When the "Night Shadow" of the assassination force arrived, the air temperature in the main hall of the Flame Wind Palace seemed to suddenly drop a little.

Looking at the white mist lingering in the main hall, Lin Chi casually teased: "Can you stop playing dry ice?" ”

"Your Lord, this is a must for the Assassins." Nightshadow laughed awkwardly, "I'm just used to it." ”

As last time, the Assassin was still dressed in black, with an equally black turban wrapped around his head and red fangs on his mask, as if he were sneering.

"Less...... My lord, what is the matter with you? Nightshade's eyes curled, and there was a treacherous hint in her voice.

Looking at the commander of the assassination force who was half-kneeling in the center of the main hall, Lin Chi asked, "What is hidden in that secret door behind the Assassin Temple?" The last time I sent someone, I haven't come back yet. ”

"Ah, you've found the door." Nightshade's pupils suddenly shifted to the right, as if he hesitated slightly: "Although I can't bear to say it, the spy you sent ...... It's likely that he won't be able to come back. ”

"I'm still very confident in her ability." Lin Chi didn't look worried at all, just continued to ask, "What's in there?" ”

"I haven't been in it either, but based on the information we've gotten, that door could lead to the afterlife." Nightshade whispered.

"So, you're planning to fool me into going to death in the middle of the night?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

Hearing this, Shen Wenchong immediately drew his sword, and several other guards present also quickly stepped forward, and the night shadow was still half-kneeling and did not move, but shook his head vigorously:

"I don't mean to let you enter that secret door, but to worship the statue of the Assassin God, you misunderstand......"

Seeing that this guy looked like "loyal and courageous", Lin Chi waved his hand and ordered the guards not to move, leaned against the throne with his chin in his right fist, and asked the main topic of the day:

"Okay, let's not talk about that. In fact, there is something more important about calling you here this time. ”

"Listen to your orders." Nightshade lowered her head.

"Since you're also an Assassin, I want to know, do you know anything about the so-called 'Brotherhood'?" Lin Chi asked.

Although he was not sure, he could still feel that the assassin who tried to assassinate him this time might be from the legendary "Brotherhood".

Unlike the "fraternity" he established in the agency city, this time it is likely that he is a real professional. Although he didn't know why they would send some laymen to take the initiative to send them to death, Lin Chi was sure that the matter would definitely not end so easily.

After Lin Chi asked, Night Shadow was silent for a few seconds, and slowly gave an answer:

"You mean the legendary Assassin Order? Of course I did, but only what I had heard. ”

"Has any of your Assassins ever joined the Brotherhood?" Lin Chi continued to ask.

"I know everyone in the assassination unit, and there are no members of the Brotherhood in my army."

Night Shadow once again gave a disappointing reply to Lin Chi, but his next sentence made Lin Chi and the guards present stunned:

"But as far as I know, Ren You of the Guard should be from the 'Brotherhood'."

As soon as these words came out, before Lin Chi could speak, a guard standing beside the night shadow had already made a confused voice:

"You say he's ...... A member of the Assassin Order? ”

- As members of the Guard, they are naturally familiar with their "boss", the man who usually looks a bit like a pseudo-lady and often jokes with them, has nothing to do with the assassins.

"It's nonsense, Ren You can't be a member of the Brotherhood." Shen Wenchong's face was gloomy: "I've never heard him say ......"

"Who would claim to be an assassin before?" Nightshade laughed mockingly, "The old lord also knew about this before, and there was a reason why he arranged that man to the guard. ”

"A skilled assassin knows how to protect a person." Lin Chi whispered.

"Yes, that's exactly what it is." Nightshade nodded immediately: "Professional assassins know very well where to ambush and what kind of assassination to guard against, and the old lord chose Ren You for this reason. ”

"Ren You was trained by General Qin." Shen Wenchong was still arguing, but the confidence in his voice was much weaker than just now.

"Let him come at once." Lin Chi decisively gave the order.

Even if you don't know if the information provided by Night Shadow is true, you still need to ask now, if Ren You was really a member of the Brotherhood, then the assassin this time may have been his "colleague".

"Yes."

As the herald was about to leave, there was a sudden commotion outside the palace, and a herald covered in blood rushed into the main hall, which, judging by the flexibility of his body, was not his own.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chi immediately asked.

"Report, there are monsters wreaking havoc in the city, and the guards can't stand it!" The herald gasped for air.

"What monster?" Lin Chi clenched his fists.

"Yes...... A scorpion! The herald panted and said, "General Qin has already led the army to the scene in person, but ordinary troops alone can't stop it!" ”

"Scorpions?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows.

"Lord, this should be a conspiracy in Desert City." This time, it was Nightshade who spoke: "As far as I know, the god that the assassins of Desert City worship is a giant scorpion in the desert, and they call it the 'King of the Desert'. ”

"You mean 'Sand King'?" Lin Chi suddenly reacted.

"Yes, this is the evil deity they worship, and it is said that this monster has many offspring, and they all lurk in the desert and emerge from the ground when summoned by the devout disciples."

"There's no desert here." Lin Chi said.

"Maybe it was summoned by some other means." Nightshade said and stood up, "Lord, please stay here and don't move, I will go out with the assassination team to find the assassin who summoned the 'Sand King'." ”

"Well, I'll leave it to you."

Before Lin Chi's words fell, white smoke rose again in the hall, and the night shadow quickly retreated, and his figure disappeared into the smoke.

"It's all said that don't play any more dry ice......"

Lin Chi complained, and then said to Shen Wenchong beside him: "Let's go, I plan to go to the scene to have a look." ”

Knowing that he couldn't convince the young master, Shen Wenchong could only nod and escort the young master out of the Flame Wind Palace together with several other members of the guards in the main hall.

- It is undoubtedly extremely dangerous to leave the heavily guarded palace now. Lin Chi himself is also very aware of this.

However, if they hid in the palace, the Assassins would only continue to cause trouble. In his opinion, the longer this kind of thing drags on, the more dangerous it becomes, and it is better to solve it as soon as possible.

As for the way to solve it as soon as possible, it is naturally the fastest way to lead the snake out of the hole in person.

At this time, Lin Chi had already changed into a set of dark brown robes, and the members of the guard had also changed into inconspicuous plain cloth clothes. In addition to Shen Wenchong's personal protection, several other members of the guard were scattered not far away.

"Young master, hold my hand tightly." Shen Wenchong whispered.

To unsuspecting passers-by, the two looked like fathers leading their children to wander the streets. If the Assassins had not received the information immediately, they would not have been able to identify their true identities.

As a result of the assassination, there were far fewer passers-by on the streets than before. Except for a few men who hurried towards the east side of Flamewind City, there was no one else in sight.

"Well, may I ask ......?"

Shen Wenchong stopped a middle-aged man who was running away, stared at the other party's shiny bald head, and asked, "Why are you running away?" ”

"Little brother, are you stupid?" The middle-aged man bypassed him and continued to run in the opposite direction: "There are monsters on the street over there, if you don't want to die, run quickly!" ”

Listening to the noisy sound in the distance, Lin Chi and the members of the guard quickly moved over, just in time to meet a few wounded members of the Flame Wind Army who were retreating.

Like the herald just now, these soldiers were also drenched in blood, and the soldier who walked in the front had a large hole directly cut out of his shoulder, and his right arm, which had lost control, was like a noodle, swaying with his body.

Seeing Lin Chi and the others, these wounded were still dutiful, reminding: "Don't move forward any further, we are fighting monsters!" ”

"I'd like to check it out." Lin Chi said seriously.

"Child, you are still young, you shouldn't look at these things......" The soldier with a wounded shoulder slowly walked to a house and sat down: "This father too, hurry up and leave...... Shen Wenchong? ”

"Ah Bin?" Shen Wenchong also recognized the man with a bloody face at this time: "Aren't you retired?" ”

"After I retired, I found out that I couldn't do anything but kill, so I returned to the Flame Wind Army." The man known as Ah Bin sighed and focused his gaze on Lin Chi's face:

"Since Shen Wenchong will be here, then is this the ......?"

"That's right, it's me." Lin Chi nodded.

"I don't know...... Why are you here, but please don't come closer, we are no match for that monster. ”

Ah Bin's voice became weaker and weaker: "We have done our best, but that monster is too powerful......"

"I know, you've worked so hard that you can rest."

Lin Chi said and turned on the lord mode, summoned a herald, and issued a new order:

"Notify all the soldiers in front of you and evacuate immediately."

Hearing this, the members of the guard and the wounded soldiers present fell silent again:

"Lord, what are you...... What do you mean? Ah Bin trembled and spoke: "If you don't stop that monster, it will destroy the entire city!" ”

"I have a subordinate who can destroy that monster, but he is 'special' in battle, he can't be approached by humans, and he has to be disinfected after the battle."

While speaking, Lin Chi had already contacted a certain lich who had run away before through his mind, and began to have a quick communication with the other party:

"Where are you?"

"Master, I'm out of town doing my ...... Study. ”

"Come to the city at once and deal with the monsters in the city."

"I thought you didn't like my plague." Kel'thugad immediately became interested: "The Scourge is ready, ready to serve you!" ”

"If you spread the plague in the city, I will throw your life guard into the dung pit." Lin Chi threatened: "You should have relatively 'clean' soldiers under your command, right?" Send out an army that won't spread the plague and destroy the monsters in the city! ”

"Well, there is." Kel'thugad's tone was obviously a little lost: "I have seen the situation in the city, and I will send them there immediately......"

……

"Hold the line, don't let that monster break through!"

On the street battlefield on the west side of the city, the "Flame Wind Slayer" Silver Frost roared hoarsely.

The strong men of the trap group raised their heavy shields at the front to block the spikes flying from the front. In front of them was a sandstorm that covered half a block.

In the dusty sky, the outline of the tail of the giant scorpion can be faintly seen, and its curved stinging needles can shoot spikes non-stop, and many soldiers in the formation group have been wounded under the overwhelming "rain of arrows" and completely lost their combat ability.

In addition to this, what is even more deadly is another "spike" released by the scorpion......

"It's coming!"

Noticing the scorpion's leaning movement, one of the soldiers roared, and the soldiers of the trap regiment with their shields raised immediately retreated. At this time, the shadow of the giant scorpion in the sandstorm suddenly disappeared.

The spikes that pierced through the ground were like sharp stakes, piercing the bodies of the three soldiers in an instant, lifting their convulsive bodies up!

Witnessing the brutal scene of his soldiers being impaled, Yinshuang's eyes began to become bloodshot, and his teeth were gritted to death.

If it weren't for the fact that her right leg had just been pierced, she would have been the first to rush forward. But now, the bravest generals in the trap regiment can only sit in the wooden wheelchair in the back, watching his subordinates die one after another.

"I'm going to ...... Kill you......"

Yinshuang clutched the armrest of the wooden chair tightly, and the whole person was about to explode. But the black-armored warrior standing beside him was still very calm:

"Abandon this area and move the battle line back." General Qin said coldly, "How long will it take for trebuchets and ballistas to arrive?" ”

"It's going to take a while, and we're preparing." A short man in wooden armor next to him hurriedly replied.

This person belongs to the siege weapons unit of the Flame Wind Army, and he can be regarded as the elite of the army. However, because they did not expect that one day they would use siege weapons against the city, all the trebuchets had already fixed their bases and aimed outside the city, and as for the heavy ballistae that were not usually used, they were also in full swing for maintenance.

"Tell them to hurry! We're running out of time. General Qin's voice was full of anger: "Bring up the heavy ballista, even if it is dragged, you have to drag it over for me, hurry up!" ”

"Yes, I'll go and urge." The short soldier said and turned and ran away.

"Useless waste...... General Qin scolded in a low voice.

Without the aid of siege weapons, infantry alone would not be able to stop this monster. But now, in order to protect the city, it can only be piled up with human lives.

Just when General Qin was worried, the Red Armor Herald finally arrived and announced a decision that shocked him:

"The lord has ordered this place to be evacuated immediately."
