On the Seven Towers

Not long after Xiao Chen released the freezing magic, the two horses they were riding were exhausted, and the four of them had to walk.

Xiao Chen and Tasia both used flying skills on themselves, and both floated one foot above the ground. Roger and Belia pulled them respectively, relying on fighting spirit to move forward quickly. In the rainy night, this is far faster and safer than using the flying technique by the mage himself.

"Mark!" Xiao Chen said. With his night vision ability, he was the first to notice a white cloth hanging on a big tree in the distance. "After passing there, we will enter the ambush area!"

He glanced back, and at the end of his gaze there seemed to be some figures dancing among the trees.

"Let's go, we still have one last stretch to go, and we'll be safe after that."

"Will all those who catch up be killed?" Tasia suddenly asked.

"Then it depends on the choice of those in the Temple of Nature." Tasia hid her face in the shadows at night, but she could not hide it from Xiao Chen's eyes. He saw a trace of sadness on her face. He Asked: "A little intolerable?"

"That's not true. How can the Alonso family sympathize with the enemy?" Tasia laughed and said, "I have seen a lot of these tricks. It turns out that when I was in my hometown, I felt that I could feel better if I left those annoying people and things. Take it easy. But I saw more absurd comedies in the capital, and today, I starred in one of them again."

"You, the heroine, do you feel the same way for the supporting characters who are about to leave?"

"It just feels worthless, for them and for us. These people are used as pawns in the power game by the superior priests. You and I are just slightly more important pawns than them. In the final analysis, all of us humans are gods. Pawns in the game.”

"Perhaps this is the reason why the Masters of the Seven Towers are unwilling to give up? I would rather be a screw on the machine, where it should be, than be a chess piece and be pinched and taken here and there." Xiao Chen replied.

Weber was also flying, but as a high-level mage, he was more familiar with the control of magical energy and could reach relatively fast speeds without anyone flying the kite for him.

Seeing the four people in front of him getting closer and closer to them, something stirred in his heart.

"This is getting more and more wrong today," Weber said to Raul.

"What's wrong? It's almost catching up. What are you talking about again?" Raul asked without stopping.

"Yepez disappeared, and the few who ran in front didn't catch up. What's even more strange is the people in front. Didn't you find that they are very different from other people who escaped? They are very calm and always know what they are going to do. Where are you going? Have you ever chased such a target before?"

Raul suddenly stopped and raised his hand, and the assassins around him stopped.

He frowned and thought: "When you said that, I also felt something was wrong. I felt this way at the time, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Well, where is it? By the way, it's a carriage! And there are footprints!"

"What carriage?"

"We checked the overturned carriage, and it was so clean inside! You know, those nobles and mages are very good at enjoying themselves. They will prepare wine and food in the carriage, not only for themselves, but also for entertaining other people. friend. But there was nothing in that carriage, like, like..."

"Deliberately reducing the weight also reduces the possibility of spilling food and causing trouble. It is specially used to escape!" Weber said.

"Yes! There are also those footprints. The general team will always hesitate at the fork in the road to discuss which way to go, leaving some messy footprints. But they chose the fork in the road without hesitation, as if they already knew how to go. ." Raul's face became very ugly when he said this. He glanced at the dark forest around him, as if someone would jump out from among the trees at any time.

Weber's expression was equally solemn, "It seems this is a trap. We can't go any deeper. I'm afraid Sancho saw it, and the four guys who escaped probably saw it too. We are the only ones who are still going down stupidly." Chase!"

"Damn it! Why didn't Sancho say anything?"

"I think either he doesn't have much confidence, or he is part of this plan. Besides, what does our life and death have to do with him?" Weber sighed, "Haven't you noticed yet? All those left behind are followers. Lord Yepes’ people.”

"Let's stop our actions now. We won't chase this guy any more!" Raul said decisively. "Everyone, spread out and be alert. Let's retreat."

As soon as an assassin took two steps out, two arrows struck silently from the darkness. He quickly avoided one and chopped off the other, but was hit in the shoulder by the third arrow.

"Enemy attack!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was shot in the head by a fourth arrow.

His roar was like blowing the horn of attack. Dense arrows were shot from all directions. Far more than when they ambushed Xiao Chen.

"Follow me and break through to the west!" Raul shouted.

What responded to him was a more intensive shooting.

Raul summoned his fighting spirit, burned it to the extreme, and carried the arrows forward. He wanted to kill the guys in front who were retreating and shooting arrows. However, these people are very experienced attackers. Even in a dense forest, they can still keep their distance from him despite constant attacks.

On the other hand, Weber behind him manipulated the fire spear technique like a flying fire snake, killing several enemies while shuttling back and forth. However, the arrows shot by the enemy were deflected by his shield.

The sound of the pattering rain was mixed with low or high screams, and the assassins around him fell one after another.

Raul split several arrows in vain again, and said in a deep voice: "Old man, I have bad news for you, I know who these people are. I used to be in the Knights Templar, and I know that there is only one team in the world that fights like this, and that is the Knights of the Wind!"

"What?!"

"We must have been involved in a very disgusting incident, and they will not let us go today. But you must go out and spread this matter, tell Lord Yepes and Altu! Otherwise, we will die like mice silently."

"But..."

Before Weber finished speaking, Raul grabbed his collar and belt, and threw him into the air with all his fighting spirit, and he himself was shot into a hedgehog at that moment because he lost his fighting spirit defense.

Weber saw Raul's end in the air, but he had no time to be sad. He performed the flying technique again in the air and prepared to escape from here.

He just adjusted his posture, and when he looked up, he saw a figure blocking him in front of him.

"Sorry, I can't let you escape." The person who came was Xiao Chen. He stretched out a hand and pointed at Weber. The magic that had been prepared for a long time burst out instantly.

For Weber, who was frightened one after another, heard a huge secret, and saw his companions die tragically, the magic of the heart of fear played a 200% effect. Weber screamed and his magic power went out of control, and he fell from the air.

Roger jumped up from the woods, and his long sword drew an arc of light under the dim sky, and he killed the falling wizard with one sword.
