It's only been less than a week since Leach and the others last came here, and even if all the blood stains on the ground are gone due to the effect of time following the wind, those footprints can't disappear completely, after all, there has been no windy weather in the past few days.

On the other hand, there was no trace of the road in front of him, except for the footprints left by Leach and the others when they came, and Leach really couldn't think of any other possibility except that someone had just swept the place with a tree branch or something.

"Be careful, it could be dangerous!" said Leach, pulling the black blade out.

As soon as the words fell, a snow-white sword light appeared from a pile of firewood next to the gate, and flew straight towards the Michelle sisters and brothers at the back of the line.

Although there was a reminder from Leach, the Michelle siblings had never encountered a similar situation, and they could not react in time at all, and could only watch the claws of death getting closer and closer to them.

Just when the sister and brother were suffocating because of death, a huge steel ball blocked in front of the two of them, making a crisp clanging sound. It turned out that Tali on the side used her own weapon in time to block the fatal blow for the siblings.

The Michelle siblings are shocked, and Leach is also too busy to take care of himself, because the attack is not only aimed at Michelle and John, and even he is at the front of the team and receives more "care".

This is not the first time that Leach has been assassinated, the last time he escorted Oriana out of Ambrera, he was treated in the same way, although the main target was not him on both occasions, but the result was the same, that is, he could not walk away, but could only rise to the challenge.

Compared with the last time, this time the number of assassins is more, the strength is stronger, and the assassination technique is more proficient, but Leach himself has also made great progress, so he is not worried about his own safety, the only thing that is not at ease is the sisters and brothers of Ti Xin Lier and Michelle, after all, the three of them do not have the slightest ability to protect themselves.

Fortunately, on the day of accepting Michelle's request, Leach discussed with the girls how to prepare in case of danger, and the whole team was not panicked when it was suddenly attacked.

What made Leach feel strange was that although there were many fifth-order masters among the group of assassins in front of him, they didn't put much pressure on him, and it made him feel as if they were doing something perfunctory, not to mention that all the attacks were towards the vital points around him, but the speed was deliberately slowed down by several beats.

Saya also discovered this, but she also couldn't understand why all the other attacks were weak and powerless except for the one that sneaked up on Michelle just now.

Although they did not seem to have a level of skill comparable to their strength in attack, the Assassins showed a level of skill that surprised Leach when it came to dodging.

Thanks to the amplification of the Black Feather Staff, Lena now has almost no preparation time to activate her magic, and her power has also been increased considerably, so long as her mental power is not exhausted, it is equivalent to a heavy fire turret that does not even need time to refill ammunition.

However, even so, Lena's magic did not hit any of its targets, except for the fact that the ground near Michelle's house was riddled with holes, and it was not because she couldn't aim accurately, but because the group of assassins were too good at dodging and dodging.

Compared to Lena, Saya's attacks did not all miss, after all, Lena's magic was much slower than Saya's arrows in terms of flight speed, but the result also failed to cause any damage, and the assassins only needed to flick their weapons in their hands, and Saya's attack fell into the air.

It's easy to say, but it shows the Assassins' high sense of battle and accurate timing.

However, the more the other party behaved like this, the more Leach wondered what this group of assassins wanted to do, after all, judging from the combat quality shown by the other party, although it was not enough to defeat their own side in general, it was impossible to make it so easy for them.

Just as Leach guessed the other party's true purpose, a dark shadow suddenly appeared beside Lena and the others.

At this time, everyone was standing, Leach was alone outside with the Assassins, and the rest of the people gathered together, the ineffective Ti Xin Lier and Michelle siblings were surrounded in the middle, Tali, Lena, and Saya were surrounded by the front, left and right, and behind them was a wall.

When the shadow appeared, everyone's attention was on the assassins who were besieging them like a play, and no one expected that the real killer of the other party would not suddenly appear until this moment.

As soon as the black shadow appeared, he did not hesitate to attack Michelle, and the others present at this time did not even notice that there was an extra person in the field.

Just as the long sword in the black shadow's hand was about to pierce Michelle's chest, John, who had been hiding in her arms and shivering, suddenly burst out of courage and pushed his sister away, and he himself pounced on the black shadow with teeth and claws.

The next moment, blood splattered.

The bright white sword came out of his chest, and John looked at his chest in a daze, as if wondering why he was bleeding and why he felt so painful.

Seeing that her brother was seriously injured, Michelle got up from the ground like crazy, screaming and rushing towards the murderer who hurt her brother.

It wasn't until now that they realized that there was another Assassin in the field.

After missing the blow, the black shadow frowned, raised his foot and kicked John to the ground, the long sword stabbed again, this time the target was still Michelle.

At this time, Leach was entangled and couldn't get out, Saya's attack angle was blocked by Michelle who didn't care, Tali's weapon didn't have time to retract, and the only one who could save Michelle was Lina, who was closest to her.

Don't look at Lina's usual daze, but what to do at a critical moment has never gone wrong, I saw her pull Michelle who passed by her, and with a slight wave of the black feather staff in her right hand, a corrosive spell was thrown towards the black shadow's face.

Unfortunately, Lena obviously underestimated the strength of the last assassin to appear, only to see the opponent's body twist slightly, not only easily avoiding Lina's counterattack, but also castration, the long sword like a poisonous dragon straight to Michelle's chest.

Seeing that Michelle was about to follow in her brother's footsteps, Lena had no choice but to use her body to block in front of her.

A blood-red flower bloomed again in the small courtyard, although Michelle was not injured, but after being sprayed with hot blood, the whole person finally calmed down, but Lena slowly collapsed.
