1562. Assassination
When sailing in the troposphere on a magic airship, the most beautiful night view is to look up at the starry sky.
For ordinary people, the starry sky of Handanaar County is no different from the night sky of Bena Province, but for a navigator, the night needs to determine the direction of the course according to the star map.
Commoners can only enjoy the silence of the night from the deck, while the nobles can sit on the benches on the observation deck on the roof of the ship, and the crew will also provide some free drinks, but you will have to pay for them if you want to drink high-end drinks.
Although the air in the air troposphere is very windy, it is not cold in this season, and after rising into the air troposphere, it will not be bothered by any mosquitoes.
Casual ladies and ladies wore off-the-shoulder evening gowns, some accompanied by male companions, others sat down with their girlfriends......
In fact, there were many ladies on the ship's floor who made this trip to Epson City after learning that the Lord of Surdak had returned home alone, and they hoped that the famous general who had swept away the demon legions in northern Handanar would be able to take a fancy to one of them because of the loneliness of the journey, which might make the trip very romantic.
But what surprised the ladies and ladies was ...... The magic airship sailed in the airtroposphere for three days and three nights, and the commander of the Western Route Army did not even take half a step out of the luxurious cabin.
There were even many people on the ship who wondered if the commander of the Western Route Army had other habits and did not like to play cards, drink, or date......
For a nobleman, such a life is simply too boring.
The nobles had recently commented on the Surdak Lord's habits when they talked about him, and most of the nobles preferred that the Surdak Lord had some agreement with the Marquis of Luther, and the Commander was very careful in this regard due to Hathaway's presence.
At night, the sails on the three main masts of the magic airship are lowered by a third.
When the speed slows down, the crew can rest peacefully at night, with only a few crew members on duty on the mast on deck.
You can faintly hear the shouting of cards playing in the cabin, the crew quarters are three levels below deck, and below that is the luggage compartment of the magic airship and the place where supplies are stored.
Compared to the cozy and quiet of the aristocratic quarters, the plebeian quarters are more lively, and the cabins are full of smells......
Two crew members dressed in engineer costumes stepped out of the cabin on the third floor, their clothes were stained with some engine oil, but their faces and hands were very clean, even their beards were neatly trimmed, and their leather boots looked a little out of place in this crew costume.
Fortunately, it was night, and the two of them walked close to the darker light, and when they passed through the deck, they also said hello to several crew members, and then entered the aristocratic area through the staff passage.
There are four flotation devices on the side of the ship, and the engineer is responsible for checking the operation of these magic devices.
However, after entering the aristocratic quarter, the two engineers obviously did not go to the flotation device, but directly entered the first floor of the ship.
There were only two nobles in the corridor, and when they walked into the cabin with their female companions in their arms, the two engineers took the opportunity to burrow into a general cargo compartment on the first floor of the ship, and when they came out of the general warehouse again, they were transformed into two nobles with swords at their waists.
Ascending to the second floor of the ship, the rooms here are only qualified to be lived in by some nobles of status.
Surdak's room is at the end of the hallway, and it is one of the best rooms in the whole magic airship, and you can sit in the room and enjoy the most beautiful night view of the airship.
The two walked straight to the end of the hallway......
By this time, most of the nobles had already gone back to their rooms to rest.
The two stood in the doorway for a moment, and when they saw that there was no one in the hallway, one of them took a magic dagger from his lap and plunged it into the crack of the hatch like cutting tofu.
With a 'click', the metal deadbolt was easily cut off by a magic dagger.
Almost immediately, the two pushed the door open, and then closed the hatch, leaving the luxurious room in total darkness with all the curtains drawn.
The two men walked into the cabin and quickly melted into the darkness of the cabin......
Everything in the living room didn't seem to have moved, the long sword was already in his hand, and the smell of magic flowed from his body.
One stood guard at the door, and the other pushed the door and walked into the bedroom.
The bed was a little messy, it looked like there was a person lying down, but it didn't feel any breath.
At this time, the two of them held their breath almost at the same time and stopped......
The two looked at each other in the darkness, their eyes filled with wonder why he wasn't in the cabin.
Then the two of them didn't hesitate, turned around and were about to walk out......
Just beside the closet near the curtain, a void door appeared silently in the darkness, and when Surdak came out of it, he even held a candlestick in his hand, and the candlelight lit up the bedroom.
The two men who were about to leave were revealed in the candlelight.
The moment he saw Surdak appear, one of them had a blazing magical glow circulating on his body, and the 'Demon Serpent's Fang' magic pattern structure showed a magnificent pattern, and the crimson long sword in his hand lit up with a dazzling white light, and the man and the sword were wrapped in white light, turning into a sword that stabbed at Surdak.
Almost without warning, half of Surdak's foot was still inside the Void Gate, and the sword qi that the constructed swordsman had turned into had already sliced into his chest.
A silver crusader shield of light instantly appeared on Surdak's chest, followed by a four-squared shield of blessing.
The sword qi stabbed on the light shield and dissipated in an instant, and the scattered sword qi smashed the curtains and wooden wardrobes beside Surdak, bursting into a sound of gold and iron......
Surdak didn't expect the swordsman to be so decisive, and although he was well prepared, he still didn't have time to put on a defensive posture.
However, the swordsman was a little hasty, and the blow failed to pierce the 'Holy Shield' on his body.
In the next second, Surdak threw the candlestick out, and then swung the gold shield in his other hand and slammed it into the swordsman's chest.
The swordsman's body was almost wearing an afterimage, showing the catkins floating in mid-air, flying away against the shield, and the long sword in his hand cut against the edge of the shield and cut into Surdak's right arm, and when the long sword slashed past the edge of the shield, it even flew a series of sparks.
Just when the swordsman thought that the sword would be able to cut into Surdak's arm, the shield that Surdak swung out disappeared out of thin air, and almost at the same time as it disappeared, the constructed swordsman felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his body involuntarily flew backwards.
The impact of the shield caused the swordsman to stiffen......
The swordsman who rushed behind did not help his companion, but while taking a side step to avoid it, the magic pattern circle lit up under his feet, and in a short spell, the phantom of the long sword enveloped Surdak's whole body like a streamer.
At this moment, Surdak felt that he was in a sword array, pulled by the murderous aura of the swordsman on the opposite side, his legs were like a lead sinker tied, and he couldn't retreat at all, so he could only raise his shield again.
One after another, the remnants of sword qi stabbed the shield, and Surdak only felt as if he had been struck with a heavy hammer on the golden shield.
Where the golden shield couldn't be stopped, those sword qi remnants actually left sword marks on his 'Sheft Stebu' armor, and he only felt a slight coldness on his face, and he was actually cut out of a wound by the sharp sword qi.
Having comprehended some of the laws of space on the Warsaw plane, Surdak felt that even those demon generals could not have injured him.
This is also the reason why he returned to the magic airship through the Void Gate, he thought that he had such confidence, but he didn't expect his body to move backwards half a step out of thin air, and he was also decorated with a golden shield to block, and he could still be injured by the sword qi......
And the aura of the constructed swordsman on the other side turned out to be like a fierce sword mountain.
Without any words, Surdak felt that the strength possessed by that swordsman was definitely not possessed by a second-turn powerhouse, because this blow and thrust contained the law of the sword, making him unable to retreat and dodge in the realm of the sword formation.
According to Yinsel and Elder Ambrobie, he held the 'realm' in the Warsaw plane, and his strength was almost equivalent to half a foot stepping into the ranks of the Third Rank Grandmaster......
And for the paladins who hold the shield, the swordsman is naturally restrained among the warriors.
As soon as they fought, they were almost stabbed into a screen by this constructed swordsman......
The one on the other side was actually a three-turn great sword master, and Surdak hurriedly pulled out the sword of Kurwin.
The glass window behind him had been shattered by the fierce sword qi, and a large hole appeared behind him, and the night wind blew in, and the broken curtains flew with the wind.
The menorah went out when it landed on the floor of the room, and only the faint light from outside the cabin shone into the room.
And the sudden sound of fighting also instantly disturbed the civilians on the deck of the magic airship who had not rested, and some civilians were even scratched by the broken glass of sawdust that shot out.
The crew members who were on vigil also looked at the place where the noise broke out on the second floor of the ship.
The sharp edge that erupted from the great sword master's body was like a huge sword mountain formed by the accumulation of countless sword qi, and the long sword in his hand stabbed again, instantly pulling countless sword qi on the sword mountain, pressing towards Surdak......
The gold-decorated shield in Surdak's hand immediately formed a thick wall, and countless sword blades cracked against the shield wall, immediately causing the shield to gap, and one after another sword qi swept past him, and the huge impact pushed him out of the luxurious cabin, and several blood marks appeared on his face and hands.
If it weren't for this epic shield, Surdak felt that he might be torn to pieces by these fierce sword qi at this moment.
And the great swordsman was also bitter at this time, every time he approached Surdak for half a step, his body was like being put on a shackle, and with his ability, he couldn't break free from this invisible bondage.
Just when Surdak was about to lose his hold, an angelic phantom appeared behind him, and the pure white light wings on the angel's body wrapped Surdak like a silkworm cocoon, allowing him to block the sharp blow.
The constructed swordsman behind him, who was knocked back by Surdak with his shield, also took the opportunity to stab Surdak's left leg from the side, although the long sword in his hand failed to turn into countless afterimages, but the sword qi was as fast as lightning.
Surdak was completely suppressed by the three-turn great swordsman in the front, and he couldn't dodge the assassination of this constructed swordsman at all, and Surdak only had time to turn sideways......
The sword light easily broke through the angel's light wings and stabbed Surdak in the left leg with precision, cutting the dagger bandage on the outside of his pants and leaving an extremely deep wound on his leg.
Taking advantage of Surdak's slight distraction, the Great Swordsman's sword mountain pressed Surdak and made him fall on the deck of the airship in embarrassment.
Several civilians who had no time to dodge were strangled by the fierce sword qi, and blood was suddenly splashed on the deck.
This is the first time Surdak has tried to use the domain since he comprehended the realm, but he was forced by the great swordsman on the opposite side to be in danger, and the breath of black magic appeared in the cabin, and a death ray shot out from the cabin, just falling on Surdak's side, and the constructed swordsman hurriedly and flexibly avoided it.
The ray of death cut a deep trail across the deck and chased after the constructed swordsman.
A low spell emanated from the cabin, and there was a drowsy aura in the darkness.
The sound of fighting that broke out in an instant here had already disturbed the people on the deck and the observation deck.
Some of the crew members rushed towards this direction with weapons in hand.
From the observation deck at the top of the ship, two nobles with long swords jumped down, but the two nobles only had the strength of a swordsman, and they couldn't get close to the battlefield here.
Captain Matthew also ran out of the captain's cabin with a group of crew members, all armed with standard repeaters.
Crossbow arrows brushed past the Great Swordsman, and although none of them hit him, they succeeded in stopping his pursuit.
Even the Demon Hunter Heavy Crossbow on the bow of the ship was steering the crew and aimed towards the Great Swordsman.
The great swordsman was still thinking about slashing another sword, but he found that there were already many people on the deck looking at him, and in the midst of the fierce crossbow arrows, he shouted to the constructed swordsman behind him who was forced back by the death ray: "Let's go......"
After saying that, the two of them almost didn't hesitate, and jumped onto the side of the magic airship and jumped down from a height of several kilometers......
The nobles on the Magic Airship Observation Deck and the civilians on the deck all let out an exclamation.
No one thought that their escape method was to jump off the airship, and at this moment, a black figure riding a magic handle flew out of Surdak's cabin, and everyone saw that her face was covered with a Mithril mask, and the black shadow had already flown into the night sky, and a huge eyeball disappeared into the night after her.
Surdak actually wanted to call Aphrodite back, after all, the other party was a great swordsman, and he was worried that it would be dangerous to chase him out like this.
It's just that he fell on the deck of the airship, the wound on his left leg was still bleeding, and his body was emitting a surging holy light, although no treatment was performed, the wound still healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He struggled to get up from the ground, still carrying a gold shield in his hand.
Captain Matthew, frightened to the death of Lord Surdak, and he and his crew quickly took control of the airship deck and drove the civilians on deck back to the cabin below.
Surdak glanced down at the wound that had stopped bleeding, and there was a cut in his pants, which he estimated would have cost a lot of money to repair......
He said to Captain Matthew, who had arrived, "The walls of the cabin need to be repaired." ”
After speaking, he walked to the civilian lying in a pool of blood, and seeing that he still had a faint breath, he condensed a ball of holy light in his hand.
