Chapter 157 A Gentleman Does Not Stand on the Eaves

"What...?!"

The first arrow shot by the sergeant was particularly accurate, piercing directly through the chest of an artificer. The built-in protection of the thin clothes they wore was powerless in front of the military crossbows carrying deadly kinetic energy. Then the soldiers fired a small volley, nine arrows covering the artificer standing on the roof.

The artificers had already deployed their wing shields at the fastest speed to resist the projectiles. But the arrows flew ten times faster than they deployed their wing shields.

From the whistle to the first artificer covering his chest and falling down, blood rushed into his lungs, and he eventually died of suffocation. Only two minutes had passed, and these artificers were extremely conspicuous under the moonlight, and the rangers could see them at a glance.

More rangers had rushed from the rest area to fight with these eight artificers. Now there were only six left, and everyone was injured. Some of their black and white robes had been torn to pieces by crossbows.

Military crossbows, within a hundred steps, kill with one strike, and injure with a graze.

The remaining mechanical magicians finally spread their wing shields to block the incoming crossbow arrows, but it didn't matter, they had rangers in not only one direction, and the follow-up soldiers would come from all directions and trap them to death on this roof.

The mechanical magicians knew very well that they would only be annihilated if they stayed on the roof, so they jumped off the edge of the building one after another. One of them wanted to spread his wind wings and take off, but before he could fly out for ten seconds, he was shot into a sieve by the crossbow arrows. The glider that could only move in a fixed direction was undoubtedly the best target.

The white-clothed mechanical magician was also hit by an arrow, but the armor he used was several times more advanced than those of ordinary mechanical magicians, barely enough for him to withstand two military crossbows without dying, but he just spit out a mouthful of red blood on the roof.

The external fighting had already begun. They were good at controlling war equipment and were no match for the rangers in close combat. Even without horses, the rangers were still elite soldiers who were trained in fighting every day in spring, summer, autumn and winter. He used his saber to block the wing shield in the hand of the mechanical manipulator, kicked it hard, and then aimed at the flaw and chopped it down heavily.

Ji Lin listened to the screams from outside and distinguished them carefully. He held his breath and stuck his head out to observe until he confirmed that there was no sound of the wooden structure of the mechanical man turning.

In his sight, the mechanical men all stopped moving. These war machines that had been wiped out of their autonomous action ability immediately entered a dormant state after being out of the control of the mechanical manipulator. Several activated mechanical men turned around and walked towards the direction of the mechanical manipulators, intending to protect their masters.

They were still at a loss and had not had time to give these war machines accurate action instructions before they were interrupted by the sneak attack of the rangers.

Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he saw these Momen disciples secretly hiding something from him, he felt that it was not good. He forced the rangers to assign 20 people to keep watch in a hidden place. He covered all the food and drinks for the night watch, but they were not allowed to drink a little.

The next day, they could drink as much as they wanted.

Anyway, the money is not his, it is all public travel expenses, so he doesn't feel bad about using it.

If he gets drunk, it has nothing to do with the night watch.

It is still unknown how much time the rangers can buy for him, and he doesn't know who will win or lose. Taking advantage of the precious time that his plan has bought for himself, the only right way is to leave this crisis place.

"Giant bird, can it be started?"

Ji Lin asked Gui Yu who was holding him tightly.

He could clearly feel Gui Yu trembling in his arms, and constantly shrinking inwards, spreading gray hair and falling on Ji Lin, quite soft. This blind spot of vision is so large that it is difficult to avoid the threat of crossbows outside without being close to each other. Let's put the matter of not being intimate between men and women aside for now.

"The activation of the giant mechanical beast is more complicated. I have to go to the activation room above to control it."

Gui Yu gritted his teeth and said to him, his voice rarely revealed a trace of tenderness and unstoppable trembling.

"I'm going to take this information back to Master. The communication must have been cut off by them somewhere..."

After all, it was the first time to face a life-and-death threat. It was already very good to be able to maintain normal thinking ability and remain relatively calm.

As for what Gui Yu said...he could only hope that she did not make a wrong judgment.

At this point, it was best to leave.

He should leave here.

As for Wang Qing and the others, let them adapt to the situation and then reunite with him. Ji Lin believed that they could do it.

Ji Lin played as the vanguard. Under Gui Yu's command, he closed the entire belly compartment and let her come out of the bunker.

If there were two people, he could ask Gui Yu questions for him.
