Chapter 219 This is unreasonable
The three stalkers found by Bearded are familiar with this kind of "dirty work".
After understanding all kinds of information about Hugo, the stalkers directly said that they should wait for the news with peace of mind. They would soon put a head on Hugo's neck. Oh no, a goblin head would be sent to him.
Having [Stealth] guarantees an almost certain chance of sneak attack first.
What's more, the intelligence shows that the target is just an ordinary person, not even a first-level professional.
This order sounds simple enough!
Stalkers have their own ways of finding people.
Level 3 Shadow Magic [Old Enemy].
The materials required for divine magic include the bones of enemies, shadow lotus leaves, and benignly deformed eyeballs of level 3 or above monsters;
Plus items directly related to the target of the spell.
After completing the magic, you can locate the opponent's position within a range of 100 kilometers, ignoring the opponent's invisibility, camouflage and other concealment effects during this period.
The Rogue's first attack against a target marked as "Old Enemy" will have a defense-ignoring and critical strike effect blessed by shadow energy.
This "infamous" shadow magic is also the reason why big cities prohibit sneakers above level 3 from entering.
It is no exaggeration to say that once marked as [Old Enemy], the Stalkers will definitely kill them the moment they take action.
And the marked “victims” often have difficulty realizing that they are being targeted.
This mark is silent and extremely difficult to detect unless special glow magic is used to detect or dispel it.
This makes it easy for the victim to be attacked unprepared.
…
Hugo, who had just led people across the defense line of the border [Past Glory], was indeed unprepared at all.
After receiving a reminder from Moni and learning that there was a negative status called [Old Enemy] in his status bar, Hugo was completely confused.
"No, who is it? We even invited level 3 stalkers!"
He knew this shadow magic.
Apart from [Stealth], this is what Stalkers are most famous for.
The cost of casting this magical spell is quite high.
The total market price of the three raw materials is nearly 10 gold coins!
The problem is that during this period, Hugo, besides bringing people back and forth to resell the weapons and equipment produced by Mullen, also went to the refugee settlements to recruit new people to join the Church of Knowledge.
Who has he offended?
"This is unreasonable!"
Hugo was confused.
Little did I know.
The three stalkers entrusted by Beard were even more confused than Hugo.
After the leader of the third-level stalker used [Old Enemy] to locate the location, the approximate location returned was actually outside the border!
All three people were surprised.
Didn’t the intelligence say that the goblin Hugo Seavey often traveled between Ceylon City and the border defense line?
Why did he go outside the kingdom's border? He couldn't have gotten lost.
Doesn’t it mean that the target is just an ordinary person?
For ordinary people to cross the border, it is no different than to die!
"This is unreasonable!"
But their "professionalism" gave the three stalkers no time to think so much. They hurriedly packed up the rations for the road, put on their weapons and set off to hunt down Hugo Seavey.
The commission they accepted was to deliver Hugo's body to their employer.
[Old Enemy] The locking effect of divine magic can only take effect while the opponent is still alive. If Hugo is killed by a monster before they arrive or is contaminated by the evil god and loses his mind and becomes a new monster, then their single Delegation is equivalent to failure!
…
The three stalker killers traveled day and night, rushing all the way and not daring to delay at all.
[Old Enemy] can only last for 72 hours. If it times out, it will be lost!
Travel through the vast land of Ceylon, cross the border, and enter the dangerous dark forest.
The good news is that the [Old Enemy] magic can also transmit the approximate location of the opponent, indicating that the target is still alive and has not been directly killed by the monsters.
Seeing Hugo and the "refugee" team he led from a distance, the three killers were even more confused.
What's wrong with the target this time?
Taking a group of refugees and goods for a walk in the dark forest when you have nothing to do?
I can’t figure out why, but it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, the employer's requirement is to kill the target and take the body back as proof.
If the other party runs to a place like the Dark Forest, which is already prone to trouble, it will only be easier for them to complete the task.
Enter the [Stealth] state and quietly touch behind Hugo.
When the leading level 3 stalker raised the poisoned dagger in his hand, Hugo still seemed unaware.
The corner of the stalker's mouth curled up into a sneer.
"Die! Goblin idiot!"
He just likes to hunt such ignorant prey, and likes to appreciate the incredible expression of despair on the other side's deathbed.
The other two fellow stalkers quietly approached the "refugees" in the team.
They have to let the goods be "lost" in a reasonable way, so that no one can be left alive.
The tip of the dagger was aimed at the back of the goblin's heart and stabbed hard!
"Bang!"
The powerful impact that appeared without warning directly staggered the stalker who was trying to assassinate him, and he almost lost his balance on the spot.
Level 2 magic [Arcane Explosion]!
Centered on the casting target, a spherical arcane force field is spread out, knocking back all affected enemies!
The Stalker killers suddenly felt warning signs in their hearts!
Something is wrong!
They seemed to be ambushed, and there was a hidden mage nearby to provide protection to the target!
Before he could react, an arrow emitting bright red light flew into the air and exploded.
The [Lighting Arrow] with detection effect illuminated the entire area!
Ranger magic, the gift of the God of the Wilderness, stealth is invalid within the range of the lighting arrow!
The three stealth killers could not hide and were forced to reveal their bodies.
Then, Brandon, holding a two-handed sword, rushed out of the forest aggressively!
"Take my sword!"
More companions appeared from the depths of the forest.
"Form a formation! Don't let them run away!" Pete's command came: "Also, don't kill them directly! We will have to interrogate them later!"
The believers of the Church of Knowledge formed a solid formation, firmly blocking the stealth in the area where the [Lighting Arrow] was effective.
The priests flipped through the scriptures and chanted prayers.
One after another, [Divine Word: Shield] was attached to the believers who came from Hugo and Green Harbor. The dense white shield patterns made the three assassins who tried to assassinate them despair.
With their attacks, let alone completing the assassination commission, it was a question whether they could break through the defense!
The dozens of people who appeared in front of them, just the ones they could see, were all professionals, from warriors to mages to priests to rangers.
And it seemed that they had expected them to appear long ago. It was obvious that they had ambushed them and were just waiting for them to fall into the trap!
Is the target the great noble or archbishop who has hidden his name?
I thought it was just a simple commission to assassinate ordinary people.
How could so many professionals appear!
...
There will be another update later!
