Chapter 78: Rosetta's Counterattack

  Sagittarius itself has its own name, he was called Lin Ying before becoming a subordinate of Luosiqi, and the person is like his name, with eyes as bright as an eagle's, especially sharp eyesight, and shooting arrows are extremely accurate, calling him a divine archer is not excessive at all.

  Someone like him should join the army and engage in military life, relying on his excellent archery skills to quickly gain promotion. If he mixes well and establishes a few achievements, he can become a lieutenant general or deputy general after a few years.

  But his unconstrained personality made him dislike the rigid life in the army, and for Lin Ying who was born to pursue a carefree life, such a life would be worse than death.

  He was originally from the state of Qi, and in his youth he liked to be a wandering knight who traveled all over the world, admiring the scenery, playing around, and getting to know the different beauties of each country, making him feel that life was full of flavor and carefree.

  Of course, his carefree life also required financial support. When he traveled to various countries, he had relied on his exceptional skills to take on jobs for others and earned a lot of money. However, his employers were all impressed by his abilities and wanted him to stay with them permanently. His temperament wouldn't allow that, though. After the last time he took on a job to kill someone, his employer paid him in advance but then turned against him when he refused to submit, even plotting to kill him.

  Although Lin Ying managed to escape with his good martial arts skills, he felt that he shouldn't continue like this after the incident. He thought it would be a waste of his martial arts skills to surrender to a small wealthy city lord, so when Luosi Qi was recruiting heroes in the capital of Chu State, he felt that the treatment offered by Luosi Qi, as the goddess of Chu State under the support of the King of Chu, was very tempting. On the other hand, he also had a strong curiosity about Luosi Qi, who was said to be out of this world in folk legends, so he went to apply without hesitation.

  Because the treatment was too generous, and it was also the goddess of Chu State who personally recruited, many people came to apply for the position. The more people there were, the fiercer the competition became. Facing so many applicants, Luosi Qi naturally couldn't examine each one personally. Thus, a preliminary trial was held.

  When Lin Ying went for the initial test, the examiner might have already accepted too many people and didn't put his heroic demeanor that he thought could intimidate everyone in his eyes. He even didn't stand up.

  He lazily raised his eyelids and asked him what his ultimate skill was.

  Lin Ying was very dissatisfied with the examiner's attitude and felt stifled, so he replied coldly that his archery skills were accurate.

  The examiner still didn't have much of a reaction, only picked up a bamboo scroll and glanced at it, hummed and said: "The goddess requires archery in the list, so hurry up and show me!"

  He finally looked at Lin Ying with a serious expression and asked him: "Do you want to shoot at fixed targets or moving targets?

  "Is it on foot or on horseback?"

  Rin Eagle, also known as the Shooter by Rosky, was sitting at the top of a large tree on the edge of Linhai, feeling extremely bored and unable to climb down or sleep. He gazed out at the lights of the Chu King's palace in the distance while recalling his experience participating in the recruitment of the Goddess' subordinates, which had been much more intense than he had expected before attending.

  When he was first tested, when the examiner asked him what he used to demonstrate his marksmanship, he responded very proudly, "I don't need a fixed target, nor do I need a moving target. I only need you to call five soldiers wearing general's hats to run back and forth in front of me ten zhang away within a distance of ten zhang wide. If I can shoot down the tassels on their hats, if I miss even one person's, I will turn around and leave without saying another word!" Such a feat should be considered an ultimate skill, but unexpectedly, the examiner only softly said "Oh!"

  With a single order, he instructed his men to prepare. Finally, he didn't forget to instruct Lin Ying: "You little devil, be careful when you shoot, if you accidentally kill someone, you'll have to pay with your life!"

  Lin Ying was once very skeptical that he could wait for the assassin mentioned by Luo Siqi just by waiting stupidly on a tree.

  Luoshi solemnly instructed him to wait here until nightfall, saying that Mo Ye, who might come out of the siege after assassinating King Chu, would likely come here, and he was the last barrier to stop him!

  For Lin Ying, being arranged by the goddess as the last barrier was still a very satisfying position for him. Of course, being the last barrier is an important and high position, but it's not difficult to appear that the previous barriers have already easily defeated Mo Ye and he can only stupidly ambush on the tree for a long time, only to be informed that the action has ended perfectly, and he should hurry down to do what he needs to do next.

  Being the last hero isn't that easy! Especially when he finally saw the palace in the distance from the tree, and suddenly the lights were in disarray, as if something major had happened.

  At that time, he would be very abnormal in praying to the heavens, begging them not to let Mo Ye be caught by the goddess in the city, or else all his patience and endurance would have been for nothing.

  If it weren't for the fact that this was his first mission under Luosi's command, he would have been emotional about staying here and waiting. The goddess told him that Mo Ye might assassinate King Chu tonight, and it was also possible that he would pass through this place after breaking out. However, years of experience had taught him that many possibilities added together often became impossibilities, and a small change in details could affect the final outcome of things.

  Before leaving, Luosiqi patted his shoulder solemnly and told him, don't be careless, be prepared for anything!

  This made Lin Ying feel even more that Mo Ye's chances of getting here were very low.

  So from the beginning, Lin Ying really was like an eagle, perched on a tree with half-closed eyes dozing off. Luosi Qi also feared that he would be tense for too long and by the time Mo Ye really arrived tonight, he would already be exhausted. He also instructed him not to stare so intently all the time. If Mo Ye really was going to assassinate Chu Wang tonight, there would definitely be a commotion in the palace. Normally, he only needed to look at the lights inside the palace and that would be enough. After all, from the palace to where he was, there was still some distance. As long as he discovered any abnormalities in the lights within the palace, he could prepare himself, and it would be more than enough time.

  He waited like this in the tree, until a commotion really appeared in the palace as Lusky had said. Lin Er's eyes suddenly widened like an eagle seeing its prey, and he secretly admired Lusky for being truly prescient. At the same time, his entire body entered a state of high alert.

  Before leaving, Luosi not only told him what she had previously instructed, but also secretly left a tied silk handkerchief for him to open after she left.

  When he opened the silk scroll after Luosi walked away with a belly full of doubts, what was written on it not only surprised him but completely shocked him, because there were only twelve words: "Mo Ye may be Moxi, be extremely careful!"

  He still remembered that after the final election, he watched with Luosiqi the night vision ability shown by Moque, and before seeing Moque, he was proud of his own eyes, which were half innate and half trained like an eagle's sharp eyes, and it was his irreplaceable pride in front of people.

  But when he saw Capricorn come out of the small black house, although it had not opened its eyes to protect them, but with a complacent face, he felt that there was indeed a heaven beyond the sky and people beyond men.

  He had always thought that Luosi chose him to stay here because Mo Jie was already in the palace protecting King Chu, so it was natural for Muye, who excelled at fighting in the dark of night, to be the one with sharp eyes.

  But he never expected that the Capricorn who was protecting the King of Chu's safety at night in the palace might actually be Mo Ye!

  At first he was still skeptical about it, but the fact that Mo Ye really assassinated King Chu tonight made him now very trusting of Luo Siqi's judgment.

  Of course, Mo Ye might not be Capricorn, and Luo Si was overthinking, but when he finally heard the sound of someone rushing from afar with his sharp ears that were no less than his eyes, he became hesitant and slowly took down the black lacquered bow with gold trim from behind him, solemnly drew an arrow from the quiver at his side and placed it on the bow, and lowered his body even further.

  Mo Ye never thought that he would face such a life-and-death arrow in this place, which he considered absolutely safe!

  Because he was running at an extremely fast speed towards the forest, this sudden arrow that shone with a silver light in the long night made him instinctively lean his body backwards, and his feet stiffly buffered away the danger brought by the sudden brake. He lay very awkwardly on the ground. The huge force didn't give him time to calculate the distance between his head and the ground, and his head was firmly planted on the ground.

  Mo Ye's head was hit hard by this one, but he didn't have time to savor the pain, because the next two arrows, three arrows that shot towards him were both fast and ruthless.

  He desperately rolled on the ground to avoid the arrow after arrow of pursuit, and finally rolled under a nearby tree. He hid behind the tree, which was now a blind spot that his attacker couldn't shoot at.

  Mo Ye leaned against the back of the tree, catching his breath slightly. The temporary escape from danger made him quickly filter through his mind those who might be lurking here to ambush him and had such high abilities.

  This thing is easy for him because this person is really too good at arranging, but why would he be here?

  Mo Ye laughed, his laughter mixed with helplessness and bitterness, but his laughter was not despairing. His current state was indeed no longer suitable for entangling with the archer again. He started to rush rapidly into the depths of the forest, accompanied by a severe pain in his forearm. With the cost of being shot by an arrow on his right arm, he gained distance from the archer hiding in the darkness.

  Although he was caught off guard by the sudden attack and was in a sorry state, when he shook off those few arrows that were shot at him, he had already made sure that all the arrow shafts that were shot at him came from high above!

  That is to say, the enemy, no matter how capable, is now on top of a certain tree not far from him. The good thing about being on top of the tree is that you can be in a commanding position, with a broad view and strong arrow wind.

  However, of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that once he opens up a distance with the enemy, the enemy can only come down from the tree to chase him, and then shorten the distance between them again.

  And Mo Ye's right arm was shot by an arrow in exchange for this moment.
