Female Novel
Chapter 1818
Ignatius was very alert. He quickly retreated with the royal guards when he saw the assassin advancing closer.
Keeping himself alive was a priority now. He just needed to avoid the assassination attempt. When the assassin grew tired, he’dorder the soldiers to kill him. This was the safest option.
“Draven, | think Ignatius is right. Safety first. I'll retreat for now.” Atticus didn’t dare to stay any longer as he slowly retreated withthe royal guards when he saw Ignatius leaving.
“Hmm! All of you are just scared!” Draven frowned slightly with a disgruntled look. He then turned to look at Mortimer andexpressively said, “Mortimer, you've always been a brave fighter. You're certainly not retreating like those two, right?”
“Of course not!” Mortimer stretched a little bit and smirked, “It’s just an assassin. There’s nothing to be afraid of!”
He became a sovereign after a bloody and hellish experience. There was nothing he had not seen. A worthless assassin was notenough to scare him.
“Good! We'll see how good this assassin is!” Draven happily nodded as he signaled his royal guards. “Get into formation!Capture that assassin!”
“Yes!” Behind him, a few hundred royal guards withdrew their longswords immediately and charged forward to surround theassassin.
“Capture the assassin!” Mortimer was eager to show off as well. He quickly withdrew his sword and led his team of royal guardsto attack the assassin from another direction.
The royal guards were selected from the very best. Each of them could fight a hundred opponents on their own and was muchstronger than an ordinary soldier.
The assassin might appear very skilled as he could defeat the common soldiers easily, but that was because he wasn’t fightingthe elites.
When the royal guards entered the fight, it was impossible for him to kill and attack as easily. As expected, when the royal guardsof the two sovereigns showed up, the assassin slowed down visibly. 1novelbin
The royal guards were much better than ordinary soldiers in terms of skills, armor, and experience. Even though they might notbe able to take on the heavy hitters, they were able to wear them down effectively.
The ordinary soldiers wore only metal armor, but the royal guards wore steel armor. In terms of defense, both of them were atdifferent levels. A grandmaster would spend much more energy killing ten of these royal guards than killing a hundred ordinarysoldiers.
“Hmm! | thought he was really good. He couldn’t even fight our royal guards. “Mortimer snickered when he saw the assassinbeing surrounded by the royal guards. He was sure that they would win.
“Of course! We spent good money to train the royal guards. How could an ordinary soldier compete against them? “Dravenlaughed lightly.
“I'll reward ten thousand gold coins to the person who killed the assassin!” Mortimer shouted, raising his sword to the sky.
Tens of thousands of soldiers got very excited when they heard that. All of them rushed toward the assassin as fast as theycould.
The fear they felt earlier had melted into desire. Ten thousand pieces of gold coins were enough to drive anyone crazy.“Quick! Kill him!” The soldiers shouted angrily and charged forward fearlessly. As they rushed forward, a weak link appearedunintentionally in the defense formation that they were in.
The shadow assassin saw the opening and sped up as he rushed toward Draven and Mortimer before they could close the weaklink.
“Don’t rush! Steady yourself!” Draven frowned and quickly gave out orders. However, it was too late. The shadow assassin wastoo fast for them. When he saw the weak link, he was unstoppable as he rushed forward.
There was a trail of severed limbs wherever he passed. The royal guards of the two sovereigns tried to stop him but to no avail.The shadow assassin was on a killing spree.
“Shit! The assassin kept his abilities hidden. We fell for his trap!” Mortimer was mortified as he realized something was wrong.
The assassin feigned being weak and lured them to surround him when he fought with the royal guards.
