Chapter 539 Nighthawk
On the battlefield in front of the city, from the beginning full of noise and clamor of fighting, to now, it has fallen into a strange relative silence.
In addition to the sound of the locust swarm flapping its wings in the sky above its head, even the injured people below struggled to restrain their own cry of pain, as if a louder sound would alarm the demons in the sky.
The war seemed to be away from the crowd at this moment.
However, not everyone dared to move, such as five "Nighthawks" who seemed to be worn.
Nighthawk is a unique bird in the United Kingdom of the Midoya city-state. It is like the owl on the earth. It is a night hunting raptor and also contains characteristics similar to birds, including stronger vision, more sensitive nerves, and more sensitive skills!
One of the main habitats of nighthawks is the forest around the city-state of Fanet.
In the city-state near this forest, senior scouts in the army will be named "Nighthawk" to represent their extremely high quality. The number of such elite scouts has always been small, and they are considered famous soldiers in those city-states that are not established.
In this common country in the world, scouts and not simply a simple horse-snooping, but modern special forces are more close to the earth. Basically, traveling far away requires patrols, spying on intelligence, and even assassination are one of the tasks of scouts.
Now the city-states and church forces gathered around the sword saint Tokoni have sent a large number of "nighthawks" to the direction of Cengelle. Their main goal is to find a way to get the crystal that is most likely to exist in the sword saint.
The dark battlefield men followed this cover, five nighthawks from the city-state of Fanet slowly approached Brante.
When the sky was dark, the five people closed their eyes in advance and began to adapt, so they now have to see the surroundings more easily than other panic people.
Moreover, although the crystal light in Brante's hand was weak, it was very conspicuous now.
The sound of "buzzing..." covered up all the tiny and noisy sounds.
A leading nighthawk lowered his voice to remind his companions behind him.
"Note those personal guards, the target is definitely not a small character. Remember, our goal is not to kill people, but to get that crystal!"
"I understand!" "I understand!" "Okay!" "Yes" "Yes"
Then with the cover of the noisy sound above the head, the five people quietly approached within ten meters of Brante and spread to the appropriate angle.
"Do it!"
With a low shout, five Nighthawks, short swords, daggers and other objects were unsheathed, and their bodies suddenly rushed out of their respective directions.
The person responsible for protecting Brante was Geno's most trusted personal guard captain, and at this time he was also trapped in fear of the unknown demon.
However, when the five Nighthawk weapons were unsheathed, the Brante crystal caused the weapons to have a faint reflection.
Unlike the weapons that were already there, these reflections suddenly appeared.
When the captain of the guard realized, he felt something was wrong in his instinct.
"Hiss~~" "Hiss~~~"...
Two or three war horses were quickly scratched by nighthawks, and immediately neighed and bumped into the cavalry above.
"Ding~puff~" "puff~"
"Bang…"
"Hiss~~~"
The short sound of weapons and the sound of flesh entering the flesh are accompanied by the screams of camel and horses
"Ah!!! Someone attacked!!!!!!"
"Protect the young master!!!"
Including the captain of the guards, several pro-guards around them lined up chaotic war horses and moved closer to Brante.
A personal guard had not fully adapted to the darkness, but he vaguely saw a figure moving by his side quickly, pointing directly at Brante.
"stop!!"
He waved his sword and slashed towards the Nighthawks leader.
"When..." As the sound of gold and iron clashed, the sparks rushed, the Nighthawk's dagger did not bear the force head-on. The body changed its angle with the dagger, and then the dagger tilted upwards instantly.
"Swish~~~p."
The dagger that slid upward along the blade suddenly cut off the two fingers of the guards.
"ah!!!"
The guards of Zhongqiu changed their swords to their left hand and waved them randomly, but the Nighthawk did not pursue them and moved directly towards the main target.
Brante's heartbeat was faster than before, and he felt a strong threat to life.
I don’t know how many enemies there are in the dark, and he doesn’t have enough confidence in his martial arts.
Holding the crystal accessories in his left hand, trying not to let the light shine out, carefully stuffing the crystal accessories back into the armor, grabbing the sword in his right hand, and looking around with vigilantly.
At the next moment, a warning suddenly erupted, and a light breeze hit, and Brante leaned back instinctively.
“Zla…”
A thin spark was drawn from the armor near the collar.
Brante was numb in his backwardness. If he had just slowed down, his throat would be cut open.
Before he could make any other response.
"Bang!" With a sound, the area outside the breastplate of the abdomen was hit hard.
"Uhhh!"
Brante groaned in pain, and at the same time, a strong drag behind him, the remaining war horses suddenly went crazy.
"hiss!!!"
"Bang~"
The moment the war horse ran out, Brante was dragged off his whole body and fell heavily to the ground, making him dizzy.
Before I could stand up, a cold dagger was stuck on my neck.
At this time, the pro-guards on the periphery were still fighting in the darkness.
"Don't touch the noble young master! I won't take your life!"
A voice that lowered its voice sounded in Brantai's ear, and the blade of the dagger was getting closer to his neck.
"We don't want to cause extra trouble. If you kill you, your army will definitely pursue you. I only want treasures, as long as the glowing treasure you hide in your clothes, it should be sold for a lot of money!"
The dagger was turned up, and Brante felt a slight pain.
"Give it to me quickly!"
In this case, try to save your life as much as possible. This is the education received by every noble since childhood.
Despite his unwillingness, Brante did as he did. He carefully pulled out the accessories from the neckline. Before he could untickle the rope, the dagger on his neck cut off his body first, and at the same time, he steadily caught the crystal accessories with one hand.
Then a few short whistles sounded, and Brante staggered and fell back to the ground from his restrained state, and the life-threatening dagger was gone.
The five Nighthawks quickly evacuated according to the scheduled plan and ran away in the darkness and chaos.
"Successful!!!"
"Great!!! Go back quickly! As long as you can send it back!!"
Wow~~~
A rapid sound of breaking through the air approached in an instant.
"Puff~"
One of the five Nighthawks suddenly got hit by an arrow, throwing him back and falling.
Then the second arrow and the third arrow...
"Run!! Don't worry about us, take that back!!"
Even Heno could not shoot arrows in the dark, so it was already great that he could not be biased, so the three people who were shot were not dead.
The leader of the Nighthawk and another companion gritted their teeth and did not stop to save their comrades, but instead snatched a camel horse and ran separately.
...
Heno finally rushed back to Brante, and the people around him had already begun to adapt to the darkness.
From the attack just now, it is actually just that vision has begun to adapt to such a small change in darkness.
"Is it okay?"
"fine!"
Brante stood up awkwardly and sat back on a military camel horse.
"Although these people pretend to be robbing money and desperate, they are definitely not ordinary characters, father, I..."
"No need to say, I will not allow them to escape if I dare to assassinate the heirs of the Nolan family!"
