Lord Highlander

  Chapter 331 330. Fu Zhu

   snowy night

Dozens of longbowmen stood on the roof of the garden square in Hailansa City, which was covered with a thick layer of snow. Several feathered arrows passed through the snow-covered streets silently, and were nailed to the wall one after another. The assassin jumped flexibly while running, avoiding several arrows.

  Occasionally, he would disappear in the shadow of the corner for a while, and when his figure reappeared, he would run a long distance away.

There was a sound of rumbling horseshoes on the street. Karl led a group of knights to emerge from various street corners. These knights were wearing metal armor and holding knight swords. They all surrounded the assassin in unison. As the knight approached, the assassin adjusted his direction and rushed straight to the garden square.

Among the falling arrows, the assassin crossed a low bush wall and faced the two guard battalion swordsmen pretending to be lovers. The blood-stained arms of the assassin suddenly pointed like knives and stabbed one of the swordsmen. scholar.

  The swordsman held a thin sword in his hand and drew a 'Z' in front of his body, trying to stop the assassin.

   But the assassin was as flexible as a loach, and took the opportunity to get close to the swordsman. The armguard on his wrist sealed the rapier and made a soft 'ding' sound.

  The two guard battalion swordsmen flanked left and right, and the rapier pointed at the hands and feet of the assassin. They didn't even intend to kill the assassin, they just wanted to stop him.

But at the same time when the two rapiers were about to stab the assassin, a black phantom suddenly exploded behind the assassin, and a few tentacles stretched out from the black phantom, instantly holding the two guard battalion swordsmen firmly together. Being entangled, the two guard battalion swordsmen were fixed in place as if they had been immobilized.

The two looked horrified, their bodies were somewhat distorted by the black tentacles, and some joints of their bodies were even deformed in reverse. Although they were still struggling in the restraint, the group of phantom tentacles entangled them tightly, preventing them from letting go. They have any abnormalities.

Suldak, who was chasing behind the assassin, finally saw it clearly this time. These tentacles were transformed from the phantom behind the assassin, and that phantom should be his 'power'. In such a short time, he Unleashing the power of 'shi' twice in a row must have caused a huge burden on the assassin's body.

The assassin stabbed the knife into the throat of a guard swordsman, and Suldak could hear the sound of his Adam's apple shattering in the distance. Then he took the rapier from the swordsman's hand and stabbed it pierced the swordsman's chest.

  The assassin's eyes were pure black at this time, and when he opened his mouth to reveal a strange smile, his mouth was full of fangs.

The other female swordsman screamed miserably, with extreme horror in her eyes. Unfortunately, she was bound by the black tentacles and could only watch the assassin piercing her throat with a thin sword. The feeling of waiting to die was almost It made her completely collapse, and at this moment, no one noticed that the wetness under the female swordsman's leather armor skirt was not blood.

   Then the assassin overtook the two swordsmen, and he rushed to the fountain in the center of the garden square with the stolen rapier.

  The black shadows on the two swordsmen suddenly disappeared. Their bodies were stained red with blood, and they fell straight on the snow.

  Suldak followed the assassin, and when he arrived at the side of the two swordsmen, their pupils had already begun to slacken, and there was only air coming out of their mouths, but no air coming in. Bloody chests were heaving with **** foam. .

Police whistles sounded around the garden square, and a group of guard battalion knights quickly came to support them from all directions. Karl rode to the two swordsmen, and the members of the guard battalion behind him immediately treated the two swordsmen. The bodies of the two swordsmen had already started to turn cold, and the guard battalion knight stopped, clutching the magic healing scroll in his hand, and cursed: "Damn it, you are a lackey of the Black Magic Priory." '

   "Catch him, life or death..." An armored knight beside Karl rushed out of the crowd, riding a horse and speeding up.

   A group of knights behind him also followed behind the knight, accelerating towards the assassin who fled to the center of the garden square.

Two horses rushed out from the alley opposite the garden square. On one of them was a ranger in leather armor with a hunting bow on his back and a dagger on his waist. The horse rushed to the side of the assassin without any intention of slowing down. Just when the healthy horse was about to bump into the assassin, the assassin turned over and jumped on the horse, and rode the horse to rush out of the garden square.

Unexpectedly, there was still someone to respond to this assassin, and the guards guarding the outermost camp had not been able to stop him, allowing him to rush into the garden square, leaving only arrows along the way. There were also a few arrows stuck in the back butt, but this didn't seem to affect the horse's running speed.

Seeing that the assassin was about to escape, the knight rushing forward let out a cold snort, like a muffled thunder exploding around him, and then saw a magical halo emerging from the plain armor of the knight, a stream of magical power Flowing in the pattern of the armor, a hexagram magic circle appeared under the horse's feet, and just as the horse neighed, the knight and the horse turned into a white light.

   'charge'

  Surdak saw many heavy cavalry collectively use this skill on the evil spirits on the battlefield.

It's just that he didn't expect this ordinary-looking armored knight to be a costumed knight. He slammed into the assassin at high speed, and the horse in a layer of armor slammed into the assassin without any fancy. There was only a muffled crashing sound from the horse riding below him, and the horse under the assassin fell sideways, while the assassin on the horse took the opportunity to jump off the horse and rolled on the snow in extreme embarrassment. After two laps, he staggered up from the ground and threw himself behind the bush wall beside him.

The assassin fled in a panic, just in time for Suldak to catch up from this side. The assassin saw Suldak running around with a heavy tower shield in his hand. At this moment, his heart almost completely collapsed. He didn't want to face a shield-wielding warrior at this time, so he could only flee in another direction along the bushes.

  But a group of knights from the guard battalion came up from around the garden square, and a row of longbowmen stood farther away. The longbowmen stood in a neat row, aiming at the assassin with their bows and arrows from a distance.

  Under the snowy night, although the assassin's body can disappear briefly in the shadows, it cannot remain invisible all the time, and will reveal its figure after sneaking for a while.

The assassin couldn't run past the knights on horseback with only his feet. He wanted to escape into the residential buildings and use the complicated terrain to avoid the pursuit of these knights, while the companion ran ahead and saw him being framed. The knight's charge was intercepted, and he rode his horse back to meet him, but was stopped by a group of knights led by Karl, and he was already in danger.

The assassin was unwilling to sneak into the shadows again, but a knight's long spear suddenly protruded from the bushes on the left. A knight broke through the bushes and pointed at the assassin with a five-meter-long wooden spear. The assassin was horrified, his body writhed in the air like a carp, and just escaped the blow of the big wooden gun.

   After a short pause, the constructed knight behind caught up again, and he swung the long sword in his hand almost without saying a word, and slashed at the assassin's back.

  The sword glow flashed...

The sharp long sword cut a wound on the back of the assassin who couldn't dodge in time. The assassin's body seemed to have lost his balance, and he threw himself on the snow in a panic. He tried to get up from the ground in a hurry, but was driven from behind. The constructed knight who arrived cut off his head with a sword, and the head with half a mask flew into the air, and rolled to the ground with a cavity of blood.

The constructed knight didn't even look at the assassin, pulled the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and rushed towards another responder. The responder was obviously not as good as the assassin. He was surrounded by Karl and other knights Surrounded in the middle, there were still two feathered arrows stuck in his body, and the rest of the horses were also bleeding. Karl took advantage of his companion's long sword to hold the respondent's neck, and hit the respondent's head hard with the hilt up, and knock him off his horse.

  Someone got off the horse immediately and tied the responder firmly with an oil-soaked rope. Karl was hit a bit hard this time, and the responder fell hard, and he is still unconscious.

"Take it back to the guard camp, pull the torture team out of the bed, and let them examine it overnight!" The knight in costume rode on horseback, took out a rag to wipe off the blood stains on the long sword in his hand, Then put the sword back into the scabbard, and ordered to the surrounding subordinates.

  The guard battalion knight holding the magic scroll chased up from behind, and said to the constructed knight, "Boss, I'm afraid Coslin and Guy won't be able to save them."

The constructed knight's face was gloomy, and then he said: "Take them back to the guard camp first, and notify their families tomorrow morning, now we have to quickly find these rats hiding in the sewer, Carl, you go to the Magic Union to enforce the law Let me know from the regiment that we killed a killer from the Black Magic Priory here in the garden square, and the killer will be 'bound by darkness'..."

   "Oh." The guard battalion knight hurriedly took people to dispose of the dead companion's body.

   "Okay, boss!" Carl agreed, and left without stopping for a moment after speaking, leading a small team of knights.

  Before leaving, he winked at Suldak who was standing on the outermost edge watching the fun, but unfortunately Suldak didn't understand what his eyes were trying to express.

Afterwards, Suldak accepted the routine interrogation of the guard battalion, and took out his reserve knight medal to reveal his identity. Hearing that Suldak had just retired from the plane battlefield not long ago, the constructed knight's expression changed. His mood eased a lot, and then he heard that Suldak had registered as an identity in the Knights Order, and he was still studying at Hailansa Junior Knight Academy, and the last bit of doubt on his face disappeared.

Suldak brought several knights from the guard battalion for on-site inspection to the assassination room of the hotel. The hotel owner and his wife were awakened by the sound of fighting in the room, and they were standing in their pajamas in the messy room, wanting to cry without tears. In this room, a big hole was dug in one wall, more than half of the wooden bed collapsed, and all the windows in the room were rotten. The cold wind and residual snow blew in from the outside, and the proprietress, who was wearing a red silk nightgown, shivered from the cold. .

The knight of the guard camp knights said to the hotel owner: "Go to the guard camp tomorrow morning to register the loss in the hotel. Don't clean up this room for now. Maybe the magic union will go to the scene here tomorrow to take a look. Be sure." Protect the scene."

  The owner of the hotel nodded and agreed. After the guard battalion knight checked the situation on the spot, he ordered Suldak not to spread the story of the attack tonight, and then left the hotel.

  The hotel owner, the proprietress, and Suldak were sitting on the sofa in the lounge area of ​​the lobby. The proprietress found a blanket to wrap around her body, and poked the hotel owner beside her with her hand.

  The hotel owner squeezed out a smile, and greeted Suldak: "Knight Suldak, are you not injured? I saw a lot of blood in the room."

  Suldak touched his nose and said something against his will: "No, fortunately that assassin doesn't seem to be interested in me, maybe he thinks I'm not the person he's looking for."

  He didn't want everyone in the hotel to know that there was an assassin who wanted to assassinate him tomorrow morning, and the hotel owner's big mouth would definitely talk about it everywhere.

   "The room you live in has been smashed..." the hotel proprietress complained in a low voice.

Suldak took out a black dagger from his arms and pushed it in front of the hotel owner. Suldak said to the couple: "Don't worry about your losses. I think this dagger fell in the room." The dagger in the room should be enough to cover the repair cost of your room, even if you replace the wooden bed, floor, doors and windows with new ones, there may still be a surplus, which is considered as the assassin's compensation to you."

After speaking, he took out a gold coin from the purse, put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and said to the hotel owner: "I compensate you for this gold coin, and you can also hire a bricklayer to repair the walls and replace the whole set of gold coins." Bedding and curtains."

The hotel owner blushed immediately. He picked up the jet-black dagger that looked more expensive, pushed the gold coin to Suldak, and said repeatedly: "This dagger left by the assassin is enough, why not?" It’s a shame to take your money.”

The lady proprietress saw that not only would there be no loss, but also a small profit, she stopped crying and said eagerly to Suldak, "Knight Suldak, I'll change it for you again." A room where you can sleep a little longer before dawn...if you can sleep."

  Looking at her fiery eyes, if it wasn't for the innkeeper, she might have said: 'Or go to my room and sleep a little longer, if you can still sleep'

Suldak has to go back to the academy for class tomorrow morning, so he naturally hopes to get another sleep. He said with a smile: "On the plane battlefield, things more dangerous than this happen almost every day. bones, I can sleep as well!"
