The lively town of Richie during the day seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep like everyone else.
The nightlife in Rich Town is not rich. Although the flow of people here is not small, they are almost all tourists and caravans on their way. Very few people will go out looking for entertainment projects without rest at night.
The night industry in the town has not developed.
It has been raining for several days and the moon has been covered by dark clouds.
Except for the burning torches in a few hotels and the square in the center of the town, there was almost no light.
It’s truly a scene where you can’t even see your fingers,
This scene is very suitable
kill
…
"Say, sew..."
Outside the hotel where Richard and others were staying, there was a faint sound of footsteps.
If you look carefully, you can see that there is a dark mass of human heads outside the hotel yard.
This group of people were wrapped in night clothes and some exposed armor was wrapped in black cloth.
If you drill into a place without torches, you can almost completely blend into the darkness without revealing any flaws.
"Sir Hussein, they are in the room on the second floor of the hotel."
"Um."
It was obvious that every step Richard took into the town was under the surveillance of the church people.
Afterwards, Hussein made a gesture, and several elites of the Knights climbed up the outer wall of the courtyard with poisoned crossbows.
These people were obviously extremely skilled. They climbed up the courtyard wall without making any noise.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
The bowstring trembled slightly, the specially-made crossbow made a faint sound, and several venom-quenched sharp arrows flew out.
However, the target of these arrows was not. Richard and others living in the room,
Instead, he shot toward the yard,
Although the elites of the Knights are confident, they have still done enough preparations.
It was difficult for them not to pay attention to the poisonous manticore that Richard carried with him.
Animals' senses are much more sensitive than humans most of the time. If they want to make a sneak attack, the first thing they have to do is to kill the beasts brought by Richard.
The manticore is currently lying next to the stables of the hotel,
In order for everyone to feel at ease, Richard continued to make a show and tied the manticore to the pillar of the stable with a hemp rope.
However, because the Manticore was too coercive and the horses around him couldn't bear it, Richard had no choice but to pay alone to occupy a stable for the Manticore.
"Roar!"
Before these poisoned arrows arrived, the poisonous manticore already felt threatened, suddenly woke up from a deep sleep, and immediately roared.
While roaring, several sharp arrows flew towards him. The scorpion lion shook its tail and knocked down two sharp arrows.
But obviously due to the rush of time, the manticore did not avoid all the arrows, and some arrows still hit the body of the manticore.
However, although the Manticore looks like a crispy skin, its skin is actually extremely tough.
These crossbow arrows can directly pierce armor at a short distance, but they just hit the Manticore and were stuck in the muscles.
For a beast like the Manticore, such an injury would not affect the battle at all in a short period of time.
As for the venom quenched on the arrow,
hehe,
Maybe if it hits Richard, it will have some effect.
It would be really funny to shoot it on the scorpion lion. The poison on the scorpion lion is much stronger than the poison quenched on these arrows.
"Damn it!"
"Fire the arrow!"
The Manticore roared loudly, making the hiding of Hussein and others completely meaningless. There was nothing to hide now, and the sneak attack directly turned into a surprise attack.
The advantages are still there,
"Doh, dong dong..."
Dense arrows shot into the room on the second floor,
"ah…"
Inadvertently or not, the men led by Richard immediately suffered casualties.
Fortunately, most people woke up when the Manticore roared.
reacted immediately,
At this moment, Richard had already hid on the side of the bed, and even had a cloth mask on his body.
Most people's situation is similar to Richard's.
His movements may be a little slower than Richard's, but Ye started to put on his armor at this time,
This may also be one of the benefits of cloth armor,
Compared with plate armor or other heavy armor, cloth face armor is much more convenient to wear. If you don't wear something like full metal arm armor, it can be easily worn by one person.
"Doh, dong dong..."
"Yeah, rush out!"
After the first round of poisoned arrow rain, the knights found that continuing to shoot had little effect, so they directly switched to rockets.
Not caring at all that there are other travelers in the hotel,
The dense flames quickly ignited the room of Richard and others.
Fortunately, Richard and others live on the second floor.
After the opponent attacked with fire, he didn't dare to continue observing and immediately jumped out of the window.
Headed by Richard and Zebul,
The other Northland soldiers who followed jumped out of the window one after another.
Although these people are not experts, they are also capable soldiers. The second floor is not too high for them.
Except for one unlucky guy who sprained his foot, everyone else landed safely.
"Roar!"
The imagined third round of arrow rain did not come,
Originally, when Richard and others broke out of the window and landed on the ground, they were bound to experience a hail of arrows.
Encountering dense crossbows at close range without cover,
I'm afraid that except for Richard and Zebul, everyone else in the team will have to kneel down in this situation.
But obviously, there was chaos in the opponent's team,
The manticore was not idle, and the hemp rope that tied it looked very ridiculous when it really wanted to break free.
Once the sharp scorpion tail is cut, the hemp rope will break easily.
Just as the Knights released their second round of fire arrows, the Manticore pounced on them.
The sharp scorpion tail swept away the lives of several crossbowmen on the wall.
The Manticore's high killing efficiency obviously caused confusion among the crossbowmen.
These people subconsciously turned their fire on the manticores around them, but when faced with the manticores that were in combat mode, they all shot into the air.
"Roar!"
The Manticore knocked down another member of the Knights and bit his neck off in one bite.
"This lion can fly!"
At night, feline beasts are much scarier than humans...
"Damn it!"
Hussein clenched his fist heavily, obviously very dissatisfied.
Even if the sneak attack fails, forget it.
The intelligence on this war beast was obviously not in place and it was much stronger than they expected.
Before the people on the opposite side came up, this lion-like war beast caused huge casualties to our side, and even brought a little panic in the dark night.
If the people he led were not warriors with firm beliefs, this war beast might have destabilized their team right now.
"Hod, Dros!"
"exist!"
"You take people in and get rid of them!"
"yes!"
Hod and Dros are also captain-level figures in the Knights.
Although the start was unfavorable, Hussein did not think that Richard could escape from his hands.
The force mobilized by the church this time is nothing short of luxurious.
Because I learned that Richard himself has the strength of a great knight, and there may be many great knights around him,
This time, the church directly sent Hussein, an earth-level warrior, two captains of the great knight-level, and hundreds of elites in order to achieve success in one blow.
"Qiang!"
After the two men led the team into the courtyard, Hussein also raised his sword and faced the manticore.
The Manticore caused too much damage to the team, so Hussein decided to deal with the Manticore first.
It's not too late to go back and join the battle in the courtyard...
