Taffe walked unhurriedly.

It was already dark. The forest was silent. Only the occasional whistle in his ears reminded him of the location of his companions at the moment.

At the moment, Taaffe is quite satisfied.

In their line of work, it's important to choose a suitable place to start. If the opponent is a difficult target, the crowd in the downtown area is a good cover, but if it is a simpler target, they prefer to kill the opponent quietly without alarming anyone.

By the time the subject left Muni City and passed through the woods, Taaffe had downgraded the target's danger from B to C.

After doing this business for so long, Taaffe has never judged the danger of his prey by his strength level. Rank is dead, talent is alive. If you only know how to practice your fighting spirit and don't know how to improvise in battle, no matter how strong you are, you are just a buffalo surrounded by wolves.

Roy's strength may be good among his peers his age, but when he walks into the woods without noticing, it is almost the equivalent of stepping into a grave.

It is impossible for a mage to survive without the protection of a knight. Especially in such an assassination, with the lame melee methods of the magician, there is not even a chance to make a move.

As soon as they seize the opportunity, the dark mercenaries who cooperate with the tacit understanding will slit his throat before he can utter the first chant note.

And the target's armed four-star fighting strength is really not worth mentioning.

This is not a challenge between a few young cadets who have just embarked on the path of knighthood. It's the hunt of eight seasoned dark mercenaries against a completely unsuspecting hairy boy. Not to mention that the mercenaries have the advantage of numbers and shadows, even if it is a head-to-head duel, Roy cannot be their opponent.

With a few whistles changing tone, Taffeta slanted through a thicket and up a small hill in the woods. He was the last to walk into the woods, but by the whistle of his companions. He can know the location of his target and his companions without looking at them, and choose the most efficient route of travel outside of his line of sight.

Sure enough, as soon as I got up the hill. Roy's figure appeared in front of Taaffe's eyes.

The boy remained defenseless. He walked briskly along a path in the woods to the east. The trail allowed him to skip a large loop around the woods. Just walk another two or three hundred meters and climb over a low pasture fence. He'll be back on the road.

The city of Muni is the heart of Loulian. The city is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city was protected by tall walls. The outer city, on the other hand, is scattered across the wilderness.

The entire outer city consists of eight settlements. Roy went to the East Outer City. Among the eight agglomeration areas, Dongwai District has the smallest population. Beyond the vast farmsteads and pastures are rolling hills and woods.

The whistle in Taffe's ears grew more and more urgent. The companions are communicating with each other with whistles. And the person in charge of the volley had already gone around to the front of the boy.

An encirclement is rapidly forming!

Taaffe calculated the time, and the target would go at most fifty meters, and the encirclement would be complete. There is a small slope fifty meters away. When the target appears on a grassy hillside and descends the path, two companions lurking in the grass will launch the first wave of attacks at the same time.

If nothing else, this wave of attacks can kill this kid.

As an assassin, of course. The dark mercenaries leave no gaps through contempt and negligence. When the volleying companion attacks, the others will immediately dodge out from all sides at the same time, trapping and forming a second wave of attacks to prevent the prey from slipping away. ...,

The whole hunting process will not take more than three seconds.

Watch Roy walk towards the ambush area. Taaffe's heart was already on fire at the thought of the huge reward that was about to arrive. He took the silent whistle in his mouth and blew several syllables of different lengths to make a final assessment of the ambush.

Target hazard range assessment - level C. There is a risk, but the risk factor is low. Although this is a terrifying Dragon Moon Wizard, he is too young. And being young usually means inexperience. As long as the shot is as clean as possible, the opponent will have no chance to counterattack.

Environmental Assessment of Hunting Sites - Level B. It's a temporary choice, not ideal, but it's not bad. It's perfectly possible to make a move.

Assessment of synergy and timing - A level. The brethren seemed to be encouraged by the great pay, and their movements were stealthy and cooperative, and the distance between the interceptor and the besieger was excellent.

Judging by the progress so far, this would be a perfect kill!

After passing on the assessment results, the corners of Taaffe's mouth hooked up a sinister smile, drew his sword, and followed silently. He and another Twin Knife Hunter will be the last insurance against this ambush.

...................

...................

As Taffe's figure jumped down the hill, two black-armored knights appeared like ghosts behind him.

"These dark mercenaries have a lot of experience and good skills. The knight on the left looked at Taaffe's back with a cold gaze and said, "I'm afraid it won't be our turn to make a move this time." ”

"Of course, it's best if it doesn't bother," the knight on the right urged his horse with a faint expression and slowly moved forward, "This is Muni City, and it's not a good thing to alarm the city defense patrol." Fano's Muni City Guard has been struggling to trouble our Fifth Legion lately. ”

The knight on the left smiled slightly, looked at Roy who was walking quickly, and said, "Originally, I thought that this kid would be protected when he went out. didn't expect him to come out alone. And walk in here. I've been here before, and it's surrounded by farms and pastures, far away from it, and there aren't many people. There was nothing in the forest in front of him except an abandoned watchtower, and it seemed that he could not wait for Karenich to come to his rescue. ”

The two knights said as they rode slowly through the shadows of the woods. Their warhorses were apparently specially trained, and every step was taken lightly. Even in the leafy forest, there is not the slightest sound when walking. It feels like a feline.

"He's too young to understand how bad his life will be for the people he offends," said the knight on the right, "but let's not be negligent, at least we'll have to keep an eye on this kid until he dies." To know. His cousin in Medin City is not ordinary. The rabble originally had no chance, but this kid gave the Bavarian Knights a chance to come out......"

He said, looking around. He waved his hand slightly.

With his gesture, more than a dozen knights around him expanded to the left and right. Like a large net, it went in the direction of Roy and the dark mercenaries. In the small and slight sound of horses' hooves, long swords and riding spears emitted a cold light like the scythe of death.

These knights were very skilled in controlling their horses, and not only did they barely make any noise when they were moving, but the speed of the horses and the distance from their targets were kept just right.

The war horse first walked in small steps, and his pace slowly accelerated. The moment Roy walked to the ambush point, the speed warhorse that had already raised his speed would turn small steps into big strides and sprint with all his might. It only took a short time for them to rush to the periphery of the ambush circle. And at that time, it happened to be the end of the first three waves of attacks by the mercenaries.

If the target dies, that's it. And if the target tries to escape, or even tries to escape, it will hit the tip of their knife. ...,

"Your Excellency takes this mission very seriously, and if it fails, you and I can't afford the consequences. The lion fights the rabbit and does his best......" The knight on the right smiled and lowered his helmet mask.

The knight on the left also puts down his mask. And drew his sword one by one.

Eight battle rings silently emerged from their bodies, submerged into the sitting war horses. Excited by the battle ring, the muscles of the two black war horses suddenly swelled, their eyes turned red, and the sinuous veins under their fur bulged high. Even the horse's hooves grew a full circle in an instant.

The two knights lightly stabbed the horse in the abdomen with their boot armor spurs. As the pace of the war horse increased slightly, the bodies of the two of them rose and fell on the horse's back, like a taut bow.

At this time, Roy, who was ignorant of Yiqiē, had already walked to a position less than five meters away from the hillside.

When two sword lights poked out of the grass like poisonous snakes, the figures of the two black-armored knights had already shot out with the war horses.

"Hurry up!"

The silence in the forest was broken by the sword light in the grass, the figures rushing up all around, the sudden sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of loud shouts.

From the air, the jungle centered on Roy looks like a storm has rolled up. The two interceptors pounced from the grass, their swords left and right, straight to Roy's heart and throat. The sword is like lightning. The four besiegers leaped towards Roy from all sides at the same time, sealing off his escape angle.

Outside, Taffe and a Twin Knife Hunter flash at the same time. Behind them, twelve brave knights of the Fifth Legion, four just knights, and two glorious knights in black armor rushed towards them on horses inspired by their fighting spirit like giant beasts, lined up in a concave arc.

Their figures swept between the big trees, the galloping hooves of the war horses roared like thunder, and the huge wind tore the forest leaves, making a loud sound like a torrential rain!

In the blink of an eye, Roy was in a desperate situation!

Looking at the boy's thin figure and the horrified expression on his face, at this moment, there was only a cold and determined cold light in everyone's eyes. Whether it's the two closest volleys, Taffe on the periphery or the two last black-armored knights, he looks like a dead man.

But just when the interceptor's sword was already less than a meter away from Roy, suddenly, a fiery red light lit up from Roy's body, and it turned from a small point like a needle tip into a huge fireball in an instant, illuminating the corners of the young man's sneering mouth and stinging everyone's eyes.

"Fire Dragon Flame Tiger!"

"Hurry back!"

With a loud shout from Taaffe, the mercenaries who flew up flew into the sky.

In front of them, two fire dragons and three flame tigers poked out of the fireball like smiling grim reapers. Two of the fire dragons collided directly with the two interceptors that rushed towards them, shattering their battle rings, igniting their bodies, and turning the two interceptors who were caught off guard directly into two screaming fire men!

The other three flame tigers also swooped down on the besiegers who were desperately trying to dodge.

What's going on?!

The pupils of the two black-armored knights contracted like pinpoints at this moment.

They never dreamed of an ambush that would have been killed. In the last second, there was such an unbelievable change. At this moment, the most eye-catching thing in their field of vision was not the chaotic scene, nor the wandering flames, but the sneer on the young man's face.

"Damn, he already knew!"

The sound of hooves was like thunder. More than a dozen knights of the Fifth Legion urged them to sit down and rushed towards Roy like crazy.

"Stop him!"

.....................

.....................

Roy knew he was being targeted the moment he walked out of the academy gates.

He is not one of those peers who has not been deeply involved in the world. For who you provoked, what kind of retribution you might encounter. He knew it all in his heart. ...,

Therefore, he placed Nita outside the academy.

Nita is a small mastiff among the local ruffians and hooligans, and she is a righteous man. Astute. When Roy first came to Munny, he had dealt with the thugs who bullied Sally and Kylor's mother and daughter in the slums, and Nita watched from the sidelines at the time, and later became a member of the Green Tower Manor.

Although it was difficult for Nita to work on the farm, he was a good hand at some of the miscellaneous tasks of the field. Especially a group of brothers, mixed in the three sects and nine streams, there is nothing they don't know about the big and small things that happened in Muni City.

The Fifth Block was originally the site of Nita's long-term struggling. Up to the officials and nobles, down to the horsemen and coolies. Even every shopkeeper, every shopkeeper, man, he knows it clearly. No single face can escape the eyes of him and his brothers.

This time. It was Nita who noticed the suspicion of these dark mercenaries and made a gesture to Roy as soon as he walked out of the academy gate.

And by the time Roy walked out of the East Gate, he was already sure that the target of those men was himself.

"You want to kill me?!" Roy unleashed a fire dragon and flame tiger, and then leaped to his feet like a lightning falcon. Flying down the hill. The man was still in the air, and a bow had magically appeared in his hand. Without saying a word, raising your hand is three arrows.

Whoosh. Three white-tailed feather arrows slashed through the void like ghosts, nailing a dark mercenary who had just taken off the Flame Tiger's attack to the tree.

Taffe's eyes are split!

Magicians are easy to kill, when the opponent is defenseless and the magic is released slowly. Once at this stage, the mage's weak body, slow movement, and negligible fighting ability are no different from a rabbit to the knight.

However, once the magician had prepared in advance, things were completely different. Even knights who were a few ranks higher than the mage did not dare to provoke the mage when he was ready to unleash his magic. Don't even dare to bump into the magic at the moment when the magic is cast!

A magician ready to unleash magic is far more terrifying than a hundred knights!

And Taaffe never dreamed that at the moment when the attack was launched, this kid who seemed to have no defense at all actually released a seventh-level Fire Dragon Flame Tiger without warning!

At this moment, Taaff only felt a chill penetrate directly into the bone marrow.

He didn't have many magicians he had assassinated, but there were seven or eight. One of them is the Sun Magister who teamed up with the other mafia to assassinate. I know the mage's shooting habits well.

But he had never seen a magician who could unleash his magic without the slightest preparation for chanting, and he had never seen a magician who could pretend to be so natural as this kid, walk so calmly to the edge of the trap, and only step on it until the last moment!

It was only then that Taaffe realized why his employer had paid such a high bounty and what a tragic mistake he had made. His target is not an inexperienced hairy boy, but a monster more cunning than a fox, more insidious than a poisonous snake, and more ferocious than a wolf!

That kid already knew about their actions, and he had already calculated to kill them!

The two nearest volleyers and the four besiegers who pounced on him fell victim to his suddenly bared fangs. The seventh-level magic that was enough to make the Glory Knights retreat almost exploded in the eyes of these mercenaries who only had the strength of brave knights.

Six mercenaries, five fell in an instant!

And the last one, with the help of his companions, finally withstood the attack of the Flame Tiger, and was nailed to death by Roy with three arrows in a panic. ...,

A qiē takes place between the electric light and the stone fire. When Taffe and another Twin Knife Hunter pounced. Roy's figure had already broken through the encirclement and swept twenty meters away.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout in his ears, the frightened Taaffe only saw dozens of knights riding past him and chasing after him. The boy, on the other hand, leaped through the jungle at a speed completely incompatible with that of the magician, turning back from time to time to shoot his bow and arrows.

He's incredibly fast. The archery is also very accurate.

Three arrows in a volley, four arrows in a volley, a beaded arrow......... Feathered arrows appeared in his hands out of thin air. It shot out again at a rapid pace. For a moment, the jungle was full of white feathers. Each arrow is alive, in a strange flight path. Dead biting the pursuing knights.

The three knights who rushed to the front were shot off their horses one after another. One knight was pierced in the head from behind by an arrow, one was pierced through the lower abdomen from below by an arrow flying against the grass, and another knight was thrown off by a horse that had been shot blind.

As soon as the two sides fled and chased, they were already far away in an instant. When Taaffe came to his senses, he saw the dust in the forest, the leaves of the trees falling sharply, a few horses that had lost their owners trotting aimlessly, shouting in the distance, and low bushes swaying among the galloping figures.

"What are we going to do?" the Twin Blade Hunter dodged to Taaffe's side. Asked.

His face was pale, and he had worked together for many years, and this was the most painful loss they had ever had. In just a few seconds, the six companions were corpses. Only the two of them remained.

", kill this kid no matter what!"

Taff looked at the charred corpses of his five companions on the ground and the dead eyes of his companions nailed to the tree. Gritting his teeth, he pulled his legs and ran in the direction where Roy and the knights had left.

No matter how powerful that kid is, there is only one person. Behind him were a dozen knights in full armor, including four just knights and two glorious knights with eight battle rings. If that can't kill that kid, he'll write his name upside down in the future!

But. Taffe soon regretted his decision.

Just when he and his companion had run less than two hundred meters, a snow-bright sword light slashed his companion into two pieces from the sky.

Before Taaffe could come to his senses, a dagger was already across his neck.

With a slight pull of the dagger, Tafta fell to the ground with his eyes open. Crimson blood gushed out from the wound on his neck, and in the blink of an eye, it expanded into a large puddle and slowly seeped into the dirt.

.....................

.....................

Roy was running fast through the jungle. The sound of horses' hooves behind him was like a life-urging talisman, clinging to him.

After losing three men, the knights of the Fifth Legion quickly changed their tactics.

Four impartial knights rushed to the front. With the battle ring fully open, they can minimize the threat of Roy's bow and arrows. The other knights spread their wings out, and with the speed of their horses, they slammed into Roy's front with all their might. At the same time, they took off their riding bows and used the rain of arrows to slow Roy's running speed and squeeze his dodge space.

And the most pressure on Roy were the two black-armored glory knights who followed the team silently. With eight battle rings and a distance of tens of meters of fighting qi from their bodies, every time they make a move, they are earth-shattering.

A black-armored knight cultivates a water-based fighting qi. The blue battle ring was volleyed out by him with a punch, like a huge teardrop-shaped cannonball, flying through the woods, breaking trees, smashing rocks, and crashing into the ground at Roy's feet, instantly a large hole.

If it weren't for Roy's fast dodge, he would have almost been hit several times. With his current strength, as long as he is hit, even if he is just rubbed a little, it will be a shattered end...,

The other black-armored knight cultivated the golden fighting qi.

His martial arts are very special, and after the battle ring is shot, it can be divided into two semi-circular crescents, which fly from the left and right in an arc towards Roy. Wherever the crescent moon passed, the branches of the trees fell and the grass clippings flew. A qiē is cut flat and neat. The hardness and sharpness of the metal are brought out to the fullest.

These two black-armored knights alone took Roy's attention by eighty percent. Several times I was forced to scramble.

"Boom!"

Another blue teardrop-shaped fighting ring sank into Roy's feet, and with a loud bang, dirt and gravel rose into the sky.

Roy just dodged the attack with a somersault. There was already a second-order brave knight next to him, and a shot came at him.

Roy's body twisted in the air and rolled several times in quick succession, avoiding the tip of the gun. The left foot landed a little, and the body was already shot out, and the backhand was an arrow. The knight snorted coldly, and the spear shook in his hand. Hard gun shafts. Cracked through the air, let out a screech, and slammed the arrow away. Then he sent it forward, and the head of the gun was like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, and went straight to Roy's vest.

Feel the coolness of the vest. Roy didn't dare to slack off, flipped his right hand, stuffed the riding bow back, and grabbed an axe with his backhand and slashed it at the tip of the spear.

There was a muffled thud. The moment the guns and axes intersected, Roy's battle rings and the opponent's two battle rings slammed together. The knight snorted, and reined in his horse, while Roy was shocked and flew upside down.

However, although he suffered a loss in terms of battle ring strength, his source power was long and strong, and he only suffocated his chest. He immediately recovered, and with a flick of his foot, he had already taken advantage of the force of the shock to shoot ten meters away, and once again rushed out of the encirclement before the two knights who came from both sides.

"Damn!" the two knights cursed at the same time. I saw the young man pass two meters in front of his riding spear. I was both annoyed and surprised.

The brave knight who fought Roy was the best of them all. The vindictiveness has reached the four-star bravery, and the experience is also spicy. With the move he faced just now, his two battle rings suddenly exerted force, and the timing was extremely good. In normal times, don't talk about armed knights. Even brave knights of the same rank will suffer a loss.

But the young man named Roy hastily stopped him with an axe, and he just flipped in the air, and after landing, he ran away as if he was nothing.

"Kill!"

The two horses staggered by, making a small arc and forming a triangular formation side by side with Roy's companions, and at the same time burst out with a loud shout and chased after them.

But at this moment, Roy, who was galloping, stopped, made a backhand move, and a big fireball appeared in his hand, smashing directly towards them.

"Fire Rain Meteor!"

Seeing the fireball explode in the air and turn into countless small fireballs, the three knights snorted coldly, and at the same time raised their shields and turned the battle ring into a film of light covering the shield.

The Fire Rain Meteor is a level 4 magic. Among the many fourth-level magics, it is characterized by its large coverage and low power of individual objects. The mage regiment often uses this magic in large-scale battles against dense infantry and ordinary cavalry. And for the three brave knights, this kind of small fireball is no problem to be hit by three or five. As long as the battle ring does not collapse, it is only a skin injury at most.

But this time, they miscalculated.

After Roy smashed out a fireball, he did not cut off the magic power, but used his mental power and perception to constantly manipulate the magic power to compress the fire rain meteor elemental array that had been stimulated, and the small fireballs that burst out of the big fireball overlapped one by one, compressing them into a very small range.

Two seconds later, the faces of the three knights had turned pale.

They watched as endless small fireballs fell in a terrifying density and smashed against their own raised shields. The furious fire energy that was completely beyond their fighting spirit destroyed their battle rings in an instant, melting their shields, armor and invading theirs. ...,

In the next second, the knights, the horses, and the surrounding trees had turned into a sea of fire.

The knight's screams made the eyes of the knights who came from behind change their horses.

They all know how powerful magicians are. I also know that although the fair knight is on the same level as the Dragon Moon Wizard in terms of profession, if you want to talk about attack ability alone, ten just knights combined are not as good as one Dragon Moon Wizard!

But this qiē has a time prerequisite!

To release magic, magicians need to arrange elemental arrays, chant and gesture assistance, and it is impossible to say just as they speak. And the casting time of tens of seconds or even minutes is enough for the knights who are close to them to kill them a hundred times!

Therefore, during the pursuit, they kept pressing Roy with bows and arrows, not giving him any chance to release his magic. And along the way, Roy did not stop running and dodging, and just now he was shocked away by a move against the pursuing knight. There was no sign of unleashing the magic from beginning to end.

But it was at the most unlikely time that Roy's magic struck again. And as soon as you make a shot, it will be three lives!

Such a fast spell casting speed and such a strong magic control force made all the pursuers, including the two black-armored knights, feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Is this guy he hunted down really just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy? At this age, he is so ruthless, and in a few years, how terrifying will he be?

"Can't let him live!" the two black-armored knights glanced at each other, already seeing the same thought in each other's horrified gazes.

"Up, kill him!"

Seeing that Roy actually stood still after releasing his magic, he watched himself and the others approach. The black-armored knights shouted in unison, speeding up their sprint. But at this moment, suddenly, several screams sounded, and the galloping knights of the Fifth Legion dismounted one by one.

The two black-armored knights reined in shock and turned their heads to look around.

I saw that in the surrounding jungle, I don't know when, dozens of knights had already appeared.

One by one, they came out of the grass, behind the trees, and on the hillside, like a pack of silent wolves, looking at themselves coldly. Several of them were drawing bloody swords from their subordinates' bodies. The calm appearance was not like killing someone, but like a butcher chopping a piece of meat.

The cold hair of the two stood up in an instant

(Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
