The strange behavior of the nobles in the past few days began to spread among the commoners. The content was filled with all sorts of conjectures, wild guesses, and irresponsible rumors. Moreover, the content was constantly changing. The only thing that didn't change was that the unknown enemy was in Abadan.
The upper-class society was in a state of panic. It seemed to have nothing to do with the commoners, but the turmoil in Abadan's underground society also affected the lives of the commoners. The bosses of the local Association of Thieves had all disappeared, and it was more likely that they were all dead. No one was managing the empty territory, so naturally, there were ambitious ruffians fighting over it.
The fighting on the streets inevitably affected the people living on the streets. In the past few days, there had been several violent fights in Abadan. There were casualties, and even innocent people were involved.
It was in such an atmosphere that the people living in the city observed everything in fear every day. They were afraid that they wouldn't even know how to run when a disaster came.
Lin, Fen, and the others, who had been busy for most of the night, were still in bed catching up on sleep. As for the others, they continued to go out to scout for information or negotiate with the owners of the various workshops in search of a breach, just as they had planned for the past few days. However, the situation they faced was similar to the situation a few days ago.
When Lin woke up and finished his brunch, he instructed Kaya, who stayed in the hotel, to use the forum index to find Viscount Niya, who had been asked to deal with this incident as soon as possible. What would he do?
However, the forum wasn't a specialized intelligence gathering organization. It could only circulate among them. It belonged to the information that users used to connect with each other, piecing together the process and the truth of the matter. If there was no time to prepare, no relevant eyewitness information, or the idiotic self-description of the person involved, it was basically impossible to gather any information through the forum.
He looked at the real scene and the forum information that Kaya had compiled. Although there was a lot of information, there wasn't much that could be used to deal with the current situation.
"What's wrong? You look so tired," Fen asked.
Lin said lazily, "It's not something I like to do. It's a bit boring." Some people thought that "fighting with others was fun." However, her entire mind was focused on scheming against others. This made a certain someone, who was a shut-in to her bones, feel all kinds of discomfort from a physiological level.
Dissatisfied, Fen pouted and said, "I told you, there's a simpler solution. You don't have to be afraid of what will happen in the future. After all, you'll get used to it. "
"Once you get used to it, you'll become numb. I don't want to become like that. " He slammed his head against the table next to him and sprawled out on the table. He was vexed about how long he had to waste time with this group of nobles before there would be an end.
It felt like two people were competing to hold their breath underwater. Whoever couldn't hold it in first would lose. In that case, should he add more pressure and warn those high and mighty nobles?
Suddenly, a red pulsating warning message appeared at the corner of his vision. A certain person was still in a daze. The black-haired, brown-skinned girl who had always been calm and collected suddenly showed a rare display of impatience. She shouted, "Teacher, teacher, it's bad. Hallumi and the others are surrounded. "
He recalled the warning message. It was a quick distress signal made using the instant communication system. He omitted the part where he had to type in the text content. This was to prevent him from not having enough time to activate and type in a distress signal after being ambushed. This was a function that the two girls had added after the previous incident in the underground sewer.
For the wild girl to be able to call for help, the situation must be quite bad. Lin bounced up from the table and asked, "Location, situation?"
Because the entire Abadan City was under the surveillance of the Eyes of Arcana, as long as one of their own went out, the program would specially track and record them. Unless they walked into the anti-magic area, there was basically no chance of losing them. Therefore, Kaya quickly marked the wild girl's location on the real scene map before her eyes and displayed the situation there with a sub-image.
It was on a street somewhere in the city. For some reason, Hallumi and Uzov had met up with the goblin father and daughter. On both sides of the street where they were, an endless stream of soldiers walked out and surrounded the four of them.
Lin didn't say much. He waved his hand, and the Cassette Cutting flashed into his hand. In the next moment, he appeared on the street beside Hallumi and the others. Although he was a little slow, Fen also appeared and faced the soldiers on the other side.
On the side that Lin faced, at the end of the line, there was a knight riding on a warhorse. He was one of the targets that they had been paying special attention to in the past few days. Baili Niya, the captain of the tenth battalion of the tenth legion of the Guevana Empire. Beside him were two magnificent military pillars, indicating that the soldiers he brought out were the empire's regular army and not some unknown miscellaneous troops.
However, the sudden appearance of Lin and Fen didn't cause any commotion among the enemies. Only a man behind Baili Niya who wasn't wearing a standard military uniform shouted hysterically, "It's them! It's them! I said that I saw the blonde woman. There's no mistake in capturing her. The two who suddenly appeared, the woman's face also left a deep impression on me. And that man is the one who gave the evil sword to the second young master. Yes! Yes! It's the ordinary-looking longsword in his hand. It's the evil sword that slandered the second young master and the lord's family. "
Well, letting the others walk on the street was more or less to lure the snake out of its hole. But judging from the other party's words, why did they only pay attention to the woman's appearance? However, a certain someone didn't have time to complain. Lin Xiang had met many situations before, but he really didn't expect to meet with such a situation. He was just thinking about what kind of opening speech he should use to make this matter end when the person opposite him spoke first.
"Mage, it seems that the mistake of thinking that you were barbarians was just a laughable disguise. Are you ready to pay the price for your actions over the past few days? "Baili Niya said loudly.
"I don't want to start a meaningless massacre. If you value your life, then back off. Since you found me, I'll give you a chance to talk. "Lin shook his head helplessly. If he showed too much weakness in such an occasion, it would only ruin what he had built up earlier. But showing too much strength in front of the army wasn't part of his plan.
As expected, in the face of a certain someone's serious threat, the soldiers and officers of the first battalion, from top to bottom, didn't take it seriously. They just kept silent. Only the man who recognized Halloumi and the others laughed and said, "Hahahaha, what kind of joke is this? If you have such ability, why did you use such despicable means in the first place? You're a despicable person, Niya … "
Flash, behead, there was no need for more harsh words.
Holding the bloody head in front of him, Lin carried the Cassette Cutting and said, "I said, I don't want to start a meaningless massacre. Leave. "
Unfortunately, a mere head couldn't scare the warrior in front of him. The heavy-armored soldiers in the front row raised their shields and stepped forward in unison, making a deafening sound that was shocking. The middle row of spears was like a forest, and when they stepped on the ground, they were equally impressive.
The goblin father and daughter who were protected behind them had never seen such a scene before. They hugged each other and trembled. Uzov and Halloumi were considered to have seen big scenes, but they had never seen such a strong army. They couldn't help but tighten their grip on their weapons. Even a certain someone who looked at such a scene, although his expression didn't change, in his heart, he felt that there was no way to end this peacefully today.
Realizing that the people beside him had been killed, Byry Niya showed no fear. He drew his long sword and pointed at the enemy in front of him, saying, "Mage, do you think such a threat can make the Empire submit? Soldiers, raise your spears! "
On both sides, the frontmost row of soldiers formed a dense formation. Spears were also like hedgehogs, sticking out from the shield formation. The tip of the spear and the surface of the shield were polished until they shone brightly, gorgeous and deadly.
Byry Niya, who had put on his helmet, issued an ultimatum and shouted, "Mage, throw down your weapons and surrender. Otherwise, die. You don't have a third option. "
Hearing this, Lin Yi was so angry that he trembled. Was this the way to negotiate? Without even talking, he cut off the other party's escape route! Even though he had brought out the army, it seemed that he had no intention of talking.
The Guevana Empire's regular army that was flanking them had no intention of stopping, just as a certain someone had guessed. Byry Niya didn't wait for a reply from the mage in front of him. He took his silence as a sign of resistance and put down his mask. At the same time, all the magic that was added to the Empire's special military officer's armor was activated, raising its defense to the highest level.
Byry Niya raised his right hand and shouted to the left and right, "Soldiers, raise your bows."
At this moment, Lin Yi noticed that the last row of the army was actually an archer. The front row was heavy armor and the back row was an archer. They were ready to kill from the start!
"Set … …"
Byry's order wasn't completed. The person he had been guarding against suddenly appeared in front of him. This was the opponent's strategy that he had noticed when the servant who had led him here was killed.
The enemy mage was right-handed, so the attack from the front came from the left. Because the horse was in front, the angle and direction of the enemy's attack was limited.
He held the mithril sword in his hand diagonally to his left to block and was prepared to counterattack after the impact. The Potency Spell that most mages cast on themselves was unable to break through their own specially crafted armor. As long as he didn't lose his balance immediately, he had several moves to counterattack the enemy and solve this problem in one go.
But why didn't his sword feel like it was blocking any weapon? Why did the world turn red? He was still riding steadily on the warhorse. Why did the height of his vision become lower and slanted? He wanted to give the order to continue the attack, but why couldn't he make a sound?
The world seemed to be spinning. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of the army. However, he couldn't continue to think. Byry Niya seemed to have understood something, and his thoughts were forever stuck in the previous moment.
Grabbing the tassels of his helmet, Lin tried to shout, "Your commander has … …"
"Archer squad, listen to my order. Set the arrows! "" Heavy armor squad, listen to my order. Shield up! "" Archer squad, listen to my order. … … "" Heavy armor squad … … "" Soldiers … … "
The death of the commander did not slow down the pace of the army. There were low-level officers taking over the command everywhere, and they were not preparing for a retreat. The low-level officers gave different orders, but they all said in unison, "Crusade against the thieves of the Empire! For the glory of the Empire! "
"Release!" "Advance!" … … The order to attack sounded everywhere!
