On the grounds that they were both members of the First Magic Brigade, he followed several magicians as an excuse and deliberately kept one step behind everyone. When the people who were talking at the front stepped onto the stairs in front of the mathematics building, they suddenly gathered together. The people in the front row spread out several layers of shields, and a magical light suddenly appeared.
The people in the back row began to chant, and the magic power focused on the people chanting the spell in an extremely violent manner. Even without careful screening, you can understand that these are powerful magics, and they seem to be completed faster than expected. One of them is providing auxiliary magic for other companions. All movements flow like clouds and flowing water, and are skillfully coordinated, which shows the solid training and good tacit understanding.
This is the standard team tactic used by the First Magic Brigade when encountering an encounter. The emphasis is on breaking the shield first and killing a few opponents first, so as to gain the upper hand.
With Master Midi's protective magic and physical strength, the quick and harassing little magic is like reminding the other party that I am looking for trouble. The first strike usually doesn't have much effect. Not only is the time of the first strike wasted, it also alerts the opponent and gives the opponent a chance to prepare a counterattack.
Unless the opponent can be controlled in one breath, breaking the shield with the first blow and causing direct damage to the opponent will be more effective than simple harassment. Because the latter still has to hope that the opponent will panic, but a truly experienced magician cannot have that kind of emotion!
However, such a large formation is actually just a feint attack. The real killer is quietly attacking from the blind spot!
This is a premeditated action, and the target is the enemy of the empire, Guybrash Tripwood!
Most of the official magicians who were not involved in the attack were from the First Magic Brigade, or were active members. They knew the pros and cons of this tactic very well. But at the moment, they didn't have time to think about the reasons behind it. They all subconsciously put on one or two layers of shields for themselves, and spent more energy preparing to counterattack. This is not a response of intimidation and protection, but a bloody battle.
There is nothing wrong with using tactics in encounters to allow for very quick responses, but when used at this time, this set of tactics will definitely not be the main attack, and there will be another trump card behind it. The great magicians Kabamba and Bijan, as well as the angry Dharma Saint Babak Abunahan, and his friend Attila were immediately distracted to find this hidden killer. As for the target, they also want to know who it is.
An attack on stairs is a bet that the target's movement is not as convenient as on flat ground. So the best direction of attack is from the front. If the target retreats randomly, it may stumble and become an opportunity in the hands of others. And to attack head-on, it’s earth magic!
The magicians who made judgments almost intuitively lowered their heads and paid attention to the changes in the mounds of earth and masonry. Abnormal bulges and cracks revealed the killer's whereabouts. When he broke through the mound and stabbed out, what was waiting for him was the angry punch of the Dharma Saint!
The First Magic Brigade is an army affiliated with the Gwana Empire. Even a Dharma Saint is just employed by this legion and does not have much power. For example, make the entire brigade like an iron barrel, eliminate dissidents, and gather close friends. If we really do this, how much fighting power will this team have left?
It is the continuous recruitment of powerful magicians that has made this team famous. And strong people will not obey others easily. Even if they are restrained by military orders, it is extremely difficult for them to be completely convinced.
It is definitely not an easy task to lead a group of such unruly people. Even the Dharma Saint Babak Abu Nahan could enforce orders and prohibitions in battle, but he could not make his own will the will of others. Therefore, he knew that there were some people in the team who had different thoughts from him, and he had no intention of changing them.
But what he didn't expect was that someone would dare to deal with someone he admired under his nose. Therefore, the punch thrown by Dharma Saint Babak Abunahan was very heavy, blessed with the weight of countless magics.
Even so, it failed to stop the assassin's actions. The opponent seems to have figured out his habits long ago. The shield attribute of the protection is targeted to resist the magic attached to the fist, minimizing the damage. This wave of momentum was only slightly deflected, but the Dharma Saint was still unable to stop the assassination.
Regarding this result, Babak Abunahan said he was surprised, but not surprised either. He didn't even need to see the person's appearance clearly. He knew who the other person was just by relying on this skill. That was the scout of the vanguard squad in the first brigade.
A person who is proficient in various concealment and stealth magic is more like an assassin than a magician, and a powerful assassin. The kind that often brings back the heads of enemy chiefs during reconnaissance. Even so, this time he also missed the target, and the reason was because the target had disappeared from its original position.
The stream of white flames flashing through the corner of his eyes instantly attracted everyone's attention, and seven or eight big heads flew into the sky. The condensation is completed, but the magic will not be released if it loses its purpose. The moment the caster lost his head, the magic power went out of control and caused a disorderly riot. It took various shapes and exploded outward, blasting several people in the center of the storm to pieces.
Faced with this unprecedented situation, the magician who came to assassinate followed the principle of missing a single hit and escaping thousands of miles away, and burrowed into the ground again and ran away quickly. This magic, which is similar to shadow sneaking, allows the caster to shuttle between semi-reality and semi-illusion at incredible speeds.
But before he could think of the next thought, a long sword that traveled through countless dimensions pierced his head! With another twitch, the whole person was pulled back to reality like a big flag, flying over the sky. Then there were the cut heads, sprinkling all kinds of red and white. But neither the white brain nor the blood could splash on the man. Lewen
Just when everyone was looking for the missing man again, a long sword leaking white flames penetrated from the chest of the Dharma Saint!
As if his physical strength was drained instantly, Babak Abunahan fell to his knees.
The man holding the hilt of the sword stood behind the Dharma Saint, with an uncertain expression, not knowing whether to kill or not. The atmosphere at the scene was tense. They had not taken action in the first place. None of the magicians affiliated with the First Magic Brigade were sure of saving their captain's life from the sword. Even they themselves seemed to be stared at by unknown entities and did not dare to act rashly.
"Hey, before you do anything, I think I have something to tell you first."
A voice that came from nowhere seemed to be the only opportunity to break the situation. Everyone looked at the source of the sound in disbelief. It sounded like the sound came from the sword inserted in Babak Abunahan's chest. It continued:
"He didn't know anything about this assassination. But it doesn't make sense to say he didn't know anything at all. After all, before he went out, he was cared for by so many nobles, and everyone just told them. But for this action, he really knew nothing about it. I don’t know, he didn’t make any relevant plans, it’s probably the group of people who died who acted without permission.”
"That's it." Lin said coldly.
"It wouldn't be helpful to anyone here if I lied here or concealed key information."
After thinking seriously for a while, Lin used the flash technique to recover the box cutter to avoid secondary damage from the sword. When he realized that the sword stuck in his chest suddenly disappeared, Babak Abunahan was slightly stunned. Just listen to the sword master say: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't understand the situation, so I attacked you without authorization. Fortunately, it's not serious."
Everyone who heard this could only feel embarrassed. A sword has been inserted into someone's body, so it's not a big deal? But compared to others who didn't even have a whole body, I was lucky to have saved a small life. Even the person who received the sword, Dharma Saint Babak Abunahan, did not speak to refute.
But things are not over yet. Before Abu Nahan could figure out the situation, Haggiri, who was being stared at by someone, continued: "Compared to the old man who was stabbed by you, if you want to find the accomplices of those dead people, you should go to the one next to him. A magician who stayed away from the battle, wore a black robe, and had his hair grown like a watermelon rind. This was the one the old man recognized as the same person as the group of people who died. It’s just that he didn’t take action this time for some unknown reason.”
As soon as Haggiri opened his mouth, everyone looked at the magician it described. Because the characteristics are obvious, no one can mistake it. Realizing that he had become the target of everyone, the black-robed magician turned around and ran away in panic.
Holding Hakakiri's hand tightly and staring at the back of the fleeing man, Lin was still thinking about whether to pursue him or not. At this time, the Dharma Saint, who stood up with the help of his friend Attila, said: "Your Excellency Tripwood , seeing that I was stabbed in vain by you, let him go."
Lin turned back and stared at the pale-faced Dharma Saint Babak Abunahan. The latter made an ugly smile and said: "Although I am not responsible for any of their actions during the mission, he is still a soldier under me. And if he really knows something, I also want to know."
After saying that, Abu Nahan ordered his subordinates who were closer to him and said: "Go and take that coward back to the hotel. If he becomes a deserter, we will have to work hard to find him out, and the result will not be easier. "
After the explanation, several people chased in the direction of the escapee.
To outsiders, Dharma Saint Babak Abunahan's decision seemed like he had magnanimously sacrificed his own harm in exchange for the life of a subordinate, which could be regarded as clearing up the matter.
In fact, only I know that the real plan is that he didn't want to be forced by outside public opinion to become an enemy of the magician because of this sword, so he found a way out. Of course, he also wants to know who is behind it, but this is just a matter of course.
Understanding that the matter in front of him has come to an end, Lin lowered his head and apologized to everyone, saying: "Sorry, I still have to test the printing press and prepare the journal. I can't entertain you. Mr. Abu Nahan, can you continue to read? How does my press run?”
"No. Although my injury feels like it has stopped bleeding, I still need to find someone to treat it. I will come back to take care of your business when the mathematics journals are officially sold." After saying this, he nodded to help his friend and lead him. Leave by yourself.
