Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World Chapter 178

Even after dark, the streets of Nisberg are still very lively. As a commercial city, it has a relatively colorful nightlife in this era.

It wasn't until after 9 o'clock in the evening that the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed and went home to rest.

A procession started from the back door of the church and went straight to the north gate from the street.

This team included a carriage pulled by two horses and 30 knights, 10 of whom were fully armed and wore heavy armor, and the other 20 were wearing ordinary clothes, but they were also carrying weapons such as swords.

The team quickly reached the north gate, and was stopped by the guards guarding the gate.

The leading knight was nervous for a while, could it be that he leaked the news?

He remained calm on the surface, "What's the matter? I remember that the north city gate can still enter and exit at night?"

"Master Paladin."

The guard recognized that the other party was a member of the church, and his attitude became extremely respectful.

"A nobleman from the Principality of Eaton was arrested in the city. We were ordered to check the vehicles and boxes of passers-by."

An angry expression appeared on the knight's face:

"Nonsense, do you think our holy servants would do that kind of thing?"

"No, no, no! Of course I dare not, but this is an order from above, and there is nothing we can do about it."

The knight blew his beard and stared, "You..."

"What happened?"

A sleepy-eyed man who was also dressed as a guard came over.

"Captain, the people in the church won't let us check!"

As soon as he heard the word "church", the team leader shuddered all of a sudden, and his head suddenly woke up.

The knight looked at the captain with a look of disdain.

"The special envoy from the Holy Capital is sitting in the car. Tonight, there is an urgent matter to go to a church outside the city. The special envoy is too tired during the day, and now he is taking a nap in the car. If you want to disturb this lord, hum!"

This sentence was full of threats, and the squad leader immediately slapped the guard on the face after hearing it.

"Blind your dog's eyes! You can check the convoy of Master Paladin!"

A trace of reluctance flashed across the guard's face, but he apologized quickly.

The captain said flatteringly to the knight: "Hey, please don't take it seriously, my brother is a newcomer, and he is not sensible yet."

Then he yelled at his men: "Let go! Let go!"

The knight gave him a look of "you are sensible", and didn't bother to say a word. He clamped his horse's belly and continued to move forward, and the team behind him also moved with him.

The squad leader grabbed the guard and went to a corner to count them down.

"Are you crazy! How dare you check the church's car? If they label you as 'suspected of witchcraft', maybe even we will follow you."

The guard looked aggrieved: "Captain, are we going to let them be so arrogant?"

"Hmph, don't worry, I heard some rumors, it is said that the council..."

The squad leader and the guard muttered quietly.

The church team quickly moved away from the city of Nissberg. Gradually, there were no lights on both sides of the road, and more trees began to grow.

"Captain, is it really right for us to do this? Is it against the hadith of the Lord of Light?"

Seeing that there was no one around, a young church knight couldn't help expressing his doubts.

Imprisoning a noble girl secretly is not the right way no matter how you think about it.

The man called the captain, the leading knight, he sighed.

"I don't know if it's right to do this. But I was raised by the church. If it wasn't for the church, I might starve to death on the street when I was 10 years old."

"So, as long as it is an order from the church, I will execute it without hesitation."

The knight who asked the question fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

The team moved on and entered a dense forest, and everyone lit torches to illuminate.

Except for the sound of horseshoes and the bumping of the carriage, the whole night was quiet.

Suddenly, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and something seemed to shoot towards them in the dark night.

A knight in heavy armor only felt a strong slam hit his body, and was almost pushed off his horse.

He understood instantly in his mind that the team was under attack.

But the first wave of attacks did not go towards people, but the horses that the knights dismounted.

The sound of arrows piercing into the flesh sounded again and again, and many war horses were hit one after another, and then went crazy, carrying the knights on their backs and ran wildly in the dark night without thinking!

The knights immediately rolled over and fell to the ground, returning to the vicinity of the carriage.

The captain yelled: "Enemy attack! Get closer to the carriage!"

"Who dares to attack the church team?"

A response came from the dark night: "If you want to cross this road, leave the money on your body!"

The captain secretly hated: "The city guards' **** can encounter bandits on the road so close to the city!"

Immediately, the second wave of crossbow arrows struck, and this time the target was people. Five people from the church were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground.

Several knights threw the torches in their hands to the surrounding area. Under the light of the fire, they saw figures in the surrounding woods.

"There are people in the west! There are people in the east! Hughes, you lead your people to the west, and Horn and your people stay to watch the carriage! The others follow me!"

The captain quickly issued an order, and the knights quickly divided into three groups.

These church knights have been trained in martial arts since childhood, but they have not received systematic military education. They just rely on the enthusiasm in their hearts, thinking that they are invincible under the protection of the Lord of Light.

Ambushing by the side of the road were the Eton bodyguards summoned by the grand princess. They all changed into black clothes and carried strong bows and crossbows.

But because of the dark night, the hit rate of the arrow crossbow was greatly reduced, and the effect was not as good as expected.

Seeing the church knights rushing towards him, the guards drew out their weapons and started close combat with them.

They couldn't show that they were too interested in the carriage, otherwise the other party would probably take Her Royal Highness Fanny as a hostage, so they pretended to be bandits blocking the way.

There were 35 Eaton guards who came to set up an ambush. Being able to become the guards of the Grand Duke and his wife was naturally skillful, and relying on the advantage in numbers, they gradually gained the upper hand.

After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, less than half of the church knights who rushed out had suffered casualties. The captain of the knights yelled: "Haun, we are entangled with the enemy, run away!"

The knights who stayed where they were and the grooms on the carts lashed their whips and galloped north, not caring about whether there was an ambush on the road ahead.

Just when they secretly prayed in their hearts that there would be no second wave of ambushes ahead, they ushered in a cruel reality.

Another team—about 10 people—intercepted them. Their number was so small that there were 6 people including the coachman, and the opponent no longer bothered to use sneak attacks.

"Church dog!"

The leader on the opposite side scolded them angrily. He put his hands together, and there was a sudden white light between the two palms and there was a crackling sound, as if lightning was brewing in it.

"wizard!"

The church knight named Horn yelled in shock, and the four of his subordinates also panicked, unexpectedly meeting the wizard in the wild without any preparation.

"Don't panic!" Horn yelled, "Slaughter that **** who is doing it first!"

He rushed over immediately.

"Almighty Lord! Bless us to defeat xiéè!"

The other four knights also followed Horn to charge.

After the knights had a certain impact speed, another person in the roadblock stretched his hands forward and muttered: "Wall shield technique."

In an instant, the five knights on the opposite side seemed to have hit a stone wall. The horses under their crotches were smashed to the ground, and the knights were also fell off the horses due to the huge recoil force, and the two of them fell unconscious. Awake.

"Hmph! A bunch of fools who bite at every hook! Kill them."

The light in the hand of the person who did it earlier disappeared, and he spat at the fallen knight.

The people around him immediately rushed to the knight who was knocked into a dazed state, killing them one by one.

The two casters just discussed in a low voice:

"I didn't expect the Principality of Eaton to find out the news. The **** in the church can't even keep it secret. What should I do? Should I hand him over to them directly?"

"No, it's still according to the original plan, hey, we have prepared a few episodes!"

"Okay, do as you say."

Everyone then walked towards the carriage. At this time, the driving seat in front was already empty. The coachman had already taken advantage of the confusion just now and slipped away, perhaps hiding in a nearby bush and shivering.

But they were not interested in the driver, they were interested in the people in the carriage.

But something happened that surprised them.

The two horses pulling the cart turned around by themselves and galloped in the direction of Nisberg.

"what happened?"

"Chase!"

A group of people ran back to untie the horses tied to the nearby tree, and rode on the horses to chase the carriage, but at this time the carriage was far away from them.

At this time, there was a sudden flash of language on the driver's seat of the carriage, and the figures of two women flashed out.

"How long can the effect of Light Feather Technique last?"

"It can last for half an hour!"

Hearing Ladi's answer, Helen felt a little uneasy: half an hour is too short.

Why is there a second wave of people on the road? And the opponent's target is obviously also his sister, at least two of their team are wizards, could it be the wave of people who attacked her before?

In front of the carriage, I met the former Eaton guards. There were only 10 of them left, and they were galloping along this road. It seemed that they had ended the battle with the church knights.

Seeing the carriage rushing towards them, the guards couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Only a female voice was heard shouting: "There are people chasing us from behind, stop them!"

It's the voice of the Grand Duchess! Although the two women in the seat were masked, they could not mistake the voice.

It was too late to ask why the Grand Duchess appeared here. The 10 guards let go of the carriage and guarded the road in full force, waiting for the so-called pursuers in Helen's mouth.

After continuing to run for half an hour, the effect of the Light Feather Technique disappeared, and the speed of the carriage dropped a lot.

What made their hearts even heavier was that the sound of horseshoes sounded again behind them.

Especially Helen, most of the guards she summoned were far from good, and a huge sense of guilt lingered in her heart.

"A little further distance will be the city gate!"

The two girls were overjoyed, and they couldn't do anything to them if they rushed into the city to pursue the soldiers.

But I didn't want the horse pulling the cart suddenly stumbled and almost fell, and the carriage suddenly lost speed.

The land below is undergoing amazing changes. The originally hard road surface has become a big swamp.

"Swamp! Damn it!"

"Sister, I can only fight face to face with them!"

Ladi and Helen quickly got out of the carriage, resisting their nausea and slipping through the quagmire. Fortunately, the quagmire was not deep, otherwise they would just be stuck in it and unable to walk.

The pursuers quickly rushed up.

"Haha! I didn't expect that the swamp spell, which was supposed to be a chance, hit the target. Today must be my lucky day."

The leader of the pursuers laughed.

"You two beautiful xiaojies, seeing that the carriage ran so fast just now, they must have used some unknown method?"

"Let me guess, light feather technique? Or acceleration technique? Oh, no, acceleration technique can only be applied to the human body, so it must be light feather technique!"

Ladi asked aloud: "Who are you guys? What is the intention of what you did tonight?"

"Then I want to ask you instead? Who are you? What is the purpose of grabbing this carriage?"

"We are the child's friends, of course we want to save her back."

The chasing soldiers burst into laughter again: "We are also here to save her!"

Helen shouted angrily: "Nonsense! Say~www.mtlnovel.com~ Did you gang up on Fanny back then? Fallen wizard!"

"Fallen wizards? Then what are you? Are you not the same as us?"

"Who is the same as you!"

The leader of the pursuers shook his head: "I don't want to be your enemy! Wizards should unite against the oppression of the church! So I advise you, give this little girl to me, and I will guarantee her safety. Oh, yes, Do you want to join us, join the wizarding family?"

Helen was about to speak, but was stopped by Ladi. She asked, "Wizard family? Are you a secret society?"

"Secret societies? Yes, but they won't be secrets anytime soon."

"What's the name of your organization?"

The leader of the chasing soldiers seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally said: "Secret fǎhuì! Have you heard of it?"

"Secret fǎhuì?" La Di was startled, it was this organization again.

"You said let us hand over Fanny, what do you need her for? Make her a wizard too?"

The leader of the chasing soldiers shook his head: "To tell you the truth, we were indeed the ones who bǎngjià the Countess back then, and we bǎngjià her not to make him a member of the organization. Now she is too young."

"However, if you want to know, you must submit to us. We are open to all wizards of the same kind."

He took out two scrolls from his pocket.

"We signed an agreement, an agreement bound by magic, you join us, we promise not to attack little girls."

Ladi and Helen glanced at each other, those two scrolls must be unusual.

"What if we refuse?"

The leader of the pursuers answered them coldly: "Then you will die!"
