Chapter 535: Section 322: In Position
“The situation is in our favor, if this continues, the murderer will be brought to justice!” Lan Zao, having observed the battle for a long ti and seeing that the mysterious assassin was unable to escape, couldn’t help but show a delighted expression.
But Zong Ge slowly shook his head, his face calm, “Although the battle between the two is fierce, neither has used their most powerful thods. The current situation is still unclear, and it’s far from over.”
No sooner had he spoken than he saw an astonishing scene unfold in the Magic Image.
The City Lord of Snowbird Port’s short stick pierced directly through the mysterious assassin’s chest.
The mysterious assassin’s heart was crushed, and he died on the spot.
The Dragon-man youth and Zong Ge frowned simultaneously, sensing sothing was amiss.
The next mont, the mysterious assassin’s corpse reverted into an Alchemy Puppet.
It was clearly a Golden Level Alchemy Puppet, its quality and Level far surpassing the one used on the Triangular Love Ship.
The survivors shuddered, sharing a common question—
“Where is the real assassin?”
Fortunately, the City Lord’s side soon made the correct response.
The Sea Bird Bishop released Divine Arts, penetrating the true whereabouts of the mysterious assassin.
“Take him out!” Big guy couldn’t help but shout out loud.
He knew that the mysterious assassin was an enemy of the rcenary Group.
The mysterious assassin had acted while he was still asleep. Upon waking, he learned of the entire situation from others.
With the three Golden Level fighters tangled up, the mysterious assassin was in an even more difficult situation.
Suddenly, a Mutation occurred again.
The damaged Alchemy Puppet suddenly shot up and leaped towards the edge of the battlefield.
Then, the “real body” of the discovered mysterious assassin tore through the disguise, unleashing full power despite the exhaustion, desperately entangling the City Lord of Snowbird Port.
“Could it be that the real body of the assassin was actually the Alchemy Puppet from just now?”
“What kind of thod is this? To disguise oneself as an Alchemy Puppet, it’s one thing to deceive us, but to even fool the City Lord of Snowbird Port and the Sea Bird Bishop!”
“This assassin really has so tricks up his sleeve.”
The survivors were quite astonished by the tactics adopted by the mysterious assassin.
This was a stratagem within a stratagem!
Just this move alone revealed the remarkable minds of the mysterious assassin.
“We can’t let him get away!” Seeing that the assassin was about to successfully break through, the Dragon-man youth instinctively stood up, his expression anxious.
“It’s too late to stop him. The Magic Team’s attention is all concentrated on the trio fighting, and their position is far from ideal,” Zong Ge sighed, his voice heavy.
Zi Di hurriedly controlled so scouting Alchemy Puppets, trying to intercept the mysterious assassin’s breakout route.
But obviously, the distance was too clear.
The mysterious assassin’s thods were astonishing, and his mind was exceptional, deceiving everyone.
Just as he was about to succeed, a ghastly green beam of light shot from the distant outskirts of the battlefield.
Mage Tower!
A glimr of hope rose in everyone’s eyes once more.
The mysterious assassin was already on guard, his aura surging, but the next mont, the Combat Skill failed to launch.
The Decomposition Light hit the mysterious assassin squarely.
The assassin’s defenses almost instantaneously disintegrated, and he fell on the spot!
All that was left was a shard of the Silver Fox Mask, which fell to the ground and quickly disintegrated completely.
Big guy raised his arms and cheered loudly, “He’s dead, he’s dead. The bad guy was killed!”
Queshan exhaled a breath of murky air, patting his chest with a look of joy, “We don’t have to live in fear anymore.”
Zi Di sneered, “This is what happens to those who steal our belongings.”
The Dragon-man youth and Zong Ge, however, were montarily silent, not speaking out.
Bai Ya exclaid, articulating what many were thinking at that mont, “That’s the Mage Tower, so impressive!”
A Golden Level Mage Tower was far more formidable than a mage of the sa level.
It was the absolute core of the city’s defense system.
Though it was situated by the docks, far from this battlefield.
Its range of attack was very wide, entirely able to cover the poverty cave.
Whether a territory had a Mage Tower for defense or not was a completely different matter.
Sanda, frowning, looked at the Magic Image, his face showing hesitation, “Is the murderer really dead?”
The survivors all shared this worry.
The mysterious assassin was very skilled at using Alchemy Puppets, achieving his tactical goals by using Alchemy Puppets both in the previous dock assassination and in the just-concluded fierce battle.
“It should be the real body!” Zi Di rewound the Magic Image, allowing everyone to clearly see the details of the mysterious assassin’s flesh dissolving in the light.
Both the scouting Alchemy Puppets and the Deep Sea Monster Fish conveyed the outco of the assassin’s death.
Soon, the City Lord of Snowbird Port, while cleaning up the battlefield, sent a ssage over.
He had a Mage Tower’s proof.
Breath Calculation thod and other asures confird that the assassin had been brought to justice.
“A Golden Level just fell like that!” Queshan sighed, hand on chest, feeling sowhat unreal.
But Zong Ge nodded, “That’s quite reasonable.”
“The City Lord of Snowbird Port, the Sea Bird Bishop, both are Golden Level, the two of them working together had already surpassed the mysterious assassin.”
“In this battle, they succeeded in a surprise attack, preparations were ample, they completely seized the initiative.”
“Three Magic Teams, capable of casting Golden Level spells beyond their levels, can be regarded as the combat power of two Golden Levels.”
“The Mage Tower’s final stroke was ritorious, its strength far surpasses that of a normal Golden Level Mage.”
“A simple calculation, at least five Golden Level combat powers ganged up on the mysterious assassin, if the latter couldn’t escape, his downfall was to be expected.”
“However, the key point is, the Mage Tower’s attack was neat and clean; at the critical mont, the criminal’s Combat Skill failed. If not for that, there might have been a fight. The assassin should have had a powerful thod, which he didn’t get to use.”
“But this is real combat, not all participants can fully utilize their strengths.”
“This is the charm of war,” Zong Ge said with emotion.
“This is also the charm of strategy,” the Dragon-man youth was silent, having many insights in his heart.
His perspective was different from Zong Ge.
This ti, as the leader of the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps, facing an overpowering enemy that could not be countered, he could only seek external assistance.
The outco of the help was very good!
Without spending a single soldier, the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps resolved the mysterious assassin.
The key was, almost all the risks in this process were undertaken by the City Lord of Snowbird Port.
The Dragon Lion rcenary Corps only needed to watch from the sidelines.
The benefits after the battle were also secured.
At least, the Golden Level longbow and harpoon were left behind in the ruins of the poverty caves.
The mysterious assassin didn’t manage to take them during his breakout.
“In the future, dealing with enemies doesn’t necessarily an doing it personally.”
“Sotis, using diplomacy appropriately can be more ti-efficient, labor-saving, and reduce risks.”
“The reason the City Lord of Snowbird Port was able to help this ti was primarily due to the exchange of interests.”
“Next, it’s my turn to exert effort to help him deal with the Saber Gang.”
The City Lord of Snowbird Port’s elimination of the mysterious assassin earned him the most basic trust of the Dragon-man youth.
“At least their relationship is not that of allies, but of enemies.”
“It also ans that the City Lord of Snowbird Port is most likely genuinely intending to deal with the Saber Gang.”
“The Sea Bird Bishop was also present, participating in the battle. The position of City Lord of Snowbird Port rotates, but the Sea Bird Bishop is a long-term appointnt.”
“Moreover, there is the constraint of a Magic Contract between my side and the City Lord of Snowbird Port.”
While the three Magic Teams were still cleaning up the battlefield, the City Lord of Snowbird Port, first taking the two Golden Level weapons, ca to the sea.
Onboard the Triangular Love Ship, he received a warm reception from the Dragon-man youth.
From the hands of the City Lord of Snowbird Port, the Dragon-man youth took the two Golden Level weapons.
The City Lord of Snowbird Port apologized, “Unfortunately, only these two were reclaid. His residence, the underground, were all searched. The rest of the stolen goods were probably destroyed by the Decomposition Light.”
The Dragon-man youth shook his head, “According to our Magic Contract before the operation, City Lord, you have done your utmost. Your sincerity is witnessed by all.”
The City Lord of Snowbird Port took a deep look at the longbow and harpoon.
He was curious as to how the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps pinpointed the mysterious assassin.
Before coming, he had used thods to check the longbow and harpoon, with no results.
“Could it be that they tampered with that set of Golden Level darts?” The City Lord of Snowbird Port didn’t know that all three Golden Level pieces had tracking devices.
But combined, Deception and Disguise Skill and Anti-Intelligence Prophecy Skill had unparalleled effects.
Even under his watch, he couldn’t detect them.
Effective and secretive thods of investigation made the City Lord of Snowbird Port regard the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps even higher.
The Dragon-man youth asked if the identity of the mysterious assassin could be confird as Hua Tang?
The City Lord of Snowbird Port shook his head: Based on the existing evidence, it’s entirely unverifiable. It could be Hua Tang, but he didn’t want to take the risk of reporting it as such.
If it wasn’t, the negative impact would be even greater.
The day had fully brightened.
The docks were bustling with people, and the morning market was thriving. Many were discussing last night’s battle.
A thrilling night had passed, the situation in Snowbird Port had changed drastically.
But like a drama, the climax was about to unfold.
The ships of the Dragon Lion rcenary Corps were once again slowly entering the harbor.
The City Lord of Snowbird Port and he stood side by side at the bow, both figures drawing a great deal of attention.
The key actors were already in place!
