Chapter 157 Alarm
Lysabel is observing the cordon ahead.

'They seem alert.'

Lisabel and her team had already passed two security blockades.

The previous two raids went smoothly. The soldiers on the blockade line had never expected that Lisabell and the others would appear in front of them. They were completely defeated before they could even sound the alarm.

But Lisabel did not expect that even in this direction where they were unlikely to appear, the Principality's troops still carefully set up three cordon lines.

Although the total number of troops was not large, the three warning blockade lines resulted in too few troops on each blockade line. However, by exchanging space for time, the soldiers on the third warning blockade line seemed to feel something was wrong.

The front cordon line did not report the situation on time.

Although this does not mean that they have encountered the enemy, after all, the infrastructure in Earl Lake's territory has become dilapidated to a certain extent, the road conditions are poor, and it is not uncommon for messengers to take detours due to road conditions, resulting in delays.

But this was enough for them to send out messengers to inquire about the situation and raise their vigilance.

"They are ready to sound the alarm at any time."

The resistance fighter next to Lisabel also frowned. He saw that a soldier on the blockade line had picked up a signal gun. As long as he was attacked, he would fire a signal flare to indicate an attack.

And those pursuers who are still circling in the mountains, looking for the traces of Lisabel and others will soon realize that they have been tricked and that their target has left the mountains.

Although they were led by Lisabel to a place far away from all exits from the mountain, even if they found the problem immediately, it would take them ten days to leave the mountain. But Lisabel would not think that the time was too much. If they did not find their movements, then they could have several more days to deal with Archbishop Laming.

"The first priority is to prevent them from raising the alarm."

Lisabel patted the resistance fighter beside her, he nodded silently, walked to the back, and quietly gave orders to each soldier.

Nature will indeed protect the believers of the God of Nature. Relying on the improper preparations on the ground and the grove on the roadside, Lisabel and her companions have already reached a distance of less than 400 meters from the warning blockade line.

At this distance, a skilled ranger can easily pierce the target's head with the bow and arrow in his hand without using any supernatural powers.

"Why hasn't the messenger come back yet? Has something really happened?"

On the third cordon, tension was spreading. Parian could only drink as he watched his soldiers being tricked.

There were only a few soldiers on the blockade line he was in charge of, and if they were really attacked, there would be no chance of winning.

"I hope we took a detour. It rained a little yesterday, and you know the road conditions here."

He was comforting his soldiers, telling them that the more likely it was that the enemy would appear, the more they should not panic.

"But just in case, you should be prepared to sound the alarm at any time, Wood, is that ok?"

Wood was the soldier who was ready to fire the signal flare at any time. After checking that there was nothing wrong with the signal gun, he had already loaded the red signal flare, which represented the enemy, into the signal gun. Then he looked around vigilantly, and as soon as there was any situation, he would fire the signal flare into the sky.

puff.

Parian saw an arrow pierce Wood's forehead.

There was also a small wind blast spell on the arrow, which destroyed Wood's brain in an instant. It was obvious that the attacker did not want to give him any chance to fire a flare.

The soldier nearby reacted quickly, reaching for the signal gun in Wood's arms. But the arrow that followed pierced his neck more firmly, pinning him to the earth wall nearby. The soldier struggled twice, but the arrow cut off his vocal cords, trachea, and arteries. He could only make a few hoarse sounds. Parian saw blood spurting out of his neck, and then the soldier was motionless.

"Enemy attack!"

The soldiers' shouts exploded in their ears, but it was of no use. The arrows shot from nowhere could easily pierce into the soldiers' bodies from directions that their shields could not block.

"Dead."

Parian immediately realized that they had no chance of winning, and judging from the other party's actions, they did not seem to want the news of their presence here to leak out.

This means they will kill everyone and won't let anyone leave alive.

"But at least the alarm has to be sounded."

Parian took a step forward and rushed towards Wood who was slowly falling down in front of him.

Although it seemed like a lot had happened, only a second had passed since Wood was shot. He hadn't even fallen to the ground yet.

Parian heard several sounds of breaking through the air. It seemed that the attackers had not forgotten him. It was just that when the targets were assigned, he was not among the first targets because he was a little far away from the strong signal.

Every sound of breaking air in his ears represented an arrow heading towards him.

Of course, Parian could stand still, lower his center of gravity, and then use the shield in his hand to cover his entire body as much as possible to block the arrows that were aimed at him, but in this way, the attackers' goal would be achieved. They successfully prevented the cordon from sounding the alarm in the first place.

Out of the corner of his eye, Parian had already seen a figure, only about three hundred meters away from them. For those rangers, this distance was reachable in a flash. As long as they did not sound the alarm at the first time, these rangers would prevent them from sounding the alarm again.

The strongest person on this blockade line is Parian, but he is just a third-level fighter, while it seems that none of those rangers are lower than level three.

Parian did not stop, but simply protected his head with the shield and continued to run towards Wood who was falling to the ground in front of him.

puff.

Parian stumbled and felt a sharp pain in his right knee. The first arrow had already arrived and had sunk deep into his knee, almost crippling his ability to move.

The second arrow landed on his waist, probably piercing his kidney. Parian was thankful that it was an ordinary arrow, without any enchantment. If he had received timely treatment, his kidney could have been saved. He would not have to go to the toilet seven or eight times a night for the rest of his life.

"when!"

The third arrow arrived and hit Parian's shield hard. The impact of the arrow almost knocked Parian to the ground. If it weren't for the shield, Parian's head would have exploded.

But that's the end.

Obviously, the opponent did not expect that Parian could withstand so many attacks.

He was just a level three warrior. Normally, the first arrow would have made him roll on the ground with his hands on his knees and wailing.

The enemy had been as cautious as possible, and in this round of attack, they only fired three arrows at Parian, but they only used these three arrows, and more firepower was allocated to other places, such as the horses and the mechanisms used to control the defense facilities. These firepowers did play the desired effect, and the rangers killed their way to the front line without any hindrance, and those soldiers who wanted to mount their horses and report to the rear could only see their horses being shot in front of them.

But all this firepower was meaningless. Parian touched the signal gun, and then a red smoke bomb flew into the sky.
