Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 540 Shadow Assassin

Although Li Cha is also a master of the holy rank, his promotion speed is too fast, and his foundation is somewhat unstable. Usually, Li Cha can cover up his shortcomings by relying on his strong basic attributes and treasures, but in some details, he still has a lot of problems. Slightly lacking.

Especially with the sword saint Khid who protects the country with strong perception, before Li Cha noticed it, he felt the movement of the shadow of the eldest prince, and immediately drew his blade to point at the eldest prince.

"what are you up to!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

Seeing Kexid drawing his sword at the eldest prince, the officers around the eldest prince reacted extremely fiercely, and the master of the great knight rank reacted quite quickly, and immediately drew his sword to protect the eldest prince.

But the quickness of his movements depends on who he is corresponding to. For a holy master like Kexid who has already touched the threshold of the realm, his reaction speed is obviously not enough. In an instant, Kexid's grudge had come out from the sword, pointing directly at the eldest prince not far away.

"clang!"

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Kexide's vindictive energy did not directly kill the Eldest Prince, but wiped the Eldest Prince's side face, and shot at the black shadow behind him.

This black shadow was even more frightening. He emerged from the shadow of the eldest prince under the eyes of everyone. A black dagger in his hand wanted to take the life of the eldest prince, but he was killed after Kexide aroused a burst of fighting spirit. Forced to fight back.

Compared with the other people around the eldest prince Ward, they were not so lucky. This blow seemed to send out a certain signal, and a black figure appeared from the shadows of the surrounding people. Several soldiers who came in to defend the prince were killed by the black shadow emerging from their own shadow before they had time to react.

The guards who can guard the vicinity of the Grand Prince's Manor are all well-trained elites. Many of them are quasi-knights, and there are even many knights. They are all quasi-knight-level masters. Apart from being loyal, they are also very alert, otherwise they would not be selected as the guards next to the eldest prince.

Such an elite force, coupled with a tacit joint attack technique, can delay even a great orc warrior for a while, but when they meet these guys who come out of their own shadows, they don't even have time to react Just fell to the ground.

The black dagger silently wiped the back of their necks. The fine armor could not resist the erosion of the shadows at all. The dagger pierced through the armor in an instant and cut off the spine.

Several armored guards quickly fell to the ground. Although the manor was heavily guarded, they were basically arranged on the periphery. It was impossible for the eldest prince and Li Cha to meet with tens of hundreds of guards and come out in a tense scene, so At this moment, after the nearest guards fell to the ground, the eldest prince didn't even have a guard around him.

"clang!"

"Your Highness, be careful!"

"Hey!"

The assassin emerged from the shadows again. This time, the assassin shot from a more tricky angle, using the body of the eldest prince as a cover to prevent Kexid from helping him. The eldest prince, Kexid, wanted to help at this time, so he had to even The eldest prince can't be injured together.

However, fortunately, the eldest prince was prepared. When he felt the danger was coming again, he didn't care about the image of the royal family, and just rolled under the table on the spot. Although his back was slashed by the assassin's dagger, he managed to escape. This fatal blow.

The loyal officer around him even disregarded his own safety and held the sword to meet this strange black shadow, making him lose the best chance of chasing him.

Seeing that the eldest prince dodged another blow, the black shadow, who felt that he had no chance, planned to dive into the shadow again, but Kexid's attacks had already followed.

"The same method, do you want to use it a second time in front of me?"

The tyrannical fighting spirit was aroused from Kexide's simple long sword, and instantly penetrated the black shadow. The entire black shadow was cut into several sections in an instant, and when it fell to the ground, it changed from virtual to real, turning into a black block. A puddle of black liquid also flowed out from the lump.

These things drilled out of the shadows turned out to be living entities.

"Protect Your Highness Ward."

After Kexide killed an assassin, several black shadows emerged from the shadows and killed the few people present. The average strength of these assassins was around the peak of the earth level, because they could launch attacks from the shadows. Due to the particularity of surprise attacks, some sky-level masters may also suffer from surprise attacks.

After several assassins appeared, Kexide subconsciously wanted to turn around to protect Li Cha. At this time, Li Cha was impaling an assassin with the Angel League in his hand. The assassin missed a single hit and wanted to sneak into the shadow He escaped, but was stabbed in the heart by Li Cha who was chasing him. After losing his vitality, his entire body floated up from the shadow.

However, several assassins surrounded him and attacked Li Cha. Kexid, who was afraid that Li Cha might make a mistake, immediately prepared to turn around to help, but Li Cha stopped him and ordered him to go back to protect the eldest prince.

Although the strength of these assassins is at the crushing level against the eldest prince and his guards, they are still not enough for Li Cha. If it weren't for their strange actions, several earth-level assassins might have been defeated by Li Cha long ago. At this moment, Li Cha seems to be fighting back and forth with the assassin, but in fact there is no danger at all. Compared with his own safety, Li Cha is more afraid that the eldest prince will die here inexplicably. A bunch of mess for him to clean up.

"Hey!"

Hearing Li Cha's order, Kexide confirmed that there was no problem with Li Cha's side, then nodded and turned to the Eldest Prince. At this time, although the Eldest Prince was hiding under the table, he was miraculously not attacked by the assassins. Several assassins could only emerge from the shadows farther away. There was even an assassin who recklessly emerged from the shadow of Kexid and wanted to directly attack Xied, but the moment he emerged, he was killed. The head was cut off by Kexid's fighting spirit. After a short period of fighting, the assassin's side lost three people in a row, but failed to achieve any substantial results.

"Hide under the table and don't come out!"

Here, Li Cha seemed to remember something after fighting a few more rounds with several assassins. Seeing that the eldest prince seemed to be about to get out from under the table, he immediately yelled to tell him not to move.

It stands to reason that hiding under the table during a war is actually not a good choice. The drill just now was just a temporary escape. Although hiding under the table can be avoided for a while, it almost loses the ability to fight back. This table is not What kind of reinforced iron plate, if two assassins break through Keshid's defense line and stab the underside of the table a few times indiscriminately, they can also stab the prince hiding below into a blood gourd, so the sound of fierce fighting around can be heard, The eldest prince instinctively held the sword and wanted to get out from under the table to fight.

But before he came out, Li Cha yelled and made him shrink back immediately. The eldest prince is not a headstrong person. Although he has his own opinions about fighting, he believes in an expert like Li Cha even more. Since Li Cha wants to Let him continue to hide under the table, he didn't move at all, and continued to lie under the table holding a sword in both hands, waiting for the result of the battle.

"Protect Your Highness!"

"Catch the assassin!"

"Tap Tat Tat..."

Finally, the sound of dense footsteps sounded. Although the guards in the manor were far away, they were not deaf. It was impossible not to hear such a big movement here. After a while, groups of guards in iron armor rushed forward under the leadership of several officers. came in.

The cooperation of hundreds of soldiers was quite methodical. The officer leading the team knew very well that the assassins who dared to assassinate were definitely masters. A few soldiers rushing forward sporadically would not have much effect. threaten.

The guards didn't see the eldest prince hiding under the table, but they could still tell at a glance who was the enemy and who was their own. After all, on one side was Richard, the most powerful man in the kingdom, and on the other side, they were fighting with a group of people who could see at a glance. It is almost clear at a glance which side to help the unscrupulous black shadow.

Under the guidance of the officer pair, they almost instinctively formed a semicircle to surround them, trying to block the escape route of these assassins, they rushed forward with big guns and shields.

It's just that when these reinforcements arrived, the assassins who failed to assassinate instantly disappeared in front of them in a way they couldn't understand.

These black shadows actually drilled directly into the shadows on the ground, and disappeared without a trace.

"His Royal Highness!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

Although the way these assassins disappeared was shocking, after a moment of surprise, the guards still realized what their mission was, and immediately began to search for Ward's traces, but after scanning around, they found that Ward could not be found. There are no traces of De, and the corpses on the ground are obviously not the eldest prince Ward.

Li Cha was also lost in thought at the moment, and he didn't say anything to remind him, leaving the officer who didn't see Ward's figure in a daze.

Until there was a squirm under the only table in the arena, and a figure pushed aside the curtain covering the table and crawled out from below.

"Your Highness!"

"This subordinate's guards are weak, and the assassin was let in. Please punish him, Your Highness!"

"Ahem!"

When the officer saw Ward coming out from under the table, his tone was full of surprise, and he immediately took a few of his men up to protect Ward with large shields. He was really frightened just now, after all, as a guard officer However, if Ward was assassinated and died, he would definitely be involved, waiting for his inevitable and severe punishment.

On the other hand, the eldest prince was a little embarrassed. After all, climbing a table was not a glorious thing. Although he climbed up to survive, it was somewhat embarrassing to be suddenly seen by hundreds of people under him climbing up from under the table.

However, the eldest prince's qi-nourishing kung fu can be regarded as practiced. After a little adjustment, he said without changing his expression:

"It's not your fault, you can't stop these assassins."

As far as the matter is concerned, these assassins who can directly emerge from the shadows have indeed challenged the three views of the eldest prince. It is understandable that the guards under him did not guard against such assassins. Although the eldest prince is a little anxious, it is not a big deal. People who are unreasonable have no intention of punishing their subordinates.

After confirming that he was safe and calmed down a bit, the eldest prince turned his gaze to Li Cha who was still silent, and asked:

"My brother-in-law knows where those assassins came from?"

Just now Li Cha reminded the eldest prince to hide in the table and not to come out, as if he knew something about these assassins, the eldest prince managed to escape after listening to Li Cha's words, now he got up naturally and wanted to learn about these terrifying assassins from Li Cha's mouth.

After the eldest prince asked, Li Cha also recovered from his contemplation, paused and replied:

"I don't dare to confirm what these guys are, but judging by their methods, they seem to be an existence that has disappeared for a thousand years."

"What?"

"Like a subordinate of a certain god in the age of elves, a shadow assassin..."

The Shadow Assassin is a special kind of creature, a family member of the Lord of Shadows. Although its own strength is usually only at the earth level, it was not considered a top-level creature in the era of the Elf Empire thousands of years ago, but it can come in and out of the shadow With special abilities, the Shadow Assassin was the most terrifying assassin of that era.

In various classics of the age of elves, there are records of this kind of creature that is like the nemesis of mages. Richard also saw descriptions of shadow assassins in the days when he was in the library in the capital.

Elf mages under the holy rank are all likely to be assassinated by shadow assassins. This kind of killer who suddenly appears from the shadows is really difficult to guard against. When the shadow assassins are at their most arrogant, some high-level mages will not hesitate to kill them in their mage towers. Spend a lot of mana to solidify a few defensive spells on his body to prevent himself from inexplicably tragic death.

The way to guard against the Shadow Assassin, apart from breaking through with extreme strength, is to stay vigilant as much as possible so that you are not exposed to light while resting, and don't cast shadows around.

The Eldest Prince sneaked under the curtained table just now, which actually blocked the light. After the shadow disappeared, the Shadow Assassin could no longer emerge from the Eldest Prince's shadow to assassinate.

These shadow assassins who tried to assassinate the Eldest Prince could only emerge from the shadows of others to assassinate, which was regarded as a loss of suddenness. Although they were not far from the Eldest Prince, it was difficult for them to break through Kexid's block with their strength. After all Swinging horses and horses to fight, the ten shadow assassins are not Kexid's opponents.
