Magda instinctively felt that something was wrong. He tried to lift his hands, trying to break free from the shackles. However, he saw that the three people in the distance had no intention of attacking him. Instead, it was Rubens who suddenly raised his cracked scepter and shot a ring into the air.
What was the meaning of this?
A signal? A warning? Or give up?
Countless guesses popped up in Magda's mind. However, the next moment, he clearly heard the sound of a mechanical structure in the distance. When he looked towards the source of the sound, his grey pupils suddenly shrank!
He would never have thought that the crossbows on the west wall were all aimed at his position!
This was one of the "most powerful" plans that Roddy and Rubens had in mind. If the enemy was too strong, they would directly use the crossbows to attack!
There were originally a total of eight crossbows on the west wall, and they were all aimed outside the wall. However, under Roddy's request, they had all been moved to the inner side of the wall a few days ago. They had already predetermined four shooting points through the test shooting.
In Roddy's plan, once this plan was activated, the soldiers on the wall would be able to adjust the landing points of the crossbows according to the orders of the bishop. After a short period of training, they had already reduced the adjustment time to about 20 seconds. Because they had practiced this more than ten times, the moment Rubens gave the signal, the soldiers had already aimed the crossbows at the bottom of the clock tower!
The crossbows on the wall were originally used to kill enemies from a distance. Just the crossbow's arm alone was more than three meters wide, and the diameter of the crossbow was as thick as a person's wrist. The metal head was comparable to a long dagger, which greatly increased the power of the crossbow. Even if the people of this era did not understand the "law of momentum", they still understood the principle of "strong bows use heavy arrows". Thus, the power of the eight crossbows had already exceeded the limits of an individual's defense by countless times!
Even the strongest heavy armored knight would end up like a skewer if he were to collide with this crossbow.
When Magda and Rubens realized this, it was already too late to break free from the "Holy Shackles" …
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
The crossbow bolts drew streaks of black shadows in the air, carrying with them a dull and oppressive sound of impact. In an instant, they flew across the space of nearly a hundred meters, shattering the stone wall beneath the bell tower into smithereens with crackling sounds!
Magda was instantly engulfed by the dust and debris of the crossbow bolt. Even Roddy who was hiding on the ground couldn't see if the powerful ranger had been hit.
"Just one! It's fine as long as one of them hits! "
At this moment, Roddy's heart was hanging in mid-air. He stared unblinkingly at the cloud of dust. He didn't even notice that half of his body was hanging off the edge of the roof of the fourth floor.
But when the dust settled, Roddy cursed.
"Damn it, he's not dead yet?!"
There was a faint movement. Roddy furrowed his eyebrows. He immediately noticed that Magda's HP was almost empty in the "Surrounding Characters Information Bar". He gripped the dagger in his hand tightly. Just as he was about to call for Wellington's help, he realized that the situation in front of him … was not as bad as he thought it would be.
Magda was indeed still alive. Although the crossbows that were shooting from nearly a hundred meters away had been calibrated, and there were still eight crossbows firing simultaneously. But Magda's size was too small. Out of the eight huge crossbow bolts, only one hit him.
But fortunately, even though Magda was strong, he had no way to defend against such a level of attack. His entire left shoulder was hit, and the huge metal head of the crossbow directly smashed his shoulder blade and flesh. Even his left arm was sent flying!
At this moment, the center of the bell tower had already been blasted by the crossbow bolts, and Magda was hanging in the hole, half dead. His movement of trying to climb up was much slower. Because he had 'lived' for too long, there wasn't much blood flowing out of his body, but the appearance of losing half of his body was really a tragic sight ….
Rody confirmed that Magda did not have the strength to fight back. He immediately raised the ring in his hand and shone it towards Magda. 'While you're down, I'll take your life.' This was his life principle. Just as he was about to rush over and cut Magda into pieces, he did not expect that Magda would support herself with one hand and stand up unsteadily.
Under the Holy Light, Magda's body started to get burned. Black smoke rose up and caused Magda's skin to start to fester. This [Blightder] slowly raised his head and squinted his eyes because of the holy light. Then, he glanced at his surroundings and his body as if nothing had happened.
His already festering face revealed an indescribable ruthlessness, but Magda did not roar and choose to fight with his life. Instead, he looked at Rubens, Wellington, and Titus from afar, as if he was trying to remember their faces. Then he suddenly took a step forward and jumped down from the hole in the bell tower!
"Still trying to run …"
Roddy wanted to chase after Magda, but when he saw that he was more than ten meters away from Magda, he immediately remembered that he no longer had the effect of Moloch's Blessing. His health, agility, and stamina were completely different from before. In the end, he could only give up on the idea of jumping down to chase after Magda. Instead, he turned around and jumped down a small building. After a few leaps, he saw Magda's figure madly running out of the city. He took a step forward and chased after Magda!
He did not want to let such a vengeful person live. If he could kill him, then he must not hesitate!
Although Roddy thought that way, he could only watch as Magda jumped up to the second floor of another residential building. After a few leaps, she disappeared without a trace. Roddy, who was chasing after Magda, did not have enough skills to chase after her. Even the low-level "Leap" skill could not allow him to follow Magda to the balcony on the side of the road. In desperation, he could only shout at Wellington who was also chasing after Magda, "He must get out of the city! Send someone to the city wall! Stop him! "
The knight who was running on the rooftop did not respond. He did not know if he heard what Roddy said or not.
At this time, Roddy felt his body was trembling violently. At first, he thought that it was the side effect of Moloch's Blessing, but when he stopped, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Holding on to the wall beside the street, Roddy found a place to lean on the ground and gasped for air like a fish out of the water.
"Damn, how could it be Magda … This is too much …"
His mind was a mess because in his memory, nothing like this had ever happened. According to the original track, the old Duke should have "died of old age" in the Ducal Palace, and Sally should have died on the grassland. Hollier City was now under the control of Francis "Duke", and the undead Alpha might still be hiding in the Ducal Palace, continuing to lay the groundwork for the Tasman Kingdom's conspiracy …
But now, his arrival had completely messed up everything. Whether it was the Orc Kingdom that was eyeing them covetously, or the undead that would slowly reveal their bloody fangs after a few years, all of them were defeated because of Roddy's interference in Eiffta's territory. All of this sounded like something to be proud of, but after fighting Magda with all his might, he suddenly realized something …
He was still far from being able to save this country!
The scout team that he worked so hard to form was far from being able to defend against the undead's crazy attacks in the future …
The pressure in his heart seemed to have increased by a few times, making the already breathless Roddy feel even more suffocated. The burning sensation in his chest took a long time to spread. Roddy opened his eyes, but he felt as if his surroundings had darkened, and the scenery in front of him began to spin slowly, like a blurry illusion …
It was already morning, and the passersby on the street looked strangely at the soldier who was sitting by the wall, covered in blood. A few of them even looked as if they wanted to say something, but stopped.
Roddy felt as if his arm had become very heavy, and his body could not help but slide to the side. He looked down, only to find that his hand was covered in blood.
His chest seemed to be … injured?
When he realized that there was a wound on his body, the pain that was delayed by the adrenaline suddenly became clear. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he could no longer control his body, and fell to the ground diagonally.
Opening his mouth, Roddy wanted to summon the "Character Attributes Panel", but his vision suddenly turned pitch black, and when the words reached his mouth, they became a low moan.
I need to level up and recover …
That was what Roddy thought in his heart, but in the end, he fainted due to excessive blood loss.
*****
27th of September, Hollier City, Ducal Palace.
"Master, the search team that was sent out still hasn't replied."
"Continue searching! Send out a notice, let all the nobles in Eiffta's territory stay alert! "
"Master, the Governor announced that the convoy will be delayed, and he himself said that he will arrive at noon."
"Go prepare the lunch, that old thing still has some conscience …"
The sound of conversation could be heard. In the guest room of the Ducal Palace, busy servants shuttled back and forth to report information. The two Guardian Knights had already recovered with the help of divine arts, and at this moment, they wore their swords and armor and stood guard beside Duke. They looked cautious, on guard against any possible attack.
There were many parchments in front of the Dukes Of Angmar, and sitting opposite him were the three backbone subordinates of Roddy: Sodelor, Ruger, and Carter.
