- Even if it is just a common thing like the fireball magic wand, the damage caused is quite astonishing.
There are two inferences derived from this.
First, the place to be attacked should not be in Illyria, at least not in the inner city Although the imperial capital no longer has the Tower of Heavenly Ting, which has the greatest protective significance, the accumulation of thousands of years is not the same as some knights. You can do whatever you want with just a few magic props and scrolls.
Second, the purpose of the attack should not be to kill, or not to kill a specific person Otherwise, there would be no need for so many manpower, and the effect of buying off the killer would definitely be much better.
There is too little information currently available, so apart from these two inferences that are not necessarily accurate, Edward can't come up with anything. Moreover, it didn't seem to have much to do with him, but he was inexplicably very interested in this matter - although there wasn't much here that interested him at all, but there was something that the mind could feel. The vague premonition made him wait like this.
This kind of spiritual premonition is more accurate than some plans, and the purpose of Edward's trip is somewhat uncertain. To disrupt the overall situation and take advantage of the chaos is Edward. Preferred way of doing things.
The waiting process was actually a bit boring. Most of the knights were training - the inference was quickly verified. From time to time, there would be slight explosions in the underground space, or other special noises shaking the ground. The fluctuations of magic power were chaotic but not It's not too intense, and the magic it can inspire is probably not very powerful, but if it's just for training, it's enough.
The power that can be determined is around the second level, and it must not be difficult to drive a third-level spell. Even if each person takes a few scrolls, these people can theoretically exert higher combat effectiveness than a simple knight and a mage. However, this kind of hasty training must not have much coordination at all. How much can be exerted in actual combat? , remains to be tested.
And, it seems that their plan is not going very smoothly.
Until the dusk of the next day, there were only about forty or fifty people who gathered one after another in carriages or on foot. Although a few older knights did not talk about it, from their increasingly wrinkled faces Judging from the brow, it is obvious that this number is quite unsatisfactory. And in terms of quality, most of these latecomers are not as good as the dozen or so people who originally gathered here - Edward did not specifically screen, but the strength of the mental power is as clear to him as a label attached to each person. That kind of fragile defense can still be pierced even by the mental tentacles of his current clone.
They still don¡¯t know much, but the vague concept of where they want to go is becoming clearer and clearer, but the purpose is divided into two categories: ¡®rescuing people¡¯ and ¡®attacking¡¯. But no matter which category they are, they all have considerable confidence, because they were all sent here 'secretly' by their respective superiors.
It seems that the person organizing the action is still a guy with a good background?
Time passed slowly like this, and in a blink of an eye, the moon had risen to the zenith.
On a late summer night, there was no wind, and a thin layer of clouds spread in the sky. The light of the crescent moon dimly passed through the small window of the farmhouse, covering everything in a subtle silver.
A knight who lived in the same room as Edward stirred and got up unsteadily.
He murmured in a low voice like a person who got up at night, and slowly got out of bed, but there was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes. He carefully observed the two sleeping people, and only after making sure that their breathing was stable, he silently After leaving the room he wrapped two straw ropes around his boots and tied them up. He silently and carefully avoided the whistle in the farm and quickly moved behind a small hill outside the farm. Then he took out a small sapphire and stroked it twice.
A moment later, four vague figures appeared from the bushes on the other side.
Wearing gray-blue cloaks, they were as indistinguishable as shadows in the slightly dark night. Only when they left the shelter could the hazy moonlight outline their figures of different heights, fatness and thickness, but their movements were exactly the same. Light, swift, and silent.
"Youthere are only four of you?"
"What? Aren't four people enough?" The knight's lowered voice contained some unpleasant doubts, causing a cloaked man to respond unhappily. In the shadow of the hood, the knight's words were halted by the cold gaze. A certain coldness on his back made him feel as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
"Tell me what's going on." Another person said. It was an extremely hoarse and harsh voice, like rubbing two rusty iron bars, but he was obviously the leader among these people, because he alwaysAt the mouth, everyone fell silent.
"This place is very big. There are six secret sentries, and a lot of people have gathered in the past few days. Important people are all in the excavated tunnels." The young knight calmed down and whispered: "There are at least three exits. , I don¡¯t know where it leads, but at this time, they should have fallen asleep. Ordinary guys are not in much danger, but the leaders, I can be sure that they at least have fireball magic wands and hundreds of scrolls. Big Some of them are fireball spells, as well as scrolls of lightning and ice spells. Those in the farm are not difficult to solve. As long as the secret sentry is abolished, they may not wake up if someone goes in, but the passage leading to the underground is A magic alarm is set up opposite the room of a relatively powerful female knight, and that person is no ordinary person."
The young knight spoke briefly and hesitated here:
"She has a weapon with a return function, which may be equipped with magic such as defeating the enemy's advantage, so that she can always hit the target. In addition, she may have several rings and bracelets, each of which has different buffing spells attached to it. In addition, In the past two days, my teacher has taught many knights how to use magic items, especially those underground. They keep most of the scrolls. What kind of effects may be caused in such a narrow place? , about twenty people"
"There are only four of us, and there are more than twenty of them, so what? Are you afraid?"
The person who spoke first sneered, and the insidious voice made the young knight stunned again, and raised his voice angrily: "Of course I am Well, I just think that we should be more cautious, these knights are not worried. , but my teacher and Baroness Tahiti, if they are alerted, things may get a little troublesome."
"Boy, I'm warning you, don't tell us what to do you don't deserve it."
The knight shuddered suddenly, because the tall and thin man talking in front of him had disappeared at some point. Only the insidious voice came from his ears, and the cold breath blew at the base of his ears, as if it could penetrate the bone marrow. : "He's just a guy who can use magic weapons. Do you really think that magic weapons can be considered something extraordinary?"
"Ino, it's her identity that's a bit troublesome."
That indifferent aura was simply not like that of a living person. The knight gulped, stiffened, and did not dare to move. He just hurriedly defended: "She is the illegitimate daughter of the Duke, and she is especially favored. , so I don¡¯t know how many magic weapons she will have around her, and if something happens to her, the Duke may not let it go."
"It's just an illegitimate daughter. A duke will not go to war over such a thing." The tall man sneered.
"but¡¡"
"Do you think we would be afraid of a duke's illegitimate daughter?"
"Thisisno, no, I"
The young knight was almost crying - indeed, he didn't know whether the Duke would conflict with the people in front of him because of this, but if these big shots suffered a loss, they would definitely create a group of scapegoats to vent their anger later, and He, the informer who caused everything, is naturally the first to bear the brunt - he did these things to get promoted and make a fortune, but if he offends a Duke, who will take care of him, an informer who has lost his use value? ? Maybe even the bounty has not been covered, and he has already died inexplicably!
"Okay, okay, you guys don't bully this promising little guy. We still need him to lead the way." The person with a hoarse voice said solemnly: "We know, we will give priority to solving these two people. Yes, that Duke's illegitimate daughter, if everything goes well, we will let you stay, but the same cannot be said for your teacher, do you have any objections?"
"Yes, it is."
The young knight's pale face soon turned red with excitement - he had been coveting the baroness for more than a day or two, but among the two people who could get close to her, he was relatively older and not handsome enough. Obviously it cannot be compared with another classmate, not to mention that even that person may not have any chance. The daughter of a duke, even if she is only an illegitimate daughter, is often a very important political bargaining chip. That is not his kind. The little knight can only hope for it.
But now the situation is completely different.
As an informant, whether the Baroness is a member of this group of 'traitors' is something he can control a little bit. It is not possible to use this as a bargaining chip to get some favors from the Duke. , if everything goes well, a happy marriage will not be just a dream.
No, that is actually unrealistic Favors are more appropriate. After all, the Baroness's character?It is impossible to tolerate such a betrayal of mine However, as long as you can get a sufficient reward, it shouldn't be a problem to want a good woman, right? And after foiling a conspiracy against those big shots, they would not be too stingy, and for those big shots in charge of the imperial chess game, even just a little bit of residue flowing out from between their fingers would be enough for him. The humble little knight enjoys his life.
"A respected teacher, a close comrade-in-arms, a woman I admire Tsk tsk, is it true that feelings can never be as good as the rewards you can get?"
The sarcastic tone was like a steel fork, turning the deepest darkness in his heart over to the sun, exposing it to the sun, and evaporating it dry The young knight's face instantly turned livid, but his throat rolled, but he did not dare to speak.
He knew that these people in front of him had special status. If he really offended them, his own life would also be in danger - after wiping out everyone, it would not be impossible for him to be stabbed with a single word. "Associates of conspirators", no one will investigate the reason for their killing, not to mention that this will give them one less guy to share the credit, and they will definitely not refuse.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
That low, mocking voice was somewhat familiar, but it didn¡¯t come from anyone in front of him!
"you¡¡"
He turned his head suddenly and noticed the figure approaching leisurely under the moonlight - Edward walked slowly, his eyes raised, as if all his attention was on the crescent moon on the horizon, until he got close When he reached ten feet, he finally lowered his gaze, and the smile on his face made the knight grit his teeth.
He was actually being followed!
However, he relaxed a little immediately - in his field of vision, one side of the farm was still immersed in a slumber-like silence, with no noise and no lights In other words, although the guy in front of him discovered his whereabouts, But it didn't spread, but just followed him. Although he saw things he shouldn't have seen, as long as he was killed before he alerted others, there would be no impact!
Killing someone silently may not be your strong point, but these people standing behind you must be extremely good at it.
It was just his turned body that obviously prevented him from noticing the performance of the four ¡®cloaked men¡¯.
The four people bent down together and backed away as slowly as possible - they were not stupid knights with only brute strength. Once the blood surged, they would not think about anything, let alone observe carefully. ¡ª¡ªThe farm is surrounded by an empty wilderness, and for experienced killers, the hazy night is not a problem. A pair of eyes that can see in the dark is the basis of a killer Each of them can not only see in the dark, If necessary, they could even go several hours without blinking an eye, but even so, none of them seemed to notice how the speaker appeared in their field of vision!
The four people's eyes moved slightly, and they exchanged several meanings in an instant, but the reaction of their companions made them even more frightened, because obviously, everyone was equally unaware of that person's arrival.
What kind of person can escape the perception of four experienced killers?
"Friend, we are in the hunting business." The hoarse-voiced 'Cloak Man' spoke slowly, and his gaze from the shadow of the hood swept over the person's neck, chest and abdomen, and the backs of his hands - these locations. Tattoos are usually used by wanderers to mark their identity. Whether it is a tattoo or a badge, according to general rules, there must always be some special marking.
However, the person in front of him seemed to have nothing, his casual attitude, and even seemed to have nothing to do with the 'wanderer'.
However, the gaze under the hood instantly became extremely sharp, and not a single muscle in his body dared to relax at all. There was silence around him, but he seemed to hear his heart beating rapidly. .
As a passer-by in the shadows, he has his own special evaluation standards for many things - especially for people, the "prey" he must hunt, may also become a "predator" at any time.
"The words "vigor", "determination" or "terrible murderous intention with bloody hands" are actually all nonsense. Regardless of wisdom or stupidity, calmness or excitement, or how many people have been killed, it is not the essence that determines whether a person is a hunter or the prey;
It doesn¡¯t even matter how much power they have mastered - those spellcasters who claim to have superb power are actually not much harder to kill than a farmer. Once there is a problem with the power they are proud of, their reaction can be even more stupid.
But what¡¯s happening in front of mePeople, very scary,
Even though he had no blade in his hand and no weapon on his body, the killer's instinct told him in an instant that even with his fingers, this guy could crush him to death as easily as crushing an ant.
"Houndit's so nostalgic." Edward slightly curled his lips.
'Hound' is an abbreviation for mercenaries, used to describe the so-called secret agents and killers employed by nobles, just like 'cave bear' is used to describe explorers, and 'ditch rat' is used to describe intelligence dealers But since leaving Poplar Town, Edward hasn't heard this title for a long time.
¡°Well, since you are ¡®hounds¡¯, you probably won¡¯t let anyone know what you have been entrusted with.¡± He said, ¡°But, I want to know.¡±
The general rules of hunting dogs are naturally to be loyal to others. If they fail, they will lose their lives. Unless they are captured alive and cannot survive the torture, and they are unable to commit suicide, they may be able to reveal it. And since this person said this, he naturally had full confidence that he could defeat the four people in front of him and capture them alive before interrogating them.
Isn¡¯t this arrogance a bit ridiculous?
The four killers obviously couldn¡¯t laugh.
In an instant, they had begun to move individually, surrounding the arrogant guy who dared to fight one-on-four from four directions. They have obviously been partners for a long time, and their cooperation is quite seamless.
The leader with a hoarse voice was naturally the first to attack. He raised his hand and threw out a handful of fine yarn. However, under the moonlight, the sand still shone with a green luster, and a pungent smell went straight to his nose! It spread out, blocking almost all the way forward, and with the help of this cover, a short guy had already pulled out an extremely long knife from the sleeve of his robe, and slashed through the air with a single blow across thousands of troops! r1152 - Didn't finish reading?
