Snowy night

Dozens of longbowmen stood on the snow-covered roofs of the Garden Square in the city of Highlandza, several feathered arrows silently piercing the snowflake-covered streets, nailing one after the other to the walls, and the Assassins nimbly jumped as they ran, dodging several arrows.

Occasionally, he would disappear into the shadows of the corner for a short moment, and when his figure reappeared, he would run a long distance.

There was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the street, and Karl led a group of knights from all over the streets, dressed in metal armor and wielding knights' swords, and they all gathered around the Assassin, who changed direction and rushed straight to the Garden Square before the knights could approach.

In the midst of the rain of arrows, the Assassin stepped over a low wall of bushes and met the two swordsmen of the guard battalion disguised as lovers, whose blood-stained arms suddenly stabbed at one of the swordsmen.

The swordsman held a thin sword and drew a 'Z' in front of his body, trying to stop the assassin.

But the assassin, who was as nimble as a loach fish, took the opportunity to approach the swordsman, and sealed the sword with his arm guard on his wrist, making a soft 'ding' sound.

The two guard battalion swordsmen flanked left and right, their thin swords striking at the Assassin's hands and feet, and they didn't even intend to kill the Assassin, they just wanted to stop him.

It's just that at the same time that the two thin swords were about to stab the assassin, a black phantom suddenly exploded behind the assassin, and several tentacles stretched out from the black phantom, instantly entangled the two guard battalion swordsmen, and the two guard battalion swordsmen were fixed in place as if they had been immobilized.

The two of them looked shocked, their bodies were twisted a little by the black tentacles, and some of the joints of their bodies were even deformed in reverse, although they were still struggling in the restraints, but the phantom tentacles were entangled in the two of them, preventing them from making any abnormal movements.

Surdak, who was chasing behind the assassin, finally saw clearly this time, these tentacles were conjured by the phantom behind the assassin, and that phantom should be his 'potential', and he released the power of 'potential' twice in a row in such a short period of time, which must have caused a huge burden on the assassin's body.

The Assassin plunged his knife into the throat of one of the swordsmen of the guard battalion, and Surdak could hear the crusting of the Adam's apple in the distance, before snatching the swordsman's rapier from his hand and stabbing him through the chest.

The assassin's eyes were pure black, and when he opened his mouth to reveal a strange grin, a mouth full of fangs.

The other female swordsman let out a miserable and piercing scream, and her eyes showed a look of extreme horror, but unfortunately she was restrained by the black tentacles, and she could only watch the assassin pierce her throat with a thin sword, the taste of waiting for death almost made her completely collapse, and no one noticed that the female swordsman's leather armor and skirt were wet but not bloody.

The Assassin then passed the two swordsmen, who rushed to the fountain in the center of the Garden Square with the snatched spapier.

The black shadows on the two swordsmen suddenly disappeared, and their bodies were red with blood, and they fell straight to the snow, their chests pierced by the thin sword and gurgling outward.

Surdak followed the assassins, and when they reached the two swordsmen, their pupils had already begun to dilate, and there was only breath coming out of their mouths, but no breath coming in, and their chests were bleeding and foaming with blood.

Alarm whistles sounded around the Garden Square, and a group of guard battalion knights quickly came to support from all directions, Karl rode to the two swordsmen, and the members of the guard battalion behind him immediately began to treat the two swordsmen, only to see that the two swordsmen had begun to get cold, the guard camp knight stopped, held the magic healing scroll in his hand, and cursed: "Damn, it's a lackey of the Dark Arts Retreat." ’

"Catch him, life ......or death," Karl said, an armored knight beside him rushed out of the crowd and rode his horse at a faster pace.

A group of knights followed behind him, speeding towards the Assassin who had fled to the center of the Garden Square.

Two horses rushed out of the alley opposite the Garden Square, one of which was a ranger in leather armor, with a hunting bow behind him and a dagger at his waist, struggling to meet the Assassin, and the two horses rushed to the Assassin's side, without the slightest intention of slowing down, and just as the healthy horse was about to collide with the Assassin, the Assassin turned over and jumped on horseback, and rode out of the Garden Square.

Unexpectedly, the Assassin still had someone to answer, and the guards guarding the outermost part of the battalion were not able to stop him, so he rushed into the garden square, leaving only arrows along the way, and the horse also had a few arrows stuck in the back of the horse, but this did not seem to affect the horse's running speed.

Seeing that the assassin wanted to escape, the knight who rushed to the front let out a cold snort, like a muffled thunder exploding around him, and then saw that the plain armor on the knight's body appeared a magic halo, and the magic streamer circulated in the armor pattern, and a six-pointed star circle appeared under the feet of the war horse, and in the neighing of the war horse, the knight and the war horse turned into a white light.

'Charge'

Surdak saw many heavy cavalry on the battlefield using this skill en masse against the demons.

But he didn't expect this ordinary-looking armored knight to be a knight in disguise, he and his horse crashed into the assassin at high speed, and the war horse wearing a layer of armor crashed into the war horse under the assassin without any fancy fancy, only to hear a dull collision sound, the war horse under the assassin fell sideways, and the assassin on the horse took the opportunity to jump off the horse, rolled around the snow twice in embarrassment, and then staggered up from the ground and threw himself behind the bush wall on the side.

The Assassin fled in a panic, just as Surdak caught up from this side, and the Assassin saw Surdak running with a heavy tower shield in his hand, and his heart was almost completely broken at this moment, he did not want to confront a shield-wielding warrior at such a time, so he could only flee in the other direction along the bushes.

But a group of knights from the guard camp came up from all sides of the Garden Square, and farther away stood a line of longbowmen, lined up in a neat row, aiming at the Assassin from a distance.

Under the snowy night, although the Assassin's body can disappear briefly in the shadows, it cannot remain invisible forever, and after a period of stealth, it will reveal its form.

The Assassin could not outrun the knights on his feet alone, and he wanted to escape into the residential complex and use the difficult terrain to avoid the pursuers of the knights, but the companion ran ahead and saw that he was intercepted by the charge of the knights in disguise, so he rode his horse to meet him, but was stopped by a team of knights led by Karl, and now he was unable to protect himself.

The assassin was a little reluctant to dive into the shadows again, but a knight's spear suddenly stretched out from the bushes on the left, and one of the knights broke through the bushes and pointed at the assassin with a large wooden spear more than five meters long in his hand.

After a brief pause, the knight in the costume caught up again, and almost without saying a word, he swung his sword at the assassin's back.

The sword flashed......

The sharp sword cut a wound in the back of the Assassin who could not dodge, and the assassin's body seemed to lose his balance, and he threw himself on the snow in embarrassment, and he tried to get up from the ground in a hurry, but his head was cut off by the sword of the Constructed Knight who arrived from behind, and flew into the air with a half-masked head, rolling to the ground with a cavity of blood.

The knight in costume didn't look at the assassin, pulled the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and rushed to another receiver, who was obviously not as good as the assassin, he was surrounded by Carl and several other knights, with two feathered arrows stuck in his body, and the rest of the horses were also gurgling and bleeding, Karl took advantage of his companion's long sword to put his long sword on the neck of the receiver, and struck the receiver on the back of the head with the hilt of the sword, knocking him off the horse.

Someone on the side immediately turned over and dismounted, and tied the receiver firmly with an oil-soaked rope, and Karl smashed it a little hard, and the receiver fell not lightly, and is still unconscious.

"Take it back to the guard camp, pull the group of torture team out of the bed, and let them review it overnight!" The knight in costume rode on horseback, pulled out a rag to wipe the blood stains from the sword in his hand, and then inserted the sword back into its scabbard and commanded his men around him.

The knight of the guard battalion, holding the magic scroll, caught up from behind and said to the knight in disguise, "Boss, Koslin and Guy may not be able to save them. ”

The knight in costume had a gloomy face, and then said: "Take them back to the guard camp first, inform their families tomorrow morning, now we have to quickly find these rats hiding in the sewers, Carl, you go to the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Team to inform us, and say that we have killed a Dark Arts Hermitage killer here in the Garden Square, and the killer will be 'dark binding'......"

"Oh." The knight of the guard battalion hurriedly led someone to dispose of the corpse of his dead companion.

"Okay, Boss!" Karl agreed, and after saying that, he didn't stop for a moment, and left with a team of knights.

Before leaving, he still glanced at Surdak, who was standing on the outermost part of the room watching the excitement, but unfortunately Surdak didn't understand what his eyes wanted to express.

Subsequently, Surdak accepted the routine interrogation of the guard battalion, and took out his reserve knight medal to show his identity, I heard that Surdak had just retired from the plane battlefield not long ago, the face of the constructed knight suddenly eased a lot, and then I heard Surdak say that he had an identity registration in the knights, and was currently studying at the Junior Knight Academy of Highlandsa, and the last doubt on his face disappeared.

Surdak came to the assassination room of the hotel with several knights of the guard battalion who had been inspected on the spot, and the owner and the proprietress of the hotel were awakened by the sound of fighting in the room, and were standing in the messy room in their pajamas without tears, in this room a large hole was cut out of the wall, and most of the wooden bed had collapsed, and the windows of the entire room were rotten, and the cold wind and residual snow blew in from outside, so cold that the proprietress in a red silk nightdress shivered.

The knight of the Knights of the Guard Battalion said to the innkeeper: "Go to the guard camp tomorrow morning to register the losses in the hotel, don't clean up this room for the time being, maybe tomorrow the Magic Guild will come to the scene here to take a look, and you must protect the scene." ”

The innkeeper nodded in agreement, and after checking the situation on the spot, the knights of the guard battalion instructed Surdak not to spread the story of the attack tonight, and then left the hotel.

The innkeeper, the hostess, and Surdak sat on the sofa in the lounge area of the hall, and the proprietress found a blanket to wrap around her and stabbed the innkeeper next to her with her hand.

The innkeeper squeezed out a smile and greeted Surdak: "Knight Surdak, you are not injured, I see a lot of blood stains in the room." ”

Surdak touched his nose and said something against his will: "No, fortunately, the assassin doesn't seem to have any interest in me, maybe he thinks I'm not the person he's looking for." ”

He didn't want everyone in the inn to know about an assassin trying to assassinate him tomorrow morning, and the innkeeper's big mouth would be going to tell him about it.

"Your room was smashed...... the innkeeper grumbled in a low voice.

Surdak pulled out the jet-black dagger from his bosom and pushed it in front of the innkeeper, who said to the couple: "Don't worry about any losses, I think this dagger that fell in your room should be enough to make up for the cost of repairing your room, even if you replace the wooden bed, floor, doors and windows with new ones, maybe there is still a surplus, even if the assassin compensates you." ”

After saying that, he took out a gold coin from his money bag, put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and said to the innkeeper, "I have compensated you for this gold coin, and you can also hire a bricklayer to repair the walls and replace the full set of bedding and curtains." ”
