The battle that took place at the west city gate lasted less than three or four minutes from beginning to end, and until this time, Sally had not arrived at the expected north city gate.

Geographically speaking, the Duke's Palace is located closest to the North City Gate. If you drive smoothly, you can reach the city gate directly in only five minutes. However, the monastery where Sally is located is in a subtle location - it is far from the West City Gate where the battle broke out.

The direct distance between the locations is only five hundred meters!

And if you walk towards the north city gate, the closest distance to the "encirclement" along the way is only two hundred meters!

Sally realized this, so when she heard the "retreat" bell, she immediately pulled the reins and stared blankly at the closed west city gate in the distance. She wanted to rush over, but she knew that she could not help at all.

I am not busy, my heart is a mess and confused...

"Miss! We don't have much time. We must rush there as soon as possible! The master's carriage will be waiting for you in front. If you can't make it, the master probably won't leave -"

Martin understood the stakes and immediately persuaded Sally with cold sweat on his face to continue traveling. He did not want to see the daughter of a duke who had just become a priest encounter any more "accidents", and he did not dare to do what the Duke of Angmar solemnly told her.

Damn, looking at Sally's hesitant expression at this moment, he even thought of carrying her right away and taking her away alive!

Fortunately, Sally was not an impulsive and brainless girl. She took a deep breath and started the horse again. As she ran, she asked with a trembling voice: "They failed... the Archbishop and the Bishop, Titus and Wellington."

Even though they are here, they still failed... Then Roddy——"

"I don't care about so much anymore! Miss!"

Martin whipped the horse Sally was riding on the buttocks and shouted: "Since they can't stop them, Captain Roddy can't stop him even more! He knew the ambush he planned. If the knock came,

Bell, it means there is nothing he can do!"

These cruel words made Sally feel as if her heart suddenly froze, and almost immediately the scenes she least wanted to imagine appeared in her mind...

Do I want to return to this city after everything is over, cross those mossy stone roads, walk to the cemetery outside the South City Gate, and face those cold... tombstones alone?

The chat at the dinner a few days ago is still vivid in my mind, and the vows I made with Rody still seem to echo in my ears - when I said goodbye for the last time, I asked him, "Is the next battle dangerous?"

"It should be certain. Even if something goes wrong, you and the Duke don't have to worry."

This was Roddy's answer at that time. When Sally recalled it, she suddenly understood what he meant by "You and the Duke don't have to worry"...

The cold wind in the morning faced her face, but Sally felt that the world in front of her had become blurry - the hand holding the reins was tightly held. She wanted to rush to the battlefield to confirm that her judgment was wrong, but the reason in her mind

But told her she must run forward now!

The sound of horse hooves echoed on the street. The few civilians looked at the roaring horses and hid in haste. Sally turned her head and looked to her side. The street she was walking through at this time happened to be the main road leading to the West City Gate - but

Looking at it at this time, except for the patrolling cavalry and the closed city gate, she couldn't see anything else at all...

"What's going on..."

When her eyes turned to the front, Sally noticed a simple carriage parked in the distance. Just when she felt something strange, she heard Martin beside her say in a deep voice on the bumpy horse: "That's the master's car...

He said he would wait for you, miss."

Hearing these words, Sally felt that her already cold and lost heart seemed to have regained a lot of warmth - and only then did she understand: Thinking of everything Roddy did, it was all for the sake of herself and her father.

Stay alive…

As long as there are still people in the Luciferon family alive, everything can be redeemed!

When thinking of this, Sally complained in her heart why Roddy was so stupid... What on earth is there in this family that is worthy of him risking his life to save again and again?!

"Ha... whether you believe it or not, I did this just to prevent this country... from being destroyed by a group of beasts in the future."

Recalling what Rody said back then, Sally suddenly felt a little enlightened - everything Rody did seemed to be really for this "joke" that she thought at the beginning.

When something suddenly dawned on her, her heart suddenly felt heavy. She bit her lip and drove her horse forward, her eyes red, but she did not shed tears after all.

But in the carriage in the distance, the Duke of Angmar was looking in the direction of the west city gate and sighed secretly: "So many people can't solve the problem... I really can't blame the lack of careful planning."

Although he knew in his heart that the failure of this plan would have extremely bad consequences, he still felt deep in the city. He just clenched his fists slightly and did not choose to go up and die now. Although what Rody said at the beginning was unpleasant, it was indeed the truth: he could not die.

!If he dies, the Everta territory will be completely finished!

Sally can't die either! She is the only heir to the Luciferon family!

The Duke of Angmar had the opportunity to leave the city as soon as possible, but his father is his father after all. Even if he had such an opportunity, he finally chose to walk behind Sally. At this time, he saw Sally heading here in the distance.

As he galloped over, he felt some unspeakable bitterness in his heart... To escape like this, even if it was the right choice, was too cowardly!

Just as he was about to tell the driver to start the carriage, Angmar suddenly heard a muffled "duh" sound in his ears. He turned around and looked out from the simple window of the carriage hood. He was surprised to see a

The long arrow was nailed to the wall not far away...

Frost-white ice crystals followed the arrow and spread instantly towards both sides of the wall. In less than two seconds, the original gray-brown wall showed a hexagonal frozen mark, as if a snowflake was drawn out of thin air.

.

"Frost Arrow..."

The Duke immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the arrow, but happened to hear a muffled sound coming from the distance——

"Boom!"

Even hundreds of meters away, Angmar and Sally could hear the far-expanding sound. They turned around and immediately saw a cloud of smoke rising from the top of the clock tower, the tallest building near the west city gate.

.

The big clock on the top of the bell tower then made a muffled sound again, and two figures jumped out one after another in the smoke. Even though they were hundreds of meters apart, they could still see that both figures were holding a handle in their hands.

bow!

The Duke of Angmar and Sally looked into the distance, their mouths widening at the same time: "That's... Roddy?"

****

Set the time back to a few minutes ago.

Magda, who calmly walked away from the heads of hundreds of temple guards, jumped from a height of more than ten meters. When she landed, she rolled over. After removing her strength, she stood up and walked directly into the shadow of an alley. Her silent footsteps didn't even make a sound.

Attracting the attention of the team that just patrolled by.

The dark blue short bow was held in his hand, and the arrows in the quiver behind his back were not thrown away by his fierce movements. The robe originally disguised as the leader of the caravan was torn off at some point.

At that time, Magda was wearing a gray and black leather armor - he was moving quickly in the shadows, but his gray-white pupils were always looking at several houses not far away...

"How dare you ambush me..."

After walking through the alley for a moment, he took a leap and jumped over a two-meter-high wall. When he fell, he suddenly stopped, turned to look to his side, and said to the air:

"Who leaked the news?!"

The figure of Derby appeared in the distorted air. The clothes on the latter's body had many tears and dirty soil. It was obvious that he had suffered some losses due to the battle just now, but at this time, even though he was full of resentment, he still immediately knelt down.

He knelt down, lowered his head and said, "This subordinate is incompetent! I... really don't know the reason."

"They came prepared!" Magda was not interested in holding others accountable at this time, her gray eyes flashing with anger, "It seems that the two knights and the 'Rose Cross' team are preparing for an encirclement and suppression."

?Then I'm afraid...they have found the wrong person."

"grown ups?"

Although the undead had no heartbeat or breathing, Derby still felt that his withered heart seemed to be twitching a few times at this moment... The Magda in front of him was never someone to be trifled with. Even within the Tasman Kingdom, there were not many people.

Dare to touch his bad luck - because everyone knows that he has a terrible character of revenge. No matter how powerful the person who really angers [Wither] Magda is, the consequences will most likely be that he disappears inexplicably or even the body is not neatly assembled.

…

Obviously, this group of humans is in bad luck right now.

"Fight back. Within five minutes, I will kill those two magicians."

Magda looked away, and her words sounded casual, but with an inexplicable chill, "Those two knights, if they can stay, there is no need to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the building next to him, jumped up without using any skills, tugged with one hand, climbed to the eaves, jumped to the second floor, and disappeared into Derby without a sound.

in front of.

This move was simply more deft than what Debi, a professional assassin, could do. Looking at Magda's disappearing figure in the distance, Debi also understood that he had no room to refuse. He touched his bald head, shook his head, turned around and disappeared.

In place.

****

At the same moment, Rody, who was hiding under a low wall dozens of meters away, clenched the scroll in his hand anxiously.

Roddy actually doesn't have much certainty about what is going to happen next - but right now he has no choice: taking a step back would be hell. If he doesn't bite the bullet and try, he may have to sit back and wait for death...

Taking a deep breath, he looked up at the soldiers not far away who were holding up their shields and looking around vigilantly. Then he looked at Rubens and Benjamin who were tightly surrounded. Then he tightened his grip on the short bow in his hand and returned the weapon.

The quiver strap with 15 arrows left was pulled hard and tightened on the back...

Rody raised his hand and made a gesture to Wellington and Titus, who had regained their fighting ability more than ten meters away.

"Let's get started."

"Walk!"

Wellington and Titus looked at each other and rushed out from the corner at the same time. Both of them held a heavy tower shield in their hands. They were no longer holding heavy swords from the previous battle, but copied them from soldiers.

Short Swords - Two tall and long-legged knights stepped from the street and rushed towards Rubens's position. They looked around with vigilant eyes, shields in their hands to protect their bodies, and the surface of their bodies filled with "war energy" distorted the air.

.

The injuries of the two men were no longer serious after the priest's "restoration technique", and anyone could guess that their behavior now was to prepare to gather with the archbishop and the bishop to take care of each other.

Apparently they admitted that they really had no power to fight back against a "ranger" like Magda, and the other high-level assassin hiding in the shadows was even more terrifying.
