It all depends on that dragon's roar.
He walked toward the place he and Tassanya had agreed upon.
Five or six minutes later,
A resounding dragon roar echoed over Wheel Town.
Luo Xiu clenched his fist; the moment had arrived.
Chapter 60 I've got you!
Milair, female, short hair, penniless, fourth-tier assassin.
Currently serving as the Vice Grand Master of the Bandanda Knights.
No, to be precise, it should be the deputy regimental commander who ranks last among the five deputy regimental commanders.
She has always been bothered by this.
After all, it's obvious to everyone that her potential is far greater than that of those four idiots.
But even after being promoted to deputy regimental commander for two years, she is still ranked last.
Even if she used all of her monthly salary to bribe her superiors, it was to no avail.
The area under his jurisdiction could only include a series of small towns, including CheLun Town.
Moreover, even Wheel Town will soon be turned into a dependent land.
The area she was in charge of shrank even further.
Fortunately, the sacrifice in Wheel Town was worthwhile.
Just a few days ago, the lord of Bandanda came to her and told her that as long as she was in charge of overseeing this year's vassal state, he would recommend her to advance one rank in the next Knights Election.
She was initially reluctant.
After all, for the Kingdom Knights, who symbolize glory, possessing a territory is a very shameful and disgraceful thing.
Any member of the Knights would be outraged and disgusted by such a dirty trick of sacrificing land to make peace.
Therefore, simply moving forward one position is definitely not enough.
It must be at least two times.
Lord Bandanda agreed, so she agreed as well.
This should have been a win-win deal, but these past few days she has been dreaming about being promoted to the third deputy commander.
The crowd presented her with white bouquets, offered sincere applause, gave blessings, and enthusiastically shouted her name, Miler.
But why did it become like this?
Milair clutched his right arm, pierced by the red beam, and glared angrily at Tassanya, who was slumped against the wall, unable to move.
A blood-red barrier appeared around Tassanya.
Blood dripped slowly from Miler's arm.
She felt angry and anxious.
According to the original plan, she only needed to stay outside the town at the beginning of the first phase of the settlement, and then ensure that no resident of Wheel Town ran away before the completion of the second phase.
Those nobles and members of the mage academy will voluntarily evacuate before the second phase is completed.
Once the nobles have all left and the second phase of the settlement is completed, her mission will be over.
But even as the red magic was about to cover most of Wheel Town, not a single person emerged from the entire town!
Nobles, people from the mage academy, and the knights stationed in Wheel Town were all nowhere to be seen.
It has happened before that knightly orders have failed to leave their fiefdoms, usually because some foolish knightly orders were determined to live or die with the town they were defending.
But she had never heard of nobles not leaving their ancestral homes.
It should be noted that among those who came this time were the strongest rising star and genius girl from the mage academy, at least two viscounts, and the city lord's two beloved sons.
If all these nobles were to be turned into slime slaves, it would be the biggest disaster in the history of Bandanda.
Forget about being promoted to third place; she'll definitely be demoted! She might even be used as a negative example and severely punished!
The thought of all her hard work over the years going to waste made her feel breathless.
They immediately rushed into Wheel Town to begin the search.
This should have been an easy task, after all, as a fourth-tier assassin, searching would have been a piece of cake for her.
But she never expected that the first dragon she found would be Tassanya, the mad dragon.
What she didn't expect was that when she asked about the whereabouts of the others, Tassanya started beating around the bush.
Such tricks were of no use to her. Once she saw through it, Tassanya suddenly launched an attack on her!
The rumors were true; this dragon really has gone mad!
Faced with Tassanya's attack, she naturally responded with confidence.
And then... it became like this.
She thought dealing with Tassanya would be an easy task, but unexpectedly, something went wrong again.
Milair felt a stinging pain in his right arm and spoke to Tassanya:
"I heard that Earl Larry gave his most beloved youngest son a powerful defensive piece of equipment called Thorn Guardian on his 10th birthday, so the red light just now was from that piece of equipment?"
Tassanya, slumped against the wall, smiled:
"Don't tell you."
Milair raised an eyebrow and continued:
"So you killed Earl Larry's youngest son?"
"Don't tell you."
Tassanya reiterated the same point.
Milair took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter. If I kill you, then you'll naturally be the one who killed the person."
"I can find the rest of the people even without you."
Milair had no intention of wasting any more words. He brandished a dark purple dagger that gleamed with a cold light, like a ghost in the night, exuding a deadly aura.
Dark purple fragments of light burst forth from the dagger, flowing along its blade as if the whispers of countless souls who had perished beneath its blade were entwined upon it, sending a chill down one's spine.
Tier 4 Assassin Skill: [Fatal Domination]
She had just experienced it; although this barrier could reflect and reduce damage, it also had its limits.
This one strike of his could end Tassanya's life.
Lying on the ground, Tassanya watched as the dark purple dagger swung rapidly toward her. With a thought, she mobilized the power she had gained since the start of the battle.
New, dense red scales grew on her body; this time, it wasn't just one arm, but half of her upper body was covered in scales.
boom! ! !
The wall behind her collapsed with a crash, and Tassanya's body flew backward, falling to the ground barely alive and unconscious.
The crimson barrier around her flickered, and red rays of light burst forth, shooting towards Milair before the barrier vanished.
Having lost consciousness, Tassanya could no longer maintain the Thorn Guardian.
As Milair watched the red beam of light hurtling towards her, she became wary and channeled her inner power, causing a dark purple light to emanate from her body.
Assassin Tier 3 Skill: [Dark Screen]
The red light struck the dark purple light, and Milair shuddered, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Such powerful equipment... A Tier 3 unit can injure a Tier 4 unit like myself.
Suddenly, before she could make her next move, she sensed a figure rapidly approaching her.
She looked at the figure and recognized its face.
She had seen it in the resident record list of Che Lun Town in this military dependents' settlement.
Luo Xiu, the masseur, should be a first-tier priest or healing mage.
Luo Xiu ran straight toward Tassanya, who was lying there.
"Wait, what are you doing?!"
Milair moved swiftly, intending to step forward and stop him.
Luo Xiu smiled sheepishly and suddenly accelerated!
Milair, however, was even faster!
Assassin Tier 2 Skill: [Shadow Flash]
Like a phantom, he appeared before Luo Xiu in an instant.
Luo Xiu had anticipated this and placed his right hand in front of his neck to protect it.
Milair smiled ruthlessly, not expecting that the man in front of her had some fighting skills.
But she never intended to kill Luo Xiu in the first place, after all, Luo Xiu was on the list.
With a swift and elegant turn, her dagger plunged viciously into Luo Xiu's abdomen.
Luo Xiu looked flustered.
It seemed as if the sudden turn of the blade had thrown them off balance.
But when Milair's dagger pierced Luo Xiu's body, her expression froze.
Why does it feel so hard?!
The dagger that should have pierced Luo Xiu's body only went in by the tip.
Luo Xiu's left hand, however, grabbed Miler's hand that was holding the dagger.
"Caught."
