Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 466 Ambush
Five minutes ago, after Shavlock gave the order to attack, the blasphemous assassins poured out towards the military camp not far away.

The firelight around the camp guided the assassins' direction of advance. It took the 17 blasphemous assassins less than three minutes and effortlessly reached the outskirts of the camp ahead of the Death Knight. According to the plan, they would sneak into the camp first and create chaos in the camp as quickly as possible to shake the morale of the troops.

For example, setting fires everywhere, burning down the entire camp and plunging the place into complete environmental chaos. Another example is to assign some people to secretly murder all the soldiers in an entire tent, then deliberately leave one alive, and then apply a slow-acting chronic poison on the blade that is lethal enough.

Use this dagger to blind one of his eyes, let him see the tragic scene in the tent with his remaining eye, and then deliberately let him run away. This way, the soldiers will spread panic throughout the entire camp in the blaze, and they will turn into the gods of death hunting in the shadow of the flames, easily turning this place into a paradise of murder.

However, just as they were about to stir up chaos as planned, the first few blasphemous assassins who approached the camp suddenly and passively revealed their figures.

The Blasphemous Assassins reacted quickly. They retreated quickly before their figures were fully revealed, blending themselves into the darkness around them, thus preventing themselves from being "discovered by the soldiers in the barracks."

But such an accident did force all the assassins to wait passively on the spot for dozens of seconds. They had to rely on this time to determine whether their whereabouts had been exposed. Even so, after dozens of seconds, they did not notice any unusual movements from the military camp.

After that, the Profane Assassins quickly regrouped and headed towards the military camp again. This time they did not rely on supernatural abilities such as invisibility, but instead used the most basic stealth skills of an assassin.

By making the most of the surrounding shadow environment and the blind spots of potential personnel, the assassins successfully reached the outermost edge of the camp in a few seconds, and were even only separated from the inner camp by a fence.

Hiding in the shadow of the fence, listening to the occasional noise coming from the barracks and the scraping of armor from patrolling soldiers, the assassins once again confirmed the safety of their whereabouts, and then quickly selected four assassins with the best stealth skills to sneak into the camp.

They must first find the thing that can make them visible, so that they can successfully implement the subsequent plan.

But perhaps it was the blessing of the god of murder. Before the four assassins who had lurked in could take more than two steps forward, they found the thing that made their invisibility ineffective in an open space not far away.

It is a developing magic circle, and not just an ordinary developing magic circle. Every blasphemous assassin has some knowledge about this unique magic circle that can dispel supernatural invisibility, but the magic circle that appears before their eyes is no ordinary stuff.

After a period of observation and verification, the blasphemous assassins determined that this was an ultra-large-scale development array composed of multiple small arrays.

The pillar in front of them with a blank crystal on top was one of the pillars of this super-large magic array. The blasphemous assassins knew that if they removed this thing, the magic array in this area would lose its function, and the mage who set up the array would not notice that it had failed, because the mage himself was not the one who provided energy to the array, so he would not have any connection with this thing.

After confirming this, the blasphemous assassins took immediate action. The four assassins hid in the shadows again. After listening to the voices of the patrolling soldiers fading away, they immediately followed the shadows and quickly moved towards the inconspicuous pillar.

Then he stepped directly into the trap, and the dense negative energy instantly spread from the trigger point! The dark green light of death instantly filled the assassins' eyes, quickly taking the lives of the four assassins, leaving them with only a hasty scream before they died, so as to remind the blasphemous assassins who were still hiding outside and had not yet entered the trap to hurry and escape.

Yes, that's right, the developing magic circle was just a bait, and the sounds heard and the figures seen by the blasphemous assassins were all spell phantoms prepared in advance by Mizola, the scenes brought about by the seventh-ring spell [Mirage]. All of this was to weaken them to the greatest extent, lower their vigilance, and make them think they have found our countermeasures, thus ignoring the real trap, which was the eighth-ring [Death Magic Circle] that Mizola cast by raising the ring.

At this moment, there were only 13 Profane Assassins and three Death Knights still alive. Due to the plan they had made previously, the Death Knights deliberately kept a distance from the assassins in order to prevent them from being discovered in advance due to their overly conspicuous appearance.

Now they are separated from each other by a distance of about 150 meters, which is actually a very awkward distance. Because of the distance, the Death Knights cannot support the assassins in the first place and cover their retreat. As front-line professions, at the current distance, the best thing for them to do is to seize the time and turn around and run away.

Although running away was not unacceptable to the Death Knights, running away without even seeing the enemy was an embarrassing and shameful act. Even though they had already fallen, the stubborn character they had developed as Holy Knights would not allow them to run away so easily.

'At least find out what happened.'

The three Death Knights thought so, so they ignored the assassins who were rushing towards them, and just stood there silently, drawing their weapons and ready to meet the enemy's next attack.

However, at this moment, the Death Knights suddenly saw that the assassins, who had not even turned themselves into invisible again in order to retreat as quickly as possible, stopped running as if they had seen a ghost. The boots on their feet scraped two trails of dust on the rocky surface, and their entire bodies were clearly resisting, resisting the direction they were heading...

'not good! ! ! ’

The three death knights immediately turned around and saw a paladin with a resolute face, fully armored, holding a half-body shield and a war hammer suddenly appear behind them.
