Chapter 466 Ambush

Five minutes ago, after Shavlock gave the order to attack, the blasphemous assassins poured out towards the military camp not far away.

The fire around the camp guided the assassins' direction. It took less than three minutes for the 17 blasphemous assassins to reach the periphery of the camp before the Death Knight without any effort. According to the plan, they would first lurk inside the military camp and create enough chaos in the camp to shake the morale of the army as quickly as possible.

For example, setting fire everywhere, setting the entire camp on fire, and making this place fall into complete chaos in the environment. Another example is to divide people and secretly murder all the soldiers in the entire tent, and then deliberately leave one alive, and then apply a slow-acting chronic poison on the blade that is enough to kill.

Use this dagger to blind one of his eyes, let him see the miserable situation in the tent with the remaining eye, and then deliberately let him run away, so that the soldiers will spread panic throughout the camp in the flames, and they will turn into the god of death hunting in the shadow of the flames, easily turning this place into a paradise for murder.

However, just as they were about to stir up chaos according to the plan, the first few blasphemous assassins who approached the camp suddenly appeared passively.

The blasphemous assassins reacted quickly. They quickly retreated before their figures were about to be fully revealed, and merged their entire bodies into the dark environment around them, so that they were not "discovered by the soldiers in the barracks."

However, such an accident did make all the assassins passively wait in place for dozens of seconds. They had to rely on this time to determine whether their whereabouts were exposed. In this way, after dozens of seconds, they did not find any unusual movements from the barracks.

After that, the blasphemous assassins quickly regrouped and headed towards the military camp again. This time, they did not rely on supernatural powers such as invisibility, but used the most basic stealth skills of an assassin.

By making the most of the surrounding shadow environment and the visual blind spots of potential personnel, the assassins successfully arrived at the outermost edge of the camp in a few seconds, and were even only separated from the inner camp by a fence.

Hiding under the shadow of the fence, listening to the noise coming from the military camp from time to time, and the scratching of the patrol soldiers' armor, the assassins once again confirmed that their whereabouts were safe, and then quickly separated four assassins with the best stealth skills and sneaked into the camp.

They had to find the thing that could make them visible first, so that they could smoothly implement the subsequent plan.

But perhaps it was the blessing of the God of Murder, the four assassins who lurked in had not taken two more steps forward, and they found the thing that made their stealth ability invalid in an open space not far away.

It was a development array, and it was not an ordinary development array. Every blasphemous assassin had a certain understanding of this unique array that could dispel supernatural invisibility, but the array that appeared before their eyes was not an ordinary one.

After a period of observation and verification, the blasphemous assassins determined that this was a super-large development array composed of multiple small arrays.

And now the pillar in front of them with a blank crystal inlaid on the top was part of this super-large array, one of the array pillars.

The blasphemous assassins knew that as long as this thing was removed, the development array in this area would directly lose its function, and the mage who set up this array would not notice that the array had failed, because it was not the mage himself who provided energy to the array, so the mage would not have any connection with this thing.

After confirming this, the blasphemous assassins immediately took action. The four assassins hid in the shadows again. After listening to the patrol soldiers' voices going away, they immediately followed the shadows and quickly touched the inconspicuous pillar.

Then they stepped directly into the trap, and the strong negative energy instantly spread from the triggering point! The dark green light of death instantly filled the assassins' eyes, quickly taking the lives of the four assassins, leaving them with only a hasty scream before they died, so as to remind the blasphemous assassins who were still hiding outside and had not yet entered the trap to hurry and escape.

Yes, that's right, the Appearance Array was just a bait, and the sounds heard by the Blasphemy Assassins and the figures seen were all the phantoms prepared by Mizora in advance, the scenes brought about by the seventh-ring spell [Mirage]. All of this was to weaken them to the greatest extent, lowering their vigilance, making them think they had found our countermeasures, and thus ignoring the real trap, which was the eighth-ring [Death Array] that Mizora cast through the ring-up spell.

At this moment, there were only 13 Blasphemy Assassins and three Death Knights left. Because of the plan they had made earlier, the Death Knights deliberately kept a distance from the assassins in order to prevent the assassins from being discovered in advance because of their overly conspicuous appearance.

Now they were about 150 meters apart from each other, which was actually very awkward. Because of the distance, the Death Knights could not immediately support the assassins and cover their retreat. As front-line professions, at the current distance, the best thing for them to do was to seize the time to turn around and run away.

Although running away is not unacceptable to the Death Knights, running away without even seeing the enemy is such a shameful and humiliating act. Even if they have fallen, the stubborn character they developed as Holy Knights will never let them choose to run away so easily.

‘At least we have to find out what happened. ’

The three Death Knights thought so, so they ignored the assassins who were running towards them, and stood there silently, drawing their weapons and preparing for the enemy's next attack.

However, at this moment, the Death Knights suddenly saw that the assassins who had not even entered the invisible state again in order to retreat as quickly as possible, just stopped running forward like a ghost, and the boots on their feet scraped two dust on the rock surface. The whole body was clearly resisting, resisting the direction towards them...

‘Not good! ! ! ’

The three death knights immediately turned around and saw a paladin with a stern face, fully armored, holding a half-length shield and a war hammer suddenly appear behind them.
