Although there were many people in the corridor, apart from Lin Li, the others were either trembling with fear or cold. The only one who was not trembling was Hank, who was still busy poaching the members of the Jarrosus Guild of Magic. Among so many people, only Lin Li noticed the abnormality.
The heavy footsteps did not sound normal. They were too precise, as if they had been measured with a ruler. The rhythm of every step was exactly the same, and there was no noise in between. Accuracy was not a problem, but it was so precise that it seemed a little fake. No matter how well-trained the Silver Storm was, it was impossible to be so precise. It was even more orderly than the best guard of honor …
As the heavy footsteps got closer, Lin Li gradually understood. There seemed to be an additional thoughtful look in his eyes as he looked at the ceiling above his head. This female leader of the Silver Hand was very interesting …
"Serena, you'd better not mess around!" Seeing that the Silver Storm was about to charge into the inn, Rode finally panicked. The encounter this night was completely out of his control. Until now, he still could not figure out what went wrong. It was a good plan at the beginning, but how did the execution go wrong? Not only did he let Serena escape, but she also brought the Silver Storm with her?
Now that things had developed to this stage, he didn't dare to think about the outcome. All he could think of now was a way to escape from this place as soon as possible. If not, it wouldn't be fun if he fell into that woman's hands …
And these few people from the Silver Hand were his only bargaining chips to escape …
But these few people refused to cooperate, especially the guy who was chatting. The more Rode thought about it, the angrier he got. Damn it, does this guy still have the awareness of being a captive? Do you think you're shopping in the market? The knife is on your neck, and you still have the time to chat with others? If it weren't for that damned woman who pushed me too hard, I would have knocked a few more teeth out of you!
"Damn it, you think I'm joking, right?" Listening to the heavy footsteps getting closer, Rode could not wait any longer. He pulled out the dagger from his leather boots with one hand and grabbed Hank's collar with the other. At the same time, he glared at Lin Li. "This has nothing to do with you. Get lost!"
"…" Hank was shocked. Did this guy really not die?
However, to Hank's surprise, Lin Li had no intention of making a move at all. He merely rubbed his nose and retreated to the side obediently, because he knew that there was no need for him to do anything …
Through the vision of the Warlock's Eyes, Lin Li could clearly see that a few shadows had already snuck into a few open rooms …
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
As soon as Rhode grabbed Hank's collar, the shadows in the room moved at the same time. In an instant, there was a sharp whistling sound and a ray of cold light flashed across the corridor. Then, blood splattered and the originally clean corridor was instantly sprinkled with warm blood …
Screams rose and fell, and the originally quiet corridor became frighteningly chaotic for a moment. In the face of this enemy that appeared out of nowhere, the people of the Rising Sun Mercenary Group were simply scared out of their wits. They only knew how to cover their heads and desperately hide in the corner.
But how could there be any blind spots in this corridor?
Those arrows were like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark. No matter where they ran to with their heads in their hands, as long as they stopped for a moment, they would definitely end up with blood splattering three feet high.
In just a moment, the people of the Rising Sun Mercenary Group were shot down.
When this one-sided massacre fell into his eyes, Lin Li knew that the Rising Sun Mercenary Group was finished.
In fact, it was not that they did not have a chance.
There were more than 10 mercenaries present, and all of them had decent strength. The weakest was at least level-nine, and the strongest was more than level-twelve. It would not be easy for Lin Li to deal with such a force, not to mention that there was a figure close to the level of an Archmage standing at the entrance of the inn. As long as he could think of a way to spread the news, the battle situation in this corridor would be immediately reversed.
Unfortunately, they were completely scared out of their wits. The famous Silver Storm in Alanna was eyeing them covetously, and there was also a level-fifteen Gryphon hovering in the sky. At such a critical moment, they just had to encounter the sneak attack of an archer. Now, they only hated their parents for not giving them an extra pair of legs. How could they still have the mood to determine how many enemies were hiding in the room and shooting black arrows?
In the face of this sudden attack, the only one who could still see the situation clearly was probably Rode. But what could he do alone? All of his subordinates were running around in a panic. They let Rode yell at the top of his lungs, "There are not many of them. Everyone, don't panic!"
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him …
Everyone was desperately running towards the room and the stairs. As long as there was a place to hide, it would be the direction in which they ran. They almost used all their strength to run over, and then they were pierced by the sharp arrows that shot out from the dark …
"It's over …"
Looking at the chaotic scene, Rode knew that he was finished. In a few minutes, this group of idiots who only knew how to run with their heads in their hands would be killed by the archers in the dark. Listening to the sharp sound of the arrows breaking through the air, Rode was really unwilling. Among the people present, he was probably the only one who could see the situation clearly. There were not many archers hiding in the room. If this group of idiots were willing to listen to him, how would they end up in this situation?
Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling Rode was, he could not do anything to the other party. Things had already developed to this point. Even if he could control this group of subordinates who were scared out of their wits again, it was impossible to escape from the inn with them.
The only thing Rogge could do was to retreat to the window step by step.
This was his only way out. What he could do now was to take advantage of the opportunity when his subordinates were holding off the enemy and jump down from this window. As for whether he could escape the pursuit of the Silver Storm after jumping down, he could only leave it to fate …
It was chaos in the corridor. The people from the Rising Sun Mercenary Corp were running away with their heads in their hands, and the group of guests were all trembling with fear. No one had time to look around, let alone care about what Rode was trying to do near the window. The only one who realized that he wanted to run was probably Lin Li, but Lin Li was not interested in caring about him at all.
After all, this matter had nothing to do with Lin Li at all.
Disputes between mercenary corps happened countless times in Alanna every day. Lin Li had long been used to this kind of thing. They could fight among themselves, and he could sleep on his own. If it were not for Hank, he would have already gone back to his room to sleep.
Moreover, Rode wanted to run? How could he run …
Lin Li was very clear about what Rode wanted to do.
He even knew that if Rode really jumped down, what awaited him would definitely not be the Silver Storm …
Unfortunately, Rode did not know anything. He was retreating step by step towards the window with his last hope.
"Ah!"
Then, there was a scream.
Rode had just retreated to the window, and before he had time to turn his head, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, followed by a sharp pain. A mouthful of blood surged up from his throat.
"You lied to me …" Struggling to spit out this last sentence, Rode swayed, and fell down just like that.
A slim figure jumped into the corridor from the window. While wiping the blood on the long sword, she muttered to herself innocently, "How would I know you were so stupid …"
Lin Li glanced at the window and saw a tall beauty slowly wiping the long sword.
After wiping the blood on the long sword, the beauty stretched out her hand and tucked her flying blonde hair. This extremely feminine action slightly diluted some of the blood and killing intent from before. Casually tying her long blonde hair into a ponytail, the beauty turned her head back and frowned at Hank and the rest. "What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and go over to help."
"Captain, you're finally here …" Hank smiled fawningly. "Why don't you just let the Silver Storm rush in and get rid of these small fries? Why do you need to waste our energy?"
Hearing this, the beautiful captain's hand suddenly stopped. She stared at Hank for a long time before suddenly saying, "Hank, tell me honestly. Was the guy who wanted to jump out of the window just now your biological brother?"
"…" Hank was confused by the question.
"Otherwise, why would you be as stupid as him?" The beautiful captain flipped the hilt of the sword and knocked it hard on Hank's head. "Do you think I can fly? I can fly back to Alanna in an hour, and even bring the Silver Storm here? "
"Then … Then … How many people did you bring?" Hank was so shocked by her that he even forgot the pain on his head. He was stunned for a long time before he asked tongue-tied, "Everyone is in the Fire Plume Ridge.
Where am I going to find people? I met Aragon's team on the road just now, so I called them over … "
"…" Hank almost went crazy.
The teams of the Silver Hand had always been organized with eight people. That was to say, this beautiful captain had only brought eight people with her to create such a big scene …
Lin Li leaned against the door and looked at this beautiful captain with interest.
The beautiful captain of the Silver Hand was also a famous figure in Alanna. Lin Li had heard the name Serena countless times. Today was the first time he saw her in person. Lin Li had to admit that this tall beauty was indeed worthy of her current reputation.
Tonight's surprise attack was simply too beautiful ….
As the beautiful captain asked and answered Hank's questions, the whole process of the raid became clear in Lin Li's mind.
The Silver Storm that was glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey, and the level-15 Gryphon that was circling the rooftop were all a smokescreen that Serena had set up. In her own words, Blackhills Town was hundreds of miles away from Alanna, and she couldn't really fly. How could she bring the Silver Storm here so quickly?
