There is an unwritten rule in the mercenary world that in the event of a surprise attack, the first priority of the physical melee class is to protect the caster first.

This is an iron rule, a bloody lesson that the mercenary world has spent hundreds and thousands of years.

There are only two 'functions' in the physics profession. Kill, or 'protect', but the caster is different, as long as it is prepared, it can not only do the first two, but it may also have a combination of healing, terrain changes, climate changes, enemy control, or friendly summoned creature reinforcements.

Even if you are surrounded and in danger, as long as the caster is alive and can cast spells, there is a possibility of turning the tables. On the other hand, if your caster dies, or if there is no caster, but the opponent has a caster, as long as it does not have a great advantage in numbers, then it is also a very dangerous thing.

Because you have no idea what strange things the caster can do next.

Andonara had also been a mercenary for a few months before becoming queen, so she knew the unwritten rule and ...... She stood in front of Roland, and it wasn't just because of the rules.

Nineteen people!

There were nineteen black-robed assassins who were forced out by the strong light, and in just a blink of an eye, everyone on Roland's side counted the number of enemies, after all, no one was weak.

There were twelve more Shadow Assassins than Roland's side, which was why they dared to raid them.

There is always some advantage to having more people.

Looking at the nineteen murderous assassins who were as fast as ghosts, Roland was the slowest to react. The others were already in a position and were preparing to deal with the onslaught of the enemy, especially Rafe, who had taken the huge tower shield out of the system backpack as a shield and was already on the defensive.

But at this time, someone made a move.

It's Roland.

While Roland was the slowest to react, it was only relative.

He is pure full of intelligence and high willpower to grow. 'Coordination', which is the attribute of the supervisor's reaction speed and the softness and sensitivity of the body, is only the most basic 5 points.

Slow is a bit slower than the others, probably 0.05 seconds slower, but as he levels up, his reaction speed will be further distanced from that of other physical classes, unless a buff magic that increases reaction power is used.

While others take out their weapons and heat them, it takes at least half a second.

And Roland's spells are all instantaneous.

In less than half a second, the Assassins had already reached a distance of almost nine meters, almost less than ten meters in front of them.

Then Roland flicked his fingers.

Sleep!

Immediately, the four assassins fell asleep in the rush, like hungry dogs grabbing food, flew directly to the ground, and slid on the stone ground for four or five meters, and the other three felt dizzy and weak, yawned, and stopped after running a few steps, and slapped their heads vigorously.

Although he did not fall asleep, he also lost his combat effectiveness.

With this spell, Roland used nearly half of the enemy's combat power.

This is also what Roland discovered when he had a conflict with the Shadow Assassin Guild before. It seems that many assassins have very poor mental resistance, and if you go down to a range of sleep, you can get hit by about a third of the target.

"Well done."

Seeing this, Rafe roared and directly launched a shield-wielding charge.

On the city wall, the width was less than twenty meters, and Rafe charged over with a collision, the relative speed of the two sides was too fast, and two assassins couldn't dodge, and they were directly knocked upside down and flew back on the spot, blood spurting wildly from their mouths.

At the moment when Rafe knocked the man into the air, the bowstring on his left side rang three times.

A black-robed thief swung his dagger frantically in a dash, smacking two arrows, but then with a snort, one of the arrows plunged directly into his throat, and half a second later, he fell to his knees on the ground, and fell to the ground with two thuds.

Brazil made a back-jump, jumped five metres and pulled the bow again.

At this moment, there were only nine shadow assassins who rushed in front of them.

The two sides then engaged in a hand-to-hand battle, with a smoke bomb from Hussere directly scaring off the three Shadow Assassins, while Beta and Li Lin each held one Assassin in check. Because of his talent, Beta has more than enough defense and insufficient attack, and he is temporarily inseparable from the Assassins.

And Li Lin is a berserker, and his movement is slightly slow, but every time he wields the giant sword, there will be a strange sound, and the assassins who fought with him heard this sound, and they were so frightened that they turned around and left.

Li Lin jumped to his feet on the spot: "Why did you run away?" Come and fight me for 300 rounds! ”

Then the assassin ran faster.

The bowstring sounded again, and Brazil killed another Assassin, a bloodthirsty grin on his face.

The most brilliant is Queen Andonara, who directly fired a Z-shaped charge, instantly appearing behind the three assassins, and the upper body of the three assassins rose into the sky, and was actually cut down by her in an instant.

The postman who was in charge of shouting 666 on the side couldn't help but whistle when he saw this.

This strength ...... It's kind of amazing.

It was less than five seconds, and in the blink of an eye, there were only four Assassins on the field, and three Assassins had just woken up from their groggy state.

When they saw this, they immediately turned and ran.

Come fast and go fast.

But the assassin who had fallen to the back suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and when he looked back, his eyes almost popped out.

A blue mage hand grabbed his bare left leg and dragged him back.

The assassin's eyes showed grief, and then a cold light flashed, and he cut off his left leg with a dagger.

Blood splattered, too yourself. Roland and the others were stunned.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Assassin jumped on one leg to the edge of the battlement, and then flipped over.

Roland and the others ran over and saw that because there was no strong light, the assassin turned into a snake-like black shadow in mid-air, wandering against the surface of the city wall, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

A few people looked at the distance of the city wall and found that the huge ball of light that Roland had made just now had attracted the attention of the other patrols, and someone faintly ran over.

"The Shadow Guild should have just received a mission from the royal family, this wave should be their elite, and they should not be able to threaten us for the time being. It should be left straight to the city wall. ”

The rope was thrown to the other side of the wall this time, and several people climbed the rope to go down quickly.

Roland, on the other hand, didn't need to be so troublesome, he directly used the teleportation technique and waited for them below.

After a few people came down, the two patrols also ran to the place where they had just been, and one by one the torches were lit on the city wall, but unfortunately the torches did not illuminate a wide range, and the soldiers only saw a few faint black shadows leaving.

Because the postman has been live broadcasting, the live broadcast room is boiling again at this time.

'I'm X, this is the strength of the top guilds? It's outrageous. More than a dozen shadow assassins, most of them were overturned in an instant, and the rest were directly scared away? ’

"It's not a top-level guild, it's the only guild on the whole server for the time being." ’

'Roland flicked his fingers and fell four, and three lost their combat effectiveness, the mage is too strong, let's sharpen the knife girl.' ’

'The queen is also so powerful, Z-charge, it is said to be a high-level specialty, how did she learn it. ’

'I'll go, it's good to be strong, even such a powerful queen can get it.' ’

The discussion in the chat room continues, and shows no signs of abating.

And Roland and the others also encountered some small troubles in the grove outside the royal city.

"Why didn't the mission be completed?" The postman was a little surprised.

The task of protecting the queen to a safe place is still untouched.

Other words...... Still not safe here?

None of the individuals present were of poor intelligence, and they immediately began to be on guard.

At this time, they suddenly found that the forest was a little too quiet.

Roland thought for a moment, and instantly sent four giant balls of light floating into the air, illuminating a nearby radius of about one hundred and fifty meters.

Hussere looked at the surrounding woods, narrowed his eyes and said, "We are surrounded. ”
