Azel brings a group of assassins to chase after Antonio's entourage who moves north. Assassins that Azel brought were not ordinary assassins they were the best people specially trained as a secret army of the Navian kingdom.
The rising air and the white snow along the road to the north left the Republican forces a little exhausted, but they still kept moving with their horses escorting the carriages of Prince Antonio and minister Nikof.
A white eagle is seen continuing to fly in the sky above the Republican entourage and it doesn't take long until the assassin from the Navian kingdom can immediately track him down. The Navian royal assassins simply let go of the trained eagle and followed as the eagle flew off informing their target from a great distance.
With the intelligence and tracking ability of the Navia royal assassin they managed to catch up with the Republican entourage and even set up a trap on the road that will be passed by Antonio.
The scattered assassins hid under the snow and over even the fir trees camouflaged their bodies well there were even some who hid far enough to ambush the fleeing targets.
The valleys and hills as well as some cypress trees in the distance all looked white there was no sign of monsters or anything that would attack the Republican entourage, even the Thief-class adventurer Erin did not sense the presence of the enemy at all and only the loud sounds of the eagle above the sky were occasionally heard.
The target of the assassin was already in the middle of the trap they had set up and a few of the cavalry guardsmen suddenly fell from his carriage.
"What happened arrk..?!!"
"Park..?"
"Susakanese..Ugh..!!"
"All set..!!"
Soldiers immediately went on full alert around the horse-drawn carriage to defend but they were unable to see their enemies, causing them to become very worried and eventually another guard soldier fell back down again, other soldiers witnessed a poisonous needle that hunters used in the north to knock their targets unconscious.
Minister Nikof immediately opened the door of his carriage and asked the stuffy soldier.
"The commander said what really happened.?!"
"Our Nikof Minister was attacked and some of our soldiers were taken down.!"
"What are the robbers but where are they..?!"
Minister Nikof asked because there was no enemy.
"Minister Nikof the enemy attacked with an anesthetic needle while continuing to hide so quickly close the door of the train is too dangerous.!"
"I'll leave it to you."
Antonio is also in one of the horse-drawn carriages with Marta, Zaza and Priest Anastasia, while Erin is seen in front riding the horse-drawn carriage.
"Antonio we're under attack.!"
"Erin can you trace their whereabouts.?"
"It's very difficult as if they're very good at hiding, wait for me to see one of them on top of a tree.!"
Erin said that and the few soldiers who heard her were directly staring upwards looking for enemies on top of the tree.
"All beware they are also under the snow..!!"
"What..? It's..!!"
Erin gives a warning when she realizes there is an enemy hiding under the snow, Erin can see a slight movement of snow where the enemy is hiding but the soldiers have trouble detecting their presence, Erin said, until the warning was too late and several soldiers were immediately ambushed and stabbed by knives.
"GROAN...!!"
More bandits that even some jumped onto horse carriages from trees high enough to attack the defending soldiers surrounding the horse carriage, Antonio rushed down from the carriage while talking to his comrades.
"We also have to face them, Zaza attack the enemy hiding in the trees and Erin help Zaza find them, Anastasia and Marta you know what to do."
Antonio instantly took out the Great Sword Of Hell Fire helping against the incoming enemy but saw several anesthetic needles directly piercing the body, which he had seen, Antonio was immune to poison so the needle was immediately removed and again attacked the robbers who could fight with great.
"Damn they're not ordinary robbers, your soldiers should still be able to survive."
Antonio thought, they were not ordinary robbers even most of the soldiers had been defeated with their swift attacks.
"That's our target, kill him..!!"
Antonio immediately prepared because the bandits immediately came after him and Antonio tried to survive. While Marta also cast water attack magic.
"Triple water spears..!!"
"Parkrk..!!"
Three water spears shot through the bodies of several attacking bandits approaching the horse carriage and Priest Anastasia Focus healed the wounded Warrior with his magic.
"Zaza over there..!!?"
Zaza continued shooting arrows at the top of the tree and Erin also attacked with throwing knives dropping one by one the bandits hiding on top of the tree.
But the problem was that the attacking bandits were superior, their surprise attacks were completely undefended until the many casualties from the bodyguard soldiers troubled the few who could still fight.
Antonio never expected this and he became so enraged, that Antonio unleashed power from the Hell Fire sword.
"Fire Bursh..!!"
The flames gushing from Antonio's greatsword burned some of the bandits' bodies but some of the bandits were very quick and agile to avoid the fire attack.
"Damn them not ordinary bandits their abilities are even better than mercenaries.?"
"Antonio they're assassins..!!"
"Erin so the bandit who attacked us is Assassin.!?"
"It's clear their abilities are similar to those of my mother who is an Assassin."
Erin's mother is an assassin Erin certainly knows enough with such abilities.
"I think you're right but most of our Soldiers have already defeated them, the Assassin is indeed very troublesome."
The Assassin surrounded them from all directions and Marta immediately set up a Magic spell but quickly a needle slammed into her arm invalidated the magic, and Marta's body seemed to instantly limp and almost fall.
"Hahaha... won't we let that magic caster cast its magic spells.?"
An Assassin said that and Antonio knew they were not enemies that would be easy to defeat, the weakness of a magic caster class like Marta was that it took quite a long time to cast a spell and it could be easily failed with a quick attack towards his body and Antonio was also unlikely to be able to use a magic wand aslo.
"Who exactly are you all.?!"
"Prince Antonio would be a fool if we told him who we were any more useless because you would soon die an assassin attack..!!"
"Parrrr....! You filthy Assassins I won't let you, Rarrr.!"
Antonio shouted and spoke very loudly he used the skill he once used to control the creatures in the Argamir forest while recapturing the city of Hiran, the voice was so ear-splitting that everyone couldn't hold back his voice, although Antonio's side was also affected but he was forced to use it because of the desperate conditions.
Only a handful of soldiers were still alive and there was no way Antonio could protect all the troupe from the Assassin's siege that much.
"Basic Prince Fuck what are you doing..?!"
"Ther.rrr..!!"
Antonio continued to shout his voice was very echoing and deafening until an Assassin in front of Antonio was immediately seen slumped because it was not strong.
The assassins were still holding their ears shut because the loud noise was still making their ears hurt and buzzing. Antonio immediately readied his sword to finish off the unprepared Assassins but another rumbling sound rang out far from the top of the hill.
"Watch the snow landslide..!!"
"What..!"
"Azel commander how now we have to save ourselves otherwise we will be buried in snow.!?"
"Bas stupidly we have to make sure of Prince Antonio's death, we don't have much time all besieged and attack Prince Antonio kill him before we leave.!"
"Damn the avalanche will be here soon, all quickly finish this kill the prince..?"
"Yes..!!"
All the assassins immediately gathered around Antonio and ignored the other soldiers and Antonio did not expect that the sound of his skill even made an avalanche, but Antonio immediately thought this would also make the real Assassins targeting him focus more on Antonio, so Antonio spoke to prajuri and his adventurer teammates who looked like they were coming to help deal with the assassins.
"Zaza, Erin get Marta into the carriage and the others also all the soldiers into the carriage.!"
"But our prince can't possibly let you fight alone."
"Listen to my words if we all want to survive, quickly enter the horse carriage I will face all those Assassins and protect our horse carriage.!"
"But..?"
"That's a quick go command, I'll bring out my power.!"
"Okay, your highness Prince Antonio."
The soldiers immediately rushed towards the horse-drawn carriage and brought some of their surviving comrades, while Antonio prepared alone to face the overwhelming number of assassins that surrounded him.
