Chapter 383 Prison Break

"Ah! It hurts!"

"Come and help me!"

The horrible screams rang out, and the four strong men who were burned by the flames screamed and fell to the ground and rolled around, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

But the companions around hesitated, because they didn't know if they would also be affected by the witch's evil witchcraft if they rashly approached.

Three people gradually lost their movements due to the torture of the flames, and only one person rolled a little further to the feet of his companions. It happened that there was a construction site for a new house there. The companions poured a lot of sand on him, and saved his life.

"Evil witchcraft! Evil witch!"

Watching his subordinates being killed in front of him, Vileus was furious.

But his mind was not controlled by anger. Vileus, who had been deeply trained by the church for many years and often dealt with wizards, knew that magic followed the principle of "equivalent exchange". The more powerful and effective the magic, the greater the price paid by the caster. Rare spellcasting materials and long preparation time are the prerequisites for a powerful magic, and the preparation process is often accompanied by great mental consumption of the caster himself.

In the past, the relationship between the wizards in the Jiaowan area and the church was a kind of mouse and cat relationship. The wizards lived a precarious life under the severe search of the church. They would flee immediately when they heard a little movement. If they didn't have time to escape, they would be blocked by the armed forces of the church who broke into their hiding places. Because they were weak, even if they prepared offensive spells, they could not match the numerical advantage of the church, so their carefully prepared spells were often focused on hiding and escaping.

Because almost no wizards prepared their spells for the purpose of killing a large number of church personnel, over time, the armed personnel of the church could not help but develop a contemptuous mentality towards wizards. So after receiving the signal that the witch's trace appeared near the church, although they were surprised, they did not make any excessive preparations.

But it was obvious that the witch in front of them had planned for a long time, as she just said, "Don't underestimate a well-prepared wizard." Chain explosions, invulnerable protective spells, and flames that instantly ignite the enemy's body are not simple tricks, and they can never be done in a hurry. She must have secretly arranged on this street for a long time, setting up those magic traps that are difficult for ordinary people to find.

Her purpose is to hit the church hard at a certain moment, kill the church's people, and make the church completely embarrassed. This moment may be a certain time in the future, or it may be now-Vilaus suspects that the witch's identity is very likely to be deliberately exposed. The latter possibility is more dangerous, which means that the witch has made perfect preparations for the attack.

For a long time, the church's attention has hardly been paid near the cathedral, because this is the base camp of the Niceburg Church. How can a mouse go into a cat's nest? Wouldn't it be a trap for wizards to come here? People habitually think that this is a "forbidden magic area", which 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 and makes some spell preparations, it is not difficult. Even since the witch hunt began, there has never been a wizard who is clearly going to attack the church, so people have unconsciously ignored this loophole.

What made Vileus more angry than the casualties of his subordinates 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 passively resist, but are going to take the initiative to attack. The witch in front of her will set a huge example for her kind. With the first one, there will be the second, the third... until more and more wizards join the ranks of actively attacking the church.

Vileus thought of more things - after deciding to take the initiative to resist the church, wizards with this idea will contact each other, no longer fight alone, they will stick together, they will pay more attention to strategy...

"I will never let you go!" The knight threw the spear in his hand fiercely.

The powerful brain-filling ability made Vileus determined to kill the witch in front of him, and he must not let her go, and let those who decided to imitate her understand the price of actively provoking the church.

Because of the witch's protective spell, Vileus had no hope for the shot, and was just venting his anger.

But what he didn't expect was that the spear lagged slightly in front of the witch, and continued to move forward. However, because the shot was not accurate, it flew past the witch's side.

"Her witchcraft is not working! Seize the opportunity and attack quickly!"

Without Vileus's reminder, his subordinates discovered the witch's change.

Those who carried crossbows or slingshots immediately took off their long-range weapons and began to prepare. Without knowing what the enemy had to do, long-range weapons were the safest choice. They didn't want to be burned by flames like the four companions at the beginning.

With a "whoosh", the first arrow shot at the witch. At this moment, a large amount of smoke suddenly broke out on the street, and the thickest place was where the witch stood. Her figure disappeared instantly.

The smoke seemed to be more than just confusing people's vision. Many people couldn't help crying in their eyes after coming into contact with the smoke.

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

"Boom", another explosion occurred, and several people were injured.

"Everyone, pay attention! Gather back to back!"

Villeus loudly ordered his subordinates. He didn't expect the other party to have this trick.

After several brothers fell in succession, the fog began to dissipate, and the people of the church could finally see each other.

But they couldn't see the witch from before!

Vileus checked the fallen people. Some were killed by someone, and some had terrible wounds. Judging from the color of the wounds, the opponent's weapons were poisonous.

And many people were injured by the explosion.

The knight stamped his feet fiercely, "It's hateful. It's just when we are short of manpower!"

Yes, they are short of manpower now. The church received news that there were traces of a large witchcraft gathering in the village outside Niceburg, so most of the manpower was sent out, and they haven't returned yet. Only one team is left in Niceburg under the command of Vileus.

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

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

"What happened?"

The knight asked angrily. Today was already unlucky and humiliating enough. Just now, he counted and found that more than a dozen people from the church were knocked down, and they didn't even touch the enemy's body.

The visitor ran to him and stopped, bent down and gasped for air, obviously exhausted.

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

"What happened to the cell!"

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

Upon hearing this word, Vileus' heart suddenly tightened, he grabbed the messenger's clothes and raised him up and asked sternly.

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

The visitor finally pieced together a sentence.

"Ah!"

Vileus screamed to the sky! They were tricked. The other party took advantage of the shortage of manpower in the Niceburg Church to lure out their last armed team... It is very likely that the news of the witchcraft gathering received before was also part of this conspiracy. After they came out, the power in the cathedral was only a few sentries, and then they took the opportunity to kidnap people.

And the prison in the church was a group of wizards who were about to be tied to the stake.

"Go after him! Everyone, chase the jailbreaker!"

At the moment, he didn't care about the witch just now. If he let the wizard who was already in custody escape, he would be too ashamed to stay in the church. He could only commit suicide to apologize.

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

In a messy and dark alley, a woman's figure gradually appeared. If you look closely, her cloak is like a chameleon, very similar to the surrounding colors, making it difficult for her owner to be discovered, but if you pay close attention, you can still see it.

"I hope that the adventurers can fulfill their promise. Please, everyone in Lichman."

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

She opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at the empty but sunny street with nostalgia.

"Hehe, the next time you open your eyes, you will see the dark dungeon..."

After the woman smiled bitterly, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
