Abu couldn't help feeling a little excited. As a newly debuted assassin, this was his first mission. However, the restlessness of young people was not reflected in Abu. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the oasis, Abu moved through the coniferous forest like a civet cat. In a short time, he had grasped the basic positions of the enemies.

  What made Abu even more happy was that except for the warrior guarding the horses who was killed by him, the other nine people were advancing in the forest in a scattered formation. But obviously, the formation of these nine people had been rehearsed in advance. In the middle and at the front were two heavily armored warriors. The other four lightly armored warriors were on the two flanks of the team. The mage was in the middle of the team, and the elven archers were bringing up the rear. The distance between the nine people was between twenty and thirty meters. The positions of the warriors were just within the firing range of the mage and the archers. In this way, the nine people could ensure safety and search for the two people being pursued in the largest area.

  The so-called heavily armored warriors refer to warriors who are fully armored, holding spears and huge shields. Such equipment can give warriors super strong protection and powerful short-distance charges. But their weaknesses are also obvious, that is, slow movement speed and narrow field of vision. This kind of warrior is generally used for collective charges in battle formations and is often played by low-level swordsmen or sword apprentices.

  As for lightly armored warriors, their armor is lower than that of heavily armored warriors. Only the front and back are covered with bronze and silver armor. They hold a sword in one hand and a round shield or wolf tooth shield in the other. While giving up tight protection, lightly armored warriors gain in return sensitive speed and a wide field of vision. Under normal circumstances, lightly armored warriors are often intermediate warriors with slightly stronger martial arts. On the battlefield, lightly armored warriors are in the position of small team commanders.

  In this pursuit team, there are only two heavily armored warriors, but instead, four lightly armored warriors are equipped. This is enough to show the determination of the pursuers and the importance of Marquis Sallans.

  Abu calculated secretly in his heart and then began to slowly approach the lightly armored warrior at the end of the left flank. The wind in the coniferous forest and the sound of the armor of the heavily armored warrior walking at the front provided great cover for his actions. The lightly armored warriors at the end of the left and right flanks were basically parallel to the elven archers bringing up the rear. The shiny swords were looming behind the shields. And the mage in the middle stretched out his magic wand flatly and tried to concentrate his mental power to search in a larger area. It seemed that Abu didn't have much time, because with the help of the mage, the pursuers would soon find the people being pursued.

  Abu carefully attached himself to a tree. From a distance, he looked like a piece of tree bark covered with moss. He slowly waited for a lightly armored warrior to approach. There was only one chance. If he couldn't kill his target with one strike, then he couldn't escape the attacks of the mage and the archers.

  Abu closed his eyes and concentrated all his energy on his ears. Human eyes are actually very strange. When you keep looking at someone, the other person will become alert. Abu simply buried his head in the ground. The footsteps of the light warrior were getting closer and closer. As the moment of attack approached, Abu became extremely calm instead. Even his heart almost stopped beating.

  He silently counted "three, two, one" in his heart. When the lightly armored warrior entered the range of his straight thrust, Abu suddenly jumped up. The dagger in his hand, with a slight sound of wind, rushed straight towards his target.

  The warrior targeted was trying to widen his field of vision as much as possible when he suddenly found a huge piece of bark pouncing at him. Although surprised in his heart, due to his good martial arts training and the instinct of a soldier, this warrior subconsciously raised his shield. However, unexpectedly, his shield was actually blocked in vain. Nothing hit the shield.

  When this warrior still thought he had seen wrongly due to his eyesight, Abu had already quickly crouched down like lightning and got under the warrior's shield. From bottom to top, he cut open the warrior's throat. Then he supported the falling body of the warrior with his other hand and gently placed the dead warrior behind the tree. The whole set of actions was completed in about two seconds. Even the two elven archers with the most sensitive senses didn't notice the abnormality here.

  After Abu's brief handling, this already dead warrior turned into a mound of earth covered with wild flowers and weeds. Unless someone stepped on it, nothing could be found. And at this time, the positions of the other pursuers were still slowly advancing forward. Abu let out a long breath.

  It wasn't until all the work was done that Abu's heart beat hard twice. Unexpectedly, Lan's teachings were so useful. In his eyes, the intermediate swordsman who was previously unattainable now died so easily in his hands. Abu inserted the dagger into his waist and then nimbly climbed up a tree like a monkey and quietly observed the next flaw of the enemy.

  Abu knew that he didn't have much time left. As a tight battle team, they would communicate with each other at certain times to ensure the safety of all personnel. This communication time was generally within half an hour! Abu didn't have the confidence to kill all the targets within half an hour now. But according to Abu's plan, he could at least eliminate another three lightly armored warriors.

  After the first assassination was successfully carried out, Abu quickly entered a feeling that he had never experienced before. In the past, no matter what he did, it was only training assassinations under Lan's teachings. Now Abu began to understand that he was already a real assassin. Lan's words echoed in his heart again: "Assassins don't need trials. Assassins don't have a chance to fail."

  No matter what was on Abu's mind, his body was like a high-speed running machine. The knowledge that Lan had taught flashed through his mind one by one at high speed. In this familiar environment, Abu sometimes turned his body into a withered tree, and sometimes turned his body into a cluster of flowers. The whole set of actions was as light as a groundhog.

  Within half an hour, all four lightly armored warriors silently fell on the grass of the oasis. It wasn't until the mage began to send signals to his companions around that he realized something was wrong. The mage's magic wand made a "hum" sound. But in response to the mage, there were only the two heavily armored warriors in front and the two archers behind. The lightly armored warriors on the two flanks seemed to have disappeared into thin air and there was no echo anymore.

  This mage was obviously the leader of the entire team. Losing four companions within half an hour was enough to make the mage panic. This was simply an unbelievable fact for the mage. Although Gu Yang, the guard of Marquis Sallans, was an outstanding intermediate swordsman, it was impossible to kill his companions so easily. The pursuit personnel of this team were carefully selected. Although the four lightly armored warriors couldn't be said to be able to defeat Gu Yang for sure, they wouldn't be defeated within at least ten minutes.

  But what was going on now? The mage unwillingly sent out a signal again. But the four lightly armored warriors on the two flanks disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea and disappeared forever.
