Turning his attention back to the hotel, the assassins upstairs suffered heavy losses from the elf knight's sneak attack and no longer posed a threat. It is estimated that they will be cleared out in a short time.
The battle downstairs got into trouble. Without the protection of armor, Ronan had to carefully avoid the opponent's attacks. Moreover, after the identities of the remaining orcs were discovered, they no longer hid their heads and tails. After pulling off their black robes, they became more fierce.
.
The most important thing is that Gul'dan finally couldn't hold it any longer. The original plan was for him to hide and strike suddenly at the opponent, just like when he defeated the Warren Knight, but the current situation no longer allowed him to hide his hand.
Although he downstairs didn't know what was happening upstairs, judging from the fact that Ronan and others had enough energy to go downstairs to resist them and the screams that kept coming from upstairs, the situation was not optimistic.
Ronan was holding an enemy's arm and using his body as a shield. Suddenly his heart palpitated. Without any time to think, he blocked the enemy in front of him.
Just hearing a burst of screams and popping sounds, the enemy blocked by Ronan was hit by a stream of acid. The black robe on his body was corroded in large areas, and the leather armor inside was not able to withstand much time before it was destroyed.
Penetrating, the acid poured on the skin and emitted a burst of white smoke, corroding the guy to the bone in a short time.
Ronan's eyelids twitched and he shouted loudly to the Nords around him:
"Be careful, there is a mage!"
As soon as Ronan finished shouting, a Nord guard who was knocking the enemy down with his shield and preparing to hit him was knocked backwards by a shock wave, knocking a comrade behind him back a few steps.
After Gul'dan took action, Ronan and others quickly fell into a disadvantage. They had to allocate a lot of attention to guard against Gul'dan's spells. Ronan was accidentally hit with a long sword in his left hand while avoiding the acid.
There was a scratch on the upper arm, but the wound was not deep.
The Nords' battle formations were very skillful. They defended each other and reminded each other. Although being timid could not cause harm to the black robes, it also caused the black robes to be unable to attack for a long time.
Gul'dan was also very anxious. Time was limited. Whether the pirates successfully escaped or were caught, the White Harbor Guard would quickly discover the situation here.
But there is nothing to be done about being anxious. After all, his academic skills are still short, his talent is mediocre, and his magic power is not advanced. The spells he learns are mostly functional spells, and the attack spells are only air cannons and acid splashes.
Functional spells such as Soul Search had helped him and Russell solve many problems, but they were powerless against the current situation. He couldn't bless the orcs around him with blood-burning spells. After all, they were his last subordinates.
People are just hired mercenaries and killers who are not under his command.
With the blessing of burning blood, he will die. Even if he can defeat these enemies, he is unable to take away the target because of his weak physical fitness and without his subordinates. As for the other soldiers of other races who ran away after the battle of Jackdaw Town, they have already been there.
After Lasse's death, he returned to Moran, and Gul'dan had no control over them.
The screams upstairs had disappeared. Gul'dan knew that nothing could be done, and he had begun to think about retreating. After encouraging the mercenaries around him to charge again, Gul'dan quietly exited the hotel with the help of several orc warriors.
As the soldiers and elf knights who had resolved the battle upstairs came downstairs, the battle had already concluded. Only some of the black-robed mercenaries fled the hotel in a hurry, and the rest became corpses on the ground. Ronan and others
There was no pursuit.
Almost all of Ronan's subordinates were injured, but due to mutual cooperation and protection, no one was killed. However, some of them were injured and were estimated to be unable to participate in the battle for a period of time.
After the battle, Belica found the owner and hotel clerk who were shivering in the room, gave them 5 gold coins as compensation for the damage, and then let them have some wine and some food.
The soldiers with less serious injuries piled the bodies in a corner, while the more seriously injured soldiers bandaged each other. Fortunately, the wound medicine produced by the system in Ronan's hand was still sufficient.
Ronan, Bjelica, and Sesma were sitting at a table staring at each other, while Daisy was helping Ronan apply medicine and bandage.
"It seems that you still have a lot of things to hide from me, Belica, who is this handsome guy?" Ronan said looking at Thesma who was sitting next to him wearing green armor.
"I am the captain of the third detachment of the Hinterlands Royal Guard, Thesma Phantom Feather. I have been ordered to take Her Royal Highness the Princess home." Before Belica could open her mouth, Thesma answered first.
"Your Highness, Princess?" Although Ronan already knew it, after all, Daisy was right next to her, so the modified look still had to be faked. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was pinched hard, and Ronan turned around with an innocent expression.
Looking at Daisy, as if saying: Why are you pinching me?
"Stop pretending. Uncle Belica told me about my mother and Jackdaw Town when we were upstairs just now."
In response to Daisy's sad expression, Ronan stretched out his right hand to hold Daisy's bandaged hands and smiled gently at her.
"I'll help you!" Daisy responded with a forced smile on Ronan's part.
Thesma on the opposite side raised her eyebrows twice when she saw this scene, but she was speechless under Belica's eyes.
"Captain Sesma has actually caught up with us a long time ago, but after many considerations, I never let him show up. Instead, I asked them to hide with us. We have a special way of contacting each other. It's normal that you didn't notice it.
"
"If Moran's side still takes action, tonight and tomorrow will be the last chance when we leave White Harbor. They will not be able to succeed after entering the Hinterlands. So I predict that they will let go in these two days.
I guessed it, so I asked Captain Sesma to live next to us, and to my surprise, I guessed it right."
"In that case, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"We should have been under surveillance since we entered the city. I originally wanted to capture the other party's commander alive. If we showed that we were prepared, they might be alert and not take action. But I didn't expect that the other party was still very cunning.
He hid in the middle of the team and ran away when the situation turned bad."
"Then what should we do when we leave the city tomorrow?"
"Judging from tonight's attack, this should be their last strength. They won't have the energy to attack us when they leave the city tomorrow, but they still have to be careful."
Ronan didn't speak, but he was still a little angry. After all, Belica kept many things from him, and if he was not careful tonight, he might cause casualties. However, judging from his experience during this period, Belica must be around him.
Not only that, but Ronan discovered that most people in this world don't care much about death, especially the lives of soldiers.
In order to achieve their goals, they don't care about sacrifice at all. Ronan has not yet adapted to this, but over time, he will probably become numb. Wasn't that true of the heroes in the previous life?
