A dazzling flame spurted out from the muzzle, along with countless broken iron beads.

Tuke could clearly see the shotgun.

This gun is only half the length of an adult's arm. The gun body is black. With the help of reflection, one can vaguely see the magic patterns etched on the gun body and the intricate and beautiful patterns of the Galifar period. Its handle is made of bronze wood, and from a distance, it seems to have a special jade-like luster.

This is undoubtedly an excellent magic musket, and its power is worthy of the decorations on it.

"puff!"

A slight tearing sound was heard, and Tuke's magical equipment automatically activated as danger approached.

But the iron balls fired from the shotgun were too many and too dense.

Almost at the same time when the magic equipment generated the magic shield, the structure of the shield was devastated.

The two bodyguards standing next to Tuke were affected, and one of their arms was beaten into a sieve by the remaining iron beads.

Blood spurted out as if it was free.

Just when the iron bead was about to cause more serious injuries to Tuke, his dragon pattern was instantly activated, and an invisible wall formed by strong winds instantly opened up in front of him.

The high-speed flying iron ball stopped moving almost instantly, and was then carried into the air by the wind wall.

Dragon pattern spell, wind wall spell.

"Enemy attack! Kill them!"

Without paying attention to the two bodyguards beside him, Tuke loudly gave orders to all family members present.

The dragon pattern activation special effects appeared one after another throughout the hall, but this change was not only aimed at the Storm Dragon Pattern Family, but also included the three Takkanan assassins.

Three alien dragon patterns that did not belong to the Twelve Dragon Pattern Family lit up on the bodies of the three people one after another, and the area surrounding the hall suddenly began to shake.

The assassin leader holding a shotgun didn't care about anything around him at this time. He rushed towards Tuke with all his might. He was like a ghost and actually passed through the objects blocking him.

“Crack!”

The old-fashioned shotgun was loaded again, and the assassin leader passed directly through the wind wall, with the muzzle of the gun almost against Tuke's chest.

Tuke never thought that the enemy could bypass his fourth-ring spell and come to him. For a moment he was a little confused.

He was about to make an evasive move, but at this moment, another gunshot echoed in his ears.

His body seemed to have suddenly lost all its strength, and everything in front of him dimmed in an instant.

With a "thump", Tuke's still strong body fell limply to the ground, and the dark red sticky blood was quickly staining his clothes.

"Success! Retreat!"

Seeing Tuke fall, the flaxen-haired man smiled with satisfaction.

And the three of them were quickly changing back to their original appearance.

The halfling female had been beaten so badly that she could hardly stand up, but when she heard that the assassination was successful, she suddenly laughed out loud.

The three of them quickly moved together again, and the Storm Dragon Mark members present also wanted to capture them for questioning, so they surrounded them.

At this moment, the half-orc covered in blood suddenly activated his dragon spell, and the three of them suddenly turned into three balls of white mist and rushed outside.

"not good!"

Realizing that the situation was not good, more than a dozen Storm Dragon Mark holders released dragon mark spells one after another, trying to trap the white fog.

But the white mist was flying too fast. Just as their spell was taking shape, the opponent had already escaped from the effective range of the spell.

So they could only watch the three people escape from the hall.

"Quick! Go find the priest! The rest of you follow me!"

Seeing that his and others' efforts were in vain, a consul had to find a way to make up for it.

…

"Ouch~, if that guy had hit him directly in the head, he might have died."

Evening, Bastion.

After listening to Joanna's account of what happened, Carl commented with a slightly crooked butt.

These words caused Joanna to smile awkwardly, but in the end she did not accuse Carl of "rude remarks".

As a noble, she had a certain understanding of the Takkanan family, and she also knew about the blood feud between the Dragonmark Family and the Takkanan Assassins.

If it weren't for the spies sent by the Ruiyi Drow Empire, Joanna, as the "deputy mayor" of Storm Bay, actually didn't want to help the Dragonmark Family track down those assassins.

"This matter has become such a big deal now. I feel that the Dragon Mark Family is behind this."

After lamenting in her heart, Johanna showed a clean smile again and asked Karl: “Senior Karl, what did you say before…”

Carl: "Okay, okay, I will lead the team to Dalcat Port tomorrow and ask the Linland family to arrange a speedboat."

Hearing this, Joanna finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could feel at ease, she heard Karl continue: “But I can’t guarantee that I can catch those people.”

Joanna: "Of course! After all, no one can guarantee such a thing."

Seeing that Joanna agreed so readily, Karl pondered for a moment and said again:

“Or I’ll take Hope, Nia, and Ying with me, and you guys organize the rest of the adventurers to chase us from land.

Although splitting the troops into two groups will disperse the strength, from your description just now, the hard power of those assassins is just so-so.

The space jump phenomenon in Xen'drik might allow the land team to quickly rush to Dalcart to wait for an opportunity."

Compared to other high-level adventurers who might not obey orders, Carl trusts his relatives and friends more.

Joanna: "Uh~, what about the control of the construct army?"

Carl: "Of course I'll leave it to my master! Don't worry, although he has been obsessed with research recently, if something really happens, he can still protect you!"

When he first came back and saw Mooreban, Carl felt that his master should have been promoted to level 17 or even 18.

Now that the other party has been researching for such a long time, its strength will definitely not weaken.

"What about you, Senior Carl? Aren't you going to bring some of your constructs with you?"

Although she had seen Carl's mecha and power armor, Joanna still felt that the construct army had greater direct killing power.

Thinking that Carl was going to chase after them with Hope, Nia and others, she couldn't help but feel worried.

But after hearing Joanna's concerns, Karl smiled.

He moved his fingers, and suddenly there was a noise coming from a room in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, three metal structures with insect-like appearance walked out.

The construct in the middle was painted red, while the other two were grey-black with a hint of purple.

However, they only differ in color; the rest of their bodies are exactly the same, including the triangular-section barrel on their backs.

This is the "Phantom Construct" that Carl created based on the Genosackert in Pokémon.

Not only does it possess a certain level of intelligence, but it can also interact with Carl's psychic powers to perform very sophisticated operations.
