After inspecting the dockyard, Owen prepared to return to the castle."
Lord Marquis, please go slowly."
Viru came to see him off."
Hmm."
Owen nodded, "Viru, this dock is very important, please make sure to build it with quality and quantity." ”"I understand, as the Minister of Construction, I guarantee that the construction will definitely be completed on schedule."
Viru swore by it.Not long after, Owen left with the guards.On the way, Marpel asked curiously: "Lord Owen, why is it enough to build a cement ship with a big shed, but to build a steel battleship, you have to dig such a big pit on the shore?"
”"Because the ship is different......"
Before Owen finished speaking, Angelica behind him suddenly stepped forward and raised her hand to stop everyone, with a vigilant face and a sharp gaze that scanned the surroundings."
It seems that the Assassins are finally going to run out of patience."
Assassin?!
It's the killer sent by White!
Owen reacted immediately and said alertly: "Everyone, pay attention, prepare to fight." ”At the same time, he himself drove the magic power in his body, condensed a fireball in his hand, and constantly compressed and became smaller.Hearing this, Mapel immediately pulled out the magic sword at his waist and guarded the surroundings with a solemn expression.In addition, there were four guards who took the muskets from their backs and held them in their hands, facing forward, ready to shoot at any time.Angelica then drew her sword and held it in front of her.On this outing, Owen brought a total of six guards.That's a lot, it's impossible to take all the guards out of the castle, right?
Walking around the town with a group of people is too ostentatious.In the past, Owen would have taken Marpel out alone.Speaking of which, it's still daylight, and it's a bit surprising that the enemy didn't choose to wait for an opportunity at night.But on second thought, Owen must have stayed in the castle at night, and the castle has been heavily guarded recently, and it is indeed not easy to find an opportunity to kill him.On the contrary, when he went out and left the castle, it was the weakest moment for the defense force around him.Moreover, the object of Owen's expedition, the dock, was built on the bank of the river north of the border town.On the way back to the castle, there were no people around, and it took a lot of time for rescue to arrive, which was the best chance to act."
Tsk!"
Seeing Owen and his party preparing to meet the enemy, the enemy leader smacked his mouth, as if he was upset that Angelica had noticed it in advance.In this way, the original plan for a surprise attack had little effect, and the success rate of the assassination was greatly reduced."
Do it!
Kill Owen Eisen!
”The leader of the enemy decisively ordered.It seemed that she was still a woman, and she was clearly unwilling to give up this great opportunity to get her hands dirty.If you choose to retreat at this time, then I don't know if you can find such a good opportunity next time.Moreover, the other party already knew that there were assassins lurking in the town, and once the search intensified, their range of movement was even more limited.At the sound of an order, more than a dozen black-clad and masked assassins quickly burst out of the nearby bunkers.No matter what it is, they still have a certain advantage in numbers.I have to say that the enemy is really powerful, and there are so many people who can sneak into the border town quietly.You must know that in addition to strengthening the castle's guards, Viscount Jarvis has also increased the number of patrols in the town, but he has not found any suspicious characters.Immediately afterward, the dozen or so assassins swung their short blades and charged at Owen at the same time.Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Seeing this, the four guards hurriedly opened fire, without making any aiming movements, the enemy was not far away, and they only needed to shoot roughly in the direction they were attacking.Three of the Assassins fell in response, firing four shots that hit three of them, which was okay in such an emergency.Immediately after, Owen threw a highly-compressed burst of flame above his head.Bang - the explosion exploded violently in the air, and the flames inside spread out extremely quickly in all directions, forming a bright and brilliant flame flower, like fireworks.This is a distress signal to the outside world.Previously, when Owen discussed with everyone to deal with the assassination, he had agreed that if he was attacked outside the castle, he would shoot a burst of fire into the air as soon as possible.Even during the day, the flame is still visible to the naked eye within the town.Next, it's time to wait for rescue.The enemy also knew that time was running out, and continued to rush over and attack Owen.As soon as the shots were fired, the guards drew their bayonets, stuck them on the muzzle, and the next step was to engage the assassins in hand-to-hand combat.No way, the enemy is too close, and it is too late to reload at this time, and they can easily rush to the front of the killer before firing the next shot.While Marpel blocked the Assassins in front of her, Angelica fought the Assassins in the rear, with two armed guards on the left and right cooperating with each other, with Owen in the middle.With a whispering spell, Owen then cast a fire shield with another layer of protection, and a flame shield swirled around him.Just then, the leader of the enemy appeared, a purple-haired woman wearing a mask, the Night Ghost.She had ordered her men to attack in order to drain the bullets from the Guard's musket and then draw into melee combat.Now that there is no threat of muskets, Nightshade dares to show up unscrupulously.It seems that she must have spent some time in the Frontier Town, gathered a lot of useful information, and knew that the musket was very powerful in long-range attacks, and she had to avoid its edge.Boom!
Boom!
The battle between the four guards and the Assassins quickly fell to a disadvantage, and although they had a bayonet fight in their usual training, they were rarely used in actual combat, and their bayonet swinging movements were easily recognized.The other party is an assassin with a lot of actual combat experience, and he is very skilled, so it is understandable that the guards are not defeated by them.Seeing this, Owen had to use fireballs to assist the guards on both sides to relieve their combat pressure.Even so, one of the guards was scratched on the arm by the enemy, but fortunately, it had little impact on the battle and was still able to hold out for a while.The Assassins who were fighting with Marpel and Angelica learned that their opponents were strong, and immediately changed their battle plans, no longer rushing to assassinate Owen, but trying to entangle the two men as much as possible.Retreat with one blow, dodge one after another, never desperately, take turns to attack, and consume the opponent's physical strength.When the Night Ghost appeared, he did not attack immediately, but chanted a spell in a low voice on the spot.Soon, her figure fluctuated unusually, and quickly dimmed, and finally flickered, and the whole person disappeared.Hey?
What about people?
Owen, Marpel, and Angelica were taken aback.Since this person was the leader of the group of assassins, the three of Owen had been paying extra attention to prevent her from making any small moves while fighting.Unexpectedly, the night ghost disappeared directly out of thin air in front of everyone's eyes, which was too incredible.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
