57. The so-called courage

"It's like a brush with death."

The bronze tiger sits in the snow with its back against a stout alpine fir.

He remembered that Leo was only three hundred meters above the ground, and the umbrella bag on his back was pulled open, like a black flower that suddenly bloomed.

That scene still stays in Tonghu's mind.

After that, Leo drew his paratrooper knife, cut the rope cleanly, and landed firmly on the ground, completing this thrilling low-altitude skydive.

From the time of opening the parachute to the choice of the landing site, as well as the action of landing, there is basically nothing wrong with it.

"We have forty minutes left, and given our stamina and travel speed, it will take about half the time to reach the true lair of the Assassin League through this dense forest."

Leo looked at the steep cliff in the distance, which, according to information revealed by Nissa and Alpha, was Nandarbat, the stronghold of the Assassin Alliance.

Even if the ninja master who usually sits in the town is not there, there are at least nearly two hundred elite warriors hidden in the demonic lair hidden in the mountains.

They are highly trained, highly qualified, proficient in martial arts and killing, and one in six of them are Shadow Warriors.

Those fanatical believers, hand-picked by the ninja masters, are absolutely loyal to the League of Assassins.

If there are only three people, if you want to kill in and out, and retreat with your whole body, it is undoubtedly like a fantasy.

Even Nissa, who was overwhelmed by fear, believed that Leo would not return alive unless he could lead an army to attack the lair of the Assassin League.

"Can it really be successful? Are we swaggering in? ”

A hint of hesitation rose in Ms. Siva's heart, and she knew that Leo had come to this point in large part because of herself.

With this man's character, he will not rashly set up powerful enemies before he really grows up.

Challenging the Master Ninja and the Assassin Alliance he led was an unwise decision.

It wasn't like something Leo could have done.

"Do we choose to retreat when we are only one step away from success? This is not the Sandra I know. ”

Leo had a smile on his face, and he understood what Lady Siwa meant.

Maybe before he can really be on an equal footing with those superheroes and villains, he should maintain a low-key and cautious style of doing things like he used to, develop and grow silently, and scavenge all the favorable resources he can get.

That sounds like the best thing to do.

"Sometimes I have to stand up, can I still hide behind the scenes for the rest of my life? Sandra, I've always been proud that I have a cool head, but I'm even more proud of my courage. ”

Leo held the soft and lovely oriental face, and said word by word: "If I don't even have the courage to face a strong enemy and challenge a strong enemy, then I am just a cowardly soft-egg, a careerist who carefully plots a conspiracy, how is such a person qualified to stand in front of those superheroes?" ”

His chest heaved as he breathed, and cold air swooped into his nose like a knife and into his lungs.

At this time, Leo's gentle and kind young face showed a hard line.

"Hurry up and keep up! Hopefully, the League of Assassins will enjoy a surprise visit like ours. ”

Looking at Leo's running figure, Ms. Siva, who had always been vigorous and resolute, was a little stunned, and her legs seemed to have taken root on the ground.

"Now that he's going to hell, I'm afraid you'll catch up with him too, so get rid of the distractions in your mind!"

The bronze tiger, who witnessed the scene just now, patted his junior sister on the shoulder.

Although the black martial artist was caught off guard and was fed dog food, he expressed his appreciation for the young chief's words.

Courage and faith, these emotions are what really make human beings strong.

…………

The base camp of the Assassin League is not actually the eerie cave or dark castle that people imagine.

This so-called demon's lair is a complex of buildings embedded in a steep cliff, like a beast that roams the mountains, defending the territory with a scrutinizing eye.

The perimeter is a hidden cordon with advanced anti-aircraft missile systems, while the firing stacks and sentry posts built inside the hill protect almost the entire South Darbat.

The members of the League of Assassins, although they are good at using cold weapons, are not averse to hot weapons, and they pay attention to efficient killing, not almost stupid stubbornness!

It's just that the ninja masters often teach that guns can make people lose their vigilance and have a keen sense of danger.

And those cold weapons that once shined in the history of human warfare can temper the user's body and strengthen their spirit and strength.

As such, the League of Assassins has continued the ancient tradition of using swords, bows, and crossbows as a way to prove themselves to be worthy warriors.

Inside the hill is a lavish palace with a strong Middle Eastern style, with walls and columns covered with repetitive and rhythmic patterns, and flaming standing braziers around it to dispel the darkness of the main hall.

"When is the Master Ninja going to return?"

A strong man with his hands behind his back looked at the shadow warrior who was half-kneeling on the ground.

He is like a majestic mountain, full of oppression and power.

The muscles on those thick and strong arms were as hard as boulders.

This man's name was David Kane, who was once known as the world's top killer and a prominent figure in the League of Assassins.

"The ninja master said that the successor he had chosen was about to undergo one final test and would return to Nandarbat."

The Shadow Warrior replied respectfully.

Normally, when the ninja master travels, most of the power of the Assassin League is in the hands of David Kane.

"The final test? It was just a simple choice, and it seems that I would like to congratulate the ninja master in advance on the harvest of a satisfactory successor. ”

David Kane nodded, waving for the Shadow Warrior to step back.

A smile appeared on his face, and when the Master Ninja returned to Nandarbat, he would be able to leave the place.

In fact, the world's top killers, the top of the League of Assassins, have no interest in power.

In David Kane's mind, his goal is to produce the most perfect assassin possible!

To this end, he did not hesitate to travel all over the world, looking for talented martial artists to fulfill this wish!

And just a few months ago, David Kane found a pair of sisters who showed incredible talent.

Especially my sister, as if she was born to pursue martial arts, that kind of focus and purity without distractions made David Kane ecstatic.

"A truly beautiful work of art will only be a one-of-a-kind piece!"

David Kane muttered softly as he killed one of the sisters with his own hands.

Between the two sisters, this strong man, who once stood at the pinnacle of the world's killers, chose his sister and killed his sister.

Because the former is more pure, the determination to give up everything in order to chase the ultimate in martial arts makes David Kane feel moved.

As for his dead sister, he didn't care at all, of course there would only be one thing that was perfect.

"Is it Ms. Siva? Don't worry, I'll find you again soon. ”

David Kane's heart was so excited, that it wouldn't be long before he could carve it himself, a one-of-a-kind perfect assassin.

How exciting is that? How exciting?

However, just when David Kane was looking forward to the fulfillment of his lifelong pursuit, a faint voice suddenly sounded, shattering the dream he had dreamed of.

"I'm looking for someone, can you please help me with that?"
