Chapter 33: Rebel Cadres
When he heard the words "skinner", Dean was amazed. This name is almost a household name in the entire Western Continent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can stop babies from crying.
Rumors of the Skinners originated from a tragic incident six years ago, when there was a remote village with more than 100 families. I don't know who I offended, and I was slaughtered overnight. The most astonishing thing is that the deaths of these people are extremely horrific. Everyone's skins had gone somewhere, except for an unrecognizable blur of flesh. The doctors of the Holy See observed that these people were not fatally injured at all, but that they had all been skinned alive and slowly died of blood loss. Most of the people did not die on the spot after being skinned, and there were still traces of violent struggle at the scene.
At first, no one believed that such a mass murder was committed by one person, but according to the clues left by the subsequent skinning incidents in various places, there was only one person who was ostensibly responsible. Although this big case was secretly sealed by the Holy See, it still spread to the people, so that now all the people in the Western Continent know the legend of the skinner.
At this moment, the smile on Wuxiang's white face suddenly made people shudder. The murderous madman who made the entire Western Continent tremble said lightly to Dean: "Originally, I was only ordered to invite Mr. Gangdi to the capital city of Marinope as a guest this time, but I didn't expect to receive the news that you and the Eastern Continent swordsman were making trouble in the mines halfway, so I planned to clean up the two of you little guys by the way." However, after I read the information book in detail, I realized that you are actually the person I have been looking for for a long time. So I wanted to quietly put a red thread on you, and then let you have a way out. Who knows, you're going to trample this road to death yourself. ”
Dean glanced at the red thread that had been trampled under his feet, and then asked Wuxiang: "When I was in the mine, I thought that a mere president of the Holy See would never dare to do such a thing without the guidance of the high-level. It seems that the notorious skinners have served the Holy See. Still, I'm wondering. How could an ordinary little person like me make the legendary skinner look for him for a long time?"
Wuxiang slowly touched his forehead with his slender and clean hands and said, "Many years ago, you lived with a guy who liked to wear a black hat. That elusive guy recently came to the Western Continent, and now it's giving us a lot of headaches. So I was going to sneak a little bit of my hand on you, maybe help us find that guy. But since that doesn't work now, I'll have to bring you back to the capital for a treat. ”
Hearing the words "black hat", Dean's heart sank. As a young boy, Dean spent years with a guy who often wore a black top hat. During that time, Dean studied martial arts with the unfathomable man for two years. Although years have passed since they were separated, Dean still has the most sincere gratitude for the man who claimed to be a nobody. But because the guy had told Dean that he was a wanted criminal by the Holy See, he should never tell anyone about this experience. So over the years, no one should know about this past except Dean himself and the black hat gentleman.
"What? Remembering that guy who gave me a headache? It's okay, when we get back to Marinope, we have time to talk. With that, Wuxiang began to slowly walk towards Dean.
Looking at the gradually approaching Wuxiang, Dean couldn't sense the other party's strength level at all, so he had to grit his teeth and prepare to fight hard.
When he approached the distance of five meters in front of Dean, Wuxiang suddenly made a move! At this moment, he was dressed in black and turned into a black shadow, and came to Dean's side in an instant. Dean didn't expect Wuxiang's speed to be so fast, and he was directly punched in the cheek by Wuxiang, followed by a violent knee in the abdomen. A mouthful of blood spat out of Dean's mouth, and Wuxiang grabbed Dean by the hair and slammed it into the wall next to him.
Boom!
A large crater had been smashed into the sturdy wall, and the fragments of the shattered wall were splattered everywhere. The speed of the phaseless attack was so fast, the series of attacks only happened in the blink of an eye, so that Dean didn't even have time to attach the dragon armor when he was hit by the knee. Leon behind him was even more dumbfounded, and he didn't have time to react at all.
When one person's attack speed exceeds the reaction speed of another person, then there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.
He casually threw Dean to the ground and made up for it. Dean felt as if his muscles and bones were falling apart, and the internal organs of his abdomen seemed to be stirred together.
Wuxiang, who won a big victory, slowly squatted down, smiled at Dean and said, "I have always been cautious in doing things, and there will be a fierce battle in a while. So you have to break your hands and feet to rest assured, you bear with it, don't scream. ”
Leon, who was behind Dean, hurriedly tried to stop him. But before he could take a step, he was pressed against the wall with one hand around his neck. Leon looked at the big butler in front of him with difficulty, who had crossed a distance of more than ten zhang and came in an instant, feeling that he couldn't breathe after being pinched, and tight sweat oozed from his forehead.
The big butler's hand was as firm as an iron tong, and he pressed Leon tightly, and said lightly: "The master said that you are of great use, so it is better to be honest." Otherwise, I'll have to break your hands and feet. ”
With that, the big butler casually threw Leon aside, and then turned his head to look at Wuxiang quietly.
Slowly, he lifted one of Dean's arms, ready to break.
Suddenly, a small fist slammed into Wuxiang's face without warning, so fast that everyone present had no time to react. The force of this punch was so great that it smashed Wuxiang's body directly into the wall. The entire room, which was made of hard stone, shook slightly.
After the shaking gradually stopped, the small fist slowly retracted, and its owner turned out to be Annie, who had been following Dean inexplicably!
Anne slowly pinned a strand of hair behind her ear, and then gently lifted Dean to the side, who was lying on the ground. Although Dean was uncomfortable at the moment, his eyes were still full of surprise when he looked at Anne's face.
After all this was done, Anne did not explain anything, and stood up and looked at the Wuxiang who had come out of the ruins not far away. At this moment, Wuxiang's nose has been slightly deformed by Annie's punch. But Wuxiang spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth without paying attention, twisted his nose again with his hand, and soon returned to its original state.
"You guys, it's really a surprise. Little sister, forgive me for being clumsy. Wuxiang stood in place, keeping a certain distance from Anne. Although Anne took the lead in the sneak attack with that blow just now, through the speed and strength of that punch, he could be completely sure that if he honestly competed with this little girl in melee combat, he would definitely suffer a big loss.
Anne seemed to be a different person at the moment, looking at Wuxiang with an indifferent expression, and she actually had a condescending master demeanor. said indifferently: "The lackey of the Holy See, you can't beat me. ”
Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said: "Three months ago, I got a spy report. It is said that a young female cadre with superior force has emerged from the rebels hidden in the Forgotten City, but so far the spies have not been able to find out more information, and even the name of the person is unknown. ”
Hearing this, Anne said lightly: "Because those spies who have seen me are dead." ”
At this moment, Wuxiang finally determined in his heart that this young girl was really the rookie cadre who was famous among the rebels. Since the royal power was destroyed by the Holy See, there are still many remnants of the royal family who are ready to move, and even after years of dormancy, they have faintly gained the strength to compete with the Holy See. And these rebels, who call themselves the Army of Glory, usually refer to those who work for the Holy See as "lackeys of the Holy See". The organization of the Glory Army is very strict, and the selection of its core personnel is also very strict. Among them, the role of cadres is definitely the best talent.
Wuxiang turned his head to look at the tall Emperor Gang who was far away at the other end of the room, and said with a smile: "Looking at the expressions of these two kids, I shouldn't know the identity of this female cadre." So, I would like to ask Mr. Gangdi, why is there a rebel cadre here at this moment? Could it be that you are already connected with these remnants of the royal family?"
As long as a member of the Honor Army is caught by the Holy See, then regardless of anything else, the first crime of apostasy in Article 1 is already a capital crime. Those who are slightly involved with the Glory Army will be affected. In the past, there was a young man who joined the Glory Army, but he was exposed by his fellow villagers, and all of a dozen members of his family were wiped out by the Holy See cavalry, and even the newborn baby was not spared. Wuxiang, this sentence undoubtedly put a big hat on Emperor Gang. If this crime is really confirmed, then even his elder brother General Yi Di will not be able to protect him.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Gang, who was sitting on a high seat in the distance, did not react after hearing Wuxiang's words, but asked in a slightly low voice, "So what?"
Wuxiang didn't expect Emperor Gangdi to directly admit this heinous apostasy, squinted slightly, and said with a chill in his voice: "It seems that Mr. Emperor Gangdi is ready to break the jar?"
Emperor Gang smiled slightly: "The Pope is not at ease that he has tied me up in this city, and now he wants to take me to the Marinope circle to die under his nose. This is no different from the capital offense of apostasy to me. ”
After listening to Emperor Gang's words, Wuxiang's eyes became more and more cold, and a strange smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Since Lord Emperor Gang is determined to fight for freedom, then I can only be rude." ”
