A week has passed, and the imperial troops have completely assembled on the borders of the northern and southern empires. They have repelled several sporadic zombie attacks, but no one has become optimistic because of this. Because everyone knows that this is just the beginning.
On the other side, Regnar's assassination team also began to move southward non-stop. Although the two mages in the team were both the strongest men standing at the top of the continent, for the sake of safety, they did not frequently use teleportation to speed up their pace. First, they need to conserve their physical strength. After all, they have no way to determine Nidhogg's location. Although he is very likely to stay in the thousand-year-old capital, if there is any chance that they suddenly encounter Nidhogg in the wild, then Two mages with empty magic power are a complete burden. On the other hand, they also need to ensure the secrecy of this trip. Once a few people are teleported into the sea of corpses and attract Nidhogg's attention, all their efforts will be in vain.
Although the situation on the entire continent is already quite pessimistic at this time, Regner and others understand that they must remain patient, even if tens of thousands of people lose their lives every day in the wave of death.
At night, Regnar and the others set up a simple camp and began to rest. In the past few days, they were on the road during the day and camped out to rest at night under the cover of the mage's darkness. And every night, Mel would tell them some information about Nidhogg that he knew. All of them knew that the more they knew about the enemy, the more successful the assassination would be.
"That's it, the information I know about Nidhogg has been completely told." Mel ended today and the last day's story. He emphasized again at the end: "You all must remember that what I am telling you about Nidhogg was more than 20 years ago. No one knows how he got here in the past 20 years and what will happen next." Such changes. Therefore, don’t take everything I say as an established fact. When you really face him, you need to make your own judgment."
"But the problem now is that we have no way to determine his location." Regnar lay on his back on a piece of animal skin and thought, "The next thing is still very difficult."
"We can't even determine the location of the assassination target. This is the first time I've seen a high-level assassin commit such a reckless assassination. Are you really so desperate for Miss Annelotte?" A charming female voice suddenly sounded.
Annelotte's low-temperature field instantly enveloped the nearby space, but what surprised her was that except for the body temperatures of a few people in the camp, there were no other spaces with abnormal temperatures in the entire space.
Except for Annelotte, everyone else in the camp also responded quickly. Lisanna drew out the blast and swift shadow, and the three brothers Zhushen, Zhuxin, and Zhuhun immediately disappeared. As for Mel, although he didn't make any big moves, he also narrowed his eyes, and everyone present could feel that the magic factor around him had begun to stir, emitting a faint blue light.
In the scene, the only person who remained motionless was Regnar. In fact, it was not that he was completely silent. It was just that after the initial shock, this guy suddenly had an expression similar to unlucky and helpless expression on his face. Because he already knew who the speaker was.
"Why are you here?" Regnar asked helplessly, and he added: "Come out, and I'm warning you that if you make any unexplained action, you will probably be shot dead by these people on the spot."
No. 1 walked out of the shadows slowly with a smile on her face. She raised her hands to show that she had no ill intentions.
"Long time no see, Regnar." Number One greeted Regnar warmly like an old friend reunited after a long absence.
"Answer my question." Regnar sat up and raised his voice impatiently. Although he still has an inexplicable trust in No. 1, it is obvious that this trust will not be transmitted to others. At least Regnar could clearly feel that when this beautiful and enchanting female assassin appeared, the surrounding air temperature seemed to have dropped a little...
"It's so heartless. I have been waiting for you here. Already..." A look of grievance suddenly appeared on No. 1's pretty face.
"Stop, stop, shut up first..." Regnar jumped up, realizing that if he didn't stop No. 1 from speaking, the scene would probably develop in a very strange direction.
"Huh!" No. 1 glared at Regnar dissatisfied.
Although it was unknown what the hidden expressions of the three Assassin brothers were at this moment, at least Annelotte, Lisanna and Mel who were present looked at him with strange expressions. Regnar coughed awkwardly and said: "Hmm! Let me explain in advance that after I reveal the identity of this woman, I hope everyone will not be impulsive. She... she is an assassin from the Stoke Empire, uh... the top That one is number one..."
The dull blade stretched out quietly from the shadows. The three assassin brothers obviously ignored Regner's statement. They took action as soon as Regner revealed his identity.
Number 1 seemed to be undecided about this. She yawned lazily. When the blade pierced her body, her body had turned into a phantom. Immediately afterwards, there were several slight sounds of swords clashing in the shadows, and then several neat cuts suddenly appeared in the small tent behind Regnar, turning it into a pile of rags.
The figures of the four men then appeared. Mel looked and saw that the muscles of the three assassin brothers were tense, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Number 1 on the other side was holding an almost transparent dagger, and his entire body was still relaxed and coordinated. Obviously, in the previous confrontation, the three assassin brothers who had devoted their efforts and carefully cultivated by the Hawke Empire were still at a disadvantage.
Lisanna was the fifth one to join the battle. The young swordsman suddenly raised her two swords, and the extremely sharp sword intent blocked the space where No. 1 was located almost instantly. The figure of No. 1 blurred again. She seemed to have turned into a shadow that could be transformed at will and slipped out of the gap in Lisanna's sword. Then No. 1 suddenly appeared behind Lisanna on the left.
"Is this..." Seeing No. 1's behavior, even Regnar couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
Lisanna was almost unaware of No. 1 on the left. She just suddenly felt a chill coming from her right waist. Lisanna almost subconsciously turned right to prepare for defense. Number 1, who was standing behind Lisanna, smiled slightly. She stretched out her neck and blew gently on the back of Lisanna's neck. Lisanna felt a numbness on the back of her neck. Just when she was about to turn around again, the cold metallic feeling on her throat made her stop. She knew that she had been restrained.
Although the prince and concubine had become a prisoner in the hands of the enemy, the three assassin brothers did not stop at all. The three of them surrounded No. 1 from the left, right and back in a tacit understanding, and then three daggers stabbed No. 1 from different directions.
"Stop!" Regnar shouted quickly.
However, the three assassin brothers were unaware of this. Their daggers did not stop and were only a few centimeters away from No. 1.
Hearing Regnar's slightly nervous shout, No. 1 showed a happy expression. She softly recited a syllable from her mouth, and then her body instantly lit up with a golden light as strong as the scorching sun. The sun shines, this is the magic of Priest Pelor.
"snort… "
The three assassin brothers were blinded by the sudden bright light. They groaned and stopped attacking. In addition to the three of them, Regnar and the others who had been watching them also had sore eyes, but they obviously retained their visual abilities. Regnar rushed over. He first snatched Lisanna from No. 1, and then disarmed the three assassin brothers who disobeyed orders one by one.
"That's enough! God Killing, Heart Killing, Soul Killing, if you three don't obey my orders anymore, get out of here!" Regnar said angrily.
"Yes... I'm sorry..." Lisanna also apologized weakly. She knew that she was too impulsive just now. But she really hates No. 1 because she once heard Alexander say that this No. 1 almost assassinated her.
The expressions on the masked faces of the three assassin brothers could not be seen, but they still knelt down on one knee very neatly to indicate their submission.
"Hee hee!" No. 1 laughed happily like a little woman who saw a man supporting her. She wanted to rush forward and hug Regna's arm, but under Regna's eyes full of threats and warnings, she laughed happily. Still chose to give up.
Annelotte watched the performances of these people, especially the eye contact between the last one and Regnar, and couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, and the surrounding air once again dropped a few degrees.
"Tell me, what are you going to do? Don't talk nonsense to me!" Regnar breathed in the cold air and asked angrily.
"Isn't it obvious?" No. 1 pouted: "I'm here to stop you from assassinating Nidhogg."
