Chapter 165: Who Is in Cahoots With Whom?
Sophia looked confused.
Is that young master Karoso making that noise? What does he have against me?
At first, Sophia thought Whyte was capturing her to give her to Karoso. Now that Elizabeth has also been captured, it seems like something else is going on.
Tonight, Sophia has been feeling confused the whole time. First she ran, then she got caught, then she was taken all over the place. She has no idea what these people are up to.
When the monster appeared, Sophia was completely terrified. The last time something like this happened, the whole Canglang Province was filled with corpses. Who knows how many people died before they got rid of those monsters.
Strangely, these monsters don’t attack the group she’s in. Instead, they go after the civilians.
Being already nervous, Sophia encountered another trouble at this moment, Karoso…
Karoso’s command was simple, to fire at Sophia…
Hearing this, Whyte felt a chill in his heart.
Karoso, how could it be? Why is he still alive!
Wait, where’s Terry?
He’s a seventh-tier thief who didn’t complete his mission, where did he go?
The sound of a heavy machine gun rang out again, and all the bullets flew towards Sophia.
Bang, bang, bang…
Ghouls were torn to pieces by the force of the bullets, as the soldiers tried to take advantageous positions but before they could act, they saw a black mist emanating from the priest.
"Damn, why does all the fighting have to rely on this thing…" the black-robed priest threw out a card.
Two soldiers attempting to take positions were grabbed by the black mist around their necks and then completely turned into dry husks.
Before long, two skeletons emerged from the bodies of the soldiers.
"This girl must be protected by me, I’ll risk my life to get her to safety first!" the black-robed priest shouted, "If anything happens to her, none of you will survive."
"What’s going on?"
"Skeleton summoning…"
"What does our leader want to do?"
"Something’s not right tonight."
"Are we helping monsters?"
Those soldiers are getting scared.
When the monsters didn’t attack them at first, they felt something was off.
Now, that priest has actually summoned skeletons upon them!
Being shot by Whyte and being killed by the black-robed priest are different, they know How Whyte kills, but the black-robed priest…
Could this be the legendary Death Knight that was thought to be extinct long ago?
Are these soldiers really people, not controlled machines? Frank is a fanatical believer, but they are not.
Seeing this, many of them started to sneak away.
"Trying to escape?" The black-robed priest emitted a dark aura, wrapping the soldiers in place with black threads, causing their flesh to fall off and turn into skeletons.
The soldiers who wanted to run dared not do so now, but they would definitely escape given the chance.
"Make your people form a human wall and escort her out!" the black-robed priest shouted at Whyte.
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Whyte tried to grab Elizabeth, but the black-robed priest kicked him in the rear, causing him to fall flat on his face.
"I told you to command your men to protect her as the top priority!" the black-robed priest said fiercely.
"Yes, yes…" Whyte hurriedly ordered, "All of you, listen to the priest, protect Sophia well. If she loses a single hair, I will have you all shot."
Sophia was getting more confused.
Why does it seem like I am working with these monsters and the bad guys trying to catch me?
Drip, drip, drip…
The sound of machine gun fire was relentless, Whyte’s soldiers started decreasing rapidly.
Whyte had located the enemy machine gunner. Just as he was about to have the sniper counterattack, he realized that he had very few soldiers left, and the ghouls kept coming as a human shield.
Moving less than twenty meters came at a heavy cost.
As they started to retreat, a figure dashed out and swiftly grabbed Elizabeth, it was Will.
"Focus fire on him!" Whyte ordered decisively.
Will raised his shield, and all the bullets hit the shield.
The black-robed priest saw the opponent’s expert make a move, so he quickly took out a card and sent a black energy towards Will.
Bang!
Will felt a jolt under his feet, and a suit of armor appeared out of thin air, blocking the black energy.
……
"Karoso, please help Will," Teresa quickly asked Karoso.
"I don’t have enough magic power and the casting distance is not sufficient. With the enemy’s protection, Will may not be able to control him for twenty seconds," Karoso explained. "Also, these cards have been used today and can only be used again tomorrow."
"Don’t worry, Will is fine. Bring up the cannons, aim at Sophia, and fire!"
Click, click…
Two newly bought cannons were pushed out, and two cannonballs were launched towards the enemy’s camp.
The black-robed priest saw what was happening and quickly stood in front of the cannonball.
Boom, boom!
With two loud explosions, he blocked the cannonball with his body.
[What kind of Russian-style rescue is this?]
[Damn, Master Karoso’s gameplay is too intense.]
[Master Karoso, be a bit gentler with Sophia.]
[Isn’t this too cruel, firing directly towards Sophia?]
[Uh… in our storyline, Sophia and Master Karoso are indeed archenemies.]
[They’re not enemies yet.]
[I was wrong, I shouldn’t have let Master Karoso come to the City of Freedom.]
[If Sophia gets bombarded, it will be a big trouble.]
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. The more they care about her, the less likely they will let anything happen to her. It would be a waste not to target where it hurts the most with such an easy target around." Karoso waved his small hand again. "Fire!"
Boom, boom…
Two more cannonballs were fired.
The priest had no choice but to fend for himself.
As he blocked the two cannonballs, he let out a sharp whistle, attracting many monsters, including some sixth-tier ones, towards them.
Seeing an opportunity, Will grabbed the unconscious Elizabeth and quickly retreated back into Karoso’s camp.
"Retreat!" Karoso waved his small hand.
"Wait, are we looking for her?" Teresa froze. "What about Sophia, don’t we care?"
"Do you know what Sophia is for?" Karoso gave Teresa a strange look.
"I don’t know, but if the enemy is protecting her so fiercely, shouldn’t we try to grab her too?" Teresa said helplessly.
"Do you want to become a target for all the monsters in the city?" Karoso said helplessly.
"Is it that important?" Teresa was taken aback. "What do you know?"
"The priest summoned so many monsters for her, there will only be more." Karoso said. "First, we need to get to Presea’s headquarters, our forces are still too few."
"Presea’s headquarters also won’t have too many enchanted bullets." Teresa frowned. "Dealing with such large-scale monsters, unless deploying army-level units with heavy weapons, we’ll be far behind."
"Don’t worry." Karoso took Elizabeth from Will’s hands. "I’m carrying equipment for a whole army."
