Novel Full Chapter 226 Assassination!_2
It wasn’t until he sat down did Rocky look towards Aileen and Liliya, and of course, included Monte in his smile, “What is the matter with you? Are you still angry about what just happened?”
“It’s not anger, it’s concern for your safety.”
After giving Rocky a glance, Liliya spoke up. She didn’t have the same temper as Monte, but she was very worried about Rocky.
“My safety is the least of our worries right now.”
Yet, Rocky seemed completely unconcerned about her worries, “Just think about it, why would Karlo put on such a show to meet me today if he wasn’t out of options? Because he is out of options, that’s why he’s trying to scare us, right?”
“Besides, don’t forget this is the Star of the Sky, it’s the place in Eternal City specifically prepared for the City Lords. Even if Karlo was foolish, he definitely wouldn’t dare to lay a hand here, otherwise he would have done it during the day.”
“So, relax, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Waving his hand at everyone, Rocky spoke with a cheerful laugh, and what he said wasn’t just to comfort the others, but the truth.
After all, this was the Star of the Sky, one of the most noble places in Eternal City. Karlo might be stronger than Rocky outside, but here at the Star of the Sky, he was just one of the many City Lords. In fact, there were many more powerful figures here than Karlo—he definitely wouldn’t dare to make trouble here.
Indeed, Karlo’s behavior today seemed hostile, but he didn’t actually harm Rocky, because, like Rocky said, this place was the Star of the Sky, one of the most important locations in Eternal City. Even if Karlo really wanted to attack Rocky here, it wouldn’t be possible, he didn’t dare!
So after one night passed, Rocky and the others who resided within the Star of the Sky remained unharmed, with no issues arising.
The peaceful night reassured everyone, and upon reflection, it also seemed logical. This was Eternal City, and even if Karlo wanted to deal with Rocky, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to do it within the neutral God City, otherwise he’d definitely be the one to suffer in the end.
Under these circumstances, the following day everyone split into two groups as Rocky instructed: Aileen and Monte as one group, Rocky and Liliya as another. Both groups went to purchase items from the shopping list, striving to get everything as quickly as possible.
“Do you really plan to fight a battle with Wild Horse City?”
The carriage sped along the street, and Rocky chatted intermittently with Liliya who was sitting with him.
“It depends. If we can join the Sky Alliance, Karlo probably wouldn’t dare to touch us. But if we can’t join the Alliance, then a fight might be necessary; otherwise, Karlo won’t let it go.”
“Are you confident?”
As Rocky’s most important confidant, none other, Liliya shared his concern for Thunderhawk City, because the city’s future was already tied to Rocky. To care about Thunderhawk City was to care about Rocky.
“That depends on the research of the teachers…”
Looking at Liliya, Rocky shared his thoughts.
The two inside the carriage were chatting slowly, and at this moment, their carriage was gradually approaching a crossroad. However, at the same time, three other carriages from different directions were also heading towards the intersection, and these three carriages were moving at a very high speed. The coachmen, as if their lives didn’t matter, were frantically whipping their horses, which were running as if they were trying to take flight from the painful lashes!
In a moment, Rocky’s leisurely carriage reached the centre of the crossroad, and at the same time, the carriages rushing from the other three directions arrived as well!
At that moment, the coachmen of the three carriages leaped off their seats, and immediately, the three speeding carriages crashed into Rocky’s carriage from the front, left, and right directions!
Boom!!
A loud crash could be heard as the carriage charging head-on collided with Rocky’s, and the four large horses collided in their stride, instantly tumbling over each other, the connecting carriage overturning as a result.
At the same moment the carriage flipped, the carriages from both sides reached the spot!
With a loud clang, the two galloping horses from the left rammed their heads into the carriage, immediately bursting their brains and dying on impact, while the carriage they hit flew into the air and directly towards the rushing carriage from the right.
Faced with the oncoming carriage, the two galloping horses on the right let out a howl and lifted their front hooves, then they viciously stomped on the carriage! Explore more at empire
Crackling noises continued as the hooves fiercely stamped on the carriage but due to the carriage’s high rate of speed, it flipped the horses over, causing the two large and tall horses to crash down violently onto the carriage…
Such a severe carriage accident instantly caused chaos on the street, and not only that, since four carriages had collided together, not only the carriage that Rocky was in was flipped, but the others were as well. The four carriages were like four balls scattered across the spacious street, and not to mention the fate of those inside the carriages, the pedestrians on the street also suffered countless deaths and injuries!
To avoid accidental harm, the vast majority of pedestrians had taken refuge dozens of meters away, watching the accident unfold with faces full of panic.
It was only several minutes later that the aftermath of the accident finally settled, and it was not until then that the onlookers began to breathe a sigh of relief.
Even so, they dared not get too close to the carriage, because with the accident being so severe, the people inside the carriage were definitely dead, and nobody was interested in the gruesome sight of dead bodies. Therefore, even though everyone was curious, nervous, and even somewhat worried, they did not dare to approach.
However, not long after, there suddenly came some movement from the almost completely shattered carriage. Following that, the thoroughly battered carriage was kicked open from the inside, and a person staggered to their feet.
Rocky!
As he stood up from the carriage, his face already covered in blood, Rocky was completely dazed. He numbly looked around at the pointing and murmuring pedestrians, his mind a blank as if he had been stunned by the collision, completely clueless about what had happened.
It took more than ten seconds for his brain to gradually clear up, and the ringing in his ears also slowly faded away, and only then did he realize what had happened.
“Liliya!”
As soon as he regained consciousness, Rocky immediately kicked off the hanging wooden planks from the carriage, then helped Liliya to her feet, who was just as dazed and bloodied as he was.
Their luck had been incredibly good!
In such a terrible accident, where four carriages collided, and their carriage was thrown dozens of meters away, both of them hadn’t died!
Although they were both seriously injured, the two of them were indeed alive, which was nothing short of a miracle of life!
“You…you’re alright… alright…”
Liliya, supported by Rocky, also finally came to her senses.
At the same time, seeing that there were people still alive, four or five youths from the crowd hurriedly ran out.
“How is it! How is it!”
“Are you okay!”
“Can you still hold on?”
While shouting, four or five people ran to Rocky and Liliya’s side, quickly stepping forward to support the two, who were on the verge of collapsing.
But just at that moment, just when a few people were about to step forward to support Rocky, Liliya suddenly pushed Rocky away, then with a burst of effort, she narrowly dodged the dagger of one of the men!
These four or five youths were not there to save people but to murder!
Having been on the battlefield, having even killed demons, Liliya, despite her severe injuries, still managed to grab the wrist of the man with the dagger after dodging, and with a forceful twist, she redirected the sharp blade and plunged the dagger into the man’s chest with her own hands!
But as she killed an assassin in an instant, Rocky, who had been pushed away, had already collapsed!
There was no helping it; Rocky’s Warrior Level was not as high as Liliya’s. Plus, with such severe injuries, he completely fainted from the force of Liliya’s push. Although he had fainted, the remaining assassins took this opportunity to pounce on Rocky, who was down on the ground!
