Chapter 322: In Position
“The situation is in our favor. If things continue like this, the culprit will be brought to justice!” Lan Zao watched the battle for a long time and saw that the mysterious assassin was unable to escape, so he couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.
But Zong Ge slowly shook his head, his face calm: "Although the battle between the two is fierce, neither of them has used powerful techniques. The outcome of the battle is still unclear, and it is far from over."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a shocking scene unfold in the magic image.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord's short staff pierced the mysterious assassin's chest.
The mysterious assassin's heart was crushed, and he died on the spot.
The dragonman youngster and Zong Ge both frowned at the same time, sensing that something was wrong.
In the next moment, the mysterious assassin's body reverted to an alchemy puppet.
Obviously, this was a gold level alchemy puppet, whose quality and grade far exceeded the materials used in the Love Triangle.
The survivors' hearts trembled, and they all shared the same doubt—
“Where is the real assassin?”
Fortunately, the city Lord's side made the right response.
The Sea Bird Bishop unleashed his divine spell and saw through the mysterious assassin's true identity.
“Kill him!” The big guy couldn't help but shout.
He knew that the mysterious assassin was an enemy of the mercenary group.
When the mysterious assassin was in action, he was still asleep. After waking up, he learned everything that had happened from the others.
With the three gold level fighters fighting together, the mysterious assassin's situation became even more disadvantageous.
Suddenly, another unexpected change occurred.
The damaged alchemy puppet suddenly sprang up and jumped toward the edge of the battlefield.
Then, the mysterious assassin's “true identity” was revealed. He tore off his disguise and fought with all his might, disregarding his energy consumption, desperately entangling the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord.
“I didn't expect the assassin's true identity to be the alchemy puppet from earlier?”
"What kind of trick is this? It's one thing to disguise himself as an alchemy puppet and fool us, but he actually fooled the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord and the Sea Bird Bishop too!"
“This assassin is really something.”
The mysterious assassin's tactics greatly surprised the survivors.
It was a plan within a plan!
This move alone showed that the mysterious assassin was no ordinary person.
“We can't let him get away!” Seeing that the assassin was about to break through, the dragonman youngster subconsciously stood up, looking anxious.
"It's too late to stop him. Everyone's attention is focused on the battle with the three magic teams, and their position is not ideal." Zong Ge sighed heavily.
Zi Di hurriedly controlled some scout alchemy puppets, attempting to intercept the mysterious assassin's escape route.
However, it was evident that the distance was too great.
The mysterious assassin's tactics were astonishing, and his intellect was also remarkable, deceiving everyone.
Just as he was about to succeed, a bright green beam of light suddenly shot toward him from a distant location outside the battlefield.
The magician tower!
Hope rose again in everyone's eyes.
The mysterious assassin was already on guard, his aura rising, but in the next moment, his battle skill failed.
The splitting beam hit the mysterious assassin squarely.
His defenses were completely split in an instant, and he fell dead on the spot!
Only the fragments of the silver fox mask remained, falling to the ground, and then quickly disintegrating completely.
The big guy raised his arms and shouted, "He's dead, he's dead. The villain has been defeated!"
Qiao Shan exhaled a breath of stale air, patted her chest, and smiled broadly, “Finally, we no longer have to live in fear.”
Zi Di sneered, “This is the fate of those who steal our property.”
The dragonman youngster and Zong Ge fell silent for a moment, saying nothing.
Bai Ya sighed and spoke the thoughts of many at that moment, “This is the magician tower, how powerful!”
A gold level magician tower was far more powerful than a magician of the same level.
It was the absolute core of the city's defense system.
Don't be fooled by its location on the dock which was far away from the battlefield.
Its attack range was very wide and could completely cover the slums.
Territory with a magician tower had an entirely different level of defense.
Tripleblade frowned as he looked at the magic image, his face showing hesitation: “Is the culprit really dead?”
The survivors all had the same concern.
The mysterious assassin was highly skilled in using alchemy puppets, employing them to achieve tactical objectives during the previous dock assassination and the recent fierce battle.
“It must be his true body!” Zi Di replayed the magic image, allowing everyone to clearly see the details of the mysterious assassin's flesh dissolving in the light.
Both the scout alchemy puppet and the Deep Sea Monster Fish conveyed the result of the assassin's death.
Soon, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord sent a message while cleaning up the battlefield.
He had proof from the magician tower.
The Aura Algorithm and other means confirmed that the culprit had been brought to justice.
“A gold level character has fallen just like that!” Qiao Shan sighed, covering her chest with her hand, feeling somewhat unreal.
Zong Ge nodded: “That's reasonable.”
“The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord and the Sea Bird Bishop are both gold level, and the two of them together are already superior to the mysterious assassin.”
“In this battle, they launched a successful surprise attack, were well prepared, and completely took the initiative.”
“The three magic teams can cast gold level spells beyond their level, which can be regarded as two gold level combat forces.”
“The magician tower's final blow was successful, and its strength far exceeded that of a normal gold level magician.”
“A simple calculation shows that at least five gold level combat forces surrounded and killed the mysterious assassin. If the latter couldn't escape, his demise was inevitable.”
"However, the most important thing is that the magician tower's blow was decisive, and the killer failed to use his battle skills at the critical moment. If this hadn't happened, he could still put up a fight. The murderer should have powerful means but didn't get to use them."
“But this is real combat, and not everyone has a chance to fully exert their strength in battle.”
“This is the charm of war.” Zong Ge was very moved.
“This is also the charm of strategy.” The dragonman youngster was silent, with many insights in his heart.
His perspective was different from Zong Ge's.
This time, as the leader of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, the dragonman youngster could only seek outside help when faced with an unbeatable enemy.
The result of seeking help was very good!
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps dealt with the mystery assassin without losing a single soldier.
The key point was that during this process, almost all the risks were borne by the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps only needed to stand by and watch.
The post-battle gains were also guaranteed.
At least, the gold level longbows and harpoons were left behind in the ruins of the slums.
When the mysterious assassin broke through, he didn't have time to take them with him.
“In the future, it won't necessarily be necessary to deal with enemies personally.”
“Sometimes, using diplomacy appropriately can save time and effort and reduce risks.”
“The reason why the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was able to help this time was mainly because of an exchange of interests.”
“Next, it's my turn to help him deal with the Bayonet Gang.”
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord eliminated the mysterious assassin, which earned him the basic trust of the dragonman youngster.
“At least the relationship between the two is not that of allies, but enemies.”
“This also means that the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord probably really wants to deal with the Bayonet Gang.”
"The Sea Bird Bishop was also present and participated in the entire battle. The position of Snow Bird Harbor City Lord is rotational, but the Sea Bird Bishop has been in office for a long time."
“Moreover, our side and the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord are bound by a magic contract.”
The three magic teams were still cleaning up the battlefield when the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord arrived at the sea with two gold level weapons.
On the Love Triangle, he received a warm welcome from the dragonman youngster.
The dragonman youngster took the two gold level weapons from the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord apologized, "Unfortunately, we only recovered these two. We searched his residence and the underground. The rest of the stolen property should have been destroyed by the disintegration ray."
The dragonman youngster shook his head, "According to the magic contract we made before the operation, City Lord, you have done your best. Your sincerity is obvious to all."
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord took a deep look at the longbow and harpoon.
He was very curious about how the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had located the mysterious assassin.
Before coming, he had used his methods to inspect the longbow and harpoon but found nothing.
“Could it be that they tampered with that set of gold level darts?” The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord did not know that the three pieces of gold level equipment all had tracking devices.
But the combination of the Anti-investigation and Prophecy spell and Deceptive Disguise spell was extremely effective.
Even under his very nose, he was unable to detect it.
The mysterious and effective reconnaissance methods made the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord look up to the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps even more.
The dragonman youngster asked him: Could the identity of the mysterious assassin be confirmed as Hua Tang?
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord shook his head. Based on the existing evidence, it was impossible to confirm. Perhaps it was Hua Tang, but he didn't want to risk reporting it that way.
If it wasn't, the negative impact would be even greater.
The sky was already completely bright.
The dock was crowded with people, and the morning market was bustling. Many people were discussing last night's battle.
After a thrilling night, the situation in Snow Bird Harbor had changed dramatically.
But just like in a play, the climax was about to unfold.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps' ships slowly sailed into the dock again.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord stood side by side with him at the bow of the ship, and the two of them attracted a lot of attention.
The key actors were in place!
