Chapter 271 Is This... Reversed?
Grand City, the entrance to the north city.
It was dawning and the city gate had just opened. There was very little traffic at this time, mostly horse-drawn carriages with the logo of the Chamber of Commerce. Occasionally there are some ordinary vehicles mixed in, so there must be something urgent that needs to go out of the city.
However, although it is early in the morning, the level of surveillance here is much higher than before. The soldiers guarding the city must check almost every vehicle and everyone must watch. Except, of course, the occasional noble vehicle.
The reason for this is not difficult to imagine. In fact, as long as passersby look up and pay attention, they can find the answer on the city wall. There are two portraits of a middle-aged man and an enchanting woman.
Despite the impact of the news of the Gray Army's construction of the city, the destruction of the Shanxi Goddess Statue will certainly not go away so quickly. What's more, Grand City and Shanxi City are neighboring cities, so they must be prepared to prevent these two people from escaping.
At this time, fifty meters away from the city gate, an ordinary carriage turned out of the side road and slowly stopped on the roadside.
"Okay, let's take it here." The ordinary-looking coachman glanced at the city gate and said softly.
The car curtain opened, and Josiah appeared in a white robe, with a calm yet complicated expression: "I can accompany you to the next city..."
"Um..." Touching his nose, Tang En shrugged and spread his hands, "It's okay, but it's not necessary, is it?"
Joshua was silent...
The situation is now clear. Tang En is carrying the Eye of Space and cannot return to his station. He can only run around in the remaining time. Among them, if anyone is with him, he will undoubtedly be implicated. As for resistance, that is basically impossible. Although they don’t know how many people are coming from the other side, even if only the space magician comes, it is not something that Josiah and the others can resist.
So Tang En could only choose to go on the road alone. Don't get me wrong, there was no boring idea of sacrificing himself for others. No matter how many people there are now, it has no other effect except increasing the chance of being discovered. On the contrary, if there was only Tang En, it would not be easy for the other party to quickly find him within a few kilometers through his superb camouflage skills.
"Stop thinking nonsense." Although he didn't turn around, Tang En certainly knew what Joshua was thinking now, "It has nothing to do with you, it's because my own character is too low, well, or maybe it's because of the gods in this world. I just don’t like it..."
When he said he was running away alone in the house before, everyone hurriedly tried to dissuade him. After all, no matter what, Tang En was one of their own, and he had just helped them. Due to emotions and reasons, they could not just watch Tang En die. Here, Josiah didn't say anything. Later, when Tang En had made up his mind, he went straight to the carriage to say goodbye to him, and then fell silent again...
Such behavior is naturally not that Josiah doesn't care about Tang En. This silence is just Josiah's entangled thoughts about his inability to do anything... When his friend is in trouble, not only can he not be able to help, but he may also become a drag! This is a taste that no one will feel comfortable with.
Biting his lip, Josiah's downcast face was hidden under his long golden hair: "You said, if I didn't call you..."
He interrupted, "Tell me, if I hadn't killed the goshawk first, wouldn't this have happened? Tell me, if I hadn't come this time and you were killed by Eunice, would I have come to take revenge?" Well...it's completely meaningless." Shaking his head, Tang En looked very disapproving.
"It will come..."
"kindness?"
"I said you would come to avenge me, right?"
"Uh..." Tang En was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and said helplessly, "Please, sister, please understand the point of what I'm saying."
"Haha." Joshua saw Tang En pretending to be speechless and chuckled twice, then took a deep breath, "Then what are you going to do next? Just run away like this?"
"Ahem, this is called a strategic shift!" Tang En corrected him in time and narrowed his eyes, "How can it always be like this? There is always a counterattack... Well, if I am pushed into a hurry, I will see you then. Whoever dies first!"
"Do you have an idea?" Josiah was overjoyed when he heard this. Simply running away and running with a purpose are naturally two different things, and the latter is more reassuring.
Shaking his head, Tang En spread his hands and said with a smile: "How is it possible? I'm not a monster with full intelligence... Well, I just have a vague idea and I need your help."
"No problem, just say it." Joshua nodded without hesitation. She was resenting herself just now for not being able to help, and now she was naturally happy to know that she was still of some use.
"In this case, you go back to Shanxi City first...and then..."
After explaining, Joshua nodded repeatedly, and after asking a few questions, his eyes gradually lit up.
"That's all for now...well, be careful and don't force it."
"Understood, don't worry." Joshua nodded confidently, then bit his lip, as if he was brewing something.
Tang En didn't pay attention. He raised the corner of his mouth and gestured with a smile: "That's good, it all depends on you! Haha, okay, it's getting late. If you don't leave, it will be a tragedy if you are caught in the wild, eh? …”
Before he finished speaking, Tang En's expression was stunned. His white robe flashed in front of him, and he couldn't help but lean back. His left and right hands supported the frame of the bicycle, and then his lips were filled with softness...
Am I...being pushed back?
That's right, just when Tang En said goodbye, Joshua suddenly rushed out of the carriage and kissed him forcefully. Tang En's reaction was true, but he was seriously injured now, so he just subconsciously leaned back according to his instinct... At this moment, a rather humiliating posture appeared.
"Wow..." Bang bang bang...
The exclamations, and the enthusiastic applause that followed...
There are few people in the early morning, but that doesn’t mean there are no people. This place is only a few dozen meters away from the city gate and is a must-pass, so many people still saw the scene on this carriage.
In the morning mist, a girl with long blond hair stepped forward, leaned forward, held the man's waist with one hand, and put her other hand on his shoulder. She lowered her head and kissed him... This seemed to be a scene where the objects were exchanged, but it was actually Joshua. Despite Tang En's injury, he looked really domineering!
"Promise me that you will survive!"
"Uh...if I don't agree, are you going to continue like this?"
"..."
…………
Since he could not return to his base now, Tang En would not suffer the consequences of riding a horse. After passing through the charming interlude at the city gate, he drove the carriage briskly away.
No need to guess too much, this will definitely be a journey on the edge of the abyss. Tang En has never lacked confidence, but in fact many things cannot be solved with confidence alone.
Among the remaining members of the Twilight Hunters, there are only two known to Tang En. One is Oliver. Like Eunice, he should also have high-level earth-level strength. If Tang En was not injured, he could probably fight with his upgraded blood power. In terms of pure strength, it may be weaker than the opponent, but in a real battle, it is difficult to say. After all, there are many factors that determine victory or defeat. Just like Eunice before, didn't she die at the hands of the weaker Tang En in the end?
As for the other one, that is Captain Yemo. Needless to say, he is strong. Judging from Eunice's tone, he is probably about to touch the threshold of the sky level. Only Zuo Fan can withstand this kind of strength. If Tang En encounters him, he will definitely die. There is no way, in the face of absolute strength, many strategies are just a joke.
The last one is the empty-level magician. Although he is still covered in the opponent's magic, Tang En has never met him face to face. To be honest, Tang En was almost as wary of him as Ye Mo. The reason is very simple. Tang En has not fought against magicians many times, and he has never had rare empty-level magic. Although some people asked Josiah for this, there was very little that could really help the battle. This is undoubtedly the most unsettling thing, because you don't know the opponent's attack method, and it is easy to suffer hidden losses.
Of course, thinking about it now is of little use. After all, Tang En doesn't even know how many people are coming... As for the current goal, there really isn't one for the time being. Tang En just wants to try his best to get rid of the other party before they come. The body returns to its best condition. As long as his injuries are intact, he has the capital to deal with his opponents.
…
After Tang En set off briskly here, Samp and Oliver rushed over there.
Most things like Warcraft don't like to get along with people, and the more advanced they are, the more so. The reason is very simple, that is, humans are too keen on the various parts on them. The three-eyed golden lion that Yemo killed also had the same habit. In order to find it before, the trio of the Twilight Hunters spent a lot of effort.
In this way, their distance from the city is naturally too far. Fortunately, there was Samp, especially after knowing that something had happened to Eunice, he immediately exploded and took Oliver to teleport dozens of times. It wasn't until his magic power was exhausted and his mental state became seriously deviated that he stopped this dangerous move.
This was really thrilling, as if there was even the slightest mistake, the two of them would fall directly into the dead space. However, the effect was also obvious. They were on the road this time, traveling crazily for hundreds of kilometers. Next, they intercepted a small chamber of commerce, and before the other guard's mercenaries could react, they snatched two horses and left.
With such a direct and rough advance, the two finally arrived outside Shanxi City at night.
…
"Huh..." He exhaled hot air and opened his collar to expose his chest muscles. Although Oliver was extremely powerful, such a crazy rush still made him a little tired. "Isn't that person in the northwest? What are we doing here? ?”
"A few days ago, Eunice and I eliminated a secret hiding place of the Gray Army in nearby Grand City. Phew... In the past few days, only here has been the most commotion, and something must have happened to Eunice here. "Compared to Oliver, Samp's image is even more embarrassing, and his black robe is as wet as if he had been fished out of the water. The exposed half of his face was also extremely pale, looking a little depressed.
"Yes." Oliver nodded upon hearing this. With Eunice's strength and skill, it was absolutely impossible for her to be killed lightly.
"And no matter whether Eunice is dead or not, if she can be forced to this extent, the opponent's strength will definitely not be weak." Samp took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said coldly, "I'm really curious, who is it? "
"Then let's go in and take a look!" After hearing the explanation, Oliver also put away the thought of contempt. Originally, his plan was to catch up with the opponent directly, and then kill him with a knife in revenge, but now after Samp said this, There was also some confusion.
The city gate was closed at this time, but this was naturally a joke in front of the space magician.
Samp waved his hand, and ripples vibrated first, and then white light gradually appeared... But at this moment,
"Huh? Wait..." Oliver frowned suddenly, then strode out of the teleportation range and walked towards the city gate dozens of steps away.
There is a bonfire next to the city gate, but the range it illuminates is also limited. On one side of the wall are some large portraits, which are the most common and widespread wanted posters in this world. At the top of these wanted portraits, there are two that stand out the most.
"Eunice..." Samp also saw the portrait of the enchanting woman and murmured, who else could that be if she wasn't Eunice, a member of their group?
"Bold! Who are you? The city gate is closed. Get back quickly!" On the several-foot-long bluestone city wall, a guard soldier spotted the two people standing there in a daze, and immediately shouted a warning.
After the city gate is closed, there will naturally be no defense below. If someone takes the opportunity to release explosive crystals or something at this time, it will be great fun. That is to say, rear cities like Shanxi City were not very alert, so they allowed Samp and the others to approach directly to the city. If we were on the front line, a hail of arrows would have rained down by now.
The two people below naturally turned a deaf ear, especially Samp. After recovering from the roar of the soldiers guarding the city, he raised his hand to wave, and the two top portraits suddenly floated down together.
"Damn it, put it down!" The feeling of being despised is naturally not good, not to mention that the other party unscrupulously tore off the wanted portrait in the dark. Isn't this a provocation? The defenders became furious and waved their hands, "Brothers, get ready, aim..."
"what happen?"
Just when the city defender was about to order an attack, a question suddenly came from behind.
"Uh, Captain Lei." The soldier who was guarding the city turned around and took a look. He immediately got excited, saluted with a military salute, and then replied respectfully, "There are two people below who ignored the advice and approached the city gate and tore up the wanted portrait. I Prepare to order an attack."
"Oh..." The man called Captain Lei was a middle-aged and elderly man with slightly frosty temples. His eyes were deep and sharp. After hearing the report from the defenders, he nodded thoughtfully and then stretched out his head. Looking down from outside the city wall...
Below, Samp was folding two portraits and putting them into his robe. Oliver, who was standing beside him, raised his eyebrows and looked up abruptly.
With a kick, Captain Lei on the city wall was shaken first, and then he took three steps back. His face was a little pale, and he waved urgently to the surroundings: "Stop attacking, everyone put down their bows and arrows."
"Uh..." The city defender who shouted before was stunned, a little unwilling, but still subconsciously carried out the order.
All the city defenders here know that their Captain Lei is no ordinary person. He used to be in the three major legions. Having killed many barbarians, his eyesight is particularly precise. I heard that he was the one who helped the Director of Security identify the bounty hunter who was wiped out a few days ago. But the director was really unlucky. The suppression was successful but he ended up in jail...
Since Captain Lei said to stop attacking, if it wasn't a matter of identity, then it was because he couldn't afford to offend him. Although the city defender carried out the order, he was still unconvinced, so he still lay on the city wall and looked down. Hey, where did the white light come from...
Buzz... there was a soft sound, and a circle of milky white light suddenly rose into the sky below, which was particularly dazzling in the dim night. Then it disappeared in a flash, leaving no trace.
After putting down the hand covering his eyes, the defender looked blankly at the empty city gate below.
Hiss, hiss, hiss...
The sounds of gasping were heard one after another, and all the city defenders were dumbfounded, with frightened expressions on their faces. Of course they knew what the situation just now represented. It was a space magician...
"Captain, captain, we... uh, do you want to report to the higher ups?" The city defender just looked at Captain Lei with admiration and asked carefully. It is no exaggeration to say that Captain Lei just saved his life.
The two people just now were obviously very powerful, not to mention a rare space magician! No matter where this kind of force is placed, people will not be reassured. Besides, the current atmosphere in Shanxi City is weird, and it is really not suitable to cause any trouble.
"Forget it, don't worry about it." Captain Lei shook his head and looked at everyone around him solemnly, "Just pretend you didn't see what happened just now. Don't ask why, I hope you can forget it as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Lei turned around and left. There was not much expression on his face, but he was complaining in his heart. When he scanned it just now, he saw that what the other party collected were the two murderers who destroyed the statue of the Mountain Stream Goddess. It's obvious that there must be some connection here. But Captain Lei doesn't intend to interfere. What a joke. He still wants to live for two more years. He already regrets enough when he came out to ask...
The two Samps didn't know that their intentions had been seen through, but even if they knew, they wouldn't care. With their strength, they really don’t need to worry too much about doing things.
"What the hell, is this a big city?" After walking out of an alleyway, Oliver frowned and cursed depressedly.
Although the city gate outside is closed, the nightlife in the city naturally continues. But compared to before, it was much deserted here. First of all, the city square was blocked off around the clock, saying that it would not be open to the public until the new Shanxi Goddess Statue was built.
Then the flow of people was much less, and even the gangsters who loved nightlife were almost nowhere to be seen. There is no way, it is easy to step on thunder when you go out to play at this time.
"It seems that there was really a lot of commotion before... Well, let's find a companion." Samp looked around and walked out first, "They must know the specific information about Eunice."
