Aloy was holding back a lot of questions, and she was anxious to find more clues to resolve her doubts.
But at this moment, a muffled "boom" sound suddenly came from deeper in the theater hall.
Yongzhen hurriedly lowered his focus and warned vigilantly: "Someone is coming, be ready for battle."
"Aloy, calm down and focus on what's in front of you first!"
Under Yongzhen's stern warning, Aloy took a deep breath.
"I understand, let's deal with these sons of the beach first."
Yongzhen shook her head and laughed. After gathering her emotions, she took the lead into the hall behind the holographic theater.
The first batch of Shadow Calgar soldiers who entered the ruins was about 30 people. These soldiers were probably just the advance troops. They only had cold weapons such as spears and swords, so it was relatively easy to deal with them.
Yongzhen made a gesture, and Aloy immediately took off the longbow from his back, fully drew the bowstring, and pointed it at the officer who was giving orders.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow that flew through the air accurately hit the officer's heart. When he fell to the ground, the surrounding soldiers subconsciously began to look for bunkers to avoid long-range attacks.
Yongzhen locked everyone's life characteristics through the perspective function of Focus. When Aloy fired arrows one after another to attract the enemy's attention, she quietly started to move from the other side and slipped to Shadow Calgar without anyone noticing.
behind.
Since the officer died, the remaining soldiers hid behind the console in the hall to discuss countermeasures in a low voice.
"Ugh!"
The soldier on the outermost side suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and he only had time to let out a short muffled groan before falling weakly to the ground.
Yongzhen used the same method to assassinate 7 soldiers, and only then did Shadow Kalga realize that something was wrong.
"Be careful! There is more than one intruder, someone touched us... ugh!"
The gun hit the target first, and before the soldier who shouted a warning could finish speaking, the wakizashi thrown by Yongzhen hit the man in the forehead.
Suppressed by Aloy's bows and arrows from the front, he would be shot as soon as he appeared, and an elusive assassin was mixed up in the rear. The soldiers who were in a dilemma finally decided to fight to the death.
"Charge! We have the advantage in numbers, don't... ugh!"
Aloy smiled contemptuously at the leader No. 2 who had an arrow in his neck: "Number advantage? Then you have to be able to spread out the formation."
After entering a hand-to-hand battle, Yongzhen drew the sword from his waist and danced on the edge of the crowd with his superb martial arts to ensure that he would not be attacked by more than two people at the same time.
Standing up from the bunker means giving up defense against long-range attacks, and Aloy specializes in shooting the shadow Calgar who dance the most happily.
Before being approached by the enemy, Aloy and Yongzhen worked together to reduce the number of enemies to single digits.
There is no suspense in the next battle.
Aloy, who grew up in the mountains and forests, is very good at guerrilla warfare and can exert stronger combat effectiveness in such complex terrain.
Shadow Calgar has no Focus. After the torch is extinguished, he is no different from a blind man in this dark environment.
However, Yongzhen and Aloy could clearly see the scene in the hall, and the unequal fighting environment allowed the two to easily harvest the remaining enemies.
While Yongzhen and Aloy are fighting the enemy, Aletheia is trying her best to collect information in the hall.
"Okay! Enter the next room. I will seal the automatic door behind to block the pursuers."
Aletheia reminded: "Don't let down your guard. There are a large number of excavated entrances above this ruins. As you continue to explore, you will definitely encounter more enemies."
Yongzhen nodded solemnly: "Understood, just take it one step at a time. There should be more important confidential information deeper in the ruins."
…
The advance troops lost contact, and Bahawa, who had not taken the intruders seriously at first, became more vigilant.
He arranged for more Shadow Calgar soldiers to go to the ruins, and hundreds of soldiers surrounded the entrances and exits of the ruins.
Most of the troops were used to encircle and suppress the invaders, so the defense of the palace was naturally relaxed.
After getting rid of the obstruction of the secret sentry, Lu Xiao ignored the distracted guards below and walked straight from the beam to the gate of Ita and the palace where the queen was.
The commotion and shouting in the city made the young Itamen very nervous. He kept shivering in his mother's arms.
The little prince has endured pressure that he should not bear at his age. If this continues, his tense nerves will collapse sooner or later.
In order to show the most basic respect for "King" Itamen and the Queen, the guards arranged by Bahawa did not enter the two people's palace, but guarded outside the door of the palace.
The dormitory is an independent structure and cannot be entered directly through the beams.
Once here, Lu Xiao no longer needs to cover up. The eight guards in front of the palace door are Bahawa's last defense.
In this world where magic elements are inert, the magic power consumed by using spells will increase exponentially.
If the magic power consumption alone is not a problem, but when the magic power is doubled, the time required to gather the elements will also increase. It is difficult to brew big magic while being distracted during the battle.
But hiding in the dark and making a sneak attack is different.
Lu Xiao had enough time to prepare a large-scale spell and clear out the elite soldiers guarding the palace gate at once.
After struggling to carve out the last stroke of the rune set, Lu Xiao injected double the magic power to activate it.
Orange-red flames that transformed into dragon shapes spurted out from the formed set of runes, engulfing all the soldiers in front of the palace gate in just one second.
"Ahhhhhh!"
The pain of being burned by the high-temperature flames caused the soldiers who fell to the ground to let out shrill screams, which naturally aroused the ideas of other soldiers in the palace, and the news soon spread to Bahawa's ears.
This was of course Lu Xiao's intention, in order to reduce the pressure faced by Yongzhen and Aloy.
For Bahawa, the ruins are important, but they are far behind his own power.
When he left the palace and was attacked, Bahawa was so angry that he jumped up and down. When he received the news, he suddenly understood.
The other party is deliberately attacking the east and west. The invasion of the ruins is just a means to attract attention. The real target is Itamen and the queen.
"Don't worry about the ruins! Leave one squadron to guard the entrance, and everyone else will rush to the palace!"
Bahawa's face was uncertain: "We must not allow His Majesty and the Queen to be kidnapped, and the entire palace must be sealed off!"
If it were under normal circumstances, there would be no problem with Bahawa's judgment. As long as the palace was locked, it would be absolutely impossible for the intruder to escape unless he got wings.
But Lu Xiao happens to be someone who doesn't take the ordinary path.
Ignoring the charred corpse in front of the door, Lu Xiao kicked open the heavy palace door, and finally saw a mother and son with frightened expressions on each other's faces.
With a warm smile on her face, Lu Xiao politely touched her chest and saluted the two of them: "Queen, Prince Itamen, I am the traveler Lu Xiao, entrusted by the Sun King Yavid to come to greet you."
Itamen was still young, and when he heard that his brother had sent someone to save him, his face immediately showed a look of surprise.
Although the queen is not a wise woman, she has at least richer social experience than her son who is less than ten years old. She has also heard of many ugly and bloody palace struggles.
Blocking the Etamen behind her, the queen, who still retains her charm, stared at Lu Xiao warily: "What does Yavid plan to do with us?"
Lu Xiao smiled and explained: "No matter how you deal with it, as long as the little prince Itamen is willing to give up the false throne, you will still be the relatives of King Yavid."
"However, if you two cannot understand the situation clearly and still retain unrealistic ambitions..."
Lu Xiao didn't finish his words, but the queen already understood Yavid's attitude.
"We have no intention of competing with Yavid for the power of the king. Itamen is just a puppet pushed to the throne by Bahawa."
Two lines of clear tears flowed down the queen's face: "We just want to escape from this devil's cave and live a peaceful life."
Lu Xiao nodded solemnly and waved to open the portal leading to Yavid's scheduled location.
"That's easy. Your Highnesses, please come in. King Yavid is waiting for you opposite the door."
