Heart of the Castle

Chapter 741 The Secret Battle Under the Night
Seeing the evil sword blade piercing his chest, Mr. Dish had a strange expression on his face. His lips opened and closed twice silently, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into an inaudible gasp. , the body then fell forward silently.It wasn't until the old magician fell heavily to the ground that the protective magic attached to the dark red robe was suddenly activated. A crimson flame mixed with traces of bluish-white electric light suddenly erupted, and an invisible energy frenzy swept across the surrounding area within a few meters. area.

These berserk energies are quite powerful, forming a barrier around Mr. Dish that can tear through the protection of Tianhua's peak fighting spirit.However, it was too late, the black dagger that pierced the old magician's chest was quickly withdrawn, and the owner of the dagger jumped back like a ghost, just in time to avoid the attack of the energy frenzy.

"Frederick!" Levi blurted out in exclamation. The young griffin lord seemed to want to rush over desperately to check on Mr. Dish's injury, but was grabbed by the shoulder by the black armored knight standing beside him. It was so big that it seemed that even the shoulder blades were moaning in pain.

"Master Levi, it's dangerous, it's that assassin!" Sir Rodriguez said in a deep voice, his eyes were shining with dark green flames, and the star iron giant sword made a piercing rubbing sound, slowly coming out of the crude scabbard. pull out. "Let me be your opponent, assassin, if you still have a little bit of honor in your heart."

"Put away your stupid knightly remarks, the glory of an assassin lies in the clean and swift assassination in the shadows, not the swords and swords facing each other like two mindless bulls." The assassin's voice was as smooth as fine silk , but the tone seemed to be soaked in sinister venom. "I will let you understand one thing. Courage is useless in front of a dagger-wounded Faceless Man. Sharp swords and solid armor are no different from toys."

The Scourge Knight spat, and approached step by step with his stellar iron greatsword, and the Faceless Man quickly moved a few steps to the side, keeping a safe enough distance from Sir Rodriguez.The black dagger that pierced Mr. Dish's chest swayed gently in his hand, as if a poisonous snake that wanted to eat someone was spitting out black snake letters.It was a magical weapon with a strange material and powerful power. The smooth lines on both sides converged into an evil tip. The blade was like a razor that had just been sharpened. Pain.

"I won't kill you so easily, Levi Stone, that's too kind, and I can't repay the humiliation you have given to the Faceless Man who was wounded by the dagger!" The Faceless Man described the bloody scene in the softest voice. In the picture, every word that comes out of the mouth seems to be lingering with a sinister taste, "You will watch the people around you die one by one, but you can't do anything about it. .”

"You won't succeed, Faceless." Li Wei announced word by word, "I will do everything in my power to stop your crazy killing."

"Then try it, Levi Stone. The night will be soaked in blood, and the crying will never stop." There was a sullen low smile from under the black mask of the Faceless Man, "The faceless man with the dagger wound The face-to-face will tell you what the real horror is, look forward to the moment when the sharp blade cuts your throat, death will be your only chance to be redeemed."

The Iron Sword of the Stars came roaring and sweeping, interrupting the gloomy whispers of the Faceless Man. The dark-colored catastrophe vindictiveness was attached to the blade, like a pitch-black sky suddenly straddling the tent.The Faceless Man giggled and leapt backwards, but Sir Rodriguez was flying like lightning, even faster than the Faceless Man was retreating.Jian Guang caught up with the retreating figure with lightning speed, and then staggered past. The Faceless Man's body paused for a moment, and collapsed as if he had lost all the support of his bones.

"Sir Rodriguez, have you successfully killed that assassin?" Levi's surprised voice sounded, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"No, Master Levi, let him escape again." Sir Rodriguez poked the black cloak that was torn into pieces by the sword light with the tip of the star iron giant sword, with a sense of unwillingness in his tone. "Pay attention to the time... That guy didn't leave, he was still in the tent."

The probing technique has no effect on the faceless man. Li Wei confirmed this with his own eyes on the way back to the camp, so he just pulled out the sword at his waist, which represents the victory of Arthur's kingship and the blade of the sword of the oath Reflecting the light of the brazier, the blade seemed to be covered with blood, and even the silver-white vindictive light couldn't cover it.

Except for the condemned knight standing with a horizontal sword not far away, there was no sign of other people's activities in the tent, and both eyes and ears told Li Wei so.However, the griffin lord really felt some evil and haze swimming around him, like the silent murmur of death, bringing a pervasive chill.

The brazier suddenly made a strange cracking sound, and the raging flames inside shot up to a height of almost two meters, and the color seemed to have changed subtly.The shadow under Li Wei's feet trembled and swayed under the light of the fire, and his twisted arms raised a sharp black dagger...

"Master Levi, get out of the way!" There was a rare panic in Sir Rodriguez's voice, and the Scourge Knight passed the tent like a black wind, so fast that even the air made a loud bang. , following his movements, the star iron giant sword swung an arc that flew down like a black waterfall.

The figure of the Faceless Man once again escaped from the fierce slash of the Scourge Knight, leaving only a few strands of light blue hair cut off by the sword light floating in the air.Sir Rodriguez quickly blocked Li Wei behind him, and a bitingly cold and strange aura emanated from his body. In the blink of an eye, the ground under his feet was covered with gray-white frost.

The figure of the Faceless Man appeared in the other corner of the tent, casually threw the broken black cloth hood on the ground, and at the same time let out an annoyed sigh of regret.If it wasn't for Li Wei's sudden twist after hearing the warning, his dagger could have tasted the flesh and blood of the young regent instead of just leaving a shallow scratch on the leather vest.That almost represents inevitable death. In addition to being extremely sharp, the black dagger of the Faceless Man is also quenched with a poison that can coagulate blood. Even some high-level medical magic can relieve the poison on the dagger. , the rapid attack speed also makes it completely useless.

Li Wei looked at the scratch on his shoulder. The leather vest he was wearing was imbued with the magic of strengthening materials, and its defense was not much inferior to that of ordinary steel plate armor. However, in front of the black dagger, But it was easily torn apart like parchment. "Faceless, it seems that you don't have the confidence to let me taste the horror that you just declared." The young Griffin Lord raised his head sharply, and there was no fear in his eyes that he had just brushed shoulders with death The taste, on the contrary, shone with a blazing light like a burning flame.

"Words are also a kind of weapon. When the dagger-wounded Faceless Man is performing an assassination mission, he will never refuse to use any useful weapon." There was a dark excitement in the Faceless Man's voice. He raised the dagger in his hand again, deftly tossed a trick in the air, then shrank his body back, and disappeared into the air without warning under the gazes of Levi and Sir Rodriguez. middle.

However, this time, the faceless man's stealth met his nemesis. Just when he approached Li Wei from the side and rear, a bone-chilling feeling came from under his feet, and his teeth even couldn't help but tap each other. There was a soft clicking sound.

This sound was not nearly as loud as the crackling sound from the brazier, but it was enough for Sir Rodriguez.The Scourge Knight stomped forward with his right foot, swung the star iron giant sword, and catastrophic fighting energy gushed out like a volcanic eruption, and the attack range formed a fan shape with a range of five meters.

With a muffled sound, the Faceless Man's movements were deformed slowly due to the extreme cold, and he was unable to completely avoid the place where the catastrophic fighting spirit was affected. Fortunately, he himself is also a legendary strongman with original power, although the original power with unique attributes is not effective in protection. Although it wasn't outstanding, at least it wasn't any worse than Tianhua's fighting spirit.As soon as the two came into contact, they erupted violently. The stone brazier was overturned by the aftermath of the explosion, and the burning oak pieces fell on the carpet, immediately igniting and burning, and thick smoke billowed up.

The Faceless Man rolled over and got up outside the thick smoke, stamped his feet vigorously, and the gray-white frost fell from his legs. "Is it an original field with colder attributes? It is indeed a good way to restrain stealth ability, but how long can you guard here?"

Although his tone was still cold, his appearance was much more embarrassing than when he first appeared.Especially when the aura of catastrophe came, the faceless man was forced to raise his left hand to cover his face, and was eroded by the original power of darkness. , seems to have lost the ability to open and close at will.

"Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise, Levi Stone. I hope you will stay in the safe tent and listen to the death lament for the end of life that the dagger-wounded Faceless Man presents to you!"

The faceless man disappeared again, and both Levi and Sir Rodriguez were on guard, for fear that this guy would use lies as a weapon again.But the Faceless Man seemed to be telling the truth this time. There was no wind in the tent, but the heavy animal skin curtain fluttered suddenly. It looked as if an invisible person had just slipped out of the tent.

Levi and Sir Rodriguez's gazes were all fixed on the entrance of the tent, their bodies remained motionless, and silence shrouded the tent again.Until there was a shout of shock and anger from outside.

"Balud above! Watch out for the enemy attack in the dark... Well, damn it!"

Li Wei raised his eyebrows suddenly, because the voice sounded familiar, "This voice seems to be... Gavin? Silent Gavin?"

The urgent cry for help from outside proved that the young regent's memory was correct, "Lord Gavin is injured, please find the priest quickly, the wound is poisonous! Hurry up, hurry up!"

"There's more than one enemy! Watch out for the dark corners, they can lurk in the shadows!" came the shout that sounded like the Knight of Grunwalm, followed by Dragonson's savage growl, "Those damned fleas are jumping everywhere Jump, there will be stinging thorns!"

The cat's cry was like the meow of a domestic cat magnified hundreds of times. The shadow assassin should also start a desperate battle in the dark with the invading enemy. Li Wei cast a probing technique outside the tent, but was almost caught Countless red and green light spots dazzled the eyes.The speed of all the red light spots and a small part of the green light spots is frighteningly fast, but the champion knight with the largest number and quite strong strength can't find the target to attack, and can only protect himself by relying on the power of fighting spirit as a whole.

The Faceless Men who were injured by the dagger turned out to be a large-scale dark elf assassin team, which made Li Wei feel a little unexpected.Fortunately, there are no other legendary assassins among them, and the perceptive big bobcat and the shadow assassin who can sneak into the shadows are both masters of night combat.Although the attack caused the northern camp to be shrouded in noise and panic, it was not at a complete disadvantage, and with the huge advantage in numbers, the balance of victory and defeat was gradually moving in favor of the northern side. tilt.

However, if a legendary assassin with no scruples is allowed to join the battle, I am afraid that the outcome will be hard to say, and even if they can win in the end, the northern side will inevitably lose several important members under the assassination of the poisonous dagger.

Li Wei thought of this, with a firm expression on his face, "Sir Rodriguez, I am afraid that Rist alone will not be able to protect everyone from that guy's assassination." The young regent ordered, "Go and help I don't want to see the Griffin Knights suffer heavy losses from the dagger stabbed in the dark."

The dark green flames in Sir Rodriguez's eyes flickered, "Master Levi, be careful... Pay attention to the time." There was subtle worry in the voice of the Scourge Knight, but there was no hesitation in his actions , picked up the giant iron star sword, and walked out of the tent.

After Sir Rodriguez walked out of the tent, Levi could only see his figure through the field of vision of the probing technique. It was like a blazing light cluster like the sun, burning dark green non-stop. flame.As long as those red dots representing hostility come into contact with the green sun, they will immediately explode, shatter or bounce, and when they fall, they will either be completely extinguished, or turn dying into a non-threatening gray-white.

Only a legend can fight a legend, and this sentence is vividly reflected in Sir Rodriguez.

Although the Scourge Knight does not have the ability to see through stealth, he can detect the life breath of any living thing. Unless he has reached the legendary level or is a necromancer himself, no matter how strong the stealth ability of the dark elf assassin is, he will still leak a trace of it. breath of life.

This trace of breath is not enough to determine the real location of the assassin's hiding place, but it is not even troublesome for Sir Rodriguez. They rushed out from the hidden corners, and some unfortunate guys even ran directly into the blades. The fine gold chain mail and underground lizard leather armor with added dark magic protection seemed to be made of parchment. Both bodies were easily torn apart by Jian Guang.

Even without the legendary assassin at the head, the faceless man who was wounded by the dagger is definitely not weak.Facing Sir Rodriguez's offensive that seemed capable of smashing everything, they also launched a tenacious counterattack.The exquisite hand crossbow shot out a series of pitch-black poisoned arrows. Although most of them were bounced off by the heavy black armor of the Scourge Knight, quite a few poisonous arrows found the gaps in the armor's joints and slammed into them.

The poison prepared by the dark elf assassin was extremely effective. Just one poisonous arrow could make an adult bull fall unconscious in a few seconds, and then died convulsively. Still striding forward with unshakable and firm steps, the star iron giant sword swung around him with dark arcs of harvesting the life of the dark elves.

Although the probing technique cannot allow Li Wei to witness the battle, it can reveal the battle situation more clearly.The red light spots that were originally scattered throughout the camp are rapidly decreasing. Except for some assassins who were already close to the periphery and escaped in time, the other faceless men who were injured by daggers were either dead or injured. Forced by the jazz to retreat step by step, and surrounded by champion knights, sharpshooters and crusader swordsmen, they basically had no power to fight back.

The voice from the ear also confirmed the same result.At the very beginning, the camp was filled with various sounds—cries, cries for help, screams, the friction of steel colliding, the hiss of hand crossbows firing, and the whistling of long swords and giant axes tearing the air. Now these voices are gradually diminishing, and finally subsided, and finally only Dragonson's loud voice remains.

"Surrender quickly, you fleas in the dark have nowhere to jump, if you don't surrender, you will die!"

Li Wei really wanted to know what kind of answers those remaining dark elf assassins would give, but he probably didn't have time to think about it, because right next to his ears, the soft and vicious voice of the Faceless Man was ringing, the tone of voice Full of pleasant taste.

"Is it the knight's stupidity, or the stupid knight?" The black dagger was pointed at the back of Li Wei's neck, and the poisonous aura emanating from it seemed to have made the young regent feel that the skin there was numb. "Leviston, go to another world and regret your weak kindness!"
