Chapter 143 Escort and escape!

The water in the fountain drained quickly.

The entire fountain pool rises upwards, revealing the broad and solid buildings below.

Xiao Mengluo stood at the entrance of a gate, and was entering the corresponding password as the metal pipe said.

Drop drop!
Verification passed!

rumbling--

The door opened on both sides.

One after another, two-meter-tall robots came out of the door.

"Accept the order and immediately deploy reinforcements!"

"All lift off—"

"set off!"

Armed with huge guns, the robots quickly flew into the sky and headed towards the north of the city.

on the ground.

Liu Ping and Xiao Mengluo stood in place, stunned for a while.

"Hey, this is the robot guard we released, at least leave us two as helpers." Liu Ping said dissatisfied.

After a holy chant treatment, his arm has recovered a lot, at least he can no longer see the blood flowing.

——But it is not enough to use it for fighting.

Holy chant is an elementary healing spell, and it can only do so much at most.

A cold metallic sound sounded:

"For this war, mechanical guards are of great use. I must place them where they are most needed, not leave them to you."

"You defeated the Iron Armored Giant and awakened the backup mechanical guards, which contributed to an important opportunity to change the situation for the entire battle."

"According to your situation, the corresponding supplies are ready."

Two metal tubes appeared from the void and slowly expanded, placing something in front of the two of them.

In front of Xiao Mengluo was a brand new metal bow and a set of light leather armor.

She tried the new bow, and found it to be light and easy to use, much easier to use than her original novice wooden bow.

The leather armor also fits very well, as if it was custom-made for myself.

Liu Ping got a potion of stamina replenishment and healing.

After drinking it, his physical strength immediately recovered to a full level.

The wound on the arm has also completely healed.

Beside the potion, there is a dark blue spear.

Liu Ping picked up the spear.

In the void, rows of small burning characters quickly appeared:
"The Thorn of Frost, the spear of protection of Frostwind City."

"Spear."

"Have the ability to:"

"Advanced sharpness: ordinary armor and weapons cannot resist its attack."

"Winter: Its attack comes with a cold effect, which can delay the enemy's attack and movement speed to a certain extent."

"Friend of Frost: Summons a Frost Warhorse, the spirit of Spear, that can serve as your mount."

"—As a full-level knight at level 2, this spear is the strongest weapon you can wield."

"It's sure to make your battle even better."

Liu Ping waved the spear casually.

I saw bursts of icy cold mist emanating from the spear, showing its characteristics of civilized frost elements.

Such a spear is really powerful.

Coupled with the shield he had just obtained: Knight Protector, Liu Ping felt that his combat power had improved by leaps and bounds.

"It seems that we still need to participate in the war more." He said thoughtfully.

"It's all in exchange for your life. It's not that easy to fight for your life." Xiao Mengluo reminded.

"But we don't have to choose, do we?" Liu Ping smiled.

"I originally thought that Eternal Night was eternal tranquility." Xiao Mengluo sighed.

"How did you die?" Liu Ping asked.

"I was born in a world full of forests. Since I was young, I was trained by the clan because I was good at bows and arrows... But once the night elves came to slaughter our village, I died in battle."

"How many night elves have you killed?"

"All."

"Is it possible to reach this level at the age of 13... You are worthy of the training in the clan." Liu Ping said.

"When I died, I felt that I had nothing to worry about, but I didn't expect to face a more bizarre and terrifying war after I died." Xiao Mengluo said.

She thought for a while, and continued: "Perhaps those humans who live to their prime, or even old age, will adapt to this eternal night."

Liu Ping shook his head and said, "If the soul can be eaten by the devil at any time, even people who have lived for hundreds of years will never feel comfortable."

Suddenly, a male voice sounded from a distance:
"So do you regret it? The guy who fell into the eternal night because of robbing women."

Liu Ping and Xiao Mengluo turned their heads to look.

I saw Libertas wearing a black leather armor, holding a short sword and a dagger, standing on a wall, smiling at the two of them.

"I thought you were in the library." Liu Ping said.

Libertas said in a triumphant tone: "In the beginning, I fell in the library, but after killing a few devils, the city's war system thought I was very powerful, so they helped me advance to the rank of official assassin , and then solemnly send me to save you two lost lambs."

He suddenly saw the body of the iron armored giant.

"This wound—there is such a monster—you killed it?"

Startled, Libertas jumped down from the wall, walked up to the corpse, and poked the Iron Golem with his short sword and dagger.

——Neither dagger nor dagger could pierce the armor.

Libertas was startled, and suddenly let out a roar, stabbing the dagger hard at the iron armor.

when!
With a crisp sound, the dagger was bounced back.

Libertas took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and immediately saw the spear in Liu Ping's hand.

"This perverted guy..." he whispered.

"What did you say?" Liu Ping asked.

"Aha, I said that I lost my direction in life in the eternal night. Only after I saw you did I realize that you are the lighthouse, and I am a lost lamb."

Libertas laughed immediately.

"This is your teammate?" Xiao Mengluo asked Liu Ping.

"Yes, he would have been an excellent assassin, but died young—similar to your and my situation." Liu Ping said.

After finishing speaking, Liu Ping said to Libertas: "This is Xiao Mengluo from the Wild Rose Team, now act with us."

"I heard that the Wild Rose team was wiped out. Is she the only one left?" Libertas asked with interest.

"It's me." Xiao Mengluo admitted.

"Why don't you join us? We have a knight, an assassin, and a summoner, and we just need a long-range attack class." Libertas said.

Xiao Mengluo glanced at Liu Ping and said softly: "Of course I am willing. After all, I cannot support myself. It depends on whether your regiment leader is willing to take me in."

"I'm the team leader," Libertas said, patting his chest, "Okay, I'm the master, you join our team."

"Really? Are you the team leader?" Xiao Mengluo doubted.

"Really! From now on, you are a member of our regiment!" Libertas said.

The void quietly split open.

A long metal pipe came out and said in an indifferent voice:
"Team leader Liu Ping, do you accept Xiao Mengluo's joining?"

"Accept." Liu Ping said.

"Xiao Mengluo has joined your team." That voice said.

"Thank you." Liu Ping said.

"Please wait for a while, wait for the result of the mechanical guard's battle, and then you will get a new mission."

The metal pipe retracted, and the void closed.

The world returns to peace.

"..." Xiao Mengluo.

"..." Libertas.

Liu Ping walked to one side of the grass, sat down and said, "Hurry up and rest, I don't know what will happen in a while."

Xiao Mengluo showed a tired look on her face, and took advantage of the situation to sit down and rest.

So did Libertas.

The two of them are just teenagers, suddenly faced with such a harsh situation, even hand in hand with the devil, such a high-intensity life-and-death battle, already physically and mentally exhausted.

After about 2 minutes.

Flames shot up to the sky in the north of the city.

The sound of fierce fighting came from afar, resounding through the sky.

Xiao Mengluo said: "The mechanical guards have started to fight the devil."

Liu Ping said: "Yes, I don't know what their combat effectiveness is."

Suddenly, three metal pipes appeared from the void.

They are gently connected to the backs of Liu Ping, Libertas and Xiao Mengluo.

Then an indifferent voice sounded:

"Issuing an urgent mission."

"escort."

"Underground on the south side of the city, an alternate escape route has been activated."

"There is a carriage on the bridge to the south of the city, and there is an important person in the city on it. You must escort him to evacuate from the city."

"action!"

In an instant, the three of them disappeared from where they were.

……

south of the city.

There is a bridge leading to the outside here, and after crossing the bridge, there is a vast expanse of wilderness.

In front of a carriage.

Liu Ping, Libertas and Xiao Mengluo appeared together.

"Is this the carriage?" Xiao Mengluo asked.

"It should be." Liu Ping said.

"The war system sent a group of robot guards to the north to fight against the devil, but arranged important people in the south. It seems that they have used their brains." Libertas said with emotion.

The roar from the north intensified, as if the war had reached a fever pitch.

- Right now is the best opportunity!

The carriage moved suddenly.

A voice came from the carriage: "Thank you for your hard work, we will set off immediately!"

The speed of the carriage suddenly increased, and it rushed towards the bridge.

The three had no choice but to speed up to keep up with the carriage.

Soon.

The carriage reached the middle of the long bridge.

A black streamer flashed in the sky, hitting the carriage with lightning speed——

boom! ! !
The carriage immediately fell apart.

The strong shock wave sent the three people who were guarding the carriage flying away and fell far to the ground.

A two-winged monster descended from the sky.

It looks like a human being, but it has two horns on its head, and its body exudes a monstrous power.

Twelve monsters in black cloaks then landed on both sides of it, surrounding the carriage.

In the broken carriage, an intermittent voice sounded:

"Stop...let me go...you can say anything you want!"

The monster didn't listen at all, grabbed the carriage casually, and threw it down hard.

Boom!

A small robot backed out of the wagon.

"Damn it!"

"The plan has been seen through! The plan has been seen through!"

cried the little robot.

At the same time, a group of flames suddenly burst into the sky in the city.

A strange bird descended from the sky and said anxiously:
"My lord, this is a cover - the target is at the city gate to the east, where a large number of humans suddenly gathered, and they are breaking through!"

"Hmph, I got three level [-] professional cards to sneak around here, so it turned out to be a slap in the face—how is the battle at the eastern city gate?" a monster asked.

It shot at will and sent the small robot flying.

The blow was so fierce that the small robot disintegrated in the air.

"Sir, the east side is almost broken by them!" the strange bird hurriedly said.

"Don't let them break through, let's go!"

The humanoid monster said hastily, and immediately soared into the sky, flying towards the east of Frostwind City.

The other monsters followed closely behind.

One of the monsters dropped something casually, and then quickly chased after it.

Quiet was restored on the bridge.

Liu Ping put the shield in front of him and stood up cautiously.

Libertas said behind him: "Have we recovered a life?"

"It seems so, they don't even want to waste the time to kill us." Xiao Mengluo said.

"No, look at that thing quickly." Liu Ping said.

The three of them looked towards the bridge ahead, only to see that what the monster dropped was a metal disc.

In the disc, a black plant is slowly sprouting.

At this moment, the shattered small robot suddenly made a sound:

"Quick! Liuping, use your halo to move it away! Throw it into the river!"

Without hesitation, Liu Ping immediately opened the halo, and moved the metal disc out of thin air into the void outside the bridge.

The metal disc turned into a black dot, and quickly fell towards the bridge.

thump!
It made a small splash on the rushing river, and was quickly swept away.

"Can we save you?"

Liu Ping walked to the robot, squatted down and asked.

The whole body of the small robot has been shattered, only a palm-sized box remains intact, constantly flashing red light.

It said hastily:
"Don't worry about me, you must escape from here immediately."

"Please note that the escape route is 300 meters away from the bridge. In the wasteland covered with small white flowers, the way to open the passage is to announce the name of your team and drop a drop of blood on any flower."

"You are the real target, please enter the passage immediately!"
