Chapter 36: Who is the Prey?
"Opportunity!" watched as the Norman Emperor and his retinue pulled a distance. Assassin rookie Sonia had a sudden thought of the word. However, she didn't understand that the tyrant was holding a traditional bow and arrow, nor a crossbow, but an inexplicable, ivory-white barrel with a handle. And watch the tyrant run and steer the war horse, with both hands, holding the strange thing in his left hand, and placing a copper mechanism on the back of the barrel (with a fire cap) in his right hand, then biting open a yellow oil-paper bag, pouring some black powder-like things into it, and then putting the oil-paper bag (with projectiles) in it, holding a small wooden stick and poking it for a while, and then aiming.
"What is this?" Sonia frowned, thinking to herself, though distraction was undesirable at such times. But Sonia was still attracted by Egil's very strange behavior. Of course, after seeing that Egil had done all this, he did nothing, and the knights behind him quickly caught up. Sonia knew that if she didn't act at this time, she might not have a chance.
So--around the same time, Sonia shot with a throwing knife in her hand. At the same time, Egil raised his left hand and pulled the trigger!
"Bang!", the lead projectile directly shattered the steel throwing knife, and at the same time, the trend flew towards Sonya, and the "whistle" passed by her, such a terrifying ballistic judgment. The average gunner, even with the most advanced automatic pistol in his hand, is very difficult to complete.
Galloping horses, throwing knives, projectiles, assassins - that shot can be called art. This was also a skill that Egil was very proud of—after exchanging the musket, he was surprised to find that he had such a talent. Excellent firearms talent, combined with exchanged, excellent eyesight, and fifteen thousand bonds worth of firearms mastery and firearms mastery, a rifled flintlock pistol, all of this increased Egil's combat effectiveness by at least five times.
"What happened just now?!" Seeing that the king on the other side was unharmed, and showed a mocking smile at the place where she was hiding. Sonia immediately realized that her plan could basically be declared a failure - but why?
- No, with such a powerful Assassin force, it should be a piece of cake to find oneself. What Sonia really cared about was what kind of weapon the other party had just used, and why was it so powerful?! Also, it seemed that the Norman Emperor's skills were not as clumsy as the legend suggested. The assassination plan for the future will be revised even more.
Of course, these are all things that will happen after he can escape smoothly - seeing his own lord assassinated under his own nose, the knights of the guard suddenly turned red, and after the sound of a crossbow machine being wound, it was called a hunting crossbow, but in fact it was a powerful version of the pulley crossbow, and the hundreds of crossbow machines were all aimed at the grass where Sonya was hiding, and the knights pulled the trigger without saying a word. Hundreds of crossbow arrows shot directly at it, making Sonia angrily scold: "What's going on?!"
It is true that the knights of the guards do not reject such things as crossbows as they do the knights of other countries. In fact, adhering to Egil's pragmatism, these knights of the Guards were actually given a crossbow as a standard equipment in the military reform. And in the course of half a day's hunting, most of the knights did not fire a crossbow. This first round of attacks was all used on Sonya.
Although he was still very curious about how Egil had shattered his throwing knife. But Sonya's skills were not slow at all, and with a shake of her hand, she came up with an extra dagger, and then the dagger was inserted into the trunk of the tree next to her, and with the help of this fulcrum, she jumped up nearly a meter high as soon as she stepped on the ground, and then stepped on the dagger, and with a little more force, she jumped to the tree.
"That kid is going to run! kill him!!"
One of the Guard knights next to Egil shouted like this, but it made Egil stunned for a moment, because the guard knight used the third-person pronoun "he" instead of "she".
"Could it be that Nemoulis is mistaken, and this assassin is actually a man?" thought to himself. Then he recalled that although Sonia had been on the tree for less than a second, Egil's eyesight was not what it used to be, and he still had a rough look. Although the figure is graceful and athletic. It looks very aesthetically pleasing. But the other party's boobs are indeed ...... Well, how to say, even the little nun has begun to develop after the recent ravages of Egil. And the other party doesn't even look like the little nun Mary. Or is the other party a poor milk of the same level as Artoria?,
Egil thought so, and then frowned to the side, and Nemulis, who had six throwing knives clasped between his fingers, cast a dissatisfied look, which naturally meant that Nemulis wanted to explain it to him well. However, Egil's stunning shot just now didn't just captivate Sonya. Beside him, Nemulis, who also wanted to throw a throwing knife to block Sonya's attack, also felt very incredible—although he had long known that his lord had a very special long-range attack weapon. But I never thought it would be so strong. And his job was robbed by the lord, which also made him feel a little lost. In this way, Nemulis did not see Egil's expression.
"Hmph. Egil snorted, and instead of urging Nemulis, he drew his command knife and shouted, "That assassin must not have gone far! Catch her! Remember, I will live!
The knights of the Guards responded with a bang, and immediately began their search. In reality, such searches did not last long. They soon discovered Sonia and a group of battlefield assassins who were fighting with her. Their fights were very exciting, with a total of six Assassins on the battlefield, and a special many-on-one formation was vaguely formed. Sonya, on the other hand, was only one - but on the battlefield, Sonia had the upper hand.
The battlefield Assassins were careless in their positions, with a sword and a dagger in their hands - they did not receive such an order from Egil to "catch alive". Therefore, all the moves are aimed at Sonya's vital assassination. However, Sonia seems to have eyes all over her body, and no matter which direction she attacks, she will defuse them as soon as possible. In both hands, two characteristic triangular daggers flew up and down, although they were on the defensive, but they were like the ** bodies of hedgehogs and turtles, the defense was not leaky, and the offense was like mercury. The whole body was transformed into a terrifying murderous aura - steel snares on the fingers, barbed leather bracers and knee pads on the joints, short blades on the soles of the shoes, and a dagger tied to the tail end of the single ponytail, which could be attacked with movements such as shaking the head.
When Egil and the knights of the Guards arrived, they saw the sight of Sonia with both hands in front and back, two daggers against the two battlefield assassin swords on either side - and then the daggers flipped and delicately pointed at the weakness that had appeared in the forging of the longsword - the two swords looked scarred, but they did not know how many times they had been subjected to such attacks. This time I finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned it into a pile of scrap metal.
As for the two enemies attacking in front of her and behind her, Sonia dodged the combined attack of the four assassins as soon as she moved her footsteps, and then jumped high, her legs parted, and before Egil could whistle, she heard two muffled grunts. A total of two battlefield assassins were attacked, one left arm and the other right arm hung down weakly, but they were ruthlessly kicked by the other party, and the short blade on the shoes directly pierced the pipa bone.
Then, when Sonia landed, she took a step back and flicked her ponytail—the barb at the end of the braid pierced the palm of the latter's hand. Although the battlefield assassin was angry, he also snorted in pain. Seeing that his companion was injured, the only assassin in the front with full combat strength did not dare to attack again. Cautiously stayed where he was and made a defensive posture.
In the blink of an eye, five of the six seasoned battlefield assassins who fought Sonia were wounded. But it was an eye-opener for Egil.
However, Sonya's crisis did not end - the five battlefield assassins did not hesitate to retreat and give up their positions. Immediately afterward, five new Assassins from the battlefield rushed over to fill the void. Then came another big war......
When Egil looked over again, he saw that there were nearly two hundred of them around Sonya, all of whom were battlefield assassins, or elite assassins, and those who seemed to be wounded, plus the latest five, there were twenty-one. I couldn't help but secretly admire: this woman is very capable. Then he saw that the knights of the guard were about to step forward to help in the battle, so he spoke out to stop them - in such a small battle, the six battlefield assassins who cooperated with each other were just right, and there were too many of them, but they would show flaws due to poor cooperation.
"Don't get involved!" fence up, ready to aim the crossbow at her. But don't shoot without my orders. Egil shouted.
As soon as this order was given, hundreds of knights of the guards armed with strong crossbows appeared around the warband. completely cut off the possibility of Sonya's escape......
"It's over, this time it's planted. At this point, Sonia began to regret it. You shouldn't have been so arrogant and rushed to assassinate you. However, it seems that it is too late to say this for a while....... )
