Volume 2 The Messenger of the Two Clans Chapter 38 Night Attack
The night in another world is never peaceful, because just as scorpions and vipers like to catch their prey at night, both humans and elves like to do what they really want to do at night - of course, whether in bed or outside, those things are always not visible.
Ivan curled up behind a wall, leaning back as hard as he could, trying to hide himself as much as he could, and then after making sure that his body would not be discovered, he turned his gaze back to the side of the courtyard.
At this moment, he was not doing any infiltration work, but following Princess Caroline's instructions, he carefully monitored the courtyard where the latter's room was located - because he had 'successfully' infiltrated the reception where the divine envoy Yi Fan was before, so the princess seemed to have a little more trust in his ability.
As a mid-level knight, he can indeed be regarded as a strong man in his own right many times, although he has always kept a low profile and does not say anything, but he has long thought that he will eventually be valued, by the petite figure he longs for.
However, when thinking about these things in his heart, Ivan did not relax his vigilance at all, because he knew that in this holy capital where the dragon and the tiger were hidden, the strength of his intermediate knight might only be a cannon fodder-level existence - so the princess would consider seeking the help of the so-called divine envoy.
Thinking of this, Ivan subconsciously moved his body down slightly, perhaps thinking that such a posture would make him hide better.
Although the princess seemed to be calm all the way to the elven holy capital this time, Eva, as the princess's guard, had already realized that this was just a brief calm before the storm - the strange humans who appeared outside this hotel had been increasing in the past two days.
The reason why the princess left the royal capital and came here was that in addition to the so-called fate of the mainland, there was actually another extremely important thing to do. Ivan knew this, so he also knew how many people in the empire called Vincent were also thinking about destroying the princess's plans.
"Whoosh~" A strange wind sound suddenly sounded in the air, and Ivan's nerves tensed up, and he slowly moved his body, trying to poke his head out to look in the direction where the wind came from.
Although such a thing would naturally be done by the guards in charge of the area, for some reason, he still subconsciously couldn't help but want to do it.
And then he saw it!
- It was a scene he would never forget in his life, the two guards who were supposed to be companions a moment ago, were lifted by a pair of dry hands in front of his eyes, and then in an instant his whole body dried up like that hand, as if he had been quickly drained of blood!
The owner of the hands, only a pair of blood-red terrible eyes could be seen on his blurred face, but judging from his hunched appearance, it almost immediately reminded Ivan of the terrifying name he had heard - [Blood Reaper] Vladimi, who was obviously human, but because he practiced evil magic, he sucked humans like a vampire.
Fear surged over Ivan in an instant, but knowing his mission, he bit his lip so that he didn't make a sound, and then carefully returned to his previous position, moving his limbs slightly, intending to rush to Caroline's room to report the news before the horrible creature could detect it.
The other party did not seem to notice Ivan's presence, or rather, the struggle of the prey in the cage was no more important to Vladimi than the enjoyment of the meal in front of him.
For Ivan, this is a rare opportunity! The other party obviously does not know, for Ivan, as long as they can let the princess survive the assassination, then everything else is no longer important.
After a short distance, Ivan seemed to use all his strength when he walked past it, but fortunately, when he entered the courtyard, Vladimi outside didn't seem to notice him, so after taking a deep breath, he rushed towards Caroline's room.
"Princess, run away, there is a killer appearing, the other party is very strong, is it ......" Before approaching the door of Caroline's room, Ivan felt the figure behind him rapidly approaching with the sound of the wind, so he couldn't help but shout loudly into the room.
His opponent was obviously faster than him, and just as he was about to reveal his identity, the withered hands that had just been seen from a distance suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, and then grabbed his throat at once.
"Tut-tut, what a loyal little mouse, I deliberately pretended not to find you, and thought you would choose to run away quietly, but I didn't expect to have the courage to run over and report the news!" As he spoke, a miserable white face like a dead man slowly approached Ivan's face, "It seems that I am really not scary enough, even a guy like you will not be afraid!"
With the strength of an intermediate knight, when Ivan was held by those hands that did not have much flesh, it was as if someone had opened a hole in his body in an instant, and the power of his body was like flowing water frantically surging towards that hole.
"Her Royal Highness Princess...... Run away...... "In just a few seconds, Ivan seemed to be drowning, losing the last trace of strength in his life, and could only rely on instinct, slightly squirming his lips and saying what he had not finished.
I guess I have become like those two companions, right? Really, not only can I not do anything for the princess, but I don't even have the right to choose a decent death in the end!
Is it still too weak? The world in his eyes gradually became blurred, as if even the strength to keep his eyelids open was gone, but the moment Ivan closed his eyelids completely, a smile suddenly appeared on his dry face—the princess heard me!
......
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please step back, this guy on the other side is very strong!"
The knight in full armor stood in front of Caroline, looking intently at the slowly approaching figure in front of her, and at the feet of the figure lay the corpse of Ivan, who had completely lost its original appearance.
Ivan's shout attracted the attention of the other guards, and soon, about ten guards scattered around the room immediately rushed towards the place as well!
With a "bang", the door next to Caroline was also opened, and Osili, who was holding the staff, rushed out with anger on her face, but when she saw Ivan's body, she was immediately frightened and took two steps back.
Ignoring Oxelli, who was standing in front of Caroline, let alone the other guards, Vlarkimi smiled cruelly as he slowly walked towards where Caroline stood.
"You're the same Princess Caroline, aren't you? If you don't want your subordinates to continue to get hurt, you can kill yourself!"
Bending as friendly as a gentleman, in his heart, if he had not seen what had happened before him, and the terrible appearance of the former, perhaps those present would have regarded him as a polite gentleman - before the gentleman spat out the curse-like words from his mouth.
"That's right, I'm the princess of Vincent's empire, but I can only say sorry for your advice!"
Caroline, who doesn't have any strength, always thinks she's joking when she speaks hard, but after hearing her words, Vladimi was obviously stunned, obviously knowing how much determination there was in the former's words.
"What? Unlike the little girls they were talking about, you look a little more interesting than I thought. There was no expected expression of fear, and the solemn and serious expression seemed to make Vladimi excited, "Ah, hahaha! Sure enough, if a cute guy like you becomes my dependent, it will be my most outstanding work!"
Vlarkimi covered his face hard, as if to prevent himself from laughing too exaggeratedly, but the sound that peeked out between his fingers made all the guards raise their weapons at once.
"Hey, what are you trying to do, do you think that you can really stop me with your strength?" Kicking Ivan's body away, Vladimi held out his hand in a hug gesture, and after a slight pause, continued towards Caroline.
"Run away, Your Highness Princess! we'll do our best to buy you time!" the knight who stood in front of Caroline, his sword in his hands, began to tremble slightly, but after he said this to Caroline slightly sideways, he rushed towards Vladimi with a resolute face.
Then a hand stood in front of him.
"Momeng, I can't let you go alone at this time!" Bryce pulled out his giant sword, and as he spoke, a fiery red fighting armor slowly covered his whole body-he had the strength of a high-level martial artist, and he really preserved his strength when he was Antola.
"Bryce, you guy is still the same!" The sudden appearance of the fighting armor on the former's body made Mo Meng surprised at the same time, and at the same time, he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he immediately shouted to the other guards: "Hurry up and protect Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Highness Osili to leave, this guy will be handed over to us!"
The moment he finished speaking, Mo Meng's body also suddenly appeared on his body with Douqi armor that only high-level martial artists could use, but perhaps because he was a knight rather than a berserker, his Douqi armor was slightly different from Bryce, and the color of his armor was silver white instead of blood red.
Sensing the weight of the two people's words, Osili did not hesitate at all, and immediately pulled Caroline to the side, and the other guards immediately rushed out after each other.
"Hey, hey, if you refuse my kindness like this, you'll die a miserable death!" Black blades like flames suddenly appeared on his hands, and a cruel smile appeared on Vladimir's pale face.
Although Yi Fan's visit to the Holy Capital this time was originally to discuss important matters related to the future of the mainland, the other two people attending the meeting didn't seem to see it that way, and when they learned that Yi Fan had asked some news from Guy's mouth,
