Chapter 023 (Unexpected News)

Deep in the woods, the thick foliage of the dense branches blocked the silvery moonlight. In the dim bushes, Roy hid on a tree pole with a keel bow on his back, carefully watching for the wind and grass around him, and he heard the sound of something moving in the nearby grass.

The sound was getting closer, and the swing of the grass on the opposite side was becoming more and more obvious. Roy leaned against the pole and held his breath, lurking motionlessly to observe. After a few breaths, he saw a large snake come out of the grass with a large wriggling body. Roy remembered the big snake, and it was this twenty-foot-long green-skinned bone-eating snake that appeared outside Salt Town.

Roy stared at the large viper in the grass opposite, and with a light movement, he removed the keel longbow behind him, and then reached out to touch the arrow in the quiver. Just as he was about to open the bowstring with the arrow, the serpent quickly moved and disappeared into the darkness.

Roy frowned, and rolled his eyes to search for the big viper. By the time he could react, the serpent had coiled up the pole and swooped down on him.

In a panic, in order to avoid the venom spit out by the large poisonous snake, Roy was forced to retreat and his body fell to the ground.

In an instant, without warning, a sharp sword struck from behind him, and the sharp blade sank into his back in the blink of an eye, and bright red blood oozed from the wound.

Roy endured the pain and leapt forward, breaking free from the blade that had stabbed him inside. Then he quickly turned around, drew the dagger from his waist and assumed a fighting stance.

When the one-eyed man saw that the surprise attack was successful, he hurriedly followed up a few steps and stabbed away with his sword.

Roy couldn't dodge, and in a hurry, he raised the keel bow in his left hand to block it. Bones as hard as stone collided with razor-sharp steel with a screeching sound.

The one-eyed man's sword slashed out a curling blade, while the dragon bow in Roy's hand remained intact. It's a real dragon's backbone, and it's far stronger than ordinary steel. The scorching flame can melt steel, but it can't shatter the keel.

The green-skinned snake on the pole of the tree pounced on him from a height of tens of feet, and the one-eyed man took the opportunity to swing a fierce attack at him with the long sword in his hand. Roy was strongly suppressed by the coordinated attack of one man and one snake, and he was about to be defeated.

Suddenly, dozens of thin ice picks flew from the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, these ice picks burrowed into the body of the big poisonous snake.

Then a huge blue flame suddenly appeared in the air, and the scorching flames fell straight down, smashing into the large poisonous snake, and the ferocious flames struck its whole body. In a moment's breath, the entire body of the great viper was burned into a pile of scorched flesh emitting black smoke by the flames.

In the light of the fire, Brant's figure appeared in front of them, an extra flaming sword in his hand. Glia stood beside him with her dagger in her hand, her face still cold.

The one-eyed man's face suddenly became surprised, and he looked at the familiar face opposite, his mind full of questions. But he was more worried about his own safety at the moment.

Brant raised the flaming sword in his hand and swung it at the one-eyed man opposite, and the blue flames that wrapped around the sword body shook away with the sword body.

The one-eyed man raised his sword to block it, and with a bang, the sword in his hand was cut in two. The blazing blade struck his right shoulder. The blade slashed into the blade of his shoulder, and the flames scorched the flesh of his shoulder. A heart-rending pain came from his shoulder, forcing the one-eyed man to wail in pain. The hand with which he held the sword was gone, and Brant's sword had severed his skull.

Brant drew back his blade and put the flaming sword in his spellbook. Then he whispered a mantra, only to see sharp spikes rise from the ground, and the spikes trapped the one-eyed man's body. As long as the one-eyed man moved his body slightly, he was pierced by the thrusts that would be close at hand.

"Don't move," Brandt warned him sharply, "or these spikes will tie you into a hornet's nest." ”

"Grya, why are you next to him?" the one-eyed man hissed and questioned his subordinates, "You told him that I am here?" He originally planned to hide in the woods and secretly observe the other party's tracks, but he did not expect to be discovered by the other party.

"She's no longer your subordinate, it's mine. Brandt reminded him.

"Why is that?" his face turned pale, and blood bubbled from the corners of his mouth.

"Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid?" Roy sneered, clutching his wounds. He was negligent for a moment and did not find the assassin hiding in the shadows, so he succeeded in sneaking up on him from behind.

"Grya, you actually betrayed the organization," the one-eyed man glared at the other party, "and you don't worry about the consequences?"

Expressionless, Glia stood beside Brant without saying a word, she knew very well what the consequences would be, but she didn't care. She has a new understanding of the adults in front of her, and Brant has skills that are beyond her predictions. If it's a head-to-head duel, he can't be his opponent at all. Especially the magic sword, which is even more powerful.

"Are you trying to scare her?" Roy sneered with disdain, "Don't you think you should consider your situation?"

"Sue me who is behind the scenes, and I will let you go. Brandt reminded him sharply, "After thinking clearly, the answer is up to you whether to die or live." He changed his usual tone, and he needed to intimidate the other party.

"I don't know who's behind the scenes. The one-eyed man replied truthfully. His position in the assassination organization was not high enough to be able to know the identity of his employer. He was only one of the seven minor leaders in the assassination organization who were responsible for carrying out the assassination plan like him.

Brandt flicked his fingers, and several spikes flew upwards before plunging into the one-eyed man's body.

The one-eyed man screamed in pain, "Ahhh Wait until I'm done. ”

"I know the names that were put on the assassination list this time. His voice was a little hurried.

"Does it have anything to do with me?" Brant asked.

"Almost all of the people on the list of assassinations are members of the Islamic family. "The one-eyed man can't care so much, this secret will be made public sooner or later, and he just told it in advance. For him, saving his life is the most important thing.

Brant's face froze, and he said stiffly, "I'll let you go, but as punishment, I must take your other eye." He waved his hand, and in the blink of an eye, a spike pierced the one-eyed man's right eye. Brant then disables the spell, turning the spikes that trapped the one-eyed man into dirt.

The one-eyed man was now completely a cripple, blind in both eyes, and the hand holding the sword was unconscious. He could no longer be an Assassin, not even a normal person. Even if the one-eyed man became a blind man and one of his hands was gone, he didn't want to die.

It was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't tell the direction, and he dragged his mutilated body in one direction, slowly moving his steps and leaving.

The more desperate a person's situation is, the stronger their desire to survive.

At this time, Brandt's shocked face was revealed, he did not expect such news to make him tremble and fear. The real targets of this assassination organization will be his grandfather, uncle, Gavin and Cousin Jensen. Who has such a deep hatred with my grandfather that he has to eradicate the entire Islamic family.

A sweaty Knight Quentin panted beside Brant. He was wearing a heavy set of armor, and it was not easy to catch up here at this time. He took a deep breath before speaking, "Your Excellency, you shouldn't leave the camp alone. ”

At this moment, Brandt's mind was full of his grandfather and uncle, and he wondered if the assassins in the assassination organization had also done it to his grandfather, and he was worried about whether they had been harmed.

Brandt forced himself to calm down, and he cleared his thoughts: his grandfather was guarded by Captain Luke and Deputy Captain Auster of the Knights of Glory, both of whom possessed the strength of a great knight. The Assassins wouldn't be stupid enough to fight the Grand Knight, and Grandpa wouldn't be in danger. And Jensen is far away on Xia Guo Island, so there should be no danger in the short term. Use the crow message to inform him of the news, and let him take precautions himself.

But Uncle Merlin and Cousin Gavin are in Golden Tooth City, and the assassination organization will definitely attack them. Thinking of this, Brant became anxious. He wished he had grown a pair of wings and flew to Uncle Golden Tooth City. But it's thousands of miles away from Golden Tooth City, and even the fastest crows need to fly for three or four days to get there.

"Your Excellency?" called Knight Quentin.

Roy said, "Brant, let's go back to camp first!" and the sword wound he had been stabbed by the one-eyed man was bandaged.

"Go back, I have to go back. Brant muttered to himself.
