The steward's order was given, and the six hundred people continued to advance along the original route, but after a while they discovered that there were people in the team who had their shoes stuck off, whose feet were sticky when walking, or who were simply stuck in place and unable to move. There are more and more people, and the originally compact team has become sparse, with several gaps appearing in the middle.
"Um?"
The steward of Tianxiahui intuitively felt that something was wrong. Just when he was about to let people light a torch to see what was stuck on the soles of their shoes, a voice appeared on the rafter not far from them.
"You can't light it, you can't light it. It's flammable, and it will be bad if it burns."
"What? There's someone on the roof?!"
The steward of the World Association was startled. He looked up and saw a black figure appearing on the roof. Due to the dim light, his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his figure was quite tall.
"Who are you? Looking for death!"
After speaking, the steward of the World Council showed murderous intent in his eyes. He raised his left hand, loosened the string of a short crossbow, and fired a crossbow arrow at the black shadow on the roof.
But before the crossbow arrow was about to contact the figure, it bounced away with a "ding" sound and hit something unknown.
I saw the dark figure on the roof patting his chest and saying: "My dear, it's so dangerous. Fortunately, I applied to General Zhonglang for a large explosion-proof shield in advance. Otherwise, I would have fallen into your trap. It's a bloody world." Yes, you don’t think our lieutenant will know that you are coming to the city, right? We have prepared a lot of programs tonight just to greet all the distinguished guests, now let’s do some sideshows to warm things up.”
The dark shadow on the roof was none other than Samoko. He grinned widely, took out the arrow from his quiver, slapped it against the flint, ignited the arrow, and fully pulled the bow string.
When the manager of the Association heard this, he knew that something was wrong. It turned out that his actions had been discovered, and others had even made arrangements in advance. However, they had been living in seclusion these past few days without revealing any flaws. How did the other party find out?
Shamoko wouldn't give him an explanation. As soon as he loosened his finger, a flaming arrow pierced the night sky and nailed to the road with a thud.
The next moment, the weak fire on the arrow suddenly spread in all directions, and soon divided the Tianxiahui team into dozens of sections.
"Watch out! Watch out for these flames!"
"Sir, these fires are a bit evil, why are they chasing people?!"
The steward of the World Council was surprised to see that the flames that suddenly burst out would follow the people who were avoiding them, as if they were alive.
"How is this possible? Wait, take off your shoes, take off your shoes!"
In his anxiety, he finally thought that this should have something to do with the sticky thing they stepped on the ground. Because the light was dark, they did not pay attention when they acted, and stepped on the sticky thing all the way. If he guessed, Yes, that kind of thing should ignite when exposed to fire, which also creates the illusion that the flames are always chasing people.
After hearing the steward's words, many of the Tianxiahui's killers took the initiative to take off their boots or straw sandals and hid aside. When they threw away their shoes, the flames that seemed to have eyes stopped in place. catch up.
"If we take off our shoes, the fire will stop chasing us!"
But before this group of people had time to be happy, they discovered that there were suddenly many black shadows on the roofs on both sides of the street, and the tops of the bows and arrows in their hands were all set on fire.
"Fire the arrow!"
Shamoko gave an order, and rockets lit up the sky and shot into the streets.
This time, everyone in the world was hit by arrows. Some screamed and fell to the ground, and some were caught in the flames and set their clothes on fire. Suddenly, the already divided formation became even more chaotic.
"Damn it, don't retreat, keep moving forward! As long as we defeat the Xiangyang garrison and capture Zhao Yi alive, we can retreat unscathed and everyone can keep moving forward!"
The steward of the World Council waved the heavy sword in his hand, and split the flaming giant horse in front of him into two pieces with one sword. He took off his boots first and continued to rush forward, because Zhao Yi's garrison was not far in front of them. If If you retreat at this time, everything will be in vain. There is no way to explain to the alliance leader when you go back. It is better to give it a try and win in danger.
"Kill!"
At this moment, the sneak attack in the dark turned into a frontal charge. All members of the Tianxiahui took off their shoes and rushed towards the garrison regardless of risk.
Their three teams were united, and they were getting closer and closer to the garrison. They only needed to pass through one more street to complete the mission.
But suddenly, the shouts of death among the people who rushed the fastest suddenly turned into screams. They were all jumping around in place, some hugging their feet, some squatting down, and some just lying on the ground. Some rolled away, and some simply threw away their weapons.
"Ah—my feet!"
"There's a hidden weapon on the ground... there's a hidden weapon on the ground!"
Yes, that's right, the street closest to the Xiangyang garrison was strewn with three-legged nails, which was the second course to welcome them.
The steward of the World Council saw sweat on his forehead and was filled with anger. He raised his feet and pulled out the iron nails stuck in the soles of his feet. He didn't care about the blood coming out of his feet. The heavy sword in his hand slipped on the ground and struck out with a strong wind. The sword energy rolled aside all the iron nails on the surrounding ground.
"Everyone - capture Zhao Yi at all costs!"
There was no turning back for him. Although he knew that the operation was likely to be exposed and that what was waiting for them might just be a trap, he still wanted to bet that Zhao Yi was really in the garrison.
Suddenly, at this moment, many lanterns were lit up on the streets around the garrison. The dark clouds in the sky seemed to have been artificially dispersed. The moonlight shone on Xiangyang City again, making the surrounding streets look the same as daytime. .
Zhao Yi walked out of the main hall of the garrison, even holding a wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Are the guests here? I, Zhao Hongfei, have taken a concubine today, and the food has been prepared. I hope you can forgive me for my poor greeting. ~~"
"Zhao Hongfei...take your life!"
The steward of Tianxiahui looked at his troops in embarrassment, and recalled his heroic words when he first entered the city. He felt that his face was being pressed back and forth on the ground. The strong sense of humiliation made him forget the pain, and he rushed forward with his sword. .
But at this moment, the sound of clicking sounded intensively, and a pair of soldiers in strange uniforms lined up in three rows. The first row was crawling, the second row was squatting, and the third row was standing. Each of them raised a He was holding a metal iron pipe, and he had seen this kind of iron pipe before. It was the fairy weapon used by Zhao Yi.
"No! Hurry, armored soldier!"
The stewards of the Tianxiahui obviously made preparations in advance. They specially built a set of very thick iron armor for firearms and put it inside the leather armor.
In the original plan, once they had a head-on conflict with Zhao Yi, the soldiers in iron armor would be at the forefront, using heavy armor to block the weird weapons, while others would use the alchemists to refine explosive weapons. Powder creates chaos.
But what about the people he sent in advance to light fires and create chaos in the city? Why hasn't he seen any fire anywhere yet? Could it be that all of them were solved by Zhao Yi?
"It's impossible... Our plan is foolproof, there's no reason for you to notice it! It's impossible!"
The steward of Tianxiahui could not accept such an outcome. He endured the pain with his bare feet and still stubbornly rushed towards Zhao Yi in the face of three rows of musketeers.
"Bang bang bang~"
Gunshots rang out and flames appeared. Although the steward of the World Council, who was holding a heavy sword, was wearing iron armor on his chest, his limbs were still only wrapped in leather armor. Several flowers of blood bloomed under the intensive shooting, and he fell to the ground. The ground, unable to get up again.
"Okay, okay~ Are all the guests here? Let's serve the main course, something hard~!"
Zhao Yi clapped his hands. Ma Liu and others were fully armed. They carried a relatively thick barrel on their shoulders, but it was a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher-RPG.
However, this time the number of soldiers Zhao Yi can command is not what it used to be, and the number of RPGs has also risen sharply.
When he raided Xiangyang City last time and blew down the city gate, he used ten RPG rocket launchers. This time, in order to welcome the guests and create a shock, Zhao Yi took out fifty RPG rocket launchers in one go.
