Chapter 743: Assassination (I)

Early in the morning, slightly cold, dense fog.

In the white mist, a group of cavalry walked out of the side gate on the east side of the city of Eternal Night in a neat queue, led by the two Divine Guards of the Night.

The two guards were wearing delicate black leather scale armor, with two scimitars crossed together in the chest embroidery on the front of the scales, and their weapons were also different, the one on the left held a spear, and the one on the right held a scimitar.

Behind the two men was a group of thirty crossbow cavalrymen, each with a steel crossbow in their hands, and they had already wound it, and in the event of an accident, twenty of them would react in an instant, raining arrows on their target.

The crossbow attacks extremely fast and powerfully, it can penetrate heavy armor within thirty steps, plus the numerical advantage, under the salvo, even a master like the Martial Saint will not be able to get close, and will definitely be shot on the spot.

After the ballista was Sandru.

Sandru is good at strategy, but his martial arts talent is average, although thanks to the nourishment of the Night Queen's divine body, his body is very strong, but his martial arts cultivation is not good, and now, his combat power is only comparable to that of ordinary overlord-level masters, and there is no comparison with the true god at all.

He also knows his shortcomings, and since his martial arts are not good, he should focus on defense.

So Sandru was wearing a full set of divine iron armor, wrapped tightly from head to toe, leaving almost no gaps. This armor is the forging experience of many divine craftsmen in the Night Kingdom, and it is created with a large number of precious materials, which is extremely strong, even if the overlord-level powerhouse charges through it with a cavalry spear, it can be defended, at most it is slightly deformed.

His war horse is not simple, this horse is the king of horses in the unique galloping thunder horses in the north, and the quality is already excellent. After the smelting of the blood of the Queen of the Night. The end is not a worldly god horse. Running wildly, like wind and lightning, because the hair of this war horse is as red as blood, it is called 'blood shadow'.

Blood Shadow Horse, Divine Iron Battle Armor, Eight Night Divine Guards, and a large number of strong crossbow cavalry, such a lineup. Even if the Queen of the Night comes, she can't break in, so she can only kill in a roundabout way.

Because of this strong defense, Sandru was always unharmed, although he was often attacked by the Assassins.

However, I don't know why, as soon as Sandru left the city today, he couldn't help but shiver and felt a little cold.

He turned his head to look around, and the fog was thick, and the figure of the guard was faint. In the distance, there is a white expanse. A cold wind blew just over, and the white mist flowed slowly, showing the slightest traces, and Sandru felt a clearer coolness.

'It's really sad to live a comfortable life, I have only been in the palace for less than three days, and when I am blown by this cold wind, I will feel cold! Sandru sighed.

He, who had seen a big scene, would become lazy in a short period of time, let alone the soldiers, and Sandru felt that it was necessary for him to increase the frequency of his patrols around the barracks in the future.

The cavalry continued to walk outside the city, and the barracks were three miles outside the city, and at this speed, it would take less than ten minutes to arrive.

Although it was very early in the morning, there were already a lot of early risers on the roads outside the city, most of them were farmers from outside the city who went to the city of eternal night to sell vegetables, there were also travelers who slept outside the city because they didn't have time to enter the city because the city gate was closed yesterday, and some were just some messy guys, such as rangers and the like.

These people are not very strong, they are not a threat to the cavalry at all, as long as they keep a certain distance from the cavalry, the soldiers will not be nosy, and if they do something, the patrol soldiers in the city will naturally skin them.

Just like this, about halfway through, Sandru saw a ranger trotting in front of him, because of the fog, he could only see a vague black shadow at first, and only when the ranger ran closer, Sandru saw more details.

The Ranger was armed with a gun, and the horse under his crotch looked very tall, but his coat was mixed and dirty, and his hooves were covered with mud, and the Ranger wore an ordinary wolfskin jacket with a spear tucked behind his back and a rust-proof holster wrapped around the tip of the gun.

The ranger also saw the cavalry, and he reacted like everyone else on the road, first stunned for a moment, then grabbed the horse, and took the initiative to let him stand more than thirty meters away from the roadside, patiently waiting for the cavalry to pass.

A very ordinary ranger, he still uses a spear, and Rollin uses a sword, in this world, if there is really someone who can pose a threat to him at this time, it is only Rollin, this person cannot be Rollin, he is relieved.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to look ahead of the road.

The soldiers around him just glanced at the roadside ranger casually, and then they all withdrew their gaze, they were very experienced in combat, they were all veterans, they didn't feel the slightest hostility from this ranger, so they didn't have too much vigilance in their hearts.

"Gotta get it~" The horses' hooves of the cavalry rang out regularly, and the team moved unhurriedly towards the barracks, as if everything was normal.

As the clock ticked by, Sandru and his guards moved forward unhurriedly, slowly approaching the ranger standing by the side of the road, who was still standing motionless, his eyes looking at the ground, a look of humility and respect.

But as the distance approached, the fog barrier became weaker and weaker, and Sandru saw more.

He suddenly felt that this ranger brought him an indescribable familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere, so he looked closely, and the other man's hair was scattered, very dirty and messy, and there were condensed dew drops and a few dead grass stalks on it, and his face could not be seen clearly, and he could only see that it was stained with dust, and it looked gray.

This is also normal, it is absolutely normal for anyone who travels long distances to be covered in dust, and in fact, several rangers around are also about the same virtue.

After careful observation, he was still just an ordinary ranger, and although the doubts in Sandru's heart had not completely disappeared, there was only the last trace left.

The distance between the two sides continued to approach, and after more than ten seconds, Sandru was less than forty meters away from the ranger. It was a safe distance for Sandru, who was under the protection of the crossbow array, so although he had doubts in his heart, he did not raise his vigilance.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of unusually rapid horses' hooves in the white fog ahead, the horse's hooves were fast and heavy, 'bang bang' like a war drum beating the earth, this horse is rushing head-on, the closer the distance, the more rapid the sound of the horse's hooves, and finally it is connected into a piece, as soon as you hear this sound, you know that this is a very rare good horse.

After a few seconds, a knight's dark shadow appeared in front of him, and through the mist, he could see that the knight was holding a sword or knife or other weapon in his hand, and he rushed over with great momentum, and the speed was incredible, not giving people time to think at all.

"Enemy attack! Defense! The Night Guard at the front immediately roared.

"Ha~" The cavalry roared in unison, and in an instant, the swords and guns came out of the battle, the strong crossbows turned, and the shield cavalry all surrounded Sandru, and a steel fortress was cast with heavy shields, and Sandru was surrounded in the middle to protect it.

In the shield array, Sandru was safe, but at the same time, the shields and guards blocked his view, so that he could not get the information about his surroundings in the first place.

"Bang Bang~" The war horse in front of him was still approaching rapidly, and in just a moment, it was already fifty meters away, and although the figure of the knight on horseback was still blurred, it could be clearly seen that he had made an attack posture.

When the opponent's distance reached the best attack distance of the steel crossbow, the Night Guardian suddenly roared: "Prepare to release the arrow!" ”

"Collapse collapse collapse ~" The strings of the steel crossbow sounded, and thirty crossbow arrows rushed towards the approaching knight like flying locusts, and after a moment, there was a chaotic sound of 'puff puff', and it can be seen that most of the crossbow arrows hit the target, some of them hit the war horse, and some of them hit the knight on the horse.

According to common sense, after such a terrible attack, and most of them were hit, there should be no master in this world who can be unharmed, not even the Queen of the Night.

But what was happening in front of him was completely beyond the comprehension of the cavalry, and instead of stopping, the black shadow rushed faster, and he didn't even try to block the crossbow arrows, but just rushed forward with his weapon raised.

"What's going on?"

"Is it in sturdy armor?"

The eyes of the cavalry widened, and at this time, the opposing knights were already about to rush to the front, and although the spear-wielding guard at the front was also full of doubts, he still urged his horse to meet him.

As a guard, he had to block the guy's onslaught.

In just a second, the divine guard arrived in front of the attacking knight, and this time, he finally saw the truth clearly.

The front chest and face of this war horse are covered with thick cowhide, the cowhide is bulging, and a large amount of cotton wool should be stuffed inside, and the crossbow arrow shot into the cowhide, which shot through, but the momentum is extinct, and it has not been able to bring any damage to the war horse, so the war horse can keep rushing forward.

The guard was horrified by the sword-wielding knight on horseback. Where is this a real person, this is simply a grass-tied dummy, and what he is holding in his hand is not a weapon, just a branch.

There were at least a dozen crossbow arrows stuck deep in the body of this dummy, but for such a scarecrow, even if 10,000 arrows were inserted, what could it do?

"Not good! Fall for your opponent's poisonous scheme! ”

In an instant, the guard reacted, he swept the dummy on horseback to the ground with a single shot, and then looked left and right, looking for the real assassin, and as he searched, he shouted: "Watch out for the assassin!" ”

The time was too short, he shouted in a hurry, and he didn't have time to explain more, which led to ambiguity.

The cavalrymen standing in the rear only saw him sweep the assassin off his horse with one shot, but this guy obviously defeated his opponent, why did he shout to be careful of the assassin? What does this mean? Hasn't the Assassin already been killed by him?

Sandru in the cavalry group was also strange, he was about to speak, suddenly, he felt a fierce killing force appear from the side, and turned his head to see that the ranger who had been repeatedly looked at by him before was rushing towards him at an unimaginable speed.

In an instant, he recognized his opponent's true identity: 'Lorin, God of War! ’

His heart suddenly became cold, and he only felt like he was falling into an ice cave. (To be continued.) )
