The Truth of Magic

Chapter 399

399 Reaching the new city

In an instant, without waiting for Zhao Xu and the others to explain, the archers standing on the high slope immediately shot their arrows at the two.

The entire process was seamless.

Or it could be said that when Zhao Xu saw the brass treasure chests piled up at their feet, he already knew that this matter would not end well.

In Arthur, other than using adventurers to balance out the adventurers, the other forces would rely on cavalry and bow formations to fight against professionals.

After ordinary civilians and mercenaries had undergone armor training and were equipped with a group of long Spears, it was indeed difficult for ordinary adventurer teams to resist.

And right now, Zhao Xu wasn’t a normal adventurer team.

When the first wave of arrows that didn’t have any buffs on them landed on Zhao Xu’s body, most of them were blocked by his advanced Wizard armor.

He had already filtered out the first wave of attacks.

The remaining arrows that were lucky enough to penetrate the force field Armor and land on his body were also destroyed by his cloak.

This scene shocked the two young cavalry leaders, and for a moment, they thought that the other party had cast a demonic technique.

At the same time, the cavalrymen who were holding long Spears also rushed towards Zhao Xu, and the sharp tips of their Spears were pointed straight at him.

Zhao Xu and Vivian instantly activated their powers and flew into the sky.

“What is this? The ability to fly?”

The young man with a resolute expression couldn’t help frowning, thinking that he had probably kicked a rock.

However, he immediately strengthened his belief.

As long as the two in front of him saw everything in the nest, he would not let them go back safely.

This was also the reason why they immediately called for cavalry to check out the nest when they heard about the appearance of the Super-large mutant Scorpion. They wanted to retrieve the things that were placed here in the first place.

At this moment, Zhao Xu flew high up in the air and looked down at the people below him, who were like ants.

When mages had the power to fly, most terrain obstacles were no longer a problem. At the same time, to capture mages, they would need to bring enough air troops.

Seeing this, he only snorted and thought about how to deal with the cavalry below.

Did they really think he had a good temper? he was so direct that he wanted to do it without a second word.

“President.”

At this time, Vivian’s expression was serious. At this moment, the wings on her back had become white, like the wings of an angel.

She exuded an incomparably holy aura, no longer in her previous state of purity and charm.

“What’s wrong?”

I suspect that the lair just now was the setup of some evil ritual. Vivian said.

when we were in the tunnel just now, there were a lot of human remains on the ground. Obviously, they were not buried there in the past, but were the result of the mutated scorpions not moving them in time.

Zhao Xu also remembered.

That was how the soldier from the Northland told him. There were corpses hanging from the ceiling of the lair, and some of them were even locked up in cages.

When they first entered, they only saw a hook on the ceiling and nothing else.

Thinking of this, his face also darkened.

“Are you the ones who caused the corpses in the nest?” Zhao Xu suddenly sped up and asked the two young men as he got close to them.

Their faces immediately darkened. you saw it? ”

“How much more do you know?”

The determined young man immediately shouted to the surrounding mutant scorpions, ” “Kill him!”

At the same time, the bangle on his hand directly activated a mysterious glow.

In an instant, all the mutated scorpions that had been lying dormant all started charging towards Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu just closed his eyes quietly. He knew that there was no more room for negotiation.

The night sky was instantly dyed red by blood.

———————————

The first rays of dawn.

“Hurry up, you guys walk faster.” A middle-aged man in uniform who looked like a butler was sitting on a horse, urging the cavalrymen behind him.

However, his voice did not seem to be affected at all.

They were all dressed in shiny silver heavy armor, and the warhorses they rode were all in high spirits. Even if they were to gallop for a thousand miles, they were still impressive.

“Mr. Butler, please don’t rush me.” Another valiant commander in his Prime advised.

A knife scar slid down from his forehead to his chin, but it didn’t hurt his killing intent. It was the style of someone who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

The heavy cavalrymen behind him followed his lead, and their pace and speed were the same as his.

sigh, how could I? the old matriarch was worried to death when she saw that the second young master had yet to return. She immediately urged me to rush over to see what was going on.

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have privately mobilized your border Army to help.” The middle-aged man explained.

The sky had just turned bright, and the Roosters had only crowed once. Most people were still hiding in their warm beds.

However, this border Army heavy cavalry was full of energy at this moment, even their aura was condensed into one.

“I guess they saw some beautiful women among the refugees and went too far.” The middle-aged cavalryman said with contempt.

“Don’t look down on the second young master. He has been trained in the military for the past two years and has become much more mature.”

“Steady? As the patrolling cavalry he borrowed, he even has his usual pig and dog friends by his side. In my opinion, it’s difficult to change his temperament.” The brawny commander said, ” who knows, they might be happily setting up camp by the time you arrive.

Suddenly, the leader of the cavalrymen pulled the reins in his hand.

“Something’s wrong. The smell of blood is too strong.”

Upon hearing this, the Butler seemed to feel the blood pressure in his head rise again.

He hurriedly urged the warhorse under him to gallop forward.

It wasn’t until he had made a detour around a huge rock that he almost fainted on the spot and fell off his horse.

The entire hillside, the patrolling cavalry that was dispatched yesterday, were all dead, scattered on the mountain like chess pieces.

These cavalrymen were all lying on the ground in an orderly manner, without any reaction or consciousness.

There were no wounds on their bodies, and even the armor they were wearing was intact.

“Who did this?” Although the patrolling cavalry wasn’t the strongest fighting force in the border Army, he still couldn’t understand what was going on.

Looking up, the originally quiet Hill looked as if it had been crushed by a huge rock. Countless armors and weapons were scattered on the ground.

The burly man kept thinking about whether the border defense Army of the opposite Duchy had crossed the border to attack.

“Where’s the young master?” The Butler was even more worried about the second young master’s safety when he saw the state of the cavalry that he had brought with him last night.

“Over there.” The brawny man’s tone was cold and filled with a deep chill.

He looked at the treetops in the distance. There were also two young men in ragged clothes, their armor shattered and falling to the ground.

From the paleness of his face, it could be seen that he had been dead for a long time, frozen stiff in the wilderness.

The Butler looked at the scene in disbelief and immediately burst into tears.

The brawny commander was also cursing in his heart. The Alliance was probably going to be in chaos for a while.

———-

Zhenyu city was the Alliance City closest to Xiluo Duchy.

It was a time when the northern Alliance was likely to fall into a civil war. Countless tourists and citizens of the dukedom were rushing to Zhenyu city to join the northern Alliance.

At this moment, the gate of the town, which was supposed to be the most lively place, was so crowded that not even a drop of water could get through.

Even the usually domineering adventurers waited in line to enter the city at this sensitive time, and did not do anything too outrageous.

“Isn’t this a little too much?”

A party of players who had just finished collecting in the wild complained. They had been waiting in line at the door since the beginning, looking down at the things in the basket from time to time, their faces anxious.

“That’s strange. Why are they checking so carefully today?” The warrior from the player party who had participated in the defense deployment during this period of time said in surprise.

“Ha, you just came back, right? I didn’t hear the news on the way here?” At this moment, a fisherman took a small sip and pointed at the players in front of him.

“Hey, old man, what do you know?” The warrior player who could be considered an insider said unhappily.

“Take a look at the notice board.” The old man saw the other party’s impatient tone and immediately lost the mood to brag.

At this moment, the players could not help but look at the huge notice board stuck at the corner of the city gate.

“So tough? Where did this Dragon come from? he just killed the local tyrant.”

This warrior player had good eyesight and was the first to see the notice board.

His expression immediately changed and he immediately explained to his companions.

“This is a big deal. One of the dead is the nephew of donder, the current leader of the Alliance. This murder case is a complete slap in the face.”

At this time, the crowd was also talking about the gossip of the deceased. However, the comments of the surrounding people were mostly curses. Therefore, they were also happy that someone could deal with the domineering young master.

As they chatted, the focus of everyone’s topic was also drawn to the mysterious killer, and in an instant, many speculations emerged.

“Identity?”

As time passed, the line slowly moved forward.

At this time, the patrolling soldiers looked at the man and woman in front of them and asked in a low voice, while quietly keeping their guard up.
