183. Listen to the voice
At the top of the castle was a circular platform, and the soldiers patrolling on it were stunned for a moment when they saw the UFO man landing, and then they remembered their guard duties, and immediately shouted at each other and raised their halberds in their hands and rushed over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The night owl lowered its body, its muscles tense, like a beast ready to attack at any moment, and it was on full alert.
He glanced at the Duke's Palace guards at the top of the castle, there were exactly ten of them, and the formation was loosely surrounding him from the four corners of the top of the castle.
He also noticed that the staircase leading from the top platform to the lower level of the castle was below the top spire.
The top space of the Ducal Palace Castle is narrow, which is quite unfavorable for night owls, and it is easy to be surrounded by guards in front and behind.
Before the guards could complete the encirclement, he rushed to break through in the direction where the staircase mouth was.
The Hidden Blade shrunk in its wrist armor popped out, and the Night Stalker sprinted towards a castle guard who had carefully approached with a halberd in hand.
These castle guards are about the same strength as the patrol soldiers in Fiordland, except for the weapons they wield, and the castle guards' halberds have an advantage in attack range compared to the patrols' swords.
To solve them, you have to be close to them at a faster pace.
It may be that the posture of the night owl falling from the sky just now was too shocking, and the castle guard showed a little fear of him, seeing the night owl approaching him, his hands trembled a little and held the halberd, and he hesitated to stand in place and did not dare to attack.
The night owl was not polite to him, and took the lead in attacking, and the white-clothed assassin Roy swept straight towards the guards who stood in the way like an arrow from a string.
The distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, and Level 4 'General Training' greatly increased Roy's movement speed, and it took him less than two breaths to get close to the castle guard.
By the time the castle guard could react, the Night Stalker had already rushed past the halberd's range, pressing one hand on the guard's hand to draw his sword, and the Hidden Blade in the other hand stabbed the opponent's jaw from the bottom to the top like lightning.
Forehead......
The guard's whole body was slightly raised by the sword that poked into his chin, his eyes widened, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
The Night Stalker drew his Hidden Blade back, and the Death Castle Guardian slipped to the ground like mud with his legs limp.
When the rest of the guards saw that their companion had been killed, they all shouted angrily, and no longer hesitated, and rushed forward with their halberds to take down the night owl.
The night owl snatched the halberd from the guards of the Castle of Death, and swept it around towards the guards who came closer.
The guards, who did not dare to risk their lives when they saw their companions die violently, had to stop in unison and retreat some distance to avoid the halberd sweep.
Seizing this gap, the night owl threw away the halberd in his hand, turned and ran quickly towards the staircase.
After a quick and easy downing of two castle guards who were not afraid to pounce on him, the Night Stalker finally stepped onto the castle staircase that spiraled downward.
But he had barely descended a few steps, and on the downward staircase, three castle guards rushed up from the floor below, shouting and drawing their swords like wolves to slay the night owl.
The night owl raised his eyebrows, and with the help of the momentum of running down, he jumped up, and his feet strangely stepped on the staircase wall like a dragonfly in a few steps, and the whole person was half-leaning to the side, and while lightly passing over the heads of the guards, his hands were linked, and the three guards were accurately hit by a sword in their necks.
The castle guards screamed and fell around their necks, rolling up the stairs in a chaotic mess.
The Night Stalkers took the opportunity to bypass the guards and rushed to the next floor of the castle before the pursuers behind them could catch up.
……
This is the third floor of the castle, and from the staircase there is a wide corridor for five people in parallel, with rooms on both sides.
The hallway was empty at the moment, and the castle guards on duty here were probably the three unlucky ones who had just rushed up the stairs but were knocked down by a flying stab from the night owl.
As soon as the night owl found a room and went in, there was a shouting and scolding sound from his pursuers.
He glanced back at the room he had entered, it was a bedroom, in the center of the room was a fine wooden bed, and on the wall facing the door, a window was open, through which he could see the sea and the sky outside.
As the shouts of the pursuers outside drew closer, the night owl stopped and immediately rushed to the open window, climbed onto the windowsill, and hid outside.
As the second highest altitude in Fiordland, the height of Duke's Court Castle is about fifty meters, and if you don't stand firm and fall from this height, if you don't fall from this height, even if you don't fall from the coastal cliffs, it is estimated that it will not be much better, and it is certain to leave the game early.
The night owl carefully stood firm by the edge of the window, half of his feet already hanging outside, and the whole person stood firmly against the wall like a gecko.
Almost as soon as he was hiding, the door to the room was opened by the pursuers, who rushed in.
The night owl closed his eyes and listened, and several large and small echo circles immediately appeared in his vision, and the footsteps of his pursuers became louder.
This is the ability he acquired by taking time out of the Assassin's den to go to the Assassin's den and spend 200 training points before heading to the top of the cliff.
This ability allowed the Assassin Roy to determine the approximate location of the person making the sound based on his voice alone.
By identifying the size of the echo coil, it can be used to determine the distance of the target, and when the guards outside are within four or five meters of Roy, the echo circle will directly appear as the general outline of the person making the sound.
Two echo circles gradually enlarged in the night owl's line of sight, and then there was a clear sound of the door opening the door, and a castle guard had entered the room to search.
At this point, the distance between the night owl and the two castle guards became very close, and it was not difficult to see from the circle of light in the line of sight to the outline of the guard's body.
"Damn assassin, I'm going to have to skin him and cramp him if I catch him!"
"Yes, he dares to openly provoke the Duke's Palace, I think he is impatient."
The angry conversation of the two guards who entered the room was clearly heard in the night owl's ears, and then the sound of the cabinet door being heard open.
Seeing one of the guards walking towards the window, the night owl secretly raised the weapon in his hand, and if the other man poked his head out of the window, he would definitely be able to stab him in the throat with a sword.
Unfortunately, the guard only stood at the window for a moment, with no intention of looking out the window.
He also stretched, turned back to his companion and said, "Alright, he's not in this room, let's go back and pay to the chief." ”
Then the two guards pushed the door open and left.
The Night Stalker continued to stand on the window edge for a few moments, and when he felt completely safe, he turned around and jumped back into the room.
Leaving the hiding room and heading out into the hallway, which was empty, the small group of castle guards should have returned to the top of the castle to keep watch after searching to no avail.
The Night Stalker used his voice as he continued down the stairs at the end of the hallway.
After successfully evading several patrolling guards inside the castle, the Night Stalker managed to find a staircase to the next floor.
When he used the 'Listening Position' at the top of the staircase, a large echo circle jumped out in the middle of the staircase.
The night owl goes a short distance down, and when it gets close to the 5-meter range, the echo circle automatically becomes the general outline of the figure.
The silhouette of the man standing in the middle of the staircase was not the rounded form of an ordinary person, but very angular, as if he was wearing some strange clothes on the surface.
At the sight of this silhouette, the night owl's eyes narrowed slightly, he already knew what had happened to him.
"That's supposed to be an elite knight under Richard Garriman."
