Chapter 31 Assassination of the Special Envoy

Bai Xiaowen's heart was overjoyed, secretly saying that the young master was waiting for your words!

Long before the brawl in the tavern, Bai Xiaowen had guessed that the two strong men of the resistance army had important tasks at their disposal, otherwise, it would be impossible to swallow it up and watch the weak bard slander the leader.

Later in the conversation, the two also explained this point. After being confirmed, Bai Xiaowen made up his mind.

To gain the reputation of the resistance army, of course, important tasks must be done, preferably tasks that can enter the sight of high-level officials. Therefore, when completing the first task: submitting the name certificate, Bai Xiaowen tried his best to unplug the three imperial army strongholds in one go.

In this way, Bai Xiaowen finally achieved his goal and qualified to participate in this important task.

At the moment, Bai Xiaowen accepted without hesitation: "This is my honor. Ralph, tell me who is going to kill this time?"

Ralph nodded with satisfaction: "We have received reliable news that the imperial envoy from North County will arrive in Elu City tomorrow. Our mission is to assassinate the imperial envoy outside Elu City!"

Lorgar said: "If the imperial envoy dies in the territory of Elu City, Elu City will bear the wrath of the empire, which is absolutely unwilling to see the Lord of Elu City, and the Elu City Guard will definitely stop it. Therefore, We must complete the mission before the imperial envoys rendezvous with the Elu city guards!"

Prompt information:

"Side mission: A new mission opens. Mission difficulty: A-."

"Mission objective: Assassinate the imperial envoy Eliot."

"Task duration: 8 hours."

"Failure condition: Imperial envoy Eliot enters Elu City, or completes contact with Elu City Guards."

Bai Xiaowen nodded: "I will send that damn imperial dog to see their Lord of Light."

"It's not 'I', it's 'us'!" Lorgar smiled and patted Bai Xiaowen on the shoulder, "Beside the imperial envoy, there are nearly 20 guards. Although most of them are auxiliary soldiers with little combat power, But it's not something you can handle alone."

Ralph said, "The team of imperial envoys will be camping in Shiraishi Valley tonight. We're leaving now, and we must complete the mission. For Ursoc!"

"For Ursoc!" Luo Jia raised his fist and growled, Bai Xiaowen quickly followed suit, raising his fist and grinning fiercely.

...

At night, Shiraishi Valley.

"Hey, did you see that?" Lorgar whispered.

Ralph, who was also hiding in the shadows, nodded slightly: "The defense is very tight, and there are auxiliary soldiers standing guard in every direction, so it is not easy to make a surprise attack."

Bai Xiaowen observed the imperial envoy sitting by the bonfire. This was a young aristocratic youth, and every move showed the graceful etiquette he had cultivated since childhood. However, under Bai Xiaowen's insight, it was clearly seen that this special envoy's own combat effectiveness was very good, similar to that of an auxiliary soldier.

However, next to Special Envoy Elliot, there were four regular soldiers of the Imperial Army! Two of the giant hammer warriors, one shield warrior, and one strong archer.

These four regular army soldiers have a challenge level of 2. If only Bai Xiaowen was alone, of course he could run as far as he could.

However, don't forget the two men around Bai Xiaowen, Ralph and Lorgar. Lorgar is a level 3 shield fighter, and there is no problem in fighting two. Ralph is an elite professional champion swordsman. Together with Lorgar, without Bai Xiaowen's help, it is enough to level the team.

"But, here's the problem..." Bai Xiaowen frowned.

You know, this is an A-level mission! In the previous job transfer task 2, learning the dragon language is at this level. If Bai Xiaowen can easily pass the level with his thighs in his arms, the maximum difficulty of the task will not exceed C, how can it be classified as A-?

Bai Xiaowen was deeply puzzled, he thought about it, and turned on his insight talent, starting from the special envoy, to detect the strength of the enemy one by one.

The special envoy is still a weak chicken,

There was nothing special about the four regular army soldiers either. However, when Bai Xiaowen detected that the special envoy was not far away, a squire who seemed to be wearing a cloak, he was so excited that he almost jumped up!

Laila Redleaf (Elite/Challenge Level 5)

Race: Humanoid / Elf

Occupation: Sword Dancer Level 3

Attributes: Strength 14, Dexterity 21, Constitution 16, Spirit 9

Skill:? ? ?

"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Bai Xiaowen gritted his teeth secretly, but he did not expect that the special envoy was accompanied by an extraordinary elf Bichi. This female elf named Laila Hongye, with a challenge level of 5, is only stronger than Ralph.

Frightened, Bai Xiaowen used his insight to look at all the remaining auxiliary soldiers, and then heaved a sigh of relief - there was no Ultraman hidden in the remaining auxiliary soldiers.

It's not broken, it can still fight.

On the other side, Ralph and Lorgar were discussing the battle plan and waved Bai Xiaowen over.

"The number of enemies is relatively large, and we need a bait to distract some of their attention," Ralph said. "The remaining two take advantage of the empty camp to launch a surprise attack, and they will definitely kill that cowardly imperial dog."

"I'll be the bait."

Lorgar hesitated for a second and then said, "Ralph is the main force of the storm and must stay."

Decoy work is undoubtedly very dangerous, and there is little chance of meritorious service. It is dirty work + tiring work.

Ralph shook his head and said, "Brother, I've been fighting side by side with you for so long, and I'm used to having your shield protecting my back."

Hearing this, why didn't Bai Xiaowen understand what Ralph meant? He still maintained his stunned nature, and said in a low voice, "I'm here to lure the enemy. No one is more suitable than me."

Lorgar was still a little hesitant, but Ralph had already nodded his head: "Okay brother, everything is for the liberation of the North!"

This sentence dispelled Lorgar's hesitation.

Bai Xiaowen said in a low voice, "I'll go get ready, you wait for the signal that I will act." After that, he went around the col and sneaked away.

The duo of Ralph and Lorgar waited patiently.

Ten minutes passed.

Half an hour passed.

An hour has passed.

Bai Xiaowen never appeared.

Ralph frowned and said, "What happened? Did he escape?"

Whoosh!

With a bow sound, an auxiliary soldier who was standing guard at Taniguchi stumbled back half a step, clutching his arrow wound and shouting mournfully:

"—Enemy attack!"

Whoosh!

Another arrow hit the injured auxiliary soldier. The arrow hit the heart accurately, and the auxiliary soldier fell to the ground on the spot.

The camp was a little chaotic. After checking the situation of the auxiliary soldiers who were shot dead, the special envoy team responded. Two regular soldiers of the Imperial Army led five auxiliary soldiers to search for the attackers.

This arrangement is reasonable. The attacker was obviously only one person. From the archery of the opponent's shooting auxiliary soldiers, it could be seen that the strength was not invincible. The two regular army of the empire plus five auxiliary soldiers were enough to snatch the mouse that was sneaking in secret and kill it. .

If you leave it alone, don't even think about resting peacefully all night.

Looking at the half-empty camp, Ralph patted Lorgar on the shoulder: "It's done, let's go!"
