Seeing Pullman's figure gradually melt into the environment and disappear into the shadows, Serena popped out all the blades of her remaining arms and looked nervously around.

She didn't expect that one day she would end up in a situation where she would be the enemy of her housekeeping skills. She knew better than anyone that once the Spellbreaker Realm unfolded, it was a deathmatch, and she couldn't leave until one of them was eliminated or the caster allowed it.

However, Serena was not afraid of this, but was a little excited. In this one-on-one duel arena, although the caster will indeed have a great first-mover advantage, in the face of the absolute difference in strength, any skill can only be in vain in the end, just like his previous defeat to the red-haired villain;

Now although he has lost a hand, the other party is holding the little girl, and he also has only one hand. Coupled with the huge gap between the mechanical body and the physical mortal body, it is not certain who will have the last laugh.

"Come on, little handsome guy, hug your sister and fight heartily, I don't know if it's your big gun that is hard, or my blade is sharp. I can't wait to get in and out of your body~"

Serena whispered provocative words, but did not dare to slack off, turning up the power of the mechanical prosthetic eye and the parts of her body to the maximum, closely monitoring the movement around her.

However, as the minutes passed, there was silence in the darkness, and she never waited for the other party to attack. Waiting and waiting, Serena suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized;

This super-advanced forbidden spell consumes one-fifth of the caster's lifespan, and is usually used to take people's lives or at more critical moments. However, if the other party was willing to use it as a smoke grenade at such a cost, then he could have locked the target in the shadow space from the beginning.

"Unless the caster allows it", which means that if the other party's purpose was to get out from the beginning and he had no interest in defeating him, he would have fled with the little girl a long time ago.

Serena tried for a long time, but there was nothing she could do about the shadows that shrouded her. She was all too familiar with this typical Brotherhood Secret Array technique, and now she could only wait until the realm energy was exhausted and dissolved on its own.

When she saw the real sky again, it was early in the morning hours later. In the western sky, the crimson sun is slowly rising.

On the roof in front of them, only fragments of destroyed puppets remained, and Pullman and Marissa were long gone. Guards are shouting in the streets below, searching for the bombers and the missing mayor.

Serena was silent for a while, then laughed out loud and shouted, "Two cuties, we'll have a chance to meet again!" ”

……

Two days later.

As the rebels broke through the outer lines of the county guards, the battle line had reached the edge of the town. In the distance, the wolf smoke of the rebel siege troops could already be seen, and the dull sound of guns and magical explosions could be heard from time to time in the sky.

The Montenegrin county is mobilizing all its forces to resist with the help of strong walls and intricate streets. The streets were filled with soldiers of the Guards, and a dense mass of wagons and stone carts were constantly transporting munitions and magical materials to the various defense areas. Lines and ditches have been excavated from the originally leveled roads, some houses have been demolished, rubble and wooden beams have been piled up to form bunkers, and guards the guard towers and pillboxes that have just been built.

Under the confrontation between the two armies, the remaining townspeople gave up their illusions, and with the group that had been evacuated before, more than half of the townspeople had fled in a hurry with their families.

Most of the people who can leave are relatively wealthy people who have enough money and food, and who own vehicles, but there are still tens of thousands of residents who refuse to give up their homes and possessions, or cannot afford to leave on their own. Most of them are concentrated in the slums, and a considerable number of them are depleted and homeless, choosing to hide in place and continue to stay in this place that is about to be consumed by the war.

At this time, in the slum area of Montenegro Town, many guards were walking around the streets, setting up checkpoints everywhere to check on passers-by one by one.

That's because two nights ago, there were successive explosions and riots near the Bell Tower Church, and the streets of the town had been put under martial law by the county government. Nominally, it was to prevent the rebel spies from infiltrating, but the soldiers and the inhabitants were secretly telling the truth of the matter;

That night, when Mayor Ernest was found overdosed, he was convulsing naked on his bed in the church bedroom. Under the cries of the church nuns, the gunshots, explosions, and the bombed-out yard were all attributed to the spies who had infiltrated the town.

Everyone knows that in the recent Black Dragon Coup in Stormwind City, the family of the mayor's wife, who was born in the noble Elwyn, lost power, and the mayor took the opportunity to drive her back to her parents' home, and he finally had the opportunity to have a public private meeting with many lovers. This silver-haired, purple-eyed, stunningly beautiful nun is one of the mayor's favorite concubines recently, and in order to avoid being seen at the time of the incident, the mayor of the town lifted the defense of the entire block in advance.

After sobering up, Ernest was furious, and the bandit spies infiltrated and cheating with him, no matter what happened, it was unforgivable. The city hall was immediately ordered to dispatch a large number of guards to block the streets and passes, and if any suspicious persons were found, they would be directly taken into custody for treatment. During these two days, many innocent people were arrested on groundless suspicion for the slightest crime, and the prisons were so overcrowded that many were executed without trial.

A man with a hat and scarf covering his face, carrying a bag of things, hurried through the tense streets. He skillfully used vehicles and corner cover to bypass the checkpoints and lines.

But when he passed the intersection, he happened to bump into a patrol of guards approaching him. Seeing him, the soldiers immediately shouted at him to stop, and at the same time gathered around this side.

The man remained unmoved, turned and quickened his pace in the other direction. Behind him, the guards drew their swords in their hands and chased after them. Turning the corner, he leaped up to the wall with agility and landed silently on the other side. A moment later, the shouting guards ran over.

It was a long time before he climbed back from behind the wall, looked around, lowered his hat, and walked briskly deeper into the alley.

Coming to an old abandoned inn somewhere, the man carefully checked his back to make sure it was safe, came to the door and knocked three times. Then he said a secret signal through the crack in the door, and the door was opened. He quickly entered, and the door was slammed shut again.

Inside the inn, Pullman unbuttoned his hat and scarf and unwrapped the package on the table, revealing a few healing runes and some herbs. In the situation of chaos and martial law everywhere, this is the limit of what can be done, and it is a great risk.

Due to the blockade of the road out of the city, Pullman and the others, who came to pick up Marisa, were temporarily trapped in the city. Marisa is still unconscious from her injuries, and the soldiers of the convoy hide in disguise in an old inn, which was once a secret home for the beggars.

Pullman poured the herbs into the cauldron and asked the other warriors, "Isn't little Martha awake yet?" ”

The warriors sighed and shook their heads. That night, Marissa was so badly injured that her ribs were broken in half, and the broken bones were inserted into her lungs. Although he was healed of his injuries urgently with magic, he was still in a coma and had a high fever. She was very popular in the rebel army, and the soldiers were so angry that they wanted to avenge her immediately.

One of the warriors clenched his fists in anger and said, "That half-human, half-machine madwoman, the deputy gang leader in the West Mountain, should have listened to Keith, and shot her with one shot." It's a pity that not only did he take the life of a comrade-in-arms in vain, but now the hall master was injured like this, I really want to settle accounts with her immediately! ”

Pullman advised, "We are behind enemy lines, let alone action, and it is not easy to go out." When Martha is a little better, we will quickly find a way to leave. ”
