Chapter 502 The shame that will never be erased
"Boom~Boom~"
Amid the deafening explosion, Roland still released the flame fist one by one, suppressing the commando of Light Spirit.
Suddenly, a fiery red figure fell from the sky and landed lightly beside Roland. It was Alice.
Alice's hair was a little scattered, and the tips were curled by the heat waves. A lot of burnt dust was rubbed on her white jade-like cheeks, which seemed to have just passed a fierce battle.
"Roland, open your mouth." Alice opened a bottle of mana recovery potion, wrapped it in her mana hand, and sent it to Roland's mouth.
Roland stared at his opponent tightly, but the spell still did not stop. After swallowing the potion quickly, he asked, "How is it, are you injured?"
"without."
“How is the situation outside?”
“No big problem.”
Alice was not idle for a moment. She released a suspension technique on Sophia and lifted her up: "Our people attacked everywhere in the city to create chaos. Such a big movement appeared in the Sunshine Castle, which made the defenders in the city mistakenly think that Berryland had fallen. They had no fighting spirit and ran around like headless flies. The whole city was in chaos."
"Very good! Take her away first, I'll buy you time here."
The mana recovery potion has begun to take effect, but the mana recovery speed is almost the same as the consumption. Fortunately, Roland also has a Winter suit, which also stores about 20% of mana. At this time, he naturally activates and uses it without hesitation.
Alice quickly glanced at the Light Spirit Team opposite, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Roland, be careful!"
"I have a careful retreat plan, don't worry about me."
As soon as Roland finished speaking, he saw that Goldlin was about to move again. He had a stern thought and he stepped up to throw two flame fists and forced the other party back.
Alice took Sophia and turned around and flew up the city wall.
Of course Guangling would not let her take Princess Sophia away.
When Alice flew to half the height of the city wall, Roland clearly saw that Goldling had an extra golden longbow on hand, and the bow was like a full moon, and he shot an arrow in the direction of Alice.
A golden light suddenly appeared and accurately pierced Alice's heart.
"Be careful behind!"
Roland shouted, his thoughts turned sharply, and his left hand was still releasing the flames fist, but a hazy white light flashed on the red rose staff on his right hand, using a "Kander vortex" to the coming golden light.
The reason why I chose the Kander vortex is because this golden light emits a strong breath of magic power, and as long as there is magic power, the Kander vortex can interfere with its flight trajectory.
The second reason is that the golden light is too fast and the time is extremely limited, so Roland has no time to release stronger spells.
His judgment was indeed correct.
The golden light that was originally flying in a straight line suddenly showed a small arc, and finally hit the city wall less than half a meter to Alice's left hand. The golden light penetrated deeply into the city wall and left a thumb-sized black hole on the city wall.
Such terrible power, if you shoot Alice's body, you will definitely break through the Herod barrier on her body and nail her to the city wall.
Alice was frightened and sweated coldly, and immediately accelerated with all her might and flew over the city wall.
On the other side, seeing that the arrow that was bound to hit was hit, Goldlin subconsciously paused. When he wanted to draw the bow again, he had already missed the opportunity and could only watch the other party escape from the inner castle with Princess Sophia.
When looking at Roland again, Goldlin felt his eyelids twitching: ‘In the high-speed double casting, he could even use the Kander vortex to take my Fiery Sun Arrow. This guy is really terrible!’
He has lived for more than 80 years and has seen countless masters of Glenmay. The young master in front of him is not the one with the deepest mana and the highest realm, but he is undoubtedly the one who can fight the most.
Seeing Princess Sophia getting farther and farther away from him, a thought suddenly popped up in Goldlin's mind: 'Now, Princess Sophia can't be saved."
Logically speaking, he should have felt very angry, but in fact, Goldlin felt unusually calm.
He vaguely felt that for him personally, the situation was not as serious as he thought.
There are many princesses in the empire, and it is not unacceptable to lose one Sophia.
In addition, recently, Princess Sophia has been protected by Master Rand, and now even Master Rand has not been able to stop Roland. It is understandable that these Sun Warriors and high-level mages failed.
Goldling quickly analyzed the current situation, and soon another idea jumped out.
‘The Red Eagle Army has a thorough plan and a sudden action. With the few people we are chasing the princess, we will not only fail to catch it back, but will suffer serious damage. But if we concentrate on dealing with Roland, whether it is killing him on the spot or captive, it will be a huge contribution!’
As soon as this idea came out, Goldling's gaze at Roland changed. He was no longer a kidnapped bandit, but a huge contribution, a wonderful achievement that could make up for his fault!
"Captain, what should I do now? Go and chase Your Highness?" The voice of deputy commander Amel came over.
Goldlin looked at the phlogistin spell that was still bursting in front of him and whispered: "Amel, now you can change all the warriors to crossbows and equip the magic arrows to shoot the guy in a salvage. Kill this guy first, let's concentrate on saving the princess!"
"Hmm? It's not...I understand!" Amele narrowed his eyes, and the tacit understanding of many years of joint combat allowed him to quickly and accurately understand Goldlin's intentions.
Abnormal action occurred on Guangling's side, and Roland on the other side discovered it immediately.
He was mentally prepared for this.
Without Princess Sophia as a shield for him, if the other party loses his concerns, he will naturally let go of his hands and feet to attack. The pressure he is under will definitely increase several times.
He clearly saw that the sun warriors behind him lined up in an orderly line, each holding a steel crossbow in his hands. The crossbow arrows in the crossbow emitted a faint blue light, which was obvious at first glance, which was a special method of breaking the magic arrow.
There was also the commander of the Sun Warrior Order. He once again pulled out the golden longbow and pointed the arrow at his body, but it kept attracting it without any attack. It was obviously waiting for the right opportunity to take action.
Such a method does pose a huge threat to him. As long as Roland makes a mistake in reaction, he will have a high chance of being killed on the spot!
But Guangling has new ways, and Roland also has his countermeasures!
After lurking in Sunshine Castle for so many days, he had already figured out the structure of the castle clearly.
Seeing that Guangling was about to shoot at him, Roland suddenly stopped casting spells, bowed his body, exerted force with his legs, jumped out to the left, and rushed behind a moon white stone statue.
The statue is about 2.5 meters high, with a mermaid with a human body and a fish tail. The base is rolling waves, and below is a small round fountain pool.
Roland hid behind the thick base and temporarily left Guangling's sight.
At this time, he had 32% of his mana left, and his absolute strength value was about 25,000, which was similar to the previous peak, and it was enough for him to use various spells.
After hiding, Roland immediately activated the effect of the Winter suit, and his magical aura quickly converged until it completely disappeared.
In the mage's perception, Roland seemed to evaporate out of thin air.
The Light Spirit Masters have been using their magical power to lock Roland, but now this thing has disappeared. There is a hint of confusion on their faces, feeling that the front is empty and there is no point of focus.
"Shot! Cover shooting!"
"Shield Warrior, charge at full speed!"
Almost at the same time, Goldling's roar continued to sound.
‘Crash collapse collapse collapse collapse collapse collapse collapse ~’
The crossbows were fired at once, and bright blue lines drew parabolas in the sky, all gathering towards the mermaid statue.
The sun warriors who had been suppressed by Roland for a long time also relaxed their depression in their chests, burst out with all their strength, and rushed towards Roland's hiding place.
‘Bang bang bang ~’
The magic crossbow arrow hit the mermaid statue, directly penetrated into the soft and delicate moon white stone, and then came out from the other side and inserted it on the grass.
A few seconds later, the fastest-running team of sun warriors crossed more than 200 meters and rushed to the mermaid statue. Then, the team of sun warriors stood motionless, all stunned on the spot.
A bad feeling arose in Goldlin's heart and asked loudly, "What's going on before? Why are you standing still?!"
After shouting twice, a Sun Warrior turned around, cried with a sad face, and shouted, "Captain, he ran away."
"Running? How did you run!"
Goldlin loosened the tense bowstring, leaped harder and jumped out more than 40 meters. He jumped several times in a row and then arrived next to the broken mermaid statue.
He saw that there was a hole less than half a meter in diameter at the bottom of the fountain pool under the statue. The entrance was covered with gravel, and the pool water was pouring into the entrance. After a while, the pool water flowed away, leaving only a dark and dark hole, like a mouth that was wide open.
It is the outlet of the fountain pool. The outlet was originally very small, which could maintain the balance between the water in and out of the fountain pool. Now it has been made into a big hole by Roland, and the water in the pool will naturally flow.
As far as Goldlin knows, below the outlet, the castle's drainage channel is connected.
This drainage passage is complicated and there are many places where solid iron fences are used to block it. Ordinary people cannot get out at all. However, it is not ordinary people who escaped, but an extremely powerful mage.
Since the other party dared to escape from here, he must have a full understanding of the direction of the waterway in advance and would never get lost. The iron fences naturally could not stop him.
What makes people most desperate is that Roland doesn't know what means he used, and no magic power is transmitted, so he cannot use magic to track and locate it.
Goldlin looked at the dark and faint hole, feeling unwilling. He turned to the captain of the mage who followed and said, "Holly, can you still chase after him?"
The corners of Hawley's mouth were almost drooping to his chin, and his face was filled with depression: "You can chase after him, but I'm afraid that someone will be killed and will come out if I have no life."
The drainage channel is so narrow that their number advantage is completely untouched. With Roland's previous combat skills, no mage present was his opponent, and the most likely situation was that he would kill him in one encounter.
This obviously life-threatening trick is not something that Master Guangling is willing to do.
Goldlin stomped the charred mud hard and couldn't help but scold, "What a damn!"
Not only did the princess be kidnapped, but the kidnappers escaped unscathed. This is a naked humiliation, a mark of shame that can never be erased on them!
But to be honest, he didn't dare to chase him.
After a few seconds of silence, Goldlin suddenly turned around and yelled at everyone: "Why are you all here for a moment? Why don't you chase after him quickly and save His Highness!"
There was no hope for Roland, so he could only continue to save the princess.
He knew that the possibility of saving the princess was slim, but he had to do it, even if it was just pretending. Otherwise, when they returned home, they would definitely be bitten by the dogs in the parliament and bleeding.
