Chapter 155: Fleeing in a hurry
"We must not reveal our identities!"
"It would have been even worse if the officials knew that we were harpists, and with so many armed citizens outside, they might not believe us even if we clarified our identity as harpists in public."
"What is the result of the prophecy spell?"
"Resisted, it must be the evil mage of the Santarin Society who used the magic of defense detection to cover up the facts!"
"It's more likely that Santarin will attack, and if you can resist the harpist's master prophecy spells, at least you have to reach the legendary realm, and there are no legendary mages in the Bredero troupe."
"Damn the Santarin Society, how did they get the hang of it, and they could plan such a sinister scheme!"
"Maybe the Amber officials already know our identity, and they deliberately staged such a scene to persecute and expel us! They have long been very unfriendly to harpists hiding within the borders of the country. ”
……
The besieged harpists were discussing what to do, when suddenly there was a loud noise outside, and the whole building shook slightly, and dust fell from the roof.
Gairos hurriedly went to the window to check, and gasped when he saw it.
The regular army of Amm brought in a trebuchet and was loading stone shells, and the loud noise just now should have been a test firing of a trebuchet.
From a distance, the soldier operating the trebuchet was holding an iron ball painted red and covered with spikes, and Gairos recognized it at a glance as a powerful alchemy bomb!
"Mistra is on top!"
A harpist exclaimed, "They're trying to blow us up to the sky, it's obviously a downtown area, are you really afraid of accidentally hurting us by throwing bombs with trebuchets?" Can the people allow them to do this? ”
"Blow them up!"
"Well voted! up hard, how they blow up the theater, how they blow up this group of bandits! ”
"Hahaha, you deserve it!"
……
The cheers of the more than 10,000 armed citizens who surrounded the mansion answered the harpist's question.
The sealing technique performed by the harpist at the gate is extremely effective, and the mansion of Gairos has been secretly decorated into the temple of Mystra, and the effect of casting defensive spells on the earthly kingdom of the goddess of magic can be low?
Under the dual effect of the spell and the blessing of divine power, the gate of the mansion was solid, and the rams of the Amber soldiers hit the city for almost half an hour, but they still did not move.
The city hall urgently recruited masked mages to arrive, and when the masked mages arrived, they used dispel magic only to find that the sealing technique did not work, and a large gate actually blocked the path of Am's regular army, much to the shame of the army commander.
When the gate could not be opened, the commander ordered the soldiers to tear down the wall, but the temple of Mystra gave the Gairos Mansion the blessing of the "Divine Domain", and the surrounding walls were as strong as pure gold, and the soldiers of Amm broke the hammer and did not break half of the wall.
Tens of thousands of onlookers began to sneer at the long-lost regular army, and the angry commander brought in trebuchets and alchemy bombs from the engineer battalion, vowing to destroy the seemingly wealthy mansion but defensive fortress.
"If you are continuously bombarded by alchemy bombs, even if you have the blessing of divine power, you won't be able to last long!"
The harpist who looked out from the front shouted anxiously, "We can't waste any more time, for if we delay we will all die here." ”
"Retreat!"
Gailos immediately decided: "Withdraw from Ascaltra City for the time being, we can't reveal the identity of the harpist, and let the official Amber know that there is a secret camp of harpists in the city!" ”
He ordered the seven harp manipulators: "Mages immediately summon the space-time vassurance, we have a teleportation array at the harpist's headquarters in Waterdeep, and open the space-based vasculars that lead directly to Waterdeep!" ”
The mages immediately stood up in the pentagram position, chanted incantations, and channeled the magical power of space, and in their center, a spiral-shaped vortex of light slowly swirled, and the space-time vascular slowly took shape.
The other harpists began to pack up their papers, taking everything they could and destroying what they couldn't! By the way, hurry up and tear down the temple on the first floor, and don't let the official Amm show any signs that the Harpist Alliance has been stationed! ”
As the order to retreat was given to Gairos, the harpist camp was busy, with the harpist scouts running around, packing the documents they had collected at Amm into boxes and stuffing them into dimensional bags.
The harpist masters rushed to the first floor, where the decoration was so obvious that it was very difficult to dismantle, and in order to save time they had to smash the fireball technique, and Ma Youfu shot an arrow to destroy all the decorations that might reveal the identity of the harpist.
But they were troubled by the statue of Goddess Mystra in the center of the hall on the first floor, which was more than three meters tall and carved out of fine granite, and had established a beacon of faith.
It is precisely because of this statue that the entire building has the blessing of the temple-like divine domain.
What to do with this idol?
Destroying the idol with magic, not to mention the problem of disrespect to the goddess, even if you are ruthless to destroy it, it is impossible, the idol of the goddess of magic, Mystra, is immune to magic, and legendary spells can't knock off the slightest stone slag.
It would be very inappropriate to leave the idol here, and the official Amber could guess that the Harpists League had been stationed here, otherwise why quietly build a temple of Mistra?
After receiving the report, Gailos reacted quickly and ordered: Since it can't be destroyed, then dismantle it and take it away.
The harpists raced against time to smash the statue's pedestal, and several master harpists blessed themselves with divine powers, working together to carry the multi-ton stone sculpture, shouting "hey, hey, hey" and carrying it up to the second floor.
The space-time passage has been opened, and because the idol has been removed, the effect of the Divine Domain has disappeared, and the alchemy bombs thrown by the Amber soldiers have exploded the door of the mansion, and groups of Amm soldiers have charged into the mansion.
At the moment when they rushed to the second floor, the last harp mage also dodged into the space-time passage, which lost its magical power and disappeared into the void.
……
The explosion of the Teatro Braidro was the work of a group of mysterious bandits hiding in the mansion of the great merchant Galos, who resisted the fierce attack of the army for three hours after being surrounded by Am's army and armed citizens, using an unknown evil spell with great power.
When the Amber soldiers finally broke through the extremely defensive gate and rushed into the mansion, the mysterious bandits had escaped through the space-time gate without a trace.
The bombing task force conducted a detailed inspection of the bandits' hideouts, but because the scene was so badly damaged, no clues were found, and even the identity of the mysterious bandits became a mystery.
In order to give an explanation to the citizens and avoid being scolded for incompetence again, the Amber official could only plant a dirty "Santarinhui evil party" for this group of mysterious bandits, claiming that the bandits who planned the bombing case and the bandits who skinned the case in the bridge area were the same party, and they were all committed by the Santarinhui evil party that intended to subvert Ammu and create a terrorist attack in Ammu.
At this point, the Bredero Theater bombing, Am's No. 1 case of the year, has finally been revealed.
Under the wise leadership of the six-member council, the town hall was properly commanded, the task force worked day and night to track down the clues, and the brave and courageous soldiers of Am, who were responsible for arresting the gangsters, finally pulled the bandits who planned and carried out the bombing out of their hiding places, drove them out of Am, handed over a satisfactory answer to the citizens of Ascatla, and did justice for the Bredero troupe.
It's really gratifying, it's gratifying......
