Chapter 189: The Killer Family
It is precisely because of Artoria's famous reputation in Eastern Europe that she is also a 60,000-strong army, and her advance speed is much faster than that of Randy, and now she has occupied the city of Warsaw, the rangers are running around, the central Polish region is disarmed and surrendered, and the bandits in the southern Poland region have fled in a hurry, returning to Krakow City to set up defenses, and they don't even have the courage to fight with it.
"What a crap!"
Randy scolded in a low voice, although it is a good thing that Artoria's side is advancing quickly, but if the speed of advancement is too fast, or even surpasses himself, he will become very faceless, so the decisive battle with the Lithuanian army should be well arranged.
After making up his mind, Randy sent an emissary to the Lithuanian camp to deliver a war letter, agreeing that the two sides would go to war on September 1 and fight to the death.
In fact, it can only be Lithuania to die!
But who knows the final outcome?
What Randy didn't expect was that Vytautas accepted the conditions without hesitation, and didn't even embarrass the messenger, so it can be regarded as the consensus of the Middle World that the two armies will not fight each other, but Randy thinks that the other party may use the dead as a punching bag and slowly torture to death in this hopeless situation, so the messenger sent by Randy this time is not a Norman, but a surrendered Lithuanian.
But the result surprised Randy very much, looking at the messenger who ran back safely without missing arms and legs, Randy very strangely circled around him twice, and the guy he saw was covered in hair.
"You go down first!" Randy waved his hand for the guy to step down.
"There's definitely a conspiracy, but what exactly?"
Returning to his chair and sitting, Randy thought, but couldn't think of it anyway.
However, just when Randy was distressed and didn't know what the other party was up to, Vytautas's cronies finally arrived at the place Vytautas had said after a long journey.
"Is there really any powerful person in this kind of rural place? It is not known where the king got this information, but it should be here according to what he said. Looking at a small wooden hut hidden in the valley, the cronie couldn't imagine that there was some hermit master hidden here.
But just as this cronie was complaining, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and when he looked down, he found an old lady with a face like orange peel, holding a dagger against his neck.
"When did she show up? Why ...... I" The messenger was a little stupid for a while, although he did rely on his ability to observe words and look at the horse, and climbed to his current position step by step, but this does not mean that he is a coward, on the contrary, the reason why Vytautas sent him to carry out this task is because this guy's combat effectiveness is good, and one person can fight several, so he will let him come.
But he could not have imagined that this young and strong warrior should let an old lady who looked like she was about to sink into the ground, and put a dagger against her neck.
"Be careful the next time you speak, young man."
However, the old lady didn't seem to embarrass him, she snorted twice, said a threatening word and shook her hand, and the dagger was not known where she received it, and then kicked him behind the messenger and staggered, and when the messenger turned her head to look, the old lady didn't know where she went.
"I really didn't expect that an old woman actually has a unique skill, it seems that it is indeed not easy here."
The messenger patted his beating heart, thinking in his heart, this guy carefully calmed down and looked around, and suddenly felt that the empty and quiet small mountain village actually had a hidden murderous intention, and the birdsong and ape cries contained full of malice, and it was very dangerous, this guy's spirit instantly tensed, and he moved forward cautiously, for fear of touching some kind of trap and making him die without a place to bury.
But what happened very smoothly went well, the messenger did not encounter any traps, nor did the curse of the tribal shaman, and the old lady of the assassin did not appear again, so he walked very smoothly into the village, and was hurried away by the old man who looked like a blind man, explained his intentions, and put down the cash and gold coins.
"Such a big person, I didn't expect to be so timid."
When the messenger was gone, the old man, who looked like a blind man, snorted softly and weighed the money bag in his hand.
"It's enough, it can't be a silver coin, right?"
The old man opened his money bag and took out a gold coin, touched it, weighed it, determined the mass and volume, and then bit it again.
"Gold coins indeed! It is also the latest Norman gold coin, which is worth more than ordinary gold coins, and it is really a big deal. The old blind man muttered to himself, and soon fell into silence, and after waiting for a while, he heard the wooden door creak open, and then smiled.
"Good apprentice, the sale is here!"
As the door was opened, a short skirt wearing animal skin shoulders, revealing white but tight and powerful limbs, long golden hair was tied into a refreshing single ponytail, blue eyes, delicate facial features, high nose bridge, looked very handsome, slender body, flexible waist, walking can not hear the sound at all, although the dress is no different from ordinary mountain people, but it belongs to the type that can be quickly picked out in the pile of people, very conspicuous, temperament is also quite good, it looks shrewd and capable, but it is a fly in the ointment, The chest is a little flatγNo! It should be said that it is completely flat, as flat as a bluestone slab used to pave the road!
After hearing the old man's excited voice, the man responded in a somewhat hoarse, neutral voice: "Really? Master! β
The voice was very calm, and it didn't feel like a big deal, and then put the firewood and firewood knife on his back on the ground, patted his dirty hands, strode over and sat cross-legged opposite the old man, holding the kettle on the table, and poured it directly without a cup.
"Just now, a Kaizi came, and a big deal was made, there are one hundred Norman gold coins for the deposit alone, and there are four hundred Norman gold coins after the task is completed, after getting this money, we can leave this ghost place." The old blind man laughed triumphantly......
After drinking all the pot of cold water, the young man groaned comfortably, and then said, "The difficulty should be very high, right?" After all, there are guys who are willing to give such a large amount. β
As she spoke, she picked up the letter and began to read it.
"So what? If the goal is not difficult, how can it appear that you are clever in your means? Don't worry, good boy, you are the top killer I trained single-handedly, you can't assassinate successful people in this world, you can count them on one hand. β
"Hmm!"
The young man agreed casually, and looked at the text, as if he were talking to himself, and as if he was talking to the old man.
"Target...... The Norman Emperor? β
At the end of the reading, the young man couldn't help but shout, looking very surprised.
"What? This time the client was the Norman Emperor...... Or ......"
"Nope! The Norman Emperor was the target, and the client was a Lithuanian, perhaps even the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas. The young man put down the letter in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Hey! It's really ......."
The old blind man suddenly fell into distress, frowned, opened his mouth, and closed it again, not knowing what to say.
"The Norman Emperor! Wasn't the Norman Emperor the one who was at war with the Lithuanians? No wonder they wanted to assassinate him, and without further ado, I left after lunch. β
After the young man finished speaking, he looked at the old man's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked:
"What's the matter? Master? β
"We can't afford this deal!"
"Why? Didn't you say that as long as we received this money, we would be able to get out of here? Or do you think I'm going to fail? β
"Of course, ordinary people can't be difficult for you, but I just said, there are still a few people in this world who can't be assassinated, and the Norman Emperor is one of them, this guy has a lot of ability, there are countless capable people around him, his minions are fierce and cunning, and he is not afraid of death.
"That's because you're old and sluggish, master." The young man snorted softly, looking a little disapproving.
"Why can't you kid understand good words? The Norman Emperor is not the only one under the Assassin leader Nemulis, whether it is a knight of the Guards on the surface or a battlefield killer in the secret, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although you are powerful, apprentice, but three or five is already the limit, what should you do if the other party rushes up? I'm still counting on you to retire! Don't let my white-haired people send black-haired people. β
"What a frustrating thing!"
At this time, such a shout came from the back room......
The old lady, who had been at the mouth of the valley at the beginning and had threatened the messenger with a dagger, came out with a wooden tray containing three bowls of cereal porridge, a few pieces of black bread, and some meat from some unknown animals.
"Don't be like him, granddaughter!"
The old lady put the basin on the table, sat down on the other side, put the slightly more cereal porridge beside the young man, and struck the old blind man's hand very hard, which was about to steal the bread, and snorted coldly at the old blind man:
"You still dare to mention this, I wanted you to surrender back then, and simply surrender to the Norman Empire, but your brand is still worth some money, and an old bone can still tell others that you pave the way, you can be good, you have to work against others, what is the result? It's not like you have come to this ravine and suffered with your children. β
"Hehehe......" The old blind man was embarrassed to death by what she said, and he smirked and stopped talking.
"Laugh! I make you laugh! Seeing the old blind man like this, the old lady became even more angry, took the wooden spoon used to serve the rice, and hit the old blind man with a head and face.
"Alright, Grandma." The young man immediately ran to stop her grandmother's atrocity.
"Don't be angry with the master, after all, our killer guild has been passed down for several generations, and those Normans will let us move places as soon as they come at this moment, who can stand it?"
The old lady sighed and held the young man's hand: "That's right, but granddaughter, we are not opponents at all, if you want me to say a killer or something, you should not do it, find a good man to marry after you go out of the mountain." β
"What should you do with the master when I'm gone?"
"We're all old, and we don't have many years to live."
"Grandma......" The young man was a little sad, holding her grandmother's hand, her eyes full of tears.
"Don't say it's useless, I don't want him to miss him, the old man put the money away and return it to them when they come to ask again."
"What...... Those Lithuanians are dead, and then the money will be ownerless, and you can spend it however you want. The old man complained loudly, and then his arm was hit twice, and the young man lowered his head, took the cereal and drank it, his eyes flashing, not knowing what he was thinking.
ββββββββββ
War is a continuation of politics......
I don't know who said this sentence, it seems to make sense at first glance, but when you think about it, it still makes sense, but this sentence is too absolute.
Although the vast majority of mentally sound rulers will start wars for various reliable reasons, there will be some exceptions, and even some reasons for the outbreak of wars are inexplicably jealous.
For example, an ear, a piece of cake, a mustache, and maybe even just a laugh can lead to a war.
For example, right now, Randy thinks that the people of a certain village look at him disrespectfully, so he wants to slaughter the village!
This is a reason, and it is also a war, and Randy also has the right to do this, but whether he can do it is another matter, and whether he will do it is another matter, although Randy is not a famous Mingjun, but he still won't do this kind of brainless thing.
He basically needs a reason for what he does, and he will weigh the pros and cons and do what he can.
So Randy has a very high chance of succeeding every time he does something, but there are very few things that fail, but there are not many self-aware people like Randy in this world, and the vast majority of people think ......
I do what I want.
They don't know what they can do, they don't know how to weigh the pros and cons, and they don't know how many bowls of rice they can eat.
Sonia is such a person, so her grandmother and her grandfather have made it clear that this kind of deal cannot be accepted, but Sonia is still determined to kill Randy and kill this Norman tyrant.
"This time I am not for money, but for the hatred of my father and mother, and for the peace of the world."
After thinking about it for a night, the eighteen-year-old rookie assassin finally made up his mind to go out of the mountain and assassinate Randy.
Although after Randy's death, at least half of Europe will be at war.
Even without Randy, the whole of Eastern Europe, and even all of Europe, would still be in shambles.
But who made the one who started the war now be Randy? Naturally, all sins will be counted on his head.
As for the other reason......
It's true that the revenge of killing his father and mother is not shared, but Randy has no idea what is going on.
It was indeed Randy's order to establish a spy network, but the actual executor was Nemulis, who personally killed Sonya's parents, the other two elite killers, battlefield assassins, but at that time these guys were masked, Sonia had no idea who these people were, just like the survivors of the village slaughtered by the Norman light cavalry now, they don't know who killed their parents, so this enemy can only be Randy.
Of course, Sonya, and the others would not admit such a thing, and they did not understand such complicated things as world peace, human desires, kings, and countries, and they simply thought that as long as the Norman Emperor was killed, the world would be peaceful.
