Chapter 346: Assassination Failed and Successfully Infiltrated

Chapter 346: Assassination Failed and Successfully Infiltrated

The battle had just begun. However, dozens of Dark Elves had already died under the Thunder Elf’s arrows.

Although the remaining Dark Elves were still preparing to face the enemy, their movements had clearly slowed down. It was obvious that they were afraid of the fierce assassin in front of them.

After seeing this, Avril who was hiding on the rock, could not help but say, “Looks like we don’t even need to make a move. That Thunder Elf’s strength is enough to deal with these Dark Elves!”

Vincent shook his head and said, “It’s not that simple!”

Angelina asked curiously, “Why do you say that?”

Vincent pointed at the three youths who had gotten onto their monsters and said, “Look at the three of them. They clearly know that they are the targets of the assassination. They were also very timid earlier. However, they are not panicking now. Instead, they are still watching the show with great interest. It is obvious that they have nothing to fear!”

Avril and Angelina could not help but sigh, “Could it be that there are more powerful Dark Elves protecting them in the dark?”

Vincent added in a low voice, “Or perhaps, the more powerful Dark Elves are among the guards!”

Angelina and Avril looked back and forth at the remaining Dark Elves. In the end, they all looked at the leader of the guards who was organizing the attack.

It seemed that he was the only one who looked like an expert!

However, the scene aroused their curiosity. There were clearly experts among the Dark Elves. Why did they not arrange for the experts to fight the Thunder Elf from the beginning? Why did they want so many elves to die?

Vincent frowned slightly. He felt as if he had missed something. He then turned his head to look at the Thunder Elf.

The elf girl was obviously very experienced in battle. From the moment she appeared, she had been very skilled in her sense of direction and positioning during the battle. However, she maintained the same distance from the three noble youths.

In other words, as an assassin, this Thunder Elf had yet to make any progress!

However, she clearly had the ability to close in on the three youths, yet she did not do so. The mystery behind this was worth pondering.

The leader of the guards probably had the same thought. An assassin whose whereabouts had been exposed was not considered dangerous. However, the reason behind the strange actions of the assassin was most likely the true danger!

The battle continued. The forest space between the three noble youths and the Thunder Elf was covered with corpses.

It could be said that the more the Thunder Elf fought, the braver she became. She drew her bow quicker each time. More and more elves died under her arrows. Unfortunately, when the girl reached for her quiver again, she found that it was empty. This meant that her long-range attacks had completely lost their effectiveness.

The leader of the guards was waiting for this moment. When he noticed that the arrows had stopped, he knew that the assassin had run out of ammunition. He then ordered, “She is out of arrows now. Five teams, charge together. We must capture her alive!”

“Yes!”

The Dark Elves followed the order and battle sequence that had been arranged. 50 Dark Elves walked out of the formation and quickly surrounded the elf girl in all three directions.

At this time, there were only 20 guards left by the side of the three noble youths!

Vincent could not help but sigh in realization, “What a good opportunity!”

Avril and Angelina could not help but turn their heads and ask, “What good opportunity?”

Vincent looked down and said, “The defensive strength of the three noble youths has reached its weakest state. If a real assassin were to take action now, they might really be able to succeed in one strike!”

Angelina and Avril were stunned when they heard that. They muttered and sighed, “A real assassin? Could it be that the girl was just feigning an attack? Her real goal was to consume and attract more Dark Elves to create an opportunity for her companions!”

Vincent nodded and said, “That’s right! Isn’t that the most common decapitation tactic that we use? But if that’s the case, Ebenezer will be in a very dangerous position!”

Avril and Angelina looked at Ebenezer’s previous position and discovered that the shadows of the three youths had already fallen behind them. The guards who were guarding the back seemed to be worried that the monsters would suddenly go berserk so they maintained a distance from the rear limbs of the monsters. This coincidentally gave Ebenezer sufficient space to hide from them. At the same time, it also gave the assassins a good opportunity to cut in.

If an assassin attacked from behind, he would definitely barge in on Ebenezer.

If the guard leader detects the attack in time and blocks the assassin, then the aftershocks of the battle would affect Ebenezer as well!

No one knew how strong the guard leader was at that moment. If his level was on par with Ebenezer, then it would be fine. However, if his strength was much higher than Ebenezer’s, then Ebenezer would probably become the most miserable assassin in history. His opponent that had not even discovered his position had already defeated him!

At that moment, the elf girl in the distance was surrounded by 50 Dark Elves. As she was skilled in long-range attacks, her close combat attacks were not as strong. She was repeatedly injured by the Dark Elves’ coordinated battle formation. She was about to be captured alive.

The three noble youths looked at the battlefield in the distance excitedly. The leader of the guards also had some anticipation in his eyes.

Although he had guessed that the other party might have a backup plan, he could not help but feel a little distracted after seeing that an assassin was about to be captured alive. This slight distraction was equivalent to leaving the three noble youths without any protection!

A gentle breeze suddenly blew through the forest. A few fallen leaves landed behind the three youths.

Vincent, who was observing from a high vantage point, discovered that one of the fallen leaves was descending at an exceptionally fast speed. Moreover, it had a metallic luster that was obviously different from the other leaves!

“Whoosh!”

When the leaf landed behind Dave, a green figure suddenly emerged from the leaf and condensed into an elf figure.

It was an elf, but his clothes were all green. Even the short knife in his hand was green. He had appeared silently and was only an instant away from killing Dave!

Vincent and the others who were observing in the dark could not help but feel suffocated when they saw this. Such a mysterious assassination technique made them feel helpless. They could not imagine how hopeless the target must feel.

However, Dave was not in despair because he had not discovered the assassin behind him, nor did he think that he might die in the next second!

At that critical moment, the guard leader who was standing before Dave suddenly lifted his hand to remove the black crystal necklace from his neck. He crushed the necklace forcefully.

“Buzz!”

A black-light instantly burst out from his hands and spread out in all directions. Time seemed to be frozen wherever it passed.

There was a hint of surprise and astonishment in the eyes of the three youths who were behind the guard leader. The expression on their faces was instantly frozen.

The monsters that sensed danger were about to growl when they suddenly froze as well.

The elf that appeared behind Dave and was about to stab him with a knife froze in midair. His eyes were filled with shock.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You’ve finally appeared!”

The leader of the guards turned his head to look behind Dave. A deep and sinister smile appeared on his face.

At that moment, the assassin realized that the guard leader was just pretending to be attracted to the distant battlefield. His main purpose was to lure him to attack!

The leader of the guards looked at the green elf who was frozen in midair. He smiled coldly and shouted, “Wood Elf, Horace! The hunter in the forest, a remnant who worships the Elf King! Today, in order to capture you, the City Lord did not hesitate to use his own son as bait. Your death is worth it!”

He then drew the great sword on his waist. He was prepared to kill him on the spot.

“Master!”

The elf girl who was surrounded in the distance saw this and could not help but shout with a face full of grief and indignation. At the same time, because she was distracted, a long spear instantly pierced through her shoulder and flipped her onto the ground. A group of Dark Elves rushed forward one after another and pressed her firmly to the ground.

After seeing that the assassination plan of the two elves had failed and that they were about to pay the price with their lives, Vincent quickly said to Avril and Angelina beside him, “Now, split up and act!”

“Okay!”

Avril and Angelina instantly rushed towards the elf girl in the distance.

Angelina pointed at the elf girl and shouted softly, “Modified rebound!”

The Dark Elves that were holding down the elf girl suddenly felt an even more powerful force coming from their hands. Each of their fingers was lifted up under tremendous force. They were trying to hold the back of their hands!

“Ah!”

The Dark Elves could not bear the pain coming from their hands. They shouted and retreated, far away from the elf girl.

“God of War body!” shouted Avril softly. A bright golden light suddenly appeared on her body. She instantly turned into an afterimage and rushed into the encirclement of the Dark Elves. She picked up the heavily injured elf girl and ran into the forest far away.

“Let me down! I want to save Master!”

Although the elf girl did not see who it was, she could clearly feel that someone was trying to save her. However, she was worried about her master’s safety, so she still struggled to stay.

However, the heavily injured elf girl did not have much strength left. Avril held the elf girl down and ignored her cries. She took her and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Angelina, who was still on the battlefield, did not leave with her sister immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Horace, the Wood Elf who was frozen in the air, and said softly, “Modify restore!”

As Angelina’s voice fell, everything around Dave suddenly returned to normal. Angelina took the opportunity to quickly retreat in the direction where Avril had left.

Horace could move his hands freely once again and immediately hardened his heart. He gripped the dagger tightly and stabbed towards Dave’s back.

“Your Highness, get down!”

After seeing this, the leader of the guards immediately shouted to warn Dave. At the same time, he raised the great sword in his hand and jumped high.

Even if Horace killed Dave, he would still crash into the guard leader’s great sword.

The guard leader was betting that Horace would not exchange his life with Dave’s!

However, Horace was aware of his current situation. The Dark Elves were eyeing him from all sides. Even if he retreated, he would not be able to escape his fate of being captured alive. As an assassin, he might as well risk his life to complete his mission!

Just as Horace decided that he would rather die to complete his mission, Dave felt a chill coming from behind him. However, he could not do anything at that moment. He could only lie on the back of the monster, trembling. He was praying that the leader of the guards could save him successfully!

However, his heart was filled with despair. Although he was frozen earlier, he could still hear what the guard leader had said. It turned out that he was being used as bait for his father. In that case, why would the guard still care about his life? After all, he only listened to his father’s orders.

At that moment, Dave realized that although he was the son of the City Lord, he did not even have someone he could rely on and trust. Even his own biological father was scheming against him. No one cared about his life or death.

In a flash, a black figure suddenly emerged from the depths of the dense forest. It ran straight towards the battlefield where Horace and the leader of the guards were racing to the death!

When Avril and Angelina rushed out earlier, Vincent had also started moving at the same time. However, he did not want to run past the giant rock. Instead, he turned around and ran into the mountains.

Vincent made a detour and used his Transformation Skill to transform himself into the appearance of a Dark Elf. He rushed out of the forest again and headed to the center of the battlefield at an even faster speed. Before anyone could react, he pulled Dave off the back of the monster.

“Save him, there’s no time to explain!” shouted Vincent but his actions did not stop. He carried Dave on his shoulder and ran out of the forest.

After seeing Dave being carried away by a Dark Elf, the guard leader and the other Dark Elves heaved a sigh of relief. They could proceed to kill Horace without any scruples!

Horace, who watched his target slip away from his hands, was shocked. He realized that he had no chance of dying together with him. He could only close his eyes in despair and prepare for his own death.

At that moment, a figure shrouded in black gas suddenly appeared. It was Ebenezer, who had been hiding in the monster’s shadow below Horace.

Furthermore, Ebenezer was in a position to carry Horace on his shoulders!

He grabbed Horace by the waist and quickly shouted, “Open the door!”

An invisible door instantly appeared in the air in front of him.

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ebenezer only took a step forward while carrying Horace. The two of them disappeared from everyone’s sight in an instant.

Ebenezer was not made aware of Vincent’s plan. Therefore, when he saw Avril carrying the elf girl away, he did not act immediately.

He also did not move when the Dark Elf suddenly appeared and carried Dave away. After all, his primary goal was to hide.

However, he was shocked to hear what the Dark Elf had said before carrying Dave away. This was because he could tell that it was his master’s voice.

If his master stayed during such a critical moment, then it was time for him to make a move!

Saving others was more important!

Ebenezer instantly understood what Vincent meant, because there was only one creature who was in danger at that time, and that was Horace!

Thus, Ebenezer appeared at the most critical moment and immediately used his modification authority to summon a door. He then disappeared into nothingness along with Horace.

Both the assassin and target disappeared in an instant. The guard leader had missed his opportunity to attack. He stepped lightly on the monster’s back and jumped to where Ebenezer had disappeared to. He swung his sword in the air a few times, but he did not find anything.

The guard leader asked the elves around him with a blank look, “What happened? How did Horace disappear into thin air?”

“Well, he seems to have been taken away by someone!” said a Dark Elf with a surprised look.

The guard leader’s face darkened, and he roared, “Who saved him? How?”

The Dark Elf pointed at the ground under the leader and said, “That person was covered in black gas. He doesn’t look like a Dark Elf. In fact, he doesn’t look like an elf at all. He crawled out from the ground under your feet and carried Horace on his back. He took one step forward and disappeared!”

The leader of the guards could not help but move away from the spot. He looked at the ground cautiously and said in a deep voice, “Dig the ground and search carefully. Even if you have to dig three feet, you have to find where Horace went!”

“Yes!”

The rest of the Dark Elves quickly responded. They stepped forward and began to dig the ground using their weapons.

…

At the same time, Vincent was carrying Dave on his shoulders. They arrived at a stream outside the forest. He put Dave down, clapped his hands and said to him, “Well, it’s safe now!”

Dave looked at Vincent blankly. He then looked at the forest behind him, and asked in shock, “Who are you? Why am I here?”

Vincent’s eyes turned, and he said, “My name is Vincent. I came here from Dark Yuan City to pursue the foreign races. Just now, I saw someone trying to assassinate you, and the elf who wanted to assassinate you was obviously with the foreign races, so I saved you!”

Dave exclaimed in shock, “You saved me from Horace? He is known as the God of Hunting in the jungle and has the strength of a level 40 creature! How did you do it? Could it be that your level is higher than Horace?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “I only have the strength of a level 25 creature. I can’t even cast a decent spell. I’m just born with very fast speed!”

Dave nodded and agreed with Vincent. He then thought of something and said to Vincent, “You don’t even know me, but you still risked your life to save me. You’re more reliable than my friends and family. Don’t go back to Dark Yuan City. From now on, follow me!”
