Lord Wizard

Chapter 72 Assassination

The wizarding world is fraught with danger.

Becoming addicted to the wizarding world can even lead to death.

However, due to confidentiality regulations and the desire not to worry Lin Luo, Lin Meng could not explain.

"Brother Lin Meng is right, we should focus on our studies now."

Alice was a little disappointed, but she still nodded.

"I really don't know what kind of impact it will have on the public when the wizarding world is completely open like other countries."

Lin Meng sighed inwardly.

After dinner, Lin Meng accompanied the two to continue strolling around the mall, but the 100,000 yuan expenditure had already scared Lin Luo, and she refused to buy anything else.

As it was getting late, Lin Meng took Lin Luo back to the subway station for her return to school, and then went back to her apartment herself.

"I really don't have enough money."

Lin Meng glanced at the balance message he received on his phone, then his gaze fell on the connector.

I need to keep going to the Wizarding World to make money.

……

Time passed as Linmon continued to integrate the city of Solent, and half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lin Meng, in the study, looked at the map hanging on the wall and pondered quietly.

He is considering his next step in his career development.

It was clearly no longer feasible to launch another attack on the territory within the Kingdom of Aden. Having finally managed to stabilize the Aden royal family and occupy the city of Solent, attacking other territories of the Kingdom of Aden without a major reason would likely provoke the royal family's wrath, and even if he and Nero joined forces, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure from above.

"Perhaps we could have a match against the Perseus Alliance."

Looking at the map on the wall, Lin Meng spoke slowly.

Just as Blue Flame Company was plotting to conquer the Frost Kingdom and try to control it, the Kingdom of Aden was also a target of the Rising Sun Group, while their real base was the Pusius Alliance.

The administrative system of the Psius Alliance differs from that of the kingdoms. It is composed of six principalities, forming a parliamentary system of governance. In terms of strength, it is even superior to the kingdoms of Aden and Frost.

However, alliances composed of multiple countries also have their drawbacks, namely, that once a major event occurs, there will be endless debates in parliament.

Due to internal attrition, the Perseus Alliance is slightly inferior to a centralized kingdom in terms of both response speed and combat potential.

Similarly, because it was a six-nation alliance, the entire territory of the Perseus Alliance was far larger than that of the two kingdoms of Aiadin and Frost, reaching an astonishing five million square kilometers.

Currently, the Sunrise Group has controlled two principalities of the Pusius Alliance, and the other two principalities are also very friendly towards it. It can be said that the entire Pusius Alliance has fallen into the hands of the Sunrise Group.

"The Perseus Alliance is a behemoth. If I attract their attention, they could easily crush me. However, since the company and the Sunrise Group have officially gone to war, the Siri Free Alliance and the Sariel Kingdom, which the company controls, have also declared war on the Perseus Alliance. With the Perseus Alliance's main force tied down, it might not be a bad idea for me to sneak over and take advantage of them..."

Lin Meng pondered.

Just then, Lin Meng suddenly felt a pang of fear, as if some danger was approaching.

Without any hesitation, he suddenly leaped and rushed into a blind spot in the study.

"Bang!"

A loud bang.

A meter-long crossbow bolt tore through the study window, pierced through the spot where he had just stood, and shot into the map hanging on the wall with undiminished force, raising a cloud of dust.

"The Slaughterer!"

Lin Meng's expression changed as he looked at the uniquely shaped giant arrow.

He was in the lord's manor, in his study, and yet he was targeted by a crossbow of the Butcher. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been killed on the spot by that arrow.

This is the Slayer, a heavy weapon specifically developed to kill Grand Knights. The Grand Knight's life force field, which can withstand ordinary arrows, is like paper in front of the Slayer ballista.

"There's an assassin!"

These were the exclamations of alarm from the guards outside.

Lin Meng turned around and saw two people rushing towards him at high speed, easily shaking off the guards in the mansion.

"Two great knights!"

Lin Meng's expression was grave; he could sense the powerful life force emanating from the two of them from a great distance.

"Both the Slayer and the Grand Knight, who exactly wants to kill me, the Rising Sun Group?"

He has offended many forces, but there are very few that can send two Grand Knights at the same time.

and……

They were able to transport the ballistae to the lord's manor...

There's definitely a mole working on this!

With that thought in mind, Lin Meng didn't retreat but advanced, drawing his long sword and heading straight to meet the enemy.

Two great knights, one of whom was over two meters tall and wielded a huge iron hammer, brought the hammer down the moment Lin Meng was within their attack range.

"Prepare to die."

A strong wind howled!

That speed and power...

"High-ranking Grand Knight".

Lin Meng stepped back, dodging the attack from the high-ranking knight.

"Bang!"

The hammer slammed into the ground, instantly shattering the stones and sending countless fragments flying everywhere.

"call out!"

Another great knight suddenly lunged forward, his cross-shaped sword flashing like a streak of light as he stabbed at Lin Meng.

"when!"

Flames burst forth.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Lin Meng blocked with his sword, and the two exchanged blows in an instant.

"His strength has reached the intermediate level, but his speed during that thrust was at the advanced level..."

Lin Meng judged the strength of his opponent in the blink of an eye.

Two high-ranking knights joined forces...

Even if Nero were here, he would probably be forcibly killed by the two of them.

"That's quite a grand gesture!"

Lin Meng suddenly burst into speed, and with a bang, the bluestone slab on the ground was cracked by his foot. His figure flew like an arrow and rushed towards the great knight holding the cross sword.

"court death!"

Seeing that Lin Meng dared to take to the air, the burly knight followed suit and leaped into the air.

Its enormous size surprisingly displayed unusual agility, as it unleashed its giant hammer, aiming to intercept and kill Lin Meng in mid-air.

The great knight wielding the cross sword also met Lin Meng, who was flying towards him, without hesitation.

The two attacked from the left and the front, perfectly combining their attacks and almost completely sealing off Lin Meng's space to dodge.

Just as the three were about to collide, the dark green ring on Lin Meng's hand flashed with light, having been activated by his mind.

"Bang!"

A flash of dark blue flame appeared and swept straight toward the burly knight.

"A demonized item!"

The burly knight was not surprised at all, and probably already knew that Lin Meng had a demonized item on him.

Faced with the exploding flames, he retreated rapidly, simultaneously activating his life force field to its limit, and slammed the iron hammer in his hand into the flames.

While using the demonized artifact to stop the burly knight, Lin Meng leaped out, his toes touching the ground, his already extreme speed exploding to its limit in an instant.

At the same time, the sword in his hand also erupted!

A sword strike as swift as lightning!

"This speed..."

The great knight wielding the cross-shaped sword paled in shock and tried to intercept Lin Meng's sword with lightning speed, but...

That sword strike was too fast!

The Great Knight's extreme agility made this sword strike fast enough to exceed the knight's reaction limit.

Although the person before him was a great knight, he was still unable to dodge the lightning-fast burst of this sword strike.

"Sizzle!"

The sharp sword light pierced the great knight's head in an instant, and the terror in his eyes vanished abruptly.
