Chapter 115 Sneak Attack and Response

"careful!"

"presumptuous!"

Without any signs, the city lord's personal guards drew their swords and rushed forward. There were six of them, including the captain of the personal guards. They didn't care about the city lord and his son behind them at all. Their first move was earth-shattering, and they made a fatal attack on the apprentice in front of them.

Their move was beyond everyone's expectations and caught everyone off guard.

Seeing this, the city lord and his son were horrified and hurriedly picked up their weapons to stop it.

The next second, they saw a scene that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Swift wood moths emerged from Yi Wen's apprentice robe and shot towards the assassin behind him like bullets, one after another.

The assassin is reckless and only wants to kill his target. He fights for his life and doesn't care whether he is injured or not.

The bodies of swift wood moths are made of steel, and anyone who underestimates them will pay a heavy price.

The assassins were hit and fell one by one in less than two seconds.

"kill!"

The assassins who fell to the ground still had ferocious faces and kept struggling, as if they wanted to kill Ivan. However, their limbs had been crippled by the Swift Wood Moth, and it was difficult for them to stand up.

The swift wood moths crawled out of their bodies, bringing out large pieces of flesh and blood, but it did not change the assassin's mind to kill the target.

"Well done."

Ivan was already alert, and when the assassination broke out, he took a few steps to the side and front. When he turned around, he found that Xunmucan had resolved the crisis and he didn't need to take any action.

If he didn't want to leave any survivors, none of those who attacked him would have survived.

"Sir Ivan, are you okay?" The city lord Simmons was shocked and angry. At the moment, he could only suppress other emotions and looked at Ivan nervously, hoping that the other party would not blame the Swamp Forest City.

His personal guards were carefully selected by him. They were all mid-to-high-level knights. They were all knocked down by the wizard apprentices in front of them in the blink of an eye. With such strength, it would be easy for them to deal with him. How could he not be worried?

Ivan ignored Simmons and ran quickly to the other side of the street.

After a while, he stopped at a corner of the street and didn't see anyone suspicious.

"He ran away? Or was there no one watching him?"

He just noticed some unusual movements, but unfortunately he was a step too late.

Ivan pressed his fingers lightly, and a trace of breath gathered. The next second, a spell was cast. The breath turned into a butterfly. The butterfly flapped its wings, and its entire body shattered. The tracking spell failed.

Sure enough, it doesn’t work.

The failure of the tracking spell made him conclude that there must be other apprentices behind the scenes who were quite powerful.

"Sir, do you want to conduct a city-wide search?" Simmons and his son followed him from a distance, and only came closer when they saw him return.

"No need, this is a cunning enemy."

"Sir Ivan, please believe that the previous attack was definitely not arranged by us. I didn't know they were also infected with the disease, otherwise I would not dare to arrange them around me. If we were not careful, my father and I would have died here. Speaking of this, I have to thank you for clearing the hidden dangers around us."

His own guards had gone mad, and this made Simmons extremely scared. If they had launched the same sneak attack on him as before, he felt that he would not have been able to dodge it in such a hurry. If such an accident happened, he would definitely be in danger of death.

Ivan returned to the assassination scene: "This matter needs to be investigated. You guys can handle the mercenaries. I will check these assassins first."

The guards still retained their fierce side. Sure enough, there were patterns made up of lines in their eyes. Compared with the ones on the beasts' heads, these were more complete and delicate. Ivan checked them one by one.

He felt a vague sense of familiarity. What kind of rune was it?

While he was thinking carefully, the city lord Simmons ordered the guards to turn defense into offense.

"Break their hands and feet for me." Simmons was irritated by the betrayal of his personal guards. He issued new orders fiercely. Only by making the mad people lose their ability to move can he avoid hidden dangers.

The guards are stronger than the mercenaries, and the mercenaries have now become mad beasts, and their fighting power is even lower than when they were sober.

After a while, the guards paid some price and captured their opponent.

Ivan ignored all this. While the mercenaries were still going crazy, he checked the patterns that appeared in their eyes. They were not as complete as those in the attacker's eyes.

"I see. The pattern is more like a meditation rune. No wonder it gives people a sense of familiarity." He muttered to himself. This was not unexpected to him. The pattern could control people, and it was something spiritual.

What made him suspicious was that the other party could actually control so many people, which made him think deeply.

He thought of the cloud servants on Lar Island. Perhaps there was a special rune magic array behind them, or there was a powerful magical item. In short, there must be a control hub in Swamp Forest City that could control these people.

If such a thing could be found, the mission would certainly see a breakthrough.

Thinking of this, he prepared to find Gina to explain the situation.

The arcane mark didn't respond, which meant Gina was out of call range, so she had to leave a message instead.

The incident caused by the mercenaries and bodyguards quickly came to an end. They all had their limbs broken and were sent to cells. After the two groups of people recovered, they explained what had happened.

"I just remember that I was very angry and had a violent temper in my body. I just wanted to destroy and kill. If I didn't do it, I would feel uncomfortable all over. If I did it, it seemed that my strength would increase a lot."

"So I followed my inner feelings and acted. I don't remember what I destroyed or killed."

"Lord City Lord, please spare my life. I didn't do it on purpose. I was bewitched by someone."

When the mercenary woke up, he discovered his new condition. His hands and feet were broken and he was locked in a cell. It was like a bolt from the blue for everyone.

Ivan asked a lot of questions, no matter how big or small. He analyzed that these people could not have been controlled for no reason. There must be a common medium among them, and this medium was related to the control hub.

As long as we follow this clue, we should be able to find out what is behind the accident.

"Sir, I have said everything I should say. Please forgive my sins. I am the only one in the family who can make money. My family is still waiting for me to return. Please."

"Yes, yes. If I don't go back, my whole family will die. Please give us a way to live."

The mercenaries knew that they had to get out as soon as possible. In the prison environment, their injuries would quickly worsen and might become incurable. By then, it would be too late.

"You have to support your families. Don't the people you killed need your families too?" Simmons said coldly.

The mercenaries felt their hearts sink upon hearing this; the situation they least wanted to see had finally occurred.

Before the guards arrived, they not only destroyed things in the city, but also killed seven civilians and injured a dozen people. All of this certainly cannot be easily forgotten.

Ivan came to the cell on the other side, where the guards who attacked him were held.

Under the attack of the Swift Wood Silkworm, the guards were more seriously injured than the mercenaries.

"Tell me, who ordered you to attack Lord Ivan?"

Upon hearing this, some of the guards looked at their city lord in confusion and anger, their faces filled with pain and hesitation.

Their eyes have already told others the answer to this question.
