The explosion rang out in all directions, and a contractor walked out of the door to look in the direction of the sound source, only to see a huge fireball rising into the air in the distance.

"What's going on, could it be that the monster has come in again?"

"Someone in the human emperor dares to make trouble?"

All kinds of eyes invariably focused on the rising fireball in the distance, either surprised or puzzled.

Many contractors have already set off to rush to the direction where the fireball is rising, although they don't know what is happening, but when they see chaos, they can't help but intervene, after all, chaos and benefits are often mixed with each other.

Compared with the calm like stagnant water, they prefer the high returns of the fire, chaos is the ladder, and most of these people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

In a remote corner of the outer city, a group of five people were also attracted by the movement outside, and as soon as they came out of their hiding place, they saw billowing black smoke in the distance and the contractors who were rapidly gathering towards the source on the street.

"Big sister, should we go and see it too."

One of the five chubby contractors was also a little nervous at the moment, and asked the tall woman at the front.

The woman did not reply immediately, but looked away from the street and looked at the quiet and dark houses around her.

There was such a big movement outside just now, and none of these civilians came out to watch the excitement, which was very wrong, it was impossible for everyone to sleep so dead.

"Something is wrong, Xiaoxue, let your summoned beast go and investigate the situation in the surrounding dwellings."

"Okay, big sister."

There was an answer behind him, and then a dozen little squirrels rushed out and scattered in all directions, and after a while, Xiaoxue's brows in the team slowly frowned.

"It's really problematic, eldest sister, all the civilians in the neighborhood seem to be unconscious, and they can't wake up at all."

The tall woman was not surprised to hear the reply, and after a few dexterous jumps, she jumped to the top of the building, looking down on the whole outer city from a high vantage point.

It was found that in addition to a thick black smoke rising from the place where the explosion had occurred before, there was also a faint smoke rising in other parts of the outer city, but it was extremely thin and inconspicuous in this dark night.

In addition to these smokes, the entire imperial capital was terrifyingly silent, dark, and depressing, and every building loomed in the shadows, revealing a sense of coldness.

Except for a few contractors running around sporadically on the streets, the rest of the civilians and many mercenaries living in the outer city seemed to have disappeared at this moment, and the entire outer city seemed to have become an empty city where only the contractors existed, and even the knight guards who were supposed to be responsible for maintaining order had lost their traces.

After looking around the group left and right, the tall woman jumped from the roof, but her face was as gloomy as water.

"There's a problem in the outer city, we can't delay it any longer, get out of the city now."

"The eldest sister is big, but the outer city will be under martial law in the afternoon, and the precautions at night must be stronger, not to mention the injuries of Sister Xue and the gunfire......"

Hearing this, the tall woman turned her head to look behind her, a wheat-skinned girl was holding down one shoulder with her palm, but even if she blocked it, a faint holy light came out from between her fingers, and Matthew's blow was not so pleasant.

When the girl found that she couldn't hold it down, she simply stopped hiding it, moved her left hand away, and generously showed her right shoulder, which was tightly wrapped in bandages, where a faint white light was emitting, as if a small light bulb was stuffed inside.

After letting go of her hand, she first glared viciously at the fat man who had just spoken, and then gently moved her injured right arm and smiled at the eldest sister in front of her.

"It's okay, eldest sister, it's just a little bit of holy light, if you can't kill me, don't scruple."

The tall woman was silent for a moment, staring at Xiao Xue's smiling eyes for a while before turning to face the direction of the city wall.

"It was my mistake in decision-making that caused the current situation, and I will definitely take you to survive safely."

"The situation in the outer city tonight must be inseparable from our previous actions, the Knights of the Guards and the Temple of Sleep were killed by us, but they only blocked the outer city, and they didn't even want or search for us, so thinking about it, the most likely reason for this is that they are sure that as long as we can't leave the outer city, we will definitely die, so we don't need to waste other efforts."

"And tonight is such a big battle, but the empire has no reaction, this can only be the military's own handiwork, and they want to target not only the five of us, it should be all the contractors in the imperial capital who do not belong to the imperial side, they want to clean up the entire outer city!"

The more she analyzed, the more firm the tall woman's tone became, and the last two words were even more clear, and after listening to the explanation of the eldest sister, everyone behind her looked around at the surrounding environment full of dead silence, only to feel a chill gushing out of the bottom of their hearts, and they were cold all over their bodies.

"Just because of the team we killed earlier? Not really. ”

"The dragon is waking up......," the woman's voice was low. We are only the fuse, and it will not be long before the army will march to the Dark Valley, and with Bethcord's character, he will not allow any threat to exist in the Imperial Capital after the departure of the Knights of the Guard. ”

"So we can't delay, we must leave tonight, and now the divine heaven is already a fishing urn."

"If you want not to be eaten, you must first mess up the fish in the urn before you have a chance."

"Let's go! Let's go and find out the blockade at the outer wall first, and then we will incite all the contractors to storm the outer wall, and seize the opportunity to escape. ”

"Okay, it's right to listen to the eldest sister."

…………

In the courtyard after the mecha self-detonated, the flames and impact of the explosion had been vented at this moment, but the metal walls on all sides had become dilapidated as a result, and dozens of deep cracks crisscrossed the walls.

Inside the city walls, the entire courtyard had become black, and the ground was covered with charcoal formed by the burning of flesh and limbs from the flames, and the rich smell of gunsmoke and burnt paste lingered, and wisps of black smoke rose everywhere.

In the silence, there was not the slightest sign of life in the entire courtyard, but on the side of the courtyard, there were several coughing sounds from a huge pit at this moment, and then three black figures jumped out from under the pit.

The three of them shook off the black ash on their bodies, revealing their faces, it was Xu Yue, Mandel, and El Luo.

At this time, the three of them were all embarrassed, Xu Yue's silver skin was a little red, and Mandel and Erro were full of burn marks, Mandel's armor was fine, Errro's priest's robe had been damaged.

Previously, in the explosion, Mandel withstood the impact of the first wave of explosions with the shield of holy light, and then Xu Yue blocked most of the fire damage in the outermost part of the pit, while Arrow continued to use his recovery skills to maintain the health of the three of them.

It can be said that in this round of explosions, it was completely dependent on the division of labor and cooperation between the three people to survive, and it was impossible to survive alone without anyone.

"Thank you, Torch Chief."

After jumping out of the pit, Mandel and Airro took the lead in thanking Xu Yue, without Xu Yue taking the initiative to block in front of the two of them, even if these two survived the impact, they would have to be burned to charred corpses.

"Nothing." After a brief response, Xu Yue looked up at the black smoke that formed a pillar of smoke in the sky, and his expression was serious.

"The isolation shield has been broken, and with the explosion just now, the entire outer city should be alarmed, and there will be no good thing to break down next."

Anyway, he took out the flower chicken in the space, and now his health is almost 30% of the danger line, and he needs to replenish it as soon as possible, after all, the battle will only become more intense in the future.

As for letting El Roh treat? The other party's current mana is basically empty, and it is difficult to make an electric spark, let alone heal.

Xu Yue first tore off the two chicken legs, threw them to the two people next to him, one left and one right, and commanded:

"Eat, recovery."

"Mandel, gather all the troops at once, and then it's the real battle royale, they flee, we kill."

"Error, recover your mana as soon as possible."

"Yes!" The two of them received the order, and after Mandel chewed and swallowed the chicken leg along with the bones, he walked towards the crack in the city wall, while El Ro sat cross-legged after eating slowly, and meditated to speed up the recovery of mana.

After Xu Yue finished explaining the two of them, he jumped on the city wall several times by borrowing, and the large and small cracks on the wall were the best borrowing points, standing at the top of the city wall, Xu Yue devoured the flower chicken in his hand, and looked down.

The originally dead and silent outer city has now begun to be lively, through the cold moonlight, you can see that there are many more people on the street, some of them are rushing towards Xu Yue's location, and some of them are rushing to the outer city wall, and there are not a few contractors who find that the atmosphere in the outer city is not right, although they don't know what is going on in the city, but it is not a bad thing to find a good way out first.

After eating the whole flower chicken, feeling the warmth coming from inside his body, Xu Yue threw away the package, clapped his palms, and swept his eyes over the contractors who came from all directions, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Come on, the more you come, the better, and save me from looking for them one by one."

Time did not pass too long, at this time the knights outside the courtyard had completed the whole team, but the number was only more than forty horsemen, the cavalry was in a strict array, although most of the armor had many blood stains and tears, but it did not look embarrassed, anyway, it highlighted its iron-blooded and brave temperament.

In the distance, a pair of eyes appeared in the darkness, silently surveying the Knights in front of them and the broken metal building behind them.

"Sure enough, it's the Knights of the Guards, it looks like it's just been through a fierce battle."

"What's the situation with the building in the back, the contractor made it? Good guy, make a metal fortress in the imperial capital, it's too punishing, it's too punishing. ”

"It should have been done by the bomb maniacs of the Machine Mission, I was impressed by their handiwork, and now it seems that most of those bombing maniacs are cold."

"So it's not because of the monsters, but because the group of people in the Mechanical Mission are too arrogant, and the matter of building a fortress privately in the imperial capital was leaked, so they were surrounded and suppressed?"

"That's how it should be for now."

"Damn, I thought I could get rid of the benefits, but now the fight is over and I withdraw."

Seeing the situation in front of him, whispers came from everywhere, speculating about the cause of the explosion, but because the metal wall behind the knights was too conspicuous, most of the speculation was biased.

Some of the contractors who thought they had understood the situation suddenly felt bored, and after seeing that there was no benefit to be gained, they all prepared to go home.

As for the dead silence of the surrounding environment, they don't take it to heart, it's not normal for the environment to be quiet at night, and there is no such thing as a night market in the sacred heaven, and the residents here have no entertainment activities late at night, so what can they do without sleeping.

Some of the contractors were ready to retreat, while others, who were more daring, looked at the knights in front of them, and a legal contractor with a staff in his hand stood up first, and the sound was heard through the staff in his hand, but it was only heard by the surrounding crowd, while the knights in the distance did not hear it at all.

"Friends, don't be busy walking, a group of lone knights with only more than forty horses is in front of you, what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and now the number of contractors on our side is nearly seventy, and it is not a problem to gather and swallow the other side."

"That's the Knights of the Guards, and there are many priests among them, think about it, if we can blow up the other party, how many good things we can gain, career templates, all kinds of excellent equipment, all kinds of skills of the Holy Light and Healing systems, which one is not very valuable."

"I know you may be worried about the revenge of the Knights of the Guards, but think about what time it is, in a few days the Knights of the Guards will set off for the Dark Valley to defeat the monsters, as long as we work together to break out of the city after destroying this cavalry, when the time comes, the Knights will not have time to deal with us little shrimps in the face of the threat of the black dragon."

"I don't think anyone here plans to participate in the battle of the Dark Valley with the army, otherwise they wouldn't be wandering around the outer city now, anyway, sooner or later they will have to leave the Divine Heaven, it's better to work together to finish this vote before leaving, what do you think?"

The pros and cons of the legal contractor's rhetoric spread rapidly among the contractors, and some contractors who were about to leave also stopped involuntarily, and the huge benefits and not too high risks made these contractors who were originally ready to come over to reap the benefits begin to be tempted.

Yes, anyway, I'm about to leave the Holy Heaven, so why do I care about the Knights of the Guards, in the face of the black dragon, it's good that the Knights can protect themselves, and besides, if you come here, you don't make a profit, you always feel a little lost.

As a result, this group of contractors who feared that the world would not be chaotic began to gather, and the increasing number of people gave them enough confidence, and a pair of eyes with strong greed joined together, wantonly scanning the members of the knights opposite, as if looking at green treasure chests one by one.

None of the people present raised the question of how to divide the spoils, they were just a group of hungry wolves hunting in groups, not a team that cooperated seamlessly, and naturally whoever grabbed it would be whoever grabbed it when the time came.

Under the metal fortress, the knights who had completed the whole team were about to leave, and suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps in front of them, and one by one the people in different costumes came out of the darkness, firmly surrounding the entire knights, and walking in the front was a man with a long-handled staff, who was looking at the knights in front of him with a smile.

"My lords of the Knights of the Guards, it looks like you've just experienced a fierce battle, and I don't know if you need the help of our enthusiastic mercenaries."

Behind him was the metal wall blocking the way, and there were a large number of contractors in front of him, facing the situation of being surrounded by groups, the leading Mandel was obviously a little more nervous on his face, and he shouted coldly at the legal contractor who had just spoken.

"Get out of the way, wizard, gather in the middle of the night to besiege the members of the Knights of the Guard, you are trying to commit treason!"

"Treason? No, no, no, we're not ......."

Before the smiling legal contract was finished, a big hand suddenly stretched out from behind him, pulling at his shoulder, and suddenly, the legal contractor was directly pushed away, and it was a strong man holding a giant axe who appeared in place.

"It's not cool to see you earlier, there are so many, brothers, it's time to take the treasure chest on the other side!!"

As soon as the strong man's deep voice fell, he picked up the giant axe in his hand with a cruel smile and rushed towards Mandel.

The melee contractors roared and began to charge forward, surround the cavalry, the first priority was not to let them run and gather momentum, so to limit the range of the battlefield, now this position is just right, they have to press the knights in front of them closer to the wall.

The melee contractor charged, and the rangers in the rear were not to be outdone, all kinds of guns, arrows, spears, fireballs, hail, etc., long-range attacks fell towards the top of the knights' heads, and the legal contractor who was pushed away by the strong man before looked unhappy in the crowd, and after scolding a reckless man, he also waved his staff and threw out a huge wind sickle.

For a while, the knights were on the verge of a desperate situation, and there were all kinds of attacks flying in all directions, but the leading Mandel did not have any panic on his face, and even a trace of previous nervousness disappeared.

"Royal!"

At the sound of an order, a third of the forty-man knights actually took out their short-handled staffs, and almost condensed into a substantial defensive shield appeared, blocking all the incoming long-range attacks, and the blades and axes of the melee contractors who had rushed in front of them slashed at the defensive cover, and only a few sparks splashed.

At the top of the metal city wall, Xu Yue carried the Bolang Hammer that he had picked up again, looking down at the battle that had begun below, his eyes kept wandering in the darkness behind the contractor, and after making sure that no one was joining, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Almost, there shouldn't be any more fish on the bait."

After muttering a word, he jumped straight down the wall with his hammer.

"Boom!!"

Before the surging roar exploded in the center of the gathering of the remote contractors in the rear, the wide and heavy hammer surface first crushed the bodies of the two contractors from top to bottom, and the scene was like a hydraulic press falling on a piece of raw meat, and the blood exploded inch by inch, and in the pouring blood, the hammer finally met the marble slab on the ground.

In an instant, the earth began to tremble like a landslide, and the marble shattered into countless fragments that brought out a scream in the air, bursting out, bringing out blood flowers all around, and the air wave spread with a huge sound wave, making the brains of all the contractors behind them blank for a moment.

Before his mind could break free from the panic, a Fang Tian Painting Halberd had been swung away in the crowd, and in the roar, the long halberd crossed in all directions, pulling out a sea of blood with a radius of three meters, and the blood and minced flesh covered the entire battlefield under this blow.

With one smash and one slash, Xu Yue almost completely destroyed all of the enemy's long-range contractors in less than three seconds.
