Chapter 588 The First Battle
Chaos arose in the darkness. It had been peaceful for many days, and since they were still within the empire, no one expected that they would be attacked.

The convoy was huge and heavily armed, and ordinary bandits and robbers did not even dare to get close. Eden was very confused as to who had the courage to attack this married convoy.

In the thick night, the soldiers of the Royal Guard hurriedly picked up their weapons and put on their armor. After hearing several ancient words in succession, several light balls jumped out in the air, illuminating the entire camp and a large circle outside. meadow.

This is an ancient saying related to illumination, released by accompanying priests.

Eden slowly pulled out the dagger from his waist and stood vigilantly at the edge of the tent. For the sake of safety, it was best to leave all situations to the royal guards and night watchmen.

Under the lights in the tent, two long shadows were drawn on the ground.

"Don't go out!"

Seeing that Althea was eager to try, Eden warned.

"Hey, isn't it an attack? This is the best opportunity."

Althea held the crossbow and said.

The crossbow in the princess's hand was made by dwarf craftsmen. It is mechanically precise and tightly integrated. It is half a circle smaller than the average crossbow. If you have enough strength, you can even hold it with one hand.

"What are you talking about? If something happens to you, everything will be over!"

Eden warned again.

"It's better if it's over. I didn't want to marry Osenko in the first place.

I think it would be best to suffer some non-fatal injuries, such as a broken arm and leg, and a blind eye, so that I can go back to Deschanel. "

Seeing Althea's indifferent expression, Eden had a severe headache.

"Get out of the way, let me out."

Althea raised the crossbow and said.

"Impossible, please calm down!"

Eden raised his voice.

While stopping Althea, he paid attention to the movements in the outside world.

There were commotions in the camp, but there were not many sounds of fighting. It seemed that the number of enemies was not large, and this matter would be resolved soon.

"Let's solve it soon."

Eden muttered.

At this time, a gust of breeze passed through the tents in the camp as if nothing had happened, and the curtain behind Eden was lifted open by the wind.

Althea raised the crossbow in her hand.

Eden was stunned, subconsciously thinking that Althea was crazy and wanted to shoot him.

Swish!
The sound of the crossbow bolt piercing the air sounded instantly, like a sharp silver light passing by, grazing Iden's ears and flying away in the wind.

"Behind!"

Althea yelled.

Eden reacted. He turned around and saw a group of black figures approaching silently and coming to his back, holding a purple-black dagger in his hand.

Althea's crossbow accurately pierced the black figure's left arm, and dark purple blood flowed from it.

Eden looked up and found that the assassin's skin color was dark purple, with long pointed ears, agile movements and a strong posture.

Drow? !
Eden was shocked. He raised his hand, recited the ancient sayings quickly, and entered a spiritual state.

The soul leaves the body in an instant. Under the soul's field of vision, the body will not be seen, but only the nearby souls will be perceived.

In just a short moment, with his soul vision, Eden noticed that there was not just one assassin, but two, and the other one was coming from not far away!

The drow also recited the ancient words quickly, and his figure turned into a black mist, flying towards Iden's body at an extremely fast speed.

"Tomb slave Li."

The old saying goes "possession".

In desperation, Eden stretched out his hands, and his soul glowed with light, like a hymn being sung.

As the radiance of the soul touched the black mist, visible to the naked eye, the speed of the black mist flew by slowed down, and then slowly stopped.

The drow looked ferocious and seemed to be struggling. He was fighting with Iden for control of his body.

Unfortunately, the path of divine creation he chose: Shadow Assassin, is extremely weaker than the Choir at the soul level.

Eden raised his hand and felt a stinging pain coming from his left arm.

It worked!
In an instant, the drow's spirit was shattered, and control of the body with its injured left arm fell into Iden's hands.

Eden felt excited about successfully using his new ability for the first time.

There was another assassin. It was not the time to get excited yet. Eden regained his composure. He controlled the body, raised his head, and looked outside the tent.

Holding the dagger, he recalled the ancient sayings about shadow assassins, and tried to recite in a low voice:
“Poso?
No, is it Saraso?Nor..."

Eden chanted several words in succession without any response.The possession of the choir seems to be unstoppably powerful and easy to use, but the possession is not only limited in time. When the object of possession is a miracle worker, if you don't know the other person's ancient path of divine creation, If you speak, you will not be able to use the corresponding ability.

Gradually, he faintly heard footsteps.

"Damn...yes, it's O..."

Not waiting for Eden to recite it.

A crossbow was fired, and along with the sound of breaking through the air, Eden suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Eden turned his head suddenly and looked at Althea in disbelief.

I saw Althea shouting anxiously in the other direction:

"Eden! Why don't you move!"

As soon as the voice fell, Eden understood it immediately, and he was a little bit dumbfounded.

She didn't know that she was possessed successfully!
The arrow hit the heart, which was a fatal injury even for an elf. Feeling that his body was gradually losing strength, Iden immediately ended the possession, and then the drow elf's body fell aside.

Althea didn't know that she had made an own mistake and accidentally injured her teammates. She kicked the drow's body away and ran towards Iden's body.

Iden was not in a hurry to return to his body. He walked out of the tent in his soul state and saw another assassin, a human.

As if he noticed something, the assassin immediately pressed his eyebrows, and a wave of soul rippled around himself.

In his soul state, Eden could clearly see that there were circles of invisible ripples swaying around him, rushing towards him.

Under the night, which was so cold that one would be frozen by the wind, I saw the assassin reciting an ancient saying:

"Rosa Malu."

Eden suddenly felt an indescribable force acting on his soul and body at the same time. He opened his mouth and wanted to recite ancient words, but no words came out.

The old saying "silence".

Realizing this, Eden turned around quickly and returned to his body.

Returning to his body, the priest shook off the anxious Althea, grabbed his dagger, and rushed outside without any explanation.

In the dim light, Eden and the assassin collided. The two faced each other. The priest gritted his teeth and stabbed the assassin with his sword in the darkness.

The assassin twisted around in time and narrowly dodged the sword. Just as he was about to counterattack, another sound of piercing the air rang out.

The crossbow shone coldly in the moonlight, and Althea rushed out of the tent at some point. The crossbow bolt hit the assassin's thigh, causing the latter to let out a miserable cry.

This assassin was not a drow, but a human, so after being hit by a crossbow arrow, he knelt on the ground.

Althea's arrow not only helped Iden, but also severely injured the assassin.

"Forgive your life! Forgive your life!"

The assassin shouted hurriedly.

After Eden heard this, he hesitated for a moment and subconsciously put the dagger back into its scabbard.

He is not a battle-hardened soldier, nor is he a ranger who has traveled far and wide. He is just a priest who can't help but put away his sword when he hears others begging for mercy.

Just as Iden was putting away his dagger, another crossbow arrow came through the air.

Swish!
The sound of blood bursting out and bones breaking sounded almost simultaneously.

A crossbow arrow penetrated the assassin's head, leaving a hideous hole, and blood splashed onto Iden's cheek.

Eden was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Althea's voice sounded in my ears,
"I killed someone, I really killed someone! And two of them!"

Althea held the crossbow and screamed happily. She ran over and stared at the corpse up and down as if appreciating her own masterpiece.

"I'm always on target. The crossbow I've been practicing for so long finally comes in handy today."

Althea said as if cheering.

"You... what did you do..."

Eden's voice trembled slightly.

Althea raised her face and said in confusion:
"Killing, what's wrong?"

Eden didn't know what to say for a moment, but after a while he said:

"Did you...hear him begging for mercy?"

"I heard it, so what?"

Althea kicked the corpse at her feet,

"They are assassins, I am killing in self-defense!"

Eden was silent. Althea was right, and he couldn't blame her harshly.

After a long time, seeing that the camp gradually calmed down, Eden heard the soldiers approaching, so he put away his dagger completely.
