.

Carter's expression changed dramatically, and he held both hands. Picked up Leo and Melina, and yelled: "Someone is sneaking up, protect the adults, and retreat to the backyard."

As he spoke, he jumped down the stairs and rushed down. The other guards immediately came to their senses, drew their weapons and charged down with Carter.

The officials and servants on the city wall only then understood what had happened, and suddenly there was a mess, the maids screamed, and the officials squeezed desperately to the stairs in the crowd.

A Praetorian Guard mage guarding the courtyard flew into the galloping carriage with a series of fireballs, and the fireball hit the horse pulling the cart and exploded, the horse neighed and fell to the ground, and even the burning carriage fell to the ground. After a spark exploded, it burned violently in the front yard of the Governor's Palace.

Following a large group of armed men rushing to the door, it instantly drowned several Praetorian Guard soldiers guarding the door, and the leader shouted at this time: "Kill, catch that son, you will have glory and wealth for a lifetime." Carter took Leo and Melina and ran wildly towards the back house, turning back to the guards and shouting, "Stop them." ”

The guards shouted "yes" and killed the armed men who rushed in, and the two gangs met behind the fire and yelled and fought.

Taking advantage of the guards blocking and killing these armed personnel, the officials and servants who were on the wall just now ran to the back house in panic.

After the Praetorian Guard mage stopped the galloping carriage, Xun and the guards converged, followed by the chanting of the spell, and a wall of fire rose from the feet of the armed men, and several armed elements on the flames were ignited at once, and they fell to the ground and rolled on the ground with a miserable howl.

The wall of fire separated the armed men who had entered into two parts, the front and the back.

These guards are all good at one in a hundred. Except that they almost never disarmed while sleeping, the armed men who rushed in were fierce. As soon as he touched the armed men in the front row, he was stabbed to the ground by the guards, but the militants in the back did not hesitate to step over the corpses on the ground. Rush forward and fight the guards.

After the Praetorian Guard mage had built another wall of fire, he raised his hand and sent out a flash of light, which shot into the crowd of militants, and immediately several more people fell to the ground screaming with burning smoke.

Behind the crowd of guards fighting, a black figure paid no attention to the powerful flames. Holding a white staff in one hand, he walked straight through the flames.

Wherever the man in black went, the flames actively avoided all around, and even the black robe on his body would not swing in the heat.

Neither the guards nor the mage noticed the man in black at the back of the crowd, and the man in black was stunned by the magic technique in his hand. Then a dark shadow flew out from front of him, shooting straight at the Praetorian Guard's mage.

Seeing the black shadow flying towards him, the mage was shocked, and when he was caught off guard, the mage could only use all his strength to dodge to the side.

The shadow struck the mage on the shoulder, and the mage fell to his knees with a scream, and a puff of gray smoke rose from where the mage had been hit, followed by a strong rancid smell.

The Praetorian Guard gritted his teeth and said, "Dark Law retreat, retreat quickly." ”

Catherine and Leo's guards knew the mages well, as they also needed to guard against their assassinations, and the guards had practiced tactics against them.

They knew that these dark mages who specialized in killing magic could not resist it, and the armed men went around the wall of fire and killed them from both sides. One of the guards said "Withdraw".

The guards pulled up the mage on the ground and retreated to the back of the house.

Carter took Leo and Melina and ran back to the residence in the backyard of the Governor's Palace, put Leo and Melina on the ground, and said, "Your Highness, go through the secret passage and go to the venture capital company." ”

As he spoke, Carter dragged a long table in the hall to the door.

Leo jumped to his feet and cried, "This is my house." No one can drive me out of my house

After the accident just now, especially the bloody battle in front of her, Melina's face was white and bloodless, and her hands were clenched tightly.

Listening to Carter's words, Melina hugged Leo tightly. He said as calmly as possible: "Leo, be obedient, obedient, okay? I'll listen to you for everything after this incident." Let's go

Leo shook his head firmly, pointed out the door, and said, "There are still so many people who haven't escaped, as a royal family, I can't leave my own people,

Thinking about Leo's royal education from Archduke Julian and Catherine, Carthus was about to cry and said urgently: "Your Highness." My sister will be here soon

Carter was about to say something, but Leo had already stumbled upstairs.

As the officials and servants who worked and lived in the Doge's palace shouted and poured into the backyard, Carthus waved to them, "Come in, come in." ”

The men rushed into the governor's palace and shouted around Carthus: "Murder." What are we going to do?"

Carthus yelled with all his might: "Give me all peace."

Like a lion's roar, the people in the hall fell silent and looked at Carthusian in a daze.

Carthus pointed his sword at the crowd. shouted: "Don't be stunned, if you want to live, move the tables and cabinets, and block the windows first." You,"

Karthus pointed to an official and said, "Take the two of them to the roof to build a fire, a beacon fire, a beacon fire, do you understand?"

The official hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”

Then he grabbed a pound from his side, and the man quickly ran upstairs.

The men, women, and children immediately went into action, running around the house, dragging a pile of movable furniture in front of the window.

At this moment, the guards who were resisting the enemy were running quickly towards the back house, and behind them were the militants who were crushing the heads of the black.

Blood dripped down the left arm of the Praetorian Guard mage, and seeing that the gate of Lorraine's residence was in front of him, the mage gritted his teeth, put another wall of fire behind him, and then simply fainted.

The guards and mages took advantage of the opportunity to rush into the room. Carthus closed the door, and several people pushed the table against the door.

The guard put the mage on the ground and said urgently: "Yes" There is a dark mage. ”

Carthus took a breath of cold air.

"Don't be nervous, nothing will happen. A soft voice came, and Hilmelia slowly walked down the stairs, holding on to the railing in one hand and Melina in the other.

Shilmelia's voice was like a breeze, and the panicked people in the hall immediately calmed down.

Carter looked at Sylmeria's tired and weak appearance, and said hurriedly: "Bishop, you haven't recovered yet, so let's take Your Highness and Sister Melina's mountain and leave quickly."

Shilmelia looked outside and shook her head, and said, "It's too late, you take the people here to go first." I'll stand in their way. ”

Leo was running down the stairs with a gust of wind. He pinned two short guns to his waist, and carried two long guns and a large ammunition pouch in his arms.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let me the girls. Leo shouted.

Looking at Leo's appearance, Carter couldn't help but laugh and said, "Come and escort His Highness and sister away." Leo grabbed a spear and unleashed the hammer. "I don't. ”

At this time, there was a "boom", and the door suddenly exploded. Sawdust flew, and several guards at the door were knocked to the ground by the shockwave, leaving a layer of broken wood chips on their bodies.

Through the door that had been blasted out of a hole, I saw the man in black slowly lowering his staff.

The man in black lifted the hood from his head, revealing a slender face of a yin warbler, and his face was unusually white. Just like the legendary vampire, it looks like the result of little contact with sunlight.

He glanced at the frightened and frightened people in the room. Finally, his eyes were fixed on Leo, who was eager to try with a musket, and his slender eyes suddenly widened. A fine light was ejected, and a satisfied smile was revealed at the end.

The shrill laughter of the man in black grew louder and louder. Finally, he threw his head up and laughed, his voice as piercing as the cry of a night owl.

He glared at Leo and said, "Finally let me wait until this day, first introduce myself, my surname is Pula, Avenger Pula, and today I want to do justice to the people who brutalized my family sixty years ago."

Leo and Carter looked at each other and asked, "Have you heard of this guy?"

"No, the idiot who popped up?"

Leo put his spear on his shoulder, aimed at Pula, and said, "Hey, do you think your Brother Chun is still Sister Feng, we'll know if you say a name, let's die."

As he spoke, he pulled the trigger and there was a loud "bang". Leo shook back, white smoke coming out of the muzzle.

The man in black on the opposite side snorted. Leaning back, he took two steps back, but stood up again.

Pura shook her clothes, glanced at the broken piece of lead that had fallen in front of her, gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "You all have to die today." on, except for the boy, kill them all. ”

As Pula raised his staff, he shot a dark green ball of light into the hall, and the armed men behind him shouted "kill" and rushed to the door.

Sylmeria clasped her hands in front of her chest and chanted in a low voice. Syllable, a white barrier spread out at the gate, stopping Pula's spell.

Leo tossed the spear in his hand to Melina, shouted "Reload me", and picked up the other one, shooting it at the armed men who rushed to the door. The other party fell to the ground with a scream of "ah".

Carthus also roared, "Come on, block the door with the guards."

At this time, there was a low "boom, boom, boom." The sound came, the voice was not high but unusually clear, and the ground trembled slightly, looking at the crystal chandelier vibrating with jingling bells overhead, everyone had only one thought in their hearts.

"Earthquake?"
