[It was said to be a bug. Although I am very grateful, I still have to update it in advance to avoid misunderstandings from readers. I will try to update it as early as possible in the future. Since everyone has reflected on the update problem, I cannot ignore it]

"Eni!" The laboratory door was kicked open with a slam. A fully armed soldier rushed in, pointing the sword gun in his hand at Enni who was still excited and shouted: "What's your relationship with the black magician? Why do you want to harm us!"

Shika took off the stick behind her back and blocked Salin, but Neris hid behind Salin.

Sijia was awakened. She looked at the soldier in shock and shouted: "Keep, you are crazy, put down your weapons!"

The soldier named Ken said in grief and anger: "Sir, he is a spy, Quinn has died in battle. Those arrows..."

Quinn is dead?!

Sijia was a little dazed. Quinn was the only sword master under her who was about to break through. He could become an intermediate sword master in at most three months. He was the strongest martial arts among the nine subordinates. How could such a soldier die first?

"What's wrong with the arrow?" Salin asked calmly, feeling vaguely inappropriate.

"You see it yourself!" Ken took a sac from behind and threw it over. Shika caught it, pulled out a feather arrow from the sac, but saw that the metal arrow had cracked. She bounced her fingers gently, and with a click, the arrow completely shattered.

Saling immediately understood that in order to speed up, Aini activated the formation with all his strength and used level five magic cores to process the magic patterns on the arrows. This was not something that he, a useless mage without magic strings, could control.

If a person with a magic apprentice level can refine 110,000 arrows in a day, what else do those alchemists do?

"Keep, don't panic, how many arrows have been scrapped?" Salin did not doubt Aini, and there was no need for Aini to collude with the Black Magician. If he had colluded with the Black Magician, he would have been attacked by himself long ago.

Sijia stood up and put on her armor while saying to Ken: "Where is the Baron?"

Since the arrows were scrapped in large quantities, the city wall would definitely not be able to defend. Salin is not a spy, and this Sja can judge, otherwise Salin could easily kill himself just now. Once he died, the four of them could control the laboratory. With the help of magic potions, the castle would be echoed inside and outside and be broken with one blow.

Ken really wanted to kill Aini now, but Sja did not give an order. He could only wait for Aini fiercely and replied, "Sir, take people to the tower."

Sijia put on his helmet and turned to Salin and said, "Master Salin, the tower is the last stronghold of the castle. Are you going?"

When Salin heard that the city wall was broken, his heart was cold. The tower was dead and could only hold on, and there was no way out. If he didn't go, even if Sja trusted himself, the Baron would not believe it.

Kill Sijia and escape? There are tens of thousands of black puppets outside.

"Eni?" Salin called softly.

Aini's face turned bloody and his illness became worse. He coughed heavily, put the magic potion configured on the table into his skin, looked at Ken coldly, and said, "I'll go to the tower. This is just an accident. If you want to die, I'll die with you."

"Okay, I'll go too." Salin signaled to let Ska lead the way, and he followed Shika carefully, but he didn't get close to that person. The other party had just died of a brother and was extremely unstable in spirit. Salin didn't want to die unjustly.

But Eni walked in front with a sneer, not caring about the gaze that was willing to eat people.

This matter was his mistake. Once the castle was broken, everyone died, so what else did he care about.

Neris noticed something was wrong and said softly behind Salin: "Master, is the enemy coming in? Otherwise, let's run away." For Neris, running away is common in the demon plane. Of course, there is no need to fight when he can run.

"If it really doesn't work, just run away." Salin did not agree to Neris' request. If he ran away, if the people in the castle were not dead, he would definitely be regarded as a spy sent by the black magician. No one would listen to his explanation at that time. Now there is something to escape.

Skochenya cannot go back. The Tanggulas Empire is the old nest of the Holy See. Should I go to the Yunliu Empire? The predecessor of the Yunliu Empire was the Fourth Dynasty and I hate the black magician the most. If I go by myself, I will not have a good ending.

Ken suddenly pulled out the short sword from his waist and put it on Aini's neck. Aini still just sneered, stalking up, and walked towards the tower.

Neris followed Salin with a bitter face. If she could escape, she would have run away long ago. She and Salin had a soul contract. If Salin was killed, her fate would only be even worse. For the demon, death is not the end.

There is an air corridor between the Magic Laboratory and the tower without having to pass through the ground. Looking down from the wide stone bridge, the scarecrows have flocked in and gathered towards the tower.

There are four aerial corridors that can reach the tower. If there are enough soldiers in the castle, there is no need to retreat into the tower in such a hurry. There are four tall buildings around the tower, all of which can be used to resist the invaders. However, in the case of serious shortage of soldiers, everyone can only concentrate their efforts and make the final resistance in the tower.

The ground entrance of the tower has been sealed by a metal gate. Now the scarecrow wants to attack, but instead needs to climb up from these four buildings and pass through the stone bridge before entering the tower.

At the end of the stone bridge is a platform, with alchemy crossbows placed on it. Four alchemy crossbows are turning around and aiming at the stone bridge. Anyone who wants to pass through the stone bridge will have to pay a heavy price.

When he entered the tower, Salin saw Baron Cook covered in blood, surrounded by a group of soldiers, sitting on the ground, obviously injured. There were not many soldiers left in the tower, with less than a hundred people, and probably lost a large number of people in the city wall. Franmine's Nut Mercenary Group was missing two people, and he and four mercenaries who used Qin Yin's eight-faced sword also protected the Baron. If the Baron died, they would not survive.

In fact, these soldiers did not collapse because of the habits formed by training. As long as Baron Cook does not die, these soldiers will feel hope.

Entering the tower, Ken kicked Aini's back, and Aini fell to the ground. Salin released a magic that had been prepared long ago - Frost Formation.

Ken was frozen to the ground. He fought hard for a while, his sword energy was exhausted, and his resistance to first-level magic was astonishingly low. With this move, the soldiers around Baron Cook exploded, raised their weapons and were about to rush over.

"Stop!" Salin shouted loudly and said to Baron Cook coldly: "Baron, we are not prisoners. Is your soldiers despising the dignity of the mage when they do this?"

Salin couldn't see any kindness in the past. He knew that if he didn't suppress the scene, he might immediately become prisoners. In order to increase his morale, Baron Cook would not care whether he was a spy or not. Only by being tough and making Baron Cook care about it can he turn the situation around.

As he spoke, a white light had already lit up in his hand, and at the same time, he inspired three magic spells on the magic robe - the Invisible Shield, the Giant Strength Technique, and the Ring of Resistance. The magic core embedded on the belt had been replaced by level five, enough for him to squander.

At this time, Shika also poked the stick in his hand hard towards the ground. With a bang, dust fell on the ceiling and the ground actually cracked.

Sja frowned, Baron Cook said nothing, Salin suddenly smiled and said to Ken, who was controlled by the Frost Formation: "Do you know how stupid you are? No one of you can survive without me. You thought that by guarding the tower, you could wait for the rescuers?"

Ken looked at Salin angrily, Salin said to himself: "A adult, without drinking water, can only live for seven days. If he still has to fight, he will sweat, his blood will gradually dry up, and he will die faster. If I were a spy, I wouldn't have to follow you at all. It's only a matter of time to sleep you to death."

The soldiers who were eager to try their best changed their faces when they heard Salin's words and their weapons drooped. Salin is a magician who can make clear water. He even heard that magicians can also make food. If Salin is really killed, there will be nothing to eat in the tower.

"What's even more stupid is that you just kicked the Clyde family. If you kill him, as long as the news is leaked, no one in your family will survive. If I guess right, you will be added to the imperial capital, right?"

Ken looked at Salin stubbornly. He could no longer speak, and he struggled to use the last bit of remaining sword energy to fight against the freezing effect caused by the Frost Array.

"Maybe the Baron will hide the secret for you, but I think there is no need for the Nut Mercenary Group to offend the Clyde family for you, a soldier? Do you want to kill everyone to silence?"

If Ken hadn't been frozen, he would have sweated now. Salin finally said the key point in one sentence. He could not kill everyone here, that is, he could not kill Aini. Killing Aini will not only die, but also affect his relatives.

"What's even more stupid is that you actually believe that this is a dead end. Are you desperate? You want to give up on yourself? I think it doesn't matter if you offend me, a little magician?" Salin said aggressively, looking at Baron Cook.

Baron Cook was still silent, Salin sneered: "I am a magician. Even if I die here, there is a way to get retribution for you. Lord Baron, if you don't trust me, it's better to do it now. If you wait for me to do it first, then you are the stupidest person."

Shika's other hand had already pulled out the boomerang. As long as Salin gave an order, she would immediately cut off a head, making Baron Cook understand that Salin is not easy to bully. She didn't bother to pay attention to what Salin and the Baron were talking about. Anyway, the double-shot sword was tense, so it was definitely not a good thing.

"What do you want?" Baron Cook asked quietly. He wanted to control Salin and help him escape. Now it seems that this little magician is too smart and directly challenged his authority. In this case, it is obviously not good for him to turn against him.

"I just want to ask Lord Baron, do you want to kill me to silence me?"

"Silence? Master Salin, you're joking." Baron Cook tried his best to suppress his inner impulse. This little magician was too ignorant of the importance. If he continued to force himself, he would not be able to step down.
