12. Rabbit's combat skills
"Quick! Mobilize more people, hurry! Don't let those murderers go!"
It was the dead of night, but in the lord's mansion of the city, it was "brightly lit...... No, in fact, the lights of the lord's palace are usually kept on, but this time, the light is much stronger than usual—even from a long distance, people in the residential area can see the fire coming from that place.
At first, the people who noticed this strange thing were still thinking of joining in the fun, but when they saw that all the guards on the street were mobilized, the atmosphere was particularly tense, and they knew that it was better to return to their homes in peace.
Because the tension and danger in the air cannot be hidden.
Doesn't it sound like an assassin from the Lord's Mansion? Whatever, in the past, this lord showed off his might, and he did not oppress the citizens of the city, but the people's hearts here were not good, although most people did not reach the level of "hatred", but the curse similar to "thunder and thunder in the sky" was not aimed at the widow's family...... Oh bad assassins? That's right, just kill this family!
Then hurry up and change to a reliable lord!
While the guards would be nervous at such times for dereliction of duty, most of the people were not so apprehensive - so they closed their doors and windows with peace of mind, shielded themselves from the fire and the commotion, and returned to their bed, praying that tomorrow morning they would hear some "bad news."
They were relaxed, and the guards were already anxious like ants on a hot pot.
"Hurry up! There are so few people coming!, where are all the people on the city walls!?"
"But...... The city defense side can't be moved at will, this is a ......blasphemy."
"Blaspheme you, uncle! Find out the situation!" The captain of the guard grabbed the collar of the junior officer who reported to him, and his eyes were about to pop out, "If the situation here is not handled well, we will not have good fruit to eat! This kind of thing is different from the 'little things' in normal times." It's always going to give priority to us from above, and it's impossible to push the blame down, you know!?"
If something really goes wrong, the soldiers at the bottom will not be punished too much, but at the officer level, they will inevitably be severely inspected and punished. It is not impossible to even go to prison directly - maybe there is no serious mistake in oneself, but if an enemy falls into the ground, the same mistake will become an unforgivable crime......
What kind of goods they are, many officers have self-knowledge. If the matter is big and someone from above investigates it, the complaint of those small people will be a big headache.
"There aren't enough people at all! Keep pulling people over, and we must catch those fanatics! Otherwise, we'll be finished!"
"All the city defenses have to be ......?"
"All! Because the lord has already been killed! It's going to be able to get through it, you know!?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the surrounding soldiers straightened.
Suzerain...... Already dead?
"But...... With the ability of our soldiers, we may not be able to catch the assassins who have already succeeded in absconding......"
"Hmph, if that's the case, I'll be running away by now!" The captain of the guard, who did not hide his original plan in the slightest, pointed to the lord's mansion behind where the fire was getting worse, "See......? I don't know who's in it. For what reason, the fight started, but in short, it was right to catch all the guys inside! It was best to catch the perpetrators. If you can't catch it, let the person who catches it 'become' the perpetrator!"
......
"Phil, Na'er, more and more people are gathering outside!"
"Hey, I see...... But this guy here won't give us a chance to withdraw at all! This guy is very difficult to deal with! I can only fight with her with Na'er, and I can only fight her to a draw - this guy is too fast!"
Cats are born with agility, both in terms of skill. Or dynamic vision and nerve responses, cats are among the strongest in nature, and Cat Niang Feier is also very confident in her senses. However, the enemy in front of her now puts Phil in a dilemma—the keen senses of which she is proud. I can't keep up with the rhythm of the other party!
"Don't be distracted!
"Wow-uh-wow!"
Although the rabbit girl Na'er reminded Fei'er in time, Fei'er's movements were still half a cut slower - the other party just poked the gap in Fei'er's right hand movement, it would be good if Fei'er was not distracted, but now, the movement was a beat slower, and it looked like she was about to let a short knife with a faint green light cut open her abdomen!
What would happen if you were attacked by such a poison blade coated with poison? Fei'er didn't want to know.
"Leave the rest alone! Protect your head and chest!"
At the last moment, the shouts from his companions made Fei'er subconsciously change his defensive actions halfway through - in the face of an attack that directly hit his abdomen, it was difficult to suddenly switch to protect other parts, because it was equivalent to overcoming his instinctive reaction in a moment of lightning. For the cat girl Fei'er, this is of course a very difficult thing...... However, she trusts her playmates who grew up more than her own physical instincts.
Anyway, since Na'er said to protect these two key points, then just do it!
"Shh
Hearing the sound of gravel coming from behind him, Ye had to give up this excellent opportunity. In fact, her death this time was not only aimed at the cat lady, but also her target - she finally used a feint to widen the distance between the two of them, and seized the gap to carry out a surprise attack on one of them, just the appearance, what Ye really wanted to take down was the rabbit girl. What she wants to take advantage of is the rabbit girl's eagerness to help her companion's mind, seeing that her companion is in danger, the other party is likely to ignore her own safety and rush to support her companion's predicament...... In that case, after relaxing his own defense, Ye was very sure that he would directly remove this rabbit from the battlefield!
“...... Have you seen through it?"
The rubble, shattered by the punch of the rabbit girl Na'er, came towards Ye like a scattered bullet - she was an assassin, although she thought she was quite skilled in her business. But after all, he is not a fighter with a lot of fighting spirit. Ye, who has a weak defensive ability, can't ignore the threat of these rapidly attacking gravel, and if he is hit by these gravel with sharp edges and corners, he will lose half his life!
And, just like the gap where Ye caught the cat girl, Rabbit Lady Fil's attack. It also happened to intercept the flaw when Ye launched an attack. Although the speed of the leaf is fast, it cannot break through the limitations of the human body. Now, if she wants to avoid being knocked down by rubble, she can't do it with her own speed alone - she has to use her own hands and her own weapons to block!
In this way, neither of the two enemies has a chance to take out the ...... But in short, the priority of one's own life is above this, and it cannot be ignored.
"Thank you...... Ahem!
After all, Cat Niang Fei'er is slower than Ye. She couldn't break free from the rain of gravel as calmly as she did, but because she had Ye in front of her, there was more than half of the gravel that could threaten her, and there wasn't much rubble left, plus Fei'er protected the vital point in time...... Although some injuries to my hands and feet were inevitable, they were not in the way.
"Hurry up to Lily!"
Although Fei'er's injuries are not life-threatening, in this environment. Treatment should also be given immediately. The outside is already surrounded by guards, even if this difficult human assassin is dealt with. It is also difficult to get out of the sea of people.
As for a certain big rabbit that relies on leading the team...... None of the three of them had thought about it. They knew the character of that one very well, and since they said that they would not take special care of them, they would not help them even if they fell into a life-threatening situation, right? After all, that one has always been known for this kind of "harshness" that borders on coldness.
"Your opponent is here!"
In order to stop the human assassin from interfering with Phil's treatment in the past, Nalle began a continuous pursuit of her. Realize that the other party is fast. However, Na'er, whose physical defense is limited, gave up the difficult task of chasing the opponent's speed and implemented another method of warfare......
Greatly expand the attack range!
For the rabbit girl who practices the combat skills taught by her own patriarch and is good at using her fists and feet to strike, she infuses her fighting spirit into her fists and feet. It's not hard to make every attack a destructive blast. Unlike those who purely use the outgoing fighting spirit as a means of extending and expanding their weapons, the combat skills of the rabbit clan have a unique method for the use of fighting energy. Because the innate foundation of the rabbit clan is relatively weak, even if the cultivation of fighting qi is half the result compared to others, the patriarch of the rabbit clan has conducted quite in-depth research on how to use power more efficiently and how to maximize the use of power.
In order to ensure that every trace of strength is used on the blade and no waste is taken as the premise, the rabbit girls with weak congenital conditions have an unusually high starting point for their cultivation skills. The process of cultivation is not only longer than that of the cat clan and the fox clan, but also very arduous and boring, so that the lively and active cat clan and fox clan girls are rarely able to successfully practice the rabbit clan's combat skills. According to the patriarch of the rabbit clan, this is considered a "disagreement of heart", even if the rabbit clan has never hidden his secrets, this personality incompatibility alone makes the people of the other two clans have to give up on this.
Only the rabbit clan, who is born with a very tolerant personality and can endure hardships, can endure the pain, hardship, boredom and impatience in the cultivation.
For the girls of the cat clan and the fox clan, unless they are really enthusiastic about the combat skills of the rabbit clan, if they simply want to become stronger, the skills handed down by their own family will not only take effect quickly, but the cultivation process will not be as boring as the rabbit clan. It takes less time to get enough strength smoothly, so why bother to pursue the skills of the rabbit clan?
The rabbit clan is because there is no way, and there is no way to choose other paths, so they follow this difficult path of cultivation without hesitation - but then again, difficulties are difficult, but after all, it is viewed from the eyes of outsiders. For the rabbit girls, this is the only way to keep up with the footsteps of their childhood sweethearts, and to share their worries for them, so that it will not become a drag. Even if the practice is hard, will it be more painful than the bleak past of their people?
The inheritance of the spirit race that reproduces in a unique way has never been broken, and even the younger generations who have not experienced that period of history can empathize with the pain of their predecessors - "incompetence" is their eternal taboo. In order to be able to be a burden to yourself, you have been practicing hard since you were a child, and that is nothing.
This is necessary in order to keep up with the footsteps of siblings.
It is necessary in order not to be a burden and not to let the sisters shed their blood for themselves.
This is necessary in order to be able to help our fellow sisters who have sacrificed so much for their own people.
In order to be able to protect these siblings who once sheltered their own people one day...... All of this is necessary!
"Attack...... Changed!?"
Ye suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with this rabbit girl's attack - just now, although the opponent's attack was fierce, there was only such a limited "point" that could pose a threat to himself after all. But now, there seems to be a storm blowing around Rabbit Niang, and every punch and kick of her faintly brings a whistling wind.
As an assassin, Ye's perception ability is quite good, and when she noticed that the aura on the rabbit girl's body had changed, she took a wise countermeasure - she did not choose to use her body to test the opponent's attack, but threw a throwing knife at the beam, pulling the thin wire connecting the knife, and directly ripped off the beam that was on fire.
“......”
The flames that were burning and rising perfectly conveyed the hidden murderous aura of the rabbit girl - it was not the beams that were smashed and torn first, it was these ethereal and disembodied flames. As if being pulled by an invisible hand, the rising flames were torn to pieces in an instant and dissipated into the air.
"It's dangerous...... I've heard of it, the ability to retract the fighting energy of the whole body like hands and feet, not even a single trace of waste, once struck, it has ten times more power than others--it seems that it is not only power, it is also easy to expand the scope of the attack, and to include all the pieces in front of you into the killing range of just one punch. ”
The most dangerous thing is...... There is no warning of such behavior.
Ye couldn't help but be glad that he had an intelligence source that was better than others. (To be continued......)
