Chapter VII The Spark of War
Hadro felt that he had once again underestimated the strength of these two people.
"I'm here, mainly looking for a woman named Niya."
Moya looked around the hall and found no woman who met the conditions. There were only three or two female mercenaries, but their eyes did not look familiar with each other, and they should not be the so-called "Nia".
"Nia? What are you looking for her?" Hadro asked in a deep voice when he suddenly pulled away Sistale.
"The purpose of the leader arresting me is to buy a good price. After all, there are fewer and fewer people in Trut now, and the price of this bounty has been rising." Just looking at the flashy decorations in the hall, you can see that the mercenary leader is just a greedy warrior. If you know her identity, you would not have the idea of arresting yourself and receiving the reward from the city lord. Even if you really need to reward, the target should be the Light Church in the city.
"Since this woman gave your idiot subordinate the order to kill me, I naturally have to see who has such a deep hatred with me and wants my life."
Although Hadro had doubts about Moya's words, he was currently only considering how to capture the bounty that came to his door.
"Hey... since you know my purpose, you dare to fall into the trap?" Hadro looked at his subordinate standing beside him, with the same idea as Toss, attacking the Truth woman who was invisible first. Even if she was a powerful mage, she would not be able to escape from the crowd.
"Since I dare to come to the door, of course I am confident that I can leave here alive." Without carefully identifying the tiny steps approaching quietly, Moya already knew their exact location.
"Thunder and lightning vortex!!" In order to pursue visual shock, Moya specially chose the most gorgeous thunder magic.
With only a second-level range magic, Moya radiated several mercenaries who were close to him, and also achieved immediate results. As expected, the other mercenaries did not dare to approach her at will, and just circled around her, hoping to find a suitable opportunity before starting.
Looking at the exquisite decoration in the hall damaged by lightning, Hadro felt a pain.
He spent a lot of money to build this barracks. If the woman continues to use magic, she must be razed to the ground.
But at this moment, a violent explosion came from the warehouse where weapons were piled up behind.
"Captain, it's not good, the warehouse is on fire!!" The orc who was responsible for guarding the supplies crawled out of the passage in a mess.
"What's going on?"
"I...I don't know either. I just felt a flash of figure in front of me, and then it exploded. The flame rushed to Lao Gao and could not be saved at all. Now it has burned into the courtyard."
As he was talking, a few more explosions came.
When Hadro and his subordinates saw that not only the mercenary headquarters he had spent a lot of money to build had caught fire, but even the nearby houses were burning.
"How... how could this happen?" Hadro looked at the years of hard work that had been ruined. He turned around and stared at Moya, who had just escaped from the barracks. "It's you, right? It's you who sent someone to secretly blow up my barracks!!"
"You should be glad that I didn't do it, otherwise the fire must have burned more vigorously than it is now."
"Don't let them go!!" Hadro, who was anxious and red-eyed, led his mercenaries to surround Moya and Sistale.
"It's not good..." Looking around at the situation, Moya seemed a little annoyed.
In any case, she is now in a dilemma.
Although using a large-scale high-level magic can solve all the troubles at once, using such magic releases in dense towns will inevitably lead to a disaster of heavy casualties. If these mercenaries are to be solved one by one, the city defense troops that arrive later will never let her escape easily. Once the identity is exposed, the Church of Light will be entangled. Compared with ordinary mercenaries, the Knights of Light are much more threatening.
As he got here, Moya suddenly became alert.
Could it be... this is also a premeditated plan?
Who is "Nia"? Not only is she familiar with her identity, but she also knows her temperament so well. After seeing that she will definitely come to find Hadro's bad luck, she set up the trap of setting fire. Who will it be?
Bai Ling?
No, it's impossible. I heard that she has returned to the Southern Continent.
Sears was busy dealing with the chaos in the Ming and Suzhou, and had no time to take care of other matters.
Batuya, Lat, Vic and others have not appeared yet. Could it be them?
Or the Church of Light?
No, it is unlikely. The Church of Light is now busy dealing with the upcoming army of undead. They now have no extra energy to tear their faces with the night elves who are sticking to the only way for the undead to go south on the East Continent.
Could it be the Great Elder Anster?
The possibility...is not great. He would not have been able to take action before unifying all the night elves.
Who is it?
Who is it?
Who is the one who hides in the dark and manipulates all this?
Nia must be just a puppet, and a real decision maker will never be able to go into battle in person.
Since this mysterious character knows my true identity when he knows the brief clues obtained from the mercenary, he does not leak it but triggers a fire. What is his intention?
The fire became bigger and bigger, and the entire street was ignited in a blink of an eye.
The residents of Plalis were woken up from their sleep, and the people nearby joined the firefighting team.
"Haaaa!!"
Hadro waved his hands and slashed left and right, but Sistale skillfully dodged and failed again and again.
The orc surrounding Moya was afraid of her magic, and several symbolic spy attacks were all shot by the fireball and the wind blades one by one, no one was willing to try it out, how much magic the priestess could cast.
"Does go! Dos go!! We are from the escort team. Who dares to set fire in the city?!"
The ordinary people who were originally gathering nearby to watch the Hadro mercenaries fight with others immediately dispersed when they heard this shout.
Sensing that a large group of people were rushing towards where she was, Moya knew that she could not delay any longer. Once her identity was exposed, it would be difficult to leave.
"Sistar! The city defense soldiers are here, and there is no extra time to get entangled with these guys. You can withstand their attack first. I will find a way to escape from the battlefield." Without time to explain, Moya took out the magic phosphor powder specially used for the magic array from the space bag, and groped on the ground to draw the magic array.
Fortunately, in order to prevent being discovered by the Light Church in the city in advance, Moya secretly drew a teleportation method in an alley behind the shop when she was buying clothes during the day. As long as it was not discovered or destroyed, she could use teleportation magic to jump to the location of the portal.
Sistale had to return to Moya and help her drive away the orcs gathered around her.
"Go to die!!"
Seeing that Moya had drawn more than half of the magic circle, Hadro raised his hands and rushed straight over, and he would have to kill the culprit who lost his barracks with one sword.
"Flash!"
Sensing that someone suddenly approached behind him, Moya did not delay much and immediately cast a level 3 flashing magic.
A dazzling ball of light rose from her palm, causing everyone present to subconsciously cover their eyes.
Using this gap, Moya finally completed the final part of the missing magic array. After pouring magic mercury, the shining map array marked that the spell had been completed.
"Sistar!"
Get the signal of retreat and the night elves responsible for blocking the orc mercenaries quickly leave the battlefield.
Hadro and his men waited for the effect of the flash technique to be completed, and then they found that the teleportation array was already shrouded in a white light.
"Want to escape?"
The mercenary commander rushed over, but unfortunately he was still one step late.
The Truth woman he vowed to remove had disappeared without a trace along with her currency.
"Damn... they actually escaped!!" Looking back at the barracks that were already in a sea of fire, Hadro regretted it. At this time, he suddenly realized that there was no shadow of Nia in the crowd around him.
Could it be...she is still inside?
"Nia?!"
"Captain... Stop calling, I saw her escape." Luo Ke stammered and walked forward. He had already escaped before the fire started, and also saw the scene of the leader's woman running away.
"Where is she?"
"Run... ran away. Leader, I saw... I saw... it was her setting the fire..."
"You're talking nonsense!" He strangled Rock's neck fiercely, and Hadro never believed that his woman would betray her.
"Yes, it was the fire she set and her accomplices. She encouraged Buddy to sneak attack the priestess. If it weren't for her, our brothers wouldn't have died so many." Although timid, Rock had joined the mercenary group of Hadro since childhood. With so many companions died, he naturally had to attribute all the blame to the woman named "Nia". If it weren't for her, the leader would never have alienated the many brothers who had made contributions in the group. It was because he listened to the woman's everything that he would have fallen into the current field.
"This is not true..." Hadro fell to the wet ground. The snow had melted under the baking of the fire, revealing the stone brick floor.
He didn't believe that Niya would betray her, why did she set the fire?
As a large number of soldiers joined the firefighting team, the fire that had burned across the street finally eased.
"Hadro, what's going on? Why did your barracks suddenly catch fire?" Guard captain Kermu looked at the mercenary commander with a serious look on his face.
In order to put out the fire, the Knights commander who was in charge of defending the city had to distribute more than half of the troops.
