War Paradise

"Sand King is dead? Really boring."

The wheat-skinned woman kicked the meat on the ground: "I finally summoned it. It's over so soon? I haven't played enough..."

"Don't forget, our task is to assassinate the lord." The disfigured man stood by the window and stared at the street vigilantly: "If you drag it on like this, they will search for it sooner or later."

"It's okay, I have something bigger here..." The female assassin stretched her right hand into her pocket enthusiastically: "Before I came, I stole a lot of good things from the Brotherhood."

"They will kill you." The disfigured man said and raised his head, staring at the dim sky:

An eagle is soaring over the city, circling circle after circle here. In urban areas where there is no prey, this situation is rare.

"Um……"

The disfigured man stared at the eagle with furrowed brows. When he was about to speak, the woman sitting beside the bloody magic circle reading a book, smiled and said:

"Grint, you think I use this—"

"Go!"

The disfigured man named Grint suddenly squatted on the ground, and the glass in front of the window cracked with a slap. A Shiratori arrow smashed the window and flew into the room. Under the white cloth tied behind the arrow, a sparkling white light suddenly lit up.

boom!

The living room was suddenly filled with gray smoke, and the two of them coughed. Grint grabbed the woman's arm and dragged her through the back window.

"It's Falcon! We have been found!" Grint's voice was very nervous.

"But... that's impossible?" The woman looked at him with a confused look.

It is said that the very few top assassins of the Brotherhood have the special ability to train falcons. These assassins don't even need to detect them by themselves. They can see the enemy's position and movement through the eyes of the falcon.

Since there is no assassin who can train the Falcon in the current Brotherhood, Grint didn't expect this to happen just now. But now, now that the other party has launched an attack, the situation is clear:

"The mission failed. Here is an assassin who can train the Falcon. We can't be his opponent!"

"You worry too much, it's just a coincidence, right?" The woman looked at her companion unconvinced, stood up and walked to the other side of the alley.

Although they are rarely forced to this point, when they are discovered, the two will immediately separate their actions.

This will not only make it easier to escape from tracking, and when you encounter a lone tracker, you can also take advantage of the enemy's pursuit of one of the assassins, and the other person can complete the counter-kill.

The woman hid in the low bushes, her amazingly flexible body curled up directly on the ground, the whole person seemed to be completely integrated with the bushes, and there was no trace of it from the outside.

She took out the short Flying Daggers from her arms and held them in her hands, slowing down her breathing rate, and pressing her left ear to the ground to listen to nearby sounds.

As a rookie assassin from the Brotherhood, her ability to identify voice and position can be called superb. Just listening to the sound of footsteps can determine the number of enemies, the size of each person, and even the small metal impact. Check out what weapon the other party is carrying.

Even if the enemy is really a top assassin, it is impossible to walk without making any noise. If that guy dared to approach, this dangerous female assassin would immediately throw the poisonous blade Flying Daggers, and have a dead fish with the other party!After listening for a moment, she only heard Grint running towards the west. It seems that the enemy who shot the arrow just now has not approached this area.

——In that case, how about taking the initiative to fight back?

Thinking of this, the female assassin licked her dry lips and let out a faint laugh.

Then……

"What are you laughing at? Rookie."

Just a few steps behind her, a weak-sounding male voice sounded. The astonished female assassin instantly turned her head, and among the sparks, she understood a terrifying fact:

If there is no sound of footsteps, it means that the person speaking has long been hiding in the bushes, but his extremely sensitive ability has never been able to discover the existence of this person!

"Uh……"

The woman had not been able to see the other side's appearance clearly, her neck suddenly hurt, and her whole body instantly lost consciousness. The flying Daggers in her hand were taken out by inertia and hit the wall five meters away.

After knocking out the female assassin, a figure draped in leaves stood up behind the bushes, and Ren You tore off his "lucky suit" to reveal his bandaged upper body.

He looked down at the female assassin who had been knocked out by himself, and then sighed long, showing a depressed expression of hatred for iron and steel on his handsome and scarred face:

"After I left, the selection criteria of the Brotherhood really got lower and lower..."

Ren You raised his right hand in front of him, and the Falcon still hovering in mid-air fell on his hand. He touched the small gray-black head of the falcon with his left hand, then took a note from his pocket and tied it to the hawk's claws with a thin thread.

"Old man, give the information to Night Shadow, go."

After receiving the master's signal, it seemed that the "old man" who could understand human words flapped his wings and flew towards the Flame Wind Palace.

Ren You originally thought that there was only one assassin in the Brotherhood, so he would choose to solve the problem alone. Now that he has learned that the other party has two people, it is better to let the assassins take away the assassin first.

As for himself, he wanted to hunt down another assassin who had escaped. According to Ren You's experience, the abilities of the other person were much better than this unreliable woman.

It is conceivable that what I am facing is a tough battle. But before that...

"puff."

Ren You spouted another mouthful of blood, stretched out his hand to support the painful waist, and his legs began to tremble.

"Damn General Qin, the attack is too heavy." He whispered.

...

At the same time, Grint had put on his black hood again and ran wildly on the narrow streets.

He has been discovered, and there should be a large-scale raid in the city soon. My immediate task now is to take advantage of the last chance before the army arrives and find a way to escape from Flamewind City!

Of course, Grint would naturally not enter the city unpreparedly. He had installed a simple grappling hook from the wall on the west side of Flamewind City.

As long as you use a light crossbow fitted with a rope and shoot at the grappling hook, you can create a temporary "rope ladder", which can be used to climb over the tall city wall and enter the dense forest near Flamewind City.

Once you hide in that forest, you are safe. Although I don't know if that stupid woman can escape successfully, but now she can't control other people.

"Life is important..." Grint muttered to himself in a low voice.

No one in the Brotherhood knows what happens after the assassin is arrested better than Grint:

Before he was caught last time, he was actually a handsome and handsome man. Unfortunately, he was just a fledgling novice assassin.

Grint's first assassination was considered successful, and the target died very happy. Unfortunately, Grint, who succeeded in killing the target, failed to escape the scene and was caught by the guards. Then...

Recalling the cruel torture he had suffered in the underground torture room, Grint couldn't help shivering. In countless nightmares, the torture room reappeared in front of him again and again.

Although he was rescued, Grint is already completely ruined. The handsome guy who could make girls scream has turned into a "ghost face man" who can scare children to cry.

"I will run away." Grint kept repeating the thought.

He is not the one with the strongest assassination ability, but he is definitely the one who can run the most. This time, this legendary assassin in terms of running skills will also successfully escape as usual!

Rushing into the bushes across the street, Grint checked the weapons he was carrying. I was about to continue on my way, but I heard a rapid dog barking across the street.

"Damn it, is it because of that arrow..."

Grint immediately realized that the smoke created by the "explosive arrow" that the other party had shot through the window before actually carried scent information for tracking. Seeing two big black dogs running fast, Grint took out the crossbow, narrowed his right eye and quickly aimed.

Snapped!

"Wow!"

The bulldog running on the left wailed and fell to the ground, the head of Zhongjian still bleeding. The dog on the right did not run a few steps and was shot by Grint's crossbow.

Although he solved the hunting hound, Grint didn't dare to take it lightly, just turned and continued to run wildly, turning his head and looking behind him from time to time.

——I just killed the other's dog and didn't see anyone. Before killing the tracker, Grint would not rest.

"Unexpectedly, there are assassins who can train falcons in Flamewind City..." He thought secretly in his heart.

I thought it was an easy task, but I ran into a difficult opponent. If the woman hadn't fiddled with the moths, this assassination would have ended long ago.

Thinking of the woman's happy appearance when she summoned the "Sand King", Grint was so angry that her face was almost crooked, and her ugly appearance became even more hideous.

He walked through the bushes at the fastest speed, hid in the neighborhood next to him, and bypassed the two dark blue houses. What he saw was a large number of rocky buildings of varying heights.

The alleys here extend in all directions, the internal structure is extremely complicated, and there are many dead ends inside. For newcomers or road idiots, this place can be said to be a nightmare.

But in Grint's view, this is an excellent escape place.

When he first arrived at Flamewind City, he immediately investigated this "maze", circled here a few times, and remembered every route inside.

There is no doubt that this place is the perfect location to throw off the enemy. Now that falcon is not flying in the air, and the two hounds have been killed. If there is only one person on the other side, I can just get rid of him here!

——But the other party may think so too...

Dangerous thoughts suddenly appeared in Grint's mind, which made him, who was very confident, suddenly hesitate.If the tracker is from Flamewind City, the tracker may have a deeper understanding of this complex building area than himself. If that person had anticipated the escape route of own, and had made preparations here in advance...

"This is impossible."

Grint shook his head vigorously, drove away the frustrated thoughts, and continued to run wildly in the empty alley.

This building area is unusually quiet, and there seems to be no one inside. The residents who originally lived here, presumably because of the Sand King, chose to collectively take refuge.

For the assassin, this empty state is not a good phenomenon, mixing into the crowd is the right choice.

However, there should be only one tracker, as long as he can get rid of him here...

Grint thought, passing through the deep alley, turning a bend at the second intersection ahead, and suddenly it went dark in front of him.

boom!

With a heavy kick on his waist, Grint staggered and retreated two steps. The disfigured assassin threw Flying Daggers into the shadows, but heard a crisp jingle.

Realizing that the Hidden Weapons he was throwing was blocked, Grint took advantage of the opportunity to retreat and ran away, turning back and throwing a black ball back.

The thick white smoke immediately blocked the way behind him, gaining a short escape opportunity for Grint. Grint turned left at the entrance of the next alley and just rushed into another alley when he heard the sound of bows and arrows breaking behind him.

"How can... so fast..."

Grint hid in the dark corner, stared nervously at the alley behind him, slowly raised his crossbow, and aimed at the narrow passage.

At this point, he can be sure that his pessimistic inference just now has come true-the situation is really going in the worst direction, and the enemy has foreseen in advance that the assassin will hide here and has already set a trap.

In that case, other methods can only be used...

Grint reached out and grabbed the protruding bricks on the wall, and easily climbed over the three-meter-high courtyard wall into a comfortable "farmyard".

Even in the face of heavy siege, when he was on the brink of desperation, Grint still had the last way to escape-disguised as an enemy, mixed in with the enemy and took the opportunity to escape.

Judging from the cluttered footsteps nearby, there is more than one enemy in this building area. The person I saw just now was dressed in black and covered his face. If he could pretend to be that guy, he would have a chance to escape!

Grint hid in the room, tore off a piece of black cloth by the window, and began to make a simple makeup. For the assassins of the Brotherhood, this degree of disguise can be said to be a required course.

"I won't... die here."

In a life-and-death situation, Grint's hands that were making the mask were still very steady. He cut the cloth with a knife, made a shape similar to the masked man just now, and wrapped it around his face.

There are more than one enemy ambushing here, but there are many people. What Grint has to do now is to mix into the enemy's camp and find a chance to escape!

But... what Grint didn't know was that he was tracking own at this time, not just other assassins.

There is another tracker who he didn't even dream of appearing here:

"Lord, you can't go in, it's too dangerous..." Shen Wenchong tried to dissuade.

"Don't worry, I will catch him with my own hands."

The kid standing at the entrance of the alley had a confident smile on his delicate face.
