The battle that had taken place at the west city gate had lasted for less than three to four minutes, and Sally had yet to arrive at the north city gate as she had expected.
Geographically speaking, the Duke's Mansion was the closest to the North City Gate. If the car drove smoothly, it would only take five minutes to reach the North City Gate. However, the location of the monastery where Sally was located was a little more than 500 meters away from the West City Gate.
If she went to the North Gate, she would be less than 200 meters away from the "encirclement"!
Sally realized this, so when she heard the "retreat" sound, she immediately pulled on the reins and stared blankly at the closed west gate in the distance. She wanted to rush over, but she knew that she couldn't be of any help at all. Her heart was in a mess, and she was at a loss.
"Miss! We don't have much time. We must get there as soon as possible! Master's carriage will be waiting for you in front. If you can't get there in time, Master probably won't leave — "
Martin understood the situation and immediately persuaded Sally to hurry up. He did not want to see the daughter of Duke, who had just become a priest, to encounter any "accidents". He did not dare to mess up the task that the Dukes Of Angmar had given him. At this time, looking at Sally's hesitant expression, he even thought of carrying her on the horse and taking her away!
Fortunately, Sally was not an impulsive and brainless girl. She took a deep breath and started the horse again. As she ran, she asked in a trembling voice, "They failed … The Governor, the Bishop, Titus, and Wellington are all there, and they still failed … Then Roddy, he —"
"We can't care so much! Miss! "
Martin whipped the horse that Sally was riding on and shouted, "Since they can't stop it, Captain Roddy can't stop it either! He knows the ambush that he planned. If he rings the bell, it means that he has no other way! "
These cruel words made Sally feel as if her heart was suddenly frozen. Almost immediately, the scenes that she did not want to imagine appeared in her mind …
Do I have to return to this city after everything is over, cross the moss-covered stone road, walk to the cemetery outside the South Gate, and face those cold … tombstones alone?
The conversation at the dinner a few days ago was still vivid in her mind. The oath that she made with Roddy still seemed to echo in her ears. When they parted for the last time, she asked him, "Will the next battle be dangerous?"
"It should be. Even if something goes wrong, you and Duke don't have to worry."
This was Roddy 'answer at that time. Now, Sally suddenly understood what he meant when he said, "You and Duke don't have to worry."
The cold morning wind blew against her face, but Sally felt that the world in front of her had become blurred. She grasped the reins tightly. She wanted to rush to the battlefield to confirm that her judgment was wrong, but the reason in her mind told her that she had to run forward!
The sound of hooves echoed on the street. The few civilians saw the galloping warhorses and hurriedly avoided them. Sally turned her head to look to the side. The street that she was passing through was the main road leading to the West Gate. But at this time, she could not see anything except the patrolling cavalries and the closed gate …
"What on earth is going on …?"
When she turned her eyes to the front, Sally noticed a simple carriage parked in the distance. Just when she felt it was strange, she heard Martin say in a low voice on the bumpy horse, "That's Master's carriage … He said he would wait for you, Miss."
Hearing this, Sally felt that her cold and lost heart suddenly recovered a lot of warmth. Until now, she understood that everything Roddy did was to keep her and her father alive …
As long as there were people in the Lucifron Family alive, there was still room for redemption!
Thinking of this, Sally complained in her heart why Roddy was so stupid … What was so important about this family that he risked his life to save it again and again?!
"Ah … Whether you believe it or not, I did this just to let this country … Not to be destroyed by a group of beasts. "
Thinking of what Roddy had said before, Sally suddenly understood. Everything that Roddy did seemed to be really for this "joke" that she had thought at that time.
When he suddenly figured something out, his heart suddenly felt heavy. She bit her lips and urged the horse to continue galloping forward. Her eyes were red, but she did not cry in the end.
In the carriage in the distance, the Dukes Of Angmar was looking at the direction of the West City Gate and sighed, "So many people can't solve the problem … I really can't blame the plan for not being thorough."
Although he knew that the failure of this plan would have a very bad impact, he was still a shrewd person. He just slightly clenched his fists and did not choose to die now. Although what Roddy said before was unpleasant to hear, it was indeed the truth: he could not die! If he died, the Eiferta Territory would be completely finished!
Sally could not die either! She was the only heir of the Lucifron Family!
The Dukes Of Angmar originally had the chance to leave this city as soon as possible, but after all, his father was his father. Even if he had such a chance, he still chose to walk behind Sally. At this time, when he saw Sally galloping towards him from afar, there was an indescribable bitterness in his heart … To escape like this, even if it was the right choice, it was too useless!
Just when he was about to order the coachman to get ready to start the carriage, Angmar suddenly heard a muffled "tut" sound. He turned his head and looked out the simple window of the carriage, but he was surprised to see a long arrow nailed into the wall not far away …
The frosty white ice crystals spread along the arrowhead to both sides of the wall. In less than two seconds, the original grayish-brown wall showed a hexagonal frozen mark, like a snowflake drawn out of thin air.
"Frost Arrow …"
Duke immediately turned his head towards the direction where the arrow was shot from, and just happened to hear a muffled sound from afar —
"Bang!"
Hundreds of meters away, Angmar and Sally could hear the sound from afar. They turned their heads and immediately saw a cloud of smoke rising from the tallest building near the west gate, the clock tower.
The bell on the top of the clock tower let out another muffled sound, and two figures jumped down from the smoke and dust. Even though they were hundreds of meters apart, it could still be seen that these two figures were holding a bow in their hands!
The Dukes Of Angmar and Sally looked into the distance, and at the same time, their jaws dropped: "That's … Roddy?"

Rewind time to a few minutes ago.
Magda, who had easily escaped from the hundreds of Temple Guards, jumped down from a height of more than ten meters. When he landed, he did a somersault and directly entered the shadows of an alleyway. His silent footsteps did not even attract the attention of the patrol team that had just passed by.
Magda held a blue short bow in his hand, and the arrows in the quiver on his back did not fly out because of his intense movements. The robe that was originally disguised as the leader of the caravan had been taken off, and at this moment, Magda was wearing a grey and black leather armor. He moved quickly in the shadows, but his grey pupils were always staring at a few houses not far away …
"How dare you ambush me …"
After passing through the alleyway for a while, he took a step forward and directly flipped over the top of a two-meter tall wall. When he landed, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to the side, and said to the air: "Who leaked the news?!"
Debbie's figure appeared in the distorted air. His clothes were torn and dirty, and it was obvious that he had suffered some losses in the battle just now. But at this moment, even though he was full of resentment, he immediately knelt on one knee and lowered his head: "This subordinate is useless! I … really don't know the reason. "
"They came prepared!" Magda was not interested in finding fault with others, and his pair of grey eyes flashed with anger: "It seems that the two knights and the 'Rose Cross' team are preparing to surround and kill us? Then I'm afraid that they … found the wrong person. "
"My Lord?"
Although the undead did not have a heartbeat or breath, at this moment, at this moment, Debbie could feel his already withered heart twitching a few times … This Magda in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. Even within the Tasman Kingdom, there were not many who dared to provoke him because everyone knew that he was a terrifying person who would seek revenge for any grievances. If someone truly angered [Blightder] Magda, no matter how powerful they were, the consequences would be inexplicably disappearing, or even having their corpses not put together properly …
Obviously, this group of humans was bloody unlucky.
"Kill them. I want those two scammers dead in five minutes."
Magda's gaze moved away, and his words sounded casual, but there was an inexplicable chill in them. "Those two knights, if they can stay, then they don't have to leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode towards the building next to him. Without using any skills, he leapt up and with a single hand, climbed up the eaves of the building and leapt up to the second floor, disappearing from Derby's sight without a sound.
This move was even more nimble than a professional assassin like Debbie. Looking at Magda's disappearing figure, Debbie also knew that there was no room for him to refuse. He touched his bald head, shook his head, and turned around to disappear on the spot.

At the same time, a few dozen meters away, hiding under a low wall, Roddy nervously clenched the scroll in his hand.
With regards to what was about to happen next, Roddy actually did not have much confidence. But he did not have any other choice: If he took a step back, he would be in hell. If he did not grit his teeth and try, he was afraid that he would only be a sitting duck.
Taking a deep breath, he raised his head and looked at the nearby soldiers who were holding up their shields vigilantly, and then looked at Rubens and Benjamin who were surrounded. Then he clenched the short bow in his hand, and pulled the string of the remaining 15 arrows tightly on his back.
Roddy raised his hand, and gestured to Wellington and Titus who had already recovered their ability to fight.
"Let's begin."
"Let's go!"
Wellington and Titus looked at each other, and rushed out from the corner at the same time. Both of them held a heavy tower shield in their hands, and in their hands were not the heavy swords they used in the previous battle, but the short swords that they had taken from the soldiers. The two tall and long-legged knights rushed from the street towards where Rubens was. They looked around vigilantly, and the shields in their hands protected their bodies, and the "Battle Aura" on their bodies distorted the air around them.
Their injuries were no longer a problem after the priest's "Recovery Spell", and from their actions, anyone could guess that they were preparing to gather with the bishop and the governor to take care of each other.
Obviously, they admitted that they did not have the ability to fight back against a "Ranger" like Magda, and the other high-ranking assassin hiding in the shadows was even more frightening.
Hundreds of temple guards moved out of the way under the governor's command, and after Wellington and Titus raised their shields to protect the two elders, they immediately bowed and retreated out of the street under the protection of more than ten shields.
At this time, the ambush team's top combat power was almost all gathered in one place, and because of Roddy's reminder, the two clergymen did not even show their heads. So, no matter if it was Magda or Derby, other than attacking head-on, there was no way for them to effectively attack. To put it bluntly, the two clergymen were like tortoises hiding in a turtle shell, and no one could attack them.
Rody, who was hiding behind the low wall, pursed his lips. The scroll in his hand was almost soaked in sweat. Because the direction in which these people retreated was in his field of vision, Wellington and Titus' occasional glances were all in his sight.
And as the decision maker of this temporary plan, Roddy took a deep breath, and his eyes once again swept across the complex buildings on both sides, and the "corridor" in front of him that was specially cleared by the temple guards. He raised his hand, and made a gesture to Wellington who was looking at him …
"Plop!"
When such a sound was heard, the surrounding soldiers raised their heads in confusion, and immediately realized that someone had fallen. But then they realized that the temple guard who fell was the one who was protecting behind the governor. His fall had directly caused a gap in the "human wall" protecting Rubens!
"Protect His Excellency!"
Someone reacted, and opened his mouth to shout a warning, but at this moment, the two sides of the governor's guards did not have the time to immediately block the gap, and even because of the obstruction caused by the fall of the guard, the moving team had instead widened the gap!
It seemed that no one expected such a "mistake" to occur, and Rubens's angry voice also sounded — "What the hell? Quick — "
Before he could finish his sentence, a "ping" sound was suddenly heard!
The splattering ice shards in front of him were all blocked by the "Holy Shield", and the temple guards at the side took a closer look, only to see that the gap was originally covered by Wellington's shield, and at this moment, there was an arrow bouncing off the shield, and it was almost completely frozen by the cold power!
The full "Battle Aura" made the shield much sturdier than the surface of the metal, and the impact of the arrow was extremely strong, but Wellington held the shield with both hands, and only took a small step back to firmly block the terrifying attack!
