People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

Such was the professionalism of Sargon, a race born for assassination.

But they still underestimated everyone here.

The moment they moved, a tremendous amount of cold air suddenly surged from the other side of the earth, as if the cold wind from the non-ice field directly froze the Mantiko assassin, who was leaping in the air with his tail flashing purple-green cold light and piercing Amiya, into an ice cube in mid-air. Finally, the assassin, bound by gravity, fell to the ground and turned into a pile of broken ice.

Before the other assassin could jump up from the ground, pale, ferocious claws shot out from under the ground and grabbed his murderous tail tightly.

"I say, aren't you a little too contemptuous?"

Ascalon's figure gradually appeared behind the assassin, staring into the latter's trembling pupils, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

Click, click, click.

The crisp sound of bones breaking was heard in the assassin's limbs, and then he fell to the ground like a dead weight, along with several teeth containing poison. As an expert in assassination, Ascalon naturally knew what they would do after the mission failed, so he directly broke the teeth containing poison out of their mouths.

However, even though Frost Star in the distance and Oscarlon nearby had already taken action, there were still several assassins approaching Noah and Amiya. But before the latter two could make a move, a spear flew rapidly from a distance and directly pierced through the bodies of the three Mantikos, piercing into the ground with incredible momentum.

The three Manticores were hanging diagonally on the handles of the spears. The high temperature generated by the high-speed friction of the spears in the air even burned their wounds directly, and no blood could flow out.

"Mon3tr."

"Roar!"

The giant Originium beast swung its tail, and the three Mantikos were pierced through the chest by the giant tail. They lost their lives without even having the chance to wail.

At this time, there were still five Mantikos rushing towards Amiya, less than one meter away from the two targets. Their tails were already ready to move. As long as the tail stingers pierced into their bodies, the deadly poison would take their lives in an instant.

But the next second.

Pfft!

Without time to resist, the huge pulling force from behind caused the Mantiko assassins who were sprinting forward to fall flat on their faces (a burrowing animal usually trained for police and military use).

When they looked back, they saw a big, strong hand stretched out from the shadow under their feet and grabbed their ankles. Then a ferocious face emerged from the shadow. Under the gaze of its scarlet eyes, the Mantikos only had time to whimper before being dragged into the kingdom of shadows.

The whole process took no more than a minute, and the Manticore assassination team, which had just appeared and caused a small commotion around them, was completely wiped out. Only the one in Askalon's hand and the one hanging on the tail of the Ark were still alive.

"Your accomplices are not very good. Don't worry, they won't suffer too much, and neither will you."

Purple demonic energy was everywhere. Different from the demonic energy of fire that Noah had previously received, this demonic energy belonged to the earth and penetrated into Captain Mantiko's body like crazy. The docile sheep also displayed its violent power at this moment. All the memories in the soul of the captain of the Mantiko assassination team were flipped through by Fang Ark at an extremely fast speed, so that the latter's face had become like dementia before he could even let out a howl. The pair of emerald eyes that showed cruelty at the beginning and then filled with fear now became empty and lifeless.

Looking at the other person's silly face, Fang Zhou released his tail.

When the tail was released, the skin of the captain of the Mantiko assassination team had turned grayish white like earth and stone.

In full view of everyone, the captured Mantiko's skin and flesh turned into scattered dust as he fell. In the moment before he hit the ground, all the clothes on his body turned into scattered ashes, leaving a grayish-white pile on the ground.

Fang Zhou turned his head to look at Amiya and Noah who were looking at him. As he turned his head, the curious onlookers around him all took a step back. The impact of the huge body and ferocious face was too strong.

Just what kind of terrifying creature was this? The intimidation he brought to people just by standing there was far greater than any enemy they had ever faced.

"Doctor, how do you manage to look like this?"

Amiya looked at the Ark's current appearance and kept comparing it with all the races in her mind.

This is a dragon.

It was not Draco, but a dragon from Dayan. From its appearance, it could be seen that it was a dragon with a high degree of atavism, and it was probably even more atavistic than the Governor Wei she had seen.

“It was just a little magical experience.”

Ark summed it up in one word and turned the subject over, but Kal'tsit looked at Fang Ark with a gleam in her eyes. She was troubled by the fact that she only had a vague understanding of some of the plans of the previous civilization, and she didn't know whether this was one of their backup plans.

What kind of miraculous experience could transform the frail Doctor into the dragon with a strong body he has today?

Amiya didn't know the answer, while Noah beside her was looking at the tall figure with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

This is... what my mother said...

"Doctor, this is the only one left alive. I'm not sure how much I can get out of him."

The remaining assassination team member was thrown in front of Fang Zhou by Askalon like a toy, but Fang Zhou didn't even look at him. He directly covered his head with his tail, and the sheep spell turned the memory of the assassination team member in front of him upside down as before.

"He's no longer valuable. Get rid of him."

Skarlen was obviously a little bit dissatisfied with Fang Ark's seemingly sudden action, but then he saw Kal'tsit beside us nodding at him, and he nodded. Then a night bat flew over from the sky, grabbed Mantiko with his strong arms, and disappeared into the shadows.

"There are more of them."

After returning to his human appearance, Fang Zhou looked at the people around him who were slowly calming down and whispered to them.

"besides?"

Kal'tsit recalled the fifteen Mantiko killers just now. Although it seemed that they were easily dealt with, that was their situation.

If they were facing ordinary people or politicians who were not very powerful, it would be easy for such a large number of Mantiko killers to kill some people.

That is to say, she knew that they came from the future. Otherwise, Kal'tsit would probably want to know what they had done in Sargon that caused the King Chief to send so many Mantiko killers to assassinate them.

On the Sargon side, only the chieftain or even the pasha could send out such a large number of Mantikos at once. Apart from the chieftains and pashas, ​​other Sargon organizations would be considered powerful if they had an assassin as skilled as Mantiko.

"Doctor."

A weak voice came from the side. Fang Zhou turned around and saw a lion scorpion with a look of remorse on its face, with its tail wrapped around a Mantiko who had fallen to the ground and was unconscious, standing behind him.

"Lion Scorpion, are you okay?"

"Ah, well, I'm not injured. This fellow didn't notice me. I pierced his spine directly from behind, injected the poison, and then sent a communication to Miss Ascalon."

Pierce...the spine...

Although he had just searched the souls of two people and turned one of them into powder with the earth's magic energy, Fang Zhou still felt a little uncomfortable when the lovely girl in front of him said calmly that she had pierced the spine of a fellow tribesman with her tail spike.

"Then I thought I had time to ask more questions after I brought my men back, but then I heard Miss Ascalon say that this place seemed to have been attacked. I'm sorry, I didn't do my best and didn't discover their traces earlier."

This seemed quite self-blaming, but Fang Zhou patted her shoulder and said it didn't matter.

"Not all of their members are here. I just searched the captain's memory and found that there are nearly ten assassins hiding in this city. If the first batch of actions fails, they will lie dormant and wait for the next opportunity to strike. I have also identified their main messenger."

Fang Zhou said this and glanced at Noah.

"Minister, is it?"

"..."

"It seems that not all of you in the future share a common goal of unity."

After Fang Zhou finished speaking, he stroked his chin and looked at the assassin brought back by the lion scorpion. An idea popped up in his head, and he immediately stepped forward, and a flash of brown magic power appeared in his hand.

bump!

In an instant, the assassin suddenly jumped up, and the sharp tail instantly stabbed at Fang Zhou. The latter seemed to be shocked by the sudden change. Fortunately, the long purple tail rushed from the side, and the angle of the poisonous tail was deviated, allowing Fang Zhou to avoid the fatal blow, but the sharp poisonous thorn still pierced his cheek.

If the attack fails, flee immediately.

The Lion Scorpion had no time to stop him and could only watch as the assassin dodged dozens of spells cast by Frost Star who came to support him from afar and fled into the distance.

"Doctor! Are you okay?"

Only then did Amiya hurriedly step forward to check Fang Zhou's injuries. Although she said she was panicking, her hands were methodical as she took out a Band-Aid and put it on Fang Zhou's cheek. There was a very cute bunny pattern on the Band-Aid.

"It's okay, it's just a scratch."

"Doctor, no, Manticore's tail is poisonous. It must be treated immediately. The serum... the serum needs to be made with Manticore's venom. You can use mine."

Compared to Amiya who had already discovered some clues, the lion scorpion who was in self-blame was already in a panic. After seeing Mia being injured by the poisonous tail of the Mantiko assassin, he walked forward incoherently and reached out to take off the Band-Aid that Amiya had put on her.

But the next second, Fang Zhou grabbed her hand and stopped her movement.

"Don't panic, Scorpion. I'm fine. Manticore's poison is no match for a cold. I let that guy get away on purpose. Calm down."

"……deliberately?"

The lion scorpion wanted to say something, but the next second the white rabbit rushed over and held Fang Zhou's face to examine him carefully.

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt by that guy's tail?"

Amiya's eyes drooped, and the shadows from her bangs covered her lake blue eyes.

"Don't worry, let's go to the city hall first. Ascalon, have the Nightbats remain on alert. If there's any unusual movement, contact me, Amiya, or Kal'tsit immediately."

"understood."

Ascalon, who had already dealt with Namantiko, nodded, and then ordered the Night Bat Group patrolling in the air to increase the number of patrols and the frequency of patrols. At the same time, the ghost guards in the sewers also received new orders from Alina and immediately began to mobilize.

Meanwhile, on agricultural plot no. 12.

The stalemate on the Ark side had just ended, and the stalemate on Tallulah's side was also nearing its end.

When the ghostly inner guards appeared, the game was over. No matter how good an assassin or warrior the blond Manticore was, he would become a dead soul under the Ursus scimitar when facing the inner guards.

Even though he was not a war advocate, Spafari still believed so.

Especially when he saw eight more inner guards appear in the field and surround Tallulah and the blond Mantiko, he became more determined in his decision.

Eight inner guards and one red dragon take turns serving you. Who can have such a blessing?

The fact was just as Spafari had thought. When the blond Mantiko saw the eight of them appear together, a look of surprise and disbelief flashed across his face.

Damn, that [Elegant Sargon Slang] minister never told me that past emperors of the empire were surrounded by so many Ursus inner guards. And isn't the emperor of this period supposed to be in a delicate and critical period with Ursus? Even if they were breaking the ice, there's no way the Ursus emperor would allocate so many inner guards to protect her, right?!

The blonde Manticon felt she had been deceived, but now she couldn't care less. The assassination attempt had undoubtedly failed, and she should flee as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, I had a backup plan, otherwise I would have been killed by that minister.

Looking at the surrounded blonde Manticore and Tallulah, before they could say anything, they saw the person opposite them take out a luxurious bell with gold and purple interwoven together.

"Jingle Bell!"

The moment the bell rang, a strong light instantly filled the entire field. Tallulah had to close her eyes quickly. The ghost guards around her hesitated briefly in the face of the strong light, and then immediately rushed forward.

But it came to nothing.

When Tallulah opened her eyes, all she saw was the deserted wilderness and the words that drifted into her ears:

"Goodbye, poor Red Dragon Crown."

Chapter 304: Expand the Army! The Army Must Be Expanded Immediately!

"Mayor Tallulah, I think I need an explanation."

Spafari looked at the nine silent inner guards. After noticing Spafari's gaze, the nine ghostly inner guards fled back to the Shadow Kingdom at Alina's signal.

Seeing this scene, Spafari's eyes flashed with strangeness.

As a high-ranking official of the Ursus Empire, Spafari did not want to meet the Internal Guards. For them, meeting the Internal Guards was not a good thing. However, under some special circumstances, those who existed in the shadow of Ursus would still find them. Among their senior officials, there was still a basic understanding of the Internal Guards. As a relatively special chief justice in the Ursus bureaucracy, Spafari had even met the Internal Guards. Although it was only a few short words, he was deeply impressed.

However, does the inner guard have the ability to disappear into the shadows?

Spafari didn't know, but the inner guard in front of him did show this ability, and the strange aura on his body was indeed that of the inner guard, exactly the same as the inner guard he saw last time.

Regardless of whether the inner guards could manage to slip into the shadows, what Spafari needed to ponder most now was the current situation. Why had Sargon's Manticore assassin appeared in this southern Ursian city? Was it that Sargon, the slumbering old lion, was finally stretching his muscles, or... were some fools within Ursus blinded by a sliver of profit?

But now Tallulah was also confused. She also knew Manticore, who could basically be said to be a tribe unique to Sargon. Why would she appear in Ursus?

"Tallulah."

At this time, Alina walked to Tallulah and whispered in her ear the message from the Ark that came from the Ghost Guard.

"Are you saying there were assassinations in the city? The targets were Amiya and Noah?"

Tallulah's expression turned extremely ugly, and Spafari's mind was full of thoughts. Finally, he spoke slowly.

"Don't worry, Mayor Tallulah. No matter why they're here, I think they're trying to sabotage this investigation and deteriorate the relationship between Canaan and Ursus. It's nothing more than the machinations of some scumbags. I won't let this assassination bring my personal emotions into the investigation, but..."

Spafari took out his notebook and started writing and drawing.

"The evaluation of Canaan City's current social security index should be lowered."

"Ah, this..."

Well, try not to bring in personal emotions.

"But didn't you just say that there was an assassination attempt in the city? Should we continue with our next journey? This will be decided by you, Mayor Tallulah."

Spafari requested a rescheduling, but the glint in his eyes suggested a desire to continue. Even though he'd just been assassinated, what was there to fear? Not to mention that Spafari wasn't someone who would be swayed by one or two assassination attempts; the mere sight of the nine inner guards emerging from the shadows was enough to dissuade him from fear.

[Excited Ursus slang], nine internal guards are protecting me alone, how can I be less fortunate than this?

On the other hand, unlike Spafari's excitement, Tallulah was thinking more.

Although Spafari's inspection of Canaan City was equally important and related to the subsequent cooperation and contact between Canaan and Ursus officials, the prerequisite for this matter was that Spafari must not get into any trouble in Canaan. If he was harmed in Canaan City, or even died in Canaan, this incident would definitely become a handle for those radical military nobles to attack Canaan and even the infected. At that time, even if the emperor himself mediated, the relationship between Canaan and Ursus would definitely drop to a freezing point, and the conflict between ordinary people and the infected would be further intensified under the instigation of those with ulterior motives.

Tallulah could even imagine how the unscrupulous media would report this incident.

It is probably something like "The infected ignored the emperor's grace and brazenly killed the emperor's envoy", "The rebel Tallulah openly killed the Ursus minister, which is a serious provocation to Ursus", "What gave her such courage? Tallulah is suspected of having foreign political support". The most important one is the last one, which may become the reason for those military nobles to incite the Ursus crisis theory, demand continued military expansion and launch a "national defense" war abroad.

When Tallulah thought of this, she felt that the future was bleak. She immediately thought about how to persuade Spafari to go back to the city hall to finish the inspection. But at this moment, a little guy suddenly emerged from the shadows, jumping on Tallulah's shoulder under Spafari's puzzled gaze.
