Chapter 30: Together
"The triplets selected by their empire have lived together, cultivated together, and performed tasks together since they were children, and in terms of cooperation, no one in the world can be stronger than them. Ralvin didn't look back at the three assassins, but simply introduced them, and it was clear that Ralvin didn't want Regner to know too much about the Inspectorate. The fat king waved his hand: "You three, come and see the military intelligence chief." β
The three of them walked up to Regner at exactly the same pace, and then knelt down on one knee from left to right.
"Subordinate to God. β
"The subordinates are punished. β
"Subordinate soul punishing. β
"I've seen Lord Regner. β
Regner looked at the three of them, and his surprise was even greater. The three of them walked in unison, and even when they introduced themselves just now, each of them spoke at almost the same time and in the same tone. I'm afraid Ralvin is right, these three people are one mind, and they don't even need eye contact to understand each other's thoughts, so they really work together.
What's more, except for the three assassins who showed their edge a little at the beginning, their current aura immediately completely converged into their bodies. If it weren't for Regner's own eyes, if he only relied on perception, he would probably not be able to detect the existence of these three people at all. At this point, Regner is sure of one thing, if it is a head-to-head confrontation, Regner is confident that he will kill all three of them with his attribute ability. But when it comes to sneak attacks and assassinations, these three people are one mind, and with perfect cooperation, the threat of sneak attacks may not be able to catch up with Regner's horse.
"Very well, the three of them will be the strongest hole cards in the assassination of Nidhogg. Regner nodded to Ralvin.
"It's just ......," Ralvin hesitated for a moment before he said, "Nidhogg is a genius of the ages, and if it were only the four of you, I am afraid that he might not be able to succeed." β
Mel, who had always been silent, spoke: "Your Majesty, please rest assured of this. Nidhogg is inextricably linked to the old man, and this time, the old man is naturally going to go. β
"In that case, there is Master Laumer. Ralvin bowed solemnly to Mel. Then, the Fat King turned to Regner and asked, "When are you going to leave?" β
"Within three days. β
"So fast?" even Ravin was taken aback this time.
"It has to be fast, in front of Nidhogg's powerful power, a few of us are afraid that it will not be enough to see, so we can only take it by surprise. And now we have no way of knowing for sure if Nidhogg is watching us as well, so we can only set off as soon as possible, and only by surprise can there be a glimmer of hope. If we let Nidhogg prepare for this, then it's all over. Regner said lightly.
"In that case, I see. Ralvin nodded, and he said to the three Inspector assassins, "You three, from now on, absolutely obey Regner's orders, even if they ask you to kill each other, you must do so without hesitation, do you hear me?"
"Understood. The three of them spoke in unison, and there was no one and no waves in their feelings.
"Little Ray. Ralvin walked up to Regner and said in his heart: "I know that the disaster of the continent is not a mortal threat to a strong man like you who has already stood at the top of the continent. Today you can step forward, and on behalf of the Empire, I thank you. β
"Your Majesty, don't bother the boy. Ragner quickly helped Ralvin, who was on his knees, to his feet. He looked carefully, and the fat king was no longer as red as he had been half a year ago. His oily skin had become dry and wrinkled at this time, and the heavy dark circles under his eyes also showed that he had worked hard day and night. It is conceivable that in order to cope with this disaster, Ralvin was already exhausted.
But even so, Ralvin didn't ask Ragner to assassinate Niederhogg a few months ago, because he knew that the assassination was highly unlikely. What's more, Regner's strength at this time was already enough to transcend most of the constraints of the empire. If Regner refused, then it would be useless for Ralvin to come and beg him. If he can't be beaten and he leaves, will the empire still have the strength to find a level 19 assassin who is hiding?
Thinking of this, Regner suddenly felt that Ralvin was really good to him. At first, when he first joined the MIA, in addition to the help of Alex and Anne Lot, Ralvin also helped him a lot, both openly and secretly. And after Ragner really gained a foothold in the upper echelons of the empire, Ralvin never deliberately suppressed the military intelligence service, even if he had a big conflict with Joffrey, Ralvin never deliberately favored his son.
For this, Regner has always been grateful and moved. Therefore, he also said to Ralvine sincerely: "Your Majesty also has the grace of knowing the boy, and now that the empire has suffered a disaster, the boy naturally cannot stay out of the matter, please rest assured, this assassination of the boy must do his best to get rid of this scourge!"
Ralvin nodded and said sincerely, "Please." β
......
For the next two days, Regner spent the next two days discussing the assassination plan with Mel and the three Assassin brothers. After much discussion, they still came to the same conclusion: if Nidhogg was ready for anything, then any elaborate kill would be a joke under his power. Therefore, they can only use the simplest and most direct way to carry out the assassination.
To put it simply, Mel, a high-level mage, will be the main force in the confrontation with Nidhogg, and next, Regnar will carry out a sneak attack as a pseudo-assassin. If the calculations were good, Regner's assassination would not have worked. After both of them were defeated by Nidhogg, the three Assassin brothers would suddenly strike at Nidhogg's vigilance when they were at their lowest, and the three of them would be the real protagonists of the assassination.
It took two days to finalize everything, and the next night, the unexpected and reasonable person came to the door - Anne Lot.
"No! you said you can't go this time!" Regner's attitude was very resolute, and he was also a little annoyed, he had been hiding from her for so long, where did this girl get the news in the end?
"My legs are on me, and you don't care where I want to go. Anne Lot's tone was rare to be playful, but equally resolute.
"You ......" Regner was so angry that he almost didn't jump.
"Let's go together!" another man walked in to Regner's surprise.
"Lisanna?" Regner was stunned for a moment when he saw Alexander's fiancΓ©e, then he pointed at Annelot, "You told her?"
"Yes. Lisana confessed: "I happened to pass by His Majesty's study at that time, and I heard something. β
"No, neither she nor you ......"
"Listen to Regner, it's not your business alone, and it's not something you can do alone. Lisana interrupted Regner, and she said nonchalantly, "Anne has already told me how terrible Niederhogg is, do you think there is a chance of victory with just a few of you?"
"Is it enough to add you?" asked Regner.
"At least the probability of success is higher. Lisanna said, "I understand how you want to protect Anne, just as Alexander sent me back to Melindel. But the reason why I agreed at the time was because I knew that Alexander would not be in any danger even if there was no me at the front, and it was enough for him to face it alone. But the situation is different now, and we all know very well that even with the addition of Master Mel, you don't have enough strength to face Nidhogg, and you need the strength of me and Anne. If you really want to protect Annie, then let's go with us, otherwise you're just sending you to death irresponsibly! You're dead and you're gone, but what about Annie? What about Erin? What about little Ini? I repeat, if you really want Anne and them to live, then let's go together. This is our only chance and we must seize it at all costs!"
"......" Regner was silent for a moment before he said, "Have you asked Master Mel?"
"I've just convinced the teacher. Annelot waved away the magic of teleportation, and then the girl said as if deliberately angry with Regner, "The leg is on myself, if I want to go, you can't stop me." β
"......" Regner looked at Anne Lot's somewhat angry appearance and showed a wry smile: "Okay......"
