Flint: "On fire? You humans are really bad at fire prevention in your buildings. We dwarves have so many furnaces, but only have single-digit fires a year!"
As soon as the words came out, many people ran out of the burning alley, shouting as they ran: "The robbers killed people! The robbers killed people!"
The next moment, a tall warrior in full armor holding a two-handed sword rushed out of the alley at an astonishing speed and swung his sword at the man who was running at the end. The heavy sword directly cut the man in half, and blood spurted out.
The princess immediately shouted, "How dare you! How dare you massacre civilians in broad daylight? Tell me your name!"
The big man carried his sword on his iron shoulder guard, pushed up the visor of his helmet, squinted his eyes and observed the princess carefully: "Oh, she looks like a noble lady!"
Behind him, three fully armored soldiers emerged from the alley.
Not only were these guys fully armed, their armor was clearly of the same standard, and their weapons were all exactly the same.
Elizabeth also felt something was wrong, but she still maintained her dignity out of inertia and continued to scold: "How dare you! I am the Duke..."
The cat man covered Elizabeth's mouth, hugged her and started running, shouting as he ran: "Malika! Don't take a rest, something's wrong! Delay these people!"
The drow didn't like the sun, so she had been lurking in the shadows since the beginning. After all, she was a rogue, and launching surprise attacks from the shadows was her strong point.
The dwarf slowly emerged from the shade under the gallows, beating his shield with his fists and saying, "There are only so few people. I can handle them without a war hammer. The shield is enough." (He threw his war hammer in Tang's office and it was picked up by Wang now.)
The cat-man ran past the dwarf and said, "Fight if you want. We have no fire support!"
"Humph, your arrows can't do anything to these tin cans! Let me show you the dwarf's signature headbutt!" Flint patted the helmet on his head, completely forgetting that he was still a divine spellcaster.
Gotrek stood firmly behind the dwarf, and it seemed that the barbarian had found the best position for himself in this formation by his own instinct.
Flint: "You! These! Bastards! Your dwarf grandfather is here..."
A whole team of armored soldiers rushed out from behind the four enemies.
Flint: “Oh!”
He turned, slipped between Gotrek's legs, and broke into a run.
Gaotrik looked at the fleeing dwarf and then at the armored soldiers' shining full body armor, then he turned around and ran away.
The group followed the cat-man and rushed to the other side of the square.
Michaela: "There's a carriage! Requisition it!"
As she said this, she threw Elizabeth into the carriage of a carriage on the side of the road.
The driver of the carriage was unloading the goods, but when he saw the situation, he gave up the carriage, dropped his goods and went into a nearby stone house.
The cat man jumped onto the driving seat and shouted to the driver who was running away: "Stop! They are obviously going to set the house on fire. Look at the smoke in the back! Don't stay in the house, run!"
As she spoke, she whipped the horse hard, and the old horse pulling the cart slowly started to move forward.
The dwarf also caught up at this time, threw his shield and helmet into the carriage, then jumped hard and grabbed the edge of the carriage with both hands.
Gao Trik followed, grabbed the dwarf like an eagle catching a chick, threw him into the carriage, and then pushed the carriage to help speed it up.
With the help of the barbarian's brute force, the old horse started at an unprecedented speed. Seeing that the speed had increased, Gao Trick jumped on the carriage. The group was getting farther and farther away from the pursuing infantry.
Suddenly, two knights appeared at the corner of the road behind, holding shining lances and rushing towards the carriage!
Elizabeth yelled, "Scorching ray!"
The princess' spell was successful and the ray shot out, but because the carriage shook, the orange-red beam did not hit the knight, but hit the wooden window of a roadside building.
The wooden windows were immediately set on fire.
"I'll do it again!" shouted the princess.
At this moment, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed on the first rider's horse's buttocks. The sharp blade pierced into the gap between the knight's armor helmet and the neck guard. After a swish, blood immediately dyed the entire front of the knight's armor red.
After killing the first knight, the drow did a backflip and grabbed the second knight's helmet before he could react, and the dagger accurately inserted into the gap of the helmet again.
The second knight screamed and fell off his horse, covering his helmet and visor with blood gushing out.
The drow elf was not taken away by the knight. She grabbed the sign on the side of the road, completed a mid-air turn, and landed steadily back on the empty horse's back.
The remaining unridden horse was passively following its galloping companions and the carriage.
Drow Elf: "What's going on? These soldiers should have come up through the tunnel, how come they have war horses?"
Misha Sara turned around and said, "Why not? The guild's smuggling route can also send in giant orc war wolves!"
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and eight war horses carrying knights appeared, and most of these knights were holding crossbows.
Marika: "They must have discovered the princess's presence here! These cavalrymen are light cavalry, and they were supposed to be used to pass messages!"
The first wave of crossbow arrows is coming!
The dwarf stood up on the cart with his shield, blocking the largest barbarian.
However, most of the arrows were aimed at the princess, all aimed at her upper body! Two of the arrows hit the target accurately, but they were bounced off by the force field formed by the wrist guard.
The pursuers saw this and shouted, "Don't hit her, she's wearing armor! That's the latest bulletproof armor!"
Another pursuer cursed, "Casting spells while wearing steel armor? Are you kidding me?"
Princess: "It's not armor! It's a secondary sexual characteristic, asshole!"
She raised her hand again, ready to cast a spell—and then the Savage suddenly said, "Pumpkins on the cart."
Elizabeth: “What?”
The barbarian didn't explain, he picked up a big pumpkin and threw it at the cavalryman who was loading crossbow arrows on horseback. The barbarian was very strong, the pumpkin hit the cavalryman's head directly, and it broke with a crack. The cavalryman also fainted and slid off the horse.
Seeing this, the dwarf also picked up the pumpkin. He wanted to throw it himself, but after looking at his short hands, he immediately gave it to the barbarian: "You throw it, and I'll supply you with ammunition!"
Barbarian: “Let’s go!”
Another "Pumpkin Trebuchet" was fired, this time hitting the horse, knocking the unarmored horse to the ground.
The key point is that the pumpkin was very juicy. After it was broken, the stone road was covered with pumpkin juice. The horse behind might not have had its horseshoes nailed properly, so it slipped and fell to the ground and couldn't get up. The rider's head hit the curb and blood flowed out.
Eight light cavalrymen were all defeated by Pumpkin.
The barbarian wanted to take a pumpkin as a precaution, and grabbed back——
"Hey!" the dwarf yelled, "It's my head! No more pumpkins!"
Elizabeth stood on the empty carriage, keeping her hands raised: "What about me? Leave one for me!"
Chapter 48 Temporary Alliance Runs to the Laboratory
underground.
While the warg was running wildly in the sewer following the scent, the king on the wolf saddle made a new discovery about the scepter.
First, he discovered that when riding such a tall wolf and running wildly in the sewers, it is best to shrink your neck, otherwise you will hit your head. In order to gain this insight, he had two more bumps on his head.
Secondly, his understanding of the scepter has greatly improved.
"I know why you rejected a dragon when you saw it. This scepter has three functions from what I've determined. The first is that it allows you to speak the language of kobolds and goblins. The second is that it allows you to use dragon's breath once a day. The third is that it allows you to turn into a black dragon for one hour every day, the kind that spits acid."
The druid suddenly turned back into a werewolf, and because of the transformation process, the parts of her body would adapt, so the king started riding on her shoulders.
"Why did you change back?!"
"I want to talk! You can't talk when you're a wolf! You're so heavy! So this scepter can turn into a dragon?"
"It seems so now." The king continued to ride on the tiny druid with peace of mind. "This makes it understandable why the kobolds would obey the orders of the holder of this scepter. The kobolds have always believed that they are descendants of dragons, and all kobold warlocks, without exception, firmly believe that one day they will become dragons."
The werewolf carried the king and ran while asking, "What about the goblins? Didn't you say that the goblins were also under the command of the mastermind?"
"I don't know. That's the weirdest part. At least now I don't see any use for this thing other than being able to speak Goblin."
"What's the use? Would it make you a dragon if you didn't just say it?"
"I mean, somewhere that could have some extra influence on the goblins."
"Eh~"
The werewolf carried the king and ran two more steps, then suddenly asked, "Why did you ride up here without hesitation? This is clearly the first time we've met, and my motives are all made up by myself. I may not be here to track down the missing cats and dogs, but a minion of the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Wang: "Then I'm already dead. I would have been dead if you had slapped me with that bear palm just now."
"Then I might be doing you a favor on purpose to win you over! Besides, how can most people tell everything to someone they just met without hesitation?"
The king studied the scepter and said, "On the other hand, after I told you everything, you didn't kill me, which at least means you are not on the enemy's side. And I have learned from my teammates that there are very few druids in the city, and they are closely united in a society called Green Field.
"And what Erwin did is something that the druids would never allow. So I don't think the druids could have colluded with Erwin. You don't look like you're in the same group with the people from the Wanderer Guild, right?"
"Hmm~" the werewolf girl said in a long tone, "Are you... quite smart?"
Wang: “Of course.”
"No, I thought you were stupid before."
Wang: "I am the chief disciple! I excel in all subjects."
"Look, you're really stupid for bringing up something like this at a time like this."
"I am not stupid!"
"fool!"
The druid carried the king all the way forward.
However, because neither of them had the ability to detect stealth—Druids actually have it, but they need to cast a spell—they didn't notice that at this moment, someone was quietly watching them outside the range of the scepter's light.
**
A homeless man hid in the shadow of the sewer, silently watching this strange combination.
A 1.8-meter-tall human being riding on the shoulders of a 1.29-meter-tall werewolf who looked like a halfling was already a very strange scene. Moreover, the two men were holding a stick that emitted a huge light, which made the whole scene even more strange.
What was most shocking was what they said.
The mastermind who can use positive energy to cause mutations and the world-destroying crisis must be reported to the Shadow Thieves Headquarters in Monrovia.
The tramp stood up, and his right leg, which had been limping for a long time, seemed to have recovered all of a sudden.
He just disappeared into the shadows, leaving behind the sleeping bag and broken bowl that he usually treasured.
**
"I feel the smell getting stronger!" the werewolf girl yelled, "and there are goblins and kobolds and... strange smells. This smell is really disgusting!"
The king pulled the girl’s hair and said, “Whoa!”
"I'm not a horse!"
