The afterglow of the fireball burned off the headband on Ye Mei's head, and her long purple hair spread instantly, but the mask was still intact on her face.

Further down, a large piece of her clothes was burned off on her chest, revealing two flawless and indescribable flowers.

There was a lot of blood oozing from the abdomen, which was the big wound left by Mapel's attack just now.

However, Ye Mei didn't care about what she looked like now. As soon as she landed, she hurriedly looked up at Owen, trying to confirm whether her last blow would kill him or cause serious damage to him.

Seeing Owen getting up from the ground like a normal person, she looked in disbelief, her expression still invisible behind the mask.

How could that happen?! What kind of clothes was he wearing underneath?

After expending so much effort and exerting all his strength to thrust the sword, it was not even able to break through the protective equipment worn by the opponent.

Seeing this, Ye Mei was so angry that she vomited blood on the spot, and the vomited blood dripped down the bottom edge of the mask.

This assassination operation was considered a complete failure. This was the first time she tasted failure, and she felt quite uncomfortable.

Seeing that the rescue team was coming here, Ye Mei had to give the remaining assassins a retreat order. She could not be caught by the opponent here yet.

"Everyone, withdraw!"

Upon hearing the order, the assassins who besieged Angelica withdrew from the battle and fled westward with Ye Mei.

"Don't let them escape, everyone, shoot freely!" Viscount Jarvis, who rushed over, immediately ordered.

Lusha also issued the same order.

The soldiers and lizardmen who came to the rescue raised their muskets and fired in the direction in which the enemy was fleeing.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After firing and reloading, they pursued the enemy in the rear.

The castle guards who arrived later joined the pursuit.

Mapel did not pursue the fleeing enemy; she was more worried about Owen's physical condition.

"Sir Owen, are you okay? Are there any injuries on your body? Do you want me to check it?"

"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to worry too much."

Owen covered his chest with his left hand, stretched out his right hand towards Mapel and shook it.

Although the enemy leader's final blow did not penetrate the body armor, the momentum generated still made Owen feel a dull pain in his chest.

This shows how much force the opponent exerted.

Then, Owen turned around and said to the two people who came to the rescue: "Viscount Jarvis, Lusha, don't pursue the enemy."

He still understands the principle of not pursuing a poor enemy.

The main reason is that the enemy leader's dark magic is too strong. If you pursue him too deeply, you may be killed by the enemy without him noticing.

Owen didn't want to receive reports of soldiers dying inexplicably, which would also affect everyone's morale.

Hearing this, Viscount Jarvis and Lusha nodded and immediately reminded their men not to pursue too far.

This time, if Angelica's light magic hadn't restrained the opponent, today's ending might have been a different situation.

The enemy leader didn't know that Owen was wearing a body armor. Although he could block the first attack, he might not be so lucky the second time.

If the first assassination failed, the other party would have noticed something strange. Then when the second assassination attempt was made, they would not have chosen to attack the chest area, but would have wiped the neck instead.

If that were the case, Owen might not survive.

"Owen...huh...sir...huh..."

Because she was very worried about Owen, Theresa ran very fast all the way. When she arrived, she was out of breath, sweating a lot, and her cheeks were flushed.

Owen knew what Teresa wanted to ask, and replied: "I'm fine, Teresa, please go and treat the seriously injured guard first."

"good……"

After nodding her head, Teresa immediately went over to check on the two guards who fell on the ground.

On the other side, Angelica came to Winnie and stretched out her hand.

"Although I knew you wouldn't be able to play any role, I didn't expect you to be such a waste. You were shot down by the enemy as soon as you flew over."

When the two first met, Winnie accidentally hit a big tree while running away.

From then on, Angelica knew that Winnie had no combat experience at all, and she didn't pay attention to the situation ahead when she ran away.

Fortunately, all the assassins obeyed the orders and were fighting with Angelica. However, the main target of Ye Mei was Owen and was not interested in Winnie on the ground.

Otherwise, everyone would have to focus on protecting Winnie, which would undoubtedly make the battle more difficult.

"Don't say that, you are so annoying to others." Wen Nuan said with a frustrated look.

Holding back the pain from her shoulders and wings, she reached out and took Angelica's hand, and stood up with her help.

Afterwards, Angelica walked up to Owen, performed a knight's salute, and expressed her apology.

"I'm sorry, Marquis Aisen. My mission was obviously to protect you, but I got entangled by those assassins and put you in danger."

"No need to apologize, Angelica." Owen smiled, "Thanks to you discovering the enemy in advance, we can be prepared to meet the enemy. Moreover, you can contain so many people at the same time, which is already very powerful."

Having said this, he spread his hands.

"What's more, am I still safe and sound? Your mission has not failed."

"Fortunately, Marquis Aisen, you were prepared and wore a piece of clothing with excellent protective capabilities."

Angelica lowered her gaze and stared curiously at the strange fish scale body armor inside him.

"By the way, this equipment can actually block the enemy's powerful attacks. I wonder if it can also block my full-force attack? I really want to try it."

When she said this, Angelica looked eager to try, as if she would really launch an attack later.

"No, no, no, no."

Hearing this, Owen was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, pretending to be afraid and said: "I definitely can't withstand your full blow, so don't try it."

As he spoke, he covered his chest with his hands again, as if he was in unbearable pain, as if he had not yet recovered from the enemy's blow.

"Haha, I'm kidding." Angelica laughed.

The next step was to clean up the mess. This attack resulted in a total of two deaths, the two guards that Ye Mei killed when she was invisible.

They had already died before Teresa arrived, and there was really nothing they could do to save themselves.

Afterwards, the city hall will hold funerals for these two people and properly handle their funeral affairs. At least their families can continue to live peacefully in Bianzhu Town.

…

Somewhere in the Mysterious Forest, Ye Mei escaped here with the remaining assassins.

After confirming that there were no pursuers, she stopped in front of a certain tree, supported the trunk of the tree with her right hand, and tremblingly took off her mask with her left hand.

It can be seen that Ye Mei's face is extremely pale and bloodless at this time, and there is blood under her mouth.

puff!

She couldn't help spitting blood on the ground again, and her face became extremely ugly.
Chapter completed!
