Captain Fisher withdrew his gaze and ordered calmly: "Now the entire army will withdraw into the city, seal the city gates tightly, and notify everyone in the city to prepare defensive equipment to prevent the Cato people from attacking."

"As commanded."

The original body had very good control over the horses.

Dick also had the muscle memory of his original body. He rode this horse, like a swimming dragon, and quickly swept across the land.

The horses were traveling so fast that the autumn wind slapped their faces, causing a slight stinging sensation.

But Dick no longer cares whether he feels comfortable or not. He knows that the later he takes a step, the more danger Sia will face.

But Kerby's riding skills were better. During the process of leading the way, his face turned pale due to the pain of the wound, but he pursed his lips and shook the reins without any complaints.

Soon, they came to a hillside.

After the two dismounted their horses and tied them up, they quietly came to the end of the hillside and squatted down to look down.

Kebi pointed to the bottom of the hillside, "That's the rocky town. We can only get closer here."

Dick began to observe the shape of the town and noticed that this rocky town was mainly made up of wooden houses. There seemed to be only a few dozen households. There were not many people on the street, but a group of soldiers wearing soft leather armor were stationed there.

These soldiers have long bows on their backs, scimitars on their waists, and spears in their hands.

There is also a stable built in this temporary stronghold. In the stable are more than a dozen unarmored horses with only saddles.

Kebi's voice was a little exciting: "It seems that they only kept these people, and the other knights were indeed attracted by Duke Amara.

"But I'm not sure if Shia is here. Let's kill him now and leave him alive. Let's ask for news about Shia and my father."

"You are already injured, let me do it." Dick said while looking at the temporary camp inside.

He had noticed that the nearest place to him was a large patch of weeds on the outskirts of Gato's temporary stronghold, making it easier for him to hide himself.

"But can you do it alone? You must know that even if they are not riding horses, they are still soldiers wearing leather armor.

"You will never be able to deal with them head-on by yourself, so the only way to do it secretly and assassinate them is that maybe that will work."

Hearing the word "assassination", memory fragments popped out of Dick's mind.

He closed his eyes and kept pressing a finger on his temple, digesting the new scene in his mind:

On a piece of grass, two figures, one large and one small, stood looking at each other.

"Congratulations, Dick, on becoming the new witcher.

"Becoming a demon hunter at the age of 9, you only need to study for five or six years to become an excellent assassination master."

The man was tall and muscular, with an oddly long scar from the top of his forehead along his nose to his cheek.

He had gray hair and was wearing the same armor as Dick. He was smiling down at him.

The child appears to be eight or nine years old.

"Master Master, I am a demon hunter. I am not going to deal with monsters as my responsibility in the future. Why do I need to learn assassination skills?"

"Dick, you are still young and you don't understand many things."

Master gently patted the boy's shoulder and said meaningfully, "Sometimes we do take hunting monsters as our duty, but more often than not, people are far more difficult to deal with than monsters.

“So we have to master how to deal with people so that we can live better, and you have to know that if there are no monsters in this world, we will have no business.

“Without business, there won’t be any krona, which is what we rely on to survive.

"I once killed dozens of water ghosts in one go, and the commission money I received was far less than what I could get from assassinating a noble.

"Anyway, you have to learn the art of assassination, you know?"

At the end, Master added, "If you believe what the master says, can he still lie to you?"

"I know." The little boy replied ignorantly.

“Okay, okay.

"Dick, do you know how many sects there are in our Order of Demon Hunters?"

"I know this. I learned it in culture class before. In addition to our lynx sect, there are also coyote sects and grizzly bear sects."

"Then tell me about the characteristics of each of these three factions."

The little boy knew that the master was examining him, and after thinking carefully, he slowly spoke:

“The Grass Trial of our Lynx Sect is assisted by rare elf warlocks.

“Due to the special materials she collects, each of our characters will become more extreme as time goes by.

“But at the same time, our witcher senses are sharper than those of the other two factions.

"Also, our faction will work hard on swords, and our sword skills are good, but the seal skills we master are not skilled, and they can only be considered to be able to deal with monsters.

"That's right, keep talking." Master nodded approvingly.

The little boy became more confident after hearing his master's encouragement.

"As for the Grizzly Bears, after undergoing the Herb Trial with their unique formula, their bones will become thicker. When they grow into adults, they will be tall and strong enough to carry the burden of heavy armor and cover themselves severely. Be tight and avoid getting hurt.

"Indeed, they are like a group of freaks with muscles compressed together. But these people are easy to deal with." Master curled his lips in disdain.

"What about the last faction, the Coyotes?"

"The Coyote Sect is the core faction of the Demon Hunter Order, and is most valued by the high-level warlocks of the order. Their Grass Trial-leading warlocks pay more attention to balance, so the magic power of the Coyote Sect Demon Hunters is equivalent to their physical skills. The armor is also the middle armor between the light armor of our lynx sect and the heavy armor of the bear school... That’s all I know.”

"You answered very well. The Coyote Clan is indeed highly respected.

"By the way, as you said, every demon hunter in our Lynx Clan..."

At this point, Master pointed to his head, "They will be a little crazy mentally, but they also get extra benefits. Our demon hunters' senses are more acute, and this is the reliance of assassination."

"Dick, now concentrate your mind and open your demon hunter senses."

"Yes, Master."

"Feel it?"

"Feel what? Master, I hear noisy sounds around, including birds singing, grass blowing, and waves by the river."

"No, keep listening, listen to the voices of living people."

"But you are the only living person nearby."

"Then listen to my voice."

"I can hear your heartbeat."

"Close your eyes."

The little boy did as he was told.

"Master, your heartbeat is very strong, but the sound is getting smaller and smaller. Are you... gone? ”

“Don’t ask any more questions. Mark my heartbeat now.”

“Mark? How should I mark?”

“Mark according to your instinct, and then open your eyes.”

Dick did as he was told. The moment he opened his eyes, he felt a red line in the air extending dozens of meters into the distance. He knew that his master was hiding behind a tree dozens of meters away.

“Now, hold your breath and concentrate your energy completely on the red line.” The master’s voice came from a distance.
