Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World

Chapter 379: jailbreak

"Ah! It hurts!"

"Come and help me!"

There was a horrible cry, and the four strong men who were burned by the flames screamed, and they fell to the ground and rolled around, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

But the companions around him hesitated, because they didn't know whether they would also fall under the witch's evil witchcraft if they approached rashly.

Three people gradually lost their movements because of the flames, and only one rolled a little farther to the feet of his companions, which happened to be a construction site for a new house, and his companions poured a lot of sand on him, saving the next life.

"Wicked witchcraft! Wicked witch!"

Seeing his subordinates being killed in front of his eyes, Vilaius was furious.

But his mind was not controlled by anger. Vilaius, who has been trained by the church for many years and often dealt with wizards, knows that magic follows the principle of "equivalent exchange". The more powerful the magic, the better the effect. The operator pays a higher price. Rare casting materials and a long preparation time are the prerequisites for a powerful magic, and the preparation process is often accompanied by a huge spiritual consumption of the caster himself.

In the past, the relationship between the wizards and the church in the Jiaowan area was a mouse-and-cat relationship. The wizards lived a precarious life under the strict raids of the church. The church's armed forces broke into the hiding place and blocked them. Because they were weak, even if they prepared offensive spells, they could not match the church's numerical advantage. Therefore, their well-prepared spells often focused on hiding and escaping.

Because almost no wizards prepare their own spells for the purpose of killing a large number of church personnel, if things go on like this, the armed personnel of the church can't help but feel contemptuous of wizards. So after receiving the signal that the witch appeared near the church, although they were surprised, they didn't make too much preparation.

But it was obvious that the witch in front of her had planned it for a long time, just as she said just now, "Don't underestimate a well-prepared wizard." The serial explosions, the invulnerability protection spell, and the flames that instantly ignite the enemy's body, these are not simple tricks, and they can never be completed in a hurry. She must have been secretly arranging this street for a long time, arranging spell traps that are difficult for ordinary people to find.

Her purpose is to hit the church hard at a certain moment, kill the people of the church, and completely embarrass the church. This moment may be a certain time in the future, or it may be now—Vileus suspects that the identity of the witch is most likely deliberately exposed. The latter possibility is more dangerous, which means that the witch is fully prepared to attack.

For a long time, the church has hardly paid attention to the vicinity of the cathedral, because this is the headquarters of the Nessberg Church, how could the mice get into the cat's nest, wouldn't the wizards come here to throw themselves into the trap, and people habitually think that this place is a cathedral. "Forbidden Magic Domain", this creates a dangerous loophole. If a wizard who wants to die together wants to make some noise near the cathedral, as long as he is careful, it is not difficult to make some preparations for casting spells. And even since the witch hunting movement started, there has never been such a wizard who clearly wants to attack the church, so people unconsciously ignored this loophole.

Compared with the casualties of his subordinates, what made Vilaius even more angry was that the wizard who took the initiative to attack the church finally appeared! This is a dangerous signal, which means that their enemies are no longer willing to resist passively, but are going to attack actively. The witch in front of her will set a great example for her kind. With the first one, there will be the second, and the third...until more and more wizards join the ranks of actively attacking the church.

There are more things that Vilaius thought of - after deciding to take the initiative to resist the church, the wizards with this idea will contact each other, no longer fighting alone, they will form a group, and they will pay more attention to strategy...

"I will never let you go!" The spear in the knight's hand was thrown fiercely.

The powerful brain power made Vilaius determined to kill the witch in front of him, and he must not let her go, and let those who decide to follow her understand the price of actively provoking the church.

Because of the witch's protective spell, Vilaius didn't have any hope for the shot, he just vented his anger.

But to his surprise, the spear lagged slightly in front of the witch, and then continued to move forward. However, because the spear was not too accurate, it flew close to the witch's side.

"Her witchcraft is dead! Take the opportunity to attack!"

Without Vileus' reminder, the subordinates noticed the change of the witch.

People carrying crossbows or catapults immediately took off their long-range weapons and started preparing. Long-range weapons are the safest choice when they don't know what the enemy has to do. They don't want to imagine that the four at the beginning Partners were also burned by the flames.

With a sound of "whoosh", the first arrow was shot at the witch, and at this moment, a large amount of smoke suddenly burst out on the street, and it was thickest at the place where the witch was standing, and her figure disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The smog seems to be more than just confusing people's sights. After many people came into contact with the smog, their eyes began to shed tears uncontrollably.

"Ah!" There was a scream, and then a figure fell down.

With a "bang", another explosion occurred somewhere, and several people were injured.

"Attention everyone! Gather back to back!"

Vilaius ordered his subordinates loudly, he didn't expect the other party to have this trick.

After several brothers fell in a row, the thick fog began to clear, and the church members could finally see each other.

But I just can't see the witch from before!

Vilaius checked the fallen man, and the neck was wiped ruthlessly, while the light one also had terrible wounds, and judging from the color of the wound, the opponent's weapon was highly poisonous.

And many people were injured by the explosion.

The knight stomped his feet fiercely, "It's hateful, but this is a time when there are not enough people!"

Yes, they are short of manpower now, the church has received news that there are traces of a large witchcraft gathering in the village outside of Nessberg, so most of the manpower has been sent out, and they have not returned yet, leaving only one team in Nessberg by Commanded by Vileus.

"It's not good! Lord Vileus! It's not good!"

Someone ran over in a panic in the distance, still shouting his name.

"What happened?"

The knight asked angrily, today is enough bad luck and humiliation. Just now, after counting, more than a dozen members of the church were knocked down, and they didn't even touch the enemy's body.

The visitor ran up to him and stopped, bent down to gasp for air, obviously exhausted his strength.

"Cell... cell..." he said breathlessly.

"What happened to the cell!"

As soon as he heard this word~lightnovelpub.net~ Vilaius's heart suddenly tugged, he grabbed the messenger's clothes and raised it to ask sternly.

"The prisoner in the cell... was robbed!"

The visitor finally put together a sentence.

"what!"

Vilaius raised his head to the sky and howled! They had fallen for the trick, and the other side lured their last armed force out while the Nessburg Church was short of manpower... It is very likely that the news of the witchcraft gathering they received before was also a part of this conspiracy. After they came out, there were only a few sentry posts left in the cathedral, and then they took the opportunity to rob people.

And what was locked in the prison of the church was a group of wizards who were about to be burned on the stake.

"Go chase! Everyone chase the jailbreaker!"

At the moment, he didn't care about the witch just now. If the wizard who was already in custody was released, he would really lose face in the church and could only commit suicide and apologize.

Everyone realized the seriousness of the matter and followed Vilaius in a panic. In a blink of an eye, all the church personnel on this street ran away.

In a messy and dark alley, a woman's figure gradually appeared. If you observe carefully, the cloak on her body is like a chameleon, which is very similar to the surrounding color, making it difficult for the owner to be spotted, but if you pay close attention , can still be seen.

"I hope that group of adventurers can fulfill their promises, please, Lichmans."

After saying this sentence to herself, her consciousness began to blur.

Opening his eyes with difficulty, he took a nostalgic glance at the empty but sunny street.

"Oh, next time you open your eyes, you will see a dark dungeon..."

After the woman gave a wry smile, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
