The road ahead had been sealed off, and the shops on both sides of the street were not doing well. A few soldiers were standing guard there, checking the pedestrians one by one. It would be strange if the shops were doing well with such strict checks.
Han Jin and the others stood in the shadows of the street corner, looking at the road from afar. After passing through the checkpoint set up by the soldiers, they would reach the city gate a few hundred meters ahead. The west side of the city had four gates, but the north gate was the least guarded. The other gates were guarded by high-grade Warriors, Knights, and even Magicians. Going through there would be suicide.
"Rush through?" Morrisons asked. If it were just a few soldiers, Morrisons wouldn't even need to use his sword to kill them all.
"Wait a little longer." Han Jin shook his head and whispered, "Don't you think it's strange? Why are the other gates so tight, but there's no one here? I feel like … this is a trap! "
"I also know that the situation here is very strange, but do we have any other choice?" Sunier smiled bitterly, "If we go through here, we still have a little hope. If we go anywhere else, we won't be able to get out!"
"How about … we go back and wait?" Sassoux interrupted.
"No!" Han Jin said, "I have a bad feeling about the west side of the city … we can't stay here any longer. We have to leave as soon as possible!"
"Feeling?" Léger was stunned. He felt that this reason was a bit ridiculous, but he thought that Han Jin was his savior, so under normal circumstances, he wouldn't oppose Han Jin's opinion, unless he felt that Han Jin was leading them to a dead end.
"Raphael is a prophet. We have to listen to him." Sunier said indifferently.
"Then what else is there to say?" Morrisons said, "First, we can't go back. Second, we have to leave the city. Then we have to charge!"
"We still have to wait." Han Jin shook his head, "I think … there should be people more anxious than us."
"You mean those dark elves?" Sunier suddenly reacted.
"Didn't Michel find out? Two nights ago, those dark elves tried to break out of the city. For them to be in such a hurry … there must be a reason. "
Just as they were talking, a nearby bar opened. Everyone didn't care if it was the time to drink. After some discussion, they walked towards the bar. It was a bit conspicuous standing on the street.
The barmaids were very surprised. It was rare to see people come here to drink in the middle of the day, and there were so many of them. However, there was no reason to push the business away. Several barmaids enthusiastically cleared out a few tables for Han Jin and the others to sit down.
After ordering some ale, everyone took sips of it while patiently observing the situation outside through the window. Time passed bit by bit, and it was already afternoon. After a few rounds of ale, several familiar figures finally appeared on the opposite side of the street.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Han Jin. They didn't expect his words to come true.
Han Jin shrugged. "You don't have to look at me like that. I was just guessing."
Those dark elves also saw the people in the bar, but none of them moved. They just silently looked at each other across the street.
After a long time, a person walked out from the shadows. He was still dressed in black, and his face was still as pale. However, compared to before, his entire body was filled with exhaustion.
It was that dark elf, Hazel.
Hazel smiled and walked across the street into the bar. He ignored the barmaids who came to greet him and directly sat at the table where Han Jin and the others were sitting. He looked at Sunier and asked, "Why are you here?"
Sunier's eyes flashed with hatred, but she turned her head away.
"We're not friends anymore, right?" Hazel's eyes were always on Sunier.
"Were we friends?" Sunier sneered.
Seeing Sunier's reaction, Hazel sighed. Just as he was about to say something, Han Jin's voice sounded.
"At least, we're not enemies." Han Jin raised his glass and said with a smile. To be honest, Han Jin's impression of these dark elves was neither good nor bad. At least, he didn't have any ill feelings or hatred. This was because the dark elves didn't attack them with the Vampires last time.
Hazel looked at Han Jin and nodded with a smile. "That's right. No matter what, at least here, we're not enemies, and we shouldn't be enemies. Also … I saw your wanted poster, hehe …"
Léger reached out and flicked a glass full of ale over. The ale inside shook violently, but it didn't spill out.
"Thanks." Hazel grabbed the glass and asked softly, "Have you been waiting here for a long time?"
"Yes." Han Jin nodded.
Hazel stared at Han Jin for a while and suddenly smiled. "You're waiting for us to take the lead, right?"
"You're mistaken." A warm smile appeared on Han Jin's face. "As you know, we have some non-combat members here, so we have to be careful."
"Is that so?" Hazel's smile deepened. "Then how long do you want to wait?"
"If there's a chance, we'll charge in. If not, we'll go back." Han Jin said slowly. "This kind of thing can't be rushed."
"I understand." Hazel nodded. "What if … I can create an opportunity for you?"
"What do you mean?" Han Jin was stunned.
"It's very simple. We'll charge in front, but you'll have to take care of our backs."
Han Jin couldn't help but look at Hazel in surprise. He tried to find a trace of a joke on his face, but all he saw was exhaustion.
"Don't worry. No matter what, we won't attack you in this kind of situation." It was actually Sunier who spoke. Perhaps she was the only one here who understood Hazel.
"Deal." Hazel smiled and extended his hand.
Sunier turned her head to the side and ignored Hazel. Han Jin had no choice but to extend his hand and give Hazel a high five.
Hazel didn't say anything else. He strode out of the bar and walked straight to the sentry post. The dark elves across the street hurriedly followed behind.
"This elf … is very bold!" Léger said in a low voice.
"Ha …" Sunier smiled faintly. "You'll soon see her bolder side."
"Didn't she notice that something was wrong?" Sassoux asked in surprise.
"She knows, so … Léger is right. She's very bold." Han Jin casually threw two gold coins on the table and walked towards the door.
The soldiers at the sentry post had already seen Hazel's group. They were here to capture the dark elves and the wanted criminals. Hazel's group's attire was too conspicuous. The soldiers immediately became alert and shouted, "Stop! All of you, stop! "
Hazel didn't stop. He raised his hand and shot an arrow. One of the soldiers flew backwards and crashed into a wooden fence before falling to the ground.
The sound of bowstrings rang out. The remaining soldiers at the sentry post fell to the ground at almost the same time. The passersby were immediately thrown into chaos.
Coincidentally, there were seven dark elves on Hazel's side. There were also seven soldiers at the sentry post in charge of checking the passersby. A single volley of arrows was enough to take down all the soldiers. This proved that the team led by Hazel had very strong coordination. No matter where the enemy stood, they knew who their target was and wouldn't make the mistake of repeatedly killing the same person.
The dark elves sped up at the same time. They passed through the sentry post and rushed towards the city gate.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang. The two doors of a shop on the left side of the street flew out and smashed towards Hazel's group. Of course, this kind of attack was unable to harm the dark elves. Hazel and the others dodged in a flash and raised their hands to release another arrow. A warrior in heavy armor had just jumped out of the door when he fell to the ground with his back facing the sky.
Door after door was knocked open. Countless warriors rushed out, shouting as they closed in on Hazel. There were even a few high-grade swordsmen and Knight among them.
The movements of the dark elves suddenly changed. They became graceful and varied. It didn't seem like they were fighting, but more like they were dancing. Their movements were light and graceful, but the arrows they shot were incomparably fierce. Every time they paused, a few warriors in front of them would fall and crash into the formation behind them. No matter how sturdy the heavy armor worn by the warriors was, it was like paper under the dark elves' arrows. Every time the arrows hit, they would die.
The dark elves actually used the longbows in their hands to draw an invisible line between life and death in the face of the charging warriors. Those who crossed the line would die without a doubt!
A magician had just poked his head out from the roof when Hazel and the others neatly turned around as if they had been waiting for a long time. Seven powerful arrows shot out. The magician didn't even have time to cast a spell before his magic shield crumbled. He screamed and disappeared from the roof.
From the start of the battle until now, the dark elves had been the ones pressing forward. They would take two small steps forward with every arrow they shot. The warriors on the other side were already in a mess. They were either knocked down by arrows or knocked down by their own companions. Moreover, the dark elves' teamwork was extremely good. Each round of arrows would take down seven people. The warriors in the group only had a little more than a hundred people. It was simply not enough.
At this moment, a Knight in black heavy armor appeared at the forefront. He waved the dark green Knight's shield on his left arm, which had a lion engraved on it. He easily deflected the arrows that were shot at him. The war spear in his right hand was a strange black and red color. With his appearance, an extremely strong smell of blood spread in all directions.
"Gerald!" Hazel suddenly stopped. Her voice was unusually dry.
"Hehe …" Gerald was wearing a steel mask. His expression couldn't be seen. Only a mocking laughter that sounded like metal clashing could be heard. "Hazel, are you disappointed to see me?"
