You're an assassin, why do you focus on ranged?

Chapter 299

As the rumble approached, a team of cavalrymen on war horses entered the valley.

They were all wearing heavy cloaks and were burly.

They looked like an ordinary cavalry team.

But the cloak fluttering in the wind occasionally revealed the arms covered with black hair under the cloak and the head that looked like a wild wolf's head.

The ones coming this time were the werewolves among the beasts, known for their swiftness and ferocity.

And they have abilities that other beasts don't have.

That is, they can temporarily turn into humans.

If you want to come to the human territory to meet the Hand of the Dead, the werewolves are the most suitable candidates.

In addition, the werewolves are relatively small in size and will not put too much pressure on the war horses.

For example, the lions and tigers, who are more than three meters tall per person, will be crushed to death when they ride on the war horses, let alone run.

The leader of the werewolf cavalry whispered to the captain of the guard and gave him a piece of parchment and several packages.

Qin Chuan saw it clearly from a distance.

That was the pass.

At the border of the human and beast territories, there were several fortresses set up to prevent the beast invasion and prevent people from smuggling things out.

However, the werewolves appeared here, indicating that those fortresses had been infiltrated.

Qin Chuan continued to observe secretly.

Soon, the captain of the guard returned, took out the small flag from the package, and hung it on the caravan vehicle.

Qin Chuan looked at the emblem on the chess piece and felt a little familiar.

Isn't this the emblem of the Harris family?

When Viscount Harris left Beli City, Qin Chuan received the task from Edith and killed him halfway. He originally thought that the Harris family would become a historical dust, but he didn't expect it to be still active.

However, considering that the Harris family had long surrendered to the Hand of the Dead, I don't think they would be easily abandoned.

After all, the Hand of the Dead also needs the protection of the noble forces on the surface.

A viscount family, with a name that is loud enough but not too conspicuous, is the most suitable target.

As for Viscount Harris, it doesn't matter if he dies, because there is still a son to succeed him.

If it doesn't work out, the Hand of the Dead will send someone to take over the Harris family.

Pretending to be a caravan of the Harris family can also allow this group of Hands of the Dead to pass through the fortress more smoothly.

After all, nobles in various countries basically have caravans, and trading with hostile forces is a traditional skill of the nobles, and the profit is quite high.

Even if the fortress garrison knew about it, they could only turn a blind eye without orders.

"It's a pity that the Harris family base camp is not in the territory of the Kingdom of Saint Biswan, and it is far from the city of Beli. Otherwise, if the news is told to Edith, it is estimated that the task will be triggered again."

Qin Chuan muttered secretly.

After waiting for a while, the caravan continued to set off, and the werewolf cavalry mixed into the guard team.

...

After traveling in the wilderness for a long time, the towering city wall appeared at the end of the field of vision.

This is the Iron Wind Fortress.

Beyond the fortress wall is the buffer zone, and further north is the real orc territory.

With the cover of the traitor, the caravan left the city smoothly and went deep into the buffer zone.

Qin Chuan has been waiting for an opportunity.

If it doesn't work, he will create an opportunity.

For example, leave a fraudulent clone here, sneak out to summon the shadow dragon, and then kill it and hit the Hand of the Dead head on.

The Hand of the Dead may not recognize him, but it must know the shadow dragon.

When the situation gets out of control, the captain of the guard will most likely distribute pass tokens, and then tell the gathering place, and everyone will escape.

At that time, Qin Chuan can retreat safely, go to the Arctic Ice Field first, and then come back to find the Hand of the Dead to continue to make trouble.

Perfect.

But before Qin Chuan took action, someone was more anxious than him.

A lion army rushed over in the distance.

A guard stepped forward to ask, but before he got close, he was stabbed like a hornet's nest and fell off his horse.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but look at the captain of the guards and said nervously: "Brother Gulum, those lions seem to be coming for us."

Gulum stuffed a sword into Qin Chuan's hand and said loudly: "The lion tribe has always opposed the alliance between the Beast God Cult and us, saying that it violates the glory of the beast tribe. This time they come to intercept and kill, it is by no means an accident. Brother Aspar, it's time to fight!"

After that, he rushed out with his guards.

The werewolf cavalry in the caravan roared and charged at the lions.

Boom!

The sound of the collision sounded, and the werewolves, war horses, and lions all flew into the sky wailing, fell to the ground and were trampled by countless feet, turning into meat paste.

In the blink of an eye, the caravan that was originally full of laughter and joy changed.

"Lion people, aren't you afraid that the Beast God Cult will settle accounts with you for doing this! Brothers, take action!"

A dark mage walked out of the carriage and bombarded the lion people with magic balls.

He is a high-level dark mage of level 65, with an output ofThe power exploded.

More members of the Hand of the Dead emerged from the carriage and joined the battle.

In the end, the Lionmen chose to retreat after more than half of the casualties.

However, they also made the Hand of the Dead difficult, and the werewolf cavalry that came to support them died only in single digits.

The captain of the guard, Gulum, was alive. After discussing with the dark wizard who led the team, he began to distribute pass tokens.

"Brothers, the next journey will be on your own. Gather in the werewolf territory."

"Ding, you have obtained the pass token for the wolf territory."

Qin Chuan weighed the token in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

And this smile made Gulum feel unfamiliar.

And uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

Gulum calmed down and asked, "Brother Aspar, what are you laughing at?"

Qin Chuan reached out and touched the corner of his mouth, "Are you laughing?"

Found that he was indeed laughing, he couldn't help but say, "I remembered something happy."

"What is it?"

Gulum asked, becoming more and more uneasy.

Then he was shocked to find that the appearance of brother Aspar in front of him had changed!

The dark wizard in the distance immediately exclaimed, "It's you! The stranger who has repeatedly fought against the Hand of the Dead!"

Qin Chuan looked at the dark wizard and asked curiously, "Do you know me?"

The dark wizard said with resentment, "Your portrait has spread throughout the Hand of the Dead, and you can recognize it even if it turns to ashes!"

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Then why didn't you see through my disguise."

The dark wizard's expression froze.

You really hit the point.

The dark wizard looked at Gulum and scolded, "You didn't even know that the enemy had sneaked in, what are you doing as the captain of the guard!"

Gulum felt wronged.

Didn't you see through it?

But now is not the time to dwell on this. The most urgent thing is to kill Qin Chuan!

The battle ended instantly.

Qin Chuan summoned the shadow dragon, flew straight into the clouds, and headed north.

The pass token has been obtained, so there is no rush to go to the territory of the beast tribe now. It is better to go to the Arctic Ice Field first.

But then again, how could the clues of the shadow power point to the Arctic Ice Field.

That place is a pure life forbidden zone.

Qin Chuan thought of another possibility.

The Arctic Ice Field was not covered with ice and snow at the beginning, but because the original power of the Lord of Ice was sealed there, the energy leaked, which led to a sudden change in the external environment and gradually evolved into the Arctic Ice Field.

The active era of the shadow power was probably before the formation of the Arctic Ice Field.

Considering the time when the shadow power was dormant, this possibility is very high.

"Is it a coincidence or intentional to seal the origin of the Lord of Ice there?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but think secretly.
