In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed, and the atmosphere in the encampment had finally calmed down. The dead couldn't be brought back to life, and those who were lucky enough to survive had to continue living. Only two people hadn't changed much. One was Han Jin, and the other was Julia.
Han Jin didn't like to talk anymore, and he rarely smiled. Other than when he was cultivating, he would always sit there quietly, and no one knew what he was thinking. Everyone saw it and felt anxious. Léger and Sassoux wanted to talk to Han Jin more than once, but they were all stopped by Guevara.
Guevara himself had a similar experience. In fact, setbacks weren't scary. Smart people could learn a lot from setbacks, so he didn't want anyone to disturb Han Jin.
On this day, Sunier finally persuaded Han Jin to go shopping with her. Guevara could watch over others, but he couldn't watch over Sunier. Sunier could accompany Han Jin all day, but he couldn't. The young couple was whispering to each other, so why did he have to come over and eavesdrop? He would suffer retribution!
Sunier wanted to take a look at the Guild of Mercenaries first before going shopping, but the carriage had already arrived near the Guild of Mercenaries. Suddenly, they heard fierce shouts and waves of magic and combat energy.
Han Jin was stunned. Sunier hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked outside. She smiled and said, "It should be the mercenaries from the guild catching spies."
"Spies?"
"Yes." Sunier replied, "The trouble caused by Cromwell, and Caroline and Betty sneaking into Isolated Cliff City has angered the Trade Union. Since seven or eight days ago, the Guild of Mercenaries has declared martial law in the city and is searching for spies sent by various lords. You didn't go out, so you didn't know. Winston and the others even went to help."
Just as they were talking, the shouts were getting closer. Han Jin frowned, lifted the curtain, and went out.
Saxon threw the horsewhip onto the shaft of the carriage and smiled at Han Jin. "My lord, I'll go help them."
Han Jin nodded slightly. Saxon jumped down from the carriage and walked a dozen steps along the street. He leaned against the wall and waited quietly.
Two fully armed warriors, an archer, and a female magician were hurriedly retreating. Behind them were dozens of mercenaries who were hot on their heels.
The female magician was very powerful. From time to time, she would turn around and cast fire walls and swamps. All of her spells were cast instantaneously. She did her best to slow down the pursuers. As for the archer, after running a few steps, he would turn around and shoot an arrow. The remaining two warriors hurriedly led the way. This city was full of mercenaries. It was too boring to be idle in the winter, and most mercenaries liked to meddle in other people's business. From time to time, there would be people jumping out to intercept them. However, the two warriors cooperated well and fought with no regard for their lives. They forced a bloody path out.
With just a glance, Han Jin had determined that the female magician should be an eighth-grade sage. The rest of them were between the sixth and seventh grade. However, the mercenaries from the Guild of Mercenaries didn't have any powerhouses to back them up. If it weren't for the 'official' backing, it wouldn't take long for the mercenaries to turn around and kill them all.
Saxon stood there motionless with his arms crossed. When the two warriors had already rushed past him, he suddenly attacked. He unsheathed his longsword in an instant and swept out a bright red flame towards the warrior on his left.
Sunier drew her longbow and shot an arrow at the archer. In a chaotic battle, the archer's first priority was to be the first to kill the enemy archer. The archer's defense was far inferior to that of a warrior or a magician, so it was easier to kill him. On the other hand, if she let the archer go, even if there was a difference of a few grades, the archer's arrow would still be enough to pose a threat to her.
The archer sensed the violent fluctuations of a fighting technique behind him and hurriedly turned around. Before he could see the situation clearly, an arrow had deeply penetrated his temple. The archer couldn't help but fall back, knocking the magician behind him.
Saxon's chosen opponent also had a fighting technique, but it was for this reason that Saxon chose him.
A bright red flame collided with a white fog. The fog was instantly dispersed, and the warrior let out a miserable cry as he retreated.
In a close combat battle between a warrior with a fighting technique, the collision between the Frozen Fighting Technique and the Dragon Flame Fighting Technique was the most dangerous. These two fighting techniques countered each other, and the one with the stronger fighting aura and the higher grade would instantly have the absolute advantage. There was no room for fancy moves. At that time, Cromwell also practiced the Frozen Fighting Technique, but he suffered a loss at the hands of Saxon because his grade wasn't as high as Saxon's.
Saxon let out a sinister laugh and pounced forward again. The warrior's frozen fighting technique was completely scattered, and in his panic, he had no time to dodge. All he could do was raise his longsword and try to block Saxon's sword.
With a bang, Saxon's longsword was blocked, but the bright red flame wasn't affected in the slightest. In an instant, it covered the upper body of the warrior.
The warrior threw away his longsword and covered his head with both hands. He fell to the ground and rolled on the ground, screaming more and more miserably. His upper body was almost burnt, but his fighting aura had blocked most of the damage. He didn't die immediately. If he had known this would happen, he would've given up on resisting.
The other warrior was shocked. From the corner of his eye, he saw Sunier drawing her longbow again. He hurriedly rushed to the side and used the battle axe in his hand to block his face.
Sunier smiled and slightly lowered her left hand. The arrow pierced through the back of the warrior's foot and nailed his right foot to the ground.
However, the warrior was rushing forward with all his might. He couldn't control his body at all. His right foot suddenly swung up, creating a mist of blood. Sunier's arrow was also forcibly torn in two by him.
Amidst his screams, the warrior took another step forward. However, his torn foot could no longer support his weight. The warrior's right leg went limp and he fell straight to the ground.
The last remaining magician saw that the situation wasn't good. A magic scroll appeared in her hand and her figure disappeared from the spot. She reappeared on a roof more than forty meters away and floated into the air.
Sunier drew her longbow, aimed at the back of the magician, and shot an arrow.
The arrow hit the magic shield released by the magician. Another arrow followed, and the magic shield trembled violently. The magician didn't dare to fly up again. He landed on the ground and continued to run forward.
"Hah, this is a big fish!" Saxon let out a hearty laugh and rushed forward. He then leaped into the air and landed on the top of the wall. Using the tip of his foot, he stomped on the top of the wall. The bricks on the top of the wall were smashed into smithereens and a crescent-shaped hole appeared in the wall. Saxon then used the momentum to leap forward twenty meters and landed in the alley, chasing after the magician in a straight line.
Han Jin and Sunier looked at each other and hurriedly followed behind.
The magician panicked and didn't know where to go. She bumped into a factory that covered an area of about six hundred meters. Many strong men were working hard to move sand and stones. Each of them had a shiny headband on their head, which was proof of their identity. They were slaves from Cold Shadow City.
Hogan and a middle-aged man were standing in the middle of the factory, discussing something in a low voice. The female magician screamed, "Master Julian, save me! Save me … "
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He took a few steps back and made way for the magician to escape. However, he didn't seem to have any intention of saving the magician.
"If you don't save me, you won't get better either!!" The female magician screamed again.
"Idiot! Bitch!! "The middle-aged man couldn't hold back anymore and cursed.
Although Hogan would rather be a slave than fight Han Jin, he wasn't an idiot. Seeing that Han Jin and the others were chasing after the female magician, who seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with his companions, he immediately cast a magic shield on himself and took a few steps back. He coldly looked at the middle-aged man.
At this moment, a rock came crashing down from the mound, heading straight for the female magician. The magician's reaction wasn't slow either. She raised her hand and released a large fireball, shattering the rock into pieces.
While the pieces were still flying in the air, another huge rock came crashing down from above. This one was several times bigger than the previous one, weighing at least a few hundred kilograms. It was also incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it passed through the debris and smashed into the magic shield.
With a bang, the magic shield was instantly shattered. The female magician screamed and retreated. The slaves who seemed to be petrified suddenly became violent and rushed from all directions with wooden sticks.
The female magician waved her hand and released another big fireball. The slave closest to her was hit. He was wearing a headband, so he couldn't use any martial arts. He couldn't resist the attack of the big fireball with just his body. His body was almost hit in two, and he flew back in a strange posture.
The tragic death of their companions didn't make the slaves cower. Their eyes were fiercer than the other, and they continued to rush forward.
With a sharp whistle, a palm-sized rock shot out and hit the female magician's nose. Blood splattered. Before she could scream, the slaves had already rushed over. A dozen wooden sticks all hit her legs. Without the protection of the magic shield, her body was even more vulnerable. She was knocked to the ground in an instant.
The slaves rushed forward. Two wooden sticks crossed the female magician's neck. Her magic staff was kicked to the side, and a wooden stick was stabbed into the female magician's mouth. Her limbs were tightly stepped on by large feet. She couldn't move, and couldn't even scream. The only thing she could do was to keep crying.
"Julian, give me an explanation!" Hogan said in a sinister voice.
The middle-aged man smiled and retreated. Suddenly, he turned into a black bat and flapped his wings rapidly to fly into the sky.
"Want to run?!" Hogan snorted. A giant arrow completely condensed from ice suddenly appeared in the air and shot directly at the bat.
With a flash of black light, Sunier hit the target first. The bat was deflected to the side, and Hogan's ice arrow only hit the bat's wings. However, the power was enough. The bat's wings were firmly locked by a block of ice, and its body fell rapidly.
Seeing that all the fugitives were under control, Saxon put away his long sword. His gaze swept over the slaves. "Not bad …" He wasn't surprised by the strength of the slaves, but by their cooperation. Their cooperation was too good!
