The heroes triumphed, the whole world rejoiced, and thousands of people spontaneously joined the procession out of the city to greet them.

Lady Mary, Patriarch Apaca, Duke Da'an and other important figures naturally stood at the front of the welcoming procession.

A few hundred meters away, more than a dozen flags were waving in the wind, and Cepes, dressed in pale gold armor, led the team into the sight of the people.

"I'm back! The victorious team is back! The great Grand Duke Vlad is back! ”

"Oh God! Thank you for giving the Grand Duke to Wallachia! ”

All kinds of heartfelt shouts kept coming from the greeting team, and smiles and tears were mixed in them.

Such a scene made Cepes very pleased, and he instigated the horse to sit down and walk out of the team and run towards the crowd in front.

Amanda, Count Bathory and others, no one went to rob of this glory, and followed the large army unhurriedly.

Twenty meters away from the procession, Madame Maria's tearful eyes could be clearly seen, and Cepesch held the reins.

He jumped off his horse and prepared to walk the last leg of the road to enjoy his own supreme glory.

Suddenly, however, twenty or thirty people burst out of the ranks of civilians and burst into flames!

All along, Murad II did not see Wallachia as a problem, and perhaps this was the only benefit that could be brought by being too weak.

It is precisely for this reason that, except for this frontal attack, the Ottomans did not use any unconventional means to deal with Tepes.

But at the moment, the situation was completely different, and the defeat on the frontal battlefield made the Ottomans want to get rid of Tepes as quickly as possible.

And at this moment, it is the best time for the Ottoman killers lurking in Targoviste to launch an assassination.

More than twenty dead soldiers, all with sharp blades, and even two smaller crossbows.

They were less than twenty meters away from Tepes.

There is no way, the soldiers and security personnel in the city are only a few hundred in total, and most of them have to maintain order in the city.

The two hundred men scattered outside the city were to be divided into more than half to protect Lady Mary and other important people.

The remaining 100 or so people could only be loosely distributed on both sides, separating the thousands of civilians who left the city.

The assassination took place between lightning and fire, and several soldiers near the assassin were killed in an instant, leaving Tepes without his only barrier.

Two killers, a man and a woman, aimed their well-wound crossbows at Cepes and did not hesitate to pick the crossbow machine.

When he saw someone and rushed out of the crowd, Tsepeš said that he was not good, and at the same time made an emergency response.

He quickly approached the big black horse and went to get the dagger and shield from the saddle, but before he could finish the action, two crossbows were aimed at him.

In a hurry, there was no other way, he could only make a quick turn, with the big black horse's neck as the center, and go around to the other side.

In the next second, the big black horse neighed and fell to the ground, and two crossbow arrows were driven deep into its neck.

The two crossbow-wielding killers, seeing that the blow was unsuccessful, simply threw away their crossbow arrows, drew their short blades like the other killers, and rushed towards Cepes.

Killer action, never nonsense, twenty guys, like a silent killing machine, in an instant less than ten meters away from Cepes.

The surrounding soldiers, as well as the civilians who were close, also reacted at this time.

The soldiers yelled and rushed at the killers, hoping to stop them in time, even at the cost of their own lives.

Civilians, some with frightened faces, others rushed with the soldiers, some drew crosses on their chests, asking God to bless Tsepeche.

"You! Did you do it! ”

In the middle of the welcoming procession, Lady Maria's tearful eyes turned cold, and she looked at Apaca at her side, gritting her teeth and asking these words word by word.

The power of the king is strong, the power of the gods is weak, and there are countless nobles who have died at the hands of the church, and Lady Mary has absolutely reason to doubt it.

A few days ago, Apaca had discussed a similar topic with Bishop Mitte, but the result was not to make a move on Cepes.

Faced with the questioning, Apaca did not know whether it was okay or not, but whispered to the two tall monks beside him:

"Go and help."

The two were tall and bulky, but when they received the order, they were extremely fast, like two brown bears pounced on food.

Within a few breaths, they overtook civilians and soldiers and caught up with the killers at the rear.

The sturdy killer was grabbed by the back of the neck by a tall monk and immediately became a corpse.

With absolute power, breaking a person's neck is as easy as breaking a matchstick.

The two monks quickly reaped the killer's life, but the assassin who rushed to the front had already stabbed the short blade in his hand towards Tepes.

Dressed in armor and running fast, Tsepes certainly couldn't match the Assassin in cloth.

So instead of running away, he picked up a short sword and a round shield and prepared himself to defend himself against the enemy.

Looking at the short blade stabbing at him, Cepes responded calmly, took a defensive posture, and raised his round shield to meet the enemy.

And the opponent in front of him is by no means an ordinary person, and he can be sent by Murad II as a dead soldier, and he must be an elite who has been trained since childhood.

When they got into the fight, both of them were slightly surprised, although the weapons they used were different, their moves were similar.

Tsepeš came from Litam, so he immediately judged that the killer was sent by the Ottomans.

In less than two seconds, the short blade and the round shield collided many times, and the two were evenly matched.

However, the balance was shattered in an instant, and two more Assassins arrived and attacked Tepes.

Only seven seconds had passed from the assassination to the current moment.

With one enemy and three enemies, even if you only seek self-protection, it is difficult to parry.

In desperation, Tsepes had to use armor to protect his face, neck, and the gaps between the armor.

The piercing sound of metal grinding reached people's ears, and the delicate pale gold armor bubbled up one after another.

After a few more seconds, Tsepeš was forced to hold himself up by his armor, and four more killers rushed to him.

Damn, I didn't expect to encounter a sneak attack, it was supposed to be a triumphant return, but it turned out to be a nest death.

Damn, if you want to kill Lao Tzu, come on, let's go to hell together!

Thinking so in his heart, Cepes let out an angry roar, no longer blindly defending, and was ready to pull a few people to back him.

However, at this moment, there was a hissing sound behind him, and at the same time, a black shadow suddenly fell.

Amanda and the 'Female Knight' arrived just in time, and the 'Female Knight' used her fastest speed to stop the momentum, raising her two front hooves high and stepping on one of the Assassins.

The horse's hooves trampled on it, and one of the Assassins was caught off guard, being stomped on both shoulders and falling to the ground in an instant.

The sound of bones shattering reached the eardrums of everyone around them, and Amanda's thousand-person slashing mission had a +1 degree of completion.

Immediately afterward, Amanda swung her greatsword and instantly cut off half of the other Assassin's head.

The giantess jumped off her horse and stood side by side with Tepes...... Well, to be exact, her shoulders were with the top of Cepes's head.
