Chapter 1717 Force Majeure
"You ......," said Tudor's Margaret's eyes were filled with horror and despair. Then, she wanted to call for help.
But before she could cry out, Memphis suddenly flashed forward like a ghost, and slit Margaret's throat with a dagger.
Memphis is a person who has been taught by Marin himself, and Marin once emphasized one sentence - the villain dies from talking too much. So, Memphis does things very simply. The reason why I said that sentence before was actually just to confirm it. If it weren't for Margaret herself, she would probably subconsciously deny it. And if it is the main one, it will not subconsciously deny it, but will have other reactions.
Moreover, seeing that the other party seemed to want to shout, Memphis could only attack directly. Before he started, he was seventy percent sure that he would encounter Margaret herself.
After slitting Margaret's throat, Memphis tugged at Margaret's hair, and then the faint moonlight carefully identified her face......
He had already observed Margaret herself in the barracks through a telescope on a tall building, so he naturally knew what Margaret looked like. Seeing that the target was confirmed, he made another knife uneasily, completely cutting Margaret's neck.
Just as they were about to retreat, the screams of the little boy were heard from the villa inside. Apparently, the so-called "Prince Henry" was killed by the English assassins.
However, at this time, the group of English assassins panicked-
"Where's that woman?" The panicked voices of the English Assassins could be heard from the villa across the wall. Obviously, they didn't find Margaret.
Memphis hurriedly sent someone to climb up the wall from the ladder that Margaret had lowered, and said in a low voice inside:
"Margaret came out and was killed by us!"
When Xiao Er heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly said:
"Brother, please throw the ladder over, we're going to get out of here!"
The battle that took place in front of it has already alarmed the surrounding area. It is estimated that there will be city guards from other military camps on duty at night on the other side of the gate, and this place is far away from the gate of the military camp, so it is inconvenient to go out, and it is easy to be blocked by the French city guards who rushed to hear the sound. So, it was better for them to retreat from the backyard wall.
Memphis agreed, and the spy on the wall lifted the ladder and threw it in. And himself, jumping off the wall, prepared to retreat with Memphis.
After leaving one man for Shore to be their guide, Memphis himself led the retreat first. However, it is not in the direction of the sewer iron gate, but in the direction of the castle......
When the English Assassins had mostly climbed out of the wall, the man who had been left behind as a guide led the English Assassins to the sewer iron gate with a barking dog.
Then, after a few special cat and dog barks, 500 meters away, a man lit a cannonball in the shadows......
"Bang-" A loud bang rose into the sky, attracting the attention of a city guard who had just entered the barracks after hearing the shouts of killing.
However, the location of this artillery battle is in the opposite direction of the sewer iron gate. The captain of the city guard looked at the sky and divided a group of men and said:
"You guys, go and see in the direction of the explosion! I guess there's an enemy over there! ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, Cage and his 20 men, who were lurking near the French royal palace, received the signal and began to blow the fire rope tied to their arms, and ignited the black powder grenades and smoke grenades in their hands......
"Boom-boom-boom-boom-" A string of explosions came.
The whole city of Paris woke up, except for the hapless one in the poisoned barracks.
"Oh no, someone is attacking the palace! Someone, go to the palace to escort! ”
The headquarters of the city guard, Count Seysk anxiously ordered loudly. The explosion came from the direction of the palace, where the king and queen lived. In addition, there is Queen Anne, whom Sesk is loyal to. They are all incomparably precious masters, and they can't afford to be injured......
Just when the whole city guard of Paris was heading in the direction of the palace, Cage, who had dropped grenades and smoke bombs, and his 20 men, led by the spies of the North Sea Kingdom in Paris, quietly withdrew in several ways. They will be taken to several extremely hidden passages and chambers. It's hard to be found.
……
"What? Queen Margaret and Prince Henry were assassinated? The soldiers in the barracks who were responsible for protecting him were poisoned and more than half died? "At the headquarters of the City Guard, Count Sesk was shocked when he heard the report of the soldier sent by the City Guard who had rushed to the scene of the assassination.
This is a big deal, a military camp of thousands of people, most of them were poisoned, and the rest of the people are said to be half dead, which is definitely a big deal. Coupled with Marguerite of Tudor and her fake son, whom France valued, this matter is simply heaven-shattering! You know, this is Paris! The capital of France! It's inconceivable that something like this happened. Afterwards, he, the commander of the city guard, could not escape the blame......
But after thinking for a while, Count Sesk's face changed greatly:
"Oh no, we've fallen for the enemy's tricks!"
Europeans don't know the idiom "turn the tiger away from the mountain", but they understand the meaning.
"Hurry up, send someone to the Northwest City Guard Barracks to search for the assassins!" Only by catching the Assassin could he alleviate his guilt. Otherwise, the position of commander-in-chief of the Paris City Guard will not be kept.
When the city guard army surrounded the city guard barracks in the northwest city, the city guard soldiers quickly discovered the sewer iron gate damaged by a "mysterious force......
"It seems that the enemy has run away, and the order is to go down, and the scouts on horseback are sent out, and from this sewer exit, search around. Any suspicious person is detected and immediately arrested. Those who dare to resist will be killed! ”
At this point, Count Sesk also knew that he had been tricked, but he had no choice but to send light cavalry out of the city to pursue, hoping to catch a few enemies and make a mission to the palace......
……
At this time, after leaving the iron gate of the sewers, 99 English Assassins carried a wounded man (wounded by the soldiers of the city guard who had not yet been poisoned) to the Seine, boarded the speedboat prepared by the North Sea State Spy Gate, and quickly left the direction of the city of Paris, and drove quickly towards the lower Seine.
However, the ships were originally intended for Cage's 20 special forces. So, there's something wrong with the quantity. The previously prepared ship was not enough to carry 100 people. Then, the Beihai State Spy Gate hurriedly added a few ships. However, some are not fast speedboats......
After dawn, all the people on the speedboat evacuated to a safe place and landed ashore, and hid in the secret stronghold that the Beihai Kingdom had prepared for a long time.
However, two of the ships that were added later were overtaken by the French ships that followed them because they were too slow......
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the 20 English Assassins on board had no choice but to commit suicide.
"For the king!" The 20 Assassins committed suicide on the spot with different expressions. They were also helpless, because their son and the rest of the family were under the control of King Edward. If sacrificed, their sons will also be knighted. But if captured or even betrayed...... The family will not survive......
Anyway, the assassination has been successful, and even if they die, their sons will be knighted. Therefore, they all committed suicide resolutely......
……
And Count Sesk, on his side, was also relieved when he saw 20 corpses. He was afraid that he wouldn't catch anyone, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to deal with it. And these 20 corpses, although they are not worth much, can be regarded as a difference. Moreover, their cries before committing suicide were clearly in English. You don't have to ask to know that it was sent by Edward. Now, as long as the blame is put on the British, he will not have to bear the main responsibility. After all, there was nothing wrong with his setup. However, who would have thought that a city guard soldier in a military camp could be poisoned? If he had understood the vocabulary of later generations, he would have told the French government and opposition that this was force majeure......
