224. Chapter 224 Bureau

Ten knights came in a mighty manner, ready to execute the orders of some people with the momentum of leveling everything, but in a flash they were crushed by a whole cavalry regiment that suddenly appeared. Three such incidents have happened in just two days.

For Assassin Sean, what happened in front of him made him feel a chill for no reason.

This guy wearing leather armor and hiding in the woods outside the manor was the assassin sent by Count Durant. In terms of strength, Sean, who advanced to level 5, can be regarded as absolutely powerful, so when he comes here, he is confident that he will not be discovered by anyone and is confident that he will complete all the orders issued by the Lord.

Sean has always been trained by Earl Durant as a "trump card". Although nobles usually do not like to use "assassination" to remove political enemies, if they really touch the bottom line or have sufficient reasons, this method of physical elimination is definitely the most direct and effective way.

Therefore, Sean, who has good talent, became Durant's proud trump card - Durant's stability over the years has been half of Sean's contribution.

But after witnessing the knights being surrounded and killed with their own eyes, Sean instinctively felt uneasy.

"Treasonists must be dealt with."

"Treason..."

Sean, hiding in the bushes, looked at the team that was re-closing in the distance, murmured the words in his mouth - he knew more than anyone that his purpose of coming here was to help Count Durant erase the evidence of "traitor"!

"It seems... it's too late now."

Looking back on Viscount Tlanca who was easily assassinated by himself not long ago, Shaun always felt something was wrong in his heart... Tlanca was so easy to kill. The guards were extremely relaxed and even had no sense of changing the guards. The unsuspecting Tlanca was like a pig and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and there was no technical content when assassinated.

Sean clearly remembered that when he came to the other party, the guy opened his eyes wide and seemed to want to say something, but Sean was never interested in listening to the target's nonsense, so when his dagger slashed the other party's throat, the viscount had only time to say a name and completely swallowed.

"What did he say? 'Lodi' or 'Rody'?"

Sean didn't care much and solved the possible leak of the viscount. He came to this manor according to the address assigned by the Count, but before he could do it, the scene before him made him understand... he was one step later!

These cunning guys actually knew that there were traitors in the kingdom, so they specially used this manor as "bait", just waiting for the nobles who were anxious to destroy the evidence to send people over, and then caught turtles in the jar and destroyed them one by one...

"Waiting for the Rabbit" sounds unrealistic at first, but with the public opinion atmosphere created by Angma and this team that is unknown but hidden very deeply, the originally seemingly childish plan really has feasibility!

Teams rushed over like moths to the flames and died. If this continues, the traitors hiding behind the scenes will definitely be unable to hold back and are ready to lead the team to come here in person. At that time...

When Sean thought of this, he felt a little cold sweat appearing on his forehead - he must go back and immediately inform the Lord of the Lord before the other party discovered him!

With such thoughts in his mind, Sean held his breath slightly, turned around and prepared to leave. Akasha in the distance was raising his hand to release the healing magic. The arrested knights were already escorted to the back of the manor. The sound of horse hooves of the cavalry gradually dissipated. Soon, only a few figures left in front of the manor were erasing the blood marks on the ground.

"It's not too strong, it should be able to deal with it...but these guys seem to be well disciplined."

Sean continued to retreat, briefly evaluating the combat power of the scouts in his heart, but just when he thought he was absolutely safe, the necklace on his chest suddenly emitted a faint magic fluctuation-

“Duh!”

Almost instinctively, Sean dodged an arrow flying against his cheek by a slight difference.

This necklace is inherited from the ancestral chain and has a warning effect on danger. It is precisely because of its help that Sean left the title of "Insighted One" in his career of licking blood from the blade... and allowed him to escape countless instinctive deaths.

However, this necklace cannot be reminded every time, so after dodging the first arrow, Sean could only start to speed up the dodge with his ability - but because of a slightly slower movement, a wound was wiped from his shoulder by the second arrow that followed. If it weren't for the timely "sprint" and there was a tree in front of him for him to dodge, he might have been shot by the third arrow!

The effect of "sprinting" is to increase the movement speed by 70% for 10 seconds. The skill effect is better than the ranger's "sprinting" but even so, Sean, who was leaning against the tree trunk, still looked at his left shoulder in cold sweat...

How could it be...it has such a fast rate of fire?

He was shocked, but then his figure slowly disappeared into the woodland. The "slide" started. After calming his breath slightly, Sean's confidence gradually recovered. He immediately confirmed the direction of the arrow shooting, pulled out two daggers, and slowly moved over. Speaking of the ability of "slide", he was confident that no one could see through it in such an environment.

Archer? As long as he gets approached, Sean is as confident as to use his explosive power to kill the opponent in a short period of time!

Sean has absolute confidence in the ability to assassinate... At least in the past eight years, he has never failed, even if it is a head-on encounter, he has never lost!

With this idea in his mind, Sean held the dagger tightly and walked dozens of steps against the shadow, but stopped in confusion - because he found that he could not find the target at all.

This brief hesitation made his movements pause slightly. It was at this moment of distracting, a phantom suddenly swayed between the trunks beside Sean!

Instinctively swung the dagger, Sean made an attack without even turning his head, but then he felt his waist being heavily weighted, his whole body lost its center of gravity, and he involuntarily stepped out to the side...

When I looked back, I could only see a face that was exactly the same as the bark pattern in my vision, staring at me. The effect of the "Statting Technique" was disappearing, but the indifference in my eyes made Sean feel cold, and the bow and arrow in the other party's hand had already been raised in just half a second!

He held his body steady and raised his dagger to block it - a trace of luck rose in his heart for no reason...

The opponent is still too tender. Using a short bow at such a distance will make you 90% sure to capture the offensive trajectory and counterattack within one second!

With such confidence, he adjusted his center of gravity, but before he could use any skills, the opponent's arrow had already shot out.

Sean showed a grim smile on his lips, but the next moment, he watched the arrows pierce through his thighs...

The raised dagger is still two centimeters away from the arrow.

Then he blocked the second and third arrows, but he was one step slower no matter what!

"This cannot be—"
