The fat assassin scrambled to hide behind the stone steps of the monastery. After confirming that he was safe, he sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at his own arm in fear ….
A long gash had appeared on his arm, and blood was gushing out. A few seconds ago, an arrow had almost pierced through his arm. If he had not dodged the arrow and changed the direction of his attack, the sword that was aimed at the Temple Guard would not have missed its target and pierced through his heart!

In the three-man assassination team, the fat assassin's main role was to 'support' and 'cover'. The strongest among the three was the assassin who had already charged into the monastery. The fat assassin and his comrade were more for the 'last hit'. Today, almost all the guards in the monastery were deployed, and the defense was unprecedentedly weak. Such an opportunity was hard to come by, and there was no way they would fail. But at this moment, his mood was at rock bottom, because all his plans were disrupted by the sudden arrows!
The fat assassin had long seen the arrow as a warning, and was already on high alert. So when the battle started, he tried to hide behind a few innocent civilians, and when the enemy did not make a move, he was slightly relieved. He did not treat the enemy as an effective threat. But when he attacked the temple guard, he did not expect the arrow to be so accurate, and it could even be said that it directly sealed off his attack path!
He would rather believe that it was a coincidence, but after experiencing countless life and death situations, he did not believe that there were any 'coincidences' in a battle of life and death …
Maybe, there was really a powerful person watching this place.
"Quick, dodge!"
With that thought in mind, he was worried about his comrade who was fighting with the two mercenaries. He shouted from behind the stone steps as a warning, but the only reply he got was the sound of weapons clashing, followed by the dull sound of blades cutting into flesh …
The sound made Fatty's heart skip a beat. With his back against the stone, he immediately wanted to see what was going on. He tilted his head slightly and looked out of the stone, but when his face was halfway out, he suddenly had a bad premonition. A black shadow appeared in his field of vision almost at the same time. Without thinking, he immediately retracted his head, but a spray of blood still spurted out!
"Rip!"
In that split second, the spinning arrow brushed past his plump cheek, almost splitting his face open!
Because the arrow was constantly rotating in the air, the double-edged arrowhead directly tore off a large piece of flesh from his face. Blood gushed out and instantly covered half of his clothes. The burning pain made him scream in pain, but he did not dare to get up and retaliate. Because he did not have a long-range weapon in his hand, he did not even know where the other party was!
What made the fat assassin even more terrified was that the moment he peeked his head out, he happened to see the face of his comrade …
The two mercenaries' weapons were embedded in the last assassin's neck and chest. The sharp axes almost chopped off his head, while the curved swords were inserted into his abdomen. It looked like a fatal wound.
And the reason for all of this was completely because of the arrow that had pierced through his thigh … Obviously, he had revealed a fatal flaw because of the arrow!
It was that Archer hiding in the dark again! It's him again!
"Damn it!"
The fat assassin who was hiding behind the rock clenched the dagger in his hand. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his arm and face. He had never confronted an archer on such a complicated terrain. After living on the edge of a knife for so many years, he had completed no less than thirty assassination missions. No matter what, he was experienced and knowledgeable. But for an archer to have such a terrifying "suppression" was still something he had never heard of!
In the eyes of modern people, the ones who held the high ground and had the most deterrent power were not the archers, but the "snipers" with rifles. But in the Middle Ages, the deterrent power of the "bow" could not be compared to the rifle at all. Unless they formed an arrow formation and launched a mass shot, a skilled assassin would not be afraid of an archer!
But with three well-timed arrows, not only the assassin, but everyone present, including Len and Booker who witnessed everything from afar, could see how terrifying this guy hiding in the dark was!
Every time he shot, he would definitely hit a vital point. It was true that "arrows never missed their target".
After the two mercenaries killed the assassin, they looked at each other and understood that the archer hiding in the dark was on their side. They immediately chose to rush towards the monastery gate. One of them even raised his hand and threw his weapon to the guard who had been disarmed and kicked away. He bent down to pick up a long sword from the ground and shouted, "Hurry up and help!"
The latter adjusted his slightly crooked helmet and immediately got up and rushed towards the church. He wanted to find the assassin who had already rushed into the church. But at this moment, a scream of "Ah!" came from the front hall of the church. Then, a white figure flew out and rolled three or four times before falling down the stone steps of the front hall.
The white robe was torn, and a delicate body fell in front of the church. When everyone saw that it was Sally, the chaotic monastery fell into a moment of silence.
What broke the silence was a large number of flowerpots that suddenly fell in front of the three-story mansion not far away.
The cracking sound made Booker and the others turn to look. Then, they suddenly saw the figure standing in the shadow of the windowsill. The figure pushed away the flowerpots that blocked their vision and shot, and directly raised the short bow in his hand!
At this moment, there were only various kinds of questions in everyone's mind. Len and the others did not understand why Sally, who had rushed into the church earlier, was hit and sent flying. The assassin hiding behind the stone steps did not understand why his remaining companion did not directly kill the daughter of Duke in the house …
*****
Back to a minute ago.
Before the assassin who was fighting with the mercenaries outside the monastery was hacked to death, Sally had already rushed into the church. From the moment the crossbow arrow flew past her back until now, a total of less than half a minute had passed. In this half a minute, she calmly ordered the friars to assist the guards in an effective counterattack, and asked the nuns to seek help from the priest and bishop. The entire process was extremely efficient and without the slightest bit of sloppiness.
When Sally ran into the church, she actually heaved a sigh of relief in her heart because there were usually at least four guards on duty inside the church. She expected that these guards would definitely help her get out of danger at this time.
But when she looked around, her heart instantly turned cold, because there were no guards in the entire church, except for a dozen or so believers who were standing up curiously and looking outside …
There was no need for Bishop Benjamin to inform a nun like Sally about the arrangement of the guards today. Moreover, no one had ever dared to attack the monastery, so Sally had no idea that all the guards in the monastery had been mobilized today. This situation even gave Sally the illusion that all the guards in the monastery had been bribed by Francis!
But time did not allow her to make other conjectures. In a split second, she decided to pass through the church to the house at the back. Apart from the guards, Bishop Benjamin would definitely be able to provide her with protection. But when she looked up, she saw that the road in front of her … was completely blocked by the believers who had gotten up and were walking out.
The seats in the middle of the church were divided into two sections. In the middle was an aisle that was only one and a half meters wide. If she wanted to go to the back door of the church, the fastest way was to go through the aisle in the middle. Otherwise, she would have to go around the two sides of the seats. But at this time, the aisle in the middle was blocked by five or six believers who got up and were walking out. Sally just took a glance and knew that if she rushed over, she would probably be caught by the assassins before she could get through!
The footsteps behind her were getting closer.
Sally knew that she had no time to hesitate. She took a deep breath and ran towards the slightly longer route on the right side. She had just run a few steps when she heard a scream behind her. But Sally did not look back. Instead, she reached out and grabbed the back of the chair to offset the inertia of her body turning abruptly. After confirming that there were no obstacles in front of her, she turned her head and glanced sideways …
Not far away, a flash of sword light flashed. It was the assassin who had directly cut down an innocent believer who could not dodge in time.
The assassin had obviously determined Sally's intention at this time, so he took a shortcut and ran, ready to stop Sally before she ran to the back door of the church. Because of his high level and valiant strength, his running speed was obviously faster than Sally's. Even the bystanders could see that Sally would definitely not be able to outrun this assassin …
Similarly aware of this, Sally decisively grabbed the heavy wooden chair to stop her body. She then turned around and ran in the opposite direction from where she came from. If she continued to run to the back door, she would undoubtedly die. At this time, she had no other choice but to 'gamble' that the guards at the front door had already resolved the danger and still had the strength to help her out of this predicament …
The assassin also stopped in his tracks. He held a longsword in his hand. Even though he didn't say anything, the way he stared at Sally and the murderous look in his eyes made it clear who this fellow's target was. That was why a priest in the church who happened to be there immediately reacted to Crazy's cries of 'help' and 'assassination'.
This priest's divine power was considered good in the monastery. From the player's point of view, he was also a guy with a base level of 10 and advanced to 'Holy Priest' Level 2. Although he did not know many skills, he was still an advanced priest, so he immediately began to recite prayers and successfully cast the divine spell 'Binding of Light' when the assassin was ten meters behind Sally.
Golden chains materialized out of thin air and abruptly appeared around the assassin's body. They tightened in an instant. The assassin was startled and his running speed abruptly slowed down, almost crashing into the rows of wooden chairs beside him. But the 'Wandering Swordsman' had the effect of 'Battle Stance' which increased resistance to control spells/skills by 15% ', so this level 1' Binding of Light 'only flashed on his body for a moment before he then used his arms to break free!
Turning his head to look at the priest, the assassin did not pay any attention to him at all and continued to chase after Sally. Obviously, he knew that the priest was not a threat to him at all, so he chose to kill Sally first!
He took a few big steps, his body suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with Sally who was running desperately in front of him. Facing this' prey 'who no longer had the ability to resist, he swung his sword and was about to cut Sally in half. But when the blade was still thirty centimeters away from Sally, a golden shield suddenly blocked her side …
"Holy Shield!"
"Go to hell —"
The priest said the name of this defensive divine spell, but the assassin also shouted the first word since he entered the church with a roar, and then he swung his sword horizontally, hitting Sally with no mistake in strength or angle …
"Bang!"
The golden light flashed, and after absorbing 180 damage, the level 1 'Holy Shield' shattered into pieces in the air with a crack. Then, the assassin's long sword hit Sally's back …
Even if the power was reduced by the shield, the strength of the blade was still not something Sally could resist. She involuntarily screamed, and her whole body flew out, falling straight down the steps in front of the church.
The assassin standing in the church had already slightly raised the corner of his mouth. He believed that after taking a solid hit from the sword, even if Sally did not die, she would certainly end up with irrecoverable injuries. He walked out of the church confidently, but the confidence on his face was immediately replaced by astonishment …
His companion outside the door of the monastery was lying in a pool of blood, and the other was hiding behind the stone like a mouse, his face and body covered in blood!
"What happened? You — "
Before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened!
