Chapter 137 Battle of Castle and Treasure

After being left by Baron Jando to garrison near the drawbridge, Dean once again walked towards the castle alone——

As for those noble guards?

When Baron Zandou said frankly that there were at least twenty great knights and four silver knights in the battlefield, they very firmly stated that they would stick to the drawbridge and the city gate. {first release}

Although the young men of the Feichalun Knights wanted to follow Dean into the castle, they were stopped by Dean's order.

The battle inside is an adventure for Dean, let alone these young people who have just set foot on the regular? Dean absolutely didn't want to see his subordinates get hurt in such a battle.

Passing through the small square, Dean stepped into the corridor of the front hall, looking at the figures in the dark and shadowy, Dean restrained his breathing, and he approached slowly, looking for the best angle , Then, without a sound, the [Longbow of Power Assist] was fully drawn, and then, the fingers were loosened.

Whoosh!

Immediately, the arrow shot out like a shooting star.

Pooh!

In the shadows in the distance, the thief who thought he was concealed in perfect clothes looked at the arrow in his chest in disbelief, and fell to the ground just like that.

Then came the second, third...

The arrows were shot in vain, and more than ten thieves fell to the ground like this. They didn't understand until their death why Dean found them.

Also, why can't they spot Dean.

After pulling out the arrow from the opponent's chest and wiping it carefully, Dean put the arrow into the quiver behind him again - the number of arrows in the quiver made Dean have to do this.

otherwise. It will definitely affect future plans.

after all. For opponents at the Grand Knight level. Although Dean has the strength to fight at this moment, it is definitely the most unwise choice to fight recklessly.

Bows and arrows naturally became Dean's first choice at the moment——

[Long-range weapon (bow/crossbow) +2]

【xp+40】

After cleaning up the thieves in front of me,

Dean's final catch.

As for the loot?

Among them, Dean can't see it.

Of course, this is definitely not the final harvest. You can tell just by looking at the bodies of the noble guards who rushed in before. The thieves that Dean eliminated in front of him were only part of them.

Moreover, it is the part that is the easiest to eliminate.

The rest, those thieves, must have been alerted at this moment.

And fighting the remaining thieves in a terrain with many terraces and courtyards like an ancient castle obviously added more than one point of difficulty.

However, no matter how difficult it is, there is no choice for Dean at this moment.

We must rise to the challenge!

Of course, out of caution. Dean's forward speed naturally slowed down.

Dean against the wall. Like a gecko blending into the shadows, let yourself approach the target slowly and silently, then, cover the opponent's mouth, and cut the opponent's throat - this is the foundation of thieves training, and it is also the most advanced skill , and even the key to other extended skills.

Dean once witnessed an assassin who developed this basic skill to an advanced level and easily killed an opponent who was one level higher than himself.

And this made Dean, who was an assassin at the time, very touched. He had trained himself in stealth more than once, and consulted those famous assassins and thieves.

Of course, in the end, Dean still wasn't there.

Although every assassin and thief he consulted never denied Dean's talent, but Dean's time was urgent.

It made it impossible for him to train for a long time, and this naturally became the biggest obstacle to his skill improvement.

However, even if they have not reached the advanced level, it is still enough to face the thieves from the local thieves union in Vauban.

At least, Dean can guarantee that no one on the other side can find himself.

And what he needs to do is to kill the target in front of him without being discovered while determining the remaining number of opponents.

Undoubtedly, the thieves also thought the same way.

The only difference is that their target is only Dean.

Search, find, and silently kill targets.

The almost identical behavior made the corridor in the front hall silent, and there was no scene where there should be any fight.

However, killing is real!

As time passed, the smell of blood became more and more intense, making anyone who walked into this front hall corridor think that they had walked into a slaughterhouse——

[The opponent is sneaking and hiding...]

【Perceptual judgment...】

[Gain Indomitable LV1 bonus...]

【Perceptual Judgment Passed】

[Obtain the opponent's approximate trace...]

[The perception exceeds the limit of the opponent's skills, and the approximate trace of the opponent is obtained...]

Every system judgment will point out a general direction for Dean, and this gives Dean an absolute advantage - in fact, the key point of the thieves' battle is how to hide and how not to be discovered by the opponent.

Undoubtedly, Dean did a good enough job.

So, he became the ultimate winner.

When Dean left the front hall corridor, at least six thieves had their throats slit by him, and no less than five thieves began to retreat towards other areas—like mercenaries, thieves did not The so-called never retreat.

Obviously, there are still companions of these thieves in other areas.

However, Dean didn't have time to pay attention to these thieves, and he didn't even pay attention to the escaped thieves.

Because, Dean knew, where his goal was—

【xp+30】

After glancing at the experience gained, Dean continued to move towards the treasury of the Marquis of Vauban.

The road after that seemed to be unimpeded.

After all, even if the local thieves guild came out in full force, plus the core and elite, there would not be more than 50 people, and if these 50 people were distributed in two target areas, one real and one false. There are only twenty to twenty-five people in an area at most. This is already a limit. If you count the sporadic distribution, this number will be even less.

And what Dean encountered before fits this figure very well.

The private treasure house of the Marquis of Vauban is still a corridor away from Dean, but at this distance, Dean has already heard the sound of weapons crashing.

It was so clear fifty yards away, and Dean could fully imagine how deafening it would be if he stood in front of him.

Undoubtedly, it is possible to make such a sound of weapons clashing. Naturally, it is at the level of a great knight.

Therefore, in the next approach, Dean became more and more cautious.

And when he bypassed the corridor, the scene of the battle in front of him clearly appeared in front of Dean——

The private treasury of the Marquis of Vauban, for safety reasons, is not connected with the castle complex, but a separate building, which looks more like a clock tower from the outside. And only those who know the inside story know what is going on here. Usually there is a full team of fifteen guards on duty here.

But now, there are even more people here.

There are twenty people on the outside alone, but inside the treasure house, there should be no less, or even more talents.

The people outside are the people of the 'Brotherhood'.

Dean can confirm it with just a quick glance; unlike the directness of mercenaries, and the secretiveness of thieves, the 'Brotherhood' is more like a combination of both, and at the same time, it also has a sense of neither of them. Murderous aura--the kind of murderous aura that would make one's heart tremble as long as one glances over her.

Among the twenty people, the leading knight undoubtedly attracted Dean's attention the most.

Not only because of the identity of the other party's great knight, but also because the other party is blocking the entrance of the treasure house at this moment, with the momentum and strength of one man guarding the gate, making it impossible for the people inside to rush out--any treasure house The entrance will not be built with that kind of wide gate. After all, once something unstoppable happens, it is definitely a good choice to retreat into the treasure house for defense and wait for reinforcements.

However, by the same token, the narrow entrance to the treasure house not only blocked the enemy, but also blocked himself!

as if now—

Obviously there are many people in the treasury, but it was blocked by one person.

Through some gaps, Dean has seen some of the situation in the treasure house, not only there are many guards holding bows and arrows, but also two knights in full steel armor.

One of them was fighting the leader of the 'Brotherhood' in front of him, while the other stared impatiently.

Undoubtedly, the narrow entrance can only make this great knight anxious, but he can't get his hands in!

Compared with the anxiety of the subordinates of the Marquis of Vauban in the treasury, the great knight of the 'Brotherhood' was calm; There is no one who can really threaten him, as long as he persists, victory will naturally come to him.

As for reinforcements?

The great knight laughed contemptuously.

The Marquis of Vauban, who thought he was smart, didn't figure out what their goal was at all. Moreover, under such circumstances, he restrained his manpower and set up some traps. It was really ridiculous!

Under such circumstances, how could there be reinforcements!

You mean the guards of the nobles outside the castle?

Absolutely can't even cross the suspension bridge!

The great knight thought so firmly.

However, at the next moment, a voice froze the great knight's determined face——

"Dean, leader of the Tier-Leader Fechalon Knights, come to support!"

With the sound of words, there was a burst of arrows piercing the air.

The hair on the naked back of the great knight stood up instantly, and he immediately yelled, then turned around and slashed at the incoming arrow with the long sword in his hand.

Undoubtedly, the great knights are far stronger than ordinary people, but such strength is not enough to make them ignore sharp blades and arrow attacks.
