A killing ended in less than half an hour.

The mansion was littered with corpses, and seven Assasin killers with rags gagged and hemp rope tied up their hands and feet collapsed like dead pigs in the corridor on the first floor of the mansion's main mansion, including the two Assasin core members who had fallen to the ground after being shot with crossbows in the battle just now.

Candles replaced torches on the walls on either side of the hallway, and in the dim light of the fire, five or six men in black with crossbows and swords watched over the captives.

Angus, who was drenched and dripping with blood, accompanied Art in the mansion, he raised his sword and pointed at the corpses all over the ground and said: "My lord, it has been counted, and none of the targets have escaped, except for these seven people, the rest have all been killed." To be on the safe side, I had the soldiers wipe their necks and stab them in the heart of all the ordinary killers who had fainted from the arrows. We ourselves lost three killed and four seriously wounded, one of whom had his throat cut and was afraid that he would not survive until dawn. ”

Art turned to the corridor of the main house, took a small piece of faintly glowing candle from a man in black, and approached several key members of Assasin who had fainted from being poisoned by crossbow arrows, and turned over the ears of a person on the ground, and saw a pointed devil smiley face tattooed on the back of the ear, this pattern is Assasin's totem, and he can tattoo a totem on his body, indicating that he is already Assasin's backbone.

Art got up, returned the candle to the man in black, and said to Angus beside him: "Pass the order, let the guys look through it for me, and all the corpses with this pattern behind the ears will be cut off and taken away, and these heads are the evidence of the crime."

Angus turned around and ordered the black-clad soldiers who had cleaned up the battlefield and the wounded to decapitate all the corpses with patterns behind their ears and take them away......

The battle just now was actually not too fierce, the members of Assasin hiding in the mansion were just killers, they were good at using shady means to seek the lives of others in dark corners, but when they suddenly encountered more desperate brave characters in the front, the combat power of the two waves of people was immediately divided.

With the exception of a few core members of Assasin's core who killed and wounded the soldiers of the task force during the night attack, most of the rest of the Assasin members were killed as soon as they woke up from their sleep.

Art did not participate in tonight's battle in person, although Art was ready to go in and fight the killers in close combat, but Angus and Enro resolutely retorted, they really didn't dare to let Art take such a risk, and no one knew how strong the enemy in the mansion was.

After thinking about it, Art did not refuse the proposal of Angus, and when the raid team was fighting in the mansion, he was taking a few task force soldiers to guard the mansion wài wéi, and two people in the tavern next to the mansion who heard the unusual movement and were about to warn the defenders of the city wall were put down by Arte's people......

............

There was a rush of pace behind the stairs of the main house, and Ron walked from the underground chamber under the secret door behind the stairs with two black-clad soldiers carrying a heavy small box, and said excitedly, "What do you think this is, sir?" Ron said as he opened the small box, which was full of large and small silver coins and gold and silver items, luxury goods.

"This is all found by us smashing open the iron box in the underground secret room, it seems that the traitor did not lie to us, and the Dean family gave these guys a lot of money."

Art stepped forward and took out a brand-new silver coin from the wooden box, glanced at the faint light of the candles in the hallway, and smiled lightly, "Just right! The cost of our coming out this time is settled. The coin clanged and fell into the wooden box.

Ron handed the wooden box to his subordinates, pointed to the seven main members of Assasin who were limp on the ground, and said, "Master, are we all going to take these people out of the city?" I'm afraid it won't be so easy to evacuate with so many people? ”

Art didn't rush to answer Ron's question, but looked at Ron's arm stabbed by the scimitar of the Assasin leader who jumped off the windowsill and tried to escape, the blood soaked through the sleeve arm had begun to condense, "Why don't you bandage the wound?" ”

Ron glanced down at the small cut that had been torn open by the scimitar, gathered the rags on his arm, and replied nonchalantly, "Just scratch some skin, it's fine."

"The scimitar in the bastard's hand is so fast, but luckily he sprained his foot when he jumped off the ledge, otherwise my arm would have been gone."

Art patted Ron on the shoulder for encouragement, "What did you do with that guy's body?" ”

"Take down the evidence that can prove his identity as a pagan killer, along with his head, and pile them up at the door for the response team to take them away." Ron was as easy as he was talking about what he was doing with a chicken and duck that was about to be put in a saucepan.

Art nodded, "These guys can't all be taken out of the city, but I need to get their confessions before I kill them, and when I get back to the safe house, you will interrogate them yourself, and then we have time to get them to confess." ”

"Yes! Master. ”

............

"My lord, everything has been packed, the prisoners, heads, valuables, and our brothers who were killed and wounded in battle are all ready, are you retreating?" Angus wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead and said to Art.

"Can't delay, send a signal to the response team and ask them to bring the carriage over immediately."

Angus took the order, walked to the door of the mansion, opened the gate, lit a torch that had been prepared long ago with flint, and waved it a few times towards the dark East Street.

It was not long before two carriages, with their wheels wrapped in cotton cloth, their axles dripping with butter, and their horses covered with iron hooves, came out of the darkness and stopped at the door of the mansion.

Task Force Black-clad soldiers rushed out, placing their heads and faint and limp captives on one wagon, and then placing the dead and seriously wounded Task Force soldiers and the valuable goods they had looted into another wagon.

Art and Ron led eight elite black-clad soldiers in full armor to the safe house east of the city in the wagon carrying the captives and heads; The remaining task force soldiers and the wagon carrying the dead and wounded soldiers and valuable goods headed for the water gate southwest of the city.

The evacuation plan for the operation is about to be initiated.

The entire task force will be divided into three parts after completing the raid mission.

The first part is the dead and wounded soldiers and the weapons and armor of the action, these people and things cannot leave the city gate with a swagger, so near the southwest water gate, there are two soldiers of the strategy group and a wooden boat transporting fresh fish out of the city moored in a hidden uninhabited riverbank, the bottom of the wooden boat is used to hide the dead and wounded soldiers and weapons and armor, they will leave the city as soon as the southwest water gate is opened;

The second part is most of the task force soldiers led by Angus, who will soon be divided into five groups and change into ordinary clothes, and will be mixed in the group out of the city to evacuate Thorne when the morning bell strikes;

These two parts were the first to be evacuated out of the city. The first evacuees would eventually assemble in an abandoned monastery outside the city, and then stage a game of "cat and mouse" under Angus's leadership.

In the third part, Art and Ron take their best soldiers into a safe house with captured Assasin members and severed heads, and they will not manage to leave the city with their most important human and physical evidence until the turmoil has stopped.

............

At dawn of the morning, five or six wooden boats were moored under the water gate southwest of the city of Saône, which were usually used to carry large quantities of goods such as grain, fish and shrimp, and of course a small number of broken boats that carried dung out of the city, which were hired to clean the manure of the mansions of the most discerning nobles in the wealthy districts.

Among the five or six wooden boats was a small and inconspicuous boat, and the cabin was full of dead fish and shrimp, which were picked up by the city people and transported to the towns and villages on both sides of the river to be sold to the smoked fish workshops and poor farmers and untouchables.

On the deck of the small wooden boat stood two men who looked like small traders, and it was obvious that they were the owners of the dead fish and shrimp.

A younger man stared at the iron gate of the southwest water gate and whispered to another person beside him, "Chief Nikola, you said that we made such a big move in the north of the city, will the city gate be closed today?"

The slightly older man glared, "Shut your stinky mouth!" Then he closed his eyes and listened intently, waiting for the morning bell of the church in the city to ring.

While~

While~

While~~

The bells of several churches in the city rang one after another, and the faces of the two men on the boat were relieved, and they let out a long breath.

As the morning bell rang, the iron gate of the southwest water gate was slowly lowered by the hinges of the city, and several guards of the water gate lazily came to the dock with a narrow exit with short spears, waiting for the city ships to be checked.

The broken boat carrying dung out of the city was the first to swing its oars to the dock, and the guard glanced at the broken boat with disgust, and scolded the boatman at the stern: "You bastard, you carry dung out of the city every time I am on duty, do you want to disgust me?"

Without even looking at it, he urged the foul-smelling dung boat to leave quickly.

The boatman laughed and hurriedly shook the pulp out of the city.

"I knew that we would go out of the city in a dung boat, and the guards wouldn't even look at it, so it was safest." The young man on the wooden boat whispered two more words.

The older men also ignored it, trying to keep themselves calm.

The dung ship was released, followed by two more cargo ships carrying grain, and the guards only jumped on the cargo ship, took a symbolic glance and let it go.

When it was finally the turn of the small wooden boat carrying the dead fish and shrimp, the Watergate guard lifted his spear and jumped onto the wooden boat with a soldier, causing the wooden boat to shake and nearly knock the two men standing in the splint fish pile.

The boatman of the wooden boat hurriedly walked a few steps from the stern to the guard, and said in a low voice: "Master, you have worked hard, today I will help these two masters transport fish and shrimp out of the city."

The guard casually kicked the pile of fish and shrimp, looked at the boatman and asked, "Why are they all dead fish and rotten shrimp?" I haven't eaten fresh fish for a few days, sir, and I'm very greedy. ”

When the boatman heard this, he immediately said, "When I come back from delivery, I will definitely catch a few freshest river fish for the master, and I will ensure that you will eat happily." ”

The guard laughed lightly, glanced up at the two men on the splint who were smiling at him, and let them go when he saw that they were also dressed as usual.

The wooden boat passed through the iron locks, through the doorway, and sailed out of the city limits of the city of Thorne. ”

The older man picked up one of the oars on the side of the boat and rowed awkwardly......

The small wooden boat soon disappeared from view of the city of Saône......

It wasn't until the small wooden boat disappeared from view for a long time that the alarm bell sounded in the city of Thorne......
