THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 235: WE ARE SHADOWS!
Among the soldiers who managed to stay alive from the arrow attacks, some of them were heavily injured while others were lightly injured.
In almost the entire army, all were wounded except for the mayor and his family who were on the train and the traitor from Lopen's law enforcement forces.
They used horse carriages to resist the arrows, but now the horse that pulled the carriage was injured or dead so it was no longer possible to continue the journey.
The traitor of the law enforcement forces kept staring around, he was trying to figure out the whereabouts of the thousands of archers who had just shot them.
Around them right now was a forest filled with trees, it was impossible for him to realize the existence of the ambushing army.
Without hesitation, he stood up from his hiding place and shouted "Who are you? We are not the army of the Victory Count but rather the army of the 7th prince! If you let us go, we don't mind giving some of the treasures we're carrying now! Besides the 7th prince must remember your kindness and pay him back someday".
This traitorous man was sure that the troops attacking them were not Myro's troops at all, after all, he was a member of the Myro law enforcement force which made him aware of all the positions and strategies of the Myro forces in Victory Province.
Therefore, he was confident that the troops that attacked them were most likely hostile forces against Myro.
The enemy thought he and the mayor and his soldiers were Myro's troops trying to attack them, so the enemy decided to attack first.
But the man who betrayed him had no idea, all he had thought about was a grave mistake.
Suddenly hundreds of people wearing black clothes emerged from the forest, all wearing clothes to cover their faces. Except for the eyes, their entire body was invisible as a result of being covered in clothes.
Before the mayor's forces were able to prepare for the fight, the black-clothed men instantly took 5 needles from their clothing pockets and threw them towards the mayor's army.
"Stabs!".
Some of the needles managed to puncture or give scratches to the mayor's forces, but the needles were so small that the wounds given were not fatal.
The man who betrayed Myro avoided all the needles because he found something strange on the needles, that is, in every sharp part of the needles, there was a black liquid that was most likely a poison.
He did not know how deadly the poison on the needle was, but he decided to avoid all the needles using his best ability so that not a single bit of poison hit him.
After successfully avoiding all the needles that rushed towards him, he tried to give a warning to the other soldiers.
But when he saw the condition of his colleagues, the man smiled bitterly because all his colleagues fell to the ground with faces that turned black, can be seen they died of poisoning.
Although the needle that hit them only made a wound of 1 point, but the wound was so fatal that it was able to kill them.
Now that less than 50 warriors had survived, the black-robed men killed all of them easily.
The man who betrayed Myro was surprised to find no one approaching him, an idea popping into his head, perhaps this was an opportunity to escape.
He turned full of fear to find out who actually had a killing aura of this magnitude.
Under the 7th prince, there were countless expert assassins who were directly trained by the prince himself to kill all the enemies who dared to block his path.
Yet all the assassins of the 7th prince, none of them had a killing aura as strong as the person behind them.
The man who betrayed Myro turned around, he found the figure of someone wearing an empty white mask walking over to him.
Although wearing a mask, but he knew the figure who approached him was a woman.
"Wait a minute, there's a misunderstanding here! We're not a Victory-Count troop", the man tried to convince a terrifying figure who kept approaching him.
The man's entire body trembled with fear until he was unable to run anymore, so he could only try to persuade the enemy in front of him to let him live.
"We know you are not at all an army of Victory Counts, therefore you must die!", said the woman wearing a mask full of murderous aura.
"Dash!".
Before the traitor could strike, the woman in front of him had slashed his neck wearing a dagger.
The head traitor flew high into the air before landing hard onto the ground, blood spread around which turned the entire ground and trees red.
The figure of this woman was none other than Lana, while the troops dressed in black and archers just now were the troops trained headquarters all along.
Lana throws blood on her dagger and then keeps her weapon again, another assassin from the base walks up to Lana "Queen, what should we do next? Especially the mayor with his family, whether we should take them to the lord and let them be sentenced to trial or-".
Without waiting for the killer to finish speaking, Lana waved her hand "Are you crazy? Don't forget we are the shadow of master, why are you hesitating to kill now? Listen, the job of the shadow is to clear its master's path! Even though our hands must be covered in blood, you must not hesitate! Hasn't it been since you became a murderer that you've come to know about this? Has all the peace over the years made you an elite assassin weak?".
"I'm sorry, queen! I was confused and asked something so stupid, I won't make the same mistake again!", said the killer who bowed guiltily towards Lana.
Lana shook her head "Forget it, if you ask such a stupid thing just now, I will let you back off from the elite assassins! What was most important of the elite assassins was not an extremely powerful killing technique, but rather the determination of killing the enemy without hesitation! Moreover, they made a mistake that many good embezzlement, secretly increasing taxes, even the sale of humans on the help of the 7th prince!".
As the head of the headquarters, Lana is able to get more information so she knows that the mayor who tried to escape this is the most evil than the other mayor who captured Myro.
The mayors Myro arrested at most only committed embezzlement for their own interests, but the mayors who tried to escape this have committed a lot of crimes, he said, it is not known how many people disappear every month.
"Well, queen!", replied the elite assassin who instantly brought another colleague to kill the mayor along with his family who tried to escape.
Lana observed everything that happened, none of the enemy troops managed to escape so Lana threw away her worry "Duty done, all the enemies have been cleared!".
