Chapter 128: The Assassins' Introduction (1)
"Agk!"
The night streets of Zhengzhou instantly became a battlefield.
The powerless residents locked their doors and held their breath while those who could fight even the slightest bit prepared for a battle.
"They're using arrows!"
Thwip!
An arrow flew from the rooftops. In the darkness, the arrows were nearly invisible, making them almost impossible to block.
Moreover, because the alleys were narrow, the arrows' accuracy was deadly. Even blindly fired arrows almost always hit their target.
"Lift the Feather Shields and block them!"
The Feather Shield was a type of shield made of a light material like feathers and bamboo and was ideal for blocking arrows once or twice.[/ref]Traditionally, it's a very large feather. It has a double meaning. The quote goes, 'In the hands of a warrior, it is a shield; in the hands of a scholar, it is an aid for the dance.'[/ref]
