When Hessiana shouted, Hao Ren knew that he had guessed correctly. Hessiana was not captured by accident. Instead, she was captured by the humans for some reason. No matter what her purpose was, it was not wise to disrupt her plan. Hessiana's appearance in this place at this moment meant that she was here for the sleeping Vivian.
Before Hao Ren could stop her, Madam Marie and the wizards she led had already taken action. The plague bugs first disturbed the crowd and sealed off the square. Then, they used the Land of Decay to disperse the people around the Stake of Execution. After that, they attacked the Stake of Execution and the guards around it. Everything was going according to plan. The Letta runes buried all over the small square in advance also produced the desired effect at this moment, further magnifying the chaos. All kinds of small spells that had been preset in advance burst out at the same time, and the soldiers wearing simple exorcism amulets around the square had no time to resist and were knocked to the ground one after another.
Hao Ren knew that whatever Hessiana's plan was, it was all over. He had to carry on with the rescue plan. At least, he needed a chance to get in touch with Hessiana.
Hao Ren patted Lily on the head. "Let's go!"
Lily pulled off her hood, revealing her wolf ears and fangs. Amidst the chaos, she released her breath and raised her head to let out a melodious howl. "Awooo — Woof!"
The second half of the howl was drowned out by the screams of the crowd. The square was filled with cries of "Werewolf! There's a werewolf here! "" The devil is here! The devil is here! The witch has summoned the devil! "" Run for your life, run for your life! The werewolf and the witch are attacking! "" Go to the cathedral! Go to the cathedral! "
Lily casually threw a few passers-by in front of her because their legs had gone soft. She took another step forward, and the crowd around her dispersed. Ordinary people were far more afraid of werewolves than wizards. In the common sense of this era, wizards were at least half human, while werewolves were a completely brutal dark creature. Many folklore described werewolves as a kind of ogre. In the far-flung areas with strong superstition, these impressions were deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Seeing this, Hao Ren could only shake his head. "Superstition kills. Have you ever seen such a cute werewolf?
If this were to happen in the 21st century, how many perverts would willingly lie down and let a beautiful girl like Lily eat them …?
As he sighed, he strode to the execution ground.
The square was in a state of chaos. The area where the commoners gathered had been engulfed by the swarm of Pestilence and the Rotten Lands. Anyone who could still move their legs had fled, crying for their parents. On the other hand, the noble's platform was in a worse state because there was only a narrow flight of stairs. The ladies and gentlemen who were dressed in luxurious clothing had completely lost their poise. They screamed as if they had gone mad as they blocked the exit. Some had their wigs ripped off, some had their coats torn, and some even rolled down the stairs. Their heads were bleeding as they bumped into each other. Some even jumped off the platform and scrambled out of the place.
The only people who still maintained some order were the monk soldiers and the monks. They were specially trained to deal with supernatural forces. Even if they were not as good as professional exorcists, they more or less had the courage and skills to face the enemy head-on.
A few monk soldiers were holding silver-plated swords around the stake, while two monks were holding silver crosses in one hand and scriptures in the other. They mustered up all their courage and recited the scriptures aloud. In this era where supernatural powers had yet to completely leave the public's sight, human's shallow magic skills could still play a role. Shrouded in a layer of faint white barrier, they withstood the witch's first wave of attack with great difficulty.
However, after all, their will had been worn down by the days of peace and their bodies were hollowed out by pleasure. These guys did not have much actual combat experience. They could only rely on the holy exorcism relics that had been passed down from generation to generation to resist the witch's attacks. When the wizard Bain put a monster that reeked of burnt flesh on the ground, these guys soon completely collapsed.
Hao Ren strolled all the way to the stake. The guards' swords and knives slashed at his Steel Membrane Shield, but only a few sparks burst out. He knocked down the two burly guards with a few punches and two kicks, and then looked at Hessiana, who was on the stake, in the eye.
Hessiana stared at the uninvited guest in front of her. She was about to open her mouth to swear, but Hao Ren's words blocked all the words she wanted to say. "Don't scold me first. I know you deliberately got caught. We messed up your plan. But now there's no turning back. Come with us — for Vivian's sake."
Hessiana's expression instantly became very interesting. She lowered her voice and asked, "How do you know this name? Who are you? "
"It's too messy here to explain." Hao Ren reached out and broke the shackles inlaid with silver rings. "Anyway, I'm on your side, Little Bat."
When Hessiana heard the word 'Little Bat', she was shocked. She looked at Hao Ren as if she had seen a ghost. Many of the older otherworldlings knew about her relationship with Vivian, but not many people could say the word 'Little Bat'. When the man in front of her first mentioned Vivian, she was still suspicious. But now, she was only filled with horror and vigilance. Could this man in front of her be an elder from the Shelter of Shadows in disguise to take her home?
Hao Ren did not know what was going through Little Bat's mind. He just removed the shackles on Hessiana and then dragged her to Madam Marie. "She's free."
Madam Marie and the other witches were maintaining the blockade of the entire square. Seeing that Hao Ren had succeeded, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Very good. Let's get out of here now. The cathedral has reacted. Once the regular monks and monks arrive, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."
When dealing with the soldiers and monks in the square, Hao Ren had an illusion that humans in this period could not fight the supernatural forces at all. But when he heard Madam Marie's nervous words, he realized that humans never relied on individual bravery to win the challenge of supernatural forces. They were good at numbers and tactics.
Hao Ren was not afraid to fight a group of medieval soldiers, but it was not his original purpose of coming to this time and space. So when he heard Madam Marie's reminder, he immediately nodded and dragged Hessiana to the exit of the square.
They rushed out of the inner city and went straight in the direction of the west gate. As soon as they got out of the inner city gate, they ran into the city guards who had already assembled. In a panic, Lily pulled the entire gate down. She then turned the gate around and roared, "Starburst Slash" as she rushed towards the human soldiers who were hurriedly assembling their formation.
Along the way, Hessiana was muttering things like, "Where did these lunatics come from?", "When did I need you to save me?", "It took me so much effort to arrange this plan." She seemed to have finally noticed the existence of Lily (mainly because the werewolf girl carrying the gate was too eye-catching). The expression on her face became even more interesting. "There is a wild werewolf. I haven't been out for a few years. Has the outside world changed so much?"
The sight of a howling werewolf charging at them with a city gate in his hand almost caused the human soldiers to collapse to the ground. However, a commanding officer's loud scolding allowed them to barely regain their footing. The soldiers in the front row raised their sturdy iron shields, while the soldiers in the back row placed their spears on the notch at the top of the shields. In the formation of spears and shields, four iron pipes were propped up.
It was a matchlock.
"Steady! Steady! "
The human officer raised his sword and shouted. The flesh barricade formed by the infantry became tighter and more solid, waiting for the earth-shattering impact of the werewolf.
The matchlock was the first to let out a deafening roar.
After a few gunshots, a few drops of blood burst out from Lily's body. The werewolf girl grimaced in pain, but she still roared, "Werewolves are fearless!"
Then she threw the gate forward, turned around and ran towards a small path. "Only a retard would fight you head-on!"
Hao Ren and the others also turned around and ran into another small path. This was Plan B.
The city gate let out an ear-piercing screech in the air, and after smashing into the ground, it rolled up a cloud of smoke and dust. After the heavy door landed on the ground, it continued to charge forward, leaving a trail of sparks behind it. It was like a terrifying monster that could break bones and muscles. Even the most resolute of soldiers could not remain indifferent in the face of such a scene. The barricade of flesh and blood that had been incomparably sturdy a moment ago immediately shook and retreated. When the city gate finally stopped with a trail of sparks behind it, it was less than half a meter away from the nearest soldier.
Several soldiers in the front row suddenly collapsed.
The heroic commander did not know what had happened. He looked in the direction where the 'werewolf' had disappeared and muttered to himself, "Werewolves are fearless?"
There was a 'fearless' werewolf, a bomb man who was fully loaded with explosives and had a Steel Membrane Shield, a group of witches and a wizard who were almost unscathed. Such a powerful lineup could run amok in a remote city without a professional exorcist. Although they were blocked by a small group of patrols and monk soldiers, Hao Ren and his team successfully rushed out of the west gate and successfully met up with Helen, the witch who had been waiting outside the gate for a long time.
Hao Ren glanced at Hessiana, who was behind him. Sure enough, the little bat's face was as white as a sheet.
