Chapter 743: Assassination (Part 1)

Early in the morning, it was slightly cold and dense.
In the lingering white fog, a group of cavalry came out from the side gate to the east of Yongye City in a neat line, the first two being the Dark Night Guard.
The two guards are wearing exquisite black leather scale armor. The two scimitars crossed in the tattoo on the front of the scale armor are also different. Their weapons are also different. The left one holds a spear, and the right one holds a machete.
Behind these two men is a team of thirty-man crossbow cavalry. Each cavalry has a stainless steel crossbow and has been wound up. If there is an accident, twenty men will react in an instant and move towards The target poured arrows.
The crossbow attack is extremely fast and powerful. It can penetrate heavy armor within 30 steps. With the advantage of quantity, even a master like Wu Sheng can't get close and will definitely be shot on the spot.
After the crossbow cavalry is Sandru.
Sandro is good at strategy, but his martial arts talents are average. Although he is very strong thanks to the nourishment of the night queen's divine body, his martial arts training is not good. Now, his combat power is only at the level of the general overlord. 'S master is just comparable, and can't compare with the true at all.
He also knows his shortcomings, since he is not good at martial arts, he should focus on defense.
Therefore, Sandro was wearing a full set of iron armor, from head to toe, wrapped tightly, leaving almost no gap. This armor is made from the forging experience of many gods and craftsmen in the Night Kingdom, plus a lot of cherished materials. It is extremely strong. Even if the overlord is pierced with a lance, it can be defensive. At most, it is slightly deformed. That's it.
His horse is also not simple. This horse is the king of the galloping horses unique to the north. The quality is excellent. After the smelting of the blood of the Queen of the Night, it is a godless horse, running like wind and electricity. , Because the horse's hair is red as blood, so it is called'blood shadow'.
Blood shadow horse, iron battle armor. Eight night guards, as well as a large number of crossbow cavalry, such a lineup, even if the night queen comes, they can't force it. It can only be a roundabout kill.
It is precisely because of such a strong defense that although Sandru has been attacked by assassins from time to time, he has always been safe.
However, I don't know why, Sandro was out of town today. I couldn't help shivering, feeling a little cold.
He turned his head and looked around. The thick mist was lingering, and the figure of the guard was indistinctly. Farther away, there was a vast expanse of whiteness. A cold wind just came over, and the white mist flowed slowly, showing wispy traces. Sandro felt a clearer coolness.
‘The ease of life is really devastating. I only stayed in the palace for less than three days, and when the cold wind blows, I actually feel cold! Sandro sighed.
He who has seen big scenes will become lazy in a short period of time, not to mention those soldiers, Sandro feels that it is necessary to increase the frequency of patrolling the barracks in the future.
The cavalry continued to walk outside the city. The barracks were three miles outside the city. They walked past at this speed and could arrive in less than ten minutes.
Although it is very early now, there are already many early pedestrians on the road outside the city. Most of these people are farmers outside the city going to Yongye City to sell vegetables. There were also travelers who were sleeping outside the city because they closed the city gate yesterday and didn't have time to enter the city. There were also some messy guys, such as rangers.
These people are not armed and pose no threat to the cavalry. As long as they keep a certain distance from the cavalry, the soldiers will not be nosy. If they commit a crime, the soldiers on patrol in the city will naturally skin them.
Just walking all the way, about halfway through, Sandro saw a ranger trotting over on a horse. Because of the obscuration of the fog, only a vague black shadow could be seen at first. When the ranger got closer, Sandro saw more details.
The weapon used by this ranger is a gun. The horse under his hip looks tall and big, but his coat is messy and dirty, and his hooves are covered with mud. The ranger is wearing an ordinary wolfskin jacket with the spear tucked behind his back , The tip of the gun is wrapped in a rust-proof leather case.
The ranger also saw the cavalry team. He reacted like everyone else on the road. He was startled for a moment, then pulled the horse, and took the initiative to let the cavalry stand more than 30 meters away from the roadside, waiting patiently for the cavalry team to pass.
A very ordinary ranger still uses a spear, while Luo Lin uses a sword. In this world, if anyone can pose a threat to him at this time, there is only Luo Lin. This person cannot be Luo Lin. He was relieved.
He retracted his gaze and continued to look forward to the road.
The warriors around him just glanced at the roadside ranger at random, and then they all looked back. They have very rich combat experience and are veterans. They didn't feel the slightest hostility from this ranger, so there was not much in their hearts. alert.
"It's got it~" The cavalry's horses hooves sounded regularly, and the team marched towards the barracks unhurriedly, as if everything was normal.
As time passed by, Sandru and his guard proceeded unhurriedly, slowly approaching the ranger standing on the side of the road. The ranger was still standing motionless, with his eyes looking at the ground. The deputy looks humble and respectful.
But as the distance approached, the barrier of fog became weaker and weaker, and Sandro saw more things.
He suddenly felt that this ranger had brought him an indescribable sense of familiarity. He seemed to have seen it everywhere, so he looked carefully. The other party’s hair was scattered, dirty and messy, and it was covered with condensed dew and With a few stems of withered grass, he couldn't see his face clearly, and in the blur, only dust could be seen on it, which looked grey.
This is also normal. For anyone traveling long distances, it is absolutely normal to be covered with dust. In fact, the several rangers around are all of the same virtue.
After careful observation, he was still just an ordinary ranger. Although Sandro's doubts were not completely eliminated, only the last trace remained.
The distance between the two sides continued to approach, and after more than ten seconds, Sandro was only less than forty meters away from the ranger. For Sandreu, who was under the protection of the crossbow formation, this was a safe distance, so although he was puzzled, he did not raise his vigilance.
At this moment, there was an unusually rapid sound of horseshoes in the white fog ahead. The horseshoes were swift and heavy, and the horse was hitting the ground like a war drum. The horse was running towards the front, getting closer. , The sound of the horses' hoofs became more rapid, and in the end they became a piece. When I heard this sound, I knew that this was a very rare and good horse.
After a few seconds, a black shadow of a knight appeared in front of him. Through the fog, he could see that the knight was holding a sword or a knife or other weapon in his hand. He rushed over aggressively, at an incredible speed, not at all. Give people time to think.
"Enemy attack! Defense!" The dark night guard at the forefront shouted immediately.
"Ha~" The cavalry roared together. In an instant, the swords and spears went out, the crossbows turned, and the shield cavalry all surrounded Sandru, and they used heavy shields to forge a circle of steel fortresses, bringing Sander. Lu surrounded the middle to protect.
In the shield formation, Sandro was very safe, but at the same time, the shields and guards also blocked his sight, so that he could not get the information around him in the first time.
"Hey hey hey~" The horse in front was still approaching quickly. In just a short while, it had reached fifty meters away. Although the figure of the knight on the horse's back was still vague, he could clearly see that he had made an attack.
When the opponent's distance reached the best attack range of the steel crossbow, the Dark Night Guard suddenly yelled, "Ready to release arrows!"
"Beng Beng Beng Beng~" The strings of the steel crossbow rang, and thirty crossbow arrows rushed toward the approaching knight with precision like migratory locusts. After a short while, there was a chaotic sound of "pupupupupu". I saw that most of the crossbow arrows hit the target, some of them hit the horse, and some hit the knight on the horse.
According to common sense, with such terrible attacks, and most of them were hit, there should be no master in this world who can be safe, not even the Queen of Night.
But what happened before him completely surpassed the understanding of the cavalry. Instead of stopping, the shadow rushed faster. He didn't even try to block the crossbow arrow, so he rushed forward with his weapon.
"What's the matter?"
"Is it wearing a sturdy armor?"
The cavalry opened their eyes wide. At this time, the opposing knight was about to rush to the front. Although the guard holding the spear at the front was full of doubts, he still urged the horse to greet him.
As a guard, he must block this guy's offensive.
But within a second, the guard arrived in front of the attacking knight, and this time, he finally saw the truth clearly.
The front face of this war horse was covered with thick cowhide. The cowhide was bulging, and there should be a lot of cotton wool inside. The crossbow arrow hit the cowhide and shot it through, but the momentum was over, and it was unable to match the horse belt. Just a little bit of damage, so the horse can always rush forward.
It was the sword knight on horseback that horrified the guard. This is a real person, this is a grass dummy at all, and what he holds in his hand is not a weapon, just a branch.
There are at least a dozen crossbow arrows deeply inserted into this dummy, but for such a scarecrow, what will happen if 10,000 arrows are inserted?
"Not good! The opponent's poisonous scheme!"
In an instant, UU reading www. The guard at uukanshu.com reacted. He swept the dummy on horseback to the ground with a single shot, then looked around, looking for the real assassin. While looking for the real assassin, he shouted: "Beware of the assassin!"
Time is too tight, he yelled a little anxiously and didn't have time to explain more, which was ambiguous.
The cavalry standing behind only saw him sweep the assassin down with a single shot, but this guy clearly defeated his opponent, why did he call attention to the assassin? What does this mean? Hasn't the assassin been killed by him?
Sandro in the cavalry group was also strange. He was about to speak. Suddenly, he felt a fierce murderous intent appearing from the side. Turning his head to see, the ranger he had repeatedly looked at was moving at an unimaginable speed. Charged towards him.
In an instant, he recognized the true identity of his opponent: ‘God of War Luolin! ’
His heart suddenly became cold, and he only felt like falling into an ice cave. (To be continued.)
