Chapter 5-1: The Symphony of Destiny Focus on the Center of Focus

Hearing the conversation inside the cave, both Yas and the lieutenant couldn't help but feel saddened. Yesterday Hahn was gone. Today they were facing a life and death decision again. It was surprising that the boy who was your duke would think of letting them go first at the last moment, and even so, the chances that they could escape were few and far between.

Just as everyone was about to say goodbye to each other in life and death, they heard the chief say again, "I say, people, you want to die, but I don't want to die!"

Hearing this, everyone's heart is racing, is there still help?

The chief continued, "At least give them a surprise before they die."

The Duke listened and asked, "What are you going to do about it?"

The chief patted the crossbow beside him and said, "You must not care to use such things, right?"

The duke had nothing to say, because if he were to take up such weapons would be tantamount to throwing away the dignity of a knight, which would be better than letting him die.

The Chief continued, "But then I don't care. I'm a plonker anyway, right?" After saying that, he turned back to the princess and said, "You just have to treat me until I can stand up."

The princess did not care about the duke's opposition at this time, and hurriedly applied a sobriety spell and a morale booster to the chief. As for the effect of these two spells, according to later recollections of the chief: "In addition to not addictive other aspects are completely equivalent to taking morphine, very cool."

In less than two minutes, the effect of the magic worked on the Chief. The chief crawled behind the lieutenant and quietly said to him, "Is there any possibility for your defense barrier to be further enhanced?"

The lieutenant replied, "It should be fine for a short time, but there is no way to continue to maintain the defense when it is used up."

The Chief Minister turned back to the Duke and said, "The man opposite will not observe chivalry as you do, will he?"

Over the past few days, the Duke and the others have basically adapted to this inexplicable style of questioning by the Chief, so they didn't say anything and nodded their heads.

The chief said, "That's good. In a moment, Lieutenant, you will remove the defensive barrier, the opponent will think you have no energy and attack. After their close combat members rush over, you then open the defense barrier in a powerful mode to split the magicians and archers behind with the combat members, and no matter what must be maintained until we finish the enemy inside the defense barrier. " After saying that, and did not wait for the others to speak continued: "Of course if we fail we are nothing more than being killed which is no different from being killed after a few hours =right? " Everyone listened, and could not think of a better way, so they began to prepare according to the plan of the chief. In desperation the lieutenant withdrew the defense barrier.

Both sides do not need to say much, both vow to bring each other to their death.

The barrier just disappeared, the opposing party's attack was issued, an ice ball interspersed with two large fireballs was issued by the magic swordsman and two other magicians, while three long arrows also flew from the archers standing on the flanks. The remaining two swordsmen and an assassin also rushed over under the cover of magic.

The princess of Hylia, standing behind Yas and others, threw out a long-prepared air shield, although there is little energy, was hit by a fireball immediately disappeared. But still for Yas and others to buy a small amount of time. Yaz and the Duke took advantage of this time to shoot down the bow and arrow shot at the lieutenant. Then dodged the remaining one fireball and ice ball.

At the same time, the chief behind was heard to shout, "Lieutenant, this is the time."

Only to see that with the shout, the defensive barrier born from the lieutenant's hands, which had stormed twice as long in scope and strength than just now, straddled between the opposing magicians and swordsmen. The other side was surprised by this sudden change, and several people almost simultaneously thought they had been caught in a trap. There was a pause in the body.

With such an opportunity, Yas and Duke could not let go and simultaneously lunged at the enemy in front of them. Since the lieutenant had to maintain the defensive barrier and could not move, a two-on-three situation was temporarily formed inside the barrier. The two swordsmen were in the front and the assassin was in the back. The two sides were about 5 paces apart.

An instant later, the Duke felt the assassin's figure move a little behind the swordsman in front of Yaz.At the same time saw the assassin suddenly appeared like a bilocation of an identical body.Just heard the princess behind shouted: "Remnant elephant attack, one is a fake."

As soon as the words left his mouth, five people had already exchanged blows. Two clanging sounds. The swordsman in front of Yas was seen to be split into two pieces from his left shoulder to his right waist. Yaz's abdomen was also opened an inch deep wound by his opponent. The Duke, on the other hand, leaned his back against Yas and blocked the assassin's sneak attack on Yas from behind, while he himself was cut by another swordsman on his right leg. The assassin's back and the swordsman's front chest were each stuck with a blood-curdling crossbow arrow. It was obviously shot by the chief.

It turns out that just now the Duke saw the assassin's movements, has seen the assassin's purpose, so disregard for his opponent in front of him turned for Yas to fend off the deadly attack behind. A moment simply did not consider a lot, made a knight's instinctive reaction. The three opponents were emboldened by the sight of the lieutenant's suddenly enhanced defensive barrier. Thinking that they had been ambushed, and that they were less than 2 meters away from the cave entrance, they never thought that their opponents would sneak in with crossbows. Even if it was thought of, in such a close distance is no way to dodge. In the blink of an eye, the situation turned into a result of 3 dead and 2 seriously injured. Yas and Duke also almost lost their fighting ability due to injuries.

At this point the Duke understood why the chief asked him "the opposite side of the people will not adhere to the chivalry like you, right?" Because if the opponent is a chivalrous person, first of all, will not take this kind of attack, secondly, it is because the opponent often use traps and other shady means, so also have more fear of such methods than others, so will play so out of order, otherwise they even 2 on 2 is not possible to beat the opponent.

The lieutenant was also finally running out of energy at this point, and the chief lying behind him said quietly, "Okay, now you can put away the magic barrier, don't forget to smile at each other, take it easy and try to smile ladylike. Not that manly smile."

The lieutenant also understood that this was to scare her opponents into thinking that her had something more powerful to offer and that they would not dare to act rashly. The lieutenant tried to control himself as much as possible and slowly retracted the barrier. The other side, because they saw that they had lost three more teammates in a flash, and the other side's magician could actually cast a boundary-level defensive barrier immediately after supporting the defensive field for three hours, they could not figure out the depth of their opponents for a while and did not dare to risk their magic consumption. Everyone fell into the stalemate stage again.

A tall, middle-aged man was saying to another wizard-like person: "Archmage Lenesque don't you think it's dishonorable to take such an approach?"

The wizard replied, "Do you consider yourself still an honorable man from the time we agreed to this mission? Paladin Omineth."

It turns out that these two men are Paladin Omineth and Archmage Lenesque. The ace of this assassination mission.

Paladin Omineth said: "Although I am doing the same thing as you, I have an open heart and a clear conscience. " Archmage Lenesque sneered and did not speak.

Paladin Omineth continued: "Well, I have guarded you to unfold the boundary as agreed, I hope you also keep the agreement and let me first solve the problem with the Duke with the knight's way. " Archmage Lenesque replied: "Okay, but if you do not return within 30 minutes, I will unleash my magic, do not blame me for not warning you. " Paladin Omineth smiled: "30 minutes? Enough," suddenly his face turned stern and continued: "But if you do not wait until that time to unleash magic early, know what will happen?" After saying that, without waiting for the Archmage to answer, he turned around and walked towards the place where the Duke and his men had just fought.
