Chapter 645 The Inexplicable Light Magic
Baronet is the lowest-ranking title among the formal nobility other than lord. .So the baron's manor where the target is located this time is naturally located at the edge of this aristocratic area.
Just as the lights over there went out, a loud roar suddenly broke the silent night sky, "Quick, quick...surround me!"
Like a huge boulder crashing into the stagnant water, the soldiers who were marching quietly did not conceal themselves and rushed forward like a flood. What was even faster was the torrent of cavalry that surrounded them from all directions. The clatter of horse hooves converged in one place, like the drumbeats of passionate battlefields. Immediately, the sound of weapons being unsheathed sounded almost simultaneously, harsh and sharp, completely cutting through the silent night sky in an instant.
boom! Before the cavalry could approach, the gate of the noble manor slammed shut. Immediately, swish, swish, swish... bursts of piercing screams spread in the distance, and the cavalry brigade closest to the manor instantly fell into pieces, and screams and horses neighed endlessly.
"Large crossbow... Damn it! Spread out, spread out..." This was the voice of Cavalry Commander Bernie. They still underestimated the defense strength of the Bounty Hunter Guild. They did not expect that there was a city defense hidden in this small manor. Heavy weapon, caught off guard, the cavalry running at the front suffered heavy injuries.
But just this time, as the cavalry dispersed and the large crossbow took too long to reload, the next two rounds of attacks never achieved brilliant results.
"You bastard, fuck you, you're trying to do this to me!" Powis from behind was leading a large group of soldiers to surround him. When he saw this, he became furious. He swung his heavy sword and roared violently, "Shoot! Suppress me and go back!"
As soon as the roar ended, swish, swish... densely packed sparks instantly appeared in the sky in all directions, like stars all over the sky, which was spectacular for a moment. Immediately, Mars fell and rushed towards the interior of the manor with a cry of death.
Now that it has been determined that there is a problem with the baron's manor, Powers will naturally not be polite. He knew the advantage on his side, that is, compared to the undisciplined bounty hunters, the discipline of soldiers and cavalry was much higher, and they were suitable for opening up the formation and fighting head-on. Of course, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, individual combat is completely at a disadvantage.
In this case, it is not surprising that Powis set fire to the enemy. This was to trap the opponent in place as much as possible, so that he could only be passively beaten.
…
"It's so fucking spectacular, like a firework..." Looking at the stars in the sky, David, who was standing by the woods, couldn't help but raise his head and stare, and said such a sentiment with a slightly literary accent.
Harry on the side rarely made any sarcasm. He, like the surrounding gray space members, was also impressed by this spectacular sight and was speechless for a moment.
Tang En just glanced at it and then looked away, his expression calm. This is not pretending, he is someone who has seen big scenes. He said that the "Fireworks Scene" he directed and performed in the Northern Wasteland Imperial City was much more spectacular than the one in front of him.
Looking around, the noble manor near and far must have seen this scene, but they didn't make any move for a while, they must have been frightened.
As for the baron's manor, as expected, people have already begun to break out. However, these people are obviously not smart enough. Now that the arrow has not stopped, they will end up as hedgehogs.
More than ten rounds of arrows passed by, and the noble manor was plunged into a sea of fire. It was hard to say how many bounty hunters died inside, but the defenses on the surrounding walls were undoubtedly completely destroyed.
As soon as the arrows stopped, the surrounding soldiers had already piled up, leaving no chance for the people inside to breathe.
Tang En couldn't help but frown when he saw this, and murmured in a low voice: "You have to fight hard..."
It goes without saying that the strength of the bounty hunter is probably the lowest. A dozen soldiers can't even get close to him. Therefore, Powis's current move is not really smart. According to Tang En's previous thoughts, Powis should leave some gaps after the fierce attack in the early stage and adopt the strategy of surrounding three and missing one. Although this will allow him to escape Some bounty hunters, but they can also win the game the fastest.
In fact, this was what Powers planned before, but after seeing his guard cavalry being strung into gourds by large crossbows, his temper suddenly rose. He would rather win miserably than uproot the bounty hunter guild and destroy it. Everyone inside was wiped out on the spot!
Powis' determination was undoubtedly noticed by the people inside. Before the soldiers could completely surround him, hundreds of ghostly figures shot out in an instant, their fighting lights shining brightly.
Obviously, these should be the bounty hunters who came to the guild today. Of course they were unlucky. Now they could only take advantage of the fact that the encirclement had not yet been completely formed and there was still some hope of escape, so they could forcefully rush into the formation.
All this made Tang En look a little dazed on the outside. It was a very familiar rhythm... There was a similar scene in Laiyan City back then. Bowes was still taking the initiative to encircle and suppress one party. The difference was that he was an assassin before and now he is a bounty hunter. .
Oh, there's something different...
Just as these powerful bounty hunters rushed out, the guard cavalry who came up all stopped, took out something from behind their shields, raised it, and aimed.
Puff puff……
Compared with the previous arrow effect, the sound of breaking through the air this time was shorter and sharper. Nearly half of the hundreds of fighting figures fell down in an instant, and some were still alive. They rolled around on the ground several times, howling miserably, and were immediately extinguished by a burst of sound.
"Fuck!" "No way..." "Crossbow?"
It is necessary to explain here that bows and arrows and short crossbows are two different concepts. If you kill people with a bow and arrow, you will be praised for your archery skills. But if you use a short crossbow to kill people... it will generally make people feel obscene! Probably because the short crossbow's shooting range is too short and too fast, it is actually the first choice weapon for those who laugh from the front but are shady from the back!
Regardless of whether it is for this reason or not, there are indeed very few short crossbows circulating on the market, and they are considered contraband in a general sense. Except for the army, which can be assembled, other groups are not allowed to possess it.
But at this moment, these guard cavalry took out their crossbows and fired volleys openly, which really made David and the others speechless.
"This is Powers..." Tang En didn't look surprised at all, he just sighed in a confirmation tone. He knew Powers. For a guy who dared to turn the muzzle of Thor's hammer to blast into the city, what did it mean to equip his men with short crossbows?
After a pause, Tang En took the lead and withdrew his gaze: "Okay, the Bounty Hunters Guild is over, let's get ready to take action. Remember, our goal is to intercept all kinds of information transported by the cavalry. Of course, if we can get that baron It would be better to capture him alive!”
This was Tang En's purpose. Even if Bovis and the bounty hunter died together, it would have nothing to do with Tang En. At most, they would just clap their hands twice to celebrate. His target is guild information. In this way, it is undoubtedly much easier to steal it from the cavalry than to steal it from the bounty hunter guild.
David, Harry and others all nodded when they heard the sound, and then walked out of the woods and approached the road to find the best place to rob later. But at this moment, Tang En suddenly raised his head, his expression changed, and he said urgently: "Get down!"
Of course, the members of Gray Space had absolute trust in Tang En. Although they did not understand what was going on, they immediately fell to the ground after hearing the sound and subconsciously rolled behind the tree beside them.
At this moment, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened up... A point of light appeared out of thin air over the manor. It was inconspicuous at first glance, just like one of the stars in the sky. But in just a short moment, the light spot expanded rapidly, like the sun rising in the east. In an instant, it was as big as a silver plate, and it shed thousands of feet of light.
When the battlefield was quiet, Powis, the garrison cavalry, the garrison soldiers, the bounty hunters, the manor insiders... everyone couldn't help but stop their movements at this moment, squinting blankly at the expanding disc in the sky, watching helplessly As it continues to expand and expand...suddenly,
Heh... The disc fell rapidly, vibrating the space and making a weird sound like cold water pouring on coals. It dragged out a long white shadow, which looked like a silvery-white cylinder and quickly fell into the center of the manor like a comet falling to the ground.
Boom...boom...boom...
White light shot into the sky and the earth trembled. The air waves rose and rolled, like a demon with its bloody mouth, constantly devouring everything it could cover. Even the blazing fire was suppressed directly and disappeared in an instant...
David opened his mouth subconsciously, with a blank look on his face: "Wow, what a big firework..."
"Light magic..." Tang En was a little dazed looking at the scene in front of him, "Does Powis have such energy?"
At the same time, Powers, who was in the center of the crowd, blinked his one eye, scratched his head, turned around and asked in a very uncertain tone: "Well, before I... uh, I called someone from the Temple of Light. ?"
