No one noticed the guard's unusual behavior, and they were still swimming towards the shore with full concentration.

At this time, some soldiers had already taken off their armor in time and floated up from the water, but the knights wearing cumbersome armor could not do this.

After all, their armor was so cumbersome that they needed help to put it on.

The edge of the dagger was hidden beneath the icy waters, and he was now less than a meter away from King Herchard.

At that moment, the guard sprang up and stabbed his short sword into the back of King Hechard, who was swimming.

The sudden pain in his back made King Hunthard cry out in pain, but before he could call out, the cold water poured into his mouth, choked into his lungs, and made him begin to cough violently, but he had to inhale at the same time, and the act of inhaling again caused a large amount of water to pour in.

The guard drew his dagger and stabbed King Hunthard in the chest, then writhed it again.

At this time, Count Muyurn noticed the abnormality of King Hechat, and he turned his head to see the scene of the assassination of King Hechat by the guards.

Blood oozed from the wound and stained the surrounding lake red, and Count Mouyurn shouted: "Stop! ”

As he spoke, he desperately wanted to get close to King Huntard, and the assassin dressed as a guard also glanced back at Count Muyorne.

He watched as Count Muyurn drew his short sword from his waist, and without making any other moves, he stabbed King Hunthard in the body again.

Then, after groping around his waist for a while, he took out a miniature hand crossbow that was only half an arm's length, and he took out a short crossbow bolt from his waist and put it on the crossbow arm that had been wound.

Although the crossbow string has softened a little under the immersion of water, the kinetic energy has not weakened too much, and it is still possible to launch the crossbow arrow.

In this way, the crossbow arrow with a few splashes was shot out under the launch of the crossbow, and at a distance of a few meters, there was no situation where it would miss or not.

The crossbow bolt instantly shot into Count Muyon's chest, and Count Muyon was stunned for a moment, and the sharp pain in his chest let him know that he was injured.

And the bolt pierced his chest and plunged into his lungs, making him feel a sharp pain even when he breathed.

King Hechard had gradually ceased struggling, and he slowly sank, leaving only the blood that had slowly faded as it spread.

Count Muyon also gradually lost his strength, and he did not dare to breathe at all in the water, and not breathing meant that the oxygen intake was insufficient, and his limbs began to weaken.

Gradually, his consciousness became a little blurred, and his last consciousness before he died tended to shout, "Who the hell sent you!" ”

His heart-rending scream went unanswered, but in the last seconds of his life, he saw the triangular mark on the guard's neck.

"Brother...... Yes?? ”

In this way, with endless incomprehension and unwillingness, he fell into the darkness and sank into the icy waters.

Maybe many years later, he will become an ancient corpse that has been salvaged, but it is more likely that he will be broken down into pieces and return to heaven and earth.

No one knew that here, a small icy lake, had buried a king and his close ministers, and no one dared to believe that His Majesty the King would die here quietly.

Mission...... Finish! ”

The Brotherhood member licked his lips and said, but he quickly set his sights on another accompanying guard.

The guard was so stunned by what he saw that he didn't react until the fraternity member had said that he had targeted him.

"Nope! Please don't kill me! Please, I can act as if I didn't see anything! ”

The guard was so frightened by the Brotherhood that he begged for mercy, choking on several mouthfuls of water in the process.

But his pleas for mercy were doomed to mean nothing in front of the Brotherhood, who swam to his side, ignoring the guard's struggles, and plunged his dagger into the other's throat.

"For ...... Why ......"

While the blood was protruding from his mouth differently, he was still unwilling to ask this.

The fraternity member raised an eyebrow and said, "Only the words of the dead are the most credible!" ”

After saying that, the fraternity member swam towards other places, and this time, there was no longer the blood red just now, and the rich blood would eventually be diluted by the lake.

The Brotherhood member was not a casual killer, but was tasked by the Brotherhood to infiltrate King Huntard's side and assassinate him.

As for the reasons for his assassination, of course there were.

Since William came to participate in the Holy War, the relationship with King Hechard has taken a sharp turn for the worse, if as a courtier, it is undoubtedly very difficult to do it if he has a bad relationship with the feudal monarch, and even if William is strong, King Hechart can't do anything with him, but after all, he is still William's nominal feudal lord, and it is not easy to make some small moves, and the disgusting also disgusts William to death.

It was not uncommon for a vassal to resist and kill a vassal king, but if he did, the reputation and prestige he had accumulated over the years would be ruined.

William would be called a traitor, and his family would have a bad reputation.

A family with a bad reputation will not be trusted by other nobles, and even a marriage will not be willing to marry you, let alone other interactions, and others will be wary of nobles with a bad reputation.

Moreover, William's ambitions are endless, but King Hechard, the feudal king, has always pressed on William's head, which will oppress his ambitions.

Therefore, letting King Herchart die on the battlefield of jihad was the best choice for him.

Even if the lake hadn't shattered, the Brotherhood would have assassinated King Herchard, creating the illusion of a Norwidian attack.

After all, if you return to the Kingdom of Tskema, King Herchard will immediately have countless guards around him, and the assassination will become extremely difficult.

In order for the Brotherhood to help him assassinate, he paid a bounty of 50,000 silver coins to get the Brotherhood to agree to the attack, which was an extremely rare big business for the Brotherhood, and this was the price Altaïr had given William a discount.

William was very skeptical of the price, believing that Altaïr might have lied to him, saying that he was giving him a discount, but in fact he was secretly killing himself.

But there was no way, he had to choose to compromise, after all, he was out of the house, and the intelligence organization and the assassination force were all in the territory, and he was not around at all.

What's more, let the Brotherhood do a good job, they will clean up, even if it is an assassination, it will not let others suspect William.

After all, King Hechard's framing of William has basically been known to the Jihadist soldiers on the Eastern Road, and if there is no particularly good opportunity at this time, it is very dangerous to assassinate King Hechard.
