Legendary Hero

Chapter 745 Assassination (Part 1)

Early morning, slightly cold, dense fog.

Amidst the lingering white mist, a group of cavalry came out from the side gate on the east side of Eternal Night City in a neat formation, with the Night God Guard at the head.

The two divine guards were wearing exquisite black leather scale armor, and there were two scimitars crossed in the chest tattoo on the front of the scale armor. Their weapons were also different, the one on the left was holding a spear, and the one on the right was holding a scimitar.

Behind these two men is a team of thirty crossbow cavalry, each of which is holding a fine steel crossbow, and has already been wound. Target rains arrows.

The crossbow's attack is extremely fast and powerful. It can penetrate heavy armor within 30 steps. Coupled with the superiority in numbers, even a master like a martial artist can't get close to him under a volley of attacks, and he will definitely be shot and killed on the spot.

After the crossbow cavalry is Sandro.

Sandro is proficient in strategy, but his talent in martial arts is mediocre. Although his body is very strong thanks to the nourishment of the Queen of the Night's divine body, his martial arts cultivation is not good enough. Up to now, his combat power is only at the level of an ordinary overlord The masters are comparable, and there is no way to compare with the true god.

He also knows his own shortcomings. Since he is not good at martial arts, he should focus on defense.

So Sandro wore a full set of divine iron armor, which was tightly wrapped from head to toe, leaving almost no gaps. This armor is made from the forging experience of many master craftsmen in the Kingdom of the Night, plus a lot of precious materials. It is extremely strong. Even if the overlord level powerhouse charges and pierces it with a lance, it can defend it, and at most it will be slightly deformed. That's all.

His war horse is not simple either. This horse is the king of the thunder horses unique to the north. Its quality is already excellent, and after being smelted by the Queen of the Night's blood, it is an unworldly horse. , because the hair of this war horse is as red as blood, so it is called 'Blood Shadow'.

With blood shadow horses, god iron battle armor, eight night guards, and a large number of strong crossbow cavalry, with this lineup, even if the queen of the night comes, she can't force her way in, and can only kill in a roundabout way.

It is precisely because of such a strong defense that although Sandro was attacked by assassins from time to time, he was always safe and sound.

However, for some reason, as soon as Sandro left the city today, he couldn't help shivering, feeling a little cold.

He turned his head and looked around. There was thick fog, and the guards were indistinct. In the distance, there was a vast expanse of whiteness. A gust of cold wind happened to blow, and the white mist flowed slowly, showing traces of traces. Sandro felt a more distinct coolness.

'Life of ease is really depressing, I have only stayed in the palace for less than three days, and I would feel cold when blown by this cold wind! ’ Sandro sighed.

He, who has seen big scenes, will become lazy in a short period of time, let alone those soldiers. Sandro feels that it is necessary for him to increase the frequency of patrolling the barracks in the future.

The cavalry continued to walk out of the city. The barracks was three miles away from the city. At this speed, they could reach it in less than ten minutes.

Although it is very early now, there are already many pedestrians who get up early on the road outside the city. Most of these people are farmers who are going to sell vegetables in Eternal Night City outside the city. Travelers, there are some messy guys, such as rangers and the like.

These people are not very powerful and pose no threat to the cavalry. As long as they keep a certain distance from the cavalry, the soldiers will not be nosy. If they commit crimes, the patrolling soldiers in the city will naturally peel their skins .

Walking along the way, about halfway through, Sandro saw a ranger trotting forward on a horse. Because of the fog, he could only see a blurry black shadow at first. As he got closer, Sandro saw more details.

The weapon used by the ranger is a gun. The horse under his crotch looks tall and big, but its coat is messy and dirty, and its hooves are covered with mud. The ranger is wearing an ordinary wolf fur jacket, with the spear tucked behind his back. , with a rustproof leather sheath wrapped around the tip of the gun.

The ranger also saw the cavalry, and he reacted like everyone else on the road. He was startled for a moment, then pulled the horse, and offered to stand at a distance of more than 30 meters from the side of the road, waiting patiently for the cavalry to pass.

A very ordinary ranger still uses a spear, while Luo Lin uses a sword. In this world, if anyone can pose a threat to him at this time, it is only Luo Lin. This person cannot be Luo Lin. He was relieved.

He retracted his gaze and continued to look ahead of the road.

The soldiers around him just glanced at the ranger on the side of the road casually, and then looked away. They are very experienced in combat, and they are all veterans. They didn't feel the slightest hostility from the ranger, so they didn't have too much in their hearts. alert.

"It's gotta get~" The horseshoes of the cavalry team sounded regularly, and the team marched unhurriedly towards the barracks, as if everything was normal.

Time passed by second by second, Sandro and his guards moved forward unhurriedly, slowly approaching the ranger standing on the side of the road, the ranger still stood motionless, his eyes were also looking at the ground, A humble and respectful look.

But as the distance approached, the barrier of fog became weaker and weaker, and Sandro saw more things.

He suddenly felt that this ranger brought him an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before, so he looked carefully, and found that the other's hair was loose, dirty and messy, with condensation and dew on it. A few withered grass stalks, his face could not be seen clearly, only the dust stained on them could be seen vaguely, which looked dusty.

This is also normal. For anyone who travels long distances, it is absolutely normal to have a face full of dust. In fact, the few rangers around him are also of similar virtues.

After careful observation, he was still just an ordinary ranger. Although Sandro's doubts had not been completely eliminated, there was only the last trace left.

The distance between the two sides continued to close, and after more than ten seconds, Sandro was less than 40 meters away from the ranger. For Sandro, who was under the protection of the crossbow array, this was a safe distance, so although he was puzzled, he did not raise his vigilance.

At this moment, there was an unusually rapid sound of horseshoes in the white mist ahead. The horseshoes were fast and heavy, and 'bang bang bang' beat the ground like a war drum. The horse was running head-on, and the closer the distance , The sound of the horse's hooves became more and more rapid, and finally they became one piece. As soon as you heard the sound, you knew that this was a very rare and good horse.

After a few seconds, a black shadow of a knight appeared in front of him. Through the mist, one could see that the knight was holding a weapon such as a sword or a knife in his hand. Give people time to think.

"Enemy attack! Defend!" The night guard at the front immediately roared.

"Ha~" The cavalry roared in unison. In an instant, the swords and guns came out, the crossbows turned, and the shield cavalry were all around Sandro, and they used thick shields to cast a circle of steel fortresses. Lu surrounded him in the middle to protect him.

In the shield formation, Sandro was very safe, but at the same time, the shields and guards everywhere blocked his sight, making it impossible for him to get the surrounding information in the first place.

"Heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is the horse in front still is approaching quickly, after such a short while, it was already 50 meters away. Although the figure of the knight on the horseback was still blurred, it could clearly be seen that he made an attacking posture.

When the opponent's distance reached the optimal attack distance of the steel crossbow, the night god guard suddenly roared: "Get ready...to shoot the arrow!"

"Bengbengbengbeng~" The strings of the steel crossbow made a sound, and the thirty crossbow arrows rushed towards the approaching knight with precision like locusts. It can be seen that most of the crossbow arrows hit the target, some of them hit the horse, and some of them hit the knight on horseback.

According to common sense, with such a terrible attack, and most of them were hit, no master in this world should be safe and sound, not even the Queen of the Night.

But what happened in front of them was completely beyond the comprehension of the cavalry. Instead of stopping, the black figure rushed faster. He didn't even block the crossbow arrows, and just rushed forward with his weapon in hand.

"What's going on?"

"Is it wearing solid armor?"

The cavalrymen all opened their eyes wide. At this time, the opposing knight was about to rush forward. Although the guard with the long spear in the front was also full of doubts, he still urged his horse to meet him.

As a guard, he must block this guy's attack.

In just a second, the divine guard arrived in front of the attacking knight, and at this moment, he finally saw the truth clearly.

The horse's chest and face are covered with thick cowhide. The cowhide is bulging, and there should be a lot of cotton wool stuffed inside. The crossbow arrow hit the cowhide and penetrated it, but the momentum was exhausted, and it failed to take the horse. A little bit of damage, so the horse can keep rushing forward.

What frightened the divine guard was the sword-wielding knight on horseback. This is not a real person, this is simply a straw dummy, and what he holds in his hand is not a weapon, just a branch.

There are at least a dozen crossbow arrows deeply inserted into this dummy, but for such a scarecrow, what if ten thousand arrows are inserted?

"Not good! I fell into the opponent's trick!"

In an instant, the divine guard came to his senses. He shot the dummy on the horse and fell to the ground, then looked around, looking for the real assassin. While searching, he shouted: "Be careful of the assassin!"

The time was too tight, he shouted in a hurry, and he didn't have time to explain, so there was ambiguity.

The cavalry standing behind only saw him knock the assassin down with a single shot, but this guy clearly defeated his opponent, so why did he call out to be careful of the assassin? What does this mean? Hadn't the assassin already been killed by him?

Sandro among the cavalry was also strange. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sharp murderous intent appear from the side. He turned his head and saw that the ranger who had been scrutinized by him before was moving at an unimaginable speed. rushed towards him.

In an instant, he recognized his opponent's true identity: 'God of War Luo Lin! '

His heart suddenly became cold, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
