A great strategist, Wal-Shabi, once said that to defeat your enemies, you must first understand them.

This concept of his has been widely accepted and applied to various local battlefields, and since his appearance, intelligence warfare and assassination warfare have become particularly important, and a beautiful local war can even affect the overall trend.

Lin Qiu felt that in addition to the fact that this master of strategy made people not want to believe him because his name, his tactical concept was still relatively advanced.

The shadow appeared unexpectedly to Lin Qiu, and the reason why he came was even more incredible.

Albert's commission.

In other words, Albert, with a serious shortage of manpower around him, entrusted Richard's safety, which may be the only person with extremely high combat power in the imperial capital at present. Shadow has never been known for his sense of responsibility, and even if the palace is attacked at this moment, he has no idea of overfulfilling his commission.

When Lin Qiu walked into the house, Shadow put the giant sword back in its place, and there were five attackers in total, all of whom were killed with one blow.

"I feel like I'm missing something, you kid came just in time, come and have a drink with me. Shadow said with a grin.

He had spent a whole night in this boring room, and he felt that there was nothing more boring than gambling with Richard—the foolish prince had nothing to hide, and Shadow could guess what was in his mind with a glance, and gambling with such a man was nothing at all.

Lin Qiu was different.

From the moment he walked through the door, Ying clearly felt that he was a notch better than the last time he had learned swordsmanship.

He had such an idea from a teenager.

"I'm not here to gamble. Lin Qiu glanced at the dice Gu and the scattered cards on the table and said.

He only entered the door to make sure Richard was safe, there was no better guard than Shadow, and it was impossible for these attackers to break through Shadow's defenses. Albert is full of confidence, Richard has a shadow sitting next to him, and Princess Sophia also has Phoenix and two S-class monsters......

"It's just a tentative attack. ”

Seeing that Lin Qiu was about to leave, Ying said.

"The people who were able to infiltrate the palace with so many Assassins would never think that they alone would be able to take down the heads of the Henry family. Shadow vaguely felt that something was wrong, the way these attackers had infiltrated the palace was so ingenious that he didn't even notice that there was someone else hiding in this room before they did it. On top of that, what worries people even more is the timing of their attacks.

Due to the appearance of the Sith, the Senate and the Church were now focused on fighting the Sith. Kroll has defected, and the Senate has not yet sent a guard to take over Kroll's work, and the other party seems to have already grasped this information.

People who have this kind of power and hate Henry's family to the core...... Who exactly?

"Yes, but I didn't expect Albert to send someone to protect his enemies. ”

Ahead of the sound was a row of silver needles, three of which shot at Shadow's right arm, and the tricky angle completely sealed the space where Shadow held the sword, and if he tried to touch the sword, the three silver needles would hit his right arm. The rest of the silver needles were shot at Richard in unison.

"Ding—"

The invisible force caused the silver needle to fall to the ground, but while manipulating the inscription, Lin Qiu's heart was awe-inspiring—because the target of the comer was not Shadow and Richard, but him! The galloping figure rushed into the house in the blink of an eye, the knife in his hand was extremely strange, and the whole scene was only half the length of the standard knight's sword, and the sharp blade went straight to his throat.

Dark skin and cold eyes.

The Assassin looked the same as the previous Assassin, but his strength was far superior.

"Boy!"

Shadow's heart was shocked, but he forcibly retracted his right arm. Three silver needles struck his sword with a few soft sounds, and almost at the same time as the sound sounded, a severed arm rolled to the side. Before the expression on the attacker's face could change, the sword that cut off his arm had already slit his throat.

Everything happened in an instant, and the horror in Shadow's heart was like that of an assassin who was slowly falling.

Although those three silver needles attracted his attention to a certain extent, he couldn't see the speed at which Lin Qiu came out of the sword at all. In fact, the moment the assassin appeared, Lin Qiu felt that he had fallen into a state of emptiness, and after the third order was opened, he was already able to control the ability of the 'Heart Eye' more freely.

His senses intensified countless times for a while, sounds, movements, breaths, everything around him could not escape his perception.

The sound of footsteps on the upper floors, the sound of fighting in the garden, the screams of the servants...... and, the assailant's low laugh as he fell, which rang out at the same time as the sound of blood splattering, and when he realized something was wrong, the severed arm that fell to the ground stabbed Richard.

"Bang-"

The short knife in the severed arm's hand hit the giant sword, and at the same time as it bounced back, the "corpse" that fell to the ground turned over, and the severed arm was confidently spliced onto his body, and by the moonlight, Lin Qiu saw the scabbed cut on his neck. Seeing that his surprise attack was unsuccessful, the assassin's face finally changed, he glared at the shadow fiercely, and the next moment, his left hand slammed down, and with a bang, thick smoke spread under his feet, and quickly took over the entire room.

The breath and the sound were gone.

Even in the perceptual state of the heart eye, Lin Qiu couldn't feel the other party's traces, and he didn't even know where he fled to.

And a familiar enemy came to him in his mind.

Executioners.

The Chaos Cult's assassination department.

He was sure that his sword had slit the throat of the other man, and that under any normal circumstance, the other party would be dead. Unless...... The other party cannot die. In the past, he had encountered similar opponents many times, only this time the enemy was stronger and more cunning than before.

He didn't go head-to-head with them because of his immortality, and after missing a blow, he immediately chose to retreat.

"What's that...... People?"

The unresponsive Richard asked in surprise, he thought about it, and changed the "thing" that he almost blurted out to a person.

He had seen a lot of strange things when he was walking with Lin Qiu, but it was the first time he had seen someone who could recover from having his arm cut off and still be alive after having his throat cut. What's even more terrifying is that this kind of monster is obviously coming for him - when Lin Qiu and Ying were present at the same time, the other party almost succeeded!

“...... Black Crow. ”

It took a long time for Shadow to spit out those two words.

As he blocked the severed arm, he also saw the ominous crow mark on the back of the severed arm's hand.

- A person who has this kind of power and hates Henry's family to the core...... Who exactly?

While seeing the imprint, the doubts in his heart were also answered.

"Go to someone else, things seem to be worse than I expected. ”

Ei, who has always been known for his irresponsibility, suggested: "That guy didn't run away, he just hid in the shadows, he could reappear at any time, we must find a safe place." ”
