Joseph Conrad failed to hit the groom in the head.

When he saw the empty seats in front of the carriage, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Aware of the danger, the young nobleman instinctively wanted to jump out of the carriage to avoid the danger that came from nowhere, but he was afraid to break his leg by jumping from the galloping carriage.

Joseph Conrad, who had most of his body leaning out of the car, tried to retract his body, but he never thought that someone had launched a surprise attack on him on the roof of the car.

Just an inch away, a short stick that flashed and danced with blue arcs grazed the top of the young nobleman's head, leaving a pinprick in his skin.

Frightened, he threw off his cane and quickly hid in the carriage, like a turtle sensing danger and shrunk its head into its shell.

He knew that the person who attacked him at this moment was on the roof of the carriage, and the thrilling encounter that he had never had before since his birth made a cold sweat roll down the young nobleman's forehead.

Did you crawl there while you were bumpy......

The unpiloted horses were still jogging with the memory of the city's roads, but their speed had slowed down significantly.

Sooner or later, the confusion of losing the groom's control would slow them to stop, and Joseph Conrad guessed that was probably the time for the enemy on the roof of the car to make a move.

Maybe sooner......

"Lord Viscount!"

The shouts of his guards were heard like heaven to the young nobleman whose hearts were already filled with fear.

"I'm here!" He replied loudly, "Get that damn assassin down there!" ”

The anxious guards in the second carriage did not want to fulfill their duty to protect their employers, but the movements of the girl on the roof of the carriage made them dare not act rashly.

A great sword, a well-made enchanted greatsword was in her hand, the tip of the sword pointing straight to the location of Joseph Conrad below.

The leather rope that tied the girl's hair was broken at some point, and her long hair was scattered in the wind to cover her facial features, making it difficult to see.

She was half-kneeling on the roof of the carriage, as if she was about to give in to the guards who were eyeing her, but she held the enchanted greatsword that could have killed Joseph Conrad.

As a result, the actual posture of the two sides was reversed.

"What do you want? As long as we don't hurt the adult in the carriage, we can discuss. ”

The leader of the guards tried to negotiate with the girl on the roof of the car, but the latter seemed to ignore his words.

Fortunately, the unmanned carriage finally stopped at the corner of the street not long after, and the guards on the second carriage also breathed a sigh of relief, scattered into a semi-encircled formation and slowly advanced forward.

They had just witnessed the whole process of this female assassin appearing and attacking, and they were not very sure that they wanted to contain her, not to mention that there was a Viscount as a hostage.

The best option at the moment was to stall for time, presumably by this time their companions were already on their way with reinforcements, and the garrison in Portugalette would certainly not sit idly by.

At this moment, some of the guards began to sneer secretly.

For the female Assassin, the current situation can be described as difficult to ride a tiger.

The latter must also know that the possibility of snatching the Viscount from under the noses of these guards is close to zero.

The guards watched her slowly raise the big sword in her hand, probably to retract the scabbard behind her back and turn around and run away? Or do you want to give it a go with them?

Joseph Conrad, who was trembling in the carriage, didn't know what was happening outside the carriage, his underwear was already soaked with cold sweat, and he didn't see the guards come forward to help him for a long time, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and curse:

"What are you all waiting for? The Assassins are up there! Lord Ben spends so much gold every year to raise you useless dogs! ”

These unceremonious insulting words were no less effective than a resounding slap in the face to the guards, but they still maintained their previous strategy, only slightly retracting the encirclement.

Seeing that there was still no movement outside the carriage, Joseph Conrad scolded more and more ugly, and the faces of the guards became more and more ugly with the passage of time.

"Fuck, I'm not his Conrad's dog." A young guard muttered with a low face, "What do you think you do for a few gold coins?" If you scold Lao Tzu again, it's a big deal to go home and farm......"

"There is no need to say such stupid words, if something really goes wrong with this noble lord today, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around."

The leader of the guards rubbed the hilt of his sword, scolded softly, and continued to stare at the girl on the roof of the car.

"Asking for money? Seeking revenge? Or something else, at least you can tell us about your appeal, holding a nobleman of status hostage will cause you and your family a lot of trouble, and if you turn around and leave now, we can act as if nothing has happened. The leading guard spoke in a calm and gentle voice as much as possible: "Don't be impulsive, can we all take a step back first, for example, you put away your weapons first, and I will ask my companions to take ten steps back before talking?" ”

The girl who raised the big sword looked indifferent, shook her head, and rejected the negotiation offer.

The leading guards naturally had no intention of negotiating seriously, and when he spoke, two people had already sneaked into the sides of the carriage.

There was a blind spot in the sight of the female assassin on the roof of the car, and all it needed was the lead guard to send a signal, and they would all fight in unison.

Even if you can't capture the former, at least there is no problem in rescuing Joseph Conrad.

Two fierce guards from a slightly farther away quietly took their positions.

The leading guard, who was still gently consoling the female assassin on the roof of the car to put down her weapons, waved her hand, and the two people who had been lying in ambush on both sides of the carriage jumped up almost simultaneously, and two long knives slashed horizontally from the front and back, threatening to cut off the girl's hand holding the sword along with her legs.

The guard on the left hand of the carriage was better at skill and skill, and his knife was faster, and while the other man's knife was still halfway, his blade was only a millimeter away from cutting through the delicate and smooth skin of the girl's forearm......

But that's about it.

The next moment, a fireball exploded in his face, and the force of the explosion sent him backwards, and the long knife flew out of his hand, and the back of his head slammed into the sharp corners of the paving slab.

The other didn't succeed either.

The female assassin who held the big sword with one hand used the "Su Qin Negative Sword" that did not exist in this world to block what should have been a lore with the broad body of the big sword, and then raised her hand and fired a fireball, forcing the guards who had to defend with horizontal knives off the roof of the car.

It's still a magician.

The leader of the guards clenched his right hand with his weapon, and continued to grit his teeth.

At such a close distance, I was hit in the head by such a fireball......

Not surprisingly, the raider's companion must have died.
