52. Plans can't keep up with changes

Elpino confirmed from the corner of his eyes that his guards had already stood at the right position, and then he turned around confidently to face Cassandra.

"About the Blood Wolf, did he reveal anything to you before he died?"

Of course there is, but it is not before dying, but before leaving, it is some information about Kassandra's mother.

But of course Cassandra could not tell the poisonous snake in front of her. She deliberately let her temper go angrily: "What do you do with you! This question has nothing to do with my mission!"

“Wow~”

Elpino said with a smile: "I'm really hot-tempered. Should I say this is blood inheritance? It's exactly the same as that guy."

"That guy? Bloodline inheritance?"

Kassandra was confused: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Elpino sighed regretfully: "The prompt I gave is obvious enough. As expected, you are also a simple mind and well-developed person...well."

He raised his right hand and made a gesture. Elpino said disappointedly: "I originally planned to provide a generous reward to let you continue to do something for me, but now..."

Kassandra noticed that the surrounding gods guards were quickly surrounding her, but she still did not admit defeat.

"Maraka! You want to break the contract!"

Elpino shrugged and retreated backwards under the protection of the guards.

"What a pity... let's start, one is annoying enough. We don't need another demigod who is also brainless."

"To fight? Very good!"

Cassandra had been furious for a long time and finally entered the link she was best at. The Hawk Trainer pulled out his broken spear without saying a word to prepare for the battle.

Before the fight started, Cassandra, who was boiling with blood, still remembered to send the agreed signal first.

"Ma~la~ka!"

He roared loudly and distantly to the sky, and even the residents of Kira Town, who were far away in the port, could vaguely hear the howl, and turned their heads in surprise to find the source of the sound.

Elpino and the God Guards thought that Cassandra just released his anger before the battle began, encouraging himself in the form of a war cry.

However, this roar was actually an attack signal to the companion ambushed in the dark.

Elpino's luxury estate has three floors in total.

In the courtyard on the first floor, there was a group of God's guards holding swords and shields surrounded Kassandra. There were also several archers standing on the second and third floors. They had already bent their bows and arrows at Kassandra.

"Swoosh!"

One of the archers suddenly had an arrow growing on his neck without armor. He was dragged down by the power attached to the arrow, and he was confused and welcomed death with a confused look on his face.

Archers hiding at a safe distance to shoot cold arrows are different from guards below who arm their teeth. They are only wearing armor that protects key parts such as the heart, and have no defense on their necks.

One of the companions suddenly fell down by an arrow, and the other archers were shocked.

They temporarily gave up their attack on Cassandra and each hid in bunkers to find the attacker's position.

"The enemy has long-range support, please pay attention to avoiding!"

The warning from the archers made Elpino, who was slowly evacuating, twitched his face.

Without even caring about continuing to show off, Elpino accelerated his pace surrounded by the guards.

Xin Sheng had already arrived under the exterior wall of Elpino Manor at this time, and the previous cold arrow was shot out from the secret.

‘Come on, a new experience is waiting for you.’

Seeing Elpino and others about to step into the trap, the loud roar from behind scared Xin Sheng, who was fully focused, was so shocked.

"charge!!"

"……ha?"

He turned around in surprise and Natiya, who was supposed to provide remote support in the rear, rushed up at some point.

She raised the round shield in her left hand to protect her torso, and shouted and charged towards Elpino, who was also surprised.

Xin Sheng's scalp was a little numb, and the plan he had made had deviated from the beginning.

"Can't you wait for Elpino to step on the trap before coming out!"

The 14-year-old girl showed her intention to grow up in front of her guardian beyond Xin Sheng's expectations. Natiya's usual precocious performance made him misjudgment about the girl's temper and habits.

When she was fighting against the One-Eyed Man in Kefalonia, Natiya had been forced to be a long-range support. This time she didn't want to be an outsider watching the fire from the other side of the river.

Most of the mercenaries are lonely wolves, and they are all used to doing their own things. It is indeed a bit difficult to rely on them to understand tactics and order execution.

Kassandra was willing to follow Xin Sheng's instructions because Nicolaos had educated her in Spartan discipline since she was a child, and there was no such obedience training left by Natiya alone.

Fortunately, Natiya at least knew to bypass the trap set by Xin Sheng. She was very clear about where there were traps when watching the whole process.

"Enemy's reinforcement! Protect the master!"

The God Guard who escorted Elpino stood in front of him with responsibilities, raised his shield and lowered his center of gravity, ready to meet Natiya's savage collision.

"Bang!"

The two solid shields collided together and made a loud noise.

Natiya has less power, but she is the party that takes the initiative to attack, and she will break the shield of the God Cult guard who is responsible for defense, so the other party will open the door.

Natiya stabbed the sword into the enemy's unguarded chest without hesitation, and the four close guards took one first.

"Oh~"

Xin Sheng shook his head with a wry smile. The unexpected emergencies made him have to give up his original plan.

If the plan is strictly followed, Elpino and others will step into the trap set by Xin Sheng and hang upside down in front of the manor gate one by one.

Other guards of the Divine Cult will definitely hurriedly try to save their master, ignoring their own safety protection.

At this time, Xin Sheng will appear and kill the God Cult guards who are trying to rescue them as quickly as possible.

Then he used Elpino's life to threaten the remaining guards to put down their weapons. Depending on the other party's reaction, he decided whether to break into the manor to collect clues or take Elpino away and torture it directly.

Natiya's unexpected actions disrupted Xin Sheng's plan. He could only exchange positions with Natiya first, suppress the archers on the second and third floors, and relieve the pressure on Kassandra.

Xin Sheng did not improve accuracy by shooting in a fixed-point manner like Natiya. His archery skills are far above Natiya, and he can guarantee a high hit rate even in his sports condition.

Due to the haste, Xin Sheng did not use the Artemis bow that he had just obtained the short-lived Artemis bow, but continued to use the 60-pound classical hunting bow to shoot the enemy.

The balcony guardrail on the second floor of Elpino Manor is designed with a blank design, which is worthy of appreciation from an aesthetic point of view, but it leaves hidden dangers for the archers hiding behind the guardrail.

If you are a archer with insufficient accuracy, these small holes will not produce any effect.

But for Xin Sheng, as long as the holes that can pass through the arrows is equivalent to being unprepared.

"ah!"

An archer who was shot through the hole in his waist was hiding on the second floor and fell to the ground in pain, covering the part of the arrow with his hands, trying to slow down the blood loss.

However, his actions were destined to be useless.

If the liver area is hit by a sharp weapon, it is basically equivalent to being sentenced to death in this era.

Xin Sheng, who released the continuous bead arrow at high speed, did not force a single blow to kill, as long as he could remove the enemy's combat power.

Just by shooting against more than a dozen archers, you must first ensure your safety. Flexible maneuvers are inevitable.

Xin Sheng used the shadows of buildings such as the pergola in the manor to prevent the archers upstairs from predicting his movements.

Although I dare not say that I quickly cleared all the archers upstairs, Xin Sheng did rely on his own strength to restrain more than a dozen archers under Elpino, eliminating Cassandra's worries.

After glanced at Cassandra who was still hiding inside, Xin Sheng turned his gaze to Natiya with some concern.

Although he killed one of them by sneak attack, Elpino specially selected personal guards for himself were all the elite.

After all, Natiya is not a demigod with a perverted physique like Kassandra. With three against one, Natiya is quickly forced to go from attack to defense.

Fortunately, the round shield in her hand blocked many attacks, and at least she had no worries about her life in a short period of time.
