Chapter 547: Breaking the Law with Force
In a small forest two or three miles away from the villa, Xia Fan was performing his most proficient shock technique.
Under the agitation of the strong electric field, the trees around him had become charred and withered, and even the ground was emitting bursts of green smoke. If we look at it from the perspective of Qi, there is no doubt that a storm is gathering here - a large amount of Qi is pouring in continuously and is transformed into powerful electrical energy under the influence of will. The air is also ionized, and you can see branch-like lightning appearing from time to time, like a leaping soul.
Behind Xia Fan are two floating street lamp posts, which are also his main striking weapons.
"Another dragon is flying!" Qian Yan ran towards him holding a new lamp post - for her, the street lamps in the villa are as long as three or four of her, so the way she ran all the way with the lamp post in one hand is indescribably weird. Probably no one would have thought that those street lamps firmly fixed on the base could be pulled out alive by a little girl who looked about ten years old and carried to Xia Fan.
In this plan, Qian Yan is undoubtedly the most efficient "loader".
"I saw it." Xia Fan stretched out his hands and put the shadow in the distance into the gap between his palm and thumb.
Seeing this, Qian Yan quickly threw the lamp post in his hand to the ground and raised his hands to cover his ears.
The next moment, accompanied by a deafening roar, a lamp post was accelerated to above the speed of sound in a very short time and projected towards the flying Dragonborn - during this process, the iron rod itself was also heated by the induced current, and the body was red hot, so that at the moment of launch, a bright flame trail was dragged out!
The distance of two or three miles was almost reached in an instant.
Before the Dragonborn had time to fly away from the range of the villa, he was shot down by this sudden sharp arrow - at other times, even if it was a musket, the transformed Dragonborn could resist for a long time, but unfortunately this arrow was too big. Even though the speed of the lamppost had dropped to less than half of the speed when it flew over the villa, the kinetic energy it carried was still not to be underestimated. If Xia Fan had not deliberately avoided the body and aimed mainly at the wings, tail and other non-vital parts, the direct attack could have directly killed the dragonborn.
After the two dragons were shot down one after another, no one in the villa dared to take off and chase Olina.
The defense of Saint Blaney Palace was completely suppressed by Xia Fan alone.
Even he himself was somewhat fortunate that the villa was large enough to allow his rescue method to be implemented.
When Xia Fan learned that the Holy Palace was preparing to expel the guests, he thought of using the shock technique to attack the main building of the villa from a distance and create chaos from the outside.
The actual territory of the Holy Palace is nearly a thousand acres, and in order to create a sense of tranquility and isolation, people gather in a small area in the center, surrounded by woodlands, horse farms and artificial lakes. At night, there are basically few people, which also gave him room to act.
Since the maze is similar to a formation, it means that it consumes magic power to start and maintain. In the absence of a specific solution, brute force is often the most straightforward choice.
Xia Fan thought clearly that as long as a hole was dug in the wall and any enemy who tried to chase Li was suppressed, an escape route could be created for her.
The defense of the maze was more fragile than he thought.
After all, it was a villa where the upper class gathered, not a fortress on the front line of the war.
Perhaps the founder of the Holy Palace did not expect that this manor located in the upper city of the Azure Castle would be attacked by heavy artillery.
Xia Fan's main purpose was to save people, so he deliberately raised the angle of incidence of the lamp post. Once the maze was penetrated, it would directly penetrate the roof of the third floor and shoot out from the other side of the main building. However, there seemed to be a little accident in the middle. A lamp post was blocked in the room, and the dull bang when it broke could be heard even two or three meters away.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw Li being taken away by Olina safely.
There were no searchlights in this era. Once they disappeared into the night sky, they would be completely invisible. According to the plan, Olina would first climb to a height of 100 feet, completely get rid of the sight of the pursuers, and then find a remote dragon pillar platform in the city to land. In normal thinking, most people would definitely think that the attackers had fled far away. Even if someone guessed that the attackers might still stay in the city, it would be difficult to associate it with Olina.
Li might have been seen in full, after all, the fox demon's big ears are quite easy to distinguish. However, as long as we pay a little attention and let Li disguise himself before going out, the problem should not be too big. After all, Azure Castle is a large port city with more than 300,000 residents, and the group of half-beasts is also quite large. It is not an easy task to lock Li from them.
"Let's evacuate too." Qian Yan said after confirming that Olina could no longer be found, "The pursuers will search here later."
In fact, from the first firing to now, it was only a few dozen breaths. Even if someone could notice the abnormal fire in the woods, it would definitely not be in time to intercept them.
Xia Fan nodded and followed her into the woods.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Fumi. Cracked Teeth rushed into the forest with a large group of guards.
Not long after searching, they found a strange open space.
“Sir, this is…” The accompanying police officer couldn’t help but cover his nose.
“Well, it seems that the clues provided by the villa are correct. The attackers performed magic here.” Fumi looked around and was secretly amazed. The surrounding trees had all withered, and the land also exuded a rotten smell. At first glance, it looked like it had been swept by necromancy.
"Could the murderer be a necromancer?" As soon as this was said, everyone's faces suddenly became quite ugly. The necromancer school was not only the target of the Sun God Church's extermination, but also listed as a prohibited research field by the mages. It can be said that it was a public enemy of living beings. Because of the suppression from many parties, the necromancers who survived were all extraordinary. They were the number one enemy of public security in any city. Once something happened, it would definitely be a big deal. And the first to face the threat were obviously the guards.
"That may not be the case." Fermi squatted down and put his hand into the soil.
Even in summer, he could feel the heat contained in the soil.
After digging for a while, he pinched a soft earthworm from under a stone. The latter was red all over and had no signs of life, but the overall body was basically intact, and it did not look like the flesh and blood had been drained by necromancy.
"Sure enough," Fermi sniffed the earthworm, "Rather than being killed by necromancy, it's better to say that it was roasted by high temperature."
"Roasted?" the police officer was surprised, "You mean there was a fire in the woods? But according to the clues provided by the villa, only strange sparks were witnessed here, and there was no sign of fire. And... if it was a wildfire, it should have affected the entire forest, not just limited to a twenty-foot wide circle."
"That's the problem." Fermi pondered, "The temperature here seems to start from the inside of the object."
"From... inside the object?" Hearing his boss's words, the police officer shuddered for no reason.
