Chapter 168 Monster Attacks the City

"Wait! There's something going on ahead!"

After advancing a distance towards the city, Ying suddenly took Carl and the other two into the bushes.

Just as Carl and Nia were secretly on guard against her, the sound of horse hooves came from far away, and a fully armed cavalry rushed over here.

The equipment on them had a very obvious Breland style, and the heavy armor seemed to be pressed directly by a stamping machine, rough and simple.

Many horses had several special quivers hanging on both sides, some people carried a light crossbow as tall as a person behind them, and others carried lances.

These people should be two relatively rare warrior sub-jobs-magic archers and cavalry.

These two professions are rarely encountered in adventures, because these two professions are usually in the army.

One is responsible for firepower coverage, and the other is responsible for charging.

If they fight alone, they may be slightly inferior, but as long as they form a certain scale, even if the level is not high, these two professions can cause strong lethality.

The soldiers did not find Carl and his three companions. The flying hooves of the horses stirred up a cloud of dust and soon disappeared with them.

"How could the soldiers of Breland appear here? There is still a distance from the border."

Carl muttered to himself as he walked out of the bushes.

Ying looked at the sky and then said a long sentence.

"I don't know, but I always feel a little depressed. Maybe something will happen soon."

People with psychic powers occasionally have a whim.

Although it is not as accurate as the spells of the prophecy school, it can be regarded as being able to sense good and bad luck in advance.

Carl actually had such a premonition, so the two people with psychic powers did not dare to delay and ran quickly to Akanix with Nia.

"Stop! Who is it!"

Soon, the group arrived at the west gate.

The general guarding the gate shouted sternly. The gate was closed and a tense atmosphere was faintly revealed around.

"We are students of Akanix, and these are our hired companions. We are in the west..."

After truthfully recounting what happened to the three of them not long ago, Carl looked up and waited for the feedback from the gatekeeper.

A discussion sounded on the city wall, and several soldiers opened the city gate a crack, letting Carl and his men into the city.

"Are you sure you saw Breland's soldiers galloping on our road before?"

As soon as he entered the city gate, the general who had just asked Carl about his identity came towards him.

He had a frustrated expression on his face at this time, just like an honest farmer who suddenly learned that he was on the list of dishonest persons.

But the situation may be more complicated than this.

Although he is not a border soldier, and Breland has a good relationship with Andel, it does not mean that the other side's army can enter Andel's territory.

This is already a diplomatic incident!

Maybe there will be a war!

Carl was about to confirm his testimony again, but Nia on the side pulled him.

"We can't be sure that they are Breland's people, but they are indeed wearing Breland's military armor."

After this, Carl and the general were stunned for a moment.

Indeed, wearing Breland's military uniforms does not necessarily mean that they are Breland's army.

"Okay, I understand. You go home first and don't run outside recently."

After admonishing Carl and the other two, the general led a team of soldiers to the city lord's mansion.

Probably to report Carl and the others' intelligence.

The three of them went to the Adventurer's Guild, but they heard that the city gate was closed after nightfall, and many adventurers who returned late were driven away by the general guarding the gate.

"It seems that we can come in thanks to our identity as students of Akanix. By the way, how did that person recognize us?"

At the beginning, Carl didn't have much hope that the three of them could enter the city gate.

"It's hard to say about others, but that general definitely knows you.

Your tower master has a lot of industries here. The officials here may not know others, but they definitely know you, the interns."

Nia teased Carl with a smile on her face.

But what she said was not without reason.

Carl's power armor was really too eye-catching.

"I have reason to suspect that the general has received benefits from the drow elves. According to the receptionist, many male adventurers simply ran to the South Gate to have fun."

While chatting, Carl and others handed over the task to the staff of the association.

After leaving the Adventurer's Association, there was a little light on the horizon. The three returned to the store and had a good rest.

When I woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

The streets were much busier, and the number of adventurers wearing equipment increased visibly.

Seeing the voodoo workshop open, several adventurers walked in together.

"Have you heard? Those bandits from the Black Abyss ran into the regular army last night. That guy, that scene, a lot of people died!"

"Not only that! Those beasts also wanted to capture the people of a village and bring them back for sacrifice. If there wasn't a halfling who knew how to fight, the whole village would have died."

Listening to the conversations of these adventurers, Carl had a general understanding of the situation in other areas last night.

'It seems that things are indeed not very peaceful recently, but I should be able to take this opportunity to quickly accumulate some spirituality. '

Last night's retreat made Carl feel a little guilty, so he planned to go out again today to see...

Just thinking about this, a harsh sound suddenly sounded over the city of Akanix.

The people on the street paused for a moment in confusion, and then realized what the sound was.

"Attack alarm? In Akanix? Is this crazy!"

The adventurers who were about to buy something just now cursed a few words, then left the store and ran towards the city gate.

Ordinary residents quickly returned home, and the direction of the city lord's mansion was lit up like a disco.

That was a phenomenon of someone going back and forth through the teleportation array.

Needless to say, it must be the high-level mages from Akanix who came.

"Nia! Shadow! You guys take good care of the house!"

After instructing the two, Carl summoned the power armor and V again, and also rushed towards the west wall.

At this time, the west wall was full of adventurers, and a general that Carl did not know was standing on the platform, reading the reason for the alarm to everyone.

"According to observation, a large-scale underground city portal appeared on the west side, and a large number of petrified bulls and petrified lizards emerged from it.

Currently, a group of petrified bulls and petrified lizards are heading towards the city of Akanix."

The rest of the words are still long, but they are basically some meaningless news. The general meaning is to encourage adventurers and local guards to hunt petrified bulls and petrified lizards together to relieve combat pressure.

Originally, Carl was going to follow those adventurers and soldiers to fight on the battlefield, but the official soon found him and hoped that the voodoo workshop could help make petrified lizard oil next.

Although petrified lizards and petrified bulls can petrify the enemy, their fresh blood can be extracted into an essential oil for treating petrification.

Especially petrified lizards, they can not only use blood to extract this potion, but their gastric juice also has the same effect.

Fighting with this petrified monster, being petrified is inevitable.

"You can go directly to the voodoo workshop to find my deputy manager to take charge of this matter."

Leaving the work of making potions to Nia, Carl followed the fully armed adventurers and soldiers out of the city.

There were also magic archers among the soldiers of Akanix. When the charging petrified bulls appeared in the field of vision, a round of arrows with magic damage had already flown out from the city wall.

When the monsters approached, the falling arrow rain immediately killed some of the petrified bulls.

"Second round! Fire!"

Seeing that the petrified bulls were still charging desperately, the commander launched another round of arrow rain.

Next, the petrified bulls had arrived near the city wall.

"Line up!"

The soldiers set up large shields and were knocked away by the charge of the petrified bulls.

But they succeeded in slowing down the pace of the first batch of petrified bulls.

A rear-end collision occurred in the monster group, and the adventurers took this opportunity to launch an attack.

"Moon Spirit Marrow! Attack!"

Giving the metal slime a somewhat childish name, Carl controlled it to attack a petrified bull.

With a "ding" sound, the hardened body of the Moon Spirit Marrow hit the skin of the petrified bull.

The sharp spikes only left a white mark on the opponent's body.

"V!"

Seeing the failure of the new product, Carl did not dare to be arrogant, and directly controlled V to slap it out.

The strength attribute of the petrified bull is generally 20 points, and with their tonnage, it is obviously not shaken by V's attack.

But their resistance to thunder damage is not high.

V's fist also has the effect of Thunder Fighting Fist, and this palm actually "paralyzed" the body of the petrified bull for a short time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Carl "took advantage of the opportunity".

The hardened Moon Spirit Marrow softened again, and then drilled into the cracks in the skin of the petrified bull according to Carl's instructions.

The appearance of the petrified bull is like a mechanical bull, and its metal shell is very hard.

However, there are some gaps in the joints of these armors.

They would not hinder the movement of the petrified bull unless it had "rust disease".

But today, Carl used these gaps to attack the petrified bull.

"Explode!"

The command was transmitted with psychic energy, and in an instant, the petrified bull, who was about to turn around and charge at Carl, knelt on the ground with a "thump".

Gray blood flowed out of the joints at its knees, and its leg bones were bent abnormally, looking like they were broken.

A stream of energy was brewing in the chest of the petrified bull. It was its petrifying breath, which could directly petrify people with a physical fitness of less than 13.

Carl's physical attributes did not need to worry about this, but it would be best if he could stop the opponent's attack.

After activating the dragon crystal, Carl jumped up and jumped directly onto the back of the petrified bull.

V's pair of mechanical hands grasped the two horns from behind, and at the moment when the petrified bull was about to spit out an attack, Carl pressed down hard.

The petrified breath was directly trapped in the soil, and when the petrified bull's attack ended, Carl controlled the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to drill out of the opponent's eye sockets.
