Chapter 12: The Great Scuffle

The other party climbed into the second floor from the alley behind the inn, just as Harlot and Javier happened to walk out of the room. Seeing this scene, Javier hurriedly retreated, and the brave Harlot was so frightened that he desperately squeezed behind Hillnis's back to seek refuge, which immediately attracted a burst of scolding.

"Fuck, you're a warrior, hiding behind archers. The angry elf kicked Harlot out: "Go and cover Lao Tzu!"

"Damn!" Harlot exclaimed, and he nearly fell.

At this time, among the enemies who climbed to the second floor, the person in front happened to rush over, and both sides were too late to react, and almost bumped into each other.

At the critical moment, Harlot still lived up to his ability to be the leader of the thieves. Before the other man could come to his senses, he kicked the man backwards and drew his sword and slashed it over.

Then, the attackers from behind had already rushed up and immediately surrounded Harlot. For a while, he heard the sound of ping-pong, and several weapons beckoned to him together. Harlot was immediately in a hurry, and danger was everywhere.

"Whoa, whoa, help!" he called for help as he stepped back. If it weren't for the narrow corridor, the enemy could only be squeezed together by 3 or 4 people, and he would have been torn apart by the sword a long time ago.

"Bath, go and help!" Raymond said to Bath with a sword that slashed the enemy in front of him and rolled down the stairs.

The enemy behind can't be ignored, and if they occupy the entire corridor, they will fall into a dangerous situation of flanking from the front and back.

Catwoman agreed, and the whole person jumped out. Instead of coming to Harlot's rescue, she reached a little on the railing of the stairway and rushed straight into the attackers from the side.

Jumping into the crowd, the scimitar in Catwoman's hand drew a circular trajectory, and in an instant, blood splattered, and the enemy who was caught off guard immediately suffered heavy casualties. The rest hurriedly retreated, and Baste managed to hold that side.

Harlot, who finally got free, also ran to safety with a rolling belt, and couldn't stop panting.

At this moment, a tall man suddenly rushed out of the enemy below, holding a huge two-handed sword to line up the crowd, and strode up the stairs to attack Raymond.

"Get out of the way, leave this guy to me!"

With a muffled snort, the man rushed to the front, and the two-handed giant sword drew a graceful arc in the air, colliding with Raymond from the bottom up, and a series of dazzling sparks immediately burst out on the dark stairs, and the loud sound of the iron colliding made people want to cover their ears.

Knowing that he couldn't retreat, Raymond could only raise his sword to shake hard, and the two sides were counting attacks, and neither of them would take a step back. They kept straining, and the fragile floor couldn't help but let out a painful moan at the feet of the two of them.

Seeing that the enemy behind him was surging up again, Raymond would be stupid to fight with this guy again, he slammed his left foot to the side, his body moved to the left, and the sword in his hand dragged down, and immediately the weapons of the two made an ugly grinding sound.

Due to Raymond's high position and geographical advantage, when the man raised his sword to attack him, Raymond had successfully reached his flank, and the sword slashed into the enemy's chest with a beautiful turn.

"Ahh

Raymond drew his sword and gave the man a kick. The big man threw himself back to the sky, and the enemy behind hurriedly dodged, and for a while it became a mess.

With great effort, the body of the strong man was lifted down the stairs, and immediately two more people raised their swords to attack. Facing the sword that slashed from his chest, the big sword in Raymond's hand was raised fiercely, and the sword of the man on the left was knocked out of his control and swung upward.

Perhaps having a premonition of his fate, this person's face involuntarily showed a look of horror, Raymond did not waste this opportunity, he stepped in front of the other party and almost pressed close to him, and at the same time the blade in his hand did not enter the opponent's lower abdomen. At this moment, the man on the right had an arrow stuck in his chest and just fell to the ground.

"Quick, the people in the back prepare bows and arrows, and the ones in front will be on me!"

And on the side of the corridor on the second floor, it was also chaos at the moment. Taking advantage of the narrow corridor, Baster was alone in charge, and although there were many enemies, it was difficult for him to take a step forward.

At this moment, I don't know who gave the order, and immediately from the rear of the enemy came the sound of weapons being sheathed, and it was obvious that they were changing their bows and arrows.

"Damn!" Raymond cursed, the narrow staircase was good for them to defend, but they had nowhere to hide in the face of bows and arrows.

At this time, Hilnis, too, shouted, "Let's go back to our room!"

"It's too late!" Raymond kicked an enemy down the stairs, and immediately there was a cracking sound of tables and chairs shattering below, as well as a cut in his arm from the opponent's sword.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Hilnith calmly took a few steps back and pulled out three arrows from his quiver and put them on his bow. Suddenly, he leaped forward, jumped nimbly onto the small aisle handrail, leaned outward in an incredible way, and fired three arrows at the same time, and then retreated, showing the elf's flexible surname.

Suddenly, two screams were heard from the rear of the enemy ranks, which immediately caused confusion.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" With this shout, more than a dozen arrows flew out, and strangely enough, everyone unanimously set their sights on Hilnis.

Hilnis, who had just retreated, slumped into the wall involuntarily, and there was no way to dodge, not to mention that all the arrows were sent from such a close distance, and in the blink of an eye, they had been shot in front of him, and he was about to be nailed into a hedgehog.

At the critical moment, Sylnis showed the amazing skills he had learned in battlefield fighting, he turned his body sideways like lightning, and then took the initiative to meet the oncoming arrows, and the two gray shadows almost met in an instant.

Then there was a dense tuk tuk sound, and Sylnis didn't quite flash after all, her thin left shoulder was pierced by an arrow.

"Harlot, get Sylnia into the room!" Raymond hurriedly turned around.

At this time, Harlot, who was hiding in the room, was looking out, and when he heard Raymond's words, he hesitated.

Cutting an enemy down the stairs with a single sword, Raymond shouted angrily, "Give it to me!"

Harlot was startled, but after all, his awe of Raymond prevailed, and he gritted his teeth and rushed out of the room with his arms bent over, helping the injured Hilness to retreat.

"Aim, kill that elf!"

At this moment, the enemy at the back of the corridor shouted, and at the same time there was the sound of arrows pulling the strings, and it was clear that their target was still Hilness, and it seemed that this elf with his arrows had caused fear in everyone.

At this moment, Baster was busy blocking the enemies in the stairs, and Raymond was also entangled by the enemies trying to rush up the stairs, and he couldn't help back at all. The only thing Hillnis can rely on is Harlot.

But this guy is a greedy person who is afraid of death...

As if he had come to his senses, Hilnith gritted his teeth and put on an arrow, ready to pull a cushion before he died.

At the last moment, Hilnisa suddenly realized that someone was blocking in front of him.

"Get down!" the visitor turned back to him and shouted, it was Harlot!

For some reason, at the critical moment, he suddenly burst out with amazing courage, and he was unbelievably protected in front of Sylnis.

"It's over, I'm going to die, Lao Tzu must be crazy!" the man who had done the astonishing act was muttering with regret, and the hand holding the sword was shaking, but he didn't retreat.

"Shoot the arrows!"

There was a loud shout from the enemy's side, and a wave of arrows came in an instant.

"Ahh

However, Harlot was not a great swordsman after all, and although he managed to block most of the arrows, he was still shot twice in the shoulder and thigh, but fortunately, this guy was very solid and there was no big deal.

"Mom, it hurts!" but unlike his heroic act, he screamed very badly after being shot.

At this time, Hilnis cut off the shaft of the arrow on his shoulder with his dagger and got up. Blood dripped down the body of the arrow that remained on his shoulder, splashing one blood after another.

Patting Harlot's shoulder, which was twisted in pain, the elf said gratefully, "I owe you a favor." ”

Then, he picked up the bow on the ground, mounted the arrow, and shot it back, so fast that it didn't look like a wounded man. As he replied, several more screams rang out from the enemy group.

Due to Sylnis's injury, Raymond's lethality to the enemy has been greatly reduced, and everyone has been crowded in the corridor, if the enemy shoots arrows again, it will be very disadvantageous to them.

Raymond then said, "Quick, retreat to the room!"

"Attack, quick! they can't do it......" The enemy was overjoyed, and one of the leaders hurriedly encouraged his men, but the call stopped abruptly only halfway, for Hirnis's arrow quickly found the person who spoke accurately, and shut him up forever.

Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, Raymond hurriedly retreated step by step to the corridor on the second floor, and at the same time, Baste also began to retreat, and Hillneth endured severe pain and shot arrows to cover them, and several people were gradually squeezed together by the enemy who caught up.

The enemy who rushed up the stairs joined forces with his companions on the second floor and launched a fierce attack on Raymond and the others with all their might. Fortunately, both sides were close to each other at this time, and the enemy archers behind did not dare to release their arrows, so as to avoid a major threat to them.

"I say, think of a solution!" As the enemy poured in, even Hilnis had to engage in melee combat. He shouted as he struggled with his dagger to fend off the onslaught of the enemy.

At this moment, an enemy slashed his sword, and the dagger in Sylnis's hand was slashed away. The enemy was overjoyed, and was about to strike a second sword, when the elf drew an arrow from the quiver on his back and plunged it into the throat of the proud opponent.

The man fell with a look of reluctance to look up to the sky, but immediately two more swords filled his place. At the critical moment, Harlot once again burst out with rare courage, he shouted and took a step forward, holding the sword in his uninjured hand, and swung it wildly.

"Die, do you really think Lao Tzu is a bully?"

The crazy Harlot startled the enemy, especially since he had no discipline at all, and swung his sword like a mad man with a stick, which caused considerable psychological pressure on people. Frightened, the group of enemies retreated in fright.

However, although this move is strong, it is also dangerous for one's own people. In Harlot's indiscriminate swing, the blade of the sword repeatedly swept over or around the heads of Raymond and the others, and immediately attracted a burst of bitter scolding.

"Damn, what are you crazy about?"

"If you want to die, you rush up and fight the enemy, do you want to pull your own people on their backs?"

"Meow, I'm going to be angry!"

Suddenly, Harlott accidentally slashed Raymond in the shoulder with a sword. He immediately came to his senses and was frightened: "Wow, boss, I didn't mean to!"

"I'll settle accounts with you when I go back. Raymond snorted angrily.

Taking advantage of the slight relaxation of the pressure, he and Baster rushed forward in unison, but instead forced the enemy to a little overwhelmed.

But such an advantage was only temporary after all, and soon they were pressed back. By this time, everyone had retreated to the door of their room, and Javier was watching the battle outside with an anxious expression.

Seeing that the last line of defense was about to fail, at the critical moment, everyone suddenly heard a strange loud noise, click, click......

With the sound of a wooden plank breaking, everyone felt the floor sink down under their feet.

Raymond reacted immediately, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, retreat to the room!"

Since a few people happen to be right at the door of the room, they just need to jump to the side. First Bath, then Silnis, and Raymond jumped into the room after slashing down an enemy.

Unexpectedly, the unlucky Harlot was injured in his foot, and he fell to the ground at a critical moment. Before he could get up, he only heard a series of crackling sounds, and the already rotten floor could no longer withstand the toss of everyone, and the entire corridor collapsed in an instant.

All the enemies screamed in unison, and as the broken planks and dust fell from the sky, Harlott was grabbed by Raymond the moment he fell.

At this time, the enemy fell down in a mess, and the latter fell to the person who landed first, and then was buried by the falling planks, and in an instant, the hall on the first floor was filled with smoke and dust, accompanied by constant moans and wails, and there was chaos.

Raymond took Harlotra back to his room, and several people looked at the entire corridor that had disappeared from the doorway, and they were all shocked. If they had been one step slower, they would have to fall down and be in the company of those unlucky ones.

Or if the corridor doesn't collapse at a critical moment, no one dares to imagine what it will become now.

"Quick, hurry up and get out of the back. Time must not be lost, Raymond couldn't care about emotion, and hurriedly said.

The five climbed out of the window at the back of the room and jumped into the alley behind the inn.

"Mom, I finally escaped. Sitting on the ground, Harlot said happily.

Although they fell into the enemy's trap in this battle, fortunately, Raymond commanded properly, took advantage of the geographical advantage, and Harlot's incredible character exploded, and they escaped successfully under the siege of the enemy who had an absolute advantage, which has to be said to be a miracle.

After this battle, Harlot was hit by two arrows and was the most seriously injured, Sylnis was shot through the shoulder, and his arm could barely be lifted, and Raymond also had several wounds on his body, one of which was contributed by Harlot.

Only Catwoman fought from front to back, and she didn't even have any bruises from beginning to end, and she jumped the most happily.

Seeing that several people were injured, Javier said guiltily: "I'm really sorry everyone, it's been going so well these days, I was so careless that I didn't realize that it was a trap." "Blame you

"It's good that you know, it's best to compensate us for hundreds of thousands of medical expenses per person, and I don't blame you... Oops!" Harlott said with a grin.

Raymond slapped him on the back of the head to shut him up, and said, "Who do you think it would do?"

Javier said: "The most likely is of course the Ravuit Federation, they must be very unhappy with our constant contact with the powerful people in the city these days. They are the only ones who can forge such a realistic letter and deceive me. ”

"It seems that we will have to be more careful in the future. Raymond mused.

At this time, Hilness said to Harlot with an appreciative face: "I really didn't expect you to be so brave." I said, you couldn't have just taken the wrong medicine, did you?"

Knowing that Hilness was just a joke, Harlot said with a horrified face: "Maybe it's really, think about it, how could I do such a stupid thing." Mom, it scared the hell out of me. ”

"Strange, every time I've been weird these days?"

"What the hell were you thinking?" said Sylnis.

"No, I'm just... Ahh

"At that time, I actually had those words that Rubens had told me in my head, and my head rushed out as soon as I got hot. Harlot exclaimed: "Damn, Lao Tzu can't be brainwashed by that guy, right?"

Seeing that he was amused, Javier couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that Rubens has been very successful in teaching you." ”

Harlot was about to say more, when suddenly he heard a bang, the back door of the inn to the back alley was kicked open, and a man walked out shaking his head: "Damn, I fell to death... Huh?"

The two sides looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.

Raymond couldn't help but scream in his heart, and after escaping from the hotel, everyone relaxed for a while, and even forgot to leave immediately. And they obviously forgot that the enemy just fell from the second floor, and although it hurt, it basically didn't kill anyone, and at this time I am afraid that most of the enemies got up.

After being stunned for a moment, the man immediately shrank back, and at the same time heard his shout from the hotel: "Those guys are in the back alley, chase after them!"

"No, run!" Javier said hurriedly.

"I... I can't move. Harlott clutched the arrow wound on his thigh. The situation was urgent just now, and he couldn't feel running and jumping, but when he relaxed a little, the huge pain made it difficult for him to move anymore.

At this moment, there was a chaotic noise in the inn, and it was clear that the enemy was gathering and chasing. If they don't run again, when they chase them into the alley, everyone will never have a chance to escape.

"Oh my God, what are we going to do?" said Hilnis, despairingly.

"Say it first, don't say anything for the sake of righteousness, and then throw Lao Tzu down and wait for death. Harlot cried.

At the critical moment, Raymond inadvertently reached into the pocket of his waist, where there were two bulging things.

He pulled out one, the same strange ball that Elina had given him, or rather sold to him.

Javier was anxious, but saw Raymond staring at a round ball in his hand in a daze, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "Lord Raymond, what are you doing?"

Suddenly made up his mind, Raymond gritted his teeth: "Dead horses should be live horse doctors." ”

He pressed the bulge at the top of the ball and threw it into the inn through the window in the back alley.

"Hey, what is this?" said someone inside, strangely.

"Remember, be sure to get down. Remembering Alina's advice, Raymond shouted again: "Get down!"

Everyone was puzzled, but they still followed him to the ground. Hilness couldn't help but say, "My lord, what are we doing here?"

"Of course they surrendered, they all lay on the ground, and this time they really couldn't descend anymore. Harlot said pessimistically: "Lao Tzu's first life is famous." ”

Before the words fell, a loud bang was heard.
