Chapter 0433 Little Anne of Roasted Frogs(1/4)
After discovering the assassin, the soldiers of the Defia Republic, wearing red sword-hammer robe, one-piece plate armor, closed iron helmets, and only two fanatical eyes exposed, held the heavy and sharp steel spears in their hands, and thick Defia badge shields, and shouted slogans from different directions around, and quickly surrounded the masked assassin confronting their Queen Vanessa.
That bold stalker dared to assassinate their land queen in front of the army of the Kingdom of Difia. This behavior of not taking tens of thousands of troops seriously has completely angered these soldiers.
"Back back!"
"All soldiers obey orders. This kind of little thief doesn't need so many people. You all retreat!"
Before the shield soldiers of the Difia Republic surrounded him and planned to stab the assassin killer into a honeycomb, Vanessa was alert to the enemy's actions and shouted in time to stop them.
"You stay with the ogre Grabbottek, Arcane Mage Combe and Orc Shaman Regal, everyone else will retreat to the 100-yard outer circle formation and surround me to tightly!"
Since the age of eight, Vanessa, who has been trained in the Kingdom of Quel'thalas, has certainly known that if there are too many people around her, it will only be a bad thing!
So, after ordering the soldiers and asking them to retreat in time, she left only the ogre leader, a great wizard and the orc Shaman Regal to help her. In this way, no matter how powerful the other party is, the four people should be more than enough to siege an enemy.
"All the Gun and Shield Legion soldiers obeyed the order: retreat one hundred yards and form an inner circle formation!"
Looking at Vanessa's confident expression and thinking about the assistance of three powerful spellcasters, Pete did not talk much, but raised his fist to let the troops start executing military orders immediately.
Soon, Vanessa's order was immediately implemented by their General Pete!
Except for the three people specially named by the Queen, the other soldiers shrank back again like a tide, and set up shields and spears on the periphery in the form of crowded people, and surrounded the five people in the middle.
"I still don't understand..."
"How did you escape just now? That special energy form... seems to be a shadow?"
"Ha! This is really an interesting way to escape... Little girl, I really want to know, which shadow master you inherited from?"
The assassin, who was covered in a headscarf and face mask, was wearing tight gray-brown cloth and trousers, except for gloves, had only two eyes leaked all over his body, but had no armor protection. At this time, he didn't seem to care about the soldiers who retreated a hundred yards and surrounded the formation here, or paid attention to the three elite strong men from different races who were forced towards her. She just looked at the girl from the same stalker on the opposite side and asked with a little puzzled look.
She really didn't understand. Just now, how did the other party avoid her own fierce attack that was definitely a must-kill attack? Moreover, how could the other party inexplicably turn into a ball of black smoke that was not attacked by her?
Of course, as a stalker, she would not be too unfamiliar with that kind of shadow energy, but... the skill of using the power of shadow does not seem to be the crude techniques of their stalkers?
Anyway, as far as she knows, it will not be a way to escape from trouble, nor will it be a stealth method used by assassins, nor will it be a quick blasting skill like Shadow Step that can both raid and escape...
In short, she was very interested in the other party’s methods and the other party’s teacher!
As far as she knew, in the two continents of the eastern kingdom, whether it was humans from various countries, Lavenhod Manor, high elves, or even the dwarfs and dwarfs, there should be no Master Ranger who could have such a strange way to escape from difficulties and escape.
"Hmph! You're almost dead anyway, so I'll tell you generously: In fact, it's just a form of my use of shadow energy!"
Vanessa sneered and dealt with the other party, while waiting for her three helpers to disperse. At the same time, she was staring at the other party's figure and every move, trying to determine the other party's flaws and combat characteristics so that she could launch a fatal blow later, or calmly deal with the other party's attack?
Just now, that was just because she was a little careless! And now, in such a prepared situation, Vanessa would not be afraid of any frontal enemies! Besides, there are many people on her side now, so I won’t talk about the soldiers on the outside. Just cooperate with her, there are mage protection and attacks, two-headed ogre leader as a flesh shield, and the auxiliary attack and healing of orc shamans. What else should she worry about?
At this moment, the delicate skin on her neck could still vaguely feel the strange feeling of the other party's hair when the blade touched the monkey's head! So, later, she must give the other party a good look and must avenge the sword that almost cut her head!
"Shadow form..."
"But, isn't that kind of thing a trick that only the evil Twilight clergymen would play? And you... are you a Shadow Priest?!"
The old and hoarse voice was still asking so slowly. It could be heard from the other party's voice. It was obviously not intentional. Vanessa and the other three could clearly judge that the other party's age seemed to be very old.
For this kind of old guy, Vanessa and others not only did not relax their vigilance, but also raised 100% attention and vigilance!
You know, there is no tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young in the world of Azeroth! In this world full of dangers and weirdness, no one knows whether an old guy is a bad guy who has grown old? Moreover, no matter what race, the older his age before his strength begins to decline, the stronger his strength and experience will definitely be. This kind of guy is the most difficult to deal with!
Therefore, if you are not vigilant, you may be stabbed by the enemy at any time, just like Vanessa just now! If it were someone else, you would have been taken away by the enemy with his head and raised it!
"Oh...you said Shadow is evil?"
"Hmph! In the eyes of you Stormwind City, are there any justice and evil? I don't think there is any absolute evil or justice in the world... There is no right or wrong in power, only the human heart is wrong!"
In Vanessa's opinion, what's the use of those guys in Stormwind, urging dazzling golden light all day long, preaching the doctrine of seemingly infinite justice? Because what they did was that dirty and evil thing!
To her, Vanessa, all the upper classes in Storm City were evil!
Not only did they owe the stonemason union wages and expel her fathers, but in the end, they also cruelly and shamelessly killed her father... I think back then, if she hadn't happened to be rescued by the lost Queen Anne sister, I'm afraid... She Vanessa would have rotted in the sewer of Stormwind City, turning into an unknown skeleton and lying in a dark and stinking ditch?
Well, Vanessa doesn't like to use the word "sister" to a little girl Anne, because when she thinks of a little girl, she feels very twisted and feels a little uncomfortable all over her body...
"Also, I'm not the so-called Twilight Priests you imagine... I'm actually like you, a stalker! At the same time, I'm also a killer, the shadow killer Vanessa!"
After turning slightly, he used the shadow energy to enchant his hand. The blade was pitch black and would not reflect too much light. At the same time, the power was as powerful as the two bent blades that had been smeared with poison, Vanessa slowly bowed down and made a forward attack, cooperating with her subordinates to kill the enemy at any time.
Since the enemy dares to be so proud that they don’t escape at the first time, then just stay here forever!
Vanessa's high elf teacher once taught her: Never have kind thoughts to the enemy! At least... Never have that kind of thought before the enemy dies completely!
"Ha! This is really interesting... Just a little girl like you, you have been learning it for a few years, and you dare to come out and call it a killer?"
"Just just now, if I hadn't expected you to have that strange way of escape... I'm afraid that your ridiculous head would have been no longer yours... Then, at this time tomorrow, it would hang high above the gate of Stormwind City?"
Shaking her head, there was still the old voice that was not slow or anxious. She teased Vanessa so unscrupulously and successfully aroused the irritability of a young stalker who might not be able to practice his home.
"Wait for me, old guy! At that time, the one who hangs the gate of Stormwind City first will definitely be your head that dares not see anyone!"
Seeing the ogre leader Glabutoke who was ready to cast the spell next to her, the orc Shaman Regar and the arcane wizard Combe had already signaled to her, indicating that she was ready, Vanessa focused slightly and took the lead to sprinting towards the abominable enemy, and rushed towards the opponent at an extremely fast speed!
Since my helper is ready now, there is no need to delay any further.
"Okay... Then let me Pasonia Shore teach you well...what is the real killer's way..."
The next moment, Pasonia Shore narrowed his eyes slightly and also ran away, rushing towards Vanessa Van Cliff, who was rushing towards him, and looked at her poisonous dagger that was guarding her chest and abdomen, and it was obvious that she was ready to fight the enemy!
However……
When the body of the killer who claimed to be Pasonia Shore hit the high-speed Vanessa with the double blades hitting Vanessa, who was rushing towards him, was surprised to find that what she had hit was just a fake phantom?!
“…”
After his dark double edges broke the slightly dull phantom, or the mirror-like Pasonia Shore, Vanessa was ready to act rashly, but was on the spot and stared at the surroundings with caution.
Now that the enemy has disappeared and sneaked up, she must not make mistakes, otherwise, she will be dead!
At the same time, the ogres, orc shamans and human mages who had already guided their spells and were about to attack were also looking at each other. They were also concentrating on observing Vanessa's surroundings... If their Queen Vanessa was not standing there, I'm afraid they would have covered the spells together and threw them over and bombed the enemy out?
“…”
After a few seconds, the enemy still had no movement, and seemed to be still sneaking in the shadow, which made Vanessa and others unable to find the other person's figure and position... However, there was a bit that Vanessa was sure that the other person had never walked away, at least, it had not exceeded the radius of a hundred yards surrounded by her soldiers!
However, the other party must be moving slowly at a very low speed, or simply standing still somewhere. Only in this way can we hide the perceptions of her, the orc Regal and the Arcane Master Combe.
“…”
However, after a while, Vanessa, who had not discovered anything, seemed to finally realize something.
"Not good! I'm fooled! She's going to run! Hurry up, Grabutoke, use your flame spell to circle this place directly!"
Suddenly, Vanessa exclaimed loudly. She finally knew what the other party wanted to do after sneaking for so long!
While he was on guard, Vanessa shouted at the two-headed ogre leader who was still standing there, scratching his head and ears, and had no choice but to do anything!
At this time, she was not in a hurry to enter the stealth state, because now there are many people on her side, and her firepower is strong, and she has an absolute advantage! If she is accidentally injured by her own people after stealth, she will have no place to cry!
"Starting? Glabutoke needs to process money..."
"That's right! Glabutoke can serve Queen Vanessa, but... the wages cannot be reduced, and we have all the delicious food!"
After the two heads of the ogre leader said a few words to each other, he raised his wooden staff, which was wrapped in cloth strips and unknown skulls, high.
Flame barrier!!
A wall of flames, as Glabutok, who had finished casting, waved his staff with his hands, quickly burned around the huge open space with a radius of about a hundred yards, directly surrounding the entire area between them, which was as big as a football field.
The height of those firewalls is several yards high. Once the enemy dares to break through or jump over, they will definitely be burned by the magical flames and revealed their bodies by the powerful secret technique of Glabutok!
"It's really damn..."
Pasonia Shore, who had just left the four people less than fifty yards, had to stop. Now she suddenly felt a little embarrassed... because she was trapped here without being able to succeed and run outside the defense line of the ordinary enemy soldiers in time.
Moreover, she never thought that the two-headed ogre's spell could reach this level... This time, she made a mistake in judgment...
That's right, Pasonia Shore just wanted to run away, and the words she said just now were all routines! How could she, who is old and ghostly, face four powerful enemies under the watchful eyes of countless soldiers? She is just old, and her strength has not declined, nor has she gone crazy!
Besides, her Pasonia Shore's killer way is actually: if you miss a single blow, you will immediately escape thousands of miles away!
Everyone knows that Pasonia Shore, the founder of Stormwind City Military 7, never attacks the second time when she performs any and assassination after she becomes famous, nor does she need to attack the second time! When she sets out in person, it means that the target is dead...
However, today, this is really her only mistake in so many years!
Before, she was taking advantage of the other party's alertness to move quietly to the periphery in the downwind direction, not daring to be too fast, and at the same time, she slowly controlled the flow of the air around her to avoid any abnormality, ensuring that she would not make too much noise under the perception of the powerful shaman and the mage.
Originally, as long as she left a certain distance, she could directly sneak into the formation of the soldiers and quietly sneak away. At that time, no matter who she was, she would not think of finding her again! But who would have thought that the cunning little girl would come back to her senses so quickly and know her true purpose.
Now, I was accidentally trapped...
Although she was in a difficult situation, Pasonia Shore was not desperate, nor nervous. She was still calm in her eyes while sneaking, as if the situation around her had nothing to do with her.
Then, she began to look at the flames that formed a circle like a city wall. After weighing for a while, Pasonia Shore, who did not dare to cross them rashly, could only turn around slowly and stare at the two-headed ogre who casts the spell with cold eyes.
As long as the opponent can be killed, the magic will naturally become invalid, sure? But... she needs to think about a solution. She has to think about how she can kill the big guy with one blow, and not allow the orc shaman and arcane mage to find an opportunity to successfully catch her?
Once entangled, she would not have any confidence and would be able to escape from the bombardment of three spellcasters.
Actually, she didn't want to assassinate the bandit leader of Defia today. She wanted to kill the young mage Lana who killed her grandson Madias! But she never thought that the other party had already run away with the Queen of Fire more than a month ago... They all left the western wilderness... And now, it is said that the other party is staying in the City of Fire and has not come out again...
Therefore, she did not want to waste the few elite killers left to die in the enemy's tight defense, nor did she want her elderly self to travel thousands of miles, so she resolutely decided to kill the Vanessa bandit leader who invaded the Elvin Forest first, and use the other person's head to humiliate the ignorant nobles in Stormwind City who wanted to point fingers at her Pasonia taking over the 7th Military Department!
She wanted those idiots to know a fact: her Pasonia Shore's deterrence will not decline due to age... Her skills are still sharp... Her sharp blade is still sharp... Her existence is still a sharp sword, hanging on the heads of those idiots!
However, it’s a pity that if she can’t escape now... all her plans will become vague! Those greedy and ignorant nobles of Stormwind City may really be able to laugh at her, an old and incompetent guy without restraint.
To be continued...
