Chapter 33: What is Wushuang (Tactical Backwards)
The main task is completed, in order to hurry, Lu Xiao's next actions do not need to be so cautious.
Judging from the height of the passage on the upper floor of the library, it is likely that it is one of the countless towers in the city, and once the collection of the Assassin's Tomb is completed, Lu Xiao can quickly escape the pursuit of enemies that may exist in the rear with the help of the Leap of Faith.
Returning to the library from the skylight, Lu Xiao stood on the beam and took off the transformed short bow on his back, and first aimed at the three guards who were farthest away from him.
"Whoosh!"
Three arrows fired in succession, and with the blessing of dynamic vision, the arrows accurately hit the foreheads of the three people, and their brains were penetrated, so that they fell to the ground with a muffled sound before they even let out the last scream.
Before the other guards could react, Lu Xiao kept shooting, according to the principle of from far to near, shooting out the guards who were directly exposed in his shooting angle one by one.
One after another, his companions fell from arrows, which naturally alerted the remaining guards.
One of the guards, dressed only in light leather armor, ran out at the behest of his superiors, ready to run outside the door to sound the alarm and call for backup.
"Whoosh!"
Before the herald could reach the gate, Lu Xiao's powerful arrow pierced through his leather helmet-wearing head.
The remaining guards finally captured Lu Xiao's location with this arrow, and one by one they hid behind the nearest bookshelf to avoid being sniped.
Taking advantage of the fact that the guards were blocking their view behind the bookshelf, Lu Xiao deftly jumped forward on the beam.
As several guards cautiously poked their heads out from behind the bookshelves, arrows shot from the other side hit their heads again.
Since this was a stealth operation, it was inconvenient for Lu Xiao to put too many arrows in his quiver so as not to hinder his operation.
After shooting ten guards, he ran out of arrows in reserve, and there were only six enemies left in the library who were hiding behind the bookshelves like frightened birds.
"Huh!"
Lu Xiao caught a trembling guard from above, threw out his Hidden Blade and jumped down from a height, simply and neatly "soothed" his fear.
"Here!"
A guard in the rear spotted Lu Xiao's traces, and warned his companions in a nervous voice, while raising his long sword high, intending to attack Lu Xiao's back while he was unprepared.
Lu Xiao had actually memorized the opponent's position by heart long before launching the assassination attempt, and the guard who thought he had succeeded was facing a vicious attack like a scorpion swinging its tail.
The blade of the ejected boot cut a snowy silver light from the bottom to the top, and a thin red line was cut from the guard's chest to his forehead.
The glazed-eyed guard dropped his weapon with a thud, and bewitching red blood shot out as he fell to the ground.
The other four guards had just bypassed the bookshelf where they were hiding, and they happened to see the scene of their companion being brutally killed, and the blood flowers flying in the sky had different mental effects on the four of them.
One of them cowered and stopped, turning around to turn around and run away.
Lu Xiao threw the prepared flying knife from the inside of the armor where the Hidden Blade was hidden, and plunged it into the back of the guard's head before he fled.
The two guards who rushed to the front had already bravely raised their weapons and launched an attack on Lu Xiao with a desperate momentum, and they also let out a roar like killing pigs.
The last guard didn't turn to run away, but his pace slowed significantly, apparently in hesitation.
"Bell~"
The Hidden Blades of both hands popped out, and with their increased agility, the last to strike first pressed sideways on the two men's weapons, deflecting their attacks with soft force, causing the two guards' swords to slash at each other.
At the same time, Lu Xiao's hands retracted slightly, and after pulling away a short distance, he exerted his strength again, and at the same time stabbed into the front of the necks of the two people who were caught off guard.
"Evil ...... Devil! ”
The guard who fell behind saw that all his companions were killed in just half a minute, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse, and he sat on the ground with tears in his eyes, moving his body with difficulty, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from Lu Xiao, who was stained with blood on his robe.
Lu Xiao would not have any sympathy and pity for the enemy when he was on a mission, and the sound of hurried footsteps from the tower above the library was also a wake-up call to him at all times, and the battle was not over yet.
"Boom!"
The blood-stained Hidden Blade mercilessly pierced the neck of the last enemy, and Lu Xiao increased the frequency of his movements, quietly hiding in the shadows where the upstairs guards had to go downstairs.
"Whew~"
After a round of intense activities, Lu Xiao's physical exertion was also relatively large, and he took this opportunity to use Mario's previous teaching of breathing methods to try to smooth out his rapid breathing.
"What's going on down there? Julio? Page...... Belch! ”
The first babbling tower guard was pulled into the shadows by Lu Xiao and killed, except for a few archers who stood on a high place and vigilantly aimed their bows downward, almost all the guards who passed through the stairs in front and behind were killed by Lu Xiao in a similar way.
The Hidden Blade is thin and sharp, and is very useful in silent assassinations, often killing enemies invisibly.
However, compared to conventional weapons, the Hidden Blade's ability to sustain combat is greatly limited.
Breaking through the armor and killing many people in a row, the blades of Lu Xiao's hidden blades in both hands were worn to varying degrees, and when he recently assassinated a guard, he even let out a scream in the struggle, disturbing the archers on the tower who didn't know what was going on below.
'No way. ’
Retracting the heavily dulled Hidden Blade, Lu Xiaomao walked between the bookshelves with his waist bent, trying to collect the remaining arrows from the corpses he shot in between.
Three of the ten arrows were too far away to be recovered, and three were worn out and could not be used again.
'Four? It should be enough. ’
Judging by the footsteps and interactions between the upstairs, there should have been no more than five finishes left in the entire library and the Assassin Crypt, three of which were archers waiting to snipe upstairs.
'Sniper in the middle door?' Then come on. ’
Taking off his blood-stained assassin robes and placing them on a corpse, Lu Xiao poked the corpse's head out from behind the bookshelf, and himself observed the position of the three archers through the faint gap between the two rows of bookshelves.
"Whoosh!"
Sure enough, as the hooded corpse showed its head, three arrows hit him in the head with precision.
When the three archers who thought they were successful noticed that something was wrong, Lu Xiao's counter-attack was already aimed at them.
"Ugh!"
"Ahh
"Hmm!"
Three archers were hit by arrows one after another, two of them were killed on the spot, and the last one was only shot in the left arm because of the wear and tear of Lu Xiao's arrows, and he hurriedly threw down his bow and arrows and hid back behind the bunker.
Although he failed to shoot the three people successfully, Lu Xiao's goal of removing the other party's long-range threat was achieved.
Untied the robe from the corpse, Lu Xiao put on the piercing man with three holes in the hood again, and walked out of the hiding place openly.
Lu Xiao, who was not wearing a hood, deliberately showed a wanton smile on his face, standing in the silent library full of corpses, and opened his hands to provoke the remaining three guards.
"Come, Templars, I give you a chance to kill me."
