"What, what are you doing?" Candice's face turned pale with fright as she suddenly stood up. On the other side, Phoebe seemed to have been about to undress and get ready for bed. She also jumped in fright when she saw Han Shuo rush over and hastily pulled up her clothes, looking at Han Shuo with a face full of panic.
"Grover's men and 'Shadow Ghost's men have arrived together. Don't waste words and think of a way to deal with them!" Han Shuo's face was dark as he growled lowly at the two frantic women.
Candice still had some doubts when these words left her mouth and was about to express her confusion when Phoebe's face turned grave as she yelled, "Candice, listen to him. Brian wouldn't make a mistake!"
Candice didn't believe Han Shuo, but she did believe Phoebe. When she heard Phoebe's words, she immediately drew the broadsword from her back and nodded at Phoebe. Like a ball of fire, she suddenly rushed out. Candice's low voice of warning immediately sounded from outside the room.
Phoebe didn't waste words either as she casually grabbed a robe from the side of the bed and put it on. Her space ring suddenly flashed and a longsword flashing with cold light appeared in Phoebe's hand.
Nodding at Phoebe, Han Shuo quickly made his way outside the room and saw Candice standing outside, giving instructions in a low voice.
Relying on the vision of the original demons, Han Shuo closed his eyes and suddenly opened his mouth, "Three people are approaching a hundred meters to the left. Two warriors and a mage. The mage is the wind adept mage Ellis. There's an archmage leading four warriors and an archer in front of them. They're a hundred and thirty meters away from here and are moving stealthily from the rooftops. They should be 'Shadow Ghost's' men. There's a few people hiding in an alley fifty meters to the right, and they seem to be setting up a trap … "
Han Shuo closed his eyes and continuously described the positions of the swiftly approaching people in detail, as if he was personally in the midst of the battle. Candice didn't quite believe it at first. She wouldn't believe it even if she were beaten to death that he could so clearly detect human movements from so far away. However, as soon as Phoebe walked out of the room, she immediately followed Han Shuo's description and asked Candice to arrange for people to defend.
"Miss Phoebe, I hope you are prepared to retreat this time. Based on my estimation, I think that even with you as a swordsman, we might not be their match. If the situation is not good, I hope you will not stay here. But no matter how dangerous it is, don't retreat to the right, that's a dead end! "Han Shuo suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Phoebe as he spoke solemnly.
"Thank you, Bryan. I know what to do. You have to be careful too!" Phoebe trusted Han Shuo quite a bit. When she saw Han Shuo warn her so solemnly, she immediately understood that this time would be extremely dangerous. She immediately nodded solemnly to express her understanding.
Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo took out the Demonslayer Edge and held it in his hand. He inspected the dagger hidden on his body and the steel needle in his leg. He then held the crossbow in his left hand and leapt onto a large tree nearby. The shadows of the house perfectly concealed Han Shuo's body. Han Shuo stared at the left side with a solemn and calm expression, not moving an inch.
"They're here indeed. Everyone, spread out carefully!" As a swordsman, Phoebe finally heard the footsteps and rejoiced at her trust in Han Shuo. She cast a meaningful glance at Candice beside her.
It was only now that Candice looked in shock at Han Shuo who was hidden in the darkness. She never would've thought that Han Shuo would be so amazing. Not only could he detect people's movements from a distance of a hundred meters, but it was as if he had a pair of eyes in the sky and could clearly detect the enemy's movements.
Candice was a seasoned mercenary after all. After a brief moment of shock, she glanced at Phoebe and the two leapt up at the same time, hiding on either side of Han Shuo and also hiding in the shadows.
"Bu … Brian, can you slowly inform me of the enemy's movements so that I can tell the people below to be careful." Candice was a meter away from Han Shuo and said softly.
Maintaining this posture, even his expression didn't change. Han Shuo's voice was low as he faintly described the enemy's movements in detail. Candice held a magical tool in her hand and used it to give instructions to the mercenaries lying in ambush in other directions in the yard.
The three people on Grover's side, led by Ellis, were the first to arrive. They stopped on a rooftop to the side. Han Shuo and the others didn't make a move until the archmage hovering in the air appeared in front of the front door with a few "Shadow Ghost" experts. Only then did they hold their breaths and prepare to act at a moment's notice.
The archmage didn't see how he moved. All that could be seen was that he, completely shrouded in a black robe, used an almost inaudible voice to chant a few incantations. Strong magical pulses suddenly emanated from the surroundings of Phoebe's residence, and then all the rooms began to shake violently as if a great earthquake had occurred.
At the same time, the four warriors behind him quickly spread out. An archer retreated to the roof of a nearby building and surveyed the surroundings from above. Ellis saw the earth shake violently like a giant beast awakening and nodded to the two warriors in front of him. The two of them leapt down and landed in the yard below.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Five arrows suddenly revealed themselves in the darkness. They were like five ruthless poisonous snakes lurking in the depths of a deep pond, quickly biting towards the two warriors who had just landed. The two had been hiding their tracks all along, but hadn't expected to be attacked so fiercely as soon as they landed. Their hearts jumped in fright and they hastily swung their swords to defend themselves.
Three of the arrows were cut in half and one was dodged by the two. Only the arrow shot by Phoebe nailed into the calf of one of the warriors. When the two had landed, they'd already triggered the boundary that had been set up there. Three bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky. Under the illumination of the lightning, Han Shuo could clearly see that there were iron wires as thin as hair. These iron wires were entangled with each other, and when the two landed, their ankles just happened to be entangled by these iron wires.
With the help of the iron wire, the electricity spread out in an instant, forming a bright and beautiful silver net of electricity in that area. The two of them spasmed, their mouths letting out mournful howls of pain. The uninjured person was shocked by the electricity and nimbly swung his sword to cut through the iron wires. The other warrior, who had been shot in the calf, foamed at the mouth, and his hair was charred as he slowly fell into the electric net.
"Not good, there's an ambush!" Ellis, who'd been planning to follow them down, suddenly shouted loudly when he saw the two warriors fall, warning the assassins of "Shadow Ghost" who were attacking from the front.
"Crack, crack." The front door split apart and four black clad warriors rushed in with swords in hand. They patrolled the courtyard in two directions. The archmage floated into the courtyard, the staff in his left hand wrapped in a long black sleeve. As he waved it, the surrounding rooms collapsed one after another with a violent earthquake.
Two of the Battlefire mercenary band members who'd been hiding in the surrounding rooms were directly crushed to death by the collapsing houses. The other three had no choice but to rush out as well, all of them holding weapons in the courtyard. However, Han Shuo took a look and discovered that there was only a senior swordsman, a lightning journeyman mage, and an archer left.
The archmage waved the staff in his hand and an enormous magical pulse appeared once again. Three earth dragons that looked like icicles suddenly broke out of the ground and stabbed towards the three Battlefire mercenary band members that had appeared. The senior swordsman and journeyman mage dodged in time and nimbly dodged to the side before disaster befell them. The archer had raised his bow and focused his attention on the archmage, but didn't have the time to fire before the earth dragon suddenly rose from the soles of his feet and rammed into his chest. The enormous force caused him to die on the spot.
Han Shuo, who was calmly controlling his breathing, could clearly feel Phoebe and Candice's breathing grow heavier at the same time. It looked like because of this person's death, the composure they'd been maintaining had completely vanished.
Phoebe and Candice shot their crossbow bolts at the same time, flying towards the earth archmage who'd released the earth dragons. The two's crossbow bolts had a powerful momentum, but the archmage waved his left hand and a wall suddenly rose from the ground. The two's crossbow bolts hit the wall and didn't cause any damage to the killer.
"In the shadow of the tree!" Ellis didn't hide his voice again and suddenly spoke in his original voice. The whistling of wind blades sounded along with his voice.
Phoebe and Candice immediately jumped out from Han Shuo's side when they heard the sound of the wind blades. Phoebe wielded a longsword that shone with dazzling light as she charged towards the archmage with the fastest speed possible. Candice's broadsword rose into the sky with tongues of flame, making Candice look like a fire elf in the darkness as she quickly closed in on Ellis.
Han Shuo held his crossbow and didn't move as he hid in the shadow of the tree. He didn't even make a move to block the oncoming wind blades. A few wind blades sliced through tree branches, and two of them landed on Han Shuo's waist. However, Han Shuo grit his teeth and held on. He didn't move at all, and even his breathing and heartbeat were maintained at an astonishingly steady level.
Phoebe and Candice's flight from the tree had thoroughly ignited the flames of battle. Because the earth archmage had caused the entire house to collapse with a large earthquake, many of the traps set up by the Battlefire mercenary band had been rendered ineffective. Phoebe knew very well how frightening an archmage was, so she set her sights on the archmage and immediately attacked with all her might.
When Phoebe moved, two of the senior swordsmen from "Shadow Ghost" immediately joined up with the archmage. They faced Phoebe with a combination of two fighters and one mage. In the distance, an archer from "Shadow Ghost", along with two other swordsmen and Ellis, started attacking the people from the Battlefire mercenary band.
Candice, wielding her broadsword, created a tongue of flame with every swing. The broadsword blossomed with an eye-catching light in the dark night, forcing the wind mage Ellis to continuously retreat.
Ellis, borrowing the power of the wind, was nimble. As he rapidly retreated, he sent tornadoes of wind blades towards Candice. When a journeyman swordsman from "Shadow Ghost" arrived in front of Ellis and joined forces with him to deal with Candice, the originally awe-inspiring Candice suddenly seemed a bit strained.
At this moment, whether it was Phoebe's side, Ellis, or the people from "Shadow Ghost", they were all exposed in the damaged yard. Han Shuo was the only one present, still hidden in the darkness. He endured the two wind blades and waited for the most opportune moment to attack.
Similarly at a disadvantage, Phoebe and Candice saw that Han Shuo had yet to make an appearance, and couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation in their dejected hearts. The two girls were both intelligent and had already guessed what Han Shuo was planning by hiding there at the risk of being injured. They both understood tacitly and led their opponents towards the direction of the large tree.
After a while, Phoebe and Candice, who were struggling to fight their enemies, gathered under the tree where Han Shuo was hiding. They were blocked off by the archmage, Ellis, and the others.
"Beautiful Miss Phoebe, after a few battles, I greatly admire your strength. But this time, you won't have any more chances. I'm very sorry! " Ellis laughed softly. As soon as he finished speaking, the wind howled in the air in front of him, forming a violent tornado. The broken trees and rocks in the surroundings were all blown into the air by the tornado and swept towards Phoebe and Candice.
The archmage didn't make a sound and raised his left hand. Four tall earthen walls rose from the ground, completely trapping Phoebe and Candice like a cage.
The longsword in Phoebe's hand rippled with a ball of piercing milky white light. The light formed the shape of a cross and blasted through a wall of earth, leaping out together with Candice. At this moment, the swordsmen who had been waiting on the side immediately made their moves to deal with Phoebe and Candice. Ellis had a sinister smile on his face as he gathered his mental strength and slowly manipulated the tornado to engulf the two.
At this moment, a crossbow bolt pierced through the air and suddenly shot towards the earth archmage who was completely shrouded in a black robe. The archmage leaned to the side and a swordsman next to him blocked the bolt with a wave of his hand. At this moment, a bone spear appeared out of thin air and also shot towards the archmage with a sharp whistle.
The archmage seemed to be a bit impatient as he opened his left hand slightly and earth element magic gathered. A stone slab flew out of the ground and smashed the bone spear flying towards him.
The archmage had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to search for the enemy hiding in the shadows when a ghastly howl suddenly sounded. Ellis clutched his chest not far away and raised his head to look at the large tree above his head in terror. A sharp weapon drilled out like a poisonous dragon and whistled out of his chest.
Pfft!
An arrow of blood uncontrollably spurted out from the bloody hole in Ellis' chest. Ellis' head faced the sky as his knees suddenly gave way and he knelt on the ground. He then paused and his body fell backwards.
