"Wait!"

Just as Tails and Nicolai were talking, Edda, who was watching from the roof of one side, suddenly lowered her head and exclaimed, "I'm ...... below."

In the next second, a loud sound came!

Bang!

The wooden roof at Edda's feet suddenly shattered!

At the elf's exclamation, she fell from the roof into the house.

In the procession on the street, everyone changed color in unison!

Tails looked worriedly at the house where Eda had disappeared, but was pulled back by the reins of the horse by the angry Nicolai: "Escort formation!"

Thump!

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Amid the tense and orderly footsteps of the Northlanders, the angry shouts of the elven guards came from the room: "Who are you-"

But before Edda's words could be finished, the sound of blade clashing sounded rapidly!

"Ding-Qiang-Bell-Qiang-Ding-Ding-Ding-Qiang-Bell......"

Tails suddenly changed color: within a second, the sound of metal collision actually sounded more than a dozen times in a row!

I don't even have time to breathe!

It's like a wind chime ringing in the wind.

Also shocked were Nicolas and Justin, who looked at each other in disbelief.

Fifteen engagements?

That is to say, in the space of one second, the two people who fought each other ......

"Ding. ”

The last sound fell, and the sound of the fight came to an abrupt end!

Bang!

Before Tails' mind could react, with the sound of the wind, a black strange figure instantly broke out of the window!

Straight to Tails!

Tails suddenly changed color: Edda lost?

From Edda's fall into the house to the black figure breaking through the window and attacking, the distance between the front and back was less than four or five seconds!

Even, from the beginning of all the blows, it was only a second of contact......

Eda lost?

A chill rose inside Tails, and for that moment, he remembered the terrifying assassin who had broken through the siege six years earlier: Ba'an Nette Sariton.

But there was no time for Tails to consider: in the midst of Nicola's angry shouts and the orderly formation of the Grand Duke's guards, the sudden attack was on the ground.

Since the perimeter had already been cleared by the time he came, Nicolai had kept most of his guards on the perimeter, but he was less guarded against the intruders who appeared on the way home.

The black figure staggered to the ground, but when he staggered to his feet, he was only a few meters away from Tails.

He was long and narrow, even a head taller than Nicolais, a high school student, and his whole body was wrapped in a dark black robe, with no eyes or skin.

It's like the purest night.

However, in his hands he held two long, narrow swords, the blades of which were less than two fingers wide.

"Do it!"

Nicolai dismounted decisively and was the first to burst out.

The Rising Japanese sword was unsheathed from his back and slashed out with all his might.

Justin, who came from behind, also had a sword in his hand and attacked angrily.

The six archduke's guards who surrounded Tails stood in front of him.

At this moment, with a bang, thick gray smoke suddenly rose from around the intruder!

"It's an alchemy ball, stand back!"

In the gray smoke that obstructed the view, Nicolai shouted angrily: "Protect the prince, find cover!

The surrounding Northlanders surrounded the Assassins, while some of the Grand Duke's guards covered the prince and retreated to the other side of the street.

As the smoke thickened, Tails felt that his vision was blurry, and he could barely see the black figure and Nicola's back.

"Your Highness!"

Wyay struggled to pull Tails off his horse, dragging him backwards with Rolf, and Willow and Jenard, as well as the other Starmen, stood behind the Grand Duke's guard.

Tails was down-to-earth and broke free of Wya's over-clenched hand: "Set up the formation first......"

At this moment, in the blurred vision of the smoke, the prince could barely see: the black-robed intruder raised his twin swords.

At that moment, Tails had only one feeling:

Is it raining?

"Jingle Bell—"

In the air, the sound of tinkling metal is continuous, almost non-stop!

Like an endless torrential rain, in a terrible wind, it slammed against the fragile eaves.

"Ding Bang

It's nice to the ear.

Thrilling.

The sound of the rainstorm almost drowned out the angry shouts of the people of the Northland.

At this moment, however, in the center of the smoke, no one was more shocked than Nicollet himself.

None of them.

He was suppressed.

At the moment when he drew his sword and engaged, Nicolas had just swung his first sword, and when he latched on one of the enemy's slashes—

"Ding!"

The enemy's blade will come and stab the next blow!

No pause.

Nicolai's heart tightened, and his unique twist of fate came from the joint: at the moment when the castration was exhausted, his blade immediately folded upward, blocking the second blow.

"Bell!"

But that's not enough.

Because the opponent just drew the first sword, and the next sword was sharpened without buffering!

"Khooth!"

The twist of fate was activated again, and Nicolai's face turned red, and he blocked the third sword.

Inadequate.

The enemy's fourth sword, however, broke through the smoke from the other hand and struck again!

"Boom!"

Still not enough!

Nicolas almost had the illusion of suffocation.

The fifth sword.

"Dang!"

The Sixth Sword.

"Boom!"

In less than a second, the enemy's twin swords alternate at incredible speeds.

And Nicolai was horrified to find that he couldn't keep up with the speed of the opponent's sword!

The Seventh Sword.

Eighth—

"Ding Bang

All the Meteorite can do is to constantly press his body with the power of the end, desperately trying to catch up with the opponent's sword speed in the gray smoke!

His face was contorted in the gray smoke that was already affecting his vision: he could barely see the enemy's movements.

"Boom!"

Listening to the multiple sounds that came from his ears synchronously, Nicolai was suddenly startled!

No, it's not just him.

At that moment, the person who fought the invaders in the thick smoke was Justin.

He was on the other side of the enemy, like Nicolai, gritting his teeth and struggling to hold on!

Nicolas and Justin, two battle-hardened Grand Dukes' guards, two directions, and even one of the Extremes.

But it was suppressed by the enemy with alternating back and forth, comparable to the terrifying sword speed of the rainstorm.

"Jingle Bell—"

The sound is endless.

And the black-robed man's double swords became faster and faster with each swing!

How can it be?

"Ding!"

In just two seconds, Nicollet was forced to take a step back in the opponent's ninth sword, and his heart trembled: how could there be ...... Such a fast sword speed?

This is a scenario that has never been encountered in the combat career of the Meteorite.

His bones were moaning, his blades were trembling, his muscles were roaring!

Konikolé knew that his blocks and interceptions were reaching their limits.

But the enemy's twin swords did not pause in the slightest, but became faster and faster!

"Khooth!"

In the third second, Justin gritted his teeth, his feet trembled, and his body shook - he didn't keep up with the enemy's next sword.

The black-robed man instantly seized the opportunity, and he jumped up with his right leg and jumped over Justin's head!

"Ding-dong!"

On the way, he struck three swift swords, the attacks of Gkaeni Kole and Justin, and a counterattack!

The Meteorite was shocked, and he finally realized in his frustration and frustration that he had encountered an irresistible enemy.

It may be the power of the end that I haven't seen before.

It took three seconds to break through the joint blockade between him and Justin.

Three seconds!

You can only block, block, and block again, but you have no power to fight back - how is this possible!

Nicolai looked in amazement at the black-robed man who had flipped over Justin in the air, and saw that the other party's figure rose to the height of three people, gradually disappearing into the smoke.

Fly into the sky over Tails.

The Meteorite gritted his teeth in hatred, and the Rising Japanese Saber in his hand erupted with a terrifying heat with the anger in his chest: he was ready to crush his opponent with the legendary anti-demon armament.

Right now.

"Ahhhh

The elven guard, Edda's peculiar, irritated and unhappy shout, suddenly sounded from the air!

"Get me down!"

Nicolai's pupils shrank, and a sword light flashed through the indistinct smoke.

The black-robed figure flying up in the gray smoke trembled violently!

As the sword flashed, the black robe seemed to be slammed from the air by an invisible hand, not only did it disappear, but it also fell towards the ground!

"Boom!"

With the muffled sound of the blade piercing through his clothes, the black-robed man fell to the ground.

He was motionless, and was stabbed to the ground.

"Dangchang!"

The enemy's twin swords landed in unison, and Edda kicked them away.

The elf's scolding voice rang out: "Fuck, the twin swords make it so amazing—"

Nicollet exhaled.

OK......

Stop him.

Whew-

The wind blew, and Rolf used his abilities to blow away the smoke that obstructed his vision.

As the smoke cleared, Nicolas frowned as he looked around: the frightened Grand Duke's guards had gathered around him, rushing to the position of the black-robed man and Edda, and surrounded them.

"Surround him!"

Nicolai ordered unhappily, "Don't let him touch the weapon!"

"Boss," Justin looked at him incredulously, clutching a wound on his arm, "that guy, so fast...... How is it possible?"

Nicolai looked at the figure surrounded by the smoke and pondered solemnly.

"I remembered. ”

"A long time ago, Kaslan showed us when he was still in the Guard," Nicolai frowned, pulled Justin up, and walked towards the black-robed man, "The kind of two-handed fast sword style that almost transcends the sound and is extremely fast in an instant: 'Rainstorm'." ”

"Kaslan, beyond the sound, rainstorm?"

Justin first muttered to himself in confusion, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head in shock: "But that doesn't belong to ...... alone"

"Well, the rainstorm of extreme speed dual sword style, this kind of skill, unique to the end tower of Kaslan," the Meteorite nodded solemnly, recalling the feeling of the battle just now: "The legendary Valkyrie in the bloody battle of Lyrdon, the 'Flag Leader' knight of the Royal Family of Humble......"

With a tone of disbelief, he said silently: "'Heart in the Rain' Jasmine Loran." ”

"You mean...... Female Knight Loran?" Justin's face changed, he quickly turned to the black-robed man, and exclaimed, "How can it be—'Heart in the Rain', she, didn't she die in the Eastern Continent thirty years ago in Hanbull?"

Nicolai patted his lieutenant on the shoulder and shook his head, "We'll know what's going on soon." ”

In the smoke, they walked together to the black-robed man lying on the ground.

"Hey!"

As the smoke cleared, Edda's diminutive figure appeared.

I saw her sticking her waist, pointing at the black-robed figure who was nailed to the ground by her scimitar and kept chattering: "Your skills, just bully and bully the little white face, and you still want to sneak attack me......"

Nicolai couldn't help but frown as he looked at Edda's appearance.

But the next moment, the nagging of the elven guards came to an abrupt end!

"Eh-huh!"

Eda stared at the people on the ground, opened her mouth wide, and looked at the people around her with an innocent and horrified face: "This, this, this, ......"

Nicolai's face changed.

He didn't care that the choking smoke had not completely cleared, and he hurried to him in three or two steps and pushed away the guards.

Nicolai grabbed the black-robed man with his own hands, and then he was shocked!

He noticed something was wrong.

Nicolai pulled out Edaza's scimitar on the ground, 'fished' the "man" on the ground, and stood up with a solemn face.

The soldiers around him saw what he was holding clearly, and they were all in an uproar!

The Meteorite was holding a black robe.

An empty black robe.

Its hem dangled unreliably, bobbing back and forth in the air.

Only black robes.

There is nothing alive.

Nikolai stared at the black robe in his hand for a few seconds, and then his eyes widened and he cast an inquiring look at his deputy.

"No, sir," Justin shook his head in the same astonishment, knowing what he wanted to ask, "We've just surrounded this place, and we haven't met any enemies who have broken through, and no one has been able to escape. ”

"What are you doing...... Eda said tremblingly, her hands tightly on her chest, looking around nervously, with a look of hell: "I obviously lost it......"

"Why is it gone?"

Nicolai stared at the black robes in disbelief, and then at the bewildered, surprised faces of the soldiers around him.

He lowered his head, and as if tentatively, he kicked the pair of swords on the ground.

The twin swords were obediently kicked away, revealing that they existed, not illusory.

Nicolai took a deep breath before hesitantly speaking, "Justin, the ...... we just fought again"

"It's a big living person, isn't it?"

Lord Justin opened his mouth slightly, and stopped talking: "I ......"

No one spoke.

There was only the black robe on the scene, which was still swinging, and together with the thin sword on the ground, there was a strange atmosphere.

At this moment.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

A mournful cry came.

Nicolas was startled and quickly turned around.

It's Wya.

Not far away, beside the dark horse Jenny, Wyay Cassel, the prince's attendant, was frantically pushing away the people around him like a madman.

He desperately searched every figure in his field of vision, and there was uncontrollable panic on his face: "Tails...... Your Highness Tails!"

"How-"

The bewildered Nicollet only had time to say a single word, and when he noticed his Waiya, he rushed towards the Meteorite, but was stopped by a guard of the Grand Duke beside him:

"Hey, Northlanders...... Your Highness, what about Your Highness?"

The attendant asked everyone in fear, "Has anyone seen His Highness?"

What the?

In the smoke that dispersed, the Meteorite subconsciously turned in the direction of the dark horse Jenny.

But all he could see was a group of panicked star people, and the guards on the periphery who were also at a loss.

Willow bent down and anxiously searched the corners of the crowd, and Jenard weaved through the crowd, stopping a man from time to time, looking at him with a frown, and letting go in disappointment.

One less person.

Less......

The thought flashed through the meteorite's mind.

He froze in place.

At that moment, whether it was Justin, Edda, or Rolf, everyone reacted to the change of color!

"Huh?" this is Edda, who is at a loss.

Rolf glared, grabbed Wya, and gestured frantically at him.

But the Meteorite grabbed it even more rudely, pushed Rolf away, grabbed Wya's collar with both hands, and asked with a hideous expression, "What's going on!"

"Prince—where's the prince?"

But Waiya looked like he was about to collapse, he shook his head tremblingly, and his tone was full of horror and worry: "No, no, the assassin came too soon...... The smoke is too loud, the sound is too loud, and the confusion is too loud...... I pulled His Highness off the horse, and I went to arrest him, but I could only catch Generd......"

Jenard's face was ugly: "Impossible, when you fought each other, the prince was still by my side a moment ago...... How could it be ......"

Nicola suppressed his anger and let out a low roar, pushing the gaffe Waiya to the ground.

But no one cares about dealing with the relationship between the Northlanders and the Stars at this time.

"Was it taken captive by that assassin?"

Eda said to Nicolas in horror, "When he jumped, he dodged my throwing knife and took Tails from the air?"

The pale-faced Nicolai jerked his head up at the roof nearest to them.

There, standing a grand duke who had climbed onto the roof and guarded the surroundings, with a bow and crossbow in his hand.

"No, chief!"

The guard stood on a high place and said with a puzzled expression: "From just now to now, even when it is smoke...... Whether it's streets, alleys, rooftops, anything that's a little higher...... I vouched for the honor and life of the White Guards, and I didn't see anyone leave!

Nicollet gritted his teeth and turned to look at a Grand Duke's guard who had arrived from behind him.

The guard just shook his head: "The entrances and exits around the ground are well watched by the sentry posts we have just arranged, and no one has entered or left since the assassin appeared—we have passed the password and appearance, and no one has pretended to be our own." ”

Nicolas froze.

How could that be?

There is no sky, no roof, no ground, no lanes......

At a distance of hundreds of meters around, no one enters or exits, and no one is camouflaged......

The prince just ...... out of thin air Taken captive?

On this street, whether it was the Northland people or the Xingchen people, they were all dumbfounded, looking at each other, at a loss.

The Starfall turned to the warriors around him, almost crushing his teeth in his mouth, and ordered in a rage:

"Whole team, search! From here, to our outermost blockade, every surrounding wall, every alley, every house, every ditch, and even behind everyone!"

"Intercept every suspicious person - our sentry posts and blockades are still there, and it is impossible for anyone to leave from here without a sound!"

In a solemn and strange atmosphere, the patrols and the Grand Duke's personal guards, who also had poor faces, suddenly agreed.

They were in place and well-trained to carry out their duties: moving, grouping, scattering, searching, all anxiously and nervously looking left and right, looking for their targets, refusing to let go of any corner.

The Xingchen people, led by Huaiya, were also ready to act, but they were stopped in place by a few cold Grand Duke guards, and they could only wait in place anxiously.

Wait for the results of the Northland search.

But a few minutes passed.

"Four lanes to the east, nothing!"

"Around the Luhu Mansion, it's very clean!"

"The intersection from the axe area to the spear area, there is no one!"

"I've searched all the chess and cards, both inside and outside!"

"All the houses in the south have been searched!"

"The ditch on the left, no clues!"

"We almost demolished the house where the assassin appeared, and there wasn't even a fly except for the broken roof!"

Neither the patrols nor the Grand Duke's personal guards had their search to fruition.

Listening to his subordinates' returns, Nicolai's expression became more and more ugly.

Finally, Justin walked out of the last alley with the men and shook his head at the grim-faced Nicolais.

"When the Assassins appeared, our sentry posts and blockades were intact, from the commanding heights to the main road on the ground, a radius of two hundred meters, not a drop of water, and the smoke of the Assassins did not affect them," Justin's voice sounded difficult:

"But...... They didn't see anyone break through. ”

"Anyone. ”

Nicolas almost stared out of the eyeballs, and he looked at his lieutenant in a daze, petrified in place.

Everyone was silent.

The situation is clear: there is no around, and there is no outside.

They couldn't find it.

The fourteen-year-old figure.

The figure that can influence the future of the two great powers of the Western Continent.

It's like disappearing for no apparent reason.

"......" Nikolai gasped heavily, glaring fiercely at the buildings around him, as if he was suspicious of the back of every wall.

What's going on......

What's going on......

Wyaa and Rolf looked at each other worriedly, shaking their heads at each other.

"Impossible," Edda said solemnly, "this is too strange......"

Beside him, Lord Justin frowned deeply.

"Boss ......"

Nicolais, with a distorted face, turned to his deputy, who stared blankly at the ground.

"The 'Heart in the Rain', which has been dead for thirty years, suddenly appeared and disappeared out of thin air, and now with the addition of Prince Tails......"

Lord Justin looked at the empty black robe with a pale face, and then at the twin swords that kept shaking on the ground, and blinked desperately, as if he couldn't believe his eyes:

"We, are we really ......"

"What the hell?"
