As night fell, the civilians of Sandy Territory gradually realized that it was very noisy!
What happened?
Suddenly, the sound of elemental explosions rang out from multiple locations simultaneously.
That night, Ron was also waiting for the outcome at the lord's manor. Just as the fight was about to begin, Rita, who was standing next to Ron, had already found out.
Has it started...?
Ron was thinking for a while when he suddenly sensed a change in Rita.
Rita looked to her right, to the other side of the door.
It's happened after all.
The cannon fodder assassins were drawing fire, but the real target was always Ron; they sent the truly powerful to infiltrate the lord's mansion.
This is a very logical approach.
Nevertheless, Ron still felt it was more than that...
This was Ron's intuition, a sense of impending crisis gained through experience; sometimes people call this feeling a sword sense or a sixth sense, etc.
In the current situation, Ron, though in the study, had a feeling of being watched, always in the same direction, but...
The Shadow Assassins could have foreseen this, and so could the protective forces of Sandy Territory. Even with only one door separating them from the lord's study, the assassins couldn't get in; the Shadow Punishment members, who had been there beforehand as a precaution, blocked them.
There were three shadowy assassins coming to the lord's manor, each of them a skilled fighter.
However, Ron's inexplicable premonition remained, a result of the qualitative change in his soul at the Master level, coupled with his research into some of the secrets of power in the mystical realm.
This feeling must be real; perhaps someone else hasn't made a move yet.
In this violent incident, Ron glanced at Rita again, who was still staring at the door to her right.
Could it be that the direction isn't pointing to the near, but rather... to the far away?
Magic archer, no, ranged mage?
Following Rita's gaze, Ron activated his superhuman senses.
Sure enough, there were assassins lying in ambush among the tall buildings on the horizon to the right.
There was a subtle, unusual flow of elements. Ron was quite far away, yet he could still sense it. It couldn't be that he was using a high-magic object to cast a wide-area spell!
...
Suddenly, Ron stood up.
Ron wasn't worried about his own safety, as Rita was right beside him, but he couldn't let her disrupt the development of the territory.
Security is the foundation of territory development.
Ron immediately said, "Rita... wait, the abnormal elemental flow... has stopped!"
Ron was stunned.
Did Xiao Liu and the others stop them?
Ron thought for a moment, then said, "Rita, let's see how it goes."
After this incident, Ron had to change his approach. If the other party's target wasn't him, Ron, but rather a large-scale terrorist attack targeting Sandy City, then their probing objective would likely be achieved immediately.
At that point, Ron would have no choice but to send Rita out.
Thinking about it this way, increasing the combat strength of the Sandy Territory's high command is urgent, especially with Mentor Will absent. However, how can we invite a legendary figure?
Ron was deep in thought in his study when, in the distance in the direction Ron was looking, Little Six led a group of half-elves to surround several mages from the Underdark.
This street is located between the wealthy and working-class areas of Sandy City. Since it has been contracted out to other chambers of commerce, various high-rise buildings have been constructed here. As long as there is an agreement, the Sandy Territory will not interfere much. For the sake of overall aesthetics, the Sandy Territory has only imposed a maximum height restriction.
Without a maximum altitude limit, people would love to build their houses into the sky. After the Magic Crystal Flying Car, airspace has become even more important.
The complex fortifications and buildings are a haven for assassins and mages from the shadowy region. While other areas draw fire, this place is set up by the assassin leader to deliver the final blow.
If the lord's manor doesn't send out angelic warriors, they might actually succeed.
Xiao Liu knew this location very well; most of the half-elves were magic archers, and this high place was the perfect sniping spot.
Seeing the current situation, Xiao Liu suddenly said to the half-elf beside him, "You, keep an eye on them, and shoot them if necessary!"
It seemed the situation was settled, but Xiao Liu left a message and turned to leave.
The best sniping spots that everyone knows about are no longer good spots.
An unexpected strike is called an assassin's strike.
Everyone knows that it's called a swordsman's duel.
Xiao Liu rushed towards the lord's manor as fast as he could; he should still be able to make it, right? In Xiao Liu's calculations, he only considered what to do at the right time…
"My lord, please don't come out!"
Ron had absolutely no premonition. He no longer felt like he was being watched, which was great. His men had done a good job, so he went back to his room to sleep.
It's getting late; we'll see the results tomorrow.
However, out of caution, Ron subconsciously waited for Rita before leaving, maintaining a relative distance from her. After all, Ron anticipated that there might be some who slipped through the net!
This was probably the most relaxed moment for Ron, except for that habitual shrewdness that came with his training…
It was also because Ron waited a while.
The sudden arrow gave Ron a little more reaction time.
What happened?
There really is a magic arrow!
The premonition seemed to be that everything was fine, but the other party had anticipated the target's mindset and had four backup plans.
First, three assassins infiltrated the lord's mansion using a feint attack; second, a distant magical attack; and third, this silent, unpredictable, and evasive arrow.
As for the fourth trick, Ron immediately witnessed it again: when the arrow missed, the runes on the arrow shaft activated.
The ranged magic is almost complete.
Command Feather Teleportation, do you want to teleport me, Ron, to a less populated area?
But, Ron, I am still a space mage.
Ron wanted to hide his identity as a spatial mage back then, but years later, his spatial talent is no longer a secret.
But that was a space mage before the extraordinary, the enemy's teleportation array, which had auxiliary magic runes to imprison Ron's resistance.
Composite magic.
Wait, this is just the beginning. The most terrifying thing is that the other party can sneak into the mansion and silently complete the formation for a longer period of time.
There are scouts who specialize in stealth and espionage, or perhaps wanderers; there are too many elementalists on the continent whom we have never seen before.
How to choose?
Should Rita take action, or should he reveal his own extraordinary master-level strength?
In this way, the enemy's probing objective would be achieved.
In a short time, Ron immediately decided that Rita's four-winged angel secret might trap the other party in a legendary position, while Ron's extraordinary strength was nothing to worry about.
Concealing one's strength is for the purpose of using it; however, the next time the opponent comes, it will likely be to prepare for dealing with the Demon Sword Master.
Why!
Suddenly, Ron burst forth, and a transformed, extraordinary magical power surged forth from the Void Crystal.
Sword-Breaking Technique! \\u0027
This sword, aided by spatial elements, is a sword technique that combines empty space and sword-breaking techniques!
Ron considered using this to break through all kinds of confinement methods.
The Demon Sword Master's attack disrupted the newly initiated teleportation, and the opponent's specialized scout was forced out, making him detectable.
After the spell is broken, the caster will suffer elemental backlash of varying degrees. Magic is not something that can be interrupted at will.
"Outside the lord's manor, to the southwest, you must capture her for me!"
"Yes, my lord."
The Shadow Punishment members, barely awakened, immediately obeyed the order and left. The half-elves before Ron were still inferior in professionalism to the assassins.
Are they finished after only arresting three people?
No, the three of them were a gift.
This made Ron curious: where did the other party want to teleport him to?
The expert scout outside the manor was finally caught. Ron has also been reflecting on his actions during this time. It seems that relying entirely on his sixth sense, martial intuition, and sword sense is worse than not training at all...
Alright! My experience in dealing with assassins is gradually accumulating.
Having unleashed this final blow, Ron had no desire to go back to sleep and simply waited for the person who set up the formation to be captured.
A moment later, the expert scout in front of them turned out to be a female mage!
Indeed, magicians have stronger external perception, and this woman certainly has the knowledge to set up compound spells.
The man had freckles, and the woman's appearance was quite ordinary. Judging from her expression, she didn't seem like a professional assassin. Could there be something else going on?
Well, for now it seems the other party won't commit suicide. And for Rita, it's unlikely she'll do so like the captured Dark Assassin.
At the study door, Ron coldly asked, "Speak! What's your name? How did you set up the teleportation spell?"
"What? My lord, Chelsea doesn't know what you're talking about. I was just passing through the lord's manor in Sandy City. What reason do you have to arrest me!" Chelsea was still struggling convincingly under the control of the half-elf.
"Oh, really?" Ron looked at Xiao Liu, whom he had brought back.
Xiao Liu rushed back, but it was still a bit late.
It's also due to a shortage of manpower!
Xiao Liu naturally guessed that this was the main stage, but unlike those assassins, Xiao Liu had stayed here for a long time and deeply understood how terrifying the woman in white with a mask on the side was.
Rita, right?
Therefore, in Xiao Liu's decision, he prioritized ensuring the enemy's long-range attack. Whether the lord came out or not wouldn't matter anyway; if he did, Xiao Liu knew he would just get a scolding.
Ron recalled that the attack on the distant buildings had been stopped, so he wasn't too harsh when talking about Xiao Liu. On the contrary, Ron felt a little disappointed in the half-elves present, which was true.
"Xiao Liu, you haven't done a good job as an instructor. Your three months' worth of Magic Crystal salary will be halved."
"Um, my lord!"
"What 'Lord'? Hurry up and give me a reason to make this little wench accept her fate..."
Xiao Liu knew he was in the wrong and had startled the lord. Fortunately, Lady Rita was not in a position to intervene. His magic crystal salary was his life-saving magic crystal!
With a sigh of indignation, Xiao Liu turned his attention to Chelsea: "Tell me, Miss Chelsea, our people have been watching you for several hourglasses, but I have to admire you, Miss Chelsea. How did you manage to complete the magic setup while the Shadow Punishment was under heavy protection? You were only missing a single Feather Magic Rune catalyst..."
After saying this, Xiao Liu's expression turned ferocious, and he added, "Miss Chelsea, I would prefer you to keep quiet for now."
As he walked towards Chelsea, it seemed he was planning to ruthlessly oust them.
...
...
Further away.
East of the city, in the suburbs, the chieftain and Jim were waiting for Ron to be teleported there.
Instead of the target Ron, they were transported to a wooden plank.
The wooden strip was engraved with four characters: Master of the Demon Sword!
It turns out that the freckled woman was able to send a wooden stick over before she was captured, so there wasn't time for a larger-scale teleportation.
Okay! The main problem is that the items used by the cannon fodder members are not precious enough. The magic items that can be used immediately can only transfer inanimate objects. The spatial ripples are so small that they cause damage as soon as they are touched.
From the perspective of the assassin leader, something must have happened to the scouts.
"Withdraw!" the leader shouted, then ignored Jim behind him and ran as fast as he could!
Jim tried to react, but suddenly, a half-elf arrow shot towards him!
Little Six caught Chelsea head-on, sensing the direction of the wooden plank's teleportation. The half-elves near the city gate, who were there to prevent the enemy from escaping, received the magical message and chased after him.
