Chapter XXIV: Assassination

The distance between the province of Kerry and the central province is not far, starting from the imperial capital, passing by the edge of the southeastern province and entering the territory of the province of Kerry. The distance between the imperial capital and the capital of the province of Ksley is no more than 1,300 miles in a straight line, and of course the headquarters of the 'Fierce Shark Legion' is located in the southernmost part of the province of Ksley, close to the South China Sea, and it can be reached in about a week by the journey of the Wright convoy.

The province of Kerry is close to the South China Sea, has a mild climate with abundant rainfall, and due to the large number of rivers that converge, it seems that there is no shortage of irrigation in the farmland of the province.

However, in reality, due to its proximity to the South China Sea, most of the rivers in the province of Ksley, especially at the southern end, have a certain amount of salt, and the soil infiltrated by brackish water and brackish water is only suitable for growing some salt-tolerant crops, and its products are relatively poor.

However, the waters near the province of Ksley lack a good port, but there are quite a large number of sea monsters, and there are few fishermen who fish or adventurers who hunt sea monsters. It's not like the Sunset Province to eat from the mountains!

In contrast, the Kuril Province next door is a completely different cultural landscape, and the latter is a well-known and wealthy region of the empire and even the entire continent.

Fortunately, the inland fishing industry in the province of Kerry is relatively developed, and it is rich in all kinds of fatty aquatic products, plus some minerals, which can barely be sustained.

Wright and his party slowly drove into the province of Ksley, of course, they had only just entered the province of Xsley, and they were still nearly half the distance from the headquarters of the 'Shark Legion'.

The trade roads of the province of Kerry were covered with fine sand, flanked by native trees with long and narrow leaves, and bearing red fruits, but according to the hired guides, although these fruits could satisfy hunger, they tasted extremely bad, and no one would eat them unless it was a real famine, not even some monsters!

At least if he tasted a cold sunspot, he spit it out in disgust.

Although there is still some distance from the coastline of the South China Sea, Wright and Cecilia also smell a salty breeze, of course, the sea breeze cannot blow here, but the river water here has a faint salty smell, the river water in the north of the province of Kerry is still drinkable, and the south near the sea, the river is well developed, but the rainwater has to be collected.

The scenery along the way also opened the eyes of Wright and others.

About three miles from the side of the road where Wright's team was, there was a piece of ground in the middle of a jungle, and the soil on the surface was faintly different from the surrounding area. At a depth of more than three meters underground, there is a small space.

Six black figures sat in a circle, and each of their faces seemed to be cut with sharp weapons such as blades, not one or two wounds, but all of their faces were cut, making it impossible to distinguish their true identities. And if you look closely, you can see that the color of the scar seems to be a little wrong, and if you let some experienced alchemists see it, you will know that it is smeared with a special alchemy potion, which has the effect of making magic irreversible.

"Number Three, the attack will be handed over to you then!" The person with the faint core in the six figures said indifferently.

"One, that's no problem!" The old man's voice came, "Except for me, I guess few people are sure to kill him." But as you know, my body is aging to the point of collapse, and I can only do it with one blow at most, and if I can't create the conditions for an attack, I can't do it. ”

"Don't worry!" The figure known as No. 1 said: "There is no need to think about others when attacking, we don't care about life when we come to do it, not to mention that even if we don't die this time, we won't live for a few years!" ”

"You won't be dead for a few years, but I want to live longer!" The oldest of the six, the old man who looked like a skeleton in human skin, sneered that he was the only one who was not affiliated with the other five.

"Okay two, anyway, you don't have to do it directly, why are you so excited!"

"Six, you're going to give the final explanation!"

"Yes, sir!"

"There are currently eleven wagons in the other party's line, and we can't tell which one is the target's sausage."

"According to the intelligence, in addition to the target person and the two demonic beasts, there is also a woman accompanying the team, according to the intelligence, she should also be a warrior, but the strength should not be too strong. The trickier ones outside the target task this time should be the ninth-level black bear of the target, and a flapping eighth-level bird demonic beast! ”

"The plan is for Number Two to drive the undead to attack them, forcing the target to appear, and if the persecution is successful, the number three will attack! If the target doesn't come out, the undead of Number Two will be responsible for pestering those irrelevant weaklings who do not bother us with the assassination attempt, while Number Four and Five will join forces to clean up from the first carriage! At the same time, No. 1 will take action to contain that ninth-level purple-veined black bear, and I will use the 'Destruction Crossbow' to kill that flying demonic beast!" ”

"According to the intelligence, the target attaches great importance to that flying demonic beast, and there is a certain probability that he can be forced out!"

"We only have two chances to kill him, and Three's attack could kill him, if not, or if the target dodges. It's up to me to use the 'Destruction Crossbow' to attack, and if we can seriously injure him, we'll surround him together, and there's a certain chance of success." ”

After Six's explanation, the crowd fell silent. After a while, No. 1 came out with a sentence, "I won't say anything like that for the (Magnolia) Empire, everyone is close to the end of their life, not for themselves, but also for the sake of their relatives."

Half a day later, a convoy drove slowly past, and suddenly the ground suddenly cracked, and dozens of skeletons with faint green flames bubbling out of their skulls as white as jade stones, armed with weapons and killed.

"Undead!" Many of the civil officials in the convoy were a little discolored, but Wright, who was the backbone of the convoy, was not afraid at all, after all, according to his eyesight, these skeletons were at most about seven levels, similar to the skeleton general he killed in the courtyard of Xiacheng City back then, but a few transparent ghosts mixed in the skeletons seemed to be more threatening.

However, Wright didn't make a move, and even pressed Cecilia who was eager to try beside him, the strength of these skeletons and ghosts didn't need them to do it. What's more, Wright thinks that someone dares to assassinate, and I'm afraid it's not just this means.

This is indeed the case, the two major demonic beasts under Wright, Xiao Hei stood aside and was a little dumbfounded, with his size, there was really not much to do in the face of the undead who were entangled and fighting with the convoy guards, after all, he slapped down, it is estimated that the skeletons will turn into powder, and the guards who are entangled together will also have to turn into meat sauce.

On the contrary, the weaker Elek is smaller in size and very dexterous, and her wings are mixed with the flapping of the power of light, but she can easily destroy one undead after another.

In addition, the entourage this time naturally has its own escort.

The civil official with the letter of appointment was followed by a royal guard, and the captain and deputy captain of the seventh-level strength, assisted by eight sixth-level warriors, relied on the battle formation in the army to withstand the attack of the five-headed skeleton general.

Smith Joel's guards were slightly weaker, but Smith himself was also a powerful warrior of the eighth level, so he naturally easily smashed the skeletons.

On the contrary, Wright's side has no subordinates he can trust. However, Wright asked for a guard from the Third Prince, a warrior from the Baruch family, and spent some gold to hire two famous lone mercenaries, as well as four seventh-level warriors as his guards.

The average strength of these four level 7 warriors is stronger than the captain of the royal guard, and the magicians who entered the 'Shark Legion' with Wright released fireballs, thunderbolts, ice storms and other magic, and also killed a large number of casualties.

Suddenly, two figures rushed out from the side of the road, both armed with swords and large shields, and slammed into the first carriage!

Kuroko Daiki, who can't intervene on the side, slaps a pair of bear paws! With his strength, it is also a dead word for an ordinary ninth-level warrior to be photographed.

However, strangely, several slippery tentacles like octopuses rolled around the sunspot, and the tentacles exuded fluctuations of dark magic, and the huge purple-veined black bear also felt a chill on its body.

Dark Magic's Ice Tentacles! ’

Wearing a black robe, No. 6 has tense muscles all over his body, holding a giant crossbow larger than his own body, and using this crossbow with the powerful use of a ninth-level warrior is also a huge burden! The crossbow arm was open, his eyes were fixed on the one who was destroying the undead, and his right hand held the trigger.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp crossbow bolt flashed like a meteor, and Electric, who was happily destroying the undead, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

A pair of wings flapped quickly, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a streamer of arrows, and a trace of despair appeared in his eyes.
