82 Assassin and Anti-kill

"What?" The earls of the Principality of Lane were accustomed to heated disputes among the earls of the Principality of the Blue Moon. However, upon hearing the other party's words, they snapped back to reality, hastily scanning their surroundings.

As if coming out of a trance, they were astounded by what they saw. The opposing army's size was shockingly small.

Over 10,000 soldiers from the Blue Moon Principality had perished on the battlefield.

And they witnessed Allen's unstoppable prowess. "Is that Baron Allen?!" Garrick's eyes widened. For the first time ever, he doubted the evidence of his own eyes.

The soldiers behind Allen were drenched in blood, resembling demons emerging from a sea of carnage. Particularly, their red eyes radiated intense killing intent.

Even the observers were taken aback.

"The five thousand men I personally assigned to him, their combat effectiveness must be even beyond!"

Surveying the formidable strength of the soldiers behind Allen, Garrick found himself baffled. If it weren't for their family insignias, he'd question whether they were truly his family's troops.

Curiously, why did these lads under Allen's command appear so bloodied and intense? When in his service, they couldn't even achieve half of their current combat effectiveness. Garrick's thoughts were in disarray. Was such a stark double standard feasible?

"But as we can see, the warriors led by Baron Allen are indeed capable of unleashing even greater combat power!" A startled earl commented, soon accompanied by smiles. Clearly, Allen's performance had the potential to conclude the conflict well before them.

At present, all the golden knights of the Blue Moon Principality were engaged in combat with Garrick's forces and others. With a bit more time, the forces of the Blue Moon Principality would be decimated.

In fact, even when a third of the army had fallen due to Allen's efforts, the Blue Moon Principality's soldiers had already begun to crumble.

Having survived thus far without fleeing was an act of great courage. "Damn! That guy's up to something!"

One of the Blue Moon Principality's earls displayed an unpleasant expression.

"What are we waiting for? If we don't act now, our troops will all be buried!" The earl of the Blue Moon Principality abruptly shouted down to the battlefield.

Instantly, three formidable auras erupted from three directions not far from Allen's position.

Three individuals dressed in regular warrior attire emitted the golden knight's aura simultaneously. In an instant, the trio closed in on Allen, who had been wreaking havoc on the battlefield. "Hmph, impatient fools. If they'd given us a little more time, this lad wouldn't even have had the chance to react."

The three brandished daggers, swiftly approaching Allen.

Clearly, had the Blue Moon Principality's earl not lost his cool, the trio would have been able to launch a fatal strike on Allen from an even closer distance.

"Damn it! Assassins! Seventh-level assassins!"

Garrick's expression changed.

On this continent, Dou Qi and magic were the primary cultivation methods, and knights and magicians were the mainstream professions.

Nevertheless, mainstream wasn't synonymous with all-encompassing.

Apart from knights and magicians, numerous other professions existed.

For example, potionists like Nick, and assassins such as the ones confronting Allen now.

Assassins were specialized in assassination. A powerful assassin could even take down a sanctuary-level powerhouse!

It could be said that assassins were the most fearsome profession. They didn't engage in head-on combat, but instead stalked their targets like relentless ghosts, lurking like shadows or your own reflection, making sleep impossible.

Of course, most wouldn't even know they were being hunted by assassins, as they perished silently, well before realizing the threat.

The appearance of the three assassins cast an instant pall over the battlefield.

Garrick's earls displayed a mix of anger and concern.

At this juncture, even if they wished to intervene, it was undoubtedly too late.

"Boy, you can die in peace!"

The three assassins launched their attack on Allen from three directions. Also seventh-level powerhouses, they even made Allen feel a hint of danger when three level-seven experts proficient in assassination channeled their full strength.

For an ordinary seventh-level knight in this scenario, being attacked by three assassins of the same level would lead to severe injury at the least, if not death...

However, Allen was far from ordinary.

After a brief surprise, he regained his composure swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, Allen vanished from their astonished sight.

In the next moment, he reappeared behind an assassin, a glint of murderous intent and icy resolve in his eyes.

"Emerging from the shadows to face the sun, you're already defeated. You guys want to assassinate me? Are you even worthy?"

With a sweep of his knight's sword, Allen severed an assassin's head, sending it flying along with a spurt of crimson. A moment before death
