Although Li Cha is also a master of the holy rank, the speed of improvement is too fast, and his foundation is somewhat unstable. Usually, Li Cha can rely on strong basic attributes and treasures to cover up his shortcomings, but some details are still Slightly lacking.

​​

In particular, a master with a strong perception, such as Khed, the Sword Saint of Protecting the Country, felt the change in the shadow of the eldest prince before Li Cha noticed it, and immediately pointed his blade at the eldest prince.

​​

"what are you going to do!"

​​

"Protect Your Highness!"

​​

Seeing Keshid drawing his sword towards the eldest prince, the officers around the eldest prince reacted extremely violently, and the master of the great knight rank responded very quickly, and immediately drew his sword to protect the eldest prince.

​​

But the speed of his movements also depends on who he is. In the face of a Saint-level master like Keshid who has already touched the threshold of the realm, his reaction speed is obviously not enough. In an instant, Keshid's vindictiveness had left the sword, pointing directly at the eldest prince not far away.

​​

"Clang!"

​​

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Khed's vindictive aura did not directly kill the eldest prince, but wiped the eldest prince's side face and shot at a dark shadow behind him.

​​

This dark shadow is even more terrifying. He emerged from the shadow of the eldest prince under the eyes of everyone. A black dagger in his hand wanted to take the life of the eldest prince. He was only killed after Keshid inspired a grudge. Forced back to resist.

​​

Compared with the others around the eldest prince Ward, they were not so lucky. This blow seemed to send a certain signal. A black figure appeared in the shadows of the surrounding people, and several rushed under the officers' anger. Several soldiers who came in to defend the eldest prince were killed by the dark shadow that emerged from their shadow before they could react.

​​

The guards who can **** the vicinity of the Grand Prince's Manor are all well-trained elites. Many of them are quasi-knights, and there are even quite a few knights. They are all good players of the quasi-knight rank. In addition to being loyal, they are also very alert, otherwise they would not be chosen as the guards around the eldest prince.

​​

Such an elite force, coupled with the tacit combination of strikes, can delay even a big samurai against orcs, but when they encounter these guys who have emerged from their shadows, they can't even react at all. fell to the ground.

​​

The black dagger silently wiped away the back of their necks. The fine armor could not resist the erosion of the shadow at all. The dagger penetrated the armor in an instant and cut the spine.

​​

Several iron armored guards quickly fell to the ground. Although the manor was heavily guarded, it was basically arranged on the periphery. It was impossible for the eldest prince and Li Cha to meet with dozens or hundreds of guards by their side and come out in a tense scene, so At this moment, after the recent guards fell to the ground, the eldest prince didn't even have any guards by his side.

​​

"Clang!"

​​

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

​​

"Hey!"

​​

The assassin emerged from the shadows again. This time, the assassin shot from a more tricky angle, using the body of the eldest prince as a cover to avoid Khed's assistance. The eldest prince can't be hurt together.

​​

Fortunately, however, the eldest prince was prepared. When he felt the danger coming again, he didn't care about the image of the royal family. the fatal blow.

​​

The loyal officer beside him even disregarded his own safety and faced the strange shadow with his sword, which made him lose the best chance to pursue him.

​​

Seeing that the eldest prince escaped a blow again, the shadow who felt that he had no chance to sneak into the shadows again, but Xid's attacks had already followed.

​​

"Do you want to use the same method in front of me a second time?"

​​

The tyrannical fighting spirit was aroused from Keshid's simple long sword, and instantly penetrated the black shadow. The entire black shadow was instantly chopped into several segments. After falling to the ground, it turned from virtual to solid, and turned into a black block. A puddle of black liquid also flowed out of the block.

​​

These things that drilled out of the shadows turned out to be living beings.

​​

"Protect Your Highness Ward."

​​

After Khed killed an assassin, several black shadows appeared in the shadows and killed the people present. The average strength of these assassins was probably around the peak of the Earth Rank, because they could be launched from the shadows. Due to the special nature of the raid, some sky-level masters may also suffer from a surprise attack.

​​

After several assassins appeared, Khed subconsciously wanted to turn around to protect Richard. At this time, Richard was piercing an assassin with the Alliance of Angels in his hand. The assassin missed a hit and wanted to sneak into the shadow. He escaped, but was stabbed in the heart by the chasing Richard. After losing his vitality, the whole body floated up from the shadow.

​​

However, several assassins surrounded him and attacked Richard. Khed, who was afraid of something going wrong with Richard, immediately prepared to turn around to help, but was stopped by Richard and ordered him to go back to protect the eldest prince.

​​

Although the strength of these assassins is overwhelming to the eldest prince and his guards, it is still not enough to see Li Cha. If it wasn't for their strange behavior, several assassins of the earth-level might have been defeated by Li Cha long ago. The investigation has been resolved. At this moment, Li Cha seems to be fighting back and forth with the assassin, but in fact there is no danger at all. Compared with his own safety, Li Cha is more afraid that the eldest prince will die here inexplicably, and he will stay there when the time comes. A pile of mess for him to clean up.

​​

"Hey!"

​​

Hearing Richard's order, after confirming that there was no problem with Richard, Khed nodded and turned back to the eldest prince. At this time, although the eldest prince was hiding under the table, miraculously he was not attacked by assassins. Several assassins could only emerge from the shadows farther away, and there was even an assassin who came out of the shadow of Khed without knowing his life or death, and wanted to kill Khed directly, but he was killed the moment he appeared. After being shaved off by Keshid's vindictiveness, after a short battle, the Assassin side lost three people in a row, but failed to achieve any substantial results.

"Hide under the table and don't come out!"

​​

Here, Li Cha seemed to remember something after fighting several assassins for a few more rounds. Seeing that the eldest prince seemed to want to get out from under the table, he immediately shouted to stop him.

​​

It stands to reason that hiding under the table during the war is actually not a good choice. The drill just now was only a temporary escape. Although hiding under the table can be avoided for a while, it almost loses the ability to fight back. This table is not What kind of steel plate, if two assassins break through the line of Khed's defense and stab at the bottom of the table a few times, they can also stab the eldest prince hiding below into a blood gourd, so I can hear the sound of fierce fighting around, The eldest prince instinctively held the sword and wanted to get out from under the table to fight.

​​

But before he could come out, Li Cha shouted and made him shrink back immediately. The eldest prince is not a stubborn person. Although he has his own opinions about the battle, he believes more in a master like Li Cha. Since Li Cha wants to Let him continue to hide under the table, he didn't move at all, and continued to lie under the table with swords in both hands, waiting for the result of the battle.

​​

"Protect Your Highness!"

​​

"Catch the assassin!"

​​

"Ta Tata..."

​​

Finally, the sound of dense footsteps sounded. Although the guards in the manor were far apart, they were not deaf. It was impossible not to hear such a big movement here. After a while, groups of armored guards rushed under the leadership of several officers. came in.

​​

The cooperation of the hundreds of soldiers was quite organized. The officers who led the team knew very well that the assassins who dared to stab were definitely masters. threaten.

​​

The guards did not see the eldest prince hiding under the table, but they were still able to identify at a glance who was the enemy and who was their own. It's almost clear at a glance which side to help with the unruly shadow.

​​

Under the guidance of the officers, they almost instinctively surrounded them with a semicircle formation, trying to seal the escape route of these assassins, and they rushed forward with their big guns and large shields up.

​​

It's just that when these supports arrived, the assassins who failed to assassinate instantly disappeared in front of them in a way that they couldn't understand.

​​

These black shadows actually burrowed directly into the shadows on the ground and disappeared without a trace.

​​

"His Royal Highness!"

​​

"Protect Your Highness!"

​​

Although the disappearance of these assassins was shocking, after a little stunned, the guards still realized what their mission was, and immediately began to search for Ward's traces, but they swept around and found that they could not find Ward. De's traces, the several corpses on the ground are obviously not the big prince Ward.

​​

Li Cha was also thinking about it at the moment, and he didn't say anything to remind him, leaving the officer who didn't see Ward's figure to be stunned.

​​

Until the bottom of the only table in the arena wriggled, a figure pushed aside the curtain covering the table and climbed out from below.

​​

"Your Highness!"

​​

"My subordinate's guards were not strong enough to let an assassin in, please punish your Highness!"

​​

"Cough cough!"

​​

When the officer saw Ward emerge from under the table, his tone was full of surprises, and he immediately brought a few of his men up with a large shield to protect Ward. He was really frightened just now, after all, as a garrison officer , if Ward is assassinated, he will definitely be involved, waiting for his inevitable and most severe punishment.

​​

The eldest prince's face was a little embarrassed. After all, climbing a table is not a glorious thing. Although he climbed to survive ~lightnovelpub.net~, he was suddenly seen by hundreds of his subordinates to climb up from under the table. , is still somewhat embarrassing.

​​

However, the eldest prince's qi-raising kung fu can be considered to have been practiced. After a little adjustment, he said without changing his face:

​​

"It's not your fault, you can't stop these assassins."

​​

As far as the matter is concerned, these assassins who can emerge directly from the shadow have indeed challenged the three views of the eldest prince. It is understandable that the guards under him did not guard against such assassins. Although the eldest prince is a little impatient, it is not a big deal. Unreasonable people have no intention of punishing their subordinates.

​​

After confirming that he was safe and calming down a little, the eldest prince turned his gaze to Richard, who was still in silence, and asked:

​​

"Brother-in-law, do you know the origin of those assassins?"

​​

Just now, Li Cha reminded the eldest prince to hide under the table and not come out, as if he knew something about these assassins. The eldest prince managed to escape after listening to Li Cha's words. Now he got up and naturally wanted to learn about these terrifying assassins from Li Cha's mouth.

​​

After the eldest prince asked the question, Li Cha also recovered from his meditation, paused for a while and then replied:

​​

"I don't dare to confirm what these guys are, but looking at their methods, it seems that they have disappeared for thousands of years."

​​

"what?"

​​

"Like a subordinate of a **** in the age of elves, a shadow assassin..."
