Chapter Twenty-Three: Hand-to-Hand
"Okay young master." At this time, Radno still listened to Linton for two reasons. First of all, Linton defeated the captain of the City Guard, Chiora, and Radno was originally very dissatisfied with Chiora, he was often bullied by him when he was in the City Guard before, and then after arriving at Linton's house, he felt even more hateful to this rogue captain, and Linton defeated him, he was indeed somewhat obedient to this young master.
Secondly, curiosity is the nature. You must know that Radno is a person who has never been out of a small town in his life, and of course he is very curious about things outside, after all, he is a young man. Now when something like this happens, Radno's first reaction is not fear, but excitement, and of course he wants to see what is going on.
The carriage increased its speed a little, and immediately came to the front, and sure enough, everyone heard the sound of battle. There was the sound of swords clashing, and there were shouts of people.
After getting closer, Linton soon saw what was ahead. There were two groups of people fighting, and the number of them was about ten. One of the groups was obviously officers and soldiers, and they were all wearing armor, and it was a standard type of armor. On the other side, the group of people were all wearing cloaks, and everyone was almost covering their heads, just showing a pair of eyes, looking at this look, a bit like an assassin or something.
Linton took a brief look and saw that the soldiers seemed to have a disadvantage, because it was obvious that there were already a lot of corpses of guards on the ground, and the cloaked assassin didn't seem to have anyone fallen, so the assassin clearly had the upper hand in terms of combat effectiveness.
"Can you tell which family it is?" Linton asked, gesturing to the man in front of him.
"It's not our Merlowe family, but it should be a nobleman, I seem to have seen this emblem somewhere, it should be a nearby nobleman." Eke replied.
Of course, at this time, Linton's carriage also attracted the attention of two groups of people, who were originally concentrating on the battle, but they didn't expect a third party to enter at this time. It's just that when they saw Linton's carriage, the officers and soldiers obviously showed disappointed expressions, they thought that reinforcements were coming at first, but looking at Linton's appearance, they didn't look like reinforcements.
"Stop here, I'll go check on the situation." Linton saw a few Assassins on the other side and a few men with long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, but told Ek to stop. Although he didn't worry about himself, the few of them were very weak, and they had no combat power at all.
"Young Master, I'll go with you." Radno here said immediately.
"You can't even beat me, how can you help." Linton said.
There was a loud "bang", and just as the two were talking, a sound suddenly sounded like an explosion in front of them. When everyone looked up, they found that two people had suddenly fallen on the side of the officers and soldiers, as if they had been hit by something like a flame, and they were still on fire.
"What's going on?" Radno hurriedly asked.
"Yes...... Enchanter? Zag, who was sitting next to him, had been watching the situation in front of him, and when he saw this, he also showed a somewhat frightened expression. Magicians, that is a more advanced existence than ordinary martial artists, requires higher talents, so there are fewer of them, and it is an existence that is revered by many people.
"How is that possible?" Ek behind him came up and said, "How could the magician-sama ...... This...... This is no ordinary Assassin ......"
Linton probably also heard the meaning, people with magician talent seem to have a very high status, and it is naturally impossible to do the business of assassins, so this group of assassins is estimated to have been sent by someone, and this person should also be a very powerful person, a magician who can command.
Of course, Linton was not afraid, and said to the people next to him again: "You are all waiting for me here." After saying that, Linton also walked up again.
Looking at Linton who suddenly walked towards them, these assassins were also very strange, I originally thought that Linton saw this situation and it was too late to run, what did you do when you came up by yourself? One of the Assassins nodded at the Assassin with a bow and arrow next to him, and motioned for him to take out Linton.
The Assassin with the bow and arrow also nodded, and then aimed directly at Linton, his body flashed, and then shot an arrow. The arrow was like a meteor, straight to Linton's face, and Linton also noticed that the arrow of this arrow was also shining, and it was obvious that this archer was also a big guy who could use fighting spirit.
The Assassin's team was a bit too luxurious, but Linton's concern was not this, but his own situation. Watching the other party make a move, Linton has been waiting for the sound effect, but until the arrows are about to fly in front of him, Linton hasn't heard the sound he is waiting for.
"What's going on?" Of course, what Linton is waiting for is the prompt sound of automatic combat, and Linton has encountered a lot of this situation, when those ninjas threw him with shurikens before, they would hear the prompt sound almost the moment they shot, but what is the situation now, why are the arrows about to hit themselves, and I haven't heard the prompt sound yet.
Although I don't know what's going on, Linton can only do it himself at this time. So as soon as the writing wheel eye was opened, Linton saw the trajectory of the arrow in an instant, stretched out his hand and grabbed it directly, just grasping the arrow in his hand.
"What?" Everyone was stunned, especially those assassins, this is not a situation that ordinary people do, you said that they can still accept the attack of the bow and arrow, and directly hold the bow and arrow in the air with one hand, this guy is definitely not an ordinary person.
Among the officers and soldiers, a middle-aged man also had a bright eye. He was obviously different from the soldiers next to him, the other soldiers were all wearing armor, only this middle-aged man was wearing some gorgeous clothes, it was obvious that he was the nobleman that the guards protected.
Of course, he also noticed Linton's side, and when he saw Linton's hand, he guessed that Linton might be a master, and hurriedly shouted to Linton's side: "This hero, I am Imperial Baron Wilson. Seders, these are assassins, and I ask this hero to help me, and I will be rewarded in the future! ”
"Baron Seders?" Linton was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard the name. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked directly in the direction of Eck behind him. Na Eke was also stunned, and when he saw Linton looking at him, he also remembered something and shouted directly: "By the way, young master, I remember, this is the family crest of the Siders family!" ”
"Is that okay?" Linton raised his forehead, wasn't he still discussing whether to ask Baron Seders for a favor, this guy actually appeared like this? Looking at this situation, Baron Seders seems to be moving in the same direction as them, that is, he is also going to his eldest brother's wedding?
I have to say that it's a coincidence, but the recent things seem to be quite coincidental, it's not that he was assassinated recently, and then this time it's Baron Seders' turn, isn't there too many recent assassinations. Linton didn't know what was going on, but vaguely felt that these assassinations were not simple, and that they might be the work of the same people, but they didn't know the purpose.
Of course, people still have to be saved, and this Baron Seders may be able to help him now, and he may also have a grudge against these assassins, and his name is probably on the list of these people. Of course, Linton also has a strange place, that is, why didn't he turn on his auto-battle.
"Hey, Battle Ji, why didn't you speak this time?" Linton tried to communicate.
"Is the host going to start auto-battle?" At this time, the voice of the system was heard.
"Huh? Why did you ask me this time? Linton asked strangely, "Didn't you always open it without asking?" Can this still be set to not automatic? ”
"In a world with a low security level, you can set whether or not to turn on automatically." Battle Ji said suddenly.
"Huh? Low security level? How can this be judged? Linton asked.
"......" turned out to be no answer this time. Even so, Linton probably understands that it seems that the security level of his main world is low, so he can choose whether to open the automatic battle, but the other worlds seem to have a higher security level, so he can't choose. But how is this security level determined? Nothing to suggest, is this related to permissions?
But when I faced the assassin before, I seemed to have automatically started the battle, so what's going on? Linton thought about it for a moment, that time he seemed to be sleeping, but he was suddenly attacked, could it be this relationship? He hadn't heard the prompt, but he had guessed pretty much.
While Linton was thinking about this, two of the assassins had already come towards him, and obviously realized from the situation just now that he was not easy to deal with, and directly sent two of them. Linton also drew his sword, and as a nobleman, the sword basically cannot be separated from his body. Linton's saber seems to have been given to him by his father, and it is a relatively good weapon, at least it should be the sharpest longsword in the entire town.
At this time, the first assassin had already rushed forward with his sword, and before he could enter the attack distance, the opponent had already begun to swing his sword.
After all, Linton had experience in fighting with the Dou Qi Boss, and he knew that the other party was going to use a skill similar to the Dou Qi Slash again. However, the opponent's actions are completely in his prediction, and this writing wheel eye can completely see the opponent's actions and tricks, and even see the opponent's future actions.
As soon as he lowered his head, Linton dodged the opponent's slash in advance, and at the same time, with a step, he raised his hand to make a sword, directly hitting the opponent's waist. However, after hitting the opponent, Linton felt a strong resistance. After thinking about it, it is estimated that it is a fighting spirit and body protection, which increases the defensive power, but Linton doesn't care about these at all, and directly holds the sword with both hands, and pulls it forward with force.
With a "bang", Linton's long sword directly brought out a blood line, and in just one round, the assassin on the opposite side was directly cut off by the waist and fell to the ground.
