Smoke rose from all directions within the Boozt Merchant Guild. Ashburn's subordinates charged in and killed anyone they saw. The guards within the Guild simply didn't have any leeway to retaliate and were instantly killed or injured in large numbers.
Phoebe, who had been scared out of her wits by Han Shuo's words, raised the divine weapon "Starry Sky" and led the guards within the Guild to defend with all their might. However, the situation was clearly far from good.
The soldiers attacking the Boozt Merchant Guild this time also included a few experts who had attached themselves to Charles. Among them was a Temple Knight from the Church of Light who wielded a silver spear as if he was invincible. Every time his spear descended, a guard would definitely die.
There were also a few mages who continuously released magic, causing the buildings within the Boozt Merchant Guild to catch fire. Some of the rations and goods stored inside were burning amidst the raging flames. Some servants walked out of their rooms covered in flames, but a rain of arrows whizzed over, piercing through those innocent servants.
In an extremely short period of time, the Boozt Merchant Guild fell under the unyielding attack. Only Phoebe and a group of loyal guards were left, hastily retreating towards the back door. During this process, the guards by Phoebe's side were killed one after another.
"Miss Phoebe, you won't be able to escape today!" Space archmage Aubrey looked at Phoebe with a sinister smile as he spoke unhurriedly.
Last time within the Boozt Merchant Guild, it was space archmage Aubrey and Cameron who had come to force Phoebe. Unfortunately, they just so happened to run into Han Shuo. In the end, Aubrey and Cameron were respectively poisoned by ice and fire by Han Shuo, suffering in an abyss of suffering for the next few days.
Aubrey naturally understood that everything was caused by Han Shuo. However, he understood that Han Shuo wasn't someone he could provoke. He could only swallow his bitterness and harbor thoughts of revenge in his heart.
Today, he had come to the Boozt Merchant Guild again. Aubrey had the Temple Knights of the Church of Light by his side, as well as even more magic experts. He had complete confidence in accomplishing what he couldn't accomplish the last time, which was to capture Phoebe to threaten sacred swordmaster Karel, making Karel not dare to act blindly without thinking.
Behind Aubrey, there was a team of 100 soldiers, as well as the Temple Knight with the olive branch pattern on his chest. Phoebe, who was running away, only had 30 guards. Even though Phoebe was a great swordsman, she had no chance of winning.
While Aubrey was speaking, a "Spatial Laceration" spell had already been released. A bright, sharp blade streaked past, and several large pieces of the bodyguards beside Phoebe suddenly disappeared. Parts of their bodies had been taken away by the Spatial Laceration spell, falling into another space.
"Bang!" Phoebe, who'd been retreating, suddenly felt as if her back had collided with an invisible wall. Her entire body was bounced forward a few steps.
"Aubrey, you still dare come to my Boozt Merchant Guild? Are you crazy? There are so many servants and guards, and you actually dare to kill without asking anything? " Phoebe clearly didn't know of the news of King Uhtred's death. Just like Han Shuo, her heart was filled with incomparable shock. She didn't expect Ashburn to be so audacious.
"Haha, we aren't crazy. After tonight, Ossen City and the Lancelot Empire will belong to His Highness Charles. Tonight, any hostile forces will be eliminated." Aubrey laughed savagely.
"Don't talk nonsense. Capture this woman as soon as possible. We still have other matters to attend to." The Temple Knight of the Church of Light suddenly spoke.
Hearing the Temple Knight's words, Aubrey awkwardly stopped laughing. He nodded and said, "Lord Crespo, this woman is a great swordsman. We still need to work together in order to capture her alive."
"Let's do it!" The Temple Knight called Crespo didn't say any more superfluous words. He raised the silver spear in his hand and walked towards Phoebe.
The silver spear was extended, and milky white rays of light shot out from the spear's tip. A divine aura slowly overflowed from Crespo's body. His shining silver armor suddenly emitted rays of light, causing Crespo's aura to soar.
Phoebe was startled. Before Crespo could approach, she took a step back and brandished the divine weapon "Starry Sky". A huge cross suddenly shot out and arrived in front of Crespo in an instant.
Crespo lightly snorted and raised his spear, meeting the huge cross. The cross suddenly soared into the sky and chopped a tree that was as thick as a bowl into two.
"You are just a newly advanced great swordsman. You should just surrender." Crespo said coldly. His body turned into a series of afterimages due to his high speed. The silver spear in his hand suddenly turned into several hundred spears and pierced towards Phoebe.
A circle of starlight fiercely shot out from the divine weapon 'Starry Sky'. The specks of starlight spread out and formed a cross. It suddenly exploded with a frightening impact force. Several hundred illusory silver spears suddenly exploded into the air, and the explosive force spread out. Crespo let out a muffled groan and hastily retreated a few steps.
"Good, very good. You can actually borrow the power of the divine weapon and fuse it with Karel's Cross Slash. No wonder that old thing Karel values you so much!" Crespo said with a cold expression as he retreated a few steps. The shoulders of his silver armor had seven to eight small holes as he spoke.
"I didn't expect that the Temple Knights of the Church of Light would actually become the first prince's lackeys. Is this something a religious organization like you that transcends authority should do?" Phoebe similarly ridiculed with a face full of disdain.
"Miss, let's leave quickly. We will stay behind to cover the rear." The Boozt Merchant Guild's guard captain impatiently pleaded with Phoebe.
Shaking her head, Phoebe helplessly said, "We can't leave!"
There weren't any powerful mages on Phoebe's side. When faced with this group of warhorses, mages, and archers working together, fleeing wasn't a wise choice, because mages who could fly were far faster than them.
"Aubrey, call your men to attack together. After capturing this woman, we still have other matters to attend to. Don't waste too much time." Crespo shot a glance at Aubrey and said coldly with a frown.
Nodding his head, Aubrey agreed, "Alright, let's attack together."
After Aubrey nodded his head, Crespo once again raised his spear and walked towards Phoebe. He spun his silver spear and a bright silver light suddenly shot out. At the same time, Aubrey started chanting an incantation. A space magic binding caused the surrounding space to fluctuate and shackled Phoebe at the center.
The mages beside Aubrey all chanted incantations and various magic barriers fell towards Phoebe. A few archers from further away also arrived and drew their bows, aiming at Phoebe.
"Bang …"
Phoebe blocked Crespo's silver light with her sword. She suddenly felt a powerful attack and couldn't help but take two steps back. It was these two steps that instantly pulled Phoebe into the space binding. Suddenly, all kinds of formless energy surged over. Phoebe felt as if she was being bound by a myriad of ropes, unable to move.
"Take her away. With this Phoebe here, that old bastard Karel will definitely know his place!" Aubrey laughed complacently and instructed the knights behind him.
"Heh heh, this woman is really beautiful. Tsk tsk, her skin is too smooth. I have never seen a woman with such soft and supple skin." A knight came over with a lecherous smile. When he used the rope to bind Phoebe, he tried to touch Phoebe's face.
When Phoebe, who couldn't move her hands or speak, saw a coarse hand heading towards her face, her bright eyes filled with intense alarm and anger. Uncontrollably, Phoebe thought of Han Shuo at her weakest moment. How good would it be if this scoundrel could come and save me. As long as you appear, I might forgive you. I don't want anyone other than you to touch me …
When a woman was frightened and helpless, the first person she would think of would be her man. Phoebe was no exception. Seeing the knight's large hand about to touch her face, Phoebe lost her head out of fear and strongly called out to Han Shuo in her heart.
"Whoosh!"
Just when the coarse hand was about to land on Phoebe's face, a strange sound suddenly rang out. Shortly after, that knight suddenly howled crazily. That coarse hand was chopped off at the wrist, dripping with blood as it fell at Phoebe's feet.
"Who is it?!" Crespo suddenly shouted, vigilantly looking all around. The silver pike in his hand was constantly swallowing and spitting out silver rays.
"Whoosh!"
In the moonless night, a wisp of black lightning flashed. That knight with his wrist chopped off once again howled miserably. Everyone looked over and discovered that the knight's other hand, which was covering his broken wrist, had also been chopped off.
"Capture Phoebe, hurry up!" Aubrey suddenly reacted and hastily instructed those stunned knights.
After being stunned for a moment, those people immediately took action. They held thick ropes in their hands, planning to first tie up Phoebe.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
That wisp of black light repeatedly appeared, like a black thread weaving the curtain of the night. The extended hands of the knights who tried to approach Phoebe were chopped off one after another. In the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint, there was actually a pile of broken hands at Phoebe's feet.
Although Phoebe was confined by magic and could not budge, her eyes did not miss anything that happened around her. Her heart was suddenly filled with intense joy. Without even thinking, Phoebe knew that Han Shuo had arrived. This time, when the panic was dispelled, Phoebe instantly forgot about all the bad things about Han Shuo. She only remembered that Han Shuo had helped her time and time again.
"Brian … Damn it, why did he only come now …" Phoebe called out in her heart, her eyes overflowing with happiness and serenity. She was no longer worried about the dangers around her, as if with the existence of that wisp of black light, there would be no danger that could threaten her.
"Come out, you cowardly sneak attacker!" Crespo suddenly shouted and quickly rushed toward Phoebe.
"That person, that person is coming!" Aubrey was suddenly gobsmacked and reacted, shrieking at Crespo.
Crespo's body froze midway, but he immediately reacted and shouted, "Impossible, that guy can't even protect himself. He shouldn't have appeared here so quickly!"
"Who said so?" A gloomy and cold voice suddenly came from afar. When the voice faded, a figure was already standing by Phoebe's side.
Han Shuo shot a glance at Crespo, his left hand lightly pressing on Phoebe's back. A ferocious force suddenly erupted, and a series of crackling sounds rang out around Phoebe. Several barriers and Aubrey's imprisonment were suddenly torn apart and destroyed.
Phoebe, who was originally imprisoned and unable to budge, suddenly felt that her whole body could move. Before Han Shuo had arrived, Phoebe had constantly called out in her heart, thinking that if Han Shuo rescued her again, she would forgive Han Shuo's fickleness. However, when Han Shuo truly appeared in front of her, Phoebe was still brooding over the previous matter and felt that she couldn't easily forgive Han Shuo. Thus, she snorted lightly and didn't say anything.
"Heh heh, you dare touch my woman? You're courting death!" After Han Shuo released the imprisonment on Phoebe's body with one strike, he viciously looked at the people in front of him and sneered.
"Pah! Who's your woman? You fickleness scoundrel! " Phoebe was both embarrassed and happy. She couldn't help but glare hatefully at Han Shuo, panting with rage as she said, "I still haven't forgiven you for that matter. Don't talk nonsense with me!"
"Of course it's Miss Phoebe, you're my woman. If you weren't my woman, why would I run all the way from the northern part of the city to save you!" Han Shuo grinned and said to Phoebe.
"It's really you. How is this possible? How did you escape from Lord Kosse's hands?" Crespo's expression changed as he looked at Han Shuo in shock.
"Kosse? Ha, in the previous battles, it seemed like that guy was always running away, right? " Han Shuo was calm and unruffled in the midst of chaos as he spoke to Crespo. As he spoke, Han Shuo had already taken out the skeletal staff, his expression gradually turning cold.
"It's different this time. Apart from Lord Kosse, there's also Lord Brown. How did you escape?" Crespo was greatly puzzled and retreated with some fear.
In the Church of Light, Han Shuo's infamy was extremely great. After Red Archbishop Kosse repeatedly failed at his hands, Han Shuo's strength was gradually recognized by the people of the Church of Light. Crespo could be considered to be self-aware and knew that he wasn't Han Shuo's match with his strength. Thus, he had thoughts of retreating in his heart.
"All of you, don't even think of leaving alive!" Han Shuo declared their fates as the skeletal staff began to summon undead creatures.
Red Archbishop Kosse who wielded the divine weapon "Revelation" wasn't here, and there wasn't a light mage here who could quickly purify the undead creatures. Han Shuo had absolute confidence that he could quickly kill them.
