Chapter 190
The sun had already set, and Princess Mishas and the others planned to go back, leaving only a few people behind to guard the place.
At the end of the day, Mo Cheng did not wait for the person he was supposed to wait for. It was obvious that the "substitutes" sent by Baker understood that the current situation was not suitable for them to come forward for assassination.
"Captain, do you want to continue?"
The griffins had begun to return to their nests, and Theresa was playing with an earring she had taken from a bird's nest. She and Isabel both knew that Mo Cheng was doing some kind of surveillance, but they did not ask for an explanation.
He just asked whether surveillance work would continue in the future, without asking any reason.
"want!"
Gritting his teeth, Mo Cheng said, "Continue monitoring for the next few days."
He could only use this stupid method, because Mo Cheng didn't have any information about the substitute team at all. All he could do was to take a look at Princess Mishas when she was leaving the Central Royal City and her defense was the most vulnerable.
The [Substitute] team would never dare to take action in the Central Royal City. If they had that ability, why would they need to assassinate any princess? They could just assassinate Queen Andair directly.
Therefore, the place where the [substitute] team takes action must be the road from the junction of the sinking area and the civilian area to the return to the Central Royal City.
"Captain, it seems that there is no need to continue monitoring."
Isabel leaned against a small tree and pointed to a certain place. "Two streets away from the target, some people are gathering abnormally. Their target is very clear."
"The number of teams, and the number of people."
Hearing the target appear, Mo Cheng immediately entered the state, although he felt that it was not worth it to be busy until now. But for many things, you can only choose between a very bad option and a not-so-bad option. It is better to be busy than to have the foundation that you spent your energy and time to build in the early stage pulled out.
"There are three teams, and the exact number of people is unclear. They are all wearing the same type of clothing, and there may be ordinary people who are controlled inside."
"It is estimated that the three teams will make contact with the target in fifteen minutes. Captain, what do?"
"Isabel, I heard that people of elven descent are natural archers?"
Isabel took down the longbow behind her and gently plucked the bowstring, as if plucking the strings of a musical instrument. "This is what we are proud of. Even among the elves of the same age, their archery skills are not as good as ours."
"Then give me remote support."
After saying that, Mo Cheng turned into a shadow and disappeared into the darkness. For Isabel and Theresa, this was somewhat of a test for Mo Cheng.
If they can provide good support, Mo Cheng doesn't mind giving them limited trust.
...It's probably about the degree of trust that the wild team members will not steal equipment or be greedy.
"Um, sister." Theresa looked at the direction where Mo Cheng disappeared, and then looked at the assassination team that was obviously of extremely high level, and said in a weak tone, "Should we really do this?"
"Isn't it what you wanted to do, to join Priest Mo Cheng and use it to improve your status in the cult? Now the other party has given us the first test."
Isabel poked the quiver on her back into the ground. The quiver stood upright and a hole was made in the floor.
The quiver filled with cold iron arrows was heavier than expected, even heavier than a bow and arrow made of ordinary cold iron.
The half-elf longbowman stood on the artificial jungle, bow drawn and arrow drawn, pupils dilated, eyes vacant, not aiming accurately at anyone. But the arrow in his hand was pointed exactly at the path those people would take. The skilled longbowman had already estimated the route of the [prey] in advance.
"But I didn't expect that my first mission would be to face a group of elite assassins. They are obviously professional and have an organization behind them."
"If not, would Priest Mo Cheng give us a chance to perform? If we want to join the wolf pack, we must first contribute food to the leader and let the leader see our fangs and claws. Theresa, you should still be able to pull the bowstring, right?"
Hearing her sister's provocation with words that had special meanings between them, Theresa took down the short bow with her backhand. When she pulled the bowstring, several arrows formed by elements appeared on it. "Sister, do you still care about the last defeat? You are really a sister who never grows up."
"Really? 195 wins, 192 losses, you who care about winning or losing are the ones who never grow up. Today I will be the 196th."
"Today you will only face your 193rd failure."
Although the two men were arguing, the bows and arrows in their hands did not tremble at all.
The night gradually fell, and the setting sun completely took away the last ray of afterglow. Before the stars and the moon came out, and the street lights had not yet emitted their light, in such a dark moment, the [substitute] team moved.
Darkness, like ink, pulls the entire space into a lightless environment. As an assassination department, the Inquisition uses the power of holy light, but they are more often accompanied by darkness.
"Alert, enemy attack!"
Princess Mishas's guards immediately went on alert. At the same time, Princess Mishas was guarded by at least four heavy shield guards, who were ready to use their bodies to block attacks from any direction for Princess Mishas at any time.
However, these people's resistance to the Inquisition was not very effective, and could even be said to be weak.
Dozens of flying knives cut through the heavy armor as if it were nothing, and dismembered the guards.
Then a pitch-black wall was erected, swallowing up all the light and sound here, making it impossible for others to detect any abnormalities here.
"Kill them all in five minutes!"
The attackers only have five minutes, which includes the time to evacuate and clean up the traces. They need to complete the assassination, clean up the traces, and evacuate within five minutes.
There is no need to consider the consequences of not completing the task. Each of them has more than three means of immediately initiating their own death. They are assassins, but also out-and-out death warriors.
A ray of light flashed in the darkness, but that light did not bring any warmth, but instead brought coldness and death.
It was a sword light that took away the lives of others without any mercy or gentleness.
In an instant, a heavy shield guard was cut in half, but in his last thought before death, the heavy shield guard did not struggle, but instead opened his arms and tried to hold the enemy tightly.
But before that, the sword light cut the heavy shield guard's head in half.
On the other side, the magicians who were protecting Princess Mishas finally summoned a ball of light to illuminate the surrounding darkness, but the two magicians vomited blood at the same time and screamed: "Magic Erosion, it's someone from the Inquisition!"
The air was mixed with purple ribbon-like strong substances. The darkness just now was not only intended to catch the opponent off guard, but also to hide this [Magic Corrosion Element] for one of the reasons.
