The driver on the carriage ordered the horses to stop immediately, and the packhorse turned sideways, causing the carriage to brake at an extremely fast speed.
The screeching sound of brakes and the wooden wheels of the carriage left two long traces in the swamp near the Spire Palace, while also splashing large amounts of muddy water.
Ryan instinctively felt something was wrong, his eyes sharpened, and his strong and powerful arms suddenly grabbed Juan and pulled him behind him.
"Huh?" Juan was very surprised. He subconsciously looked towards the carriage.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage opened, revealing five rows of black muskets, all of which were pointed at Lane, who was about to come out to inspect the goods.
Before Juan could react, five rows of muskets on the carriage fired at Ryan almost at the same time. The dense barrage of roaring fire instantly completely engulfed Ryan's figure!
"Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"
Hundreds of muskets fired continuously, and there was only the sound of musket shooting outside the walls of the entire Spire Palace.
"Your Excellency Ryan... what are you doing? Your Excellency Ryan?!" Juan only felt a kind of fear coming from the depths of his heart. He looked at Ryan standing in front of him and his eyes widened: "
How could you do this because of someone like me?!"
Juan's voice was drowned in the volley of muskets, and all the young Sun Knight heard was the dense gunfire and the sound of Ryan's roaring with gritted teeth.
"Uh! Uh! Ahhhhh!!" Ryan's voice was painful and distorted, until all the gunshots stopped, and a hundred muskets had fired all their bullets.
A light blue light curtain completely enveloped the area in front of Ryan. One of his hands was stretched out in the air, his temples were tense, and the spiritual light in his eyes was spinning in his eyes like nebulae and whirlpools.
Even burst out.
A hundred musket bullets were just hovering in the air. Ryan's psychic power had wrapped all the bullets, and within the light blue light curtain, the bullets just stood still.
Ryan's performance far exceeded the coachman's expectations. He looked at this scene dumbfounded and simply didn't know what to do.
"Uh ah ah!!!" Ryan roared suddenly, and he pushed his hand forward hard: "Try this!"
The bullets flew backwards under the influence of psychic power! This storm of bullets flew backwards toward the carriage intact under the influence of Ryan's power!
"Bang! Bang bang bang~" The entire carriage was shrouded in a storm of bullets. The appearance and structure of the carriage were riddled with bullets. The coachman and the two free people hiding in the car were shot several times and died on the spot.
The packhorse was frightened and ran wildly, disappearing deep into the woods.
"What!" Ryan stood there and breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled self-deprecatingly: "My shooting skills are quite accurate!"
"Sir...Sir Ryan?!" Juan stood behind Ryan blankly.
"Why did you make that sound, Juan?" Ryan gasped, and he stood up straight: "I am the lady's chosen champion, Ryan Macado, it's just a few bullets, no big deal!"
"But……"
"It is my duty to protect my subordinates!" Ryan looked fierce, took a few deep breaths and stood up. There is no problem in using his psychic power to intercept a hundred bullets at a time without preparation, but there are certain limitations.
With so much consumption, he felt that his temples must have been covered with veins: "Damn, what's going on? Why did the transport team suddenly open fire on me?!"
At this time, the incident near the castle had attracted almost everyone's attention. Everyone immediately surrounded the fallen carriage. A dozen knights and a large group of serf infantry cautiously approached under Ryan's order to check the strangeness of the carriage.
.
The people on the carriage had already been beaten into pieces by Ryan's counterattack. There were bright red bloodstains on the carriage and on the ground. The knights looked at the expressions of the deceased and felt something was wrong. The expressions on the faces of these three people were not extreme.
The fear is not unwillingness, but expressionless. They have neither the unwillingness nor the regret of failed assassination, nor the fear of dying. The assassination of Ryan seems to have nothing to do with them.
"Take off their clothes!" Ryan narrowed his eyes and immediately ordered: "Take them all off."
The soldiers obeyed.
When the clothes of the three freemen were stripped off, the knights' eyes widened in surprise.
The three people had a chaotic octagonal emblem imprinted on their heads, chests, or backs.
"Chaos?" Ryan's face gradually changed, and he lowered his head and thought.
The recapture of Mousilon is a war between humans and the undead. What does it mean for Chaos to appear here at this time? Does Chaos want to gain benefits from this war? Or does Lane's existence have attracted the attention of Chaos?
"Sir Lane, what is this?" Jerod came to Lane's side: "Are you not injured? This seems to be an assassination. Someone intercepted the transport team, controlled the three serfs and asked them to load a hundred rounds of muskets.
Okay, bullet, this is a deliberate murder, it seems... the corruption of Chaos?"
"It should be, but why did Chaos appear here?" Ryan nodded, his brows furrowed.
The emergence of Chaos will add countless variables to the recapture of Mousilon. He knows the power of Chaos very well. If Chaos really intends to participate in this war, then Ryan is not prepared enough.
Is this assassination a prank by Chaos, or a test?
"Strengthen the alert! Call Sir Bertrand and the wood elf rangers to come see me!" Ryan immediately ordered the bodies of the three free people to be burned with flames. After careful inspection of a hundred muskets, no corruption was found.
After finding traces, Ryan used psychic purification and temporarily stored these guns in the warehouse to await inspection by the dwarf engineers.
And in a grove of swamps two kilometers away from Ryan's place, a black two-headed crow turned into a rickety, abnormally old, hunched and shriveled Chaos Demon was watching this.
Everything, it witnessed its carefully designed assassination plan being cracked by Ryan. This human hero, the chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake, actually relied on the energy of subspace to directly block a hundred musket bullets!
Interesting, it’s so interesting. Praise to Saint Tzeentch! The two-headed crow spreads its wings and the sound of croaking is a sound of praise to the evil god of chaos.
As the greatest demon under Tzeentch, Kalos the Weaver of Destiny has many titles, including "Oracle of Tzeentch", "Guardian of Destiny", and "Scoffer of Destiny", but its most glorious title is
Still the "weaver of destiny".
The Evil God of Chaos, Tzeentch has countless great demons under his command, and many of them have powerful powers. Why can Carlos securely remain the number one demon?
This has something to do with Carlos' current appearance.
In the Castle of Despair in the center of Tzeentch's Crystal Labyrinth, there is a place that contains all the knowledge and mysteries of the universe. That place is called the Well of Eternity. Under the well, there is unfathomable foaming black water. This black water The water contains endless knowledge, but it also hides endless dangers. Even Tzeentch, the evil god of chaos, dare not touch this black water.
The coexistence of opportunities and dangers in challenges is the only thing that Tzeentch fears. The cunning Lord of Destiny is unwilling to take risks himself and decides to let his servants serve as pathfinders. At a suitable opportunity, Carlos is captured by Tzeentch Pushed into the Well of Eternity.
Ever since Carlos struggled to climb out of the deep well, it has become what it is now. It has become extremely old, hunched and shriveled, and its originally huge wings have shrunk into short stumps and become two. It has a small head, but it can see secrets that even Tzeentch has not been able to discover.
The head on its left can clearly foresee the future, and no conspiracy can escape his eyes, and it has such infinite ability to see the future. The head on its right can look back at the past with an objective attitude, the power of the past and the future. When he entered his shriveled and twisted body when he passed through the well, having this kind of foresight also came at a heavy price. As a price, in reality it was blind on both ends. He could not detect the passage of time and could only perceive events. will happen or will end at some point.
In the Well of Eternity, Carlos gained insight into what true eternity is, and how the world is destined to be destroyed at the hands of the Chaos God. Since then, this Chaos Demon has become Tzeentch's favorite, and he often sits on Tzeentch's side. On his right hand, while stirring the dark well water, he whispered secrets to Tzeentch that only it could see. These secrets made Tzeentch's understanding of eternity and control of his own plans deeper and deeper.
Carlos also gained infinite knowledge in the Well of Eternity. It knew all the existing spells and various runes, signs and secret words with mysterious energy. This ability made him the most appreciated envoy and subordinate of the evil god. The greatest demon, Tzeentch, therefore handed over his most powerful demon army, the Eternal Legion, to the command of Carlos. Only the most critical plans and the most terrifying tasks required the deployment of Kalos and his Eternal Legion.
Carlos originally thought that its carefully planned assassination operation could at least harm Ryan, but the current situation is not unacceptable. The great demon of Tzeentch turned into a crow and stood on the branch, thinking about its plan.
This is the agreement between the great and all-powerful Saint Tzeentch and Mathurbad, and the demonic army of Tzeentch will defeat Lion.
And now, this plan is about to begin!
Kalos screamed silently, and at its command, the rift between the warp and the real world began to tear open.
The war is about to begin!
On the other side, Ryan and others were still thinking about what happened outside the city. Ryan instinctively thought that there must be a reason for Chaos to appear here, but the current few clues did not allow him to guess what happened. , he could only infer for the time being that Chaos had participated in his war to regain Mousilon.
When he lowered his head and wanted to continue thinking, a violent throbbing sensation made Ryan look up to the sky without thinking.
The sky near the Spire Palace is undergoing terrible changes.
The first thing that caught the eyes of the defenders were dozens or hundreds of Pink Horrors, the lowest-level existence among the Tzeentch demons. Their bodies would show mottled and chaotic colors.
Most humans have no idea what this is, but that doesn't stop them from issuing warnings.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
The entire garrison of the Spire Palace immediately began to operate. The soldiers on the city wall began to prepare for battle. The serf archers, serf crossbowmen and musketeers immediately raised their long-range weapons and fired at these strange things.
These Tzeentch demons seemed to be very fragile. They quickly screamed and exploded into pieces under the attack of arrows and musket pellets. Even a small number of pink horror demons climbed to the top of the city and were immediately killed by the soldiers.
"What's this?!"
"I don't know, maybe some cuties in the forest?"
"Just shoot anyway."
The serf soldiers on the city wall soon discovered that these pink terrors, which were constantly changing their shapes, were simply vulnerable. As the battle progressed, they began to relax.
As it turns out, this was a terrible mistake.
Large numbers of pink terrors appeared from the void, and their numbers were increasing. Because these pink terrors were too weak, after the defenders activated their artillery, thousands of pink terrors were quickly attacked.
Massacre, they do not pose enough threats to the Spire Palace.
But they have absorbed enough energy!
As more and more Pink Horrors died in battle, the winds of chaos they released when they died began to condense near the Spire Palace, and a huge crystal gate appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Colorful but extremely turbid winds of chaos are constantly injected into the crystal gate. The treacherous Chaos Demon set the gate just outside the range of the artillery.
After losing a total of 20,000 pink terrors, the door was opened.
The Demon Army of Tzeentch officially appeared from the gate. When the gate opened a crack, a small, flat body of demons with wings and tails flew out of the crystal gate in groups.
The blue figure almost covered the sky, and then glided directly towards the guards on the city wall!
Ryan and others had already retreated to the castle urgently. He raised Thor's hammer: "That's the Screamer! Shoot! Soldiers! Focus on them! Pay attention to cover!"
"Yes!" the serf infantry responded loudly, and the soldiers began to focus fire on these flying monsters. In the dense barrage and arrow rain, these flying demons fell in pieces, and their bodies were too fragile to withstand any impact of mortal weapons.
A blow, but as they approached the city wall, Ryan immediately shouted: "Pay attention to cover, soldiers! Get down!"
Most of the serf soldiers followed Ryan's orders, but many were still slow.
In the blink of an eye, the bodies of these soldiers seemed to have been cut by blades. They were turned into fragments by the sharp fangs, sharp angles and thrusts of the flying monster. During the bloody storm, more than twenty human soldiers turned into pieces.
A pile of broken corpses.
The long-range firepower of the defenders began to be greatly suppressed, because all the long-range infantry no longer dared to get up from behind the wall stacks to face these creatures. Only the dwarf infantry could barely fight back.
"What's going on?!" The sorceress Theresa and the Lake God Witch Morgiana both rushed to the top of the city. Before Theresa could realize what happened, she was pulled into his arms by Ryan.
The position where the sorceress was originally standing flew past five screamers in a row. An ice witch apprentice did not react and was cut in half by the Tzeentch demon. Blood spurted everywhere.
"Tzeentch Demon!" Morgiana immediately recognized the enemy, and the Lake God Witch immediately released a life-based magic: "Thorn Shield!"
A shield composed of thorns covered the city wall, resisting the attacks of these flying demons.
"Frost Nova!" Teresa also immediately chanted a spell, and the sorceress's magic exploded among the flying monsters, freezing dozens of screamers.
The pressure on the city wall was relieved, and the human army began to realize that something was wrong. Knights and knights' retinues began to join the battlefield, and the prophets of the Lake God chanted magic and prepared to fight the enemy.
"This is the Demon Army of Tzeentch!" Ryan's eyes gathered spiritual energy, and he raised his hand: "Psychic Storm!"
When a few rays of light blue lightning just shot out from his hands, the chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake immediately felt the danger. He pushed Morgiana and Teresa away, and used Thor's Hammer with both hands to attack him directly.
The transparent air around me.
"Yeah~"
"Crack~"
On the tip of Thor's hammer, the demon-breaking rune flashed. Between the torn mortal world and the realm of chaos, the great demon of Tzeentch, Carlos the Weaver of Destiny, had appeared, except for its stooped and ugly appearance.
Outside, it is covered in blue demon armor, and the staff in its hand is spitting out colorful firelight.
"Discovered? Interesting!" Carlos fired a burst of colorful flames directly at Ryan: "The false god's chosen champion! Nice to meet you. I am the true god - the greatest demon under the throne of Saint Tzege.
