Facts have proved that the arrangement of the First Prince according to the characteristics of the Shadow Assassin is very effective. The big 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 wanted to
The attack could only be launched from a crowd dozens of meters away, and the suddenness of the assassination was completely lost. The assassination had actually 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 have time to react.
.
"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, but this gave more Iron Guard soldiers time to react.
, 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.
"clang!"
"clang!"
"Chi, chi..."
"ah!"
The sword and shield players 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 a fighting group.
, the sword and shield hand is strong and responsible for pressing forward, while the spear hand has sharp eyes and quick hands, and the spear is spitting like a poisonous snake. It is good at making up for the lethality of the sword and shield hand in the gaps between several sword and shield hands.
, this set of group tactics allows the elites of the Iron Guard to be invincible in the melee. It is difficult for ordinary knights to find favor if they are entangled by such a combat group composed of elite veterans. Three or four such combat groups go together.
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 orc warriors of the same level, 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 and attacking suddenly, with a black sharp blade and ghostly speed, they can still defeat them.
Can quickly break through the crowd.
The sword and shield men in the front row rushed towards the shadow assassins before they could even see the movements of these assassins. They were slashed on the neck with a knife. Blood spurted from their necks. They covered the wounds with both hands and fell to the ground in pain. The spearmen who followed behind them basically fell to the ground.
The spear was no longer as accurate as usual, and the fast and accurate thrusts had no effect in front of the shadow assassin. It was clearly aimed at the black shadow, but when he tried hard, he found that he had missed the point.
The black shadow 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 same thing as the sword and shield soldiers before.
destiny.
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 weaker-willed troops, they would basically be killed and dispersed by now, but the Iron Guard belongs to the prince after all.
The 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 collapse of the front row.
The comrades-in-arms 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 block these shadow assassins, and the Iron Guards surrounding them did not watch the show.
Plan, the threat level of the guards of the Ancora family is too low, and they are not regarded as a threat by the Iron Guards at all. After the shadow assassins appeared, the outer Iron Guards also turned their direction and tried to form a formation with the inner circle of Iron Guards.
Together, they directly encircled and suppressed the shadow assassins who broke through. This posture actually looked like they would kill these shadow assassins with a sea of people.
"clang!"
"boom!"
"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 arrangement of the eldest prince. Although the large umbrella prepared by the Iron Guards
They can block the sun, but these umbrellas 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 formation.
"Chi!"
"ah!"
Although there were warnings from officers, it was still difficult for the soldiers whose shadows were revealed in the formation to react to the attacks of the shadow assassins. The shadow assassins began to appear frequently from the shadows of the soldiers, and even after killing each other with one knife, they would not respond.
Entanglement, and then sneaked into the shadows of other people, back and forth. Originally, the Iron Guard soldiers relied on the dense formation to siege, and they could try to limit the movements of the shadow assassins and reduce the opponent's room for movement. They used their own lives to slow down the speed of the shadow assassins.
The advantage is reduced to the 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, making the Iron Guard soldiers lose their ability to pile up numbers.
Their chance, at least for a short time, was gone. 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 the 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.
"clang!"
A shadow assassin emerged from the shadow, and the black broken blade in his hand struck directly at an Iron Guard soldier holding a big umbrella. These Iron Guard soldiers have a very high degree of execution of orders, even if the killing is 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 targets of the shadow assassins' attacks, 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 saint-level Richard could only move faster than the knife in his hand.
It can be considered 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 dagger, but also preventing the opponent from sneaking into the shadow and escaping.
Because the soldier holding the umbrella has not yet fallen, and there is still no figure within a few meters of the surrounding area, the shadow assassin wants to sneak into the figure and escape, and needs to cross a distance of several meters. Normally speaking, this distance only takes less than half of the shadow assassin.
They can arrive in seconds, and there is basically no possibility for ordinary soldiers to stop them. Therefore, the shadow assassins were able to leave calmly every time after the attack. However, this action seemed too long in front of Natalies, and almost all of them were flawed.
, just as 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. However, Natalie did not stop there. Instead, she summoned several night angels to act together. During the melee,
No one was confused about why these night angels with black wings suddenly appeared. Instead, their powerful combat power was like the Valkyries on the battlefield, which suppressed the enemy and their own soldiers. The shadow assassins who originally acted like ghosts were behind them.
They 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 chopped by the incoming scimitars as soon as they appeared and had to retreat into the shadows.
, the scene was as funny as a game of whack-a-mole, and the shadow assassins who were able to retreat into the shadows were lucky, while the slightly unlucky ones were killed by the Night Angel on the spot before they could even retreat into the shadows, and the darkness spread all over the place.
The blood, like its previous companions, turned into a black mass of unknown solid matter.
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. If not for the Shadow Assassins,
If she can hide in the shadows of people, Natalis herself may be able to lead a few Night Angels to completely eliminate these shadow assassins.
While Natalie and the Night Angels suppressed the Shadow Assassins, the Iron Guard soldiers reacted very quickly. Although they were somewhat unable to help in the battle, they found the help that made the Shadow Assassins most uncomfortable.
The method was to put up the big umbrella that had fallen to the ground again, and use a team of several people to protect the big umbrella, and no longer try to fight back against the shadow assassins. Once someone fell, the remaining people immediately replaced one to catch the big umbrella,
Continuing to maintain their formation, they treated the big umbrella in their hands just like the soldiers carrying the flag on the battlefield. The shadow assassins did not dare to delay under the umbrella. Sometimes they were killed before even killing a single person.
to the attack of the Night Angel.
"Damn, what the hell are these!"
"Is this another dependent of the awakened god?"
"Why does this strong aura of death side with humans?"
Seeing the Night Angels suppressing his subordinates, the black-robed Lord of Shadows lost his calm expression for the first time. His first reaction was that the Night Angels, like the Shadow Assassins in his hands, were the dependents of which god.
, feeling the undead aura on Night Angel, the first thing the black-robed divine envoy thought of was the gods of the death system, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't think of it. At this time, he felt as if he had jumped into some kind of conspiracy for no reason.
My mind went cold, and I always felt that there was a danger approaching me.
But after thinking about it, I shouldn’t. Although the subordinates of the Lord of Shadows are not the strongest in ancient times, their ability to save lives is first-rate. Even if they face some medium-sized gods or do not have control over time and space, they are holy-level shadow angels.
The elves and holy wizards of the Law can also 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 what the other people would do if he went back in despair.
How can I be so sarcastic to myself?
Glancing at the eldest prince who was surrounded by the Iron Guards, the black-robed divine envoy knew very well that there were at least two strong men of the holy rank beside him. They were brought back by the shadow assassins who had escaped from the previous assassination.
information, but the black-robed divine envoy did not back down 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. He has to give it a try no matter what.
.
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.
"finally come."
Richard and Keshid had remained motionless, waiting for the divine envoy to take action. When they saw the last person waiting for him move, Richard and Keshid finally took action at the same time.
"clang!"
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 was extremely agile. According to Richard, this was already an almost Taoist level of swordsmanship.
In the eyes of others, the fight between the two was just a matter of a moment, but the details of the battle between the two were seen by Richard. Although Kexid was stronger, he still fell at a disadvantage.
There is still a gap between the two of them. With the mastery of the rules of shadow, the black-robed 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...
