Chapter 5044: 5.0796 Appearance
The most critical thing was that he still hadn't figured out who the enemy was or where they were hiding.
So many soldiers in the vanguard had died; how was he supposed to explain this to the Grand Imperial Master later?
Just thinking about the Grand Imperial Master's stern, rigid face, General Hado couldn't help but shiver, trembling slightly all over.
At this moment, rows of Duo Luo Kingdom soldiers, from half-kneeling to standing upright, surrounded the two in three layers deep, holding up hundreds of defensive shields in front of them, roaring in unison.
"Be vigilant!" General Hado's rage was almost turning into tangible blades.
"Which friend is causing trouble in our little town? Why don't you show yourself and have a word!!"
No sooner had Hado finished speaking than a divine power orb came flying through the air, as if being tossed playfully, and smashed onto their defensive shields with a resounding boom.
Countless Duo Luo Kingdom soldiers used their bodies to withstand the explosion of this divine power orb.
The soldiers in the front row, who bore the brunt of the impact, immediately coughed up blood from the force of the divine power orb's explosion, barely managing to support their shield-bearing bodies.
Hado looked grimly at the huddled townspeople of Royal Estate Town. "Fire arrows!"
He wanted to see if this person would still hide among a pile of useless ordinary people and fish in troubled waters.
He was going to force them out.
Behind the defensive shields, hundreds of archers immediately emerged, each drawing their bows and aiming at the townspeople.
The old town head trembled as he pushed his children and grandchildren beside him, repeatedly exclaiming in alarm, "Go, go! Hurry!"
The townspeople also reacted at this point. Seeing that the enemy intended to shoot them indiscriminately, they quickly scattered and fled, stumbling and trembling as they ran for their lives.
"Thud, thud!"
"Thud!"
A dozen townspeople fled a few meters, then suddenly realized that four invisible barriers had been erected around the meeting grounds.
Ordinary people simply couldn't see them with their naked eyes.
At this moment, they were like a group of trapped beasts, confined within these four towering transparent barriers.
"Ah!!" The round-faced girl shrieked, kicking the barrier in front of her.
She kicked until her feet hurt, but still couldn't push open the invisible obstacle.
At this point, many people rushed to the girl's side, kicking, hitting, biting, and headbutting. However, no matter how hard they tried, they remained firmly trapped in this predicament, unable to fight against their cruel fate.
Is this the fate of ordinary common folk?
"W-Wait, don't move yet, l-look, look." The round-faced girl suddenly tugged on the arm of a woman beside her.
The woman was clutching a child a few years old, her hair disheveled, already looking frantic.
At that moment, pulled by the round-faced girl, her mind cleared slightly. Following the direction the girl pointed, she turned her head back.
They saw that the place where four to five hundred townspeople had originally gathered now, after they had scattered like birds and beasts, only had seven people remaining.
Seven crude-looking, very ordinary men and women.
From their appearance, these seven people seemed to be around thirty years old. The shortest woman, standing at the very front, had a round, plump face covered in freckles.
"Who are you?!" Hado coldly looked at the unremarkable seven, frowning slightly.
Were they the ones who secretly released the fire mosquitoes and randomly smashed people with divine power orbs earlier?
They truly looked like a group of villagers and village women, with nothing special about them. No wonder no one recognized them when they were mixed in with the crowd before.
