Chapter 448: The Assassination Begins
Perhaps because of the president Mu Yun, although the Mu Tianxia Guild now has a good appeal to all Imperial players as the first player guild of the empire, if you want to talk about it, the Mu Tianxia Guild is especially desired by the majority of assassin players.
After all, among the top ten professions in "Redemption", from action modeling to skill effects, the assassin profession can rank in the top three or even the first place in the hearts of most people. And Mu Yun, in the battles large and small since his debut, aside from the proud results of the victory, those battles that were accidentally witnessed by others and recorded and posted on the forum, Mu Yun's figure full of the feeling of "killing one person in ten steps, leaving no line for a thousand miles" has satisfied all the romantic yearning for the assassin profession with one move and one handsome action, which has long been talked about by people.
It is precisely because of the existence of Mu Yun, a benchmark assassin, that many assassins on the imperial side, especially masters, almost always choose the Mu Tianxia Guild when considering joining the guild. Some people regard the thief god Mu Yun as an idol, some people see Mu Yun as a benchmark for themselves to challenge, and some people want to have the opportunity to have daily exchanges with Mu Yun and other high-level assassins...... Regardless of their intentions, the result was the creation of a team of top-level assassins in the Shepherd World Guild that was so talented that even Xinghe couldn't envy it.
Mu Yun also knows how to take advantage of this advantage, after taming these unruly assassin masters through strong personal strength and leadership charisma in the guild, Mu Yun imitated the empire's NPC Dragon Tooth Society, and formed an assassin team composed of most of the members of the assassin profession in Mu Tianxia, which is responsible for dealing with some assassinations in the game and PK tasks by abnormal means. There are many well-known players and masters in the game who have fought against Mu Tianxia have been planted in the hands of this assassin team, such as the high-level of guilds such as the Blood Rage Tribe, which was once hostile to Mu Tianxia, and even in the former national war, even the Star Proud Demon Knife, which was responsible for the front-line command of the battle on the side of the Star Glory Palace, was once surrounded and killed on the battlefield by Mu Tianxia's assassin group.
Although because it is a team action, it is not as good as Mu Yun who is always single-handed, but the long-term achievements of the Mu Tianxia Assassin Regiment are enough to make them feel proud, but this time Mu Yun assigned them the task, but they are really a little incomprehensible.
Stalking and assassinating a casual player?
If the other party is a person from the Hall of Stars, then they can still understand it somewhat, after all, the Hall of Stars is the main competitor of the world in the game today, but after their investigation, no, there is no need to investigate at all, as long as a simple identity determination knows that the longbow ranger girl who is their target and her small team are all casual players, and after the ring match, they also immediately parted ways with the Hall of Stars, and it doesn't seem that they are very close to the Hall of Stars.
What is the assassination value of such a target? Why does the undefeated thief god Muyun have to get along with this group of scattered players?
As the leader of the Assassin Regiment, Thunder Dao and the members of the regiment couldn't figure it out, but as the head of the regiment, Thunder Dao, who was loyal to Mu Tianxia and Mu Yun, would not affect the execution of the task at hand because of that little doubt in his heart. After confirming that there was only a small team of five or six people around the other party, Lei Dao also selected nine assassins from the assassin group who had not yet sent out the mission, plus he himself gathered ten people to carry out the assassination mission.
After all, now that the Mutian family has a big business, their assassin group is also busy every day, and it is impossible to only focus on one task at hand, but after all, this time it is a task entrusted by the president himself, and for the sake of insurance, Lei Dao, the leader of the assassin group, also personally took action, in case there is any accident that they did not expect or detect.
At first, Lei Dao actually felt that he might be a little too cautious about this mission, but soon, when they chose the ambush location to carry out the ambush, the other party's performance instantly made the little relaxation in his heart disappear.
Are you kidding?! How did that girl find them so far away?
It is not uncommon for assassins to be detected when they are carrying out hidden assassinations, but the problem is that this time the assassins led by Thunder Dao are all members of the Assassin Corps of the Shepherd World, in other words, they are the absolute best in the vast number of assassin professions on the imperial side, and their excellent equipment attributes make their concealment attributes quite high, even if they also have a perception bonus, it stands to reason that they should not be noticed when they are still so far away just from the beginning of the circle.
However, the reality was such a slap in the face, the other party sensed their approach, and except for the girl who was the target of their assassination in the seat, the rest of them immediately formed a very easy to defend and difficult to attack team formation.
After seeing that the other party had discovered them and put on a posture of fighting, the first reaction of the Lei Dao who led the team was to cancel the attack plan and let everyone retreat first to wait and see the situation, but when the words came to his lips, Lei Dao hesitated again. Although the rest of the opposing team has formed a defensive formation, the girl who is the target of their assassination is alone outside the team for some reason, as a longbow ranger, breaking away from the team and leaving alone in such a situation is generally tantamount to killing herself.
Thunder Knife's mission is not to destroy this team but to assassinate Rococo, so for them, this may be a better opportunity to make a move than before, after all, in this situation, they can easily isolate Rococo and her companions completely, and then use their absolute superiority in numbers to completely kill Rococo. It's just that the other party shouldn't be so stupid, and Lei Dao is a little worried that there may be some conspiracy hidden in such a position that looks very flawed.
Due to the hesitation in his heart, Thunder Knife missed the opportunity to give the first order to the team members, and because of this, the other Assassins who acted together reacted to this situation that they did not expect, and each reacted with their own intuition and experience. Unfortunately, due to the pride of being a master and the glorious past of few failures of the Shepherd Assassin Regiment since its inception, only two of the remaining nine members of the team were as conservative as Thunder Knife, and the remaining seven made the decision to stop hiding and act immediately after the initial surprise.
Three people to contain Rococo's partners, and the remaining four are to disperse and encircle Rococo, since the stealth sneak attack is recognized, it is directly hard, the assassin profession of "Redemption" because there are a lot of breakthrough and displacement skills, in fact, it does not rely on stealth very much, and even in fact, many assassins are actually better at frontal assault than stealth sneak attacks.
However, they still underestimated their opponents, and at the moment when they did not retreat, Rococo had already roughly captured the approximate position of everyone except for the Thunder Knife and another assassin standing behind them with their superb sensing ability. Immediately afterwards, with the water elemental summoning skill in one hand, the Rococo water elemental lord appeared instantly, and directly used the sticking skill to control the four assassins who took an aggressive approach.
Two of the four were aiming at the Ice Shooter and the others, and the other two were about to rush towards Rococo, although two of them broke free from the control of the Water Elemental Lord with their skills and immediately regained their ability to move freely, but Rococo's first move undoubtedly completely disrupted their rhythm.
Among the three people who were originally responsible for containing Rococo's friends, only one assassin came to the vicinity of the Ice Shooter as scheduled, and seeing that his companions had not yet arrived, the man's actions finally hesitated, that is, this delay made him completely change from active to passive.
Sensing the flash bubble of the assassin's position at close range, a move of alchemy blast forced him to dodge to the side, and accidentally guessed the trap set by the Ice Shooter and was broken and invisible, and then the next second, the effect of the Silent Curse skill of the Star Fruit appeared on his body, interrupting his desire to force the hidden.
Fortunately, the tacit understanding of the Mutianxia Assassin Group was not covered, after being controlled by Rococo first, the assassins who were originally going towards Rococo in the other two directions saw their partners fall into danger, needless to say, they immediately changed their action goals, and used their assault skills to instantly appear next to Gao Nut and Steel Ground Thorn. The natural enemy of the assassin class is always control, and although the others have fierce firepower, they lack control due to the characteristics of the class, so that the two melee classes that are good at control cannot get close to their companions, which can be regarded as pulling people back from the brink of hanging up.
Sure enough, just as the Ice Shooter and Flash Bubble were about to gather fire and kill one of them first, the assassin they were targeting suddenly activated several special skills in succession, removing the negative effects on his body, and at the same time, he quickly retreated backwards in a strange posture as if he had been ejected.
Although a master like them doesn't dare to say that compared with Muyun Xinghe, at least they will have their own unique special skills and life-saving skills, but even so, it is obvious that after using up the stealth and strong concealment and the two life-saving skills, although this assassin survived, he obviously won't have much combat power in the next battle.
Seeing that their companions were out of trouble, the two who came to the rescue did not want to fight and immediately wanted to retreat, the situation was obviously a little different from what they expected, not only the longbow girl was very strong, but even the other members of the team showed abilities beyond their expectations. The cooperation of several ranged professions instantly abolished their companions, and the two melee battles with them in a short period of time and a few rounds, the steel ground thorn level had to rely on the support of the priest sunflower behind him, but Gao Nut was in turn pressing the elite assassins on the side of Mu Tianxia, and even gave him a sense of oppression that did not lose to those core elite shield battle players in the guild, including the fearless iron heart.
Fortunately, at this time, seeing that the three Thunder Knife who had already started the battle and could not retreat, also followed, in addition to the Thunder Knife, the two assassins did not say a word, one rushed over to attack the high nut, and the other bypassed the high nut and the steel ground thorn and rushed directly towards the side of the ice archer who did not have a melee in front of him, with these two Mu Tianxia assassins who were already ready to go all out as soon as they came up, the situation of the team members became tense again.
