"action!!!"
Outside Green Lake Town, several figures were secretly hiding in the shadows, constantly peeking at this prosperous and peaceful town.
In and outside the town, in addition to the figures of goblins of different heights, there are also many faces of other races, which is a happy scene. After secretly peeping at the figures for a long time, and confirming that they had understood the patrol and handover rules of the town's defense forces, with the leader's low groan, the five figures slowly faded until they disappeared.
"ah!!!"
Not long after, a shrill scream rang out from the town, followed by the sound of the alarm bell at the top of the mountain square and the horns of the two lookout posts at the north and south corners, almost from the front and back.
The gate of Green Lake Town was closed. The previously peaceful residents quickly returned to their homes and closed their doors. There were also countless adult male goblins who hurriedly put on armor and carried weapons to find the nearest teammates to join. In a short time Here, the sound of Jin Ge has already risen in the town.
"what's the situation??"
Shi Sheng has long since lost his youthfulness. The middle-aged goblin's face is slightly condensed, and his deep questioning voice reveals a strong commanding aura.
"Several assassins appeared in the town. The Mali leader was assassinated and three tribesmen died."
"Now we are asking door to door to see if any members of the tribe are injured."
With the growth and development of the tribe, the Green Field tribe's behavior has become more and more impressive. Although the incident happened in a hurry, the professional defense forces in the town still responded quickly and quickly grasped the general situation. .
"assassin?"
Shi Sheng frowned and kept thinking about how to break the situation. After a short period of silence, when he looked up again, he already had a decision in his deep eyes.
"Pay attention to protecting the public treasury and important strongholds in the town, and lead a team of people to protect the clan leader's partner!!"
"Send someone to ask the spell casters from the Oakleaf Church to help us detect the assassins in the town. In addition, send someone to rule with Master Eric and the others."
"yes!"
The fully armed bugbear warriors led a group of people and rushed out. There was also no flaw in Shi Sheng's office room. Several shield warriors holding heavy shields were guarding Shi Sheng attentively to protect his safety.
Not long after, a gap slowly opened in the town's gate, and then a group of Oak Church clergy members dressed in priestly attire, together with several other humans, walked into the chilling town and headed straight to the top of the mountain.
Natural spells condensed in the sky in the town, and wisps of magical raindrops slowly filled the entire town. On the ground, snake-eel-like protrusions shuttled back and forth, bypassing the location of the goblins in the town. places, looking for their prey.
"found it!!"
A priest who was calmly sensing the magic feedback shouted loudly. At the same time, in a remote place in the northeast corner, several vines suddenly emerged from the ground and twined directly towards a dark corner that seemed empty. go.
Poof! !
Two rays of light flashed, and the vines broke. However, because of this attack, the assassin hiding in the shadow plane was also forced to appear. Just as he was about to pull away and leave, the one closest to him was The team of goblin warriors rushed forward with vigorous steps, chasing each other's figure, and the sounds of gold and metal clashing floated in the town.
At the top of the mountain, Shi Sheng came out under the protection of a team of guard soldiers. He looked down from top to bottom at the shouts of fighting that rose from time to time in the town, his eyes burning with concern and remaining calm. Next to him, Eric, a human warrior wearing gray-brown mail armor, had his hands behind his back and a long sword hanging on his waist. He stood opposite Shi Sheng, also paying attention to what was going on down the mountain.
This kind of small scene does not require Eric to intervene. After all, there is no human being who knows the power of the Green Field Tribe better than Eric, who now lives in Green Lake Town. However, it was also because he settled in the town and his constantly improving ideas were spreading among the tens of thousands of goblins in the town. Therefore, after Shi Sheng sent someone to communicate with him, Eric could no longer stay out of the drama and watch the show. Several human companions entered the town and made a gesture of advancing and retreating together with the goblins.
"kindness??"
Suddenly, there seemed to be something in the field that Eric spread out. Without a sound, one of his right hands was already attached to the hilt of the sword at his waist. As the invisible thing got closer and closer to their location, until After entering his attack range, Eric's long sword turned into lightning and struck a certain space behind him.
Ding! !
The long sword stopped suddenly in mid-air, and a figure wearing a strange mask appeared only 4-5 meters away from Shi Sheng. Just as the opponent's figure was revealed, the two scrolls followed the opponent's movements and fell towards Shi Sheng's position. A strong magical aura rose, and two powerful magics were slowly taking shape.
The shield warriors guarding Shi Sheng raised their heavy shields one after another, trying to completely protect Shi Sheng. However, the speed of the magic above their heads was far faster than their movements, and it would cause some trouble for Shi Sheng.
"snort!!"
Eric, who discovered the assassin's traces in advance, had eyes full of fighting spirit. He snorted after seeing this, and a gray-brown halo rose under his feet. As the halo expanded, the two magic beams above Shi Sheng's head were about to fall. , slowly dissipated in front of everyone's eyes, until the two discarded scrolls fell to the ground, as if nothing had happened.
"...Legendary Realm?"
The assassin's eyes were solemn, and his voice sounded somewhat metallic, full of surprise. Didn't it mean that there was only one legend in the Green Field Tribe? So what's going on with the human in front of me?
The assassin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his figure was directly turned into a vapor in the sweep of Eric's lightning-fast sword. Eric suddenly lost track of the opponent. Alec, who sensed something was wrong, immediately used his field perception to the extreme, and soon noticed traces of the other party's existence.
"Mayor Shi Sheng, watch your back!!"
Eric was a little far away from the forward thrust. After sensing the enemy's position, he had no time to return to defense. He could only send out a warning signal to remind the assassin's target to be careful.
Shi Sheng had actually been on guard for a long time. Although he had given up on breaking through in the war profession many years ago because he had to manage Green Lake Town, he was still considered an outstanding warrior in the clan in his early years, and he is now also a level 13 mad fighter. high-level warrior. At the same time as Eric shouted, Shi Sheng activated the Fury skill without hesitation, and slashed horizontally with a backhand with a heavy sword. In conjunction with the movements of his fellow shield warriors, he used offense instead of defense, directly engaging the assassin in front of him. Crash together.
A strong wind blew up in the square. Under the assassin's pair of scimitars, Shi Sheng and the two shield warriors turned into rolling stones that rolled continuously on the open ground of the square, stirring up a lot of dust. When they stood up again, the ghostly figure of their opponent was already less than a foot away from Shi Sheng. The two rays of light staggered like scissors and stabbed Shi Sheng's neck, with a fierce aura that wanted to cut off Shi Sheng's head.
Boom!
clang!
Shi Sheng's body that had just stood firm flew out again. The person who took his place was a hobgoblin warrior who used shield support skills. He raised the shield with both hands and intercepted the two scimitars.
Click! !
puff! !
The shield warrior's arms twisted and fell, and the shield could no longer be controlled and fell to the ground. The scimitar flashed along the flaw left by the opponent, bringing up streaks of blood. At the same time, he pounced again not far away. Stone is born.
"damn it!!"
Eric arrived belatedly, and his vigorous figure danced a long sword into a shining sword flower, covering the assassin's body.
In the distance, countless warriors of the Green Field Tribe also noticed the battle on the top of the mountain. Countless pairs of heavy footsteps climbed up, and there were several spellcasters whose hands shone with brilliance, and brilliant magics flew in the air.
The assassin slashed with his right hand, blocking Eric's sword. Although he was in battle, his eyes were not only focused on the opponent in front of him. When he found that Shi Sheng was once again surrounded by several shield warriors and Berserker warriors, he was already Knowing that the assassination had failed. With the power of Eric's sword, the opponent's body jumped out of the square, and then moved and changed his body. After dodging several spears and arrows, he quickly ran down the mountain.
"Stop chasing!!"
The current commander of the defense force, Kerry, a high-level peak mad fighter, stopped the chasing actions of the surrounding soldiers with one move.
After a brief exchange, everyone has realized that the assassin on the top of the mountain is at least legendary and is obviously not something that just one or two of their teams can deal with. Therefore, the pursuit is in vain, and being able to repel him is enough. Of course, there are several figures chasing behind the opponent. In addition to the human Eric, there are also Bush and Shusheng, several warriors who also have high-level peak strength. It is enough for them to chase and kill.
"Is everything okay?"
Kerry turned around and asked concernedly about Shi Sheng, who looked a little embarrassed.
Shi Sheng patted the dust on his body and gave Kerry a dry smile. It was really difficult to face the sword of a legendary assassin directly. If it weren't for two companions who helped him share most of the power, he would probably be at this moment. Half a life is going to be lost.
"It's okay. Have the assassins in the town been caught?"
"Don't worry, Gou Sheng, Jay and the others are responsible for arresting and killing them. There won't be any problems."
Kerry nodded slightly, and then solemnly warned: "The powerful assassin before was targeting you. I will arrange more guards to protect you in the next time. You should also be careful."
"Try not to leave your office area. If something really happens, send someone to call the person in charge to deal with it..."
"Yeah, I know."
Although Shi Sheng didn't like being guarded all the time, he also knew that now was not the time to argue about this, so he nodded solemnly and agreed to Kerry's arrangement.
Eric and others who went to chase the fleeing assassin came back soon. Just by looking at their expressions, Kerry and Shi Sheng roughly guessed that the powerful assassin might have escaped. Bush and Shusheng looked indignantly, and looked at Shi Sheng with a bit of worry. Everyone had become accustomed to Shi Sheng's leadership over the years, but they didn't want him to die in front of them.
"Do you need to send someone to report to the clan leader?"
Tom, the wise man of the clan, did not show up during the battle. Instead, he hid in the thick and solid stone building of his house, carefully guarding against assassination. He knew very well that with his current strength, which was only a 12th-level mid-level warrior, going out to fight would not be of much use. As long as he did not cause trouble to others, it would be good enough. His strength had never been fighting anyway.
"Looking at the strength of this assassin, I'm afraid he is the guy who assassinated the clan leader in the quarry a few days ago."
"No need, the other party failed in the assassination this time. After testing out the reality of our town, they probably won't do it again."
Shi Sheng looked at the human legend Eric who was communicating with several other humans. He thought for a moment and then replied.
Eric had already found his legendary path thirty years ago, and was quietly promoted to the legendary level sixteen years ago. However, because the surrounding major forces focused their attention on Allen's tribe, and Ai Rick himself is outside the Green Field Tribe. Apart from spreading his own ideas, he rarely gets involved in the affairs of Green Lake Town. His low-key life and few opportunities to show his strength also prevent others from noticing his abilities.
This is also the reason why after Allen was attacked before, except for spreading the news to the town through Linus in the quarry, he did not rush back to the clan. With Eric in charge, assisted by clergy members of the Oak Church, and with the tribe's powerful army and elite warriors, even with Allen's current strength, he would not dare to challenge the Greenfield tribe without him in charge.
Since Eric lives in the Green Field Tribe and preaches among the goblins, in return, he shoulders the task of protecting the Green Field Tribe from outsiders. In this regard, when Allen came to him and asked him about this request after Eric was promoted to legend, Eric agreed without any hesitation.
Not long after the sudden attack, life in Green Lake Town returned to peace. Nowadays, more and more foreign people are coming and going in Green Lake Town. With the spread of the reputation of the Green Field tribe's food, countless gourmets are enamored with the food. People came to make pilgrimages one after another, which also brought many business opportunities to Green Lake Town.
More than half a month later, in the third floor of the Mansha City Assassin's Guild, a figure came to learn about the progress of the task. After hearing the administrator's few words of feedback, he exclaimed in surprise: "What did you say? ?And a legend?"
"This is impossible!!!"
Regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, after the manager stated the facts, he shut his mouth and allowed the other party to show his gaffe in the somewhat empty underground space, attracting the prying eyes of several members.
As if knowing that he had lost his temper, the figure immediately closed his mouth, then leaned close to the administrator's ear and said softly: "I want to withdraw the posted task."
"Okay, will the fee be deducted from the task reward you gave me before, or will it be paid separately?"
The administrator spread his hands indifferently, picked up a register, and began to handle the task withdrawal.
"Deduct it from your pay."
The masked man said impatiently with some anxiety in his eyes.
Half a day later, a figure on horseback rushed out of the north gate of Mansha City and disappeared into the long business road.
At this time, Allen was still in the Namur Fortress, compiling information collected from all directions, vowing to find out the person behind his assassination.
Then, more than half a month later, a dwarf caravan entered the Namur Fortress, and Allen welcomed a strange guest late at night.
