As the baron's property, the Tulip Manor is naturally guarded.
But there weren't many of them, only about twenty or so, and their weapons and equipment were mediocre, which was enough to defend against ordinary bandits, but it was almost useless tonight.
In the bedroom, Rosen was already fully equipped and was leaning against the window trying to observe the situation.
There is no moon or stars in the sky of this demiplane. The only source of light comes from the windproof oil lamps hanging around the manor.
But the light was too dim and couldn't shine very far.
Looking into the distance, all I saw was pitch black, like the thickest ink, and nothing could be seen clearly.
The magic circle of this world is also extremely weak, and the void vision has completely lost its function.
As a result, the effectiveness of the detection methods that Rosen had relied on in the past was greatly limited.
In the dark, Tiralin was rustling as she put on her clothes. She complained quietly, "Honey, you threw my clothes everywhere."
The voice was trembling because of fear.
Rosen was in the wrong in this matter, so he chuckled, bent over, and helped Lilin pack her clothes.
Tiralilin just complained once and then got down to business.
"The enemy is very powerful. I can't see the enemy clearly. What about you?"
"I see clearly."
Lai Fu has restored the true appearance of the illusion of time from the broken 'surface of time'.
"Forty heavily armed warriors arrived, wearing light studded leather armor, armed with shields, war hammers, and crossbows, but with no visible identifying marks."
"It's more than two miles away from us now. We've slowed down a bit and will arrive in about five minutes."
"But these people are here to attack head-on and attract our attention. Five others have already sneaked into the vicinity of the manor and are currently hiding behind the bushes outside the manor wall."
"These five people are stealth experts. Their weapons are crossbows that can fire three times in a row."
“In addition to these, I also saw a person in the tree canopy 100 meters away from the estate.”
“This person looks like this.”
As he spoke, Rosen raised his hand and drew a few times in the air in front of him. Suddenly, a clear figure with a faint light emerged in the air.
Tiralilin was shocked by the information Rosen obtained: "Honey, how do you know this?"
"Time magic, who gave me the most sophisticated time insight talent?"
There is some truth in this, but Tilarilin always feels it is incredible, because this insight is so strong that it is outrageous.
As the saying goes, talk less and do more, and keep nine out of ten of your abilities hidden, this is the way to protect yourself.
Therefore, Rosen never discussed the limits of his abilities, even if the other party was a woman he completely trusted.
After a vague explanation, he pointed at the figure: "Lilin, do you know him?"
After carefully examining it, Tiralilin shook her head slightly.
"I have never seen this person, but he has the aura of time power. He must be the mastermind of tonight's sneak attack."
"Then catch him and ask him."
While the two were talking, forty cavalrymen had already rushed to the gate of the manor and started to break down the door without any notice.
The manor is not for military purposes, and the gate is just an ordinary thick wooden door. It depends on the situation and can only last for a few minutes at most.
As the attack began, the manor immediately fell into chaos.
The barking of dogs, the neighing of horses, roars, and screams rose and fell in the darkness.
Because of the windproof oil lamp, there was still some light in the manor. With the light, the detection seal was effective.
With the help of the detection seal, Rosen clearly saw that the five crossbow assassins lurking outside the courtyard wall immediately took action.
They took advantage of the chaos, quietly climbed over the manor wall, sneaked into the yard, and then immediately found a secret place to hide.
To be honest, if Rosen didn't have strong detection capabilities, he might have really been defeated by the ambushing crossbows of these five guys when he was concentrating on facing the cavalry.
Unfortunately, Rosen's biggest focus was intelligence gathering, and his opponents greatly underestimated the limits of his capabilities.
He did not delay any longer. Standing in the bedroom, he drew out the sword of annihilation and stabbed it into the air in front of him.
'puff!'
One of the crossbow assassins was stabbed to death silently.
The Sword of Annihilation can ignore spatial distance and launch an attack directly, but it also has limitations.
The biggest limitation is still the spatial distance.
Every time the space crossed doubles in length, the energy expended increases dramatically at the square of the distance, and the reason is the characteristics of space and time.
Because of this, if the target is 5 meters away from his body, Rosen can stab out more than 40 swords in one second, but if he hides more than 40 meters away, not only will the power consumption increase greatly, but he can only stab out one sword every 2 seconds.
'puff!'
2 seconds later, the second crossbow assassin died.
These assassins were all very powerful, and after two of them died suddenly, the third assassin finally noticed it and immediately looked around for an enemy lurking in the dark.
Unfortunately, the enemy he faced was not a mortal, so these vigilance actions were doomed to be in vain.
'Puff! Puff! Puff!'
The remaining three assassins also fell to the ground one by one.
The way they died was the same, with a sudden bloody hole appearing between their eyebrows, and they fell limply to the ground.
"Dong~Dong~~"
The cavalry outside the manor gate had not noticed anything had happened and were still pounding on the thick wooden door with their hammers.
These cavalrymen were farther away, about 60 meters, and it took Rosen more than 3 seconds to stab with his sword.
I used the detection seal to check the condition of the gate and it couldn't hold out for much longer.
After thinking for a while, Rosen aimed at the main cavalry attacking the goal and raised his hand to strike with a sword.
'puff!'
This cavalryman was very tall and strong, just like a bear. The war hammer in his hand weighed at least 20 kilograms. When he raised it high, there was a flash of blue and white light, and a line of blood suddenly appeared between his eyebrows. The whole person lost his life immediately.
"Plop~~"
The warrior as strong as a bear immediately fell to the ground, which shocked the surrounding warriors. They subconsciously stopped attacking and looked around, looking for the opponent hiding in the dark.
"Who? Come out!"
"You despicable sneak attacker! Get out of here!"
"Alert~Alert."
"Puff~" The man fell to the ground halfway through shouting, with a cut on his forehead, and white brain matter mixed with red blood kept flowing out.
The person is dead.
Finally someone saw the blue and white light.
"Oh no, it's evil magic!"
“It’s so scary!”
"There really is a terrible devil living in the manor!"
The soldiers outside the gate shouted.
"No, set fire~burn it with fire."
"Puff~~"
The soldier who shouted "set fire" also fell to the ground.
But the other soldiers also understood what he meant and began to light torches and set fire.
Tira Lilin was a little anxious: "The manor buildings are all made of wood, and they can't withstand fire attacks."
Rosen smiled slightly: "It's okay, they're just ordinary torches, I bet they can't light a fire."
As he spoke, he thought about it and cast a second-level fate spell, the spell effect was "cannot be ignited".
At the gate of the manor, the soldiers were busy with flints, crackling and making sparks fly, but they couldn't light the oil torches they carried with them.
But every 3 seconds or so, a soldier would fall to the ground and die.
Apart from the faint blue-white light, there was no other source of attack, so it was naturally impossible to avoid it.
But these soldiers were really brave. When they saw the sixth soldier fall to the ground and the torch could not be lit, someone immediately shouted.
"Break the door! Break the door! Rush in!"
He swung the hammer again, intending to continue breaking the door.
Rosen just looked at the opponent. Whoever swung the hammer the hardest and rushed to the front would die first.
Twenty seconds later, six more fell, but the gate of the manor remained intact.
At this time, there were already fifteen soldiers, and they couldn't even find where the enemy was, let alone break through the door.
Fighting spirit almost completely dissipated and fear began to spread.
"What should we do? The devil is too powerful~ We are no match for him!"
"How about retreating?"
"Retreat? Where to retreat?"
"We are warriors, and warriors can only die"
"Poof~~" The warrior died before he could finish his words.
"Use the shield to block your forehead~~Block your forehead~~"
Someone shouted.
The soldiers did just that.
Rosen smiled slightly, and like a cat playing with a mouse, he poked it from the back of the head.
"Block it from behind too~Block it from behind too~~"
Rosen poked upwards from the bottom.
"Below~ and below~~"
Rosen had an idea to play a prank, so he thrust the sword directly out of the opponent's body, piercing his heart.
Because the opponent is a mortal warrior and has no time magic to protect himself, he can stab from anywhere on the opponent's body.
The person who was stabbed trembled all over and fell to the ground limply, without any visible wounds on his body.
“Ah~~”
The incomprehensible and strange situation caused extreme fear.
One soldier's will completely collapsed. He let out a distorted scream and turned and ran away.
When one person ran, the other soldiers collapsed and turned to run after him.
Naturally, the threat to the manor was completely eliminated.
Rosen did not kill them all.
He doesn't like killing, and killing is just a means for him to achieve his goals, and he never overuses it.
The best option is to let these frightened guys run away and let them spread the fear of themselves.
Because, in the absence of absolute power, fear is his best protection.
But he was not idle either.
Gathering his strength, he stabbed the mysterious man hiding in the tree canopy with a sword.
He didn't stab any vital parts because he wanted to save the victim.
"Dang~Puff"
The sword was blocked, but not completely, and the blade penetrated the opponent's body.
Judging from the bloodstains, it had penetrated at least 8 centimeters.
"Plop~"
I vaguely saw a figure falling from a big tree.
After a few seconds, he struggled to his feet and limped away, surprisingly fast.
Rosen naturally couldn't let him get away.
Aim at the opponent's right leg and stab with the Sword of Annihilation again.
"Plop~"
The other person fell to the ground.
This guy is also a ruthless person. He took out a dagger and was about to commit suicide by slitting his throat.
'when!'
The arm holding the dagger was stabbed again and the dagger fell to the ground.
The first suicide attempt failed.
Rosen immediately jumped out of the bedroom window and rushed towards the mysterious man at full speed.
When he was halfway there, he saw the mysterious man pick up a dagger with his left hand and was determined to commit suicide.
At this time, Rosen was less than 30 meters away from the opponent, and he immediately stabbed out the second sword.
"Puff~"
The mysterious man's left arm was also pierced, the dagger fell to the ground again, and the whole person collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
But he was also really cruel and was about to bite his tongue.
'when!'
When he bit down, he bit the blade of the Sword of Annihilation, breaking many of his teeth, but his tongue was intact.
At this time, Rosen had already arrived in front of the other party, pulled out the Sword of Annihilation from the other party's mouth, and shook off the blood on the sword with disgust.
At the same time, he kicked the opponent on the head, knocking him unconscious.
He smiled in his heart: "You are so obsessed with hiding your identity, are you afraid of my revenge?"
