Lord Wizard

Chapter 52 Arrow Rain

"You...you knew all along, and deliberately framed us, didn't you!?"

Liya said, her face pale.

If they still can't react at this point, they're truly stupid.

"Oh, I see."

Lin Meng chuckled softly and patted them on the shoulder.

Paul and the others, who were still some distance away, couldn't hear their hushed conversation and didn't understand what they were saying. But seeing the close relationship between Lin Meng and Eric, they seemed to realize something and shouted angrily, "You two bastards dared to team up with that brat Lin Meng to deceive us. You will pay the price!"

"very good!"

Jason's expression was equally cold.

Station.

Today's battle seems like a meticulously planned trap.

Eric and Liya pretended to be resentful because Lin Meng had forced them to do something, and revealed that he was the murderer of Xu Ri Hongguang. They staged a melodramatic scene, and then Xu Ri's investigation and verification made him feel that there was an opportunity, so he took the bait.

Lin Meng had originally intended to lure the enemy deep behind enemy lines, leading them into a trap, but now they were about to be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Eric and Lydia played crucial roles in all of this.

"I had suspected these two beforehand... but after learning that Lin Meng was the murderer of Xu Rihongguang, the higher-ups were so eager for revenge that they didn't have time to investigate thoroughly..."

Jason felt a pang of regret.

They were too confident and careless, believing that with the strength of the two great knights, they were certain of victory. They never expected to suffer a crushing defeat in battle.

Lin Meng observed Jason and Paul's reactions.

He deliberately shifted the blame onto Eric and Liya, because he didn't believe that the Sunrise Group would accept them under these circumstances.

As a result, they were blacklisted by the Sunrise Group and would later be purged and dismissed by Blue Flame, effectively ending their careers.

The two women had clearly realized this as well. Liya, her face filled with remorse, said, "Leylin, we were blinded by greed and wanted to seize your territory. It's all our fault. I beg you, please forgive us this time, considering we're just employees of the same company."

"Too late."

"Lin Meng, do you really intend to exterminate them all?"

Eric said bitterly.

"Tell Karin what you have to say."

Lin Meng ignored their pleas for mercy and waved his hand, saying, "Bring up the crossbowmen."

Eric and Lia exchanged a glance, instantly drawing their cross-shaped longswords from their waists and charging towards Lin Meng, shouting at the same time, "Lord Paul, Lord Jason, we've been fooled by him too..."

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Instead of retreating, Lin Meng advanced, simultaneously reaching out with both hands and striking their swords. The two men felt their swords vibrate, a tremendous force transmitted to their hands, causing not only the swords to deflect but also their bodies to become unsteady.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Meng moved with lightning speed to close the distance, his hands moving like lightning, grabbing the two men by the neck, lifting them high, and then slamming them to the ground.

"Bang!"

Both men were violently shaken, their bones and muscles were broken, and they suffered severe injuries.

"Don't kill me, we're willing to serve you..."

At this moment, Liya was filled with fear.

All scheming and resentment are pale and powerless in the face of death.

"Leylin's strength has improved again."

Jones, watching from the side, was terrified.

In less than a month, Lin Meng not only stabilized his Grand Knight realm, but also took a big step forward. Faced with such a powerful lord, their inappropriate thoughts were completely extinguished.

"If you had done your job properly when you first arrived in Winterfell, I wouldn't have bothered with you. But you dared to provoke me time and time again. Now, begging for mercy... is too late!"

Lin Meng drew his longsword and thrust it down at the heads of the two men!

"don't want……"

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Draw your sword, thrust your sword! Draw your sword, thrust your sword!

The two screams immediately ceased.

At this moment, dozens of crossbows, along with the chariots, had been pushed up.

The crossbows were over two meters wide, and each crossbow cart was equipped with ten bolts, each bolt being nearly a meter long. When fired simultaneously, even a great knight could be killed.

Seeing Lin Meng push out the crossbow, Paul and Jason were filled with fear and trepidation. They were confident they could handle ordinary bows and arrows, but how could human strength withstand such a powerful weapon used on the battlefield and even in sieges?

"Leylin, as a fellow Grand Knight, if you still have even a shred of knightly honor, then come and fight me one-on-one."

Paul roared.

"The glory of a knight? So you, a veteran knight who has walked the path of chivalry for who knows how many years, challenge a newbie like me who is not even twenty years old?"

Lin Meng raised his hand after speaking.

The soldiers quickly pulled out the crossbow carts.

Seeing this, Paul dared not linger any longer. Ignoring the flames that had not yet been completely extinguished, he raised his greatsword and roared as he charged toward Lin Meng.

Jason followed Paul without saying a word.

Now it's a matter of life and death. Any hesitation could cost them their lives. Although they won't actually die, no one wants to lose the cultivation they've worked so hard to build up over the years and suffer several months of mental weakness.

"Release the arrows!"

"open eyes!"

Hundreds of powerful crossbows ripped through the air, whistling sharply as they shot towards Paul and Jason simultaneously, forming a dense cloud of arrows.

The Great Knight's life force field has a good defensive effect against arrow loss, but against these powerful crossbow bolts that can even pierce through stones, the so-called life force field is no different from paper.

"charge!"

Paul roared, his energy surging to its peak.

Jason's face was grim. He hid tightly behind Paul, shrinking himself to the smallest possible size to avoid exposing any part of his body to the arrows.

"kill!"

With the infusion of powerful energy, Paul's life force field seemed to materialize, and he wildly swung his giant sword, creating a dense barrage of sword shadows.

But he was not facing one or two arrows, but countless crossbow bolts.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

"what!"

Jason let out a muffled groan as an arrow pinned his foot, which was half exposed, to the ground as Paul swung his greatsword, shattering both toes with the force of the impact.

His arms, waist, and other parts of his body were grazed by arrows in several places, taking away large amounts of flesh and blood.

Blood instantly stained his body red.

Arrow rain!

This is a real rain of arrows!

In just a few seconds, the area within a radius of tens of meters around them was filled with arrows, leaving behind half of the constantly trembling arrow tails.

Despite the excruciating pain, Jason pulled the arrow out of his foot and quickly pushed Paul, using him as a shield to propel him forward at full speed.

Paul's powerful body was riddled with arrows. Even though he was wearing armor, he didn't even have time to scream before he died under the barrage of arrows. More than thirty arrows, each nearly a meter long, had riddled him with holes, and the Great Knight's life force field was completely useless at this moment.
