Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 511 512. Assassination

"Ha, Megara."

After entering the city wall with her hood on, Cassandra let out a sigh of relief.

"It's been the first time since I left Kefalonia that I've entered a decent city."

"That's just because you're too busy." Lan En said casually while paying the city entry tax. “This is what happens when you have a clear goal on a journey: you go straight to your destination without any leisure time to enjoy the scenery.”

After entering the city, Kassandra saw the hillside in the city at first sight.

"Is that the militarized temple you're talking about?"

The temple itself is built on the top of a hillside. Looking from the bottom up, you can only see a red tiled roof.

And militarized transformation originally means blockade and prohibition of entry. Under normal circumstances, people below the hillside have no idea what the temple on the mountain has been changed into, and what the manpower layout is inside.

"Is the news accurate? You shouldn't be able to see the construction going on above from here?"

Kassandra first looked around, then walked towards the Temple of Apollo down the hillside. I asked as I walked.

Lann followed her and shrugged.

"This is not the news I found, it was Fu Bai."

Cassandra turned around in surprise.

"By the way, Fubo! Isn't she with you now?"

"No, how should I say this?" Lan En scratched his cheek under Cassandra's gaze. "That guy has been a little jumpy recently, but don't worry. I also gave her some self-defense gadgets, which are enough."

Kassandra rolled her eyes at Lan En: "It's better to have enough."

While talking, the two came to the bottom of the Temple of Apollo.

This is a side that few people pass by, and the marble column that is as wide as one person can easily cover Cassandra.

She just took two small steps, and then jumped onto the marble column like a leopard.

The whole strip of marble that serves as the pillars of the temple is actually piled up of many small cylindrical marbles.

Cassandra only relied on the strength of the last knuckle of her finger to cling to the small gaps between these small columns, and then climbed up effortlessly.

Lan En looked down and smashed his mouth. If he had taken off the armor he was currently wearing, he would probably have to use [Light Body Technique] to let a few knuckles pull the weight of the entire body.

Looking at Cassandra's effortless look, Lan En felt that this woman would have no problem climbing dozens or hundreds of meters on the cliff in this way.

The mass of muscles and bones of normal humans is far from that exaggerated.

Kassandra easily climbed up the nearly four-story temple. On the top of the temple was a stone sculpture of an angel with wings on its back and hands raised to the sky.

Of course, in today's day, such a sculpture might depict a winged nymph serving the gods.

Kassandra squatted with one leg on the hand raised by the nymph, and the entire Megara was under her eyes at this moment.

A distant eagle cry sounded in the sky, and Icarus circled a huge circle in the sky with Cassandra as the origin.

Lan En just raised his head and knew that Cassandra had already observed the entire city, including the scene on the hillside.

The militarized temple can indeed block ordinary people's observation, but for Cassandra, who can link her vision with the eagle in the sky, it is of no use at all.

When the demon hunter reached the pile of flowers at the main entrance of the Temple of Apollo, a black shadow rushed down like a swooping eagle.

Then there was a muffled sound, and it crashed into the pile of flowers. The splash of petals made Lan Endu take a step aside in shock.

"Huh~ I'm covered in fragrance, it feels pretty good."

While speaking lightly, Cassandra walked out of the pile of petals lightly.

Beside him, Lan En's eyes twitched.

"A height of more than ten meters. The petals are cushioning and the back is on the ground. Are you serious?"

"It's not as difficult as you think, Lan."

Kassandra smiled and patted the witcher's arm, winking at him.

Lan En shook his head and continued walking forward.

"Nah, I don't want to try this at all."

——

Kassandra used Icarus to conduct reconnaissance and saw the militarized Temple of Athena clearly.

"There is indeed a powerful figure there, wearing a full-face helmet, Ikanos, it should be him."

The two of them naturally approached the temple on the hillside, and Cassandra introduced the situation inside to Lan En.

"A very powerful person? How did you see it? As far as I know, there is no huge difference in appearance between him and ordinary soldiers."

"Huh?" Cassandra was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't know why she could see that the other party was very powerful.

But she was not a character who would dwell on problems all the time, so she waved her hand easily.

"I don't know either, but I can feel it. I've been able to do it since I was a child, and I haven't made any mistakes until now."

"Then I can only trust you."

With two sounds of "噌,匌"", the two men who spoke in low voices took off the broken spear hanging from their backs, and the other pulled out the dragon bone dagger from the waist.

The advantage of assassination is that it can control the scale of the battle without focusing the attention of the entire city.

After all, this is still an area controlled by Athens, and the two of them don't want a beheading operation to become too troublesome.

The two simply looked at each other, and then separated in a tacit understanding. From both sides, split up and start clearing the enemies in this militarized temple.

When Kassandra told Lan about the terrain here, his own demon hunter senses were no worse than the falconer's magical abilities.

He could see the traces left by the human body in the space, and could hear the breathing of living creatures through the walls.

Although she is not like Cassandra, who can see clearly the postures and movements of the humans inside through walls, it is still much easier to use than ordinary human senses.

"How can those guys from the Cat Faction be so famous for their assassin business?"

Leaning against the door frame of the outer wall, he muttered something in a low voice, and then Lan En suddenly dodged and reached inside the door frame to grab it.

An Athenian soldier who happened to be passing by the door felt that he was being pulled away by a cow, and was dragged out of the door completely involuntarily.

The unexpected situation made the Athenian soldiers panic, and he instinctively opened his mouth to shout, punch and kick.

But at this time, Lan En had already lifted up the hem of his blue linen clothes with one hand and covered his mouth, so that he could not make any sound.

And not only that. "Stab"

The dragon bone dagger in the other hand was pulled cleanly on the opponent's neck. The arteries in the skin and underlying flesh were opened together.

The blood pressure in the lateral carotid artery is very high, and it spurts out suddenly, but it is completely blocked by the lifted hem of the clothes.

There were no dazzling blood stains or screams, just a dying human body on the ground.

After many memories of the Emperor's Children and many practical exercises, Lan En has become a completely different person from the rookie who couldn't even stop assassins.

When he looked up, he saw Cassandra jumping out of the grass on the other side. After knocking the Athenian soldier down in the grass with one punch, he rushed forward with a broken spear. After a stab, there was only silence.
