But when this episode ended, when I looked again, I saw that only a distant figure of Ferdinand was left.

Damn, this guy actually took the opportunity to run away!

Little Balboa cursed softly. How could he bear to be interrupted by such an unexpected incident and lose the credit he had earned?

"Chase!" Little Balbo shouted and chased in the direction the other party fled.

On the other side, affected by the fireball falling from the sky, the soldiers who had gathered a little further away came over to take a look.

"Sir, what's going on?" someone asked.

"An assassin has sneaked into the city and is trying to kill the clerk!" Mansreti shouted. "The standard-bearer is already chasing him. Hurry up, follow the standard-bearer and don't let the assassin get away!"

He could clearly see that little Balbo's combat power was clearly a notch higher than Ferdinand's, especially his unpredictable elemental control ability, which was truly formidable.

Upon hearing what he said, more than a dozen fully armed soldiers immediately chased in the direction of little Balbo.

The soldiers here shouted a few times and more people rushed over.

Someone hurriedly helped Demetrios up.

Dimitrios fell pretty hard just now.

Recovering from his daze, he saw Mansreti trying to chase him, so he quickly shouted, "Knight Mansreti, be careful, there are Assassins in the city!"

"Assassin?" Now Mansreti couldn't leave. He had to protect the clerk.

"Knight Mansreti," the clerk fell hard and could hardly get up on his own, but he still remembered the battle just now.

In the battle just now, to put it simply, two people were suppressing Ferdinand.

He also remembered Mansreti's words and admitted that he was also a protector of the country.

What's going on? Mansreti is also a patriot? And little Balbo is too?

The scene just now couldn't have been a show performed by both parties for him!

If you said that little Balbo had suddenly broken through to protect the country, he would believe it. After all, this kid was quite famous. Although he was brave and aggressive, he was extremely talented in martial arts and was considered by more than one person to be a "promising defender of the country."

The same is true for Andrea. She also showed talent very early, and after years of accumulation, she finally made a breakthrough, which is normal.

But if you say that an old tree like Mansreti can bloom new flowers, he won't believe it!

But the reality is here, you have to believe it!

Could it really be a vision of Christ?

It seems to be true. Since Thomas became the Grand Master, the Knights Templar have been advancing rapidly and have been invincible.

In fact, it feels a bit inappropriate to blame everything entirely on Thomas's own ability.

Thomas publicly declared more than once that he had the protection of Christ.

"Clerk, I'm here," said Mansreti.

Demetrios stood still and waved his hand, signaling the others to move away. "Have you become the Protector of the Nation?"

"Yes," said Mansreti.

"How many of the Knights have become Protectors of the Nation?!" Demetrios was shocked. "Except the Grand Master!"

"There should be five."

"Five!" Demetrios' voice sounded a little choked.

He suddenly understood that this was the trump card left for him by the Grand Commander!

On the other side, little Balbo was chasing after his target relentlessly, but lost sight of him at the corner of the street.

A dozen soldiers behind him arrived in time.

"You guys, go over there!" Little Balbo ordered. "You guys, go over here! Call me immediately if you find the target!"

He just didn't believe that he could still lose the person now!

Chapter 313 Assassination 7

A few minutes later, the soldiers on both sides returned.

They saw nothing, found nothing.

"Really ran away?" Little Balbo was very unwilling.

I only regret that I put on a thick suit of armor in preparation for going to the battlefield.

This armor is not only heavy, but also hinders people from running.

The guy named Ferdinand was obviously only wearing light armor, which had little effect on his body flexibility.

That’s why I can’t catch up!

"Look around again..." He could only make one last effort.

It’s a pity that his extraordinary ability is not of the reconnaissance type, otherwise he probably wouldn’t have come here to look for it.

Ferdinand jumped over a low wall on the way there in an instant.

He also practiced the art of lightness, and his movements were extremely fast and without making any loud noises.

Coincidentally, at that moment, little Balbo looked back to see if anyone else was following him.

So in just a second or two, Ferdinand escaped the pursuit.

Little Balbo just chased a non-existent figure for a long distance, and was destined to find nothing in the end.

After Ferdinand jumped over the wall, he squatted there, motionless.

Until there was no more sound.

He was hit by several icicles. Fortunately, he was wearing armor, so the icicles could not hurt his vital parts. But now the icicles have begun to melt, and the ice is turning into icy water, dripping with blood.

Moreover, due to the effect of the freezing air, the wound will not heal for a while and will continue to bleed slightly.

This injury is nothing to Huguo, but the blood is very troublesome.

If you fall to the ground, you will be the best target for pursuers.

What happened tonight was far beyond Ferdinand's expectations.

Including Andrea, he had already met four protectors of the kingdom. Four protectors of the kingdom from the four knightly orders.

How could the Knights Templar have four protectors of the country?

What era is this? How come so many people who want to protect the country suddenly appear?

Not to mention the strange young knight, he believed that Andrea would become the Protector of the Nation. After all, before he left the Knights, Andrea had already been an elite high-ranking knight, just one step away from becoming the Protector of the Nation.

Although that step is extremely difficult, it is theoretically possible to take it.

Joseph is a protector of the country, so that's fine. After all, he is the Pope's chosen guard.

For most ordinary people in this world, the Protectorate does not exist. But for most of the upper class, they all believe that the leaders of the great powers must have Protectors of the Nation with hidden identities who obey their orders.

It's normal for the church to have one or two protectors. If nothing else, the former Grand Master was a protector.

But Ferdinand would never believe that Mansreti could become the Protector of the Nation by his own strength!

That is to say...

Is it likely that the Knights have also found a magic node?

This is not impossible.

Because he had personally experienced that magic node, he knew that magic nodes really were... there was nothing you couldn't do, as long as you could think of it!

Ferdinand's mouth twitched. It wasn't because of any physical pain, but because he found the world ridiculous.

If Mansreti is qualified to be promoted to Protector of the Nation...

If he were still in the Knights Templar, he would definitely be protecting the country now.

I don’t dare to compare myself with others, but it’s totally okay to replace Mansreti and take away his chance!

He doesn't need to betray, take risks, compete, or even do anything unnecessary.

Can we just say it’s God’s arrangement?

But now he can't turn back!

Ferdinand stood up and wanted to leave from another location.

He didn't know whose courtyard he was hiding in, but now he found out that it seemed to belong to an officer?

Because he found bandages and other hemostatic materials on the tables and chairs in the yard.

It was an unexpected surprise.

After roughly treating the wound, he immediately chose to leave.

It was obvious that there was no way to kill Demetrios this time.

Of course, if he's desperate, he can still try it once.

The success rate is about 50%, but the price is sacrificing yourself.

Ferdinand was not prepared to sacrifice his life for the benefit of the Turks.

Although fame, wealth and power are good, they are definitely not as precious as life!

He had already obtained the castle blueprint from the Italian engineer, so he already had a clear idea of ​​his route.

The Knights are mobilizing heavy troops and attempting a night counterattack.

The Turks were ready for battle.

Of course he couldn't go back from the front - even if the route was the shortest.

If you want to get back safely, you have to go around a big circle.

Fortunately, he was a patriot and it was effortless for him to climb the city wall with his bare hands.

He quickly climbed a section of the city wall.

Although the battle was fierce, not every section of the wall was attacked. For example, this section was far away from the battlefield and was calm.

Logically speaking, he could leave here safely.

But after he came up, a gust of evening breeze blew and he smelled a strong smell of blood.

A battle just broke out here... It was very short, probably no more than an hour!

After calming down and looking around, he soon found traces of a battle.

Dozens of bodies were piled up in a corner of the city wall.

From the clothes and armor of these corpses, we can know that these are the elite soldiers of the Turkic army.

He recognized the one outside in particular. He was a Turkic captain, a high-ranking officer.

Just died here quietly and silently.

The cause of death was a huge hole in his chest—a huge one, like a small artillery wound.

Looking around, Ferdinand roughly understood that this should be a commando unit.

Anyway, the Turks have sufficient military forces, so sending this kind of suicide-oriented commando team to launch surprise attacks from multiple directions is a natural choice.

Taking advantage of the night, when the Knights' main attention is not here, launch a surprise attack. Strike directly into the enemy's empty rear and disrupt the enemy's deployment.

With the help of the elite soldiers' special abilities, they quietly attacked and killed the sentries on the city walls, and then the selected commandos used simple tools such as grappling hooks to climb up the city walls...

At this special time, it has to be said that this is a good card.

What a pity, he died silently here!

Suddenly, I heard a slight sound of metal friction in my ears - it was the sound of metal armor.

Ferdinand was startled and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a familiar face.

"Old man?" he blurted out.
