Chapter 203 Hidden Dangers in the Rear
In front of Ruolin City, the originally clear sky has now been covered by a large area of lifeless dark clouds. It is clearly daytime now, but it feels like night is coming.
Louis stood on the gate tower of the pink crystal wall, looking solemnly at the distant horizon, where a faint white line has appeared.
"Have you completed the work of organizing the citizens to take refuge?" The enemy is the necromancer. Louis is afraid that the necromancer has some large-scale magic that can attack the civilians in the city and turn them all into undead. This is definitely not the ending Louis wants to see, so at this moment he must prepare in advance and gather the civilians in a safe shelter behind the city hall.
In case the city gate is lost, Louis can set up a defense line in front of the city hall again to cover the evacuation of civilians. After all, the training camp recruits soldiers very quickly, and it can be accelerated by using a little krypton gold.
Louis has already conceived several remedies in his mind after the city gate is broken, but at this time, a piece of news that makes him not very satisfied came from the rear.
The captain of the city guard, Mike, suddenly ran over in a hurry: "Lord Louis, there are people making trouble over there!"
"What's going on?" Louis frowned.
"The general idea is that the previous wars in Ruolin City did not affect their lives, so why did they have to take refuge this time? Because the incident happened suddenly, they did not pack their luggage at all. Now they are clamoring to come back to pack, and Lord Mei Ni can no longer suppress them over there." Mike said with sweat and panting.
"What's going on? Wasn't it notified in advance?" Louis asked gloomily.
"Indeed, it was notified in advance, but only a small number of citizens started packing in advance after receiving the notice. Most people think that this war will not affect them like the previous one, so..."
"This is an order I gave personally! Even if they have confidence in me, don't they see who gave the order?" Louis' tone contained a hint of suppressed anger.
"This..." Mike's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't know what to say next. But at this time, another soldier from the city guard came over. Before he arrived, he shouted to Mike from a distance: "Captain, it's not good! There's going to be a fight over there, Mei Ni... Lady Mei Ni is in danger."
In the emergency shelter behind the city hall, Mei Ni was surrounded by countless civilians. The guards protecting Mei Ni were like a lone boat in the sea, being pushed and shouted by the crowd, and they were almost unable to protect Mei Ni behind them.
"Everyone, please calm down!" Mei Ni's eyes also showed anxiety. Originally, after settling things here, Mei Ni planned to rush to the front line of the city wall to help Louis. Unexpectedly, she was surrounded by this group of unreasonable civilians with good intentions at this moment.
"Lord Mei Ni! You must give us an explanation. Our property is still at home. Why don't you let us go back to get it?"
"That's right. Do you know how many gold coins are in my house? If someone steals them, will you compensate us?" The civilians below kept making noises.
"Everyone calm down! This time the enemy is special. It is the army of the undead! There are necromancers in it. If you continue to live in the residential area behind the city wall, you may be affected by the large-scale magic of the necromancers. So please come to the shelter for your personal safety." Mei Ni tried her best to hold it in, and her throat was almost hoarse.
"What are the undead? Doesn't Lord Louis have angels? Let the angels destroy the undead!"
"Yes, yes, the necromancers were scared to death when they saw the angels! How could they dare to attack Ruolin City?"
"Yes! Let us go back! I want to go home!"
"Everyone!" Looking at the crowd that was getting more and more intense, Mei Ni was so anxious that tears were about to flow out. However, at this moment, she was so anxious that she did not notice that there were two sharp-eyed guys in the crowd, quietly squeezing towards her.
It turned out that all this was premeditated incitement. These civilians were originally quite obedient to Louis' arrangement. After all, they did not forget who brought them from barely having enough to eat to a life with no worries about food and clothing and a lot of entertainment. Compared with the Holy Flame Empire or other cities on the entire continent, Ruolin City is simply like heaven.
But there were a few people who were secretly planted, with some special purpose to incite these blind civilians, and let them do something that they dared not believe they would do after they calmed down.
At this moment, the two quietly approached Mei Ni, and then one of them suddenly hugged the guard in front of Mei Ni, and the other one rushed over directly, and the dagger in his hand flashed instantly, and stabbed Mei Ni's back!
"Lord Mei Ni, be careful!" The guard who was hugged noticed that something was wrong, but it was too late for the other guards to react!
"Hehe, this mission is really easy!" As the dagger in his hand was about to pierce into the back of Minnie, the assassin showed a smug expression on his face, thinking that a generous reward was about to be obtained.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a sound.
"Biu!"
In an instant, the assassin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and his arm lost strength instantly. He couldn't stab in the last time.
"What's going on? What's going on?" The assassin was shocked. He was horrified to find that there was an ice spear as thick as a thumb stuck in his wrist.
"Wow!"
In an instant, a flying dragon suddenly fell down, and the air waves generated by the flapping of its wings stirred up the dust. The crowd below retreated and made way for the circle around Minnie.
"Bring those two guys to me!" Louis jumped off the flying dragon and stood in front of Minnie, asking her with concern: "Are you okay?"
Louis appeared in front of her at the most critical moment like a hero. Minnie was moved, then shook her head with a red face: "No... It's okay, it should just be a little torn."
"That's good!" Louis nodded, but found that the two assassins had easily gotten rid of the guards who had surrounded them, and just as he was about to squeeze into the crowd, he escaped.
"Still want to leave? Frost Nova!" Louis' face flashed a gloomy look, and the ice ring under his feet instantly spread out, catching up with the two at a very fast speed.
With Louis' current magic control, the ice ring will definitely not freeze anyone except the target when it spreads out.
So at this moment, only the two assassins were frozen in place in the crowd. People immediately dispersed around them. Louis walked slowly with Minnie, and each step put great pressure on the two assassins.
