At the same time that William spoke, the surrounding guards had already surrounded him.
Cold sweat broke out on Lauder's forehead. These thirty seconds were undoubtedly the longest time he had ever spent.
"Okay!" At the last moment, Lauder sighed, slowly reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table, and pretended to drink it. However, at the last moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he threw the red wine in the glass towards He killed the guard closest to him.
The scarlet liquid immediately smeared on the man's face and stuck to his skin like thick mud. Obviously it was not just red wine.
A dozen heavily armed guards had already slashed at him with their swords.
Lauder shortened his stature and shamelessly got under the table, dodged the long knife that was swung at him, and calmly analyzed the situation on the court.
Although the opponent has many people, they are all ordinary goods. The fat William has difficulty moving, so he may not have no chance!
Just as he was thinking about it, the long table above had been lifted open, and only then did Lauder see clearly that the person who did it was actually William!
You should know that an entire solid wood long table plus a table full of food might have weighed hundreds of kilograms, but William could easily lift it off.
Fortunately, Lauder is not an ordinary cripple. His alchemical prosthesis is even more flexible than a normal person. He almost rolled and crawled to avoid several long knives, and rushed straight towards the person who was very close to him. William!
A heavily armed guard suddenly blocked the front, his strong body like a heavy high wall.
Lauder's speed did not slow down, he raised the crutch in his hand and placed his hand on the hidden grid.
The next moment, a harsh thunder sounded in the closed hall. The lead bullet with a speed of more than 300 meters per second had penetrated the helmet the moment the gunshot sounded, beating the opponent's head into a mess.
Minced meat mixed with blood was sprinkled on Lauder's face, but he no longer cared about it. Before more than a dozen guards came around, he had already pressed the cane musket in his hand to William's head.
"Surrender, William! You should have seen its power just now. Even if your head is as hard as steel, there will still be a hole in it." Lauder said fiercely.
Although this musket cannot be activated a second time in a short period of time, this does not prevent him from using it as a threat.
However, William directly ignored the incredibly powerful walking stick and musket on his head, and spoke in disappointment. "Is this what you rely on?"
Warning signs appeared in Laud's heart, and then the ground beneath his feet collapsed. Without checking for a moment, Laud lost his balance and fell in together with the obese William.
Lauder got up from the ground extremely quickly. After seeing the surrounding scene clearly, cold sweat broke out on his face.
This is an underground palace. The surrounding walls are lined with dense holes, with countless sharp crossbow arrows mounted on them.
William also fell so hard that he couldn't stand up at all, as if he had changed into a different person, and he said tremblingly. "The walls of the entire hall are made of two-meter-thick boulders. Traps like this are everywhere in the hall, and the underground is filled with kerosene. Unless a great wizard or a cardinal personally Otherwise, no one will be able to leave here alive!"
"You are not William!" Lauder finally realized something was wrong at this time, because the real William would never put himself in such a dangerous situation.
Unless, this is just a stand-in!
Damn it!
Lauder immediately thought of this, but he didn't expect that he would die here with a substitute.
Accompanied by a slight sound amplification, the crossbow arrows placed at the entrance of the cave shrank in. That was the sound of winding!
Facing thousands of dark crossbow holes all around, Lauder could only helplessly close his eyes and wait for death. Even if he could fly now, he couldn't fly out.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no sound of the crossbow being fired. The two people present paused.
The agency has... stopped?
…
A few minutes ago, outside the gate of the fortress, Murth, who had confiscated Lauder's belongings, walked alone deeper into the manor. After twists and turns, he entered a hidden compartment. This is where William Mu's real hiding place!
Except for a very few close confidants, no one knew that William had trained a very similar substitute, who usually handled some external matters or attended banquets among nobles.
Compared with the stand-in outside, the real William looks fatter and fatter, which makes people even wonder whether he can breathe.
"Sir, as you expected before, Mr. Lauder does not seem to be prepared to negotiate with us." Murt stepped forward with a low eyebrow and displayed two daggers and a small crossbow. In front of William, he showed that they were all looted from Laud's body.
"You did a good job, Murt." William said appreciatively.
Although the intelligence showed that Lauder was just an ordinary person who did not know magic and did not pose much of a threat, those wizards' spells were extremely weird. Who knew whether they might lay some back-up plan on the other party? Naturally, he was not prepared. Face it yourself.
"Go and call Cody, I have something to tell him." William said in a deep voice.
But Murth stood quietly and didn't mean to move, as if he didn't hear his instructions.
"Murt!" William's already small eyes almost became a line, and his pupils were filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, a strange and frightening voice sounded in the cubicle.
"Forked Lightning!"
Blue-purple electric arcs lit up around Murt. The speed of lightning was so fast that William had no time to react. Several guards standing in front of him were already shrouded in lightning. Not only did the strong iron armor disappear. It can protect and become the best conductor.
After just one encounter, he was hit by tens of thousands of volts of electric current and fell to the ground convulsingly. William himself was also within the scope of the thunder.
Since the guards were wearing iron armor, the mine-guiding effect was so good that the impact on William was very limited. However, the moment the electric current passed through, the fat on his body still trembled uncontrollably.
"Will it be affected by conductors? This is not a big shortcoming."
The unfamiliar voice sounded again in the cubicle, and then Linn's figure emerged from the void. He glanced at the guard who had fallen under the thunder magic and the intact William.
His new magic seems to need some improvement...
