At this moment, there were fifteen or sixteen people who stood up. Almost all of them had been hit by arrows, and some even had more than ten arrows. They looked like a group of porcupines. However, none of the soldiers who were shooting arrows could laugh at this moment. They only felt their hair stand on end.
The north-south path had been sealed off from the north, so Derby and the other undead were running towards the south from where they came from. The carriage they used to disguise themselves had been abandoned, but Derby was not worried that Magda would be ambushed. He didn't even have the thought of 'protecting Magda' in his mind. His heart was filled with endless curses towards these cunning humans and an ominous premonition towards the empty street in front of him …
"Pay attention to your defense!"
He shouted again. With a flip of his hands, he silently grabbed two short daggers. At the same time, his body suddenly pounced forward. With one hand on the ground, he nimbly somersaulted in the air, easily dodging the four arrows that were shot at him. Then, with a wave of his hand, he blocked the arrow that was shot at his comrade beside him. Then, with a sway to the side, his entire body suddenly disappeared from where he stood!
This was the "Assassin's" advanced "Stealth" skill. The moment Derby disappeared, one of the remaining undead waved his magic wand that was disguised as a long sword. A green light screen instantly appeared above their heads, with a radius of about seven to eight meters. The arrows that were shot at them slid off the light screen and fell to the ground.
It had to be said that these assassins reacted quickly after being ambushed. From the start of the ambush until now, only ten seconds had passed, and they had already made effective defensive measures and almost succeeded in breaking out of the encirclement …
But it was only "almost".
The undead scattered in all directions. They wanted to find a small alley in the middle of the street to hide, but they did not expect to see countless Holy Temple Guards wielding heavy shields rushing out from the alley. The undead's charge was repelled every time. Seeing this situation, they had no choice but to continue running along the street. Soon after, they realized that the originally peaceful street in front of them had been completely blocked by two groups of soldiers.
A group of cavalrymen took the lead and charged towards their direction. The one in the lead was Titus, who was wearing silver armor and holding a triangular spear. Behind him was Wellington, who was wearing black armor. Behind the two of them were fifteen strong retainers holding heavy hammers and maces. Behind them were ten scouts with the strongest cavalry skills in Rody's army.
With a distance of less than fifty meters, Titus raised his spear, and when the cold tip of the spear shot out, it actually had a faint white glow.
"Die!"
A loud shout resounded through the entire street, almost covering the sound of the horses' hooves. The tip of the spear drew three to four shadows in the air, and directly hit the undead that were trying to dodge!
Some of them were hit in the head, and their skulls immediately exploded from the inside. Some of them were hit in the chest, and their bodies exploded into pieces on the spot. Even if the spear that was glowing with a white glow touched the arm, half of the undead's body would be blown away by the inexplicable explosion. This was the first time Knight Titus used his full strength, and the impact he displayed was far stronger than the one he displayed in the city square a few days ago!
Knight Wellington, who was behind him, did not use a heavy cavalry spear. He only held a heavy longsword in his hand and waved it left and right. Compared to ordinary cavalrymen, there was not much difference. However, if one looked closely at his movements, one could see that his longsword seemed to be dragging along a blurry shadow. Every time he hit an enemy, the sound of the longsword colliding with the enemy's body would be heard twice …
The retainers at the back who were using heavy weapons were equally powerful. Giant axes, mace, and long-handled war hammers were swung at the undead with the speed of the warhorses, making cracking sounds similar to when a coconut was smashed into pieces. So much so that Sodelor and the others who were following behind almost had no targets to attack …
The sounds of collision, slashing, and hooves mixed together. The cavalrymen whizzed past like plowing the ground, crushing the undead that were dressed as mercenaries without any suspense. But this was not the end. A few undead that were lucky enough to survive dragged their broken bodies and staggered out of the square. Then, they bumped into more than two hundred Temple Guards who came after them.
Looking at the heavy armor of these soldiers, the half-metal tower shields in their hands, and the overwhelming long spears, the undead finally realized their situation …
They were completely surrounded!
Twenty-seven cavalrymen rushed to the end of the road and turned their horses around. They began to 'surround' the Temple Guards. The doors of the houses on both sides of the street opened one by one, and the soldiers wielding heavy shields and short swords stepped out, completely blocking the undead's escape route.
If one were to include the scouts who were aiming their arrows downstairs, there were more than three hundred soldiers surrounding the undead. The surrounding streets had been cleared, and there were even five to six mobile cavalry patrolling teams ready to kill the undead that slipped through the net at any time …
At this moment, all the city gates of Hollier had been closed, so no matter from what angle one looked at it from, the group of undead assassins would not be able to escape even if they had wings!
At this moment, after experiencing the 'baptism' of the rain of arrows and the cavalry's charge, there were only five undead that could still stand. The rest were either decapitated by the cavalry or shot to death by more than twenty arrows. Among them, only the undead assassin Debbie had disappeared due to his superb stealth skills. As for Magda …
The carriage he was in had more than ten arrows nailed to it, but there seemed to be no movement in the carriage at all.
The two hundred soldiers surrounding the undead held their shields and forced the remaining undead to the front of the carriage. During this process, Roddy who had already taken up his short bow and participated in the battle had used a few accurate arrows to pierce through the heads of two undead …
Looking at the situation in front of him, the stone in his heart had basically been lifted off his shoulders. Turning his head to look at Rubens who was protected by layers of Temple Guards, Roddy made a 'continue' gesture, and then leaped onto a high platform that had been prepared in advance, the arrow in his hand already nocked —
A few meters away, Rubens raised his hand and released the 'Divine Spell: Eye of Truth', and then waved the scepter in his hand, and a golden light instantly struck the wall of the second floor of a residential building …
"Pa!"
Debbie who originally wanted to use the stealth skill to escape was immediately exposed because of this attack, and Roddy's arrow almost at the same time, when Debbie gritted his teeth and was about to curse, the arrow had already arrived in front of him!
Although Roddy's level could not be compared to Debbie who was a powerful level 28 assassin, but the difference in strength was not something that could be summed up with words. Just like how Debbie could not use his eyes to block the arrow, he could only use his hands to do a backflip to avoid the sharp attack …
And the result of this was that he had completely fallen into the encirclement of the Temple Knights.
"Kill!"
On the other side, Rubens immediately gave the order without hesitation, the 'Holy Shield' did not forget to protect the front of his body, and not far away, Benjamin who had already prepared the 'Holy Binding' spell directly waved his hand, trapping Debbie's body on the spot!
Because of the difference in level, his divine spell could only trap Debbie for a little more than a second before Debbie broke free. But this one second delay was enough for Titus and Wellington to close in on him. Because the surrounding terrain made it impossible for them to carry out a second Charge, at this time, the two high-ranking knights immediately dismounted from their horses and began to engage in close combat.
If it was a one on one battle, Debbie might be able to use his advantage in level and skills to defeat these two knights who had a wide range of attacks. But at this time on the battlefield, other than the two knights, there was also a Bishop, a Bishop and four advanced priests surrounding him …
From the looks of it, Debbie would definitely not be able to escape!
Standing on the high platform, Roddy gently put down the short bow in his hand. At this time, it was already dawn, and the orange sunlight shone from the edge of the eastern city wall onto the street. He stood on the high platform, his body bathed in the light of dawn, looking at the undead assassin that was completely surrounded by the soldiers more than thirty meters away, and slowly exhaled …
His fingertips twirled the Whistling Arrow that was left as the final 'failure alarm', and in his mind flashed four to five battle sites that he had prepared as a backup plan, Roddy whispered to himself in a low voice:
"Fortunately … there were no accidents."
However, just as his voice fell, an accident, finally, still happened.
*****
One kilometer away, in the 'Rose Cross' Monastery.
When she woke up in the dormitory, Sally's mind still had some remnants of the excitement brought about by becoming a priest, but she had no idea that at this time, there was a fierce battle that was happening at the West City Gate which was less than eight hundred meters away from the monastery.
Speaking of which, this was understandable. Because she did not participate in the 'ambush of the undead' plan, she did not understand the details at all. It was only when she washed up and walked in the monastery that Sally remembered that today, her father had sent Titus and Uncle Wellington to cooperate with the bishop to carry out such a battle.
As for the outcome of this battle, she had never worried about it, because ever since she was young, Sally had never heard of anyone stronger than Titus and Uncle Wellington, not to mention that this battle also involved Sir Rubens and Bishop Benjamin. No matter how she thought about it, the enemy should be annihilated in one blow.
Therefore, at this time, Sally was very relaxed. If there was anything she was worried about, it was probably the slight loss and sadness for the upcoming departure.
According to the plan, tomorrow the Governor would bring her away from this city that she had stayed in for sixteen years, to the 'Holy Cathedral' that was thousands of miles away. Therefore, these two days, Sally did not have to pray like before, and was specially given a special 'holiday' by the bishop to pack her luggage.
"What luggage can I bring to the 'Holy Cathedral' …"
She looked at all the things placed in front of the bed: two sets of brand-new priest robes, two sets of black casual robes for daily use, some undergarments, three or four scriptures, a stack of parchment papers that she had previously used to take notes on, the Camila scale armor, and … a set of voodoo dice.
When looking at the last two things, Sally's gaze seemed to be much softer. She thought for a moment and decided to put on the soft armor. She then picked up the dice and rubbed it in her hand. Just as she was about to put it in her pocket, there was a knock on the door behind her.
"Sally, are you there?"
"Chris? Why are you up so early? What's the matter? "
Chris, who opened the door, looked at Sally who had now become a priest, and jokingly saluted, "Can't you greet the priest first?"
"Go away, don't do this with me." Sally looked outside the door, "Someone is looking for me?"
Just now, she was thinking about Roddy, so naturally, Sally hoped that this guy would talk to her before he left.
"You guessed it. It's a guy named Martin. He said that he's looking for you under Lord Duke's order."
"Martin? What's he doing here? "
Sally's face showed a little disappointment, followed by a deep sense of doubt. Sally knew Martin very well. If he did not have an urgent matter, he would definitely not use this method to look for her, not to mention … it was an order from her father.
But even though Sally had made many predictions in her mind, she never thought that Martin's purpose of looking for her was actually …
"Escape?"
Sally looked at Martin in disbelief, but then she realized something. Her delicate oval face immediately turned gloomy, and she narrowed her eyes and asked, "You mean … take me away from here when I 'need' to?"
"Yes, Miss, this is Master's order." Martin turned his head and looked to the west, where the battle was taking place. "Master asked me to wait here for you for a day. If the bell tower in the west doesn't ring today, then there's no need to do anything. But if the bell rings, I must immediately take you to the North City Gate and go to Borl Fortress as soon as possible."
"The bell tower in the west?"
Sally, who was narrowing her eyes, suddenly realized that the battle that her father had been planning for the past few days was not that simple. She immediately became a little nervous, "Is Father confident?"
"Master said that these are just in case," Martin thought about the expression on Duke's face when he said those words, "I think Master should be very confident."
"That's good …" Sally suppressed her slightly chaotic feelings and thought for a moment, and then said, "Then wait here for my order. If the bell tower rings …"
"Dang — —"
The sudden sound of the bell made Sally and Martin turn their heads at the same time. Both of their expressions were a little dull for a moment, but then Martin reacted immediately. He turned around and rushed to the horses that were already prepared on the opposite side of the monastery. As he ran, he turned back and shouted, "Miss! Go! "
"This … Do we really have to go?"
Sally's brain still couldn't figure out what to do when such a thing happened. Hearing Martin's shout, she looked back at the monastery behind her, but she couldn't accept the fact that she was about to escape from here — —
"Get on the horse! Miss! "
Martin's movements were extremely fast. He quickly led the horse to the front of Sally, but found that the girl's numb and stiff expression disappeared the moment she held the reins. Instead, it was replaced by a dignified and calm expression. She turned over and mounted the horse. As she clamped the abdomen of the horse, she asked aloud, "What is going on in that battle?"
Seeing that she had started to speed up, Martin hurriedly urged his horse to keep up with her. While paying attention to the movements around him, he replied, "Miss, I don't know the specifics. I only know that Titus and Knight Wellington are at the scene. The governor, bishop, and hundreds of temple guards are also there. The whole plan was planned by Captain Roddy, and he should be there too …"
"Roddy?!"
