072 Siege
Du Wei felt that the player's stealth skills were too poor, and if they were too close, they would definitely be exposed immediately.
Therefore, the scope of their ambush was set outside the inner circle.
As long as the assassin is able to break away from the encirclement of the guards, it can be used as a deterrent.
It also makes better use of the player's characteristics.
Compared with the aborigines of this world, they are more afraid of death.
So he will risk his life to help Du Wei block the way of the assassins.
The second is that their combat effectiveness is only limited in strength compared to the civilians of this world.
Attacking the Assassin with the Guards would only add unnecessary confusion.
Even with this arrangement, Du Wei was still a little uncertain.
He didn't know exactly how strong the assassin was.
I don't know how much the aristocracy values themselves.
We had to make use of all the forces that could be mobilized.
The last time an adventurer appeared was nothing more than a false alarm.
But this time it was different, the other party was obviously coming to the village.
Neither the investigation nor the assassination allowed him to succeed.
The assassin cleaned up the monsters along the way, and at the same time, he walked into the encirclement step by step, but he didn't know it.
The guards were very skilled in their concealment, and they did not alarm him.
Du Wei clenched the lantern in his hand, ready to activate his ability at any time.
Unbeknownst to everyone, when the assassin who had already been discovered launched an attack on the kobold, several guards shot at the same time.
Gartha, a tavern lady in light armor, stabbed her sword out of the shadows.
A blow wrapped in the power of the wind elemental pierces the darkness.
The assassin was alert and ducked sideways.
After the blow, a wound was cut on the assassin's cheek, and blood leached out.
That's when he found himself surrounded.
The assassin wiped the wound slightly, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his head.
Du Wei used lanterns to create rock barriers to block the escape of the assassins.
Benjeno raised his sledgehammer, and the enchanted earth elemental struck from the front.
Howard and Marcos, the elderly guard in charge of the martial arts arena, besieged and killed from both sides.
Their expressions were serious, as if they had changed into different people.
Some players who couldn't suppress their curiosity saw the fierce battle begin and leaned over from the outer ring.
"There are many masters in the novice village!"
"I knew that these people were not that simple, otherwise how could they build a village in the Shadow Forest full of monsters."
"The main plot is finally coming to the surface~"
The assassin was none other than Wensaig, a frontier nobleman Vasil stationed in the town to the west.
He complied with orders to assassinate the village leader hiding in the Shadow Forest.
In the spirit of caution, I want to use the shadow monster to sneak in and investigate.
As everyone knows, they found the wrong object, not only exposing the shadow monster in front of [Dawn].
He was also targeted by Du Wei, who observed his movements through the [Dawn] vision, and was ambushed before entering the village.
He saw that the three of them were attacking fiercely, and he knew that he couldn't fight for a long time.
At the last moment, he calmly analyzed the strength of the three people.
Marcos is the oldest of them, although he seems to be no less powerful than the other two.
But Wenseg noticed that his hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
Wensaig seized on the flaw and rushed straight at Marcos.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Du Wei and Marcos' mouths invariably rose slightly.
He fell for it, and this is exactly the script specially arranged by Du Wei.
Du Wei guessed that the other party would definitely find the weakest side as a breakthrough.
The aging Marcos is the best fit to play the role.
But in fact, his combat effectiveness is still among the best in the last wing.
Otherwise, he would not be so old and still be left by Du Wei's father in the weaving of this most elite legion.
Wenseg didn't notice anything unusual until he was two meters in front of Marcos.
The other party's hands no longer trembled, and his sloppy eyes became sharp.
Wensaig cried out in his heart, the arcane scepter in his left hand shimmered to form a protective shield behind him, and the short sword in his right hand blocked Marcos's attack.
Howard stepped behind Benjeno behind Wenseg, his greatsword slashing down, shaking his shield.
A tremor came, and Wensaige's brain was buzzing, but there was still no space to deal with the enemy behind him.
He and Marcos exchanged several moves in an instant, and the players who came over couldn't see their movements clearly.
Seeing that Banjeno with a sledgehammer was about to hit him.
Wensaig gritted his teeth and put away his protective shield, and recited a spell to activate the teleportation secret method.
After carrying Howard's sword, he disappeared in place.
This teleportation method only works for a short distance, and it consumes a lot of mental power when activated.
If it weren't for those high-level arcane mages in the royal court, they would have exhausted all their spiritual power if they were used up to twice in a short period of time.
It is too impractical to use it to escape, and it could only be used for assassination or hostage-taking.
Du Wei also thought he was coming for himself, and casually shook the lantern to create a circle of thorny dungeons around him.
"Misty grass, is this the legendary Jun Malu's big move bone hyperplasia!" [Ghost Shadow from the Heart], who was standing on the sidelines watching the battle, exclaimed.
"God is so special bone hyperplasia, the village chief uses soil, this is earth escape! Soil growth! [Ma Guide] groped his chin and said.
The players next to him were powerless to complain about the conversation between the two, and they all looked at the battlefield intently.
Several guards guarding Du Wei's side were also in a state of readiness, but Wensegg was not seen.
"Over there!" Gartha said, pointing to the team of players who had come over.
A dagger was pressed against the neck of [Ma Gui], "Don't come here!" One step closer and I'll kill him!" Wensaig subdued the [horse guide] and shouted at the crowd.
During the brief exchange just now, Wensaig has been observing the movements of everyone present.
The most heavily protected was Du Wei, who stood beside him five or six guards of comparable strength to those who raided him.
It would be safest to use teleportation to hijack him.
But the problem is that there are too many people guarding him, and just now he has completed the construction of the secret method of the rock barrier in just a moment.
In Wensegg's opinion, Du Wei must be a powerful arcane mage.
If you want to teleport away while the other party teleports away, wouldn't it be a self-trap.
Surrounded by several guards at once, he couldn't imagine the embarrassing scene.
simply chose another character who was also surrounded by everyone [Ma Guide].
[Ma Gui] came to watch with his own sailors, and naturally became the focus.
Wen Saige thought about it, although this person was surrounded by civilians with little combat effectiveness, but he could get the support of so many people, no matter how he said it, he had to be the second-in-command in the village.
Wen Saige, who consciously understood the overall situation and took the key hostages, breathed a long sigh of relief, "Give me a retreat!" ”
To Wenseg's surprise, the onlookers didn't make any moves.
also put on a posture of watching a good show.
Could it be that I miscalculated?
Chosen a detached leader?
