"They can't get out of the town!"
"The middle street is filled with plants, and there seems to be spellcasters among them …"
"There's an archer causing a lot of damage, and our soldiers can't stop him at all …"
When the news was passed to the feudal lords, Earl Owen, who had vowed to tear apart Rody's bones and skin, had an increasingly ugly expression on his face.
He never thought that his team of so many people could not find the enemy after more than ten minutes of besieging the town!
How could 80 cavalrymen disappear for no reason?
Not only that, but the fleeing soldiers also brought him a piece of news that shocked and angered him. The captives, who were supposed to be used as bargaining chips, had been successfully rescued by Sodelor's men!
This news almost made Baron Owen's face turn as red as a pig's liver. When he came to Gightown, he thought that he was the most powerful noble. He had the most soldiers, the most knights, and the greatest power and prestige. No matter how he thought about it, he should not be at a disadvantage. But in less than an hour, 70% of his troops were trampled by 60 cavalrymen!
Such a fact was tantamount to giving Earl Owen a hard slap in the face in front of all the lords!
Earl Durant could no longer hide the sarcastic smile on his face. The remaining barons looked at him differently, and there was no longer any fear or awe in their eyes …
And all of this was caused by that fellow called Sodelor.
Earl Owen gritted his teeth fiercely. In his heart, he immediately identified this new baron as the culprit. He looked up at the seemingly peaceful town in the distance and immediately gave a death order. "I don't expect you to surround them. As long as you find the position of the troops, report it immediately! I want to use the cavalry to wipe out his troops! Go now! Can so many cavalrymen disappear into thin air?! "
"Yes, Lord Earl!"
The soldiers accepted the order and left while trembling with fear. Earl Durant quickly proposed a feasible plan. "My subordinate, Cohen, is very good at detection. If you want to solve the problem as soon as possible, I can ask Cohen to help."
This Cohen was an Elementalist under Durant.
Hearing his words, the other lords agreed and immediately sent their capable men to form a mixed team. This was the only tacit understanding they had after they formed a "united front". Although Earl Owen was reluctant, he still let three of the four advanced knights join the team …
Thus, a temporary assault team was quickly assembled. Among them were an Elementalist and three advanced Knights, while the rest were 40 experienced Knights. In terms of battle prowess, they weren't inferior to the Cavalry Regiment led by Sodelor at all, and might even be stronger.
"Catch those guys. One gold coin for each head!"
Earl Durante gave an order to the Elementalist called Cohen. The latter nodded arrogantly and rushed towards the town without even looking at the surrounding knights …
The knights in the rear moved at the same time, and for a moment, it was a great momentum. After they rushed into the town, more than 200 knights from the outer camp also rushed over, followed by the remaining 600 infantry...
Earl Owen looked at such a lineup of "reinforcements", and the panic that had just risen in his heart was involuntarily suppressed.
"With such a siege, they definitely can't escape even if they grow wings …"
Earl Owen was not the only one who made such a conclusion. The other lords looked at Giger Town that had been completely surrounded, and they had already determined in their hearts what would happen to Sodelor.
However, at the same time, a group of twenty people suddenly appeared from the south of the town. They rushed out of the town without any obstruction and ran into the forest in the south under the surprised gazes of the feudal lords.
"What … What's going on?!"
Not only Earl Owen, but the other lords were also a little dumbfounded. They were about 1,500 meters away from this team, and everyone saw that this team did not encounter any battle during the process of escaping, not even a soldier appeared to stop them!
A gap in the encirclement? A loophole in the defense line? A mole let them through?
Before all these doubts could be confirmed, Cohen, who had just rushed into the town, sent out a faint blue signal to the sky. Obviously, he had found traces of the enemy.
This news should have made the lords heave a sigh of relief, but when they saw the symbol and the escaping troops pointing in the opposite direction of the fleeing troops, all the nobles felt that … the entire battle seemed to have been completely disrupted by an invisible hand, and was headed towards a completely unknown path.
*****
Roddy was not a god, and he never thought that he could kill these thousands of enemies.
But as a PVP player who had been on the battlefield all year round, he had 10,000 ways to "distract" the enemy's attention.
Roddy was not blindly confident. The reason why he dared to launch a counterattack in this extremely disadvantageous situation was entirely because … in this era, there had never been a war that took place in a town!
All the lords and soldiers had never heard of the concept of "urban warfare".
Vision, commanding heights, suppressive fire — the soldiers who rushed into the town did not understand the importance of these three points. In their eyes, the moment they entered the town, it meant the end of the battle. That was why in the past ten minutes, more than two hundred soldiers had been diverted because of Rody. Unknowingly, they had made way for Rody in the town.
And it was through this "passage" that Roddy had created that the two Wood Elves and twenty Holy Temple soldiers who were not good at horsemanship, that they had successfully escaped …
Such a thing was simply unimaginable to outsiders, and Natha and the others who ran all the way out were even more incredulous. They were obviously in the most intense and terrifying encirclement, but they did not even see a shadow and easily escaped. Such a huge contrast made them have a strong sense of worship for Roddy …
But this plan was only the first step in Roddy's plan. He was still in Gigg Town, using deadly arrows to distract the enemy's attention —
"Over there!"
"Look at the sign! Surround them! "
"Earl Owen has sent reinforcements!"
Shouts came one after another, and as the huge sign condensed by the Elementalist appeared in the sky, the chaotic soldiers finally flocked towards Roddy as if they had a backbone.
Roddy was originally running in the direction of Earl Owen, but when he saw Cohen leading a group of powerful knights into the town, he immediately slowed down, and then slightly changed direction, running along a narrow street towards the south.
However, he had only run a few steps when a voice came into Roddy's ears from afar —
"You have nowhere to run!"
What followed was an Icicle Technique that was not very powerful but extremely fast.
"Bang!"
The shattered icicles exploded at Rody's side. However, he was too lazy to even turn his head to the side in such a situation.
He curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Master Mage, master Mage, you can only call me master after level 30 … But now you're so arrogant, really …"
Before Rody could finish his ridicule, the sorcerer named Cohen continued to shout, "Those who have been targeted by me have no chance of escaping. Wake up early! Running away is useless! "
"Come and bite me."
Roddy flipped over a wall, and did not pull out an arrow to counterattack. He only turned around and shouted, and then "Leaped" to the adjacent street …
Cohen's face immediately changed color, and he angrily controlled his horse to give chase. In terms of speed, no matter how fast Roddy ran, he would never be able to catch up with a warhorse. However, because of the combination of "Leaping" and "Galloping", Roddy could "ignore the terrain" and easily avoid the cavalry.
Therefore, in the next three minutes, Cohen, who was in hot pursuit, shouted "You're dead meat" as he ran through the narrow streets and alleys. His talent had strengthened the original 2 seconds of casting time of the icicle spell to instant casting. Although its power was reduced, and the cooldown was extended to 6 seconds, it was still enough to pose a threat to Roddy while he was on horseback. Along the way, seven to eight icicles shattered beside Roddy, and it seemed that he had been forced into a corner …
Cohen did not believe that a human's stamina could be stronger than a warhorse's. He looked at Roddy who was dodging left and right, and suddenly felt like he was trying to catch a stubborn fish — when his opponent's stamina was exhausted, it would be the end of him!
"Run, let's see how long you can run …"
Cohen cursed in a low voice. As expected, after three minutes of continuous pursuit, Roddy's footsteps finally slowed down, and finally stopped in the middle of a crossroad.
He held onto his knees in exhaustion, gasping for breath … Sweat flowed down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground. No matter how strong his physical attributes were, running and fighting for such a long time had really pushed Roddy to the limits of his body.
"Hu …"
Roddy bent his back slightly, trying to take deep breaths. Not far from him, Cohen, who had been chasing him all the way, finally revealed a sinister smile.
He jumped off his horse thirty meters away, took out his magic wand, and cast an "Ice Shield". He then shouted, "Run! Keep running! Damn rat … Let's see how you're going to hide this time! "
Cohen's character was arrogant, and he basically looked down on everyone — even the group of knights behind him who were unable to keep up due to the narrow road. Apart from that, his habit of "being overconfident" made him feel an extreme desire to kill Roddy …
Cohen stopped in his tracks, and waves of elemental condensation filled the surroundings. He looked at Roddy, who was still panting, and raised his hand to cast a "Fireball Spell". At the same time, he asked mockingly, "Why? Have you given up on resisting? "
Roddy straightened his back and slowly exhaled. He shrugged and said, "I just feel that … resisting or not resisting is something you need to consider."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of figures holding short bows stood up on the roofs of the buildings around the crossroad.
