The bodyguard walked backward slowly, instantly drawing the assassins away from the tent.
Of course the assassins followed him ever so slowly.... they took their time too, and acted as if they had all the time in the world.
But the truth was that, they themselves were assessing the situation as well.
They had a gut feeling if they did not deal with this ogre, then they wouldn't be able to plete their mission quietly and quickly.
Usually, only one person would have handled any main issues within the mission.
But as they looked at this huge bodyguard, something told them that he was more skilled than any of them.
But if they worked together, then they might just end his life and get back to their mission.
As they walked closer to the bodyguard, they immediately took out their daggers.
And once the bodyguard stopped, they slowly circled him slowly.
They moved in closer until their fists were within striking distance, before they made their move.
1 vs 2
'Swish! Swish!'
Both assassins aimed their daggers at the bodyguard.
One of them aimed for his neck, while the other one aimed for the left side of his back.
The slicing motion made the air whistle, as the daggers moved towards their target.
The bodyguard immediately leaned to his right side, instantly dodging both dagger attacks aiming for his throat and left back.
As he leaned, he swiftly delivered a fierce punch towards the assassin in front of him.
'Paaw!'
The assassin's upper belly had been hit.
'Grrrr!!!'
The assassin growled, as he tried his best to hold his pain in... lest he made any noise that would attract more knights here.
The assassin behind the bodyguard, swung his knife in attempt to stab the bodyguard's back again.
But when he was so close in doing that, the bodyguard immediately grabbed the other assassin's throat and swung him around.
'Pchui!!!'
It happened in a flash.
The dagger had been plunged into the assassin's back.
Truthfully, this assassin felt like he was so unlucky.
Why him?
First he received that fierce punch, and now he was getting stabbed at the center of his chest.
Damn! It was really painful.
As they continued to fight, the bodyguard would duck, lean, jump, kick and punch them here and there.
They fought for about 7 minutes and at the end, both died by accidentally stabbing each other.
Of course the bodyguard had a cut on his face and a stab on the back of his leg after the fight.
Once the battle was over, Eli surprisingly came out.
"Well done!!"
How could Eli not hear the motion outside?
With all his years of training, Eli had easily felt the killing intent targeted at him when the assassins were about to enter his tent.
Plus as a General and a knight, how could he not beware of his surroundings when he slept?
"I'm sorry My lord!!!
I couldn't get any information out of them while I fought.
Please punish me as you deem fit'" The bodyguard said while kneeling.
"There's no need to get anxious.... I already know the culprits for this matter.
Take off their masks and let's see who they are!!"
Once the masks were taken off, the bodyguard was somewhat taken aback by one of the faces.
"Everyone e out!!"
The other 8 bodyguards immediately appeared.
"My lord!!
