Chapter 31: Ambush and Sniping
Magicians are undoubtedly the most noble profession on the Magic Sword Continent, but magicians are not omnipotent, and there are many things that are not suitable for magicians to do due to the limitations of physical strength, so many noble mages will raise a group of "apostles", that is, servants who specialize in doing things for themselves.
The Night Wolf is an organization that specializes in training apostles, who serve the court mages of the Beast Empire, and Cecil, as the chief court mage, is their immediate superior.
Every Night Wolf Apostle is a good hand, and his strength is at least a mid-level swordsman, and he is proficient in infiltrating, assassinating, poisoning, and stealing secrets, they are not only helpers for the court mages, but also an important killer force in the empire! Cecil mobilized a whole team of Night Wolf Apostles to come this time, obviously he was really moved.
"Chang An, you pretend to be sick and want to lure me out, and then use tricks against me before I recover? How can I be fooled by such a childish trick?" In the night, Cecil stood far away from Chang An's residence and quietly observed the movements in the room, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer.
With Cecil raising his hand to make a special gesture, the action officially began!
There were five Night Wolf Apostles in a team, and except for one captain who served as the commander of the operation, the other four also performed their own duties. I saw an apostle in a black tight leather coat come to the edge of the small building where Chang'an lived, put his hands on the wall, and then fell down the wall silently like a gecko!
In the blink of an eye, the apostle climbed up to the window, pried open a small slit and peeked inside, and then made a normal gesture to his companion who was still downstairs. The other four immediately rushed to the main entrance of the small building.
"Click~" The door lock was directly pried open by a delicate **, and the night wolf apostle who was the first to walk into the door had not yet crossed the threshold, his eyes had already swept around the house, and he made a gesture behind him - no traps, safe!
Two cloaked night wolf apostles armed with bows and crossbows, after entering the house, they immediately occupied a favorable attack position and included the whole room in the range of support, and a man in black pulled out a short sword, and came to Chang'an's door with a cat's waist, and before he could open the door, the door opened from the inside, and it was the apostle who began to climb the wall to come in behind the door. It's just that his face is not very good at the moment.
"The man is gone. The first apostle to enter the room frowned, and he stepped aside, only to see that everything in the room was well arranged, not like what had happened, except for the bed where Chang An should have slept, but at this time only the quilt was spread on it.
"Has the news of the operation leaked?" or ......" The leader of the apostles looked around, and there was no light source in the room, only a little starlight through the window, and it was difficult to see anything in the darkness. I just vaguely saw something standing in the center of the room, saying that it was a pillar but it was too thin, right?
The leader of the apostles winked, and the other apostle took out a night pearl from a pouch on his waist, which did not shine very brightly, but it was enough for these good hands with excellent night vision to see the things in the room. But it didn't matter what they looked at, and when they saw the appearance of the "pillar" standing in the center of the room, they collectively gasped.
What kind of pillar was stuck in the floor in the center of the room? It was clearly a long knife with a blood-red body!
"How is that possible?!" the leader of the Apostles couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"This ...... Is this a divine sword?"
The two apostles in the room glanced at each other, and they both saw incredible looks in each other's eyes. It really took no effort to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to find them, as the treasure of the Zou Mansion Town, the All Slashing Divine Knife has disappeared since the attack that day, and Lord Cecil has personally launched a search spell but has not been able to find the slightest breath of slashing, it turns out to be here!
Such an important artifact was still left in this room, but Chang'an was nowhere to be found. At this moment, a ridiculous thought could not help but pop up in the minds of the two apostles - that guy must have just gotten up and peed, right?
Before the apostles could think about it, Cecil's majestic voice suddenly appeared in their minds: "The goal of the action has changed, now the first task is to recover the divine sword and kill it, and execute it immediately!"
"Yes!"
After receiving Cecil's magical transmission, the leader of the apostles no longer hesitated, and walked directly forward to reach out to grasp the hilt of the sword. However, before his fingertips could touch the hilt, a strong killing intent suddenly poured into his mind, making his consciousness suddenly blank!
"Just wait, you are not qualified to touch my body!"
The leader of the apostles heard an angry voice in a trance, and in the next second, the arm he stretched out to cut off suddenly exploded!
It is not appropriate to say that it is bursting, at that moment, the muscles on the entire arm turned into countless strands of flesh, and peeled off from the bones! In the next second, there were only a few white bones left in the right hand of the apostle leader, and there was not even a trace of flesh on the white bones, only a few tendons were connected, I am afraid that Ku Ding would not be able to cut it so clean in his second life......
The leader of the apostles stared at his boneless arm, which had all happened so fast that he didn't even feel the pain.
"Ah!!h
"Poor child. Chang An looked through the scope at the apostle leader's frightened screaming and rolling appearance, and couldn't help but want to help him end this pain, but unfortunately, according to his plan, this person still has the value of continuing to use.
As early as Dongfang Wing left, Chang An followed him out of his residence and set up a sniper rifle at the top of another small building across the street. He was cloaked in a cloak of concealment, and it was difficult for Cecil to find out where he was hiding, and the bullet fired from the muzzle of the gun passed through the window of his dwelling, just enough to reach the place where the Apostle leader was standing......
"The show begins!" Chang An grimly aimed the crosshair at the body of the apostle leader, and then slowly pulled the trigger.
The glow of the "Chirp ......" magic flashed through the barrel of the sniper rifle and absorbed most of the sound of the primer exploding. This is also the result of Chang'an's enchantment research, which acts as a silencer by applying magic to the gun, making it impossible for people to find his location through the sound of gunshots.
Bullets flew silently out of the barrel, through the windows, into the room, and all the way to the apostolic leader...... And the leader of the apostles was still suffering from the separation of his arms, not even noticing that a new danger had arrived!
"Boom!" A dazzling light burst out from the warhead, and the moment the bullet hit the target, the enchantment on the warhead also followed, and a large cloud of flames engulfed the body of the apostle leader in an instant!
"Ahh
After all, the leader of the apostles is a high-level swordsman's cultivation, with strong physical fitness and fighting spirit, and he actually survived such a blow, but this state is already worse than death, and he fainted not long after screaming.
"Boss!" The other apostle in the room saw the tragic situation of the leader, and was about to rush forward to rescue with a loud roar, but the killer's astuteness made him alert when he ran to the window, and immediately drew his short sword, which was already covered with a layer of gray fighting energy.
"A little bit of a skill. Chang An commented in a flat tone, and then directly locked the crosshair onto the apostle's eyebrows! After thinking about it, he moved the crosshair down a little more.
The speed of the bullet was so fast that the apostle couldn't tell when the bullet would fly from where, but the sense of crisis made him directly raise the short sword in his hand upward, and the blade of the sword was just in the way of the bullet's flight!
"Bell!" The powerful impact force carried by the warhead directly broke the steel short sword made by the dwarven tribe into two!
The apostle was shocked, and immediately used his fighting energy to prepare to resist the attack, but the impact of the bullet itself and the power of the flame explosion attached to the bullet were even more terrifying......
"Boom!" the explosion pushed the apostle's body out of the air, and landed right next to the leader of the apostle, who was a little more lucky than his boss and was not mortally injured, but half of his body was already useless, and he was completely incapacitated.
"Two, Three, go find the attackers! I'll save them!" As early as the first bullet maimed the leader of the Apostles, the three Apostles who remained outside the room and stood by immediately went into action, but all this happened too quickly, and when the three of them rushed into the room, the two inside were already lying on the ground.
"Coming back?" Chang An watched through the scope as another man in black peeked out of front of the window, and unceremoniously aimed at the crosshairs!
"Chirp-"
"Bang!" the third apostle fell to the ground.
At the same time, an apostle armed with a bow and crossbow flipped onto the roof, his senses of sight, smell, and hearing were far more sensitive than those of ordinary people, and he had been trained to counter enemy archers. He deduced Chang An's general location from the angle of the shot at the first time, but ......
As he stood on the roof, his eyes searching for the hiding place he had deduced, he found no trace of a living person in the night. And he himself has leaked under Chang An's gun.
"Boom!" the force of the explosion of the enchanted warhead exploded a large hole in the roof, and the Apostle, whose legs had been blown off, fell into the house in embarrassment, lying down with his companions.
In less than a minute, there were already four Night Wolf Apostles lying in the room!
Rao is these elite night wolf apostles, and they can't resist the power of the enchanted bullets shot by sniper rifles! However, Chang An didn't hit them with a single shot, leaving everyone with a breath of relief.
And the reason for doing this, of course, is not because Chang Anxin is soft and doesn't want to kill.
"Don't ...... Come again......" The leader of the Apostles, who had only one breath left, opened his mouth with difficulty, and said to the only one in his team who was still active a few paces away.
"Damn!" the only remaining Night Wolf Apostle let out a roar of rage, and he still didn't know where the enemy who had nearly wiped them out was hiding. He also knew that the leader was right, as long as he took one step further, he would follow in the footsteps of his companions, and then they would have to lie on the ground together and wait for death.
But he was not reconciled! They were the night wolf apostles who were born to kill! They were the only ones who assassinated, ambushed, and tortured others, when did others torture them so badly?
"Let us go!" the last apostle shouted out of the window, "This time we admit it, we give up the mission!
No one answered him......
The apostle gritted his teeth, suddenly took off his black cloak, and threw it in the direction of the window!
The wide cloak unfurled in the air, instantly covering the entire window, and the movement inside the house could no longer be seen from the outside. The Apostle picked up the leader's charred body and was about to run back, but just then, a bullet suddenly pierced the cloak and shot into the room!
"Bang!" the magic attached to the warhead exploded, but this time it was no longer a fire, but a piercing chill!
"Brush, brush, brush!" Countless tiny ice spikes splashed into all corners of the room with the spinning warhead like a goddess scattering flowers, without any dead ends!
The apostle didn't even have a chance to dodge, and his hands and feet were pierced by countless ice spikes, completely incapacitating him.
Despair spread in the hearts of the five people in the room......
