Heart of the Castle

Chapter 546 Escape from the bloody battle and demonize the capital

Relying on their strong physical fitness, the marching speed of the demon army has always been amazing. The speed of the horned devil and hellhound is not even worse than that of ordinary war horses.Although the human defenders on the first line of defense were all on horses when they retreated, most of the soldiers' riding skills were terrible, and they could barely manage to keep from falling off their horses.If it weren't for the traps that Li Wei commanded the little monsters to arrange in advance, they would have been overtaken by the demon troops that rushed to kill them.

After Li Wei rode the Black Nightmare in the Northern Territory alone, every time when the demon pursuers approached, they were greeted by an extremely hot fireball, which then triggered a huge explosion, blowing up hundreds of demons in the front. gotta smash.After repeating this process two or three times, even the most simple-minded horned demons were unwilling to rush to the front.In fact, if it weren't for the fear of their commander, the lord of the abyss, General Gondor, these demons might even stop their pursuit.

The Griffin Lord didn't attack with fireball every time, because there weren't many places where smoke traps were placed, and the magic power also limited the number of times he could use fireball.Sometimes he would even turn his horse's head and charge for a while. With the super high speed of the Dark Nightmare in the North and the power of resisting the ring of fire, every time the Griffon Lord was able to get out before being surrounded by the demon army, and he could Achieved a pretty good record.

A pair of cold purple eyes without any emotion watched Li Wei's figure on the roof in the distance. Whether he saw the fireball erupting and blowing up a large number of demons who were chasing him; The enemy in front of him was either knocked to the ground by the knight's sword, or trampled under the horse's hooves. There was no change of emotion in these eyes, as if they were dead objects.

The roof where the eyes are located is the necessary place for the retreat of the human defenders. The house itself is high and has a wide view, just like a natural watchtower.Of course, Li Wei did not ignore this important strategic location. He sent three scouts there to serve as guards and observation missions. The mission of these scouts was to observe the enemy's situation. The oak badge indicates that they come from the Sherwood family in the north - this family has always been famous in the north for its well-trained archers and scouts.

Now they were all lying on the ground without a sound, with no injuries on their bodies, only a line of blood left by the sharp knife cutting their necks.It can be seen that their deaths came extremely quickly, and there was still a little confusion in their wide-eyed eyes, and they didn't even have time to draw out the short sword for body protection.

An excellent scout may not need strong combat capabilities, but he must have keen eyesight and hearing, and he should not be unfamiliar with stealth and hiding.It's not difficult to kill them, but it's much more difficult to make three excellent scouts lose their lives without even having time to react, even if the demon lord does it himself.

However, for the Shadow Assassin known as "the sharpest dagger in the hands of the demon lord" and "the silent blade", dealing with these scouts is just a matter of effort, and there is nothing to be proud of.

Seeing Li Wei's figure gradually approaching, the pair of purple eyes hidden in the shadows narrowed slightly, and for the first time there was a slight emotional change in the eyes, which seemed to be a little apprehensive, but more bloodthirsty excitement. "Leviston..." The hoarse voice murmured lightly, dissipating into the night sky with killing intent.

These shadow assassins walking in the dark are famous or notorious, depending on whether you look at them from the perspective of demons or humans.Their poison-enhanced double knives contain powerful dark magic power. With special techniques, piercing thick knight armor is no more difficult than cutting a piece of butter; Only a blurry phantom could be seen flashing by.

But the strongest weapon of the shadow assassin is not these, but the shadow stealth ability that can hardly be detected in advance. This ability between magic and supernatural power can make them become part of the shadow, so as to pass through the narrowest gaps and The strictest protection.

This trump card is omnipotent, even if it is as strong as a sky knight or a great magister, it can only react when the sharp blade is close to the neck, but it loses its due effect in front of a person.

Gryphon Lord Leviston.

The thin figure of the Shadow Assassin slowly emerged from the dark corner. Although the ability of Shadow Stealth is powerful, it has many restrictions, one of which is that it cannot attack while sneaking.However, many powerful shadow assassins can shorten the time between getting out of the shadows and launching an attack to one-tenth of a heartbeat interval, which is almost no different from launching at the same time.

However, for Levi Stone, who can see through the shadows and stealth, no matter how long the time is, the shadow assassin can completely guess the end of his sneak past, either being blown to pieces by a fireball, or being blown to pieces by that terrible black horse. Stepping hard under the horse's hoof.

The devil's pursuers swarmed up again, and this time, besides the howling horned devil charging towards it with a roar, there was also the figure of the Winged Demon Annihilator in the sky.Li Wei slowed down unhurriedly, waiting for those winged demons to pounce down, and then swung the knight sword forcefully towards his head, a fierce arc tore apart the black shadow falling from the sky, and piercing screams cut through the air And rise.Then the Dark Nightmare of the Northern Territory under the Griffon Lord's crotch also let out a long hiss, leaped up with both hooves, and the light that resisted the fire ring flashed, and several howling horned demons that rushed over were suddenly flashed. The fire light bounced back, slammed into the pursuers who followed closely, and then fell into a ball with the terrible sound of fractures.

Looking at the demon, the Shadow Assassin's face wrapped in rune cloth moved slightly, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.No matter how many demons die, it won't make the Shadow Assassin feel a bit of heartache. There is only one thought in his mind. The Griffin Lord Li Wei and his mount are already fighting with all their strength. Obviously, there is no way to spare energy to observe the surrounding area. Therefore, it is very easy to be attacked by long-range weapons.

Shadow Assassins rarely use long-range weapons, not because they can't use them, but because neither bows nor other throwing weapons can exert the maximum effect of shadow stealth.In fact, due to their agility and keen perception, every shadow assassin can be regarded as an assassination shooter with a considerable level. At the beginning, there was a heavy crossbow in their equipment, but soon because they could not use it, they were no longer able to use it. It is deleted from the equipped sequence.

Now this heavy crossbow finally comes in handy.While thinking about it with satisfaction, the Shadow Assassin took out a strange crossbow bolt from his bosom, and carefully installed it on his heavy crossbow.

This crossbow bolt has a unique style from hell, behind the cruel barbed arrow head, there is a very delicate magic rune imprint.He installed the crossbow very cautiously, almost moving inch by inch, as if holding his own life in his fingers.

In fact, it was indeed his life.

The reputation of this crossbow is almost as terrible as that of the Shadow Assassin, and its power is so powerful that even the demon alchemists who made this weapon are terrified. They call it "the tooth of madness" in awe.The materials used to make this crossbow are very unique, the most important of which is the addition of the blood of the gods, which produces a terrifying force that cannot be resisted by any magic and fighting spirit.

However, the demons are not very willing to use this weapon, because corresponding to its powerful power, it is extremely poor in safety.Abyss madmen have always been famous for their madness, and the purpose of naming this weapon after them is exactly the same.This crossbow bolt only needs a slight vibration to explode, turning the surrounding five meters into a storm full of various violent magical energies.

The shadow assassin breathed a sigh of relief until the crossbow arrow clicked into place, and then he steadily raised the heavy crossbow, aiming at the figure galloping across the demon army.

Li Wei, who was in a fierce battle with the demon chasing soldiers, was completely incapable of detecting the crisis that occurred 100 meters away. Although his keen intuition made him feel uneasy, but under the pursuit of the demon army, the sense of crisis lasted for almost a second. The clock didn't stop, so Li Wei just swung the knight sword in his hand more vigorously, slashing the demon in front of him to death.

"Die, Griffon Lord." The shadow assassin whispered softly, and then gradually tightened his fingers on the crossbow...

A skinny arm pushed the heavy crossbow aside.The Shadow Assassin's body stiffened in an instant, and he was completely unaware that someone had actually arrived by his side.This is simply unbelievable. The Shadow Assassin is an expert in sneak attacks, and he is also an expert in anti-sneak attacks. Even if his attention is distracted by targeting the Griffin Lord, he doesn't think anyone can touch him quietly. !
unless……

The Shadow Assassin turned his head, and what he saw was a haggard body wrapped in rune cloth strips like himself, but his eyes were not purple, but blood red like a still flame burning inside. "Alan Skett! Do you know what you did just now?" The shadow assassin lowered the dangerous heavy crossbow in his hand and shouted angrily.

The No.2 Shadow Assassin was not moved at all, and waited for half a minute before calmly answering, "Of course I know, but the life of the Griffin Lord is mine. You, don't move!" He His voice was as dry as a broken glacier, and there was a hissing sound like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue at the end of the sentence, which made everyone who heard it feel a creepy feeling.

"May the light shine on your head!" the Shadow Assassin cursed angrily in a low voice, "Alan Skett, is this your excuse to stop me, Golo Anse, from making a contribution?" He looked at Alan Skett, His eyes were full of resentment, "Get out of here immediately, or I will go to Lord Gondor to sue you! At that time, you will die!"

"Lord Gondor did not give the order to kill Leviston." Alan Skett said unmoved, "You acted without authorization and brought out such a dangerous weapon as the fang of madness, you are dead You are the right person."

"If you can kill Levi Ston, Lord Gondor will definitely be happy. Alan Skett, Levi Ston may have been your target, but now his life is mine, you should hurry up Good to leave, otherwise..." Shadow Assassin Golo Ansai made a fierce gesture under the neck with one hand, and then looked away from his companion.

This was the first mistake he made today, and the last.

A pair of poison-enhanced daggers exuding emerald green light stabbed in from both sides of his ribs at the same time. The sharp blades easily cut through the leather armor, muscles and bones all the way, and then successfully joined forces in his abdominal cavity.The severe pain like burning flames violently penetrated Goluo Ansai's body, and he let out a hoarse scream immediately, and then purplish red blood froth spewed out of his mouth.

If it were an ordinary person, the vicious backstab this time was enough to kill him on the spot. Even if a powerful demon could survive, he would lose most of his fighting power due to the severe pain.However, the cold-blooded killing machine of the Shadow Assassin is made in an extremely cruel process. Compared with the pain and trauma they have suffered, the body pierced by a sharp blade is just ordinary.

Goluo Ansai reacted almost as soon as he was injured, and threw the heavy crossbow equipped with the "fang of madness" at Alan Skett.As for this terrifying weapon, Alan Skett also did not dare to underestimate it, immediately pulled out the two daggers, and the whole figure dodged backwards like a phantom.

The heavy crossbow almost flew past Aransket's hair, and then fell heavily on the roof behind him.Then there was a violent explosion in the Fang of Madness. The loud noise was like a thunderbolt exploding in the ear, emitting extremely dazzling fire and lightning, and the whole house shook violently, shaking like a leaf in a strong wind.

The agility of the Shadow Assassins allows them to stabilize their bodies in harsher terrains, but no house can withstand such terrible vibrations.With a deafening clack, the house of stones, plaster, and logs collapsed in the middle, sending Shadow Assassin and Alan Skett down.

If the two poisoned daggers were not severely wounded, then no matter the height of the house or the collapsed rubble, it would not cause any damage to Goloanse. Fight in harsh conditions.Goluo Ansai tried his best to maintain his balance in the air, but when he fell to the ground, the shock still caused the wound on his ribs to open again, and purple blood gushed out violently.

Even though his eyes were dark from the pain, the steely willpower of the Shadow Assassin still allowed Goluo Ansai to clearly judge the harsh situation in front of him, and he immediately lowered his body.Facts have proved that this is extremely wise, because in the next instant, a green light wiped across the air without a sound, and the position happened to be where his neck was just now.

Goluo Ansai used a series of quick rolls to get away from the danger, and when he jumped up again, he was already firmly holding a pair of identical poisoned daggers with both hands. "Alan Skett!" He called out his companion's name again, "You actually want to kill me, are you crazy?"

"Crazy...it's you." The figure of Alan Skett emerged from the shadows, his tone was cold, and his eyes were as sharp as a dagger in his hand. "Devils are not masters who can dedicate loyalty to me. In the original tragedy, I could vaguely see their figures participating in it!"

Golo Anse squinted his eyes and looked at the other party. He didn't notice the deep and long bloody scars on Alan Skett's ribs and arms until then, and his expression immediately became stiff. "Is that... a scar caused by a dagger? Aranskate! Damn it! How many companions of the Shadow Assassin have you killed?"

"Not many." Alan Skett showed a mocking smile, and his white teeth were exposed from the wrapping of the rune cloth, "All the guys who are willing to serve as the lackeys of the devil will be dealt with by me, Goluo Ansai, you It's the last one."

Golo Anse slowly stood up straight, he knew that Alan Skett was not lying, the talent of this junior is really enviable, he is also a high-level shadow assassin, and Golo Anse, who has decades of assassination experience, is very Clearly, even if he is unscathed, he may not be the opponent of this junior.

Yet now he must fight for his life.

The emerald green light suddenly confronted each other, and the battle between the shadow assassins was extremely silent. There was no clanging of weapons blocking, nor roaring and shouting, only the hissing sound of the dagger cutting the air and the sharp blade piercing into the flesh. The wet sound of pulling out.When dealing with other enemies, Shadow Assassins often use weird and varied moves to confuse the opponent's sight, but when they fight with each other, they only use the simplest and most direct actions, inserting the dagger into the opponent as quickly as possible body of.

Blood splattered, and the two figures stopped at the same time and faced each other silently, the distance between them was within reach.There was a wound on the outer side of Arlan Skett's left arm and right shoulder respectively. Although it was as thin as a hair, the bone was deeply visible, and the blood immediately soaked the rune cloth strips near the wound.And Golo Ansai was covered in blood, with several scars on his chest, abdomen and hands, at least two of which were fatal to ordinary people.

"Alan Skett...don't forget, you are already a member of the demons..." Golo Ansel suddenly said hoarsely, and blood gushed down from the corner of his mouth, like a purple snake crawling across his jaw . "You will never be trusted, never..." His body sat down slowly, then fell forward, and the last few words were stuck in his throat forever by the gushing blood.

"Can't you be trusted? Maybe it's not the same as you imagined..." Alan Skett's injury was actually very serious. He muttered to himself, leaning against a broken wall with difficulty, He looked towards the north.

There was a sound of cheers, Griffin Lord Li Weiston had arrived safely and joined the defenders of the second line of defense.
