Chapter 23: An Arrow

The war crossbow known as the "Reaper" on the battlefield will be pierced in an instant when even the most defensive warriors in the human dignity rank face it. On the battlefield, a single crossbow arrow can instantly pierce through dozens of soldiers wearing heavy steel armor standing in a straight line.

This kind of war crossbow with a powerful booster is equipped with crossbow arrows forged by special materials and skilled casters, and after the crossbow arrows are made, they will also be blessed with some lethal magic and acceleration magic by gold, fire and some other auxiliary mages, and the expensive cost and powerful lethality make the major empires use them as a strategic material reserve. Like today, using three war crossbows to assassinate a puppet queen of a small kingdom was a thing that made the courtiers after Feng Yuan a little unbelievable.

A hint of coldness flashed in Shang Qing's eyes, three war crossbows had been prepared in such a short period of time, and such a luxurious assassination was not something that these courtiers of the kingdom could do.

Seeing that the three crossbow arrows were about to pierce Feng Xinyi's thin body, Qing Yi's figure finally appeared in everyone's sight, and the figure that suddenly appeared behind Feng Xinyi surprised everyone, but what was even more shocking had just arrived, Qing Yi, who showed his figure, quickly rushed around Feng Xinyi's surroundings, his hands were like dust, and without the slightest pressure, the three crossbow arrows that could make people hateful martial artists were scattered and exploded.

Stunned! Shocked! This is the reaction of all those who saw this scene!

Who is this sacred? He is actually protecting Feng Xinyi! The minds of the Wenchen generals were full of questions. Only Feng Wuxin broke out in a cold sweat in an instant after seeing this figure.

Feng Wuxin glanced at Shang Qing with difficulty, sitting on the extremely handsome puppet beast, but saw that at this moment, he had already reversed the shape of the puppet beast, and looked at the direction where the first crossbow arrow was shooting with a gloomy expression!

The attack of crossbow arrows instantly caused panic among the onlookers.

The captains of the Praetorian Guards who were on guard shouted at the same time: "Enemy attack!!Protect Your Majesty!", and thousands of Praetorian Guards quickly adjusted their formation to wrap Feng Xinyi's seat.

And the commander of the outer city guards also quickly commanded a part of the city guards to rush towards the three buildings that shot crossbow arrows.

The first bolt that suddenly appeared not only drove the two bolts behind it, but also acted like a signal flare, forcing several groups of unrelated assassins around them to attack.

More than a dozen arrows suddenly shot out from both sides of the Central Avenue, flying towards Feng Xinyi above Feng Yuan. Compared to the previous giant crossbows, these arrows looked so unbearable in front of the prepared Praetorian Guards, and the more than a dozen arrows only caused a slight injury to one steel shieldman.

In the chaotic crowd, dozens of figures wearing several different costumes also shot out at the same time, attacking Feng Xinyi on top of Feng Yuan.

Looking at the assassins who rushed to kill, the captain of the Praetorian Guard, he shouted: "Meet the enemy!!"

The Praetorian Guards, who had lined up in formation, clenched their weapons tightly again, and shouted at the same time: "Drink!"

Before the words could be spoken, the cavalry, scattered around the protective layer, raised their halberds and charged at the attacking Assassins.

With a "ding" sound, a knight's halberd was deflected by a weapon in the hands of an assassin, and the spurs of the cavalry without acceleration assistance could not bring much impact to these assassins at all, and the blades had just intersected for a moment, dozens of cavalrymen were cut down under the horse, and the blood spilled from the severed limbs, and the terrible hoarse sound made by the golden-scaled horse fall to the ground and roll, which instantly made the area darker.

The captain of the guard frowned at the cavalry that quickly fell to the ground, and he hurriedly stopped the subsequent cavalry advance, and instead sent hundreds of light infantry towards the surrounding Assassins.

However, the light infantry did not make the situation any better, and the soldiers fell to the ground one by one in exchange for minor injuries from the skilled assassins. At this moment, all the generals had joined the battle, and they were pretending to face the enemy, doing more to protect themselves than to stop these assassins.

The sword and shield men who surrounded the phoenix were already in battle formation, waiting for the assassins who were about to break through the defense line of the light infantry and knights. The mages standing in the inner layer did not have any reservations to bless the auxiliary magic and protective magic on these sword and shield hands, and these sword and shield hands wearing heavy armor were already the last layer of defense for Her Majesty.

The whining sound sounded again, and I saw the sky in the distance, several boulders emitting heat fell from the sky and smashed towards the tightly lined swords and shields, and the magicians hidden in the distance launched an attack. Dozens of Praetorian Guard mages looked at the boulders falling from the sky, and immediately joined forces to chant incantations, only to see that a wave like water waves instantly rushed away from below, facing several boulders.

With a "boom", the water waves and the boulder burst out at the same time, and the magic chanted by dozens of high-level mages was only enough to block this magic attack. The faces of several Praetorian Guard mages instantly turned a little pale.

The captain of the Praetorian Guard, tearing his throat, pointed to the far side of the road with the weapon in his hand, and shouted hoarsely: "Southeast, 700 meters apart, free shooting!!"

The sound of swishing dense arrows instantly came to mind, and the hundred archers who were hiding behind the sword and shield hands with the mages pulled their bowstrings! At this moment, the Praetorian Guards no longer cared about the people fleeing in the distance, and they had to break up their rhythm before the enemy mages launched a second round of attacks, at least to delay their attacks, so that their own mages could breathe for a while.

Feng Xinyi looked at the soldiers around her who were constantly dying, and she asked Qing Yi a little impatiently, "Why didn't Shang Qing make a move!"

However, before her words could fall, only a "poof" sound was heard, and the first assassin who crossed in front of the sword and shield hand array, the moment he made contact with the Praetorian Guard, an arrow shining with black light instantly pierced his body, and the rapid arrow did not slow down in the slightest, and ran towards the other assassin in a half-moon arc. The second assassin, looking at the attacking arrow, was just about to swing his weapon to block it, but found that a line of blood gushed out in front of his eyes......

The arrows that pierced through the two assassins in an instant, and after bringing a blood line from the body of the second assassin, suddenly burst open, splitting into more than a dozen fragments, and the fragments flew towards the nearest assassin as if consciously.

This stunning attack finally caught the attention of all the Assassins, and they did not hesitate to turn on their strongest defensive skills, and their eyes widened as they stared closely at the shards rushing towards them......

With a "poof", when the fragments of the arrow flew halfway, they suddenly transformed into people in black with hidden faces. In the hands of these black-clothed men, each carrying a seemingly sleepy person. A miraculous arrow brought out more than a dozen people in black, and while everyone was stunned, their brains were also running rapidly.
