As a result, I didn't sleep for a long time, and I woke up in a burst of shaking and calling.

"Brock! Brock! Wake up!!" Angelica's voice dragged me out of the dream.

"What's wrong?" I opened my eyes in a daze, realizing that it was still dark, and in front of me were Angelica's wolf eyes shining green in the dark.

"Outside, there are a lot of people surrounding this place!" Angelica stared at me and said seriously.

"what!?"

With just this sentence, I immediately lost my sleepiness. I threw the quilt out of the bed, rushed to the iron window and looked out of the building.

Under the bright moonlight, the outside of Ironthorn Prison was surrounded by mist at night, and black shadows swayed in the mist—there were quite a few of them.

No matter how you look at it, it is the momentum of the comer.

Is it the enemy's night attack?

At this time, I suddenly thought of the ghoul troops we encountered during the day and the condemned knights who rushed to investigate the polluted area.

Could it be that the army of ghouls we encountered at noon was actually for the purpose of ambush the Convicted Knights who went to investigate?

Did they originally plan to use the heresy biological incident to lure out the Condemned Knights' troops, and then attack the Condemned Knights' headquarters at night?

Considering that the convict knights who crusade against heresy will hinder their actions, they do have a reason to get rid of the convict knights.But... after all, the Convicted Knights are just a law enforcement agency that specializes in dealing with heresy biological incidents. Is it worth their trouble?

At the same time, the condemned knight stationed here seemed to have noticed this situation, and a warning bell sounded from the clock tower on one side of the castle.

"What's the matter, you're arguing in the middle of the night! It's hard for Miss Ben to fall asleep!" Feilan was also startled by the sound of the bell, she rubbed her eyes and got up and scolded.

"There is a situation outside, people are surrounding this place." I turned my head and explained to her.

"Huh?" Feilan woke up sleepily and came to the window, "No way?"

At this moment, a light from a lamp came in through the latticed window of the iron gate of the prison.

We turned our heads subconsciously, and saw the Saintess Hillier of the Sentence Knights looking at us vigilantly through the window.

"You little brat, what are you doing here?" Feilan put on a face when she saw her.

"Something happened outside, let me see if it has anything to do with you." Hillier said with a cold face, "Andrew trusts you, but it doesn't mean I won't doubt you at all."

"Aren't you short-sighted, little brat? If we plot something wrong, wouldn't you, the knight commander, come here and fall into a trap?" Feilan gave her a white look.

"Don't worry about it, I'm also the strongest fighter in the knight order. A black magician like you who looks like a weak character is impossible to be my opponent." Hillier narrowed her eyes at us, "But Judging from the situation, you seem to be relatively honest."

"Nonsense, we don't know those people!" Feilan gave her a blank look, "If you have time to watch us, why don't you go and look outside, no matter how you look outside, it looks like you are here to rob prison!"

"Thinking to rob this Iron Thorn Prison? What a joke!" Hillier snorted coldly, "This is the strongest prison in the entire continent, not one of them. These people are asking for their own death."

"So confident? Then what if they succeed in the robbery?" Feilan got into a fight with the doll as soon as she got angry.

"If they can really break in, I'll put my name down in the future—"

"Okay, all of you stop making noise, the point now is that this place is surrounded by people!!" I hurriedly stopped this meaningless quarrel.

Hillier glanced at me: "Okay, both of them have the power of heresy, and you, the orc, are the weakest chicken here, so it's no wonder you are so nervous. Ann, don't worry, this The Ironthorn Prison is blessed with a triple barrier, and no army, shells or magic can pass through it. When we deploy our manpower, they will only become living targets if they continue to surround here."

I was silent for two seconds, ignoring the little girl's evaluation of me for the time being, and then pointed outside and asked: "The enchantment you mentioned, are you sure there is no problem?"

"Of course, the enchantment here was jointly developed by the Church of the Holy Light and the chief mage of Saidian. There are [-] paladins stationed here to maintain it. Now that it is in a state of martial law, the manpower will be doubled. Unless the demon king reappears, Otherwise, it would be impossible to break." Hillier puffed out her chest triumphantly.

"Oh that's it..." I looked at the window again.

But a second later, I suddenly realized something was wrong, and turned my head back suddenly: "Wait, what did you just say unless?"

"Unless the Demon King is reborn." Hillier tilted her head puzzled.

"So as long as the attack is powerful enough... the enchantment here will still not hold up?" I asked her with wide eyes.

"Yes, but that's impossible." Hillier replied firmly, "The only one in this world who can reach that level of magic power is the legendary Demon King, but the Demon King is dead."

"You..." I faintly realized that the situation was not good, "How much do you know about the battle situation on the front line?"

"I don't know much about it. Our Convicted Knights are not a military organization." Hillier curled her lips, "And Andrew is usually in charge here."

I gasped immediately.

At the same time, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded outside the castle.

Your enchantment exploded (2)

?

Along with the sound of the explosion, the vibration was transmitted along the walls and the ground.

"What... what happened!?" Hillier was taken aback.

I suddenly turned my head to look outside the iron window, and found a shiny crack in the midair outside the Ironthorn Prison.

"Hey, your barrier is broken!" Feilan immediately glared at Hillier, "Isn't this completely unreliable!"

"How is this possible?" Hillier had a look of disbelief, opened the iron door and squeezed into the cell, and leaned over the iron window to look out.

But the enemy didn't even give us the time to doubt, and the next attack came one after another.

Under the moonlight, I saw a huge black fireball scatter the mist and hit the crack hard.

Accompanied by a sound like breaking glass, the glowing crack quickly expanded and then collapsed.

Countless fragments flickered in the air, turning into shimmering dust particles and drifting away.

Even if I don't know much about enchantment spells, I can tell at a glance that the enchantment surrounding this iron thorn prison has been broken.

With the shattering of the enchantment, the shadows in the white mist let out roars of excitement and launched charges one after another.

After they broke through the white mist, we were finally able to see the real body of these shadows—a large group of demons, and large numbers of demons rushed over like a tide.

Although their actions could not be called uniform, their charging targets could be considered unified.With the habit of demons killing each other, it is really unimaginable to act like this.

But the situation is so urgent now that we don't have time to think about how the enemy controls these demons to act like this.

"Hey, are there any refugees under this dungeon?" I patted the shoulder of Hillier, who was already terrified, "If there are any, call someone to evacuate them!"

The level of the dungeon we are in is the closest level to the ground, and the iron windows on the wall can still see the situation on the ground.If you go further down, the people below may not know what happened.

Only then did Hillier regain her senses, and murmured: "The refugees we help are basically housed in the knight dormitory and this floor. Andrew should be evacuating the refugees through secret passages now, and only the knights who are on standby live temporarily. Two floors below..."

Hearing her say that, I was a little relieved.The knights who have undergone rigorous training should have good adaptability, and they will take appropriate actions in the first time when an emergency occurs.Since the civilians placed here can be evacuated in time, there is nothing to worry about, as long as the incoming enemies are defeated.

However, Hillier suddenly changed the subject at this time: "However, if the barrier is broken... the situation in the bottom dungeon will become very dangerous!! Those prisoners will escape!!"

"What do you mean?" I froze for a moment, "Aren't all your prisoners locked in cells?"

"They are indeed locked in their own cells, but some particularly dangerous prisoners... have the ability to break through the cells! The outer barrier is connected to the seal of the inner part of the cell, and the cell is strengthened by the power of the barrier. We were able to successfully detain those prisoners." Hillier said more and more anxiously, "Now that the barrier is broken, the seal of the cell will also be affected, and those prisoners will take the opportunity to break through the containment!"

Hearing what she said, I realized the seriousness of the situation. When we came here, we had already learned from the deputy head Andrew what kind of monsters were housed in this iron thorn prison. If those monsters waited for an opportunity to escape, I am afraid that the danger will not be lower than those demons outside.

Worst-case scenario, we and the Convicted Knight could be flanked by enemy troops and escaped prisoners.

"No! I have to go down and have a look!!"

"Hey!"

After Xilier finished speaking, she grabbed the lantern and rushed out, running out along the corridor, and I didn't even have time to stop her.

"Brock?" Angelica cast a questioning look at me, waiting for me to make a decision.

I thought for a while, and grabbed the tomahawk: "We are underground now, so let's go to the nearest to support the underground!"

Judging from our position, it is obviously more efficient to solve the crisis below and then turn around to deal with the incoming enemies.

I led the two girls out of the cell, ran along the corridor to the stairs, and moved down to the dungeon.

After arriving at the next floor, we immediately saw Hillier in the corridor.

She stood in the middle of the corridor in a daze. In front of her were two condemned knights lying in a pool of blood. It seemed that someone had their throats cut.

I suddenly felt a chill all over - if a knight was killed here, it means that a certain dangerous prisoner has escaped from the prison and successfully reached this floor.

Subconsciously, I looked back and forth, but found no one in the corridor.

But at this moment, Angelica suddenly sniffed twice, then raised her head suddenly: "Above!!"

I raised my head subconsciously, only to realize that there was a strange black shadow above Hillier's head.

After being discovered by Angelica, the black shadow suddenly faded away, and a slender figure was hidden inside—this person has been lying on the ceiling like a spider, hiding his figure with some kind of weird spell.

The man moved, his limbs bounced down from the top with force, and the blade in his hand flashed and slashed at the back of Hillier's neck.

I subconsciously threw the tomahawk in my hand at the black shadow. The black shadow reacted very quickly and immediately gave up the attack. He turned his body hard in the air, narrowly dodging the spinning flying axe.

It was only then that Hillier realized that she waved her hand suddenly, and the holy light burst out in her hand, converging into the shape of a cross spear. She waved the cross spear made of light and swept towards the black shadow that attacked her.

But at this time, the black shadow stepped on the wall of the corridor, avoided the attack of the cross gun and changed its landing point, standing firmly in a position a few steps in front of Hillier.

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity... I almost got the saint's head." The other party sighed regretfully, moved the long sword in his hand to his lips, and licked it with his tongue. It’s still not very handy.”

With the help of the light, we can see the face of the other party clearly. It is a female dark elf in prison uniform. She is tall and has short hair. She is holding a long sword that does not match her. It should be snatched from a knight. over here.

I have the impression that this guy’s face is one of the portraits of the prisoners that Andrew, the deputy head of the group, showed us before. The murderer of the evil god, in order to study the curse, killed a large number of Helgian civilians, so he was imprisoned.

Hillier held the light-forged cross spear, pointed at the two knights on the ground, and asked Segmana in a low voice: "...Did you kill these two people?"

"Besides them, there are two more." Segmana said with a chuckle, "I have been imprisoned by you for five months, and the share of killings for these five months will be made up by you convict knights."

Your enchantment exploded (3)

"It was supposed to be a political negotiation with Nitrilan before you were tried..." Hillier's voice sounded like she was gnashing her teeth, "Now I can only order you to kill, you asked for it!!"

"It's ridiculous. I have killed no fewer Netrilan dark elves than humans. No matter how I negotiate, I will be a death penalty. You still expect me to change my mind?" Segmana laughed wildly, "The heart of the Holy Lady of the Holy Light Church, my lord Surely you will love this offering!"

As soon as the words were finished, Sigmana rushed out, as agile as a female leopard.

She didn't rush straight towards Hillier, but jumped towards the wall first, walked a few steps on the wall, and then kicked off the wall to attack from the side, her movement was so weird that it was hard to catch, Hillier had no time to use her hands The cross gun in the counterattack.

But when the sword in her hand was about to hit Hillier, a light-forged holy shield surrounded her on three sides suddenly appeared around Hillier, abruptly blocking the cut.

Hillier took advantage of the situation and stabbed the cross spear to fight back, but her movements obviously couldn't keep up with Sigmana's body skills - it can be seen that her talent for holy light is indeed unparalleled, which is far beyond that of Arsena, but when it comes to weapons Skills are obviously still relatively immature, and this dark elf rogue is not a very compatible opponent for her.

Segmana just turned around in the air, and easily avoided Hillier's stab.

This one walked back and forth, neither of them took advantage.

"Sure enough, it's not easy to kill..." Segmana landed between us and Hillier, and then suddenly turned her head to look at me, "Then let's get rid of those who are in the way first, in fact, I'm not very Those who like to sacrifice dirty orcs to my lord... but who told me to be a vengeful man."
