099 Return of the Assassins (4)

Once again, Green encountered the desperate danger of his twenty-year career as an adventurer, but this time, the "Satanic Demon" did not patronize Green.

With a "whoosh", a feathered arrow flew and nailed to Antonio's sword, and the iron arrow burst out with a burst of sparks, accompanied by a piercing sound, the one-handed sword that flashed with yellow sword qi was finally knocked out of the way, narrowly avoiding Green's vital point.

Before Green and Antonio could react, another crossbow arrow flew in, the arrow was extremely fast, and the two people in the field didn't pay attention, and the crossbow arrow rushed straight towards Antonio.

After a whole day of fighting, Antonio also reached the limit of his physical strength, and the whole person's reaction was half a cut slower, plus just now he tried his best to release the last sword qi, but failed to hit with one blow, but was shocked, and the dark arrow mixed behind the first crossbow arrow was not blocked by any and pierced into Antonio's body.

"Poof!" a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Antonio turned his head with difficulty and looked into the distance, his eyes were already dilated, and he could only see a row of nobles in gorgeous costumes in the distance, each holding a giant iron crossbow in the street more than a hundred grams away from here.

Antonio, who was in great pain, roared, broke the crossbow arrow in his chest, and struggled to walk towards the person who shot the dark arrow, but the arrow seemed to be specially made, and the blood at the wound was like no money, flowing loudly, and with every step, Antonio felt that the strength in his body dissipated a little.

As soon as he took a step, another crossbow arrow flew and pierced into Antonio's other chest, Antonio still did not give up, and continued to take a step forward, and the crossbow arrows that kept flying were merciless, and in the blink of an eye, Antonio's body was covered with crossbow arrows.

Antonio, who could no longer speak, fell to his knees with weak knees, his mouth moved, but he still did not make any sound, his head tilted, and he died.

Only then did Green breathe a sigh of relief, and looked up in the direction where the crossbow bolts were flying, and there was a row of Desik guards in military uniform, surrounded by a richly dressed nobleman, who was not tall, and together with several guards around him, he was holding a black iron crossbow with a hideous image (Note 1), not who Archduke Edward was.

"His Royal Highness!", "His Royal Highness!" came a hurried exclamation from behind him, General King, Master Setty, and Earl Norton, who seemed to have finished their affairs, also rushed over, along with a large group of garrison soldiers.

Archduke Edward, who was originally in the "base camp" to handle official business, has been relatively busy recently. In the midst of his busyness, the clerk hurriedly pushed the door in, saying that General Jin, the general of the central garrison, had mobilized about 2,000 garrison soldiers to surround the market area in the east of the city, saying that he wanted to capture some dark magician.

Hearing this, Archduke Edward did not raise any objections. Although he is the supreme military commander of Desik, theoretically all military movements in Desik must be declared to himself. However, General Jin is the garrison general responsible for guarding the imperial capital Baiyan City, and this independent right is still reserved.

Grand Duke Edward didn't care, but continued to handle affairs in the base camp safely, but soon after, he heard a loud shout from the east of the city, "Go, see what's going on?" Archduke Edward ordered, and the soldiers left behind in the base camp hurriedly sent people to the east of the city to observe the situation, and some soldiers climbed the nearby lookout tower.

Before Archduke Edward could figure out the situation, the arc-shaped black shadow appeared in the sky east of the city, and a huge black shadow obscured half of the sky. Soon after the black shadow landed, a huge explosion was heard, and the air wave spread throughout the city, even if it was so far away, Archduke Edward felt a faint pain in his ears.

Archduke Edward, who came back to his senses, immediately decided, "Don't wait, gather all the guards in the base camp, bring the black iron crossbow, and follow me!"

As a result, the garrison guarding the base camp of about 100 people hurried to the east of the city, along with Archduke Edward and his personal warriors of the wasteland (Note 2).

Not long after the crowd had gone out, they heard a commotion ahead, and when they turned the corner, several rows of garrison soldiers were forming a phalanx in front of them, as if they were going to intercept someone. Archduke Edward was not too bold, and rushed to the front with his escort. In the encirclement of the garrison soldiers, there were two people fighting for their lives, one was holding a two-handed sword, waving it vigorously, and the other was carrying a one-handed sword, the tip of the sword spewing yellow sword qi. The two were fighting fiercely, and from time to time they jumped into the air, and the sparks of the two swords rubbing together splashed everywhere.

Grand Duke Edward watched it for a long time, he had read the incident report of the Westside Bridge, combined with General Jin's statement, it seemed that the samurai with the yellow sword qi was their target. Squinting his eyes, Archduke Edward stretched out his hand to ask the guards to hand him the black iron crossbow, silently raised the crossbow arrows, stared at the two people fighting in the field, and at the same time motioned to the guards around him to also load the crossbow arrows.

When Green was almost injured by the flying sword thrown by Antonio, in the flash of lightning, one of the guards may not be able to control it, or maybe he didn't want Green to be harmed, in short, he pressed the black iron crossbow, and the crossbow arrow flew straight towards the flying sword, and then it came, blocking the flying sword and saving Green's life.

Seeing that someone released arrows, several black iron crossbows, including those in the hands of Archduke Edward, were released one after another, and one after another, the crossbow arrows all roared into Antonio's body.

Looking at the dead Antonio, Green was a little stunned, this terrifying assassin who did a lot of evil, since Manning, has caused many murders, and as far as he knows, no less than dozens of people have died at his hands. At this moment, Antonio, who was staring at him, was shot into a hedgehog by a crossbow arrow, and the crossbow arrow pierced his body and headed towards the sky, which was extremely terrifying.

General Kim didn't know when he walked over, "Is that him?" Green knew what he wanted to ask and nodded, "Yes, he was the one who assassinated your Crown Prince Ferdinand and blew up the Bridge over the West." ”

Hearing this answer, General Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!" I didn't know what he meant by "good", and walked towards Archduke Edward's men without looking back. Although the assassin is dead, the aftermath is not easy, after all, it is in such an important place as White Rock City that there is such a big disturbance.

Setie also came to Green's side and took a closer look at the large and small wounds on Green's body, most of which were skin injuries, which were accidentally injured by the sword qi when he was fighting with Antonio. Fortunately, although the sword qi is powerful, the wound that has been burned by the sword qi has a good blood flow. Setie tore off a section of her mage's robe and carefully helped Green bandage it.

Green suddenly asked, "I heard a loud explosion coming from the east of the city, that is, from where you are, did they do it again?"

Setie nodded, "Yes, the same magician, the same magic array, but he's been blown up with that watchtower." Desik suffered heavy losses, and a small group of wasteland warriors were buried with him!"

Green had a sure expression, "Your companion is okay!"

"It's no big deal, Pete and Angelina haven't suffered any damage except for some detachment, just rest for a while. ”

Setie looked up and pointed to the pedestrian in the distance, "What's going on?"

Green whispered, "During the battle, they shot the assassin with a dark arrow, and their crossbow arrows, hey, are so powerful! ”

Setie nodded, "It seems to be General King's boss, I heard them all shouting Duke Edward just now." ”

"Yes, that's right, that's Archduke Edward. Green explained.

"What the hell is going on here?" looked at General Jin approaching, and the calm Grand Duke Edward asked him, "The one with the yellow sword light is not the group of assassins reported by the Western Border Guards before, I heard that the yellow sword light is his specialty." ”

General Jin saluted Archduke Edward, "It's indeed him, that yellow sword light is called sword qi, and the essence is a kind of dark magic." My garrison soldiers have spotted them. ”

Nodding slightly, Archduke Edward then asked, "What happened to the explosion over there just now?"

"One of the dark mages on the other side set off a dark magic array identical to the Westside Bridge, causing a big explosion that blew up a watchtower and a small group of wasteland warriors. ”

"Oh, yes, it's bold to come to White Rock City to do evil!

General Kim owes himself, "I didn't catch the live mouth, and I was already crushed in the explosion." ”

"Hmph, it's cheap!" said Grand Duke Edward, but General Jin always felt that Grand Duke Edward's expression seemed to be a little lighter, but he didn't think much about it, maybe he didn't cause a bigger crisis in White Rock City, and he was also relieved.

The aftermath was naturally left to General Kim's garrison, including cleaning up the debris after the explosion, and recovering the remains of terrified civilians and fallen soldiers, although the small group of wasteland warriors who suffered the most losses were largely gone.

After General King finished talking with Archduke Edward, he handed over the follow-up work to the two deputy battalion generals, and took Earl Norton, Green, and Setie back to the place where Earl Norton came.

A group of people did not seem to have recovered from the conflict just now, and along the way, no one spoke up. It wasn't until he sat down and rested for a long time that Earl Norton broke the silence, "On the bright side, we crushed the conspiracy of the Dark Rising in White Rock City, no matter what their plot is, I believe they didn't come here casually. ”

"Of course," continued the Earl of Norton, "we also have a great loss, namely, that our thread may be broken again. ”

"No!" the silent Green interrupted Earl Norton, "Dark Rising moves so often, I'm sure they won't stop." The more they do, the more we can grab their handles. ”

Outside Baiyan City, a group of merchants stayed at the gate of the city, the city gate had been closed, everyone was asking the soldiers guarding the city what was going on in the city, and the two people in the team felt the violent agitation of the magic elements in the air, and there was a trace of worry in their hearts.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow in an arc appeared in the air, and the merchants all cried out in horror, "Oh no!" one of the two whispered.

Note 1: The Black Iron Crossbow is a small crossbow unique to Desik, with a slightly shorter range than a bow and arrow, but more powerful. The main material is black iron, and the shape is often made into a hideous shape unique to Desik.

Note 2: As a member of the royal family, like his brother former crown prince, Grand Duke Edward will have the Wasteland Samurai by his side to protect his safety.
