Demon Lord

Chapter 224 Bureau

Ten knights came in a mighty manner, ready to execute some people's orders with the momentum of flattening everything, but they were crushed by a whole cavalry regiment that suddenly appeared in an instant. Three incidents occurred in just two days.

For Assassin Sean, the scene before him made him feel a chill for no reason.

This guy wearing leather armor and hiding in the woods outside the manor is the assassin sent by Earl Durant. In terms of strength, Sean, who has advanced to level 6, is already considered to be absolutely powerful, so he came here At that time, he was confident that no one would find out, and he was confident that he would complete all the orders given by the lord.

For a long time, Sean has always been cultivated by Earl Durant as a "killer". Although nobles usually don't like to use "assassination" to remove political opponents, if they really touch the bottom line or have sufficient reasons, this method of mass destruction is definitely the most direct and effective method.

So Sean, who is very talented, became Durant's favorite hole card-Durant's stability over the years is half of Sean's credit.

But after witnessing those knights being besieged and killed with his own eyes, Sean instinctively felt uneasy.

"Traitors must be dealt with."

"Treason..."

Sean, who was hiding in the bushes, looked at the team that was gathering again in the distance, and whispered this word in his mouth—he knew better than anyone that the purpose of his coming here was to help Earl Durant erase " treason" evidence

"It seems...it's too late now."

Thinking back to Viscount Telanca, who was easily assassinated by himself not long ago, Sean always felt that something was wrong... Telanka was too easy to kill, and the guards were extremely lax, and he didn't even have the awareness of changing guards. Ka is like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and there is no technical content in the assassination.

Sean clearly remembered that when he approached the opponent, the guy opened his eyes wide and seemed to want to say something, but Sean was never interested in listening to the nonsense of the target, so when his dagger slashed the opponent's throat, the viscount only had time to say something. A name is completely swallowed.

"What was he talking about? Dee, or 'Roddy,'?"

Xiao En didn't pay too much attention, and solved the viscount who might leak the secret. He came to this manor according to the address given by the earl, but before he started, the scene in front of him made him understand... After all, he was one step too late

These cunning guys actually already knew about the existence of traitors in the kingdom, so they specially used this manor as a "bait", and only waited for those nobles who were eager to destroy the evidence to send people over, and then caught the turtles in their urns and wiped them out one by one …

"Standby and wait" sounds unrealistic at first, but combined with the atmosphere of public opinion created by Angmar, and this team whose background is unknown but deeply hidden, the seemingly naive plan has actually become feasible because of it. sex

Teams rushed over like moths to the flames to die. If this continues, those traitors hiding behind the scenes will definitely not be able to hold back, and are ready to lead their teams to rush over in person. When the time comes...

When Sean thought of this, he felt a little cold sweat on his forehead—he had to go back, and immediately reported the information to the lord before the other party found him.

With such thoughts in mind, Sean held his breath slightly, turned around and prepared to leave.

Akasha in the distance was raising her hand to release divine healing spells. The arrested knights had already been escorted to the rear of the manor. The sound of horseshoes of the cavalry gradually dispersed. After a while, there were only a few left in front of the manor. A figure in the process of erasing the bloodstains on the ground.

"The strength is not too strong, it should be able to handle it... But these guys seem to be very disciplined."

Sean continued to step back, simply assessing the combat power of those scouts in his heart, but just when he thought he was absolutely safe, the necklace on his chest suddenly emitted a faint wave of magic power——

"duh"

Turning around and dodging almost instinctively, Sean narrowly dodged an arrow flying past his cheek.

This necklace is ancestral and has an early warning effect on danger. It is precisely because of its help that Sean has left behind the title of "Illuminati" in his bloody career all these years... and allowed him to escape countless assassinations that were instinctively lethal.

However, this necklace cannot remind you every time, so after dodging the first arrow, Sean could only use his ability to speed up and dodge abruptly—but because he moved a little slower, his shoulders were followed by arrows. The second arrow wiped out a wound, if the "sprint" was not activated in time, and there was a tree in front of him for dodging, I am afraid that he would definitely be shot by the third arrow

The effect of "sprint" is to increase the speed by 70, which lasts for 10 seconds. The effect of the skill is better than that of the ranger's "sprint", but even so, Xiao En, who was leaning against the tree, glanced at his left shoulder with cold sweat...

How is it possible... to have such a fast rate of fire?

He was horrified in his heart, but then his figure slowly disappeared into the forest. "Stealth" started, and after calming down for a while, Sean's confidence gradually recovered. Then he confirmed the direction of the arrow, pulled out two daggers, and slowly moved over - speaking of "stealth" skills, he was confident. In such an environment no one can crack.

Archer? As long as he gets close to him, Sean is equally confident that he can use his explosive power to kill the opponent in a short time

Sean has absolute confidence in his ability to assassinate... At least in the past eight years, he has never missed a shot, even if it is a head-on encounter, he is also undefeated

With such thoughts in mind, Xiao En clenched his dagger tightly and walked out of the shadows for dozens of steps, but stopped in doubt—because he found that he couldn't find his target at all.

This brief hesitation caused him to pause slightly, and at this moment of distraction, a phantom suddenly swayed among the trees beside Xiao En

Instinctively swinging the dagger, Sean made an attack without even turning his head, but then he felt that his waist was being heavily weighted, his whole body lost its center of gravity, and he stepped out to the side involuntarily...

When he looked back, he could only see a face with the same texture as the bark staring at him. The effect of the "Concealment Technique" was disappearing, but the indifference in that gaze made Xiao En feel cold, and the opponent held His bow and arrow were raised in just half a second

While stabilizing his figure, he raised his dagger and prepared to block it——for no reason, there was a trace of luck in his heart...

The opponent is still too tender, using a short bow at such a distance, I have 90% certainty to capture the attack trajectory, and counterattack within a second

With such confidence, he adjusted his center of gravity, but before he could use any skills, the opponent's arrow had already been shot.

There was a sinister smile on the corner of Xiao En's mouth, but in the next moment, he watched the arrow piercing his thigh...

The raised dagger was still two centimeters away from the arrow.

Afterwards, he also blocked the second and third arrows, but he was a step slower anyway.

"This can't be—"

"thump"
