Chapter 129
Old Mel nodded.
Then he closed the door and headed to the center of the village with Eliza.
The villagers they passed warmly greeted Old Mel when they saw him.
Upon hearing that Old Mel was leaving with Cao Xing, the villagers looked surprised…
“Oh! Mr. Mel, are you really leaving Hog Village to live elsewhere?”
“What a pity… My two children grew up drinking milk from your cows.”
“Yes, the other two cowkeepers in the village have set the milk prices too high… If Mr. Mel leaves, where will I get cheap fresh milk?”
The villagers wore worried expressions.
Soon, he was surrounded by a group of women.
It was evident that Old Mel was highly regarded.
He maintained a peaceful smile, bidding farewell to all the villagers who knew him.
And when the villagers heard that Old Mel was leaving with Cao Xing, many displayed envious expressions.
“Really envy Mr. Mel, being chosen by such a powerful Lord!”
“Yes, the Lord must have such strong knights under him, his territory must be extremely safe.”
“I wish I could be noticed by such a Lord…”
Cao Xing chuckled softly: “Eliza, it seems your father is quite popular with the women in the village!”
Eliza flashed a little tiger-tooth grin and said: “Of course, my father is very friendly to the neighbors. In the entire Hog Village, after the Village Chief, he’s the second in prestige!”
Cao Xing shook his head, “Your father will be chatting with those women for a while. Let’s go ahead and wait for him at the Village Chief’s house.”
The group followed Cao Xing as they walked ahead.
Just as they passed by the tavern they had seen before, Cao Xing suddenly frowned.
That feeling of being watched appeared again.
He looked around, puzzled: “What exactly is it?”
In that instant, Cao Xing felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Three shadows silently appeared on the rooftop of the adjacent building.
Their movements were decisive and swift.
The moment they saw Cao Xing, they hurled three hidden weapons from their hands.
The speed was unimaginable!
In that moment, Cao Xing felt a massive danger engulf him.
Time seemed to slow down unbelievably.
He saw three daggers, glowing green, magnifying in his pupils.
Meanwhile, the shadowy Sarah, with a face mixed with shock and anger, rushed forward at the first sign.
Just as the daggers were about to reach Han Xing’s face, a golden shield suddenly activated.
“Crack!”
With a shattering sound,
A layer of Holy Shield on Cao Xing shattered, but he suffered no damage.
Immediately after, two more daggers flew towards him.
“Crack! Crack!”
Three layers of Holy Shield around Cao Xing broke completely!
Not only that, but the three assassins hurled two more daggers.
They intended to finish off Cao Xing in one strike!
At the same time, Sarah swiftly darted through the shadows.
With a sharp slash of the Shadow Blade in her hand,
“Ding! Ding!”
After two clear metallic sounds, Sarah blocked the two incoming daggers.
The first wave of crisis was averted, and a cold sweat broke out on Cao Xing.
That layer of Holy Shield was a lifesaver!
Although he did not know the strength of the assassins attacking him, just from the sharpness of their attacks, one could see they were certainly terrifying!
Meanwhile, Assam and Renice also reacted instantly.
“Damn it! Someone’s attacking the Lord!”
“Unforgivable!”
Assam and Renice were filled with fury, drawing their weapons and rushing to Cao Xing’s side.
The assassins seemed to realize that their actions had been exposed.
They swiftly leaped from the rooftop, rushing towards Cao Xing with lightning speed.
Three gleaming daggers rapidly approached Cao Xing and the others.
Not only that, but Cao Xing also saw a number of Hunters wearing red spiral masks, holding long knives and longswords, quickly emerging from behind the nearby houses!
At that moment, Cao Xing realized the identity of the assassins.
“It’s actually these guys!”
By now, the three assassins had already charged forward.
With anger and killing intent on her face, Sarah coldly declared: “Vile worms, dare to offend the Lord, I will take your heads!”
Sarah instantly surged forward.
With the boost from the [Queen’s Will], her move speed was terrifyingly fast, surpassing the three assassins completely.
In that instant, the Shadow Blade clashed with the three daggers.
Ding! Ding ding!
After three metallic clashes, the three shadows swiftly retreated!
Their eyes displayed a look of surprise.
“What a strong assassin!”
“I thought they said there was only a Second Order Leader Level knight by his side?”
“Damn it! The information was wrong!”
Meanwhile, Sarah, like a mother tiger, charged at them with ferocious movements, as if to tear the three assassins to shreds.
The assassins were completely suppressed by Sarah, unable to counterattack.
Seeing this, Cao Xing let out a sigh of relief, “Damn, I almost wet myself!”
“Thank goodness I had the Holy Shield.”
At this time, Liu Muxue also raised her shield, focusing all her attention, standing guard by Cao Xing.
The recent assassination attempt had frightened her as well.
In fact, with Cao Xing’s current Life Value and his full set of buffs, even if Sarah hadn’t shown up, he might barely have managed to withstand the remaining two attacks.
However, he would have found himself in a very dangerous position.
