Maybe the soldiers in the fierce battle won't think much about it. But the leaders in charge had different thoughts. As for the man who planned all this, he has not appeared for a long time, and everyone is criticizing him. Some people even began to wonder if all this was a trap to catch them all.
Such doubts disappeared until this scene happened. No reason, just because this man killed too hard!
The huge broad-bladed sword was like a hot knife cutting butter, splitting three fully armed warriors with giant shields and their shields in half at shoulder level in one breath. For a moment, the originally noisy battlefield fell silent. The magician's side was like a field that no one should approach. No one dared to enter the distance that the broad-edged long sword could reach.
Finally, there are still a few Han Enhui archers awake on the windowsill. They opened their bows and shot arrows, but the arrows deflected just before they hit the person, and landed crookedly on the unlucky guy on the side. This is an apprentice-level magic - Wind Barrier, specially used to defend against long-range weapons.
At this time, several archers also noticed that the man wearing a magician's robe and holding a giant sword was actually a mad warrior, the most troublesome among all possible opponents. Now they no longer even have the desire to continue attacking that target. The arrows deflected by the wind barrier will lose their original strength. Even if they hit other people, they will be soft and will not cause much damage. Instead of staring at this one, why not attack others.
The members of the Han En Society in the house should have rushed out to fill the gap the moment their comrades fell, and continued to block the enemy at the gate. But the scene in front of him made the commander make a different choice - close the door.
Although it is not a fortress for war, rich people still use excellent wood for their facades for the sake of style. Thick top-quality mahogany, iron skin, and copper rivets are all in place. Anyone who knows the goods knows that this cannot be kicked open with your feet. Just as he was about to greet the people behind him, he took the battering ram over again.
I saw the magician holding the long handle of the ship-cutting knife with both hands, pulling it up and down a few times, and simply broke the door open. Regardless of friend or foe, he made everyone look stupid.
"Ah, that seems to be the ship-cutting sword of the Karlsruhe Empire Dragoon!"
Some knowledgeable people have some guesses about the weapons in the magician's hands. Some people couldn't understand why an empire's most secret weapon would be in the hands of a mere magician. But most people held their weapons high and cheered loudly. There is nothing more exciting than a situation where the strong one belongs to one's own camp.
Under Lin's leadership, everyone rushed into the mansion. The ship-cutting sword cleared the way, and Lin could not meet any enemy who could fight him for the second round. No matter how good the armor is, no matter how thick the shield is, they will all be cut through with one strike, without exception.
Such achievements have also allowed those who have only heard rumors about the ship-cutting sword but have not had the opportunity to see it with their own eyes to understand that there is a reason for this weapon to be classified as a 'siege' weapon by the empire. Because it is too cruel to use it against people.
Entering the mansion, the number of people dispersed again. Some were heading towards the east and west corridors, and some were searching above the second floor. The Hannhui side also tried to drag the fight into a small space rather than fighting someone in the open.
Generally speaking, when fighting in places with limited space, especially those who use long weapons, they need to be most careful not to let their weapons get stuck. If someone accidentally cuts his sword on a pillar and cannot pull it out, it is very likely that he will lose his life just because of this negligence.
The ship-cutting sword is definitely a long weapon. The hilt alone is as long as a forearm; plus the sword body, it is taller than a person. However, wielding such a weapon, the magician still opened and closed the door, as if he was in a deserted place.
This is because regardless of the wall or the pillar, this weapon cuts through it with one strike, splitting even the room and the people in half. And this is not about smashing open the building with brute force, it is just the sharpness of the weapon that easily cuts through everything.
Although someone was in a rather strange mental state, Lin was not carried away by the killing. He still remembered his purpose. So even if there were enemies fleeing above the second floor in front of him, he did not pursue them. Instead, he was on the first floor, searching for the entrance to the underground palace in the information.
There are fewer and fewer comrades around me. It's not that who died in battle, but that there were those who were brave enough to kill in a different direction from the human magicians. Some saw enemies, some guessed that there would be valuable trophies in different directions, and various reasons made people not to continue to follow the humanoid beast.
In the end, those who were still with Lin, in addition to his original companions, were Uzov Gantia and his ten comrades, as well as leaders of some organizations and their cronies and bodyguards.
The companions Uzov found were all good with bows and arrows. The sniper killings at the beginning of the war were most likely carried out by his people. Because they were scattered, most people had not joined him until now.
As for the leaders of those organizations who would still follow, except for a few who wanted to gain some presence in front of the demon king, others wanted to follow someone to see if they could get more benefits. As for the plundering of loot everywhere, he left it to his subordinates to carry out separately.
Anyway, those treasures are indispensable for them. But if you want to get some benefits from the magician in front of you, you can't trust anyone. At least they knew what the two magicians were going to do. To achieve that goal, they must first find the location of the underground palace of Wushou Palace. And that underground palace may contain more treasures.
Finally, in a collection room, Lin saw the lion specimen in the information.
The habit of making specimens of ferocious creatures you hunt to show off to others, or to remind yourself of the past, seems to be a common practice no matter where you are in the world.
The method of making lion specimens is much better than the biological specimens someone has seen before traveling through time. The lion's body was still soft, and the warmth could still be felt in its fur, just like the creature had been in life. Is this the necromancer's technique? Lin didn't insist on finding the answer to the question. Instead, he looked for a scepter near a stuffed lion.
The scepter was held in the hand of a knight in armor. The crystal handle and the head of the staff are a star sculpted in gold. They look... rough and vulgar in workmanship. Compared with the other collections in this room, it is something that once you take a look at it, you would not want to touch it, lest you think you have poor taste.
But Lin still grabbed the head of the stick and pulled it down hard. Silently, a storage cabinet moved away, revealing the stone steps going down. There was no surprise in the crowd, but a matter-of-fact expression on everyone's face as they filed in.
The lighting in the passage is a magic lamp. Powered by magic stones, it casts the most basic light spell, emitting a faint light. The passage is very narrow, only wide enough for two people to walk side by side.
And one person, uncharacteristically, took the lead, as if he didn't know what fear was. He had the feeling that everything was under control. Faced with any unexpected situation, his body would naturally take action and use the most efficient way to deal with it.
This strange feeling was unprecedented, and Lin even had the illusion that his brain was running rapidly. All changes in the environment are like a bright mirror in his mind. Even if the person behind him made any expression, even if he raised the corner of his mouth or flickered his eyes, it would be as clear and impressive to him as if he saw it with his own eyes.
It was because everything was clear in his heart that Lin walked down the stairs very quickly, completely without the cautious look he used to have. This is also because he knows very well that there will be no surprises along the way. As for this dim vision, it is not an obstacle at all.
When everyone walked out of the stairwell one after another, they did not walk recklessly to other places, but just gathered at the exit of the stairwell. Because it was pitch black in front of me and I couldn't see anything. There was a vague scent of people in the darkness, the number was unknown, but the footsteps of people were extremely clear. Just from the echo of footsteps, you can guess that this space is very wide.
In such an environment, Lin could still identify objects with his reconnaissance ability, but the distance was not very long. And it is obvious that there are many things beyond the distance that one can discern. To confirm these, apart from walking over, Lin has another simple way, which is to use his best magic. "Bright light spell."
As the most basic magic for constructing a star map, Lin's use of the bright light spell now costs almost nothing, and does not require any cumbersome incantations or gestures. The thought comes together and he opens his mouth. But everything you see is unimaginable.
Everyone's first thought was that the word "underground palace" was misnomer. It was actually a large underground cave. Considering the geographical location of Storm Bay, it is not difficult to infer that behind a certain rock wall, there is actually a large amount of sea water. This is an underground space under the sea level that may be flooded by sea water at any time.
As soon as I had such an idea, the sound of waves crashing on the shore seemed to be heard in my ears, making my legs weak. Some people already want to leave.
The second thing I saw was that there were an incalculable number of people from the Han En Society gathered in the underground palace.
The outermost group is a group of warriors, exuding a powerful aura from their bones. In the center, surrounding a huge sarcophagus, were a group of men in black robes. They covered their faces with hoods and put their hands in each other's sleeves. Their numbers far outnumbered those who followed the magician to the underground palace, and they seemed ready to attack.
For the attackers, if they want to escape, the only way to survive is the narrow and lengthy stairs behind them. Who runs first and who runs last becomes the key to survival.
The leading magician remained silent, and those who followed were inevitably flustered. The two sides were in a stalemate.
Suddenly there was a sound of gold and iron coming from nowhere. It wasn't loud, but in such an environment, it knocked down the line of defense of panic, and the attacking party scrambled to escape from the stairs. But with a "bang!", a huge boulder fell, blocking everyone's escape route. The situation of catching a turtle in an urn is very obvious. This is a trap!
