Chapter 30: The Dilemma of Life and Death

There are not only mercenary unions in the Beland Continent, but also the more mysterious assassin unions.

The top three assassin organizations on the continent even transcend races and span continents.

Keynes didn't know which Assassin group the enemy came from, but he knew that there was no reason to talk about them, they were like poisonous snakes hiding in the grass, and if they attacked, they would almost never miss a kill, as can be seen from the arrangements they had made for the mercenary groups along the way.

For the "Blue Enchantress" mercenary group, today may be a dead end.

Therefore, while Keynes gave the mercenary group the first retreat order, he rushed forward desperately, and he wanted to fight for the mercenary group.

It wasn't just Keynes who thought so, Adeline, Iraya, and Angus pounced on the rushing killer almost at the same time.

Adeline's magic wand swung rapidly, and huge fireballs flew out of the staff, blasting like cannons at the black-clad killer who burst out of the mist.

Iraya's arrows were faster than fireballs, and the sharp arrows wrapped in fighting spirit broke through the dense fog and went straight to the vital points of the black-clad killers.

The clanging sound was non-stop, the sound of blades and arrows constantly colliding.

Iraya's arrows were shot down one by one by these men in black with the thin black short swords in their hands.

At the same time, ice guns shoot out of the mist, colliding with Adeline's fireballs one by one, annihilating all of them.

When Keynes's sword and the short sword in the hand of the man in black met head-on, his heart sank to the bottom.

The other party had already made targeted arrangements for the mercenary group, and the man in front of him could easily block his frontal sword, at least one level higher than himself. An ice mage hidden in the mist who can so easily annihilate all of Adeline's fireballs must be a high-level mage above level seven.

These black-clothed killers who rushed out were all captain-level martial artists above the fourth level, otherwise it would be impossible to block the sharp arrows fired by the elven archers at such a close range.

Angus had already rushed into the group of killers, but the two men in black on the other side entangled Angus.

The lowest level is a fourth-level killer, this organization is terrifying!

When Keynes, Angus and the others were entangled, the mercenary group that was retreating outside the valley mouth hesitated for a moment, some obeyed the order to withdraw quickly, and some wanted to return to support the leader.

It was only a brief hesitation that the few black-clothed killers who rushed to the front bypassed Adeline and Iraya, and instantly approached the end of the mercenary group.

"Die!" The mercenary who had already turned around pulled the trigger of the steel crossbow, and the dense crossbow arrows shot at the black-clad killer.

There was another clanging sound, and most of the crossbow arrows were knocked down by the short sword in the killer's hand, but many of the crossbow arrows still hit the killer's body in such a close range of intensive shots.

But as if these killers didn't feel pain, they let the crossbow arrows stick in their bodies and rushed straight into the mercenary team.

"Are these guys monsters?" some of the mercenaries even froze for a moment.

"Withdraw, all for Lao Tzu to withdraw!" Keynes yelled as he engaged the men in black.

But it was too late, the pop and puff sound continued, and the black-clothed killer who rushed into the team quickly and neatly pierced the mercenary's vital point with the short sword in his hand.

The well-trained mercenaries were powerless against these killers, and they couldn't stop the fierce attacks of the black-clothed killers at all, and mercenaries fell one after another.

There were only a dozen black-clothed killers who rushed out of the mist, but they shocked the team of more than fifty mercenaries and retreated one after another.

"Brothers, don't retreat, fight with them!" a tall mercenary rounded the big axe in his hand and slashed at the rushing killer.

Opposite him was a thin black-clothed killer, two heads shorter than him, but this killer dodged the powerful axe by squatting down, and then his body jumped up from the ground like lightning, and the short sword in his hand stabbed into the throat of the tall mercenary from the bottom to the top, and then quickly pulled out and rushed towards the next mercenary.

The tall mercenary clutched his throat, which kept spurting blood, his eyes wide in disbelief, and his tall body slowly fell forward.

Still in the middle of the line, Arthur's eyes were blood-red, and he plucked the bowstring in his hand and shot several arrows one after another, but each arrow was easily removed by the killer in front of him with his sword.

Arthur's attack was only exchanged for a glance from the black-clad killer when he killed the other mercenaries, as if to say I remember you.

That glance made Arthur's whole body cold, he seemed to see the scene when the orc tribe was hunting, in the cold gaze of the black-clothed killer, they were no different from the prey, no matter how they struggled, the final outcome was the same.

The big sword in Keynes's hand flickered, and he slashed out three swords in a row, forcing the man in black in front of him to take a few steps back, and he was about to turn around to solve the mercenary's dilemma.

As soon as Keynes turned around, the figure of the man in black ghostly pasted up, and the short sword shot fiercely, piercing Keynes in the back of the heart.

Keynes had to swing his sword back to save himself.

While Keynes was entangled, Adeline, Iraya, and Angus were all in trouble.

The Ice Mage who had stopped Adeline had come out of the mist, the same black-clad and black-masked fellow, whose only difference from the other killers was that instead of a black shortsword, he held a white bone staff.

Three white ice shields swirled rapidly around the killer mage, and one end of the bone staff was steaming with white cold, and with the magician's wave, ice spears and ice bullets flew out of it, and the frequency of ice guns and ice bullets was faster and denser than Adeline's fireball.

Adeline was suppressed and kept retreating, almost unable to fight back, and the hastily erected fire shield was shattered by the ice spears and ice bullets on the opposite side as soon as it appeared, and could only barely support it through dodging and full magic output.

Once Ilaya was limited by the attack power of the close-quarters bow and arrow, the two black-clothed killers who were known for their speed saw the weakness of the elven archer and firmly stuck to Ilaya, not giving him any chance to distance himself.

Angus is also entangled by two black-clad killers, but his situation is even more dangerous than Iraya's.

As a hunter, Angus is not known for frontal combat, facing a professional killer who is also a level 5, and within a few rounds of fighting, he was stabbed several times in succession, but he was able to avoid the key point.

Angus's body was bleeding incessantly, and his movements were getting slower and slower.

The two killers who besieged him also slowed down the frequency of their attacks, but stared at Angus with wolf-like eyes, ready to pounce on him at any moment to deliver a fatal blow.

The entire mercenary group's dangerous Keynes saw it, his head was bruised, his bloody eyes were wide, and his sword aura grew stronger and stronger in the roar......

The man in black opposite Keynes let out a contemptuous sneer, "Don't be fearless, none of you can run away today!"
