In fact, Edward had tried to use glue to cement ships to carry James IV, trying to sink him into the North Sea. It's just that James IV was reluctant to take a ship. After all, it's not as safe to take a boat as overland.

Moreover, England was already a country where piracy was rampant. If you go to the sea, if you are robbed and killed by pirates, there is no place to reason. So, James IV insisted on going overland. After all, with 50 knightly guards on Scottish mainland by land, it would be difficult to kill James IV unless a large army was dispatched. Edward, on the other hand, was generally unlikely to blatantly send troops to intercept him. Therefore, James IV was determined to go by land, not by sea. In this way, Edward let him ride in a glued ship, so that his plot to sink the ship in the North Sea naturally went bankrupt. As a last resort, Edward could only turn to Marin to dispatch a master to intercept and kill.

Marin was actually very depressed, feeling that he had gone from a grand duke to the boss of the killer organization. Lo and behold, the south side also received an order to assassinate Caesar. Borgia's mission hasn't been successful yet, so here's another order......

However, both of these businesses Marin had to do. Caesar. Needless to say, Borgia was killed at the request of the pope's father-in-law, so it's not good not to shoot. And James IV, killing is also good for Marin himself. He was going to annex England in the future, and if Edward had annexed Scotland earlier, he would have to worry about it later. So, to help Edward is to help yourself.

However, in terms of identity, James IV is comparable to Caesar. Borgia is much more noble. Caesar. Even if Borgia was calling for wind and rain at the beginning, he was an illegitimate child after all, even if it was the illegitimate son of the Pope. But James IV was recognized as a king by all of Europe, and his status was very noble and special.

Assassination of Caesar. Borgia, even if the matter is revealed, the European countries will at most be disgusted and disgusted, but they will not blame Marin too much. After all, Caesar. Borgia itself is notorious and full of enemies. Kill him, and there will be a lot of applause. Marin sent men to assassinate Caesar. Borgia, in fact, is not worried about himself being exposed, but only about the exposure of the pope's father-in-law. After all, his alliance with the Pope's father-in-law is known to all of Europe. Secrecy, that's for the sake of the papal fame.

But the assassination of James IV is different, he is one of the few legitimate kings in Europe. The assassination of James IV would be a challenge to the social order of Europe, which would arouse unanimous resentment and even hostility throughout Europe.

Therefore, Edward obviously caught James IV, but he couldn't do it. He now regrets why he didn't take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to kill James IV...... Now, James IV is in his hands, and he is a hot potato......

Moreover, Edward's men did not have any effective officers. After all, the most powerful generals in England at that time basically went to the more wise Henry VII, and then they were beheaded by Edward......

As a result, he could only rely on the strong Marin......

……

Marin took the assassination order, but he asked the envoy to send a message to Edward to delay the time, at least until March of next year. After all, it took him months to prepare. For example, choose a good route for assassination, and don't rush to attack.

In addition, Marin also gave Edward some small schemes. For example, the time to send James IV into Scotland was strictly controlled, and the opportunity to intercept James IV in the evening. In addition, the horses and weapons prepared for James IV and 50 knights were also to be used......

Marin estimated that it would be about 170 kilometres from Newcastle to Edinburgh. From the border to Edinburgh, it is only about 100 kilometers.

If Edward had prepared horses for them and sent them into Scotland in the morning, James IV would have returned to Edinburgh one day at all costs.

Therefore, Marin specially requested that the horses prepared for James IV and others should be horses with poor riding performance, so that James IV and his party could not hurry up and could not rush back to Edinburgh in one day.

In addition, in terms of weapons, it must be how bad it is. Preferably a weapon for them, the kind of inferior weapon that broke at the touch of Karn's mace. Generally speaking, swords made of low-quality pig iron have this characteristic. A few months was enough time for Edward to prepare such a weapon.

And the armor is the same, the best kind of poor quality and thin, and it will break when it is smashed......

In this way, Karn can lead the team to take out James IV and his party with ease......

……

As for the men and horses who shot, Marin had already thought about the Wolf Tooth Commando......

This team of centaurs is all composed of muscles, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Even against 50 Scottish knights, you can crush them. They all use maces, and are best at dealing with armoured enemies.

Even if the 50 Scottish knights are very good at martial arts, their armor is inferior, and their weapons will break when they touch it.

The only problem is that the Wolf Tooth Commandos are infantry and are not good at fighting on horseback. If the other party is sincere in wanting to run away......

……

"Then you'll have to use traps and tripwires...... "Marlin made up his mind.

There are traps and trips, and the other party does not want to rush over and flee back to Edinburgh. If the opposing cavalry is restrained, it can only be slaughtered by the Wolf Tooth Commando.

Moreover, Marin will send a long team of archers to help in the battle. Their task was not to shoot their targets, but to shoot the horses of James IV and his knights. Once the other party has no horse, in front of the wolf's tooth commando, there is no difference from a chick to be slaughtered.

It's just that this matter is too top secret to be leaked. Therefore, Marlin ordered Karn and Kohler to cooperate and select dozens of the most reliable fighters in the Wolf Tooth Commando to avoid future information leaks. Once the information is leaked, Marin will become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats. Therefore, it is very important to choose a job.

Moreover, Marin also plans that once the mission is over, the dozens of wolftooth commandos who participated in this interception and killing activity, all of them, will be sent to the Americas together with their families. In any case, the Americas also need to be protected by force, and these people happened to be the vanguard of the natives in the past. As long as they don't stay in Europe, the chances of intelligence leaking out are slim.

……

While selecting reliable wolf commandos, Marin also sent people to Newcastle early, ordering Robinson (Coster) and Hanks (Marich), the leaders of the Robin Hood thieves over there, to send scouts deep into the territory of Scotland, scouting every road, and choosing a place to start.

In the past, the thieves would never have dared to go deep into Scottish territory to reconnoitre. Because, the Scottish army is not a vegetarian. However, most of the Scottish army was now imprisoned by Edward, along with their king James IV.

So, now there is an empty army in Scotland. With the exception of a few important towns and passes, there were no troops stationed in the rest of the area. And the thieves are used to shuttling through the mountains and forests, as long as there is no large army to surround them, their movements are still very free.

In addition, Marin also asked the Robin Hood Thieves to send several groups of men to fight in Scotland, playing some new banners to confuse the public. When James IV was killed, the blame could be placed on the non-existent bands of thieves......
