Chapter 443 Auction trap (20)
As soon as the driver gave this cry, there were daggers that suddenly flew through the air.
The attackers immediately moved away from the driver since the daggers were aimed at them.
They all went in different directions since the daggers came at them from different directions.
When they stopped, they found that they were all split up.
It was clear that the daggers hadn’t been thrown to hurt them, but rather to force them to move away from each other. It was all to split them up so that they could be taken down separately.
The attackers realized this too late as several cloaked figures suddenly jumped down from the rooftops and surrounded these attackers.
The driver just looked at the leader of the attackers and said, “Now, shall we?”
The leader of the attackers revealed an ugly look, showing that he clearly didn’t expect this. However, he didn’t panic since he was a well trained person.
These attackers were without a doubt trained people sent by someone and not just normal thieves. So they didn’t panic when they were surrounded by all of these cloaked figures.
Instead, they started coordinating with each other to push them back.
The cloaked figures found that the attackers worked quite well together.
These attackers used daggers as their main weapons, but it was used in a different manner.
Instead of stabbing and slashing with these daggers, they threw them. These daggers were thrown at the cloaked figures that had jumped down to surround them.
But the problem wasn’t that they were throwing these daggers.
If it was just daggers being thrown, then it would be easy for them to deal with. After all, it wasn’t that hard to dodge daggers that were thrown.
The problem was their coordination when throwing these daggers.
Every time that a dagger was thrown, there would be another attacker behind that would catch it and throw it back. This meant that there would always be a follow up attack that came from behind them.
This forced the cloaked figures to be on guard for attacks that came from in front of them and behind them.
It didn’t take long before the attackers were once again at an advantage.
The leader and the driver had been clashing with their daggers the whole time.
When the leader saw his men pushing the cloaked figures back, he looked at the driver with a smile and said, “It seems like your people aren’t doing that well. Do you want to go and help them?”
The driver pushed the leader back with a quick slash before stopping himself. He looked at the leader and said with a smile, “Do you really think that this is all that we have?”
The leader couldn’t help slightly knitting his brows when he heard this.
Then what followed was a cry of pain before a person fell to the ground.
As for which side this person belonged to, he was one of the attackers.
There was a dagger that was sticking out of his back when he fell, but the angle that the dagger inserted itself into his body was strange. The angle made it seem like the dagger had come from above.
The attackers immediately backed away when they saw that one of their own had been killed.
At the same time, they quickly looked in the direction that the dagger had come from.
When they looked up at the roof of one of the buildings around them, they found that there were more cloaked figures standing there. They had daggers in their hands that they were preparing to throw.
The leader also looked up and found that it wasn’t just this one building that had these cloaked figures on it. There were many cloaked figures on the roofs all around them with daggers in hand.
They were completely surrounded by enemies.
The leader couldn’t help revealing an ugly look that almost seemed to be saying, “How did we not notice this?”
But there wasn’t time for him to think about what to do as the driver was already charging at him again.
After the first attacker was stabbed in the back by the dagger that was thrown from the roof, they all started looking for ways to escape this place. They knew that they were surrounded and this was a situation that was very bad for them.
This was not a place that they could stay in for long if they wanted to keep their lives, so they were all looking for a place to escape to.
But how could the ones on the roof allow that to happen?
Let alone those that were down there with them.
The cloaked figures on the ground immediately went forward to chase after the attackers that had wanted to escape.
The attackers immediately threw out daggers to dissuade them from chasing, but the cloaked figures didn’t care at all as they faced these daggers head on. After all, throwing these daggers would divert their attention and stall them, so they wanted to see these attackers throw these daggers.
This would give openings for those on the roof to attack these attackers.
The tide of the fight had completely changed with these new cloaked figures that appeared.
Slowly but surely, the attackers were being cut down by these cloaked figures.
It was almost certain that they would all die at this rate.
However, the leader of these attackers didn’t seem to panic. Instead, he just focused on his fight with the driver.
Not for a single second did he seem like he was going to give the order to retreat.
It was almost as if they were going to fight to the very end…but that didn’t make sense.
The driver couldn’t help feeling that something was off.
It was almost as if these attackers were stalling for something…
What no one noticed was that under the carriage, there was another pair of eyes that had been watching the entire fight.
Now that this fight had reached its climax, it was this person’s time to shine.
