Chapter 180: 178: Assassination and Natural Disaster (Monthly Ticket 400 plus more)

With the protection of the Kingdom Knights, the journey was much smoother.

Even though they were walking in the area ruled by the Carlisle family, almost all of the people here were nobles who were loyal to Carlisle.
But now, no noble dares to take action!

They all saw how miserable Viscount Wild Boar was, not to mention that two hundred Earth Dragon Knights could crush him directly.

But, what if you think the danger is over?

That's just too naive!

There was no one who could attack her head-on, and Koloy was assassinated three times.

The first one was the Gray Mist Assassins, who came in three waves and used the strategy of "luring the tiger away from the mountain" to transfer Captain Xike, Knight Estelle and Oliveira away.

The last person to take action was Hector Hunter, or more precisely, the Gray Mist Assassin who disguised himself as Hector Hunter and then approached Loy.

Unfortunately, with the talent of 'Deadly Danger', Luo Yi saw through his disguise and attacked directly, killing him on the spot!
Because the person killed was Hector Hunter, the mercenaries almost fell out with Loy, until the real Hector showed up and the misunderstanding was cleared up.

The second time he encountered an assassination attempt was when he was passing through a city and met a hell bard.

After spending a long time outdoors, everyone was exhausted, not to mention that their supplies had been mostly consumed.

So, when they passed by a city called "Carodo", they discussed it and chose to go into the city to rest for a day.

For safety reasons, Captain Xik led his men in first, picked a hotel at random, and booked the entire place, completely clearing out all outsiders.

Soon after, other people entered the city one after another.

It's time to take a shower, eat and drink, rest and replenish supplies.

After a rest, the fatigue of traveling for days was relieved a little.

It was not until the evening when everyone gathered in the hotel lobby that Captain Xik ordered a glass of drink for everyone, which brought the atmosphere to a climax.

It was also at this time that a real bard came.

He has handsome and weathered eyes, a gloomy but smiling expression, and exudes an aura of laziness and fatigue.

His voice is full of stories, and even just humming it softly can make people intoxicated.

His flute sounds melodious and graceful, like a story told in a leisurely manner, which can make people recall the saddest things and shed tears.

As soon as he appeared, everyone in the hotel was fascinated by his singing, and they were addicted to it and couldn't extricate themselves.

Roy, the same goes!
Only Oliveira, whose will was as strong as steel, was not affected and stood in front of the bard with sword in hand.

Fighting spirit was rising in his body, his eyes were like blades, staring coldly, saying nothing and doing nothing.

Oliveira let the bard do his thing and just stared at him, and eventually, the bard retreated.

Afterwards, Loy looked through the ancient scrolls left by the Raymond family and discovered that this was a very rare hell singer!

The Hell Chanter is both a profession and represents a hell minstrel.

According to legend, the man who could be called the messenger of hell on earth traveled across the continent as a bard. When he played his flute, he could even directly hook away the souls of all the mortals in the city.

It is so powerful and terrifying that it is well-known in the Old Continent!
In the past, the Church of the Sun God had sent many strong men to encircle and suppress the rebellion, but the final result was always inconclusive.

I don't know whether they won or suffered heavy losses, but the Bard of Hell has almost never appeared again.

Instead, it is a rare profession, and the hell singer appears in the vision of the great nobles.

They are good at music, and with their singing and flute sounds, they can make people fall into extreme sadness and lose the ability to resist.

Although this profession is legendary among bards and only bards can take up the job, no one knows the specific way of inheritance.

The number is so rare that it is almost impossible to see!

But who would have thought that this time, he was asked by some people to assassinate Luo Yi.

It’s a pity that although the Hell Minstrels are powerful, they are most afraid of warriors with iron wills.

They have experienced countless battles and their will has long been as strong as steel. Even life and death will not move them.

What's more, it's just an emotional fluctuation!
If there is such a warrior, and he is strong enough, he will be the nemesis of the Hell Chanter.

Their strength is still based on certain specific environments. If they really lost their singing voices and flutes, you can't expect them to fight hand-to-hand with the warriors!

Therefore, the hell singer realized that Oliveira did not retreat even a single step and finally retreated.

The reason why Oliveira didn't chase him was because he was afraid that this would be another attempt to "lure the tiger away from the mountain". After all, Luo Yi was unable to protect himself now.

After this attack, even Luo Yi felt scared!
The truth is, this world has been developing extraordinary things for so many years, and there are all kinds of strange and bizarre abilities. It is really hard to say that you can have all of them.

However, in terms of the degree of danger, the third time is the most dangerous!
Because, the one who took action this time was a fourth-level strong man.

He was a natural disaster supported by the McKinley family, a fourth-level wanderer, who had awakened the wind-type fighting spirit and was named "Hurricane".

Although the nobles have resources, no one dares to say that strong people will be born in every generation. Therefore, almost every family will be deeply bound with some famous cultivation geniuses.

First, they would provide resources and exchange military force. When the genius showed high enough talent, they would tie the other party to the family through marriage, title and territory.

This is the method that nobles have used for thousands of years to deal with geniuses and strong people, and it has always worked.

And for those geniuses, it’s worth it!
After all, without these resources, their cultivation speed would be much slower, and without their leadership, it would be difficult to mix in the noble circle. This is a win-win situation!

For example, the half-giant Bane has a close relationship with the Norman family, which is why he was sent by Archduchess Aphra.

And this Hurricane Higgins is the strong man supported by the McKinley family.

He has already taken action, and no one would believe him if he said it was not instructed by the McKinley family.

However, this person had the arrogance of a fourth-level person after all. He did not act stealthily, nor did he hide himself. He just rode a tornado and rushed forward directly.

It was also during this time that Luo Yi witnessed the true strength of the top knights.

Estelle led the 200 Knights of the Kingdom and directly activated the power of the halo. Five streams of fighting spirit were released, connecting and linking the aura of all the knights together.

You know, these knights are not fake knights of the Boar Knights. There is no one below the second rank. They are all official knights.

Although they cannot release their fighting spirit, they have become a whole under the connection of the fighting spirit of five extraordinary strong men.

Then, all this fighting spirit gathered together and was used by Estelle.

Although it was just a pure Dou Qi slash, due to the exaggerated number of slashes, it was dozens of meters long, showing the power to split the heaven and earth.

Even the tornado of a fourth-level strongman was split in half.

The combined strength of two hundred people actually threatened the powerful natural disaster. Luo Yi watched, surprised but also felt it was natural.

There is a reason why the Knights can intimidate the continent.

However, the Kingdom Knights alone are clearly not able to stop Hurricane Higgins, as he is alone and highly flexible.

As long as he is not willing to fight head-on, the Kingdom Knights will have no way to deal with him.

Facing the highly mobile Scourge, Loyi's magic cannon was ineffective.

Without the coverage of saturated firepower, the magic cannon might not be able to do anything to even a third-level disaster, let alone a fourth-level natural disaster.

As a last resort, Oliveira and Sik Francis went forward to meet them, and the five extraordinary people in the Kingdom Knights also drove their earth dragons forward.

In this battle, there were seven extraordinary people besieging a fourth-level person.

Not only that, but Roy also helped with the long-range sniper rifle he got from teacher Gary Mills, equipped with armor-piercing bullets.

If something like that comes out of nowhere, even a fourth-level player has to be careful.

More importantly, with him around, Hurricane Higgins always has to pay some attention.

In this way, the pressure on Oliveira and others will be greatly reduced!

Furthermore, this Hurricane Higgins was actually a little hesitant in his attack, and he didn't care about Oliveira and Six Francis;

However, he couldn't help but care about Estelle and the other four extraordinary knights.

Especially Estelle, there is a half-giant Bane standing behind her. If he really uses ruthless force, the half-giant Bane will definitely fight him to the death.

Besides, the four extraordinary knights each have a lot of involvements behind them, and he also has to survive in the Norman Duchy, which gives him a headache.

Just like this, the battlefield showed a bit of a stalemate.

Luo Yi even left the convoy directly, constantly looking for cover and shooting points, and when he saw the right opportunity, he would shoot from behind.

He also discovered it during this process.

If the one who chased Oliveira was not the Earth-type Oath Knight, but this person, Oliveira would definitely not have been able to escape.

The Oath Knight is strong, but his speed and flying are his weaknesses.

This guy flew as fast as a hurricane. Oliveira couldn't do anything to him, and neither could Roy.

The battle was finally ended by the intervention of another fourth-level warrior, a swordsman who had awakened the fire-type fighting spirit.

By the time Hurricane Higgins left, six of the seven extraordinary people had collapsed to the ground, and the only one standing was Oliveira.

He finally calmed down the [God's Sigh·Giant Beast's Heartbeat] that was about to be triggered, and silently looked at the distant natural disaster with an inexplicable expression.

Do you think this is over?
In fact, from that day on, although no one came to disturb the convoy's progress, there were still violent fluctuations of fighting spirit and magic power surrounding the convoy from time to time.

In the corners that no one can see, the fights between those people have happened more than once or twice.

Obviously, the original assassination turned into a fight between two camps!
Even Luo Yi was a little flattered and thought that this was too much.

But a word from the pretty girl Eva solved his confusion.

"Rather than letting you arrive in Auxerre and cause trouble, it is better to assassinate you and let you die on the road."

“This is the least costly method.”

"As for the current fourth-order chaos, you are just the fuse. The real reason is the accumulation and outbreak of contradictions between the two sides."

However, no matter what, after a twenty-day journey, they finally arrived at the end of the journey.

Auxerre, here we are!
　Oh, it’s still a little late, it’s past twelve o’clock, sorry!
