"Saxony, So they have been raising some assassins for their work, huh."
"Ironic coming from a kingdom that hires people to fight its own battles."
In the confrontation between the white-black cloak-wearing assassins from Saxony who had just ambushed Lucius, he was able to dodge his surprise attack and dealt a swallow blow to his chest. His coat was filled with blood but he was still standing.
"So want do you want?"
"Nothing, just your BLOOD."
The conversation ended with the exchange as Lucius brought out his sheath and threw it at the assassin. He was still standing and he swung his sword cutting the sheath in half.
"!!"
The rush at Lucius constantly switching attack styles had pushed Lucius to the defence.
He dodged and blocked the attacks until the assassin started to go slow due to the first attack.
"ha..ha.hu.."
The assassin was breathing through his mouth now. This exposed his physical fatigue.
"Now!"
Lucius saw the opportunity and kicked the assassins who dodged the attacks and backed off, going as much as 5 meters away.
"Seems, I'll be dying here. I make sure to take myself with you."
The assassin saying these words quickly drew a crossbow from his coat and fired it right at Lucius.
"AHHHHH!" A scream was heard throw out the hallway as the blood spouted from the wound where the crossbow had pierced through half of the skin.
"You finally became a useful old man." The old man Lucius had dragged with him was used as a human shield to protect himself.
The assassin seeing an old man with such pain in sorrow on his face got angry and threw away his crossbow. Lucius could see right through his moment and went in to attack the assassin.
"!!!'
The assassin was panting and looking numb, it was the perfect opportunity. Lucius rushed as he brought his arm forward going for a thrust attack.
Before the exhausted assassin could even swing his sword, Lucius pierced his head with the sword. the initials of the assassin could easily be seen but due to the battle rush, Lucius was completely okay with seeing such gore.
"He wasn't much strong from his wings but he was too agile and durable. they could-"
- Lucius instantly shut his mouth after hearing footsteps nearby. He grabbed the old mad pit hands on his mouth to prevent him from saying anything. He leaned against the open hallway wall using the old man as a shield to protect himself from an assault.
"sir Lucius!" a call said he came to Lucius's ears as he got the idea of his soldiers arriving at the situation. He released the old man and arrived in front of their soldiers.
"What the hell is going on? I have just been attacked by an assassin of Saxony."
" It's a RAMPAGE sir, all the soldiers are being killed- watch out."
A soldier pushed Lucius out of the way he was himself stabbed with a cross-shot right at his heart.
'!!"
The group turned around to face the other assassins who just fired the shot, quickly refilling his crossbow.
"Why you?"
The archer and crossbow shooter came afront and charged a volley at him while forming a protecting barrier for Lucius. The assassin jumped to the side to dodge the attack but two arrows were able to hit his leg.
"Capture him, right now."
the Soldier armed with swords threw themselves at the hidden assassin but instead of hiding he came running at the soldier with his sword and started slashing them apart.
"This is not an assassin, it's a 'Mane" right from hell."
The assassin moved like an animal killing soldiers here and there, arrows were fired directly at him but he didn't stop any moment and kept moving forward.
The assassin's body lay on the floor dead but before that he killed nearly 11 British soldiers in his fury. The morale of Brittanian forces was down after this brawl but they didn't have any time to stop.
"How many have been captured or killed till now?"
"8, SIR. A report says 11 of these arrived at the port today."
Lucius was totally cleared of the reaming two assassins' locations.
"IS the battle report hearing still going on."
"Yes, sir."
"collect as many soldiers as completely surround the courthouse. Kill anybody who comes out or tries to enter until I GIVE ORDER TO NOT TO."
'Yes, sir..."
Lucius didn't ask why the meeting was didn't interrupted, all these were distractions the real deal was at the courthouse
