Chapter 211 The Charging Knight

Friesen is 36 years old and one of the few gold-level assassins in the Thieves Guild. However, his reputation is unknown even within the guild, let alone the outside world.

This is exactly what the dark professions of thieves and assassins pursue.Fame, something that many people flock to, is a drag on them. When a dark profession's reputation is well known to everyone, it is only one step away from death.Therefore, someone as unknown as Friesen can be considered a successful assassin.

Not long ago, he received this escort mission from the Thieves Guild, joined the excavation team, and finally followed everyone to the dangerous mutant spider.

He also entered the magic pool and did not escape, which was a very unexpected result.Many assassins and thieves will choose to leave quietly when they can stay out of the matter but have to look for trouble. After all, it's not a big deal if they can't make money, and it's not fun to lose their lives in it.

But Friesen didn't. He followed everyone in very professionally. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to slip away. If it were another time, he wouldn't have known where he would slip away. He couldn't slip away.

He had another purpose in accepting this task. It was another task that involved a huge reward. The reward was so high that he would never give up, so he had to follow, otherwise, if the task target died here, , he can't get a single copper coin, which will probably make him regret it for the rest of his life.

So he came in and disappeared as he entered. Even the legendary mutant spider mother didn't notice his presence.

Unlike those thieves who are stupid enough to fight the enemy at close quarters, assassins are noble artists. They kill the target with one strike and float away after the strike, turning the bloody assassination into art. This is the assassin's fighting style. So beheading was of course Friesen's first choice.

Shuer didn't know much about Parvatiga's assassins, but he himself had been an assassin many times in his hometown. He had sneaked into the enemy's hinterland that was heavily defended and guarded by layers of vigilance. He hid in the dark without eating or sleeping today, waiting for the opportunity. When the enemy showed his flaw, he pierced the throat of the enemy leader with a sword. The sword flashed and blood filled the air. Life and death were only a matter of a snap of the finger.

Assassins share many habits in common, even if they are not in the same world.Therefore, Shuer can clearly guess what Friesen is thinking and estimate his approximate location, because if it were Shuer himself, he would make the same choice.

When Shuuer took over the command and gave the order loudly for the first time, Friesen was less than ten meters away from the huge mutant spider mother. He was so close that he could even see clearly the hard bristles and ferocious claws on the spider mother's body. pattern.There was no longer any little spider around him. The little spiders were all attacking their prey, and the mother spider had no defense at all.

It stands to reason that it would be difficult to maintain a sneaking posture and pass through the tide of little spiders to reach behind them in the normal way. However, assassins never fight in the normal way. They have too many tricks to surprise people. For example, a pair of shoes have a sneaker embedded in the center of the sole. Special short boots with a half-meter-long iron nail.

This is a special prop used by assassins to pass through dense ground trap areas. Putting it on by ordinary people is like walking on stilts, and it is a stilt with an extremely sharp bottom. It is impossible to stand on it. Only experienced assassins who have undergone special training can be proficient. Control and move forward and retreat freely.

With a pair of shoes, it only took Friesen a few seconds to reach the back of the spider group.However, spiders are very vigilant predators. Friesen is always looking for opportunities to attack, but every time he finds an opportunity, he cannot guarantee that he will escape unscathed, so he gives up the attack every time.

The right choice and patience are the most important qualities of an assassin.Patience and waiting are the sharpest weapons of assassins. Legend has it that an unknown assassin hid in a small safe and endured it for fifteen days before finally striking his target through the neck. So Friesen was not afraid of waiting. Opportunities will come.

Indeed, the opportunity finally came, the opportunity that Xiure sent him.

Shuer's initial instructions sounded like nonsense to him. After observing the Spider Mother at close range for so long, Friesen had already given up on the plan to kill a legendary monster with one strike. Realistic.Therefore, Shuer's endless instructions were meaningless in Friesen's opinion. However, the two of them coincided with one thing. Friesen's final target was also the spider mother's two right legs. It also made him think highly of Xiure.

Precisely because he had a high opinion of the opponent, when Seul told him about the action plan, Friesen thought for a few more steps and immediately understood Seul's true intention. Is this guy really a priest?Once he takes command of the battle, he is really insidious.

Let Friesen attack and let Dak cooperate?No, no, no, no one who can arrange such tactics can estimate the assassin's location and intentions so accurately. The one who can do this must be someone who understands the assassin, and such a person must know that he wants to It is absolutely impossible for an assassin to initiate a surprise attack at a designated time. The only person who can control the time of the surprise attack is the assassin himself.

Therefore, the new commander's order has only one intention, which is to let Dak cooperate with Friesen's own attack. In fact, it is just the opposite. Dak who suddenly rushes over is the bait to attract the spider mother's attention, and the value is for He creates opportunities.

Friesen is convinced that his guess is absolutely correct. Otherwise, if he really wants to join forces, the female swordsman who can sprint faster than Dak riding the nightmare beast is actually more suitable for this task than Dak. Let Dak Come here simply because his defense is much stronger than that of the female swordsman and he can attract more attention.

After thinking about this, Shuer's last order just arrived, and the decisive battle began.

He leaned down, set up his spear, and poured fighting energy into the gun. Just like he had done it thousands of times before, Dak was ready to charge. Just before he was about to start, Shuer's serious voice came to his ears. : "Don't be obsessed with fighting. You have to return within five seconds at most. Also, remember, defend more and attack less. You can even give up attacking completely when necessary."

"Then why should I go over there?" Dak asked with a smile, "Isn't it safer here?" "You are more useful to the team when you are alive than when you are dead." Shuer said with a cold face, "I'm not interested. After the battle is won, your body will be dug out from the pile of debris and buried. So, this is the captain... This is the captain's order on behalf of the employer."

"Tsk, you greedy gold-hungry beast." Dak didn't even look back. He sneered and gave a thumbs up, "I know, thank you for your concern."

"Hehehehe." Xiure let out a meaningful laugh, waved his fingers behind him in farewell, and watched him rush towards the enemy's huge body.

It only took half a second for the Nightmare Beast to reach its maximum speed from startup to speed. The only one in the world that could do this was the God's pet Nightmare Beast.

The Nightmare Beast leaped high with a long hiss, and the soul fire on its hooves dragged out a long shadow of fire, stepping on the carapace of the little spiders all the way forward, ignoring the gravity, the mount was on the backs of the crowds of spiders and would leave immediately. , before the spiders even had time to feel something strange behind them, Duck had already driven away on his mount.

Charge, the knight is charging.

There are no trumpets, no waving flags, no responding retinues, and no comrades charging side by side.One man, one horse, and one spear, the knight launched a lonely charge against the swarming spider tide, charging decisively towards the hill-like spider mother, just like the ants charging towards the giant elephant. It looked ridiculous, but it was And respectable.

The huge spider mother has been lying motionless in the center of the magic pool, just watching the children's hunting activities coldly.With its size, it takes a lot of physical strength and energy to move once. Although it spends most of its time dormant, it has been consumed for more than 4000 years. The mother spider is not very willing until it is replenished. They act on their own, so they always leave the task of fighting to the children.

The spider mother's plan is very good. She forcibly captures the most difficult prey to restore her strength, and then uses the hundreds of people outside to give the children a good meal. When the children are full, they will use the advantage of numbers to break through and trap it After thousands of years of magic pool, once it is outside, this new population can welcome a new life.

In the primitive consciousness of the spider mother, the children are strong enough to capture the toughest prey, and these creatures have no chance at all.This is also true, at least it seems so. These creatures can only passively defend themselves against the children's all-round attack, and cannot even mount a decent counterattack.So the spider mother is relieved and patiently waits for the success of her children's first hunt after birth.

It never expected that these creatures would dare to fight back, and launch a counterattack against itself, so when Dak rushed towards it, it took a second to realize what happened.

One second is enough to decide many things. For example, it can decide that Dak rushes in front of it smoothly, and it doesn't even have time to block it.

A second flew by, and Dark appeared in front of the Spider Mother. The visor that had been lowered covered his expression, but it could not hide the starlight shining in his eyes.

Spear, thrust.

The blood-red spear tore through the air, with a sharp whistling sound, and stabbed at the spider mother's leg joint as hard as she could while trying to get up.

Shame, a mutated legendary monster was caught off guard by a gold-level knight. This is simply a shame. If the mutated spider mother had advanced wisdom, she would probably think so.

Unfortunately, it didn't. It just waved its forelimbs slightly with a little anger.

The huge body did not reduce the flexibility of the movements at all. The long and thick forelimbs seemed to wave lightly at random, but they struck the gun body first and came last.

With a clang, the spear and the forelimbs met, and Dak felt as if he had hit a hill head-on. The huge force shook his jaw to the point of cracking open. He endured the surge in his chest and stepped back several meters in succession before he managed to do so. It neutralizes the power of the enemy with a single wave of his hand.

The mutant spider mother was also startled. The power of the charge was stronger than expected. The impact made her huge body that was standing up crooked and almost lost its balance. Fortunately, it adjusted its center in time and did not fall to the ground again. .

At this moment, there was a flash of light, and a dagger protruded from the shadow, silently wiping towards the leg supporting the spider mother's center of gravity.
