Chapter 119: Assassins
(Thank you for the reward of Phantom Dance Yusheng!Thank you, brother!Routine addition!)
At this moment, there was a shout of killing in the courtyard outside the house. Charlotte and Zenas looked at each other warily, then looked out the door in unison.
Someone sneak attacked!
Zenas drew his sword, but was startled by Charlotte's action of drawing his sword as well. The latter shrugged his shoulders at Zenas and motioned for the other to go first. Although Zenas was puzzled by Charlotte's sword, he still walked out the door first according to the usual tactics.
The courtyard was already in disarray, and masked Assassins poured in from all directions, all of them athletic and ruthless. In the first moment of the sneak attack, Zenas's men lost several fighters. But soon, the situation gradually stabilized under the command and counterattack of Nick and Judson, coupled with the shots of El, Vivien, and Lolita, the situation gradually reversed.
By the time Zenas and Charlotte stepped out of the door one after another, Nick and the others had gradually grasped the advantage. The masked Assassin and Zenas's men fought each other, and the attacked side quickly stabilized their position and began to push the Assassin back.
As soon as Zenas left the room, he drew his sword and slashed without saying a word. He is agile and athletic, as dexterous and powerful as a panther. Charlotte's eyes lit up, and she saw that Zenas had pounced on an assassin like a hunting panther, and his movements were not fancy, just a stab and a pull, the assassin dodged the straight stab, but was pulled by Zenas backhand and wiped his neck.
Blood gushed out, and Zenas kicked him in the waist, kicking the man away and knocking the two behind him into the air. At the same time, with the strength of his feet, he immediately caught up with the two of them, and with a swing of his sword, he slashed them again.
After a few years of not seeing, Zenas's martial arts became more refined. What is unfolding in front of Charlotte's eyes at this moment is a killing method without a trace of fancies, refined, simple, dangerous, and deadly, this is the impression that Zenas gives people.
He is like a black panther hunting with his body bowed, and he is thunderous as soon as he strikes.
The refined martial arts were unexpectedly pleasing to the eye in his hands, and Zenas stepped forward with his sword, and in just a few moments, he slew the already invincible assassin on his back.
Charlotte had been going to cast a spell, but now she was completely out of ideas. With the idea of honing his martial arts, he also joined the battle group with an enchanted hand and a half-sword.
The mage's melee skills are different, not so much refinement as weirdness. With the blessing of various change spells that increase physical fitness, combined with the cheating prediction ability of the Vientiane Eye, Charlotte can often seize the opportunity. When placed in battle, it looks as strange as if an enemy stupidly crashed into his blade.
Judson had just finished off the two assassins with his Hidden Arrow when he turned his head and was dumbfounded.
When I first met Charlotte a few years ago, although he was powerful, he was still in the realm of a mage. But now, a few years later, Charlotte seems to have changed classes, and she looks better than the average fighter.
"Be careful! It's a crossbow bolt!"
Judson was surprised, but as an Assassin, his vigilance was extraordinary. Noticing the glimmer of light reflected off the rooftops around him, he immediately shouted a warning.
The sharp whistling of crossbow arrows pierced the sky, and someone aimed at Charlotte. Although the Vientiane Demon Eye is strong, after all, it observes the opponent's actions through the flow of magic energy, and in the final analysis, it is a prediction rather than a prophecy. In the face of the extremely fast-shooting crossbow, Charlotte, who was engrossed, did not react, and the crossbow arrow went straight to her back with a thud, and Judson's heart tightened not far away.
He didn't know why, but he instinctively worried about this aristocratic son.
However, Judson's worries were unfounded, and after he exclaimed, he realized that the crossbow arrow was deflected by an invisible force field the moment it approached Charlotte's body. The bolts swished into the dirt in the courtyard, and before Judson's 'ah' exclamation could be finished, Charlotte turned her head and raised her eyebrows at him.
Cut!
Judson pouted.
Charlotte swung two swords to force the assassin away, and ordered Elle and the others to take charge of the three crossbowmen.
It was the powerful 'Thunder Fury', this kind of bow and crossbow belonged to the most secret military machinery in the former San Lorenzo Empire, it is said that it can even cause great damage to the rough-skinned monitor lizard within 100 meters, at this moment the crossbowman is standing less than 100 meters away from the courtyard, if it were not for Charlotte's constant defensive spell, at this time I am afraid that it has been shot into a meat skewer.
The opponent seems to be equipped with only one 'Thunderrage' in total, and except for one shot at Charlotte, the rest of the crossbows are all ordinary military crossbows. However, such a close shooting also caused Zenas's subordinates to suffer heavy losses.
Judson yelled and called out to two or three agile assassins to rush there. At the same time, Elle, Vivien, and Lolita cast spells, using fireballs and missiles to suppress the crossbowmen on the other side.
This was the last counterattack of the Assassins, and the winding of the crossbow arrows doomed them to be unable to shoot continuously, and after being suppressed by the mages from a distance, the crossbowmen suffered heavy losses and were attacked by the Assassin team led by Judson in close quarters, so they were immediately defeated, and there was no way to fight back.
Sadly, despite Zenas' repeated requests to stay alive, the well-trained Assassins committed suicide immediately after their defeat. No one begged for mercy, and the moment they were captured, they killed themselves by biting the poison sacs in their teeth.
"These people are professional. Nick said as he tidied up the yard.
"yes. Charlotte put her half-sword back into her waist, and the battle just now made everyone realize that it was not a simple ornament, "But they shot an arrow at me, look at the appearance of a down-and-out middle-aged man now, do I look like Zenas?"
"But now I'm really down. Zenas laughed self-deprecatingly, and he pulled a sword flower and shook the blood beads off it, "And your sword skills were so high just now." ”
Zenas's eyes were full of curiosity, and although it wasn't direct enough, it was also a subtle test of when Charlotte would open up her melee ability. He hadn't thought about Charlotte becoming a knight, because he was still the top wizard in terms of logic and the protective arrows he had just used.
Judson examined the Assassins' corpses, trying to find out who they were, "Maybe they're here for you." ”
"Huh?" Charlotte seemed to be looking at an idiot, "sending so many people just to kill a middle-aged man who doesn't even know who I am?!"
Charlotte pointed to her face, Elenie's deceptive mask was still there, it was the face of a bland middle-aged man.
"Well, that's wrong. At this time, the bald man Moon held his chin and showed a strange expression, "If you are here for Zenas, you shouldn't use 'Thunder Fury' to deal with the Earl." I'm sorry, Count, but I don't mean to belittle you, but your current image really doesn't attract the attention of the Assassins. ”
Charlotte waved her hand, signaling that it was okay.
"Maybe it's because of the strange idiocy of the guy who used 'Thunder Fury'?" said Judson, unconvinced, something he didn't even believe.
"I think you're more of an idiot!" Charlotte said without hesitation. ()
