Chapter 134 Assassination
Chapter 134 Assassination
Roning had never thought that such an assassination would happen to him.
After all, his territory was located in a remote mountain area, and the killer would take a lot of energy to get there. Not to mention that the mountain had been blocked by heavy snow in the past two days, making it difficult to pass.
How much willpower must the killer have to brave the cold and snow and cross the white mountains and forests to take his life?
Luo Ning didn't know and didn't have time to think about it.
Faced with the ruthless assassination of the man in black, Roning had no time to hesitate. He directly took out the guardian armor spell scroll given to him by Lulans and injected magic power into it.
Buzz~
The khaki armor covered Roning's entire body when the sword attacked. The assassin's sword slashed on the armor, making a harsh metal collision sound, causing the virtual shape of the armor to vibrate violently.
"A fifth-level spell scroll. Haha, the people of Wushan Fort have some capital."
The assassin sneered, "But it won't save your life."
He kicked over.
After Roning uses the spell scroll to block the attack, he finally gets a chance to catch his breath. He was no longer as panicked as he was at the beginning but surprisingly calm.
Facing this kick, he dodged quickly, tapping the ground with his toes and rushing towards the opponent.
After receiving the heartwarming gift package from No. 7 this morning, Roning had already used up all his attribute points.
Not only has his magician level progressed to high perfection, but his knight level has also reached 280/300, making him a high-level peak knight.
His physical fitness, strength, and spirit have been greatly enhanced, and he is not inferior to McCann even if he faces him.
Although they only fought for one or two moves, Roning had already determined that this assassin was very powerful and should be a bronze-level knight.
Two knights were fighting in a small room. Their fighting spirit and swords were flying everywhere, cutting the tables, chairs, and walls. If they continued, the room might not be able to be saved.
Roning's performance has also disrupted the assassin's mood.
"Senior Knight, you are actually a senior knight!"
After continuous fighting, the assassin has figured out Roning's strength level.
He never expected that intelligence was wrong or extremely wrong.
This once useless eldest grandson of the Marquis is not only not useless anymore but has become a high-level knight in the blink of an eye, and his combat level is not low at all.
A seventeen-year-old high-level peak knight, a waste?
What a joke!
"Retreat!"
The black-clad assassin used the recoil force of another sword to retreat rapidly backward. The sword light swept out and broke the wooden window for viewing, and then he jumped down from the window.
Just three floors, no problem at all for the Bronze Knight.
The assassination failed, and the intelligence was wrong. He had completely lost the initiative. If he continued to fight, he would be in trouble when the guard knight arrived.
"Want to leave?"
Luo Ning tapped the ground with his feet and flew out of the window.
But in just two or three seconds, Luo Ning looked around and did not see the other person.
"Invisible again?"
Roning cast the Wind of Detection, and as the wind element's vision changed, he once again caught sight of the opponent's landing - at this time, the assassin was standing against the wall motionlessly.
What was he doing? Was he playing hide-and-seek right under his nose?
Or did he think that "the most dangerous place is the safest place" and that hiding under his nose would keep him from being discovered?
Luo Ning didn't care about that. Before landing, he raised his fist and punched down. The flaming fist whistled away like a bomb and landed accurately at the other party's hiding place.
The black-clad assassin didn't understand how his stealth was discovered. He didn't have time to think and could only dodge quickly.
As he moved quickly, his invisibility was broken.
In a trance, Luo Ning understood that the opponent's invisibility effect should be limited. He could not use his fighting spirit, or his body movements could not be too violent or too fast; otherwise, he would lose his invisibility.
Boom~
The roar caused by the fire fist bombing shook the castle under the night sky, breaking the usually quiet atmosphere.
At this time, the shocked Galen finally reacted. He called out to the master and ran to the window, shouting outside:
"assassin!"
"There's an assassin!"
"Hurry, there's an assassin!"
The panicked shouts alarmed the servants in the inner castle and the guards on the city walls.
"What's going on?"
Chahar, who was arranging the dishes, was stunned for a moment. When he heard the sound clearly, he immediately panicked and ran outside.
At the same time, outside the outer fort hall, Irene, David, and others, who had finished an hour of teaching today, were leaving the "classroom" easily and were all in a very good mood.
The former was because I finally finished today's class, and the latter was because the torturous class was over.
But just as they were talking, laughing, and preparing to go their separate ways, the movement in the inner castle stunned them.
"What's going on?"
The three knights looked at each other, not hearing clearly.
However, the guards on the tower have given a clear answer: the lord has been attacked!
The three dead spirits all emerged, and their faces changed drastically.
"Protect the lord!"
"Protect Lord Ronin!"
They drew their swords and rushed towards the inner castle quickly.
"Brother Luo Ning was assassinated?"
Irene's big eyes were filled with fear and panic, and her face turned pale with fright. She followed David and others to run towards the inner castle.
But suddenly, she realized that it was useless for her to go in, as a junior magician's combat capability was very weak and useless.
"Guard officer!"
She turned around quickly, "Yes, go inform McCann!"
Recently, McKeon personally conducted training for cavalry and guards, which gave David and others an hour in the evening to study.
Perhaps because of nervousness or worry, Irene's feet were a little weak. When she was leaving the castle gate, she fell to the ground with a stumble, and her body and face were covered with mud.
But she didn't care about that at all. She stood up quickly and wanted to inform McCann as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, I had only run less than a hundred meters to the west when I saw McKen riding a horse and galloping towards me.
"Erin, what's going on?"
Mikan asked quickly, "Why is there an explosion in the castle?"
"Assassin, there is an assassin!"
Irene shouted, "Go and save Brother Luo Ning!"
McKen's face changed drastically. How could there be an assassin in the castle?
He had clearly deployed guards at the gates and towers. How on earth did the assassin manage to evade the sight of the guards on the towers and walls and enter the castle unhindered?
"My lord, should I be alright?"
McKen jumped off his horse, his fighting spirit bursting out, and rushed into the castle at the fastest speed.
…
Not to mention the reactions of his servants and subordinates, Roning was already fighting fiercely with the black-clad assassin.
Although he was not as strong as his opponents, the effect of the swordsmanship he learned from Redar and McKen during this period had already been demonstrated.
The current Ronin is like a weakened version of Redar, and the assassin in front of him is like a weakened version of Baron Leisen.
Luo Ning suppressed his opponent with his swordsmanship.
The man in black had several questions, the most incomprehensible of which was how his ability to turn invisible, which had always worked in the past, became useless in front of the baron in front of him.
"I didn't expect that the outside world's evaluation of you was all wrong!"
The black-clad assassin knew that a long fight would be disadvantageous, and suddenly, a black aura rose from his body like a burning flame.
As the man in black moved these flames, they gradually transformed into a long black snake above his sword.
"Embrace of the Serpent!"
As he rushed towards Roning, the black snake on the sword roared and flew into the air, turning into a terrifying monster four or five meters long and one or two meters wide. The monster swallowed Roning in one gulp.
The dark and deep atmosphere enveloped Ronin, and the poisonous snake quickly corroded the protective armor with its strong corrosiveness.
The khaki armor had already experienced several collisions and now quickly dimmed due to erosion.
Luo Ning quickly held up his fighting armor and swung the Liuyan Sword simultaneously, using the third-level fire-attribute fighting skill, Fire Cloud.
With the blessing of the Flowing Flame Sword, the power of the dense fire cloud was amplified, and the scattered fire cloud exploded in all directions like sparks from molten iron, colliding with the dark, venomous snake.
Rumble~
The sound of collision continued, and the storm created by the fighting skills of both sides swept around. The servants and guards who came to help from the outside were frightened and hesitated to move forward. Only three junior knights, David, Wharton, and Dandy, rushed into the battle group.
The black light and the red fire crushed each other. The violent energy tore apart the two people in the battle, and they were shocked to retreat again and again.
Luo Ning only felt his blood boiling and uncomfortable, but he was not injured.
The only pity is that the protective armor has only left a faint shadow under the erosion and impact, which should be dissipated.
On the other hand, the other party seemed to be feeling equally uncomfortable.
"The three of you step back!"
Roning tightly gripped the Liuyan Sword in his hand and ordered David and the other two who wanted to join the battle not to act rashly.
These three were all junior knights and were no match for the assassins. Going up to help would only make things worse, and they might even risk their lives.
"grown-ups!"
David and the other two felt somewhat unwilling.
"Leave this assassin to me."
Luo Ning stared at the other person. He would not let go easily of the person who almost took his life.
With his fingers outlining the spell patterns, Roning cast on himself the "speed" magic he learned from the Storm Wolf's magic core.
He pushed off the ground with both feet, and his whole body turned into a stream of red light.
The assassin was shocked by this scene, "What's going on? Why is his speed getting faster?"
