Where there is light, there will be shadows. The Shadow Priest, Gallup, who stood against the Holy Light, controlled the powerful power of shadows. In front of him, two translucent creatures that looked like they were made of thick fog slowly rose from the ground. They were initially shapeless like mud, but as Gallup pointed his short staff at the Gladiator with the highest damage, the two shadows instantly took on the same form as the Gladiator!
His well-defined muscles, his tall physique, and even the scimitar in his hand to increase the lethality of his attack were exactly the same!
This spell required Gallup to continuously chant and control it, so he kept his staff raised high and cast a Shadow Wall that was much stronger than the Holy Shield in front of him. This high-level shield could only be cast once at a time, and its only flaw was that it could not protect the caster from all directions like the Holy Shield. However, the 120 ° defensive angle was enough to block most of the attacks in front of him.
Behind him, the Viper Cross assassins kept surging forward. Those powerful members with advanced professions were desperately trying to weaken the defense in front of Rubens, while the two Shadow Guards charged into the fray under Gallup's continuous casting, charging at Rubens together …
"Boom!"
A Sanctum Guard raised his shield to block, but was kicked by the Shadow Guard. The sound was as loud as the tolling of a bell. The shield with a metal surface and wooden frame caved in on the Sanctum Guard's arm, and the huge force shattered the bones in his arm. His body flew out and crashed into three or four of his companions before falling to the ground …
This power seemed to be far more terrifying than the bald man. After the two Shadow Guards charged into the crowd with the Gladiator, they immediately set off a storm of blood. With absolute strength, they were invincible, and no one could stop them!
"Lord Governor …"
"There's a problem!"
Before he could finish, Rubens interrupted him with a terrible look on his face. Obviously, he understood that the four teams of Templar Knights had not appeared until now. Something must have happened!
"It shouldn't be like this … it shouldn't be like this …"
He swung his scepter forward, and a golden beam of light struck the mage who was casting fireballs in front of him. Crack! The mage's scepter was instantly shattered, and he was sent flying. However, he was a Light Priest after all, and his destructive power couldn't compare to the Shadow Priest Gallup at all. Such a divine spell wouldn't be able to solve his current predicament.
The heretics had already surrounded him and the guards around him. Rose Cross, who had yet to receive reinforcements, was in danger!
Rubens was getting more and more anxious. Based on the current situation, the few Advanced Professional Assassins that had rushed in were enough to threaten his life!
Damn it, what was going on? Who dares to stop my soldiers?
Turning his eyes, Rubens saw Akasha and the "surrendered" heretics standing in the crowd not far away. Rubens immediately thought of a possibility. He cursed in his heart, "Traitors cannot be trusted." He waved his hand and a "Light of Punishment" hit her. He shouted angrily, "Akasha, how dare you trick me?!"
This bitch … I shouldn't have trusted her at all!
Venting his anger in a moment of desperation was not something a bishop should do. However, he really couldn't calm down at this time. After all, based on the information he had, Akasha was the one who had the most opportunity and motive to harm him …
Who else would target the Rose Cross?
Naturally, he didn't think that it was Francis, an "unrelated" guy, who had stopped his Templar Knights. Therefore, Akasha and her men were immediately classified as "enemies" by him …
After this attack, the three tall figures, one white and two black, had already rushed all the way to not far away from him like a chariot, pressing down on him like a mountain!
The bald man kicked away the guard in front of Rubens. His high martial arts allowed him to deal with the siege of three or four guards with ease. The machete in his hand slashed and slashed with great force, and every strike was fatal. When his left hand punched out, even the "Holy Shield" could only block it for a moment before it completely shattered …
"Get out of here!"
The muscular man roared angrily. He also suffered a lot of injuries, and there were a few bloody wounds. However, he had released the "Berserk Roar" which was similar to the "Bloodlust" spell. At this time, he almost ignored the pain. His attack power and attack speed had increased by 30%. Therefore, the Templar Guards in front of him couldn't even block him and were blasted away.
He almost sacrificed his life to destroy the last line of defense in front of Rubens. The real trump card was naturally the two "Shadow Guards" that followed behind. They were controlled by Gallup's short wand. At this time, their bodies had become a little thinner, but their power did not decrease at all.
"Ha!"
A huge wave of air exploded from the muscular man's body. He swung his arm and threw his weapon, directly impaling a guard who couldn't dodge in time. At the same time, he swung his fist and directly sent the last guard in front of the two old men flying …
Rubens and Benjamin's divine arts rained down on him, forcing him to take a few steps back. However, the two Shadow Guards took advantage of the situation and rushed over. The divine arts immediately poured down on the two guards, but no matter how many holes or mutilations were created on their bodies, as long as Gallup, who was chanting a spell with his short wand in the distance, continued to cast the spell, the two guards would always maintain their form and attack power!
At this moment, both Rubens and Benjamin experienced the suffocating feeling of facing the God of Death. The opponent's raised scimitar could not be stopped at all. The guards beside them had already been sent flying, and some of their corpses were not even complete. Blood spurted out of nowhere and flowed down the "Holy Shield" in front of them, as if foreshadowing the fate of the two bishops of high status and authority.
The two retreated one after another. The few divine arts that attacked Gallup could not even shake the "Shadow Shield" in front of them, and they had no way of escaping the pursuit of the Shadow Guards … The scimitar smashed through the "Holy Shield" with a "crack". Bishop Rubens tripped over the corpse of a guard and fell to the ground. Blood stained his originally crimson robe, and even his magnificent crown fell to the ground. He looked extremely pathetic …
Benjamin was still making his last stand, but no matter what spell he cast, the Shadow Guards were closing in on him step by step. The scimitar was raised, and under Gallup's control, the Shadow Guards slashed down at Rubens and Benjamin …
***
Rewind time to two minutes ago.
When Gallup angrily denounced Akasha as a traitor and began to chant the summoning incantation of the "Shadow Guards", the group of people from the monastery not far away from the Governor suffered an unexpected calamity. The mercenaries sent by Francis had already charged straight at Sally!
The monks and nuns who stood in the way of these killers along the way were brutally slashed and kicked to the ground. The teenage boys and girls were no match for these ferocious fellows. Although Brook and Ryan wanted to stop them, they did not have the courage to do so, and they did not have a suitable weapon. They were sent flying in a single exchange …
When Sally, who was standing at the edge of the group, noticed the situation, she immediately ran towards the crowd in the distance.
"Whoosh —"
A crossbow bolt flew past her body, but it didn't hit her. Three or four crossbow bolts that flew towards her were blocked by shields with "ding ding dang dang" sounds!
The three or four people who suddenly appeared were the mercenaries that Sally had prepared beforehand. At this moment, these mercenaries who were dressed like peddlers were holding fine weapons that they had found in the carriages. They quickly rushed to Sally's back and protected the Duke's daughter tightly!
In the distance, Rubens and Benjamin, who were being pressured by the Shadow Guards, did not notice what was happening. Francis, who was pretending to be hit by an arrow, was staring at his sister who was about to die. But obviously, the mercenaries under Sally had completely exceeded his expectations!
Francis, who was holding his "injured" arm, widened his eyes. He roared at Willy angrily, "Damn it! Didn't you take care of her mercenaries?! "
"Both mercenaries were secretly taken care of, Master …" Willy did not understand what was going on. Just as he finished speaking, a crossbow arrow pierced through his head. Blood splattered on Francis' face. The count was shocked and turned around, only to find more than ten armed mercenaries shooting arrows at him from Sally's side …
"Stop them!"
Another arrow whizzed past him and killed a guard beside him. Francis immediately pulled out his wand and chanted a spell. An "Ice Shield" appeared around his body, and after three seconds of chanting, he cast a fireball spell. Boom! The mercenaries were blown away!
The power of an Elementalist was finally revealed. The mercenaries that Sally sent had to protect her and attack Francis at the same time, so they did not pose much of a threat to him. Francis waved his hand and shouted, "Crush them!"
The battle between "Rose Cross" and "Viper Cross" had just reached its climax, but Francis and Sally's assassination and counter-assassination happened at the same time … Such a chaotic scene made the onlookers and the injured nuns and nuns unable to understand what was going on. They could only see the flashing swords and splattering blood. Their ears could only hear the chaotic screams and the muffled sound of weapons colliding with shields. At a certain moment, footsteps could be heard. When they looked up, they saw more than ten armed thugs rushing towards Sally with ferocious looks in their eyes …
Then … there was a series of explosions from the fireballs.
If time was frozen, one would see Francis looking at Sally with a ferocious expression. He held his wand and the fire element in front of him was rapidly gathering. His lips moved silently as he silently chanted a spell …
Dozens of meters away, Sally, who was protected by layers of mercenaries, was retreating to the distant street. Her face was tense as she ordered her subordinates to bring the horses from the back over amidst the sounds of battle …
At the same time, the temple guards in front of Rubens and Benjamin were cleared. The two shadow guards raised the machetes in their hands and swung them straight down!
"Snaketooth" Gallup, who was more than ten meters away, smirked. The madness in his eyes could not be concealed. It was as if he could already see the two elders' heads separated from their bodies …
From the beginning of this plot, Rubens, Gallup, and Francis had all experienced a "miscalculation". At this moment, it seemed that Gallup and Francis were about to become the final "winners".
However, in the next moment, all of their plans were completely … reversed because of a figure that they had completely ignored.
An orange-red streak streaked across the sky.
