Episode 15
I pulled out the black dragon sword and waited for the attackers to approach.
Doo doo doo doo!
The moment the earth-shattering cavalry group approached, the horses unfolded.
Swoop!
When it was unfinished, a shady and sticky black energy could be seen flowing along the sword body.
But now there was not even that kind of movement.
A technology that cannot be detected by any sense, as if its existence itself has disappeared.
That was the true face of Maryunsal.
Peit! Pick!
The intangible aura fired from the sword strike blew off the necks of the assailants who were running on horseback.
Even when a person’s head fell off, only the sound of blood gushing out could be heard.
It was truly a silent tragedy.
‘If there are no eyewitnesses, that’s an assassination.’
After dealing with the ten attackers, I left the trade route.
In the meantime, Raoul drove madly, unaware that the assailants had annihilated them.
* * *
The escorts suffered ambushes from time to time.
The guys couldn’t help but become more and more persistent.
It was because if Raul went over to the Beldom National Alliance, it would be difficult to pursue.
Sure enough, they launched an attack from the Bendrow River, the border between the Empire and the Beldum National Alliance.
‘I wondered if it was necessary to go out, but this won’t work.’
The checkpoint was now almost a stone’s throw away, and since it was close to the border, surveillance would be tight.
However, the enemy showed a move that overturned expectations.
Hundreds of troops were deployed at once.
In fact, this was an absurd figure.
‘Can this happen unless the empire tolerates it? How much money did you feed them?’
It didn’t matter how the border guards were roasted.
Right now, securing an escort target was the priority.
The attackers moved quickly.
Already, an unknown group was stealthily approaching across the battlefield.
After checking them out, I couldn’t help but frown.
“Are you the same?”
The Assassin inevitably had no choice but to recognize those like himself.
Because each and every action was imbued with the thick smell of death.
Sure enough, the escorts were completely unaware of the fact that they were getting close.
It seemed that he was using a unique method of hiding.
‘First of all, approach.’
It was impossible to stop the murder at such a distance.
Perhaps, the training fee is not enough.
Shih! shhh!
Still, as a check, I threw three throwing knives.
Valid!
As expected, the assassins noticed the presence of the flying projectiles and immediately took a defensive posture.
It was much faster to respond than the article, but I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by the bypass function of Hoeryeonbido.
Tae-aeng! hooked!
A throwing knife was stuck in the neck of one person who could not handle it properly.
However, he did not appear to be seriously injured.
He twisted his body in an instant to minimize damage.
‘It’s quite a lot, but where are they from?’
If it’s enough to block a new trick with only physical ability, it must be a pretty decent organization.
It seemed that if I made a mistake, I could fail the mission.
I quickly advanced to the battlefield while deploying the secret hiding technique.
The others couldn’t detect me at all, but the Assassins did.
It seemed that he had somehow noticed that there was an invisible being.
The assassins hurriedly appeared and opened fire on Raoul.
“Ugh!”
“Wait, where the hell!”
The startled escort captain swung his sword and shield, but the attack was very quick and sharp.
Suhwaak! Thuddeong!
“Keah!”
Being besieged by two assassins, Rustin, the captain of the escort, had no time to care about Raoul.
Surprisingly, it was because the transparent aura embedded in the dagger pierced the shield in one blow.
“Oh, no!”
The captain of the escort shouted when he saw the assassin rushing at Raoul.
It was because it seemed that the 3 princes would be egged on at any moment.
But he couldn’t achieve his goal.
‘Ah, a hero appears!’
It was because I jumped out and protected Raul at the moment of desperation.
Swoop!
The assassins intuitively noticed signs of Lee Hyung-eun’s sleep technique.
However, it was almost impossible to detect the horse’s flesh.
Besides, the black dragon sword had already slashed the assassin’s head.
It was the same guy who had come close to Raoul.
Awesome!
“Kreurreuk!”
When the head and body were separated, the dagger, which had nowhere to go, only scratched the air.
The level of swordsmanship of the three princes was not low enough to prevent such a blind attack.
visor!
After slashing the dagger, Raul immediately stared blankly at me wearing a mask.
A look of surprise and delight mixed together.
He seemed convinced that I, who appeared, was an escort in the dark.
It seemed that he had been aware of my presence since the last raid.
‘I think this will be a bit troublesome.’
It had nothing to do with revealing his identity to the client.
The purpose is not to hide the identity of the escort.
Still, if they knew of my existence, there was a high possibility that the movement of the escort target would change.
‘You can be bold. It doesn’t look that stupid.’
I looked back at Rustin and the two assassins.
The fight was going one-sided.
There were two assassins attached, but it was natural for a knight of a similar level to be pushed out.
I decided to support Rustin first.
He was probably the most usable of the escorts, so I thought it would be better to save him.
Swoop.
“her!”
As I disappeared before my eyes, Raoul put on a bewildered expression.
It was because it was the first time I had seen the stealth technique in person.
I smiled at the reaction of the three princes and approached the two assassins.
Maybe it’s because they’re in the middle of a battle, they didn’t seem to be able to detect my presence like before.
‘It caught my attention. A knight uncle.’
Sugak! Awesome!
As they approached and swung their swords, the assassins stopped moving with an eerie sound.
Before long, their heads fell off, and blood gushed from their necks like a fountain.
“Huh?”
Empty!
Rustin, who was cornered, dropped his shield and put on a bewildered expression.
I couldn’t help but be stunned.
You wouldn’t have expected that high-level assassins would be slaughtered in a single day.
without any signs.
“her…….”
The moment Rustin turned his head, I was already clearing out a dozen assailants.
Even so, enemies were swarming near the bridge.
At this point, it seemed better to just kill them.
Everyone, even the informants watching the situation from afar.
If you can’t bring even one line of information to the main base, tracking will be difficult.
‘Am I finally going to be able to use it in real combat?’
Concentrating my mind, I raised my ryun practice technique.
Something translucent protruded from the blade of the black dragon sword and shot at high speed.
Spot-!
The sphere flew off leaving a faint tail and burrowed into the rear of the assailants and disappeared immediately.
Then a flash of light spread out.
Parss.
Unlike the insignificant noise, the visual effect of the Dancheonpokryun was truly explosive.
Thousands of transparent Aura fragments pierced through the human and horse without covering them.
There was no noise, but it was very shocking to see people dying in torrents.
Calling it a silent massacre would not be inferior.
Hundreds of raiders became a beehive in an instant.
The killing range of Dancheonpokryun precisely divided the escorts and the enemy.
Only an excellent number of enemy soldiers were defeated by one exquisite move.
‘It’s my first time in real life, but I got in really well. big! After all, my talent.’
Congratulating myself inwardly, I hurriedly left the battlefield while the people were distracted.
The rest was at a level that the escorts could sort out on their own.
Shouldn’t they also pay for the food?
* * *
Raoul and his party, who entered the Beldom National Alliance, were able to continue their journey more comfortably.
Certainly, as soon as the border was crossed, raids were drastically reduced.
Occasionally, assassins came in, but there were no outstanding skills like before.
It was about setting deadly traps, such as releasing poison at the water source along the route.
Of course, I had eliminated such a trivial attempt beforehand.
However, it was not without risks.
It was because an assassin appeared without fail when entering a city or village.
However, no matter how many people were around, misfortune did not occur.
Hey profit! puck!
“Kreukreuk!”
“Hmm. Assassin again.”
It was no surprise any longer that someone passing by would be killed by secret magic.
If you search the bosom of the corpse, there is always something like a poisoned weapon.
Rustin seems to have gotten used to this situation, so he immediately called the escort to deal with it.
“At this point, I wonder who it is.”
“I intend to find out anyway.”
“How? You can’t figure it out at all, can you?”
“We’ll have to make ourselves visible. We’d better camp around here today.”
The three princes looked back at the captain of the escort with a faint smile.
The escorts immediately found a flat clearing and set up camp.
Meanwhile, Raoul was on his way deep into the forest.
Rustin’s eyes shook, but the 3rd prince waved his hand and said he was okay.
There is a mighty dark escort, so how dangerous would it be to move a little further from the camp?
The captain of the escort waited patiently, pacing around the neighborhood.
In the meantime, the three princes went into the woods and poured wine into their glasses with their backs against the tree trunk.
“It’s fate that this happened, let’s have a drink. Aren’t we almost there now?”
