The leader steeled himself and said, "Don't be afraid, there are only four of them, let's go!"
"A bunch of lowlifes, daring to try their hand at being assassins? Die!" Lin Mo raised his Dragon Slayer sword and charged at the assassins directly in front of him.
To be fair, these assassins weren't exactly weak.
But the Nightmare Cavalry were fearless of death; they would always protect Lin Mo and shield him from harm, regardless of their own lives.
As a result, it was impossible to succeed in a short period of time.
Moreover, the torches lit up in the distance, indicating that Lin Mo's guards would soon arrive to provide support.
Time is Lin Mo's friend, but also their enemy.
In their haste, they became increasingly hesitant to fight freely, to the point that Lin Mo managed to suppress them for a time.
Seeing this, some people started to back down and wanted to leave to find another opportunity.
But the leader knew that after this, it would be difficult to have another chance.
In an instant, two completely different ideas emerged.
This had extremely negative consequences, as the assassins were very disunited, making the fighting even more chaotic.
In a moment of carelessness, an assassin was struck between the eyebrows by a Nightmare Cavalryman and died instantly.
This unexpected turn of events only strengthened his resolve to escape.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly, or we won't be able to get out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the assassins turned and ran.
Seeing this, the other assassins lost all desire to continue fighting.
One after another, in no time several assassins had climbed onto the roof, intending to escape.
"Trying to run? Do you think you can escape?" Lin Mo sneered.
All the Nightmare Cavalry are inside the palace; if you manage to escape, I'll admit defeat.
At that moment, the leader of the assassins bit his lip and launched a fierce attack.
However, before the short sword in his hand could reach within three feet of Lin Mo, it was stopped by the Nightmare Cavalry.
The other assassins all fled to the rooftops, each fighting to the death. How could the leader possibly stand against them?
With a "clang!", the short sword in the leader's hand was knocked to the ground.
Lin Mo's eyes turned cold, and he took a step forward, grabbing the assassin's arm.
The person instinctively tried to dodge backward, but Lin Mo's large hand ended up grasping the person's voluptuous and hot body.
"A female assassin?" he thought in surprise. "I wonder what she looks like!"
The S corruption value amplified his evil thoughts to an extreme degree, leading to a very audacious idea in his mind.
"Don't hurt her, capture her alive!" Lin Mo ordered.
The Nightmare Cavalry continued their offensive, and the female assassin was soon subdued.
Before long, the rest of the guards arrived carrying torches.
None of the assassins who launched the night raid were able to escape.
With his tyrant mode activated, Lin Mo no longer needs the protection of the Xuanhua Palace disciples.
"Your Highness, what should we do with this assassin?" a member of the Imperial Guard asked.
"Take her away; I will interrogate her myself!" Lin Mo said with a wicked smile. "Send more men to protect the Princess and the Lady!"
"Yes, sir!"
