Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 541: Kill

Facts have proved that the arrangement of the First Prince based on the characteristics of the Shadow Assassin is very effective. The large umbrella held up by the Iron Guard blocked the sun and ensured that there were no biological shadows within a few dozen meters around him. The shadow assassin can only launch an attack from a crowd dozens of meters away, and the suddenness of the assassination has been completely lost. The assassination had effectively turned into a berserker-style assassination.

A dozen shadow assassins can only launch a frontal attack from dozens of meters away. At this distance, not to mention masters like Richard and Keshid, even ordinary Iron Guard soldiers can reach reaction time.

"Chi!"

"Chi!"

"Ah!"

The soldiers who faced the Shadow Assassin at first had little time to react. The moment the Shadow Assassin appeared, their necks were slashed and they fell to the ground. However, they won victory for more Iron Guard soldiers. In the reaction time, after a dozen soldiers fell, the Iron Guard officers issued a command roar, and hundreds of Iron Guard elites shouted to kill and rushed towards the dozen shadows.

"Cang!"

"Cang!"

"Chi, chi..."

"Ah!"

The sword and shield fighters at the front were all good at fighting in battle formations. As soon as they rushed up, three of them formed a formation and pushed towards the shadow assassin in a semi-arc. Behind them, there was also a spearman and four people formed. In a fighting group, the sword and shield hand is strong and responsible for pressing forward, while the spearman has quick eyes and quick hands. He shoots his spear like a poisonous snake spitting messages. He is good at filling the gap between several sword and shield men when they usually attack. The lethality and this set of group tactics make the elites of the Iron Guard invincible in melees. It is difficult for ordinary knights to be entangled by such a combat group composed of elite veterans. There are three or four such combat groups. Along the way, even the knight had a headache.

It’s just that the gap in combat power between them and the Shadow Assassins is still too big. Although the Shadow Assassins are not very good at frontal fighting, their frontal combat power is also at the earth level. Perhaps the battle formation fighting is not as good as that of human knights or orcs of the same level. Samurai, but it is not difficult to deal with some elite soldiers who are not yet quasi-knights. Even if the big umbrella above their heads ruins their advantage of jumping out of the shadows to attack suddenly, with a black sharp blade and ghostly speed , they can still break through the crowd quickly.

After the swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row rushed towards the shadow assassins, before they even saw the movements of these assassins, they were wiped by the knife on their necks. Blood spurted from their necks. They covered the wounds with both hands and fell to the ground in pain. The long ones followed closely behind. The spearman basically lost his usual accuracy, and his quick and accurate thrusts had no effect in front of the shadow assassin. He was obviously thrusting his spear at the shadow, but when he tried hard, he found that he had stabbed nothing. , the black shadow that was two meters away not only dodged the spears they thrust out, but also came directly to their side. Finally, the black shadow flashed, and the spearmen following in the back row also encountered the sword and shield soldiers from before. met the same fate.

The soldiers of the Iron Guard were cut down like wheat one after another in front of the Shadow Assassins. If they were replaced by a weaker-willed army, they should basically be killed and dispersed by now, but the Iron Guard is after all. The prince's pro-army, the trump card force used to suppress the local area, always has its own merits. In addition to skilled combat skills and tacit understanding, a tenacious fighting will is also essential. A large number of Iron Guard soldiers completely ignored the front The fallen comrades in the platoon were still attacking the shadow assassins one after another under the leadership of the officers, willing to use their own lives to delay the opponent's actions even for a second.

At a distance of tens of meters, the density of the Iron Guards was too high. With their fierce and fearless aura, they actually seemed to stop these shadow assassins, and the surrounding Iron Guards did not In order to watch the show, the threat level of the guards of the Ancora family was too low, and they were not regarded as a threat by the Iron Guards at all. After the shadow assassin appeared, the Iron Guards on the outside also turned around and tried to fight with the Iron Guards in the inner circle. The guards formed a joint force to directly encircle and suppress the shadow assassins who broke through. This posture actually looked like they would kill these shadow assassins with the help of a sea of ​​people.

"Cang!"

"Bang!"

"The umbrella fell down!"

"The umbrella fell down!"

"Watch your step and watch your shadow!"

However, no one is a fool. The shadow assassins dared to charge directly into the formation. They were still somewhat prepared. The shadow assassins who broke into the formation quickly found the loopholes in the eldest prince's arrangement. The Iron Guards prepared Although large umbrellas can block the sun, they must be held by someone to maintain their condition. When the shadow assassin chopped down several soldiers holding umbrellas, obvious flaws appeared in the continuous umbrella array.

"Chi!"

"Ah!"

Although there were warnings from officers, it was still difficult for the soldiers whose shadows were exposed in the formation to react to the attacks of the shadow assassins. The shadow assassins began to frequently appear from the shadows of the soldiers and kill them with one blow. In the end, he didn't get entangled, and sneaked into the shadows of others again, back and forth. Originally, the Iron Guard soldiers relied on their dense siege formations to limit the movements of the shadow assassins, reduce the opponent's room for movement, and use their own lives to destroy the shadows. The assassin's speed advantage was reduced to a minimum, forcing the shadow assassins to confront each other head on. In this way, with the dense crowd tactics, there is always a chance to kill the opponent.

But now when the sunlight returned to the formation and many soldiers exposed their shadows again, the shadow assassins quickly found room to move and shuttled directly between the shadow and the physical world, rendering the Iron Guard soldiers useless. The chance of overwhelming them was impossible, at least for a short period of time. The situation collapsed, and the shadow assassins began to quickly approach the location of the great prince.

"That's about it."

At this time, the eldest prince was still standing firmly under a few big umbrellas. The person who gave him confidence was not the knight-level guards around him, but Richard and others who had been observing the shadow assassin but did not take action.

As Richard finished speaking, the first person to take action was Natalis, who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time. After basically understanding the shadow assassin's fighting method, Natalis took the lead to support the Iron Guard soldiers who were still fighting. .

"Cang!"

A shadow assassin emerged from the shadow, and the black broken blade in his hand struck directly at an Iron Guard soldier holding a large umbrella. These Iron Guard soldiers have a very high degree of execution of orders, even if they are killing Right in front of them, they also tried their best to support the giant umbrella in their hands, trying to ensure that no one appeared in the area, but in this way they became the main target of the shadow assassin's attack, but this Iron Guard soldier was undoubtedly lucky.

When the short knife in the shadow assassin's hand stabbed his neck, a black-smelling scimitar held the short knife in his hand tightly. Even the holy-level Richard was faster than the shot. They can only be regarded as comparable to Natalis. Natalis is a kind of fully agile warrior. She uses her speed to the extreme, not only holding the shadow assassin's short knife, but also preventing the opponent from sneaking into the shadow and escaping.

Because the soldier holding the umbrella has not yet fallen, there is still no figure within a few meters of the surrounding area. If the shadow assassin wants to sneak into the figure and escape, he needs to cross a distance of several meters. Normally speaking, the shadow assassin only needs It takes less than half a second to arrive, and ordinary soldiers have basically no chance of stopping them. Therefore, the shadow assassins could leave calmly every time after the attack, but this action seemed too long in front of Natalie, almost There were all flaws. Just when the shadow assassin jumped over and tried to get into the shadow, a scimitar had already stabbed into his chest.

The black blood was left in a different place, and the shadow assassin also turned into a physical entity and fell to the ground, becoming an unknown black solid. Natalies did not stop there, but instead summoned several night angels to act together. , no one in the melee was confused as to why these night angels with black wings suddenly appeared. Instead, their powerful combat power, like the Valkyries on the battlefield, calmed the enemy and their own soldiers. The shadow assassins who originally moved like ghosts completely lost their speed advantage in front of them. These night angels who used scimitars and spiked boots quickly let them know what real speed is. Many shadow assassins were attacked as soon as they appeared. The scimitar slashed him and he had to retreat into the shadow. The scene was funny like a game of whack-a-mole. The shadow assassins who were able to retreat into the shadow were lucky. The slightly unluckier ones were killed before they could even retreat into the shadow. Night Angel was solved on the spot, and black blood flowed out, and he turned into a black unknown solid object like his previous companions.

The progress of the Shadow Assassins' original breakthrough quickly stalled. Although the number of Night Angels was not as good as that of the Shadow Assassins, their combat power was much higher. Several Night Angels quickly suppressed the Shadow Assassins who were very arrogant before. It's not that the shadow assassins can hide in the shadows of people, maybe Natalis herself can lead a few night angels to completely clean out these shadow assassins.

While Natalie and the Night Angels suppressed the Shadow Assassins, the Iron Guard soldiers responded very quickly. Although they were somewhat unable to help in the battle, they found the way to make the Shadow Assassins the most effective The uncomfortable way of helping was to put up the umbrella that had fallen to the ground again, and to protect the umbrella with a team of several people. They no longer tried to fight back the shadow assassin. Once someone fell, the remaining people immediately replaced one to catch it. The big umbrella continued to maintain its position, treating the big umbrella in its hand just like the soldiers carrying the flag on the battlefield. The shadow assassins did not dare to delay under the umbrella. Sometimes they did not even have time to kill a single person. As soon as he fell, he was attacked by the Night Angel.

"Damn, what the **** are these!"

"Is this another dependent of the awakened god?"

"Why does this strong smell of death side with humans?"

Looking at the Night Angels who suppressed his subordinates, the black-robed Lord of Shadows lost his calm expression for the first time. His first reaction was that the Night Angels were the same as the Shadow Assassins in his hands. Who was he? The dependents of the gods felt the aura of the undead on the Night Angel. The first thing the black-robed divine envoy thought of was the gods of the death system, but after thinking about it for a long time, he did not think of it. At this time, he felt as if he had jumped into some kind of conspiracy. , I felt a chill in my heart for no reason, always feeling that there was a danger approaching me.

But after thinking about it, I shouldn’t. Although the Shadow Lord’s subordinates were not the strongest in ancient times, their ability to save lives was first-rate. Even if they faced some mid-level gods or The elves and holy wizards who have not mastered the laws of time and space can retreat calmly. Who of these humans can threaten their own lives?

"I still have to take action myself."

After thinking about it for a while, the black-robed divine envoy decided to take action himself. After losing so many shadow assassins and not completing the mission, he couldn't afford to lose face. He could even imagine that if he went back in despair, besides How many people would sneer at themselves.

Glancing at the eldest prince who was surrounded by the Iron Guards, the black-robed divine envoy knew very clearly that there were at least two strong men of the holy rank beside him. They were shadow assassins who had escaped from the previous assassination. The intelligence they brought back, but the black-robed divine envoy did not flinch because of the opponent's numerical advantage. Both of them should still be at the holy level of the realm of power. He is an envoy who has reached the realm of domain. No matter what, he must Give it a try.

The black-robed divine envoy suddenly flashed and turned into a gray shadow in the air. He passed directly over the crowd who were still fighting and rushed directly towards the eldest prince and others in the center.

"It's finally here."

Richard and Keshid had not moved, waiting for the divine envoy to take action. At this time, seeing the last person waiting for him move, Richard and Keshid finally took action at the same time.

"Cang!"

Keshid moved a little faster and took the lead in engaging the opponent. In just half a second, their weapons collided at least a dozen times, and the speed was so fast that it was almost indistinguishable.

A simple long sword seemed to have come to life in Keshid's hands, and it was very agile. According to Richard, this was already an almost Taoist realm of swordsmanship.

In the eyes of others, the fight between the two took place in a split second, but the details of the fight between the two were seen by Richard. Although Kexid was stronger, he was still at a disadvantage.

The two are still in a different realm. With the mastery of the shadow rules, the black-robed divine envoy still completed the suppression of Keshid.

However, Keshid did not fight alone. A long blue sword cut across the space between the two of them...
