Chapter 419: Intentional Trap
The painful chant echoed intermittently on the sunny summer afternoon. In the ruins of the devastated house, Magnison struggled with his hands and feet in distorted face, with countless beads of sweat the size of beans on his pale cheeks, and the bright red blood slowly penetrated from the wound pierced by the sword blades, soaking his clothes, gradually forming a small pool of dazzling blood...
The sword stabbed twice, and seemed to have avoided the fatal point on his body intentionally or unintentionally. He did not die immediately, but this was not good news. If the loss of blood cannot be stopped for a long time, death will be a matter of time sooner or later.
Death is not scary, what is scary is the process of waiting for death.
"Adelina, take this old guy with you and let's go!"
Xia Lan took a step back and raised her foot to flew Magnison on the ground towards Adrina, her eyes never left the man not far away from the front.
"Who allows you to leave now?"
Auston raised the cross sword in his hand and pointed it at them. Suddenly, the sacred knights wearing silver armor appeared, blocking all possible retreats for Xia Lan and the others.
"Captain Auston, why don't you let them go? Could you watch Master Magnison die at their hands?" Donnathus said anxiously, trembling and anxiously, shaking.
"Dry tongue!"
Auston frowned slightly between his eyebrows, and waved the cross sword with one hand tightly held in one hand. In just a moment, Donnashe flew out like a kite with a broken string and lost any sound on the lawn more than ten meters away.
"When will it be your turn to intervene in the matter of the Radiant Temple?"
Domineering, cold and arrogant.
Xia Lan, who witnessed this process, felt a trembling heart. The other party's intuitive impression was subconsciously reflected in her mind. He didn't know whether the other party was killing a chicken to warn the monkey or had a different purpose. In short, the result was extremely bad for them.
How should he choose in the current situation? The other party's attitude was obvious. He didn't care about Master Magnison's life at all, and the hostages seemed to have lost their effect!
Fight? If his body is still at its peak, you can try it. Now it is simply seeking death! The Knight of the Holy Tribe is different from ordinary warriors. Just using combat skills, it is enough to defeat most powerful people of the same level, not to mention the cooperation of the Knight of the Continent.
Since fighting cannot be just a way to escape, Xia Lan is worried about whether they can successfully escape from the encirclement of the Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy
It would be easier if Christopher was there.
Xia Lan thought to herself, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at Edrena who was guarding him carrying Magnison in front of him.
"I didn't expect that my guess confirmed the reality. I actually met you two of you who had subverted the fangs and had a unique big fish here!"
Auston sneered, his eyes narrowed into a narrow slit and stared at Adelina's cold vertical pupils, as if he didn't see Xia Lan behind her at all.
Adrina remained silent from beginning to end, and in her world, it seemed that only Xia Lan was worthy of her talk.
She didn't like the man in front of her very much, not only because he almost attacked Mr. Xia Lan just now. What's important is that the aura on his body made her very disgusted. There was always a bloodthirsty ** in her heart that could not be controlled, which made her wish she could swing her sword to kill the other person immediately.
Hearing Auston's words, Xia Lan immediately understood what the other party had misunderstood, or it was not a misunderstanding. After all, the evil aura scattered on Adelina, who had swallowed the Eye of Galbe, could easily make people suspect that the body that subverted Fangs.
What surprised him was why Auston had not attacked them at this point?
After thinking for a while, the doubts in my mind gradually came up with a general explanation.
It seems that he miscalculated a little. Auston did not care about Magnison's life. Otherwise, why did they take the initiative to take the initiative to launch a thunder attack when Xia Lan and the others appeared? According to normal logic, it seems extremely suspicious!
Xia Lan suddenly had a kind of intuition, and the other party seemed to have been deliberately distorting and misunderstanding his cognition.
"Adelina! Cover me and break through to the east harbour!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Xia Lan immediately made a quick decision, without considering the right or wrong of the result.
After hearing Xia Lan's order, Adelina, who was holding a strong wind, attacked the wary sacred knights in the east without hesitation. With just one blow, she slashed the opponent away. Xia Lan, who was closely behind, took advantage of the situation to pass through the encirclement and began to run wildly.
"Chase!"
Auston took a deep breath, his voice cold and solemn. Auston, who was always paying attention to Adrina, noticed her intention the moment she acted, but he had no time to stop her. Her speed was too fast, just like a black lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it attacked her subordinates.
As both powerful people in the law, he naturally knew the strength gap between the two sides. The little girl with vertical eyes was indeed very strong. Even he was not sure to defeat the other party. Moreover, he vaguely felt that the thrilling mysterious power in the other party's body seemed to have not been truly used.
He values his enemies, but it does not mean that he is afraid of the other party.
Only by deeply understanding one's enemies can we make full use of the strengths and weaknesses of our enemies and us in battle to continuously win victory.
He and his subordinates were chasing each other very quickly, and soon they caught up with the other two. However, Auston never ordered his subordinates to intercept and attack because he was waiting for the right opportunity.
Xia Lan's intuition is right. Auston does care about Magnison's life and death. If an alchemist dies because of them, the reputation of the Radiant Temple will inevitably suffer a serious negative impact. But on the other hand, if Magnison dies in the hands of subverting Fangs, Auston who kills them will undoubtedly become a hero!
Therefore, Auston's initial attacks and nonsense were all to stimulate the other party, and to make the other party think that he didn't care about Master Magnison's life at all. However, the little guy who almost died under his sword finally realized his intention. Unfortunately, they discovered it too late. From the time when Xia Lan's sword stabbed Magnison, they completely fell into their trap.
If Magnison died on the spot, he could take action unscrupulously; if they fled with Magnison, countless people would definitely witness it during the escape. When they chased to a deserted place, even if they killed Magnison by chance, they could shun the subvert Fang.
If you make a mistake, you will be wrong every step. Whether they escape or not, they will never be able to escape from their palms.
Seeing that the injured little guy was specially carrying a crowded place to escape, he seemed to want to use the lives of innocent people to make them afraid to take action, but who knew that this behavior was just in line with his wishes.
I really don't know if he should be stupid or smart!
Xia Lan's speed dropped a lot due to her weakening body, especially when she was still wrapped in her hand. He knew that sooner or later, and that he and Adelina would catch up with the people of the Guanghui Temple, so he chose a crowded place during the escape process. Based on the teachings and reputation of the Guanghui Temple, he concluded that the other party would never dare to attack them, and the facts proved that he was right.
The people from the Glorious Temple did not intercept the attack, but Xia Lan felt uneasy for some reason.
When I came to the harbor in the monsoon area again, it was clearly visible that the warehouse area was severely damaged in the distance, with a lot of bricks and stones and wood piled up, and the busy workers seemed to be carrying out reconstruction work; the port was still full of noise and prosperity, and sailors gathered around to discuss yesterday's commotion. Perhaps outsiders were surprised by the attitude of the people in Port Louis. Although such a big move happened yesterday, why is it as calm as usual today?
Don’t forget that this is a country where trade represents everything. The famous saying that time is money is almost engraved into the bones of every Esdaq Trade City-state. As long as the trade business is not affected, even if the city-state suddenly has a coup and war, it will be difficult to change their daily trade life.
Where there are people, there is business, where there is business, there is trade, and where there is trade, there are people from Esdaq Trade City.
Perhaps it is irony, perhaps it is praise, and this is exactly what all countries in the mainland have for the people of Esdaq Trade City.
Xialan and Adrina's escape all the way attracted the attention of many people, especially when you see the pursuits wearing armored suits of the symbolic sacred knights behind them, you can imagine the shocks of people.
"They want to go out to sea!"
