On the Seven Towers

The last two of the people who were secretly discussing walked into a warehouse at the lower part of the city wall. The warehouse seemed empty, but when the two walked to the middle of the room, something in the air shook, and then their bodies began to become transparent from front to back, as if they had entered another world and disappeared in the room.

This was a kind of illusion barrier in the room. There were already more than a dozen people waiting here behind the barrier. They were dressed in various styles and looked very messy. These people were familiar faces to many people in Heimuguan. Among them were laborers, waiters, hunters, and blacksmiths, but the majority were newly recruited soldiers.

But in fact, they were all black guards and spies who had hidden their abilities and lurked early. The shortest of them had lurked for a few months, and the longest had even lurked for several years. However, a few days ago, everyone was awakened because of a special mission. The two people who came in were Baron Donia, who was in charge of logistics under Count Orgas, and Falco, a Dou Qi master who had crossed mountains and ridges and sneaked into Black Wood Pass from the cliff on one side of the pass a few days ago.

The mountains on both sides of Black Wood Pass were extremely steep, and there were special soldiers to guard them. People with weaker strength had no means to come down from the mountains. Generally speaking, master-level warriors and mages would not perform such tasks. If Falco himself had not had other missions, he would not appear here.

Baron Donia was the one who encouraged everyone in the room before. He was the longest-lurking spy in Black Wood Pass and the empire's longest-lurking spy in the kingdom. He came to the kingdom even earlier than the establishment of the Black Guard. However, since the establishment of the Black Guard, His Majesty the Emperor gave him the command of the surrounding lurking Black Guards. Everyone thought he was a low-level warrior with little ability, but few people knew that he was a high-level mage with hidden strength.

And Falco was a master sent by the emperor to carry out the sabotage mission. Originally, their plan was to assassinate Olgas or secretly open the door from the inside when the Empire attacked Heimuguan, but now, the appearance of the Chinese and Chinese cannons forced them to change their plans. Both Baron Donia and Master Falco felt that this magical weapon was more valuable than Olgas's head, so they were determined to take action.

Baron Donia took out a bunch of equipment from his storage ring, and everyone in the room changed their clothes and weapons according to their needs. When they were ready, four mages and twelve warriors appeared in the room.

Baron Donia said: "I have explored Olgas's arrangements. There is a dark elf and a high-level human warrior in charge of guarding the Chinese cannon. Olgas secretly arranged four teams in a nearby room to capture us, the Empire's "spies." "

"The enemy is four times ours?" a mage asked.

Baron Donia said: "No, we have two warriors who have infiltrated their team. If everything goes well for them, only half of the team will be left. The goal of you warriors is to hold these people back."

Seeing the faces of these warriors change slightly, he comforted them: "As long as our actions go smoothly, you only need to hold them back for more than ten minutes."

He took out four blocks with magic runes drawn on them. These blocks looked rough and powerful, which was inconsistent with the style of the Empire Kingdom. He handed them to the four mages and said, "The mages' task is to maintain a barrier to separate the room with the cannon from the outside. Master Falco and I will be responsible for dealing with the Chinese guards inside, and then set up the teleportation array. When we teleport the cannon away, I will let you release the barrier and lead the rest of the people to evacuate."

At this time, a soldier who was keeping watch at the door ran over and whispered, "The town is on fire!"

Baron Donia announced, "Action."

————————————————

The alchemical potion poured out by Banios was colorless and odorless, and did not attract the attention of others at all. Moreover, this liquid was very volatile and soon diffused in the air and was inhaled by others.

Their captain had already seen the fire in the town below, and he said disdainfully, "The incompetent imperial people can only play these tricks to attract attention. No matter how hard they struggle below, it's useless. We will stay here."

"Captain, it seems that someone is coming up." A soldier said.

"Imperial people! Prepare to teach them a lesson." The captain waved his hand, and everyone was ready to rush out.

At this time, Banos smashed another crystal bottle on the ground, and the potion inside splashed out and turned into gas at a very fast speed. This gas has a pungent smell, which is completely different from the previous potion. Both the captain and the other team members looked back at the place where the bottle was smashed in surprise.

"What's going on..." The captain got stuck halfway through his words, his body became very stiff, and the movements of the others also paused. They stood still one by one, and then maintained their original postures, like statues. If there was light in the room at this time, you can see that their bodies have turned into gray stones, completely lifeless.

Banos used an extremely brutal alchemical potion, petrified water. It is very expensive and requires two different potions to be combined to take effect, but it is difficult to resist when it takes effect.

Baños hurried out of the room. Although Baron Donia told him that he could avoid being petrified by covering his mouth and nose, he was still afraid. When he ran to the door, he suddenly found that his movements were becoming more and more difficult. He used his fighting spirit, hoping to add some strength, but found that the fighting spirit seemed to be blocked in his body and difficult to operate. Then he found that he had stopped and his body was fixed in a running posture. However, in this posture, he could not control his balance at all. Finally, he fell to the ground and knew nothing.

At this time, the same thing happened in another room. Another imperial black guard also sacrificed his life without knowing it and died together with a team of Count Orgas's elite.

Baron Donia ran through the room with his men and saw Baños lying at the door. He said: "Our companions destroyed ten times the enemy by sacrificing themselves. Now it's our turn."

The people behind him were silent, just holding their weapons and following Baron Donia, rushing to the room where the pneumatic cannon was. At this time, the Kingdom soldiers who were ambushing in the other two rooms had already run out. They hadn't figured out why there were so few people ambushing them, but the aggressive Imperials didn't give them time to think, so they rushed forward.

The forces of both sides suddenly collided on the steps of the wall.
