91.Chapter 91
The fat assassin almost crawled to the stone stomp at the monastery gate, and only after confirming that he was safe did he gasp and look at his arm in horror...
A long, cut wound suddenly appeared on his arm, bleeding heavily—just a few seconds earlier, an arrow had nearly pierced his arm, and if it hadn't been for the change of direction to dodge the arrow, the sword that stabbed the Templar guard would not have missed and not stabbed the heart!
The assassination team of the three, the main role of this fat man is to "respond" and "cover" - the strongest of the three is the assassin who has rushed to the monastery, and this fat man and his companions are more for "mending the knife", today the monastery guards are almost completely emptied, and the defense force is unprecedentedly weak, such an opportunity is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to fail... But at this time, his mood fell to the bottom, because all his plans were almost interrupted by this sudden cold arrow one after another!
The fat assassin had already seen the warning arrow before, and he had long been vigilant, so he tried to hide behind a few innocent civilians at the beginning of the battle and approached here, and the other party never made a move, which made him relax a little, and did not regard it as an effective threat - but when he attacked the temple guard, he didn't expect that the arrow would be so accurate, and it could even be said that he directly blocked his own attack route!
He would rather believe that it was a coincidence, but after countless lives and deaths, he never believed that there was any "coincidence" in the battle between life and death......
Perhaps, there is a really powerful guy staring here.
"Get out of the way!"
Thinking of this, he didn't worry that the companion who was fighting with the two mercenaries shouted behind the stone stomp as a warning, but the response was only the sound of "ping-pong" weapons colliding, followed by the muffled sound of the blade slashing into the flesh...
This sound made the fat man's heart "chuckle", and he immediately wanted to check what was going on with his back against the stone stomp - he immediately looked out of the stone stomp slightly, but as soon as half of his face poked out, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and a black shadow in his field of vision shot at the same time almost at the same time, and he didn't want to immediately retract his head, but a puddle of blood still splashed out!
"Shhhh
In that moment of lightning, the spinning arrow grazed the fat cheek, almost opening the side of his face!
Because the arrow was constantly rotating in flight, the double-edged arrow directly brought down a large piece of flesh on his face, and the gushing blood instantly covered half of his clothes, and the hot pain made him scream in pain, but he didn't dare to get up directly to retaliate against the other party - because he didn't have a long-range weapon in his hand at all, and he didn't even know where the other party was!
What frightened the fat assassin even more was that the moment he poked his head out, he happened to see the appearance of his companion......
The weapons of the two mercenaries were embedded in the neck and chest of the last assassin, the sharp axes nearly cutting off his head, and the scimitar plunged into the abdomen - a fatal wound that was certain to die.
And the reason for all this came entirely from the long arrow that pierced his thigh... Apparently he had a fatal flaw because of the arrow!
It's the same archer hiding in the shadows again!
"Damn it!"
The fat assassin behind the stone stampe clenched the dagger in his hand, his teeth clenched and endured the pain in his arms and face—he had never faced an archer on such complex terrain...... After so many years of licking blood from the knife edge and completing no less than thirty assassination missions, it should be said that the wounds are well-informed, but it is still unheard of for an archer to bring such a terrible "suppression"!
In the eyes of modern people, it is not the archers who occupy the commanding heights and have deterrent power, but the "snipers" with rifles, but in the era of cold weapons in the Middle Ages, the deterrent power of the "bow" cannot be compared with the rifle at all...... Unless they form an arrow array to shoot in clusters, a skilled assassin will never be afraid of an archer!
But with the right timing to shoot three arrows, not only the assassin, but everyone present - even Ryan and Booker, who witnessed all this not far away, could see how terrible this guy hiding in the shadows really was!
Every time you make a shot, you will inevitably point to the key point, and you will really be "there is no chance of an arrow".
The two mercenaries slashed the assassin who had been hit by the arrow, looked at each other, but understood that the archer hiding in the shadows should be on his side, and immediately chose to rush towards the gate of the monastery, one of them also raised his hand and threw his weapon to the guard who was disarmed and kicked away, and he bent down to pick up a long sword on the ground, and shouted, "Go and help!"
The latter lifted his somewhat crooked helmet, got up and rushed towards the church, trying to find the Assassin who had already stormed the church... But at this moment, there was a scream of "ah" in the antechamber of the church—and then a white figure was seen flying out, tumbling three or four times before falling down the stone steps of the antechamber...
The white robe was torn, and the delicate body fell in front of the church, and when everyone saw that it was Sally, there was a moment of silence in the originally chaotic monastery.
What broke the silence was a large flower pot that fell to the ground in front of the three-story mansion not far away.
The cracking sound made Booker and the others turn their eyes, and then they suddenly saw the figure standing in the shadow of the windowsill - the other party reached out and pushed away the flower pot in front of him that blocked the view and hindered the shooting, and directly raised the short bow in his hand!
At this moment, there were only various questions in everyone's minds, Ryan and the others did not understand why Sally, who had already stormed the church, was sent flying, and the assassin hiding behind the stone stomp did not understand why his only remaining companion did not kill the duke's daughter directly in the house......
Time goes back a minute.
By the time the Assassin outside the monastery had not yet been hacked to death, Sally had already run into the church without stopping - less than half a minute had passed since the bolt had flown against her back, and in that half a minute, she had ordered the monks to assist the guards in an effective counterattack, and for the nuns to seek the help of the priest and the bishop, without the slightest delay, with great efficiency, and without making any wrong choices.
When she ran into the church, Sally was actually secretly relieved in her heart, because there were at least four guards on duty in the church on weekdays, and in her expectation, these guards would definitely help her get out of the crisis at this time-
But when she glanced around, her heart was extremely cold for a moment, because there were no guards in the entire church except for a dozen believers who were curiously standing up and looking out......
There is no need for Bishop Benjamin's arrangement of the guards today to inform the nuns of Sally's level, and no one has ever dared to storm the convent, so Sally has no idea about the fact that all the guards have been transferred today - this situation makes Sally even have the illusion that all the convent guards have been bought by Francis!
But time had left her to make any other inferences, and in a flash of thought, she decided to walk through the church to the house at the back, for Bishop Benjamin would certainly be able to provide shelter for himself in addition to the guards—but when she raised her gaze, she saw the road in front of her... It was completely blocked by the believers who got up and walked out.
The seats in the middle of the church are only divided into two areas, the left and right, and in the middle is an aisle that is only one and a half meters wide, if you want to get to the back door of the church, the fastest way to go through this middle passage, otherwise you can only bypass the two sides of these seats - and at this time, the middle road is blocked by five or six believers who got up and walked out, Sally just glanced at it and knew... If you rush over by yourself, I'm afraid you won't have time to cross before you will be caught up by the assassins!
The sound of chasing footsteps behind him was approaching.
Sally knew she didn't have time to hesitate, so she took a deep breath and ran towards the slightly detoured route to the right. As soon as she ran a few steps, she heard a scream from behind her, but Sally didn't look back, but reached out and grabbed the back of the chair to counteract the inertia of the sudden turn of her body, and after confirming that there was no obstacle in front of her, she turned her head and glanced sideways as she ran......
Not far away, a sword light flashed, but it was the assassin who directly slashed the innocent believers who couldn't dodge.
The other party had obviously determined Sally's intention to run at this time, so he took a shortcut and ran away, preparing to block Sally before she ran to the back door of the church. Because of his high rank and strength, he ran significantly faster than Sally, and even onlookers could see that Sally would definitely not be able to outrun the assassin...
Sally was also aware of this, and immediately grabbed the heavy wooden chair, causing her body to stop, and then turned around sharply and ran back towards the front gate where she came - if she continued to run towards the back door, she would definitely die, and at this time she had no choice but to "bet" that the guards at the front gate had solved the crisis and had the strength to save herself...
The Assassin also stopped, his sword in his hand, and although he did not speak, the eyes and murderous look that stared at Sally made it clear who this guy was targeting, so a priest in the church who happened to be there immediately reacted after Chriss's shouts of "help" and "someone assassinated".
This priest's divine cultivation is quite good in the monastery, and from the player's point of view, he is also a guy with a basic level of 10 and an advanced "Holy Priest" level of 2, although he does not have many skills, but he is an advanced priest, so he began to chant prayers as soon as possible, and successfully cast the magic "Light Bondage" when the assassin chased after Sally ten meters behind.
The golden chains condensed from the air, appeared around the Assassin's body, and then tightened in an instant—the Assassin was startled, and his running slowed suddenly, nearly crashing directly into the rows of wooden chairs next to him. However, the "Wandering Swordsman" has a "Battle Stance" with the effect of "increasing the resistance to controlled spells/skills by 15%", so the "Light Bondage", which is only level 1, just flickered on him, and then he was supported by his arms and "snapped" to break free!
Turning his head to look at the priest, the assassin didn't bother at all, and continued to chase Sally—apparently he knew that the priest was no threat to him, so he chose to kill Sally first!
He took a few big steps, his body speeding up suddenly, and in an instant he caught up with Sally who was running desperately ahead. Facing the "prey" in front of him, who was no longer able to resist, he swung his sword and swept away, and was about to cut Sally into two pieces, but when the blade was still thirty centimeters away from Sally, a golden shield suddenly blocked her side...
"Holy Shield!"
"Give me death—"
The priest uttered the name of the defensive magic, but the Assassin shouted the first words he had once he entered the church, and the subsequent slash struck Sally with no mistake or angle......
"Phew!"
The golden light flickered, and after absorbing 180 damage, the level 1 "Holy Shield" turned into a shard that disappeared into the air, and immediately after, the assassin's sword struck Sally's back......
Even though the power of the shield was reduced, the force of the blade was still not something Sally could resist, and she involuntarily screamed, and her whole body flew out sideways, falling straight down the steps in front of the church.
The corners of the killer's mouth in the church were already slightly upturned, and he believed that after Sally took this sword, even if she didn't die, she would definitely end up with serious injuries that would be difficult to heal - walking out of the church with confident steps, but the confidence on his face was immediately replaced by astonishment...
The companion outside the monastery gate actually fell in a pool of blood, while the other was hiding behind a stone stomp like a mouse, his face and body covered in blood!
"What's going on?
He didn't finish his words, but his eyes widened violently!
Because not far in front of him, Sally actually reached out to support her body and stood up unscathed.
