Zasydle is a cautious person.
He was fully prepared for an enemy attack, but he did not expect the enemy to choose a time when everyone was most exhausted and about to hand over.
- The enemy invaded only after careful research and analysis, formulating a tactical plan.
Zasydle quickly realized this and called for reinforcements through the communicator.
However, most of the security personnel guarding the Yasaka Shrine are contract workers, people sent from labor services who were just trying to make a living, and they happened to be changing shifts, causing chaos.
Zasydle made an instant decision that he didn't have time to wait for this group of ragtag people to arrive, took up a short bow in advance, and guarded the exit where the enemy was about to burst out.
There were only two invading enemies, a woman and a child.
He was experienced, with sufficient manpower.
There shouldn't have been any threat.
But in the end, he, Zasydle, had to hide by the wall to avoid being hit by long-range support from the enemy.
He also vaguely saw the Atlas brown bear being knocked down.
This time, it seemed that the child would get away.
Although he had already switched the documents as arranged by Bai Yaxin early on, letting them escape like this would mean failing to complete another task assigned by Bai Yaxin, which was to deal with this woman and child.
However, the arrows that shot from outside the Yasaka Shrine, with no visible shooting source, gave Zasydle a headache.
He had clearly hidden in a place where he speculated the shots couldn't reach, but arrows still came his way, though with poor accuracy.
Could it be that the enemy archer was not alone?
Zasydle couldn't worry about it now.
The enemy archer had poor accuracy and there was a long interval between the arrows.
This indicated that the enemy might be quite a distance away from him, or had poor visibility, or simply lacked the skills.
It was worth taking a gamble.
Waiting for the next arrow from the enemy to land, Zasydle immediately rushed out from behind the cover wall.
He saw the boy carrying the woman on his back, sprinting, and they were less than twenty meters from the door.
The other security personnel who arrived late were still far away.
If the enemy had arranged vehicles outside the door for retreat, once they escaped, it would be difficult to catch up.
Although Zasydle had promised Bai Yaxin that he could take action against the woman and child.
But at this critical moment, after aiming, at the moment just before releasing the arrow, he hesitated for a moment... and then let the arrow fly.
Almost simultaneously, an arrow coming from his upper right pierced through his wrist, altering the trajectory of that arrow.
The arrow shook slightly as it left the string, deviating from Zasydle's original target - Chongzong's left foot, floating along the trajectory, tearing through the neck side of Van on Chongzong's back, piercing deeply into Chongzong's left shoulder.
Chongzong staggered after being shot in the foot, barely managing to stand still. After pausing for a few seconds, he forced himself to take a step, but this time he couldn't run anymore. Instead, he forcibly moved his steps and walked out of the gate.
- What an incredible willpower.
- This kid is truly remarkable.
Zasydle knew well the feeling of being hit by an arrow. At this moment, he could only stand barely, his short bow had fallen to the ground, his left wrist pierced by an arrow, seemingly hitting an artery, causing a lot of blood loss, making his head spin repeatedly.
He realized he was getting old, unable to hold on any longer.
Zasydle regretfully sat down in place, his body no longer able to support him standing.
