Chapter 50: The Killer Strikes
After all three of the Night's Watch were disposed of, the entire camp was completely undefended.
The man in black has groped outside Lawrence's tent, and in the eyes of the man in black, the most threatening person in the entire camp is Lawrence, who has rich combat experience, as long as he wakes up and takes his weapon, it is definitely a tricky existence.
The man in black came to the entrance of the tent, and then slowly opened the tent with a dagger, and just wanted to enter, he was forced out by a sharp sword, if the man in black moved a little slower, his head must have been opened by the big sword.
"Who are you?"
Lawrence, dressed only in a single coat, jumped out of the tent with a big sword and shouted loudly, one to scare the men in black and the other to wake up the team.
"Jiji, I didn't expect you to wake up, I originally wanted you to die in a sweet dream, since you don't appreciate it, then we're welcome. ”
The man in black at the head made an eerie sound, and immediately two more men in black rushed over, and three daggers stabbed Lawrence at the same time, taking Lawrence's throat, heart and lower body respectively, and killing Lawrence.
In fact, Lawrence also fell asleep, but unfortunately Lawrence's cautious problem will make him, get up at night for a while to inspect a circle, just sat up, and saw the black shadow on the tent printed by the firelight, tiptoeing with a dagger, and knew at a glance that it was not his own team member, so Lawrence hurriedly picked up the big sword beside him, which led to the situation that the man in black could not sneak attack and was almost killed.
Since Jihua, who secretly killed people, failed, the people in black no longer concealed their movements, and they all rushed to the tent they chose, ready to kill the mercenaries by surprise.
It's just that because of Lawrence's efforts, the mercenaries he led are not slow to react, except for a few who sleep relatively dead and can't wake up for a while, the rest of the people are awakened by Lawrence, and they all habitually pick up the weapons around them to attack forward, which is the experience accumulated by the mercenaries on the line of life and death.
With the mercenary's counterattack, all the men in black were exposed, and Lawrence, who parried the attacks of the three men in black on the left and right, was also startled, and was actually touched by so many killers, it seems that the three people on the night vigil are probably dead, and Lawrence can't think about it, the three daggers contain Lawrence to death.
Because he lost the opportunity and was close to the killer, Lawrence's greatsword could not exert its full combat power, and the fight was extremely aggrieved.
The rest of the team members were defenseless and were close to the killer and could only defend passively.
Lawrence was sweating profusely, if this continued, his group would definitely be killed, who are these men in black, they are definitely not robbers, robbers are all warned in advance, and then mostly for money, and these people only said one word, the others are crazy attacks, and they don't want to stay alive at all.
A little distraction, Lawrence has an extra scar on his body, these people are really vicious, they don't miss any opportunity, they simply live to kill.
"Boom!"
Just when Lawrence couldn't hold on because he couldn't hold on, the man in black who was about to attack him in front of him suddenly turned red, and then flew out, rolling twice and not moving.
This change immediately stunned everyone present, and looked in the direction Lawrence was looking, and saw the door of the carriage that had not moved, and Faeron stood there with a cold face, and the magic array in front of him told everyone that it was his hand just now.
At this time, Fei Lun was very angry, originally thought that it was just a peaceful journey, nothing more than a little tired, as long as he rushed to the imperial capital, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, of course Fei Lun could see that these people were killers, not robbers, which proved that these killers were here for themselves, so Fei Lun shot and killed one directly, without hesitation at all.
At the moment when the killers were stunned, the mercenaries hurriedly distanced themselves, and then came together to form a battle formation, which was the way the mercenaries attacked.
Seeing that things were corrupt, the leader of the killers also knew that this mission had failed, and after a whistle and an order to retreat, he took the lead in running towards the forest, as long as he entered the forest, he would be considered a successful escape.
"It's not that easy to run. ”
Faren said in a cold voice, the magic array quickly changed, and on the side of the camp near the forest, an earthen wall was quickly raised, completely blocking the killers' way of life, and the two killers who ran fast also hit the earthen wall.
"Leave two alive, and kill the others. ”
Feron directly gave the order, and Lawrence subconsciously regarded himself as a subordinate to complete Feron's order.
In order to make the mercenaries more combative, Faeron still released a few large fireballs and lit up all around, so that all the killers could be seen at a glance, completely exposed to the eyes of the mercenaries.
After distancing themselves from the killer, the mercenaries who have been able to give full play to their own advantages can control the situation in an instant, these killers can't be said to be not powerful, but they are learning the art of assassination after all, if they assassinate these mercenaries secretly, a hundred mercenaries are not enough to kill, but when it comes to frontal fighting, the killer is always unable to compare to these experienced and cooperative mercenaries.
Listening to Faeron's words, the mercenaries cooperated in pairs and began to besiege and kill these desperate killers, Lawrence was full of anger and directly found the leader of the killer who had just dealt with him, ready to take him down.
From time to time, Faeron also unleashed some small magic, wind blades, fireballs, and water arrows, to help the mercenaries kill the enemy, and also helped the mercenaries prevent those life-for-life killing moves.
Seeing that his subordinates were constantly killed by the mercenaries who cooperated with him without any way back, the killer leader also knew that this assassination failed, and looking at Lawrence, who kept attacking him and did not kill the killer, the killer leader knew that he wanted to capture him alive, and there was a magician watching from the side, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to.
The killer leader's heart was horizontal, and he bit hard to bite the poison sac hidden in the tooth socket, and the killer would not be captured alive.
Lawrence, who originally felt that he was in control, suddenly found that his opponent's movements were stiff and slumped to the ground, Lawrence immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly approached, carefully and vigilantly pulled down the mask of the killer leader, and sure enough, a wisp of black blood overflowed from the corner of the killer leader's mouth, and he committed suicide by taking poison.
When the other killers saw the boss dead, they all followed suit, and they bit the poison sac in their mouths one after another, and collapsed to the ground to die, this situation made the mercenaries smack their tongues, obediently, and said that they would die, they didn't have such courage, they could save themselves with broken arms, and they didn't have the courage to take poison and commit suicide, so they still had to live their rotten lives.
"Young Master Faerun, this, they are all dead and committed suicide. ”
Lawrence came over and said to Faren with an embarrassed face, he originally wanted to shine in front of Faeron, but he didn't expect to get a little cheap from beginning to end, first he was attacked by a sneak attack, and then let the killer die in front of him, Lawrence really couldn't hold his head up in front of Faeren.
"Who is it, you know?"
Fei Lun is no longer pleasant, no matter who it is, if he is suddenly assassinated, he will not be in a good mood, Lawrence They are mercenaries, it is not worth killing with killers, they only need to do a random mission, just a group fight, so the target of these killers can only be themselves, and how long they have only been in the Red Earth Continent, even if there is an enemy, it is only the Shi Dan family who has been exterminated, but who will stand up for a family that has been exterminated, Fei Lun's mind is in chaos, and he has no clue.
Hearing Pheren's question, Lawrence returned to the corpse and pulled the killer's collar to confirm it.
"Young Master Faerun, he is a scorpion killer. ”
"Scorpion killer? Tell me about this scorpion killer. ”
"The scorpion killer is a member of the killer organization Poison Scorpion, the scorpion is also a more famous killer organization in the dark Shijie, based in the territory of our Andre Empire, but I don't know the exact location, it has not been eradicated, their killers will never be captured alive, as long as they find that there is no way to escape, they will take poison and commit suicide, basically the top killer organizations are like this. ”
"Scorpion killers will tattoo scorpions on their chests, different levels, tattoos are also different, low-level killers will only tattoo scorpion tails, as the level increases, scorpions will gradually take shape, complete scorpions will also show different colors according to different levels, the leader just now has a blood-colored scorpion tattooed on his chest, proving that he is an executor and will lead an assassination team to be responsible for various tasks. ”
"So how do we know who hired them?"
Faerun's face was even more ugly, with such a tight organization, it was probably not so easy to know more information.
"I'm afraid there's no way to know, maybe even the scorpion organization can't know, they only recognize money, not people, as long as they pay money, even if they don't meet, they will go on a mission. ”
"Aren't they afraid that customers will pay their bills?"
Fei Lun thought it was incredible, could it be that the killer organization was so stupid?
"There is no debt at all, just that the scorpions use their credit to guarantee, and the payment is all paid in a lump sum. ”
Lawrence also knows a little about this situation, after all, maybe at any time, the object of his protection will be targeted by poisonous scorpions, just like this time.
"Pay it all at once? Aren't they afraid of mission failure? Does that mean they're going to assassinate you?"
Faren had a headache, and if he was targeted by the killer organization, it would not be an easy matter.
"No, the scorpion will carefully ask the target about the situation before each mission, and formulate an assassination jihua according to the situation, this jihua will let the customer roughly know that if the assassination fails, it means that there is a problem with the situation provided by the customer, and the customer needs to pay again, and re-formulate jihua, if the customer does not pay, then this task is over. ”
After listening to Lawrence's explanation, Fallon was stunned, there is such a killer organization, Shijie is so big, maybe because he has never heard of it before.
"So there's no danger for the time being?"
Faren thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, even if the buyer wants to ask for the hunt again, it will be too late tonight. ”
Lawrence thought for a moment and said.
"That's okay, you don't have to travel overnight, let's see how everyone is, I don't know when this group of killers came. ”
Hearing that it was okay tonight, Feren's face softened a little, and asked Lawrence to take a look at his teammates, if Lawrence's team was seriously attritional, it would be dangerous to encounter such a situation again.
