Chapter 285: The enemy has not yet arrived on the battlefield

Chapter 280 – The Enemy Hasn’t Arrived at the Battlefield Yet
Peters came this time because yesterday Owen mentioned the Servant Academy, he remembered it in his heart, and this time he came in order to bring Owen along to go forward to the Servant Academy.

Although take Owen to seek flowers to do the same way is not bad, is conducive to deepen feelings, the future may not have to do each other to push the back of the good brother, I am afraid that the other side of the face is thin can not let go, so the first slower to come, test under the depths of the say, so the two people get on the carriage to go to the College of the Servant first.

Servant Academy is also a very old academy, but also the most popular academy, mainly to receive five or six year old children, after more than ten years of training to cultivate talent.

However, just like the knighthood, the maids and butlers of the service academy are also divided into grades.

The lowest class of maids, apart from being loyal, are just ordinary maids who specialize in serving, and although they are skilled, they are not irreplaceable.

The most powerful maids, such as Maya, have the ability to take charge of their own affairs, and their abilities are no less than those of the nobles who have received an elite education.

The number of stewards is even smaller, because the ability is more comprehensive, for this reason every steward has to receive close to twenty years of teaching, has the ability to skillfully manage the castle, territory and various affairs, is the indispensable right hand of the nobles.

This kind of loyal and capable staff is not too much, but not everyone can recruit them, ordinary maids can be recruited, there are many of them, so those who have connections can recruit a few, but not the high level maids, they need corresponding titles and status, and the quality and quantity of the maids that can be recruited are also different.

For example, Peters’ old man, as a powerful earl, he can hire a butler and four high-quality maids for life.

Pieters’ maids were given to him by his father, because he doesn’t have the qualification to recruit, unless he inherits the title, so on the way, he is very envious of Owen, who has the qualification to recruit, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have the idea of father’s kindness and filial piety nowadays, or else Owen would have to give him a hand.

Owen, who was talking happily with Pieters, suddenly paused for a moment, and Pieters, keenly aware of this, opened his mouth in some doubt.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just ran into some little rats in the way.” Owen said with a sneer, and then knocked on the window, the witch hunters and Teutonic warriors who followed along the way immediately surrounded the carriage.

Pieters instantly turned green because he didn’t think that the little mice Owen was talking about were really mice, nine times out of ten, they were assassins.

But the reason for his ugly face was not that he had met an assassin, but his headache was how the assassin had come.

Assassins were not necessarily used to assassinate, but were often a means of probing and warning, the problem was that Owen had only just arrived in the Imperial Capital Circle, what kind of person would make a move?
Come to think of it, he had always appeared as a fop and showed a strong sense of revenge, no matter the size and girth, he was the most suitable one, how could this make Peters’ face look good.

What Pieters could think of, Owen could of course also think of, but he really didn’t suspect the other party, because if it was the other party who did it, then he wouldn’t be in the same carriage with himself.

The main reason was that Owen had already guessed who the other party was.

From the time he bought Vanessa, Owen expected that there would be such a day, or else he wouldn’t have let Shinobu stay on his guard in the dark.

Not long ago Vanessa was reborn, the other party obviously knew through some means, but did not know the specifics, coupled with the fact that on that day Owen sent Vanessa to the Northland, which was thousands of miles away, and therefore could only look for himself, which led to this assassination, it is that I do not know how many people came, and how the strength is. In fact, in the place where the two people can not see, the two sides have begun to fight for their lives.

Only peers understand peers better, responsible for secretly guarding the safety of the master’s Shinobu the first time to notice the gradually approaching murderous aura.

“There is an enemy, notify the master, inform the Witch Hunt, the ninja is ready to hunt.” Shinobu’s eyes were cold to the extreme, she could not tolerate anyone threatening her master, this was the meaning of her existence.

The ninjas hidden in the darkness heard the order and flew to communicate through their eyes and hand signals, then immediately dispersed and began to set up traps to compete for the first-mover advantage.

Vanessa’s enemies only knew that Owen was a slightly powerful northland nobleman with a number of powerful knights under his command, the more specific situation was actually not clear, coupled with the fact that this mistake made the chief furious and was personally rushing here, causing them in order to salvage their mistake in time not to care about investigating any further, and at the first time gathered the surrounding manpower to attack, trying to plunder the other party away so as to regain control of Vanessa in their hands, or else their would have ended up worse than dead.

However, they forgot that assassination is never a purely craft work, the importance of intelligence is half of the importance, so they neglected the preliminary investigation fell into the ninja’s death net and did not even know it.

The light gray, almost transparent threads were inconspicuous anywhere, let alone in the forest, so it wasn’t until the trap was triggered that the unlucky assassins realized they had been ambushed.

The well-trained assassins had to move their position at the first time, but unfortunately it was too late, the sharpest organ had already ejected the same dark gray bitterness, and also triggered a chain of traps in the surrounding area, leaving the other party with nowhere to run away.

At the same time that the several assassins who triggered the traps were pierced into sieves by the ejected bitters, the other assassins did not have any hesitation, they dispersed at the first time and tried to hide in the shadows, because only in this way would they have a chance to counterattack.

Unfortunately, they had encountered peers, or peers who were good at cooperating and taking the lead.

Ninja squads never acted alone, they were formed in groups of ten, consisting of one Nakanobu paired with nine Lower Ninjas, and could be split into three separate action squads when necessary, and thus were capable of handling most assassination missions, and had a considerable advantage, especially when it came to hunting and killing.

But this time their opponents were equally uncomplicated, real assassins, cold-blooded, ruthless, and highly efficient, both sides were engaged in a fierce exchange around the carriage where Owen was, and the slightest mistake would cost them their lives.

The assassins are good at sneaking, and mastering the explosive power of fighting qi, after drawing close to the distance, the sudden burst can let them realize the level of assassination.

Ninjas are also not weak, also good at sneaking, although they do not know how to fight, but from the ghost of the blade of the breathing method is also a high explosive skills.

Both sides were in a tit-for-tat battle, it could be said that both sides had mastered the ability to kill with a single strike, like hunters roaming the dark jungle with shotguns in hand, whoever found the other side first and launched an attack, would be able to survive.

On the whole, the ninja team had the advantage, because compared to the assassins who fought alone, they were also well versed in cooperation, and would not hesitate to use their own bodies and lives to create killing opportunities for their teammates when necessary.

However, the fight between the ninjas and the assassins is not the real key to the victory of this conflict, because the real enemy has not yet arrived on the battlefield.
