As for those who are at the same level as him, unless the other party is completely off guard, they will definitely be able to sense something unusual as long as they pass by where he is.

Therefore, Raven has never successfully assassinated someone of his level.

As for those who are higher than him, Raven has not encountered them yet.

Fortunately, Owen did not pass by the corner where Raven was. After observing the two people go into a room and then separate, Raven felt that the time had come.

To be on the safe side, Raven waited for another two hours, thinking that Litt and Owen should have fallen asleep before taking action.

He came to the door of Litt's room, entered the room along the shadow of the crack in the door, and then saw the light on beside the bed and Litt lying on the bed and falling asleep.

"Although we have no grudges against each other, your existence is a threat to my future, so please die."

Raven muttered quietly to himself before emerging from the shadows, ready to take out Leeteuk.

At this moment, the door behind him suddenly opened, Owen rushed in, and stabbed Raven with a sword.

Raven was startled and didn't dare to fight for his life. He gave up the assassination of Litt and dodged Owen's attack instead.

"I knew you would take action at this moment!" Owen said, raising his sword to protect Litt.

At this time, Litt also sat up from the bed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Raven, it seems that you still can't take my life."

Facing Litt's provocation, Raven sneered.

"Hmph, it's okay. If I can't take it this time, I'll come again next time. You'd better be able to defend yourself every time."

After saying this harsh word, Raven dived into the shadows again and left.

Owen stayed on both sides of Litt, and even after he noticed that the dangerous aura around him had disappeared, he still did not leave.

"Sure enough, they still sent someone."

Owen said so.

In terms of familiarity with Raven, after Giovanni's death, Owen, who used to visit Raven every day, should be the one who knew him best.

He knew that ravens had the ability to hide in the shadows, so he deliberately paid attention to the places where ravens could hide. After discovering that this building was full of flaws, Owen was sure that ravens would definitely come in the next two days, so today he deliberately let Litt pretend to sleep for a while, just to trick raven out.

After this incident, Owen was ready to comprehensively strengthen the security here, at least to ensure that there was no blind spot lighting coverage, to ensure that Raven would not attack Litt again.

Of course, even if there were no connected shadows, it would not be impossible for Raven to succeed if he simply rushed in from the side without using his own abilities.

Therefore, during this period of time, at least until the raven is caught again, we must not take it lightly.

"Phew, thanks to Mr. Owen, otherwise, I might have died under the Raven's knife today."

"Thank you Orson. If he hadn't told me about this in advance, I probably wouldn't have come here."

Owen said so.

His current mission, in addition to helping Orson, is to capture Raven again.

After all, no matter what, Raven is a serious criminal of the empire, and it was the fault of the Public Security Bureau to mistakenly let him go.

After this assassination, Owen finally understood why Raven was released.

He has completely lost trust in Arthas.

The once righteous and brave prince changed drastically after becoming emperor.

He was also glad that he saw through Arthas in time and stood on Orson's side, otherwise, he would be aiding and abetting the evil.

……

On the other side, after escaping in a hurry, the raven was preparing to return to the palace to report to Arthas.

The fact that his assassination attempt on Litt was predicted in advance proved that there must be an insider next to Arthas who told the coalition forces the information in advance, otherwise it would be impossible for Litt to pretend to be asleep today.

However, when he came to an alley again, he stopped.

In front of him, a little blonde girl was standing at the entrance of the alley, with her hands behind her back and her bloodshot eyes wide open, looking at him curiously.

"Hey, big brother, why are you walking alone in a place like this so late at night? Isn't it dangerous?"

The raven looked at the other, his eyelids twitching wildly.

This was the place where he was caught by the people from the Youlan Tavern after he successfully assassinated François last time.

At that time, the person who stopped him was the real owner of the Youlan Tavern, a monster known as the "Angel of Slaughter".

And the little girl I met here today was definitely not a coincidence!

The raven instinctively sensed the danger and was about to run back when a flare suddenly rose in the sky and a little fox half-orc girl with long brown hair blocked his way behind him.

"You are the bad guy who wants to kill Brother Leeteuk, right?"

The little girl said this, looking at the raven indignantly.

For some reason, Raven felt an even more terrifying aura from the little girl.

Now the flares illuminated the sky and nearby areas, the shadows had disappeared, and the ability that he was so proud of could no longer be used.

Raven looked at the scene in front of him and at this moment he just wanted to cut the person who betrayed the information into pieces.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, the raven has no choice but to fight.

Compared to the half-orc girl behind him, he chose to rush towards the blond blood clan in front.

"Huh? You actually chose me?"

When Franka saw the raven rushing towards her, she pretended to be surprised and then laughed.

"Hehe... Then I'll play with you, big brother~"

As she said this, her body instantly disappeared, and Raven's attack missed.

"Here~"

Raven heard Franka's voice from behind him, and he rushed forward, trying to avoid the attack, but was still scratched on the back by the sharp claws.

"You can't even dodge such a simple move? As expected, people who have lived in the shadows for too long just can't get used to the daylight."

Franka didn't know whether she was mocking the raven or alluding to herself. She stretched out of boredom, looked at the raven in front of her that was scratched by her, and sighed.

"Assassins are all about winning with one strike. Once they fight for a long time with people who are far below their level, even their fighting mentality will be changed by them. Am I right, Mr. Raven?"

Raven also turned his head at this time, looked at Franka in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Oh, I didn't expect that the famous 'Angel of Death' would actually be such a little kid."

"Whatever you say~ It's not impossible for you to see my first appearance, but I'm in a good mood today and I'm willing to show my true face."

Franka said this and disappeared again.

At this time, Lena also rushed to the front of Raven. Compared with Franka's agility, Lena's moves were much more direct.

She punched Raven directly in the body.

This punch seemed simple, but Raven secretly felt that he must not take it, otherwise there would be big problems.

It was at this time that Franka's voice came again from behind.

"I'm sorry, big brother, sometimes people have to make choices~"

Franka's move blocked Raven's retreat, leaving Raven at a loss as to what to do for a moment.

Whether it's the iron fist in front of you or the sharp claws behind you, you can only choose to dodge one.

It is true that the iron fist in front of him is dangerous, but Franka behind him also used a killing move. Raven had no choice but to take Lena's move.

Then, Lena punched Raven's fist hard. The first thing Raven felt was the pain as if his hand bones were almost broken. Then his whole body flew backwards like a cannonball and hit the wall.

This move was one that even Orson didn't dare to take. Raven himself was not known for his strength, and he had almost used up all his strength to take this move.

At this time, Franka also came to Raven.

"Ah~ This won't do~ You are such a small fry, big brother~"

As she said this, she reached out and lifted the raven's chin.

"Let me see, which hand did you use to throw the dagger that was intended to kill Leeteuk? I can't help it. After all, it was my employer's order, and I have to carry it out."

At this time, Lena also followed behind Franka.

"Um... Sister Franca, is it enough to teach him a lesson?"

"Lena, don't be so naive. He wanted to harm your benefactor's relatives. Do you think Orson will be happy if you let him go?"

"Well...how about that, let's give him a quick death..." Lena suggested.

"Well, that's a good idea." Franka nodded, then looked at Raven.

"Did you hear that, Mr. Raven? She is begging for mercy for you."

Raven glanced at Lena, then at Franka, and smiled disdainfully.

"I should have died a long time ago. It's up to you."

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so tough."

Franka said, patting Raven's face.

"However, your life is still of some use, so you can't die now."

Then, she hit the back of Raven's head with a knife, and Raven fainted immediately.

"I'll take the person away first, little sister." Franka said this and carried the raven that was much bigger than her.

"When you go back, remember to tell Lit not to worry about Raven and let her sleep well."

……

Orson received a letter from Franka in the Student Union office. After looking at the contents of the letter, he nodded with satisfaction.

As a good brother, he just wants his sister to have a good sleep. What's wrong with that?

"Arthas, it's time to reveal your trump card."

Orson looked in the direction of the palace and spoke meaningfully.

……

Three days later, as Arthas did not respond, the coalition forces outside the city began to enter the city, preparing to launch a final attack on Arthas together with the mercenaries.

Arthas also used these three days to organize and train the soldiers he forcibly recruited. This group of citizens was barely trained into recruits who could wield weapons and form formations.

Three days had passed since Robin was drafted into the army. During these three days, he met many people who, like him, were drafted in as the only breadwinners of their families.

If they died on the battlefield, it would be a huge blow to their families.

Think about it, if the head of the family falls down, it would be no different from the sky falling down.

Because Robin was a carpenter, he did a lot of physical work and performed very well in training. He became a middle-level officer and was in charge of 500 soldiers.

During the break in training, Robin brought in a few like-minded people, who were also mid-level sergeants, and together they had more than three thousand soldiers under their command.

"Today should be the last training. I heard from the commander that the Duke outside has sent troops in. We have to be the first batch of troops to engage in battle with them."

Robin had already become the leader of a small group among this group of officers, and he was the first to tell the intelligence he had obtained.

After hearing Robin's words, everyone else showed signs of timidity or fear.

"How can we fight against them? They are regular soldiers after all. They are paid and receive more training than us. I think with our army, we'd be lucky if we could achieve a three-to-one casualty ratio."

An officer started to speak discouragingly.

"Actually, I'm more worried that the people under my command will lose control and mutiny." Another officer also expressed his concerns.

"Think about it, we were all forced to come here. We didn't want to fight in the first place. Being an officer might be safer. But are those frontline soldiers willing to die?"

"I do know that there is a group of prisoners who were released from prison. They should be on the front line. It is said that if the battle is won, they will be pardoned."

"Alas... to put it bluntly, they are just cannon fodder..."

Listening to the officers' conversations, Robin suddenly spoke up:

"Well... everyone, I have an idea here. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it."

"Of course I will listen. As long as we can save our lives, we can do anything."

"That's right, I still have three people to support at home."

Seeing Robin speak, the other officers expressed their willingness to listen.

After all, given their current situation, there's really nothing to be said for them as they are desperate and will try any possible means.
