Surviving As A Cannon Fodder

CHAPTER 68

"Look at you. Snarling at me like a wounded animal"

"You don't need to be so angry" Taunted the masked assassin in a childish tone.

He seemed to be the head of all the assassins the Frost Knights had fought so far.

He stopped walking and extended his hands towards the knights. On receiving the orders, the others behind him started to attack them.

"CHARGE!" Sir Tate was the first one to swing his sword.

The major disadvantage of mages was that they were weak to physical attacks.

The knights used this point as leverage and focused on the mages while dodging their attacks.

Sir Tate took down two mages at once after attacking them from behind. The other knights were not far off taking down the enemies at their own paces.

All this while, the head assassin was watching the show as a spectator. He was even clapping and whistling at times.

Sir Tate stood in front of him covered in blood.

If he were to defeat the head assassin then victory will be ensured.

"Oh...You're here for me" The head assassin pointed to himself, recognizing Sir Tate's intent. 

He was still talking like a child while his comrades were fighting with their lives. Unfazed by the blood spilling on both sides, he was enjoying the fight as if he was watching a play unfold.

In an instant, the playfulness in his face disappeared. It was full of malice wanting to see bloodshed.

With a single flick of his hand, he sent the knight who tried to ambush him from behind flying.

The knight was thrown towards the trees. He rolled on the floor and groaned with pain, heavily injured from the impact.

The head assassin was distinctively different from his peers. Green lighting like thunder launched at the knights at the speed of light.

If the other assassins were average mages then he was a sorcerer.

"Come on" He taunted Sir Tate.

Sir Tate could feel that he was smiling at him mockingly behind the snake mask.

The duo charged at the other and started to fight.

The sky rumbled like a mad titan, thunder striking across the sky igniting it with bright light.

Meanwhile, inside the carriage. 

"Listen to me"

Angelica held Eve and Heather's hands. They were trembling all over, scared of the people outside.

Angelica tried to comfort them to her best. She could sense that there was a change in the atmosphere outside.

Whatever it was, it wasn't good.

"No matter what happens....." She tightened her grip on their hands and reassured them,

"None of this is your fault. Or the knights fighting outside"

'It's that b*stard Edward's fault' Angelica didn't complete her sentence.

No matter how much she wanted to curse Edward, doing that in front of the maids would blow her cover big time.

Angelica had a fiery expression on her face. She felt bad for not having punched Edward's perfect face at least once when she had the chance.

The maids calmed down a bit after listening to her. At the same time, they also sympathized with her.
