Although some Assassins were injured in this attack, and even some were unfortunately shot, these Assassin Brotherhoods were able to withstand it.

But now, a grenade explodes under Thunderwood's coffin, which is undoubtedly a great insult to the Assassin Brotherhood.

Under everyone's gaze, the coffin was blown open in an instant.

Even Liang Ye was wide-eyed at this time.

If Thunderwood's body were blown up like this, the reputation of the Assassin Brotherhood would be completely damaged for a thousand years.

Imagine a tactical team attacking the Assassin Brotherhood, and the assassins being killed are humiliating enough; On top of that, the coffin was blown up by a grenade.

What kind of insult this is, Liang Ye can't imagine.

Under everyone's gaze, the coffin was blown up in an instant; The lid of the coffin was blown up, and the sawdust flew everywhere.

Liang Ye bowed slightly, dodging the impact of flying sawdust, then turned and stabbed an enemy to death with his Hidden Blade.

But then, everyone, including Liang Ye, was stunned.

Because they all noticed the coffin that had been blown away.

The reason why they were frozen in place was because there were no bodies flying out of the coffin that was blown up.

This also means that this coffin is empty, and Lei Mu's body is not in it at all.

After a brief moment of stunnedness, the crowd reacted and continued to attack the attackers.

Now is not the time to think about anything else, the battle continues; Being stunned on the battlefield is a very deadly thing, and the next second a merciless bullet is likely to pass through the head.

The members of the Assassin Brotherhood fought back with all their might, defeating the attacking foe one after another, and when the last enemy fell, the very sudden battle finally came to an end.

More than a dozen Assassins rushed outside the church to secure the attack from happening again.

In fact, at the time of the funeral, several Assassins were stationed on the perimeter. But now, the Assassin stationed there was a corpse.

Judging by the wounds on their bodies, it was the snipers.

This sudden battle cost the Assassin Brotherhood eight members; Four were guards on the outside, and four were killed by bullets in the battle.

The loss of eight Assassins does not seem to be a large number; But for the Assassin Brotherhood, it was a very big loss.

It takes as little as a year to train an Assassin, and very few people can pass it; The average is 10 to 1, and only one out of 10 people who receive training will pass all the training. Moreover, not everyone can participate in Assassin training, and they must be talented to be accepted.

After the battle, Liang Ye returned to the chandelier with a rope gun and took the frightened Claire down.

Claire's mother, Helen Ray, was safe and sound, and an elder kept her safe when the battle broke out.

Many of the Assassins were injured to varying degrees, but not to the point of being fatal.

Now, everyone's eyes were fixed on Nicholas, and except for the elders, the rest of the people's eyes were full of inquiry.

Why is this coffin empty?

The empty coffin means that everyone was holding a fake funeral just now.

Without the body, this funeral would be meaningless.

The most important thing is that Lei Mu has obviously been declared dead, but where is his body?

It's a question that everybody is trying to figure out, and of all those present; The only one who knows, it is estimated that the only one who is the Great Elder is Nicholas.

He was in charge of the funeral, and there was no reason why he didn't know. What is the reason for this, perhaps only Nicholas can answer.

"Search a two-kilometer radius, investigate the mastermind of the attack, clean up the church." Nicholas gave three orders in a row.

Assassins, like soldiers, would not hesitate to receive orders from above.

Therefore, as soon as Nicholas's fate was announced, there were assassins to carry it out. They didn't ask why the coffin was empty, they just knew what they were going to do now.

Liang Ye patted the dust off his body, and then walked in front of Nicholas.

In the battle just now, Liang Ye was not the one who contributed the most, because he was not the only assassin present.

Seeing Liang Ye coming over, Nicholas's old face did not show any emotion; He just glanced at Liang Ye faintly, and then continued to give orders to the assassin beside him.

Liang Ye glanced at the messy church hall, then looked at Nicholas and said, "Do you owe everyone an explanation?" ”

"Yes." Nicholas did not deny it, he said in a calm tone: "I will explain this matter, but you have no right to know. ”

Liang Ye had already guessed that Nicholas would say this, he just smiled faintly and said slowly: "I also suffered the same attack when I came, but I don't think this attack was aimed at me. ”

Nicholas looked at Liang Ye, but didn't say anything, but continued to wait for his next step.

"I do want to know how Remu died, but I want to know why his body is not here, does that mean Reimu is still alive?"

Then, Liang Ye paused and glanced at the elders next to him before continuing, "I know that I am not a member of the Brotherhood, and I don't have the authority to know. But if you let me know, maybe I can help you with something, Shenzhou's Strategic Security Bureau has powerful resources. ”

Liang Ye patiently persuaded that he must not use strong means against Nicholas.

This old man, who had lived happily for a century, had eaten more salt than Liang Ye had eaten; Playing scheming and strategy, he can't fight Nicholas at all.

But to Liang Ye's helplessness, Nicholas rejected his proposal very strongly.

"We don't need Shenzhou's assistance."

He finished speaking in an unhappy tone, and as for the reason, you can understand it if you think about it.

Shenzhou has always rejected the Assassins, and although the Assassin Brotherhood has never interfered with Shenzhou in more than a thousand years, it has never been recognized by Shenzhou.

Assassins had to be cautious when they wanted to enter Shenzhou, and if they were targeted by Shenzhou's security agencies, they should not even think of using their hands lightly.

Therefore, the Assassin Brotherhood has never had a good impression of Shenzhou. Now Liang Ye also proposed to let Shenzhou's security agencies intervene in this matter, which undoubtedly made Nicholas mad.

He values Liang Ye's strength very much, but that doesn't mean he won't be angry.

Liang Ye could only express helplessness about this, he pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

What Liang Ye wants to know most now is why Lei Mu's body is not in the coffin, is he not dead?

None of these Liang Ye knew anything, and Nicholas didn't reveal anything to him.

It is impossible to say that Liang Ye is not irritable, he came here under a false identity under the pressure of the Strategic Security Bureau and the military; Not only were they attacked twice, but the coffin was found empty.

If there is no explanation for what happened, Liang Ye will not give up easily.

Nicholas didn't say it, but that didn't mean that Liang Ye didn't have other channels to investigate.
