I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.
Chapter 94: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain x4
Reed ran out while the searchlight was in another position, and then observed the surrounding lights.
Even if these lights aren't completely illuminated, their emitted light still brightens the surrounding area.
So Red was exposed, and the surrounding light made him visible.
Reed had intended to expose himself, and the reason he hid from the lights earlier was so that the pursuers wouldn't notice Noelle.
If Noelle is found in that location, she will definitely be captured.
So Reed was drawing fire, running to the area with the densest lights, so he could reveal himself later!
Sure enough, the elite soldiers on the wall, holding torches, saw Reid below.
Spotlights shone on Reed, like all the bright lights on a stage shining on the protagonist.
“There’s an intruder!!”
As the alarm bell on the wall rang, a loud "ding-dong! ding-dong!" sound rang out.
At the same time, dozens of crossbows and staffs were aimed at Reid, and elite soldiers below the city walls were also closing in.
They began advancing towards Reed's location. Reed watched as the soldiers slowly gathered around him and began...
Reed swiftly dodged the first wave of ranged attacks; some people deliberately delayed by a second, anticipating Reed's movements.
But Reed blocked it with his broadsword, then swung it again, killing one of the soldiers beside him.
The enemy was clearly somewhat intimidated; after all, elite soldiers weren't just for show, and the soldiers quickly grasped Reed's strength.
"This person seems too strong! I don't think we can necessarily beat him!"
"Heh! If this guy can't hold him off, he'll still die!"
As everyone gripped their weapons, bracing themselves for Reid's attack...
Reed suddenly turned and ran away, leaving a group of soldiers completely bewildered.
The soldiers on the city wall tried to attack the fleeing Reed, but Reed was too fast and they couldn't hit him at all.
Even when using homing magic projectiles, there is a time limit; they will disappear after a certain period of time.
"How did it get away?! Quick, chase after it!"
"This is probably going to be a big problem! Get him!"
The crowd shouted and chased after Reed, but they hadn't even been chasing for a minute...
On the other side of the city wall, bells rang.
"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"
"What? There are enemies over there too?! And more than one?"
"Damn it! Almost everyone's here! I wonder how the guys on the city wall are doing!"
"Some of you will continue to follow me! A small group will go to provide support!"
"Yes!"
Subsequently, a small portion of the main force was sent to provide support to the south side of the city wall where the bell was rung...
The troops hadn't even taken a few steps...
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!" The bell on the west city wall rang out...
"What? There are still more?! What's going on to the west..."
"Damn it, there are too many of them on the other side! We need to retreat! Everyone, head to the west city wall!"
Just as the group was about to reach the western city wall...
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!" The huge bell on the east city wall rang out.
Even if everyone is an elite soldier and their physical fitness meets the standards, they will still sweat from running around like this!
A soldier, panting heavily, exclaimed, "Wh...what? Huh? What? The east wall is fucking coming again!!!"
A soldier, using his weapon for support, said, "I'm fucking exhausted... I've rung the bell so many times, and I still haven't seen the enemy..."
"Are they fucking messing with us?! Where the hell are they?! What are those idiots on the city wall doing?!"
In reality... Reed would move to a different location after killing someone, then kill another, and so on, in a continuous cycle.
When Red first appeared, most of the soldiers on the wall had abandoned their posts and were wandering around the wall looking for him.
Only a small number of soldiers remained to control the searchlights, so the number of searchlights gradually decreased from a dense cluster...
This gave Reed the opportunity to commit the crime, among those lone soldiers, those soldiers standing still and waiting for orders.
Reed would then rush over and finish her off when the searchlight was far away!
When the searchlight returned to its original spot, they were shocked to find that the previously intact soldier had suddenly split in two!
The scene was like a murder in Detective Conan. One second the person in front of you was fine, then the room lights suddenly went out, and when you looked again, you found that the person in front of you was dead!
So, in the current situation, the soldiers chasing Reed below the city walls are exhausted.
The soldiers on the city wall transformed into Sherlock Holmes and Conan, wondering where Red was and why someone who was perfectly fine just moments before had suddenly become a corpse.
After scattering almost all the soldiers, Reid returned to Noelle's side.
Noelle jumped up and down, praising, "Amazing! It's a bit gory though... but never mind that, let's go in quickly!"
Reed grunted in agreement and followed Noelle to the city gate.
There were still two guards holding firm at the city gate. Reed rushed over and, taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, killed them with two stabs.
Noelle instinctively closed her eyes, then walked forward with her eyes still closed.
Because everyone's attention was focused on the outside of the door and wall, no one noticed Noelle and Reid sneaking in.
Furthermore, no houses were so close to the city wall that one could hear the city bells.
So the residents inside had no idea unless someone reminded them.
It's currently a little past 2 a.m., so there are practically no people out shopping at night.
The soldiers patrolling inside the city walls also ran out because of the commotion outside.
So the area inside the city walls was currently deserted. The two ran into the area surrounding the city walls, and then ran to the residential area where the houses were located.
The two ran to the location of the residential buildings, and as soon as they entered, they came to a garbage dump filled with trash.
That's because there are soldiers patrolling outside the residential houses, and these soldiers are carrying lanterns that emit light.
The well-organized patrols led the two to hide in the junkyard.
Reed was somewhat confused: "Why are there patrols at night?"
Noelle explained, "That's because it's to protect the safety of the residents of the noble district. To put it simply, it's to prevent thieves and robbers... and unlicensed people like us who sneak in..."
Reed asked, "But why aren't there any in the civilian district?"
Noelle: "Hmm... to be honest, I really want to say this, but it doesn't sound very nice..."
Reed didn't care and said, "Go ahead and say it."
Noel: "Actually, the country abandoned the ghettos from the very beginning; in the country's view, the ghettos didn't need to be managed."
"That's why so many illegal and strange guilds, and such a high crime rate, have emerged in the civilian areas..."
"Hey! Enough of that, this place stinks! Let's think of what to do next! I really can't stand it here anymore!"
Reed glanced at the patrolling soldiers ahead, then turned to Noelle and said, "It seems their shift changes are almost seamless."
Noelle instantly broke down (?Д?) "So, we! Are we going to spend the whole night hiding in this filthy, disgusting, smelly, and acidic place?!"
Reed was right.
Noelle (┯_┯) "No! The young lady of the Nordtes family shouldn't have to suffer like this! No! No! No!"
Reed -_-|| "You're really noisy..."
