The crossbow arrow flew out of the darkness and penetrated the throat of a guard without any hindrance.
The sharp point came out from the back of the guard's neck, shimmering slightly with cold light, and blood spattered on the wall.
The guard's eyes widened, as if he did not expect that death would come so suddenly.
"Ho ho ho—"
He wanted to say something else, but his trachea was filled with blood gushing out, and he could only make an inexplicable sound. He stretched out his hand to pull out the crossbow arrow stuck in his neck, but in the end he didn't touch the crossbow arrow.
Lost all strength.
thump--
The corpse's knees weakened and fell to the ground.
Viserys was standing not far from the guard. Due to the angle of view, his position could not be directly seen from the corner.
However, in fact, he was very close to the killed guard. He was even talking to him just now, and the guard still had a smile on his face.
But in an instant, hot blood splashed onto the silver-haired boy's clean face.
All this happened so quickly and so unexpectedly that neither Viserys nor the other guard could react. They just stood there stupidly, seemingly stunned.
However, the only remaining guard reacted faster than Viserys.
He seemed to vaguely see a pair of eyes with a cruel light in the darkness.
"Enemy attack!"
Then the guard suddenly pulled out his sword from his waist and pulled back Viserys with one hand, who had just reacted and wiped the blood on his face.
"Your Highness, run away!"
The young guard stood in front of Viserys to cut off the little king's throne, and the silver-haired boy with blood on his face did not hesitate or refuse at all.
Turn around and run.
Boom——
And in the darkness, the tightened bowstring burst out again.
Another crossbow arrow flew out of the darkness, and this time its target was Viserys who finally appeared in his sight.
However, it is a pity that Viserys ran very fast, and the crossbow arrow was shot crookedly. The moving target was much more difficult than the fixed target.
The crossbow arrow hit the boy's hair and took away a strand of his silver-gold hair, and then nailed it to the wall.
Bang——
There were splashes of gravel and dust, and the crossbow's tail was still trembling slightly, which showed how powerful the arrow was.
"so close!"
Viserys first felt a slight chill in his ears, followed by burning pain.
However, at this moment, Viserys had no time to care about the pain on his face, his heart was beating rapidly, and he was filled with incomparable fear.
He just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.
…
"Damn it!"
"Screwed!"
And in the darkness not far away.
The members of the mercenary group who attacked with crossbows looked slightly gloomy when they saw that the second arrow failed and allowed the Targaryen boy to escape.
But what was even worse was that the guard's shout seemed to alert the entire Stone Drum Tower guards.
The fact that they were the first to be exposed here might even affect the plan of the leader on the other side and several other brothers to intercept and kill Queen Leila.
"Chase!"
And the big man named Langdon who was carrying a battle ax also had a gloomy face, and the red and black paint looked quite ferocious.
Then he suddenly stood up from the darkness and strode towards Viserys in pursuit.
The entire group of seven people who carried out this commission are all good players in the group. After all, this commission is very important, and the number of people who are leading it must be small but precise.
Otherwise, if they were discovered by the fleet of Dragonstone Island, even if they pulled all the members of their mercenary group over to the sea, they would all have to jump into the sea to feed the fish.
After entering the Dragonstone Castle, a group of seven people split into two groups. Three people on one side came to kill Viserys, while the leader on the other side led the remaining three people to attack Queen Layla, who had better defenses.
They thought that sending three people to kill one child was more than enough, mainly to deal with the Targaryen Prince's guards.
Langdon strode towards Viserys, but the loyal Dragonstone guard would not let them pass so easily.
"stop!"
The guard held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, blocking their way in the corridor.
Although the voice was loud and loud, a slight tremor could still be heard.
"Who are you!"
However, he still did not turn around and run away. He was trying to buy Viserys as much time as possible to escape.
Dragonstone was once the fiefdom of Rhaegar Targaryen, so these guards were all subordinates who had followed Prince Rhaegar and were loyal to the Targaryen family.
Viserys didn't know how his almost perfect brother had such great affinity that everyone who had ever met him was full of praise for him.
But in his memory, his eldest brother was indeed very talented and handsome.
He remembered that his brother once took the boy for an outing in the Kingswood, but he was attacked by an adult wild boar. Prince Rhaegar held Viserys in his arms and brought down the boar dexterously and gracefully with only one hand and a sword.
wild boar.
But Rhaegar did not chase after it and kill it, but let the injured wild boar escape.
In short, the deceased prince became synonymous with perfection.
But now the loyal guards of Dragonstone did not run away, but bravely stepped forward to delay Viserys' escape.
clang--
The guard, who had undergone strict training and had excellent skills, had a head-on fight with the mercenary who usually licked blood from his knife edge. The three of them surrounded him and left him alone in the narrow corridor.
Dangdang——
The guard's long sword blocked the attacks of the other two people. In the darkness, gold and iron collided and sparks burst out.
However, then a battle ax struck down, and in a hurry, the Targaryen soldiers could only raise the buckler in their left hand to resist.
The next second.
Bang——
Wood chips were flying, and the big man among the mercenaries was holding a battle ax and struck hard on the round shield held by the guard in his left hand. The force was so strong that he almost split the shield in half with one axe.
The guards on Dragonstone Island did not expect that the other party was so strong, and their expressions suddenly changed.
And his body did not stand still and staggered slightly, almost falling to the ground.
However, mercenaries who usually live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife will naturally not show mercy.
The big man turned the ax in his hand again and took away the guard's head without even making a scream.
puff--
The guard's head was chopped off and rolled to the ground, blood spurting out as if it was free of charge.
The headless corpse fell weakly against the wall and collapsed.
At this moment, Viserys had already fled to the spiral staircase on the third floor of the Stone Drum Tower.
Panting heavily, he just turned his head and saw this scene.
The brave guard spent his life to delay him for enough time, but he was killed by the brutal enemy in three moves.
Viserys watched his enemy striding towards him again, feeling his scalp numb slightly.
"Damn..."
The silver-haired boy gritted his teeth slightly, then turned around and ran away.
