"Why are you looking at me?" Ainphent's father, Feliot, glared at his son.
"I want you to help. I'm afraid there are strong people in the city." Lannie sighed. She didn't think she would become bait for Sephiroth. They had left in a hurry this time. In order not to arouse suspicion in the family, she and her husband didn't empty the house. Instead, they left behind a lot of equipment that the Clyde Family needed.
The so-called strong people were professionals above level seven. Lannie also knew that if a professional above level seven set up a trap, it would be much more powerful than a head-on battle. If they did not have good equipment, the Royal Swordsman Battalion would suffer heavy casualties. Salin's method was just another barrier. Fifty skeleton soldiers couldn't change anything.
At this moment, Salin grinned and said, "Uncle Feliot, if you have any powerful equipment with you, feel free to use it. I will compensate you for your loss with Rex."
"Humph, it doesn't need powerful equipment. I heard you have puppets? Release them and your Demon Hunter Spiders. These puppets are basically unaffected by divine spells. As for me, I will try my best. "Feliot glared at Salin again.
Salin shut up. He didn't have parents and always envied Ainphent. Feliot and Lannie's attitude toward him was what he liked the most. Feliot treated him like Ainphent, which made Salin feel indescribable.
The officer had been with Salin. After hearing Feliot's words, he realized that Salin was a magician. Seeing the strange equipment on Salin, the officer muttered in his heart, "Did I make a mistake?" He couldn't tell that Salin was stronger than him. He was a sword saint and only 40 years old. Salin should be at least half his age. Was he a great magician?
That was possible. Wasn't Nania a level four magician? She was also less than 20 years old. It seemed that the people around Rex couldn't be underestimated. If he decided to follow the king, he had to build a good relationship with these people.
The middle-aged officer made a gesture. The royal swordsmen in front slowed down as if they had eyes in the back of their heads. The officer said to Salin, "Sir, why don't we release the puppets now?" The puppet's speed might be able to keep up with the warhorses, but there was still a distance of ten li between them. Making the puppet run at top speed would consume a great deal of energy, and it would be no different from fighting at full strength.
"Alright." Salin released the twelve battle puppets that Rex had given him for research. He said to Nania, "You should be able to control these twelve fellows."
Then, Salin took out two construction puppets and said to Trish, "You control these two. Don't direct the battle, just control their positions to prevent any assassins from approaching our mages."
"Understood." Trish wasn't interested in this battle. There were still thousands of troops rushing over. Although they had slowed down and were 15 miles away, it wouldn't take long for them to arrive with the ability of that army. The Church had set up the trap too hastily. It was as if they had come to their deaths.
In Trish's eyes, the people from the Church were not stupid, but had other plans. He didn't know why these people were sacrificed, but it was fine as long as it had nothing to do with Salin.
Trish didn't say what he was thinking. After all, he wouldn't feel bad even if these humans died. It was fine as long as he could bring Salin safely back to Metatlin City. After returning to Metatlin City, he had to take a good rest so that he could master the abilities of a Greater Demon as soon as possible. That Joey was really too scary. He only used a bottle of potion to help him break through his limits and advance smoothly.
This was something even the Demon God of the Demonic Plane couldn't do. Trish was completely subdued by Joey. He was immersed in his own world and didn't remind anyone.
Sue was indifferent. He could definitely protect Salin for half an hour, unless the enemy was a gold Sword Saint. Once someone who learned sword energy reached the level of a silver Sword Saint, they would have the ability to fight against mages. Even if it was a level-seven Magic Shooter, Sue was confident.
Salin's Hunter Spider became very small and lay on the head of the skeletal warhorse. The team sped up and rushed to the Green Dragon Stone.
The setting sun was like blood. The team braved the wind, and Salin's brocade robe danced in the wind like a bright flag.
The city gate was in sight. The royal swordsmen also felt that something was wrong. No matter how faint the smell of blood was, it was too obvious to warriors like them who had seen blood. Immediately, eight cavalrymen separated from the team and were about to enter the city gate to investigate. In the middle of the team, eight spells flew out and fell on them.
Each of them was blessed with a Resistance Ring of Fire. This kind of magic was almost immune to divine spells. In other words, fire magic and divine spells originally had the effect of canceling each other out. Using fire magic to attack divine spells wouldn't be too effective either. Unless the difference between the two sides was too big, or they had some special equipment that carried multiple attributes, it would be an exception.
On the battlefield, low-level spells wouldn't interfere with each other. These eight cavalrymen had an additional layer of magic protection on them. They became more courageous and sped up, leaving the team and rushing to the city gate.
Inside the city gate was a wide road. Although the Green Dragon Stone was a small place, the road in the middle was wide and flat. During times of war, this was a relay station for replenishing water, allowing a large number of troops to pass quickly.
The eight cavalrymen rushed into the town. After running for more than a hundred meters, they didn't find anything unusual. Just as they were about to disperse, from the two sides of the alleys, eight warriors wearing white robes silently rushed out. Each of the warriors was holding a cross spear in their hands. The cross spear hooked onto the leg of the cavalrymen's horse and pulled hard. The war horse cried out in pain and fell down. Only the leader of the cavalrymen, because of the special armor on the horse's leg, was able to keep the war horse.
The eight warriors in white immediately abandoned their cross spears and switched to sharp short swords in their hands, pouncing on the cavalrymen.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The eight of them were covered in flames as they rolled out. Before they could even use their short swords, they had already been repelled by the Resistance Ring of Fire.
"Let's retreat first!" The warrior on the war horse took out his long sword and turned his horse around, wanting to return to the outside of the town. Suddenly, the city gate was covered in fog. The fog in the surroundings also came out from the houses. This fog was heavy and damp, with a trace of blood red color, and the smell was incomparably fishy.
"Poison!" The warrior on the horse roared and immediately sealed the breathing hole on his helmet, activating the magic array on the armor. After the armor was completely sealed, it could allow the warrior to continue fighting for three hours without needing to open the armor. This was the equipment of the Royal Swordsman Battalion, specialized in dealing with magic like poisonous fog.
There were huge tiles on the roof. These tiles suddenly changed shape, turning into magic beasts that were more than a meter long. They pounced down the street and surrounded the eight Royal Swordsmen.
The people outside the city gate only had time to see the eight swordsmen being surrounded. Then, the fog became so thick that it blocked their vision, making it impossible to see anything in the city.
Nania was about to move, but Salin stopped her. He signaled to a group of warriors beside him, telling them to seal their armor. Then, Salin urged the skeleton war horse to the front of the city gate.
He unfolded a Gale Spell scroll and activated this spell inside the city gate. The gale that rose from the ground quickly dispersed the fog inside the city gate, but the eight warriors inside the gate were all gone.
"Sir, should we retreat and wait for the people behind us to catch up?"
"No need, Ainphent!" Salin shouted in a low voice. Only then did the fifty skeletons rush into the city gate. Salin and the others didn't expect that the people in the city would attack without waiting for the main force to enter, as if they weren't worried that their large group wouldn't enter the Green Dragon Stone.
This wasn't an ambush, it was a provocation.
Sue had already come to Salin's side. Salin said to Sue, "You protect Nania. I'll go with Ainphent, there won't be any trouble. There's also Trish."
Sue knew that Trish was powerful, so she nodded and rode to Nania's side.
"Enter the city!" The officer beside Salin saw that Salin didn't object and also wanted to save his brothers. He didn't believe that the eight powerful swordsmen would die in such a short time.
The skeletons rushed into the city. As expected, they weren't purified. The enemy mages were hiding somewhere and didn't attack the skeletons. Dozens of white-robed warriors rushed out of the alley, waving their swords and slashing at the skeletons.
Ainphent and the others were all riding skeleton war horses, so they weren't afraid of weapons like crossbows. The horses' legs were as hard as metal. All the warriors' armor was sealed, and the others were protected by magic. The alley was filled with fog. Only one long street was clean after the Gale Spell blew.
In the fog, there were more than a meter long magical beasts pouncing out, as well as white-robed warriors. These white-robed warriors looked cold and unafraid of death. The two sides quickly collided with each other. There was no order to the battle.
In a battle within the city, formations weren't very useful. Salin's Elemental Eye could clearly see the silhouettes of people in the fog and distinguish between friend and foe, but he couldn't find the person controlling the fog.
More than two hundred people entered the Green Dragon Stone. The city gate was blocked by the fog again. The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and had already spread outside the town. Soon, the entire Green Dragon Stone was wrapped in white fog, and the entrance couldn't be seen.
The royal swordsmen had to retreat and surround Salin and the others. The crystal in front of them was also a magic equipment, but in such a thick fog, it could only see about ten meters away. Even the range of a hand crossbow was about ten meters. It was dangerous to rush in.
"There's a strong person here. Our retreat has been cut off. It should be a maze type of magic." Salin quickly identified that there was no way out in the sky. Only by killing the person controlling this magic array could they completely break out of the fog.
It wasn't that there wasn't a stupid way. Killing all the warriors in the fog was possible. This magic array wouldn't last too long. It would dissipate naturally in half a day at most. Magic was different from magic. It wasn't maintained by magic cores. Instead, it was the power of the gods that was lent to humans. The duration of the borrowing was determined by the gods. Humans could only ask for a limit before activating the array.
