The time is approaching winter, and the weather at night is getting colder and colder. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But the scar-faced man and the others were quietly lurking in the shadows of the night, motionless, as if they were completely unaffected by the cold weather.
Their eyes were glued to Casio's manor, waiting for the night attack to take place after nightfall!
The cold wind was bleak, and the scar-faced man and the others didn't care, and finally waited for the last light in Casio's manor to go out.
They did not immediately carry out a surprise attack, but waited until the middle of the moon, and it was estimated that most of the people in the manor had already fallen asleep, and then they were like poisonous snakes in the shadows, wandering in the shadows under the decorative bushes and trees, and quickly rushing towards the manor.
Casio, as a prince, is really miserable in Greenwater Town, and there is no one who can be on duty at night in the huge manor.
This situation made the scar-faced man more careful, he knew that Casio was already training private soldiers, but he didn't send a person to watch at night, this situation was too weird.
As he approached the manor, the uneasiness in the Scarface man's heart grew stronger, and the thought of retreating first almost flashed.
But when he thought that the task of himself and the others was only to contain the few remaining knights around Casio, and the group of young people who might not even know how to wield a sword, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and secretly laughed at himself for being too suspicious.
While the Scarface Man and the others continued to advance, Nighttooth was also in the other direction, matching their movements, sneaking towards Casio's manor.
Seeing that he was less than fifty meters away from the gate of the manor, but still not noticed, the scar-faced man's heart relaxed slightly, and he secretly laughed that he was really thinking too much.
To them, this distance was only a matter of a few breaths.
Just as the scar-faced man had just finished laughing at himself, and before he could take the next step, an extremely slight frictional sound suddenly came into his ears.
They were trained Assassins, and stealth was absolutely silent, and something like stepping on a dead leaf and making a sound could not have happened to a seasoned Assassin like them.
What's more, the faint friction sound just now didn't look like it was made by stepping on a dead leaf at all.
A sense of surprise had just risen in the Scarface man's heart, when suddenly a loud bang accompanied by a lotus-like flame rose from his side, under the feet of one of his companions.
The Scarface Man and his party were all startled by the sudden tremor, but then they reacted, there was a trap!
The Assassin who stepped on Casio's buried "Ouch Boom" in the dirt, wrapped in scorching flames, let out screams and rolled on the ground in the hope of extinguishing the flames.
However, the purified juice of the fire leaf wormwood has strong adhesion, and it can be easily extinguished by tumbling at this time.
The others were eager to help, but their training as Assassins made them realize that this was not the best time to help, and they quickly moved their positions and went into hiding again.
It was fortunate that they didn't move, but this time, two loud noises were heard again, and in addition to one assassin who was agile enough to dodge the direct impact, a burning man rolling on the ground and wailing was added to the scene.
"Stay where you are, don't move!" the scar-faced man instantly understood the danger in this place, and quickly spoke up.
Anyway, the explosion has definitely betrayed them, and instead of hiding everywhere and running into the trap that I don't know where it is placed, it is better to stay where it is and wait and see what happens.
The scar-faced man couldn't help but look to the other side, and saw that the figure of Nighttooth looked like a ghost under the moonlight, and with a little tiptoe, it slid far away on the grass, and after a few ups and downs, it had already dodged into the manor room.
The scar-faced man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although they were exposed in advance, their original purpose was to attract attention and create opportunities for Nighttooth.
In fact, the sudden explosion startled Nighttooth, and at the same time made him understand that if he didn't act quickly, he probably wouldn't have a chance.
That's why he exerted all his strength and entered the manor room as soon as possible.
At this time, the two unlucky people who stepped on the "oops" were still rolling and howling on the ground, and the scar-faced man was so worried that he finally came forward to drag the two back, covering them with dirt until they finally pressed the flames down.
But at this time, these two people have been burned black, and if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of their chests, it is estimated that no one would think that they are still alive.
The inexplicable loss of two companions made the scar-faced man feel angry for a while, and the number of people they had left now was actually only about ten, and this time they had abolished their two-tier combat power.
However, after waiting in place for a while, the Scarface Man and the others still didn't see anyone rushing out of Casio's manor room, which made them puzzled.
They didn't believe that after the three huge explosions just now, Casio and the others hadn't woken up yet.
"What to do, sir?" asked one of his companions, turning to the scar-faced man.
The scar-faced man frowned, hesitated for a moment before replying, "Maybe they didn't have enough manpower, so even though they knew that we were attacking, they still chose to defend in the room. ”
The companion nodded, agreeing with Scarface's guess.
However, they didn't know that Casio had already been awakened when the first "oops" exploded, and at this time, the three knights of Agaret who had been guarding around his room were standing behind the window edge, looking at them condescendingly.
"Your Royal Highness, they are here. ”
The eyes of the three Agaret flashed with coldness, many of their companions had died under the night attack of the Moon Shadow Council. Until now, the bodies of those companions are still lying in the cemetery outside Greenwater, and there is not even a decent knight's funeral.
Of course, Casio promised that when Greenwater was stabilized, he would hold a beautiful funeral for the knights who protected him.
Casio didn't have any sense of urgency at this time because of the Moon Shadow Council's success, so he spent a lot of time observing the situation below.
If the Moon Shadow Council had raided him when he first arrived in Greenwater, there was a good chance that he would have been assassinated by them.
And it wasn't until half a month later that these people came, and it was already too late!
Casio also thought for a moment that they had given up on the assassination plan, but he didn't expect it to finally come tonight.
"Your Royal Highness, since they are here, do you want us to go down and surround them and leave them all behind?"
Agaret frowned and reprimanded Ron: "Ron, your duty is to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, not what you want. ”
Ron was reprimanded by Agaret and shrunk his head, not daring to say more.
However, Casio nodded: "Agarret, Ron is right, the trap only frightened them temporarily, but there was no way to stop them. And the overall strength of the [shield guards] is still insufficient, and I am afraid that it will not be smooth to deal with it. So, Ron and Vanna, the two of you go down and help the Shield-Bearers flank. ”
After thinking about it, Casio ordered emphatically: "You remember, you don't have to fight with them, you just need to guide them to step on the 'ouch boom', then the battle will be twice as effective with half the effort." ”
Agaret disagreed slightly, but swallowed back the words even as Casio waved his hand.
During this time, he has seen too many changes and differences from Casio, and he has gradually trusted Casio's decision.
After Ron and the others were ordered to leave, Casio's eyes looked around the Scarface Man and the others, where a [Shield Guard] wearing chain mail, armed with a long sword and an oak shield, was slowly approaching, and had sealed off their back road!
