The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

With that in mind, Antovia decided to go over and make contact with them.

Just then, Antovia keenly sensed that about fifteen mages were lurking in the shadows of the rocks behind the bushes not far away.

They held their daggers upside down and their faces were covered; they looked exactly like assassins specializing in killing.

Could it be that they're going to lay a hand on the students?

Antovia was not a noblewoman, nor did she have any relatives or friends studying or working at the academy.

However, Miss Tracy is very likely inside.

If their goal is truly to take action against the academy's camp, then she can't pretend she didn't see it.

Chapter 115 Claire's First Glimpse of Talent

"I didn't expect your medicine to be so effective."

"Just that small bottle was enough to give medicine to so many horses for three days."

Benson hid in the shadows behind a rock, holding a poisoned dagger upside down.

The other assassination specialist mage beside Benson chuckled after hearing his praise: "If you hadn't specifically instructed me to control the dosage of the drug, I could have turned the entire convoy into corpses."

Benson quickly said, "Alright, if we poison them to death, how are we going to explain this to Lady Yvette?"

"Just poison the horses so they can't run fast, that will make it easier for us to take action."

To Benson's surprise, these people didn't camp in the town, but instead came to this desolate wilderness, practically delivering meat to their mouths.

I was worried that if we took action in town, we would have to go through some trouble to keep it a secret.

That's great, I can finally focus all my energy on myself.

Hahaha, I wonder who led this team, they're incredibly stupid.

What Benson didn't know was that Victor had initially planned to place the base on the outskirts of town, but the carriages were slower than he had imagined, so he had to choose a relatively open location instead.

Benson told the assassins that only half of the students needed to survive.

The rest couldn't be taken away, so we just killed them.

The assassins checked the daggers and hidden weapons one by one to ensure that the poison on them would kill with a single blow, and then, under the cover of night, slowly approached the camp.

Victor and the students in the tent were completely unaware of this.

Several male students were about to get up in the middle of the night when an assassin struck them squarely on the back of the head, knocking them unconscious.

These assassins had a clear division of labor: several people were tasked with restraining Victor, while others were responsible for killing the coachman and the carriage, preventing the students from escaping. The rest then went to finish off the students who offered little resistance.

The assassination of the coachmen went very smoothly; a few poisoned blowgun darts sent them silently to the ground, where they fell into eternal sleep.

When killing the horses, they were swift and decisive, throwing several poison darts to completely disable the caravan's mobility.

Victor was still chatting with the students and didn't notice this. The students on the periphery were knocked unconscious one after another, and it looked like the assassins were about to infiltrate the camp.

Just then, a gifted student sensed a barely perceptible flow of magical energy. Looking in the direction of this flow, he saw an assassin raising a dagger, aiming straight for a classmate's neck!

"stop!"

The moment the words left his mouth, a magical missile was launched straight at the assassin!

However, how could a seasoned assassin, who had just learned magic, possibly be able to strike?

The magic missile was unsurprisingly dodged by the assassin, but one student was saved.

The entire camp erupted in chaos amidst the explosion of the magic missiles!

Victor, who was talking with his classmates, suddenly stood up and realized that several assassins had already infiltrated the camp!

Many students were knocked unconscious!

"alert!!!"

"Everyone!"

"alert!!!"

Victor tried to illuminate the night sky with his flames to see how many people had sneaked in. But before he could cast the spell, he felt a cool breeze brush against his neck. He quickly rolled forward, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

Five assassins had already surrounded Victor, their magic condensing in their palms, and their daggers gleaming coldly.

Beneath their loose trench coats lay countless deadly poisonous darts, each capable of taking a life with a mere sliver of skin.

These people are all three-circuit mages. Although they don't know the kind of large-scale destructive magic, they are more skilled at assassination.

Agile and skilled in combat.

Surrounded by several people, Victor was already struggling to protect himself and had no ability to save the students.

Fortunately, Claire and Maggie were among the students.

Claire manipulated the flames with one hand, causing several fire snakes to rise from the ground and spew furious flames at all enemies. With her other hand, she flicked her wrist, summoning the magical artifact Red Queen, which she had obtained during the strength assessment.

He drew back the bowstring, conjuring a flaming arrow, and aimed it at the assassin who was trying to kill his classmate not far away.

"Den!"

There was only a muffled sound!

With the Red Queen's three different attribute modules, the flaming arrows transformed into ten flying arrows the moment they left the bow, hurtling towards the assassin from all directions!

The assassin naturally noticed this and retreated repeatedly in an attempt to dodge.

What the assassin could never have imagined was that the Red Queen's arrows possessed a light-attribute tracking effect! Moreover, the light attribute helped to smooth the trajectory, making the arrows extremely fast!

In the blink of an eye, after a series of sharp turns that the human eye could not even catch, he struck the assassin!

The assassin, who wasn't wearing heavy armor, was blasted to pieces by the flames!

The assassins were stunned, and so was Benson.

What exactly is that thing in the female student's hand?!

How come the arrows that were shot were tracking targets?!

However, before Benson and the others could finish their surprise, Maggie also appeared from the other side.

Flames erupted from the soles of the boots, sending out a wave of heat!

Accelerated by the heatwave, Maggie's speed almost reached a level that only lightning-attribute mages could achieve!

After several boosts, Maggie caught up with an assassin who was trying to escape.

He raised his foot and kicked him directly in the ribs!

The excruciating pain caused the assassin to lose his balance and fall to the ground. Before he could even get up, a long, fiery whip lashed his neck, snapping him instantly.

"classmates!"

"Remember what you learned in the academy!"

"Don't let the assassins' movements distract you from your judgment, move as fast as you can!"

The magic of emotion burned around Claire, illuminating the entire tent.

He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, single-handedly killing several assassins in succession!

At the same time, Claire didn't forget to loudly remind her classmates.

This move completely ignited the students' will to fight back.

"We are students of the magic academy! We are not unarmed; we have the magic taught to us by our instructors and the combat experience they have imparted to us!"

"Activate the magic, let's fight!"

At this moment, Claire, like Phoenix Mia in the mural, burned with passion, leading her classmates to sound the horn of counterattack.

The assassins hadn't expected these students to be so troublesome.

Especially that female student with the bow, she's even harder to deal with than Victor!

That bow in her hand is incredibly powerful!

"Oh shit!"

Benson cursed.

The assassination attempt was doomed from the moment it was counterattacked.

They are assassins, not soldiers tasked with assaulting enemy lines.

The students, who were originally in complete disarray, have rebuilt their defensive lines under the leadership of Claire and Maggie.

They have lost their chance.

The only thing we can do right now is to retreat with the students who have been knocked unconscious!

But the moment that thought popped into his head, the surrounding ground churned up!

Countless war game pieces made of solidified rock appeared around the entire camp, surrounding everyone!

These chess pieces have a human appearance, wear armor, are huge, and follow the chess hierarchy.

Royal Guard, Knights, Bishops.

Chariot, queen, king.

A woman wearing long boots and a military cap, holding a scepter, stood on the arm that the king had raised.

Like a queen looking down from above!

She coldly stared at the assassins and uttered words that plunged Benson's heart into despair.

"Royal Guards, advance! Strangle them!"

They watched as the massive Imperial Guards, over two meters tall, slowly approached them, wielding long, rocky swords.

Benson's heart sank completely.

They're finished.

Although these wargames appear to move slowly, they form an invisible, magical network with each other.
