That night, when Aisha's family, Xiao Tang Yuan and others were enjoying a rather sumptuous dinner, there was a sudden roar outside the restaurant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stop! Who are you? ”

This was followed by a storm of fierce gunfire, and the occasional explosion and artillery fire.

Apparently, Kraft, who was in charge of the garrison, had already engaged the invaders. And judging by the constant gunfire, Kraft didn't seem to have the upper hand.

This made Dio, who was standing behind Aisha, raise his eyebrows: even if it was because in his own manor, Kraft was not able to fire with all his strength, but the enemy who could remain undefeated under his fierce attack must at least be a strong man with ninth-order strength.

So, after winking at Teresa, Dio left the restaurant without a word.

And shortly after Dio left, the gunfire soon stopped. However, James and Anne, who had been disturbed by the gunshot, had lost their appetite.

Just as James and Anne put down their knives and forks one after another, Dio and Kraft came to the dining room one after the other. Between the two of them was a female assassin with a very serious expression.

Melia from the Assassins' Guild!

"I'm sorry, Mr. James, for bothering you."

Without waiting for the grim-faced Dio to speak, Melia preemptively said, "However, I have something very important to tell you, so I have to take the liberty of visiting!" ”

With the intelligence ability of the Assassins' Guild, of course, he had already noticed James, who had activated the intelligence network of the Testrosa family again, and then he noticed Lady Anne even more easily.

Although she was quite interested in how James and Anne, who had been dead for many years, came back to life, Melia did not reveal this at the moment.

Because of her now, there are more important things to do!

After hearing Melia's words, James did not answer, but looked at Dio with a frown: "What's the matter?" ”

"Let Melia explain."

Dio sighed helplessly.

When James turned his head to look at Melia, Melia said softly, "Not long ago, the Grand Duke of Flame was assassinated. ”

"What did you say?"

Aisha, who was still enjoying the food unhurriedly, was suddenly stunned: "Sister Kalian's father...... He's dead? ”

After hearing the news, the maids around them were shocked, and the faces of James and Anne also changed slightly.

Not to mention the friendship between the Stanfield family and the Testrosa family, the death of the Flame Grand Duke, one of the four Grand Dukes, was enough to cause a wave of turmoil in the United Kingdom of Marte!

However, Teresa, who was floating behind Aisha, and Xiao Tang Yuan, Jun Jun, and Kirika, who were still eating a lot, didn't care about the news at all as if they hadn't heard the news.

"Yes."

Melia nodded: "And the killer who shot is the group that assassinated Young Master Karen some time ago!" ”

In other words, the people of the Assassin Guild have already determined that it was Bloodblade and the others who assassinated the Grand Duke of Flame!

James and Anne looked at each other for a moment, then looked at Melia with a serious face and said, "Can you elaborate on it?" ”

"Of course."

Under the gaze of James and the others, Melia nodded calmly, and then slowly narrated.

Just as dusk, after the peace talks had been successfully concluded and an armistice had been signed, the Flame Lord was about to return to a hotel where he had temporarily stayed during this time when he was suddenly attacked.

It was all the members of the First Einsatzgruppen of the Mantes Empire who struck.

Of course, with the strength of the 1st Special Operations Team, it was not enough to defeat the personal guards around the Grand Duke of Flame. But just when everyone, including the Grand Duke of Flame, was busy fighting, one of the guards who had been closely following the Grand Duke of Flame suddenly attacked the Grand Duke of Flame from behind.

“…… When we investigated afterwards, we found out that the guard had actually been killed in battle the previous night. The one who has been following the Flame Grand Duke today is nothing more than an impostor. ”

Melia said very seriously: "That imposter is not very strong, but he injured the sword of the Flame Grand Duke, and the blade was coated with a rather strange poison. ”

"After this, the other four killers also appeared one by one, and after a rather fierce confrontation, those killers successfully assassinated the Flame Grand Duke, who was getting poisoned."

"After succeeding, those killers quickly evacuated the scene with the help of the First Einsatzgruppen Team of the Mantes Empire."

"Enraged by the death of the Grand Duke of Flame, the Flame Legion immediately intends to go to war with the Mantes Empire again. However, the generals of the Mantes Empire, who learned of this, declared......"

"The killers who assassinated the Grand Duke of Flame have nothing to do with the Mantes Empire!"

James suddenly spoke: "And after that, the Mantes Empire has publicly declared that they intend to issue a wanted warrant for 'killers who are trying to sabotage this peace talk'...... Right? ”

Glancing at James in some surprise, Melia nodded, "Yes, that's it." In addition, the Killer Guild has publicly announced that it will be responsible for this assassination. ”

"It's shameless."

James pressed his forehead with a bit of a headache: "In this way, the Flame Legion will not be able to attack the Mantes Empire." ”

Although everyone knows that this is a lie, on the surface, neither the members of the First Einsatzgruppen nor the killers such as Bloodblade have anything directly related to the Mantes Empire.

The members of Einsatzgruppen I are all "genuine" citizens of the United Kingdom of Malte. And Bloodblade and the others, except for Bloodblade, who is a powerful killer in the territory of the Malte United Kingdom, the other four people are all from the Eastern Continent!

Therefore, after the Mantes Empire publicly declared that this matter had nothing to do with them, the Flame Legion had no reason to go to war again. And if the Flame Legion still intends to force the war, the people of the Mantes Empire can even accuse them of disrespecting the will of the dead Flame Grand Duke.

After all, the Grand Duke of Flame has indeed agreed with the results of this peace negotiation, and has already signed an armistice!

Therefore, the Flame Legion, loyal to the Grand Duke of Flame, will not be able to do so until they find another excuse.

"In other words, the most important thing now is to find those killers and the special operations team."

Frowning, Dio turned to look at Melia: "So, did your Assassin Guild bite the tail of those killers and that Einsatzgruppen?" ”

"That's what I'm here for."

Melia sighed heavily, "After noticing that someone was following them, the Einsatzgruppen scattered and fled. Some of the people we caught up with committed suicide directly, and the rest of them have disappeared. ”

"The whereabouts of those five killers have always been in the hands of our Assassin Guild. However, they are quite vigilant, constantly shifting positions, and constantly killing our trackers. By the time I leave the Branch, our Assassin Guild has lost seven of our best trackers! ”

When she said this, Melia took a deep breath, and then bent down towards Dio: "So, please leave as soon as possible!" ”

According to the bounty task issued by Dio, this task can only be considered truly completed after he catches up with Bloodblade and the others. Only in this way was the Assassin Guild, which had already lost seven of its best hands, to be able to obtain that rather powerful spear.

Therefore, Melia will represent the Assassin Guild, and I hope that Dio will be able to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, as the losses mounted, the Assassin Guild would have to abandon the task that would outweigh the losses for them.

Of course, if that were to happen, the Assassins' Guild would really lose money.

"Okay, we'll ...... right away"

"Wait!"

Just when Dio nodded, the army, who had been eating and drinking, suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said loudly: "Please let me go with you!" ”

"Honey!"

"Uncle Lu?"

Qilika and Xiao Tang Yuan, who had been pretending to be indifferent, were both surprised, but before they could open their mouths to ask, the army said categorically: "Don't ask, I've made up my mind!" ”

The army looked at Kirika with a straight face and said, "This matter is related to the killers who attacked the eldest lady before!" We're definitely going to have to check it out! However, the eldest lady still needs your protection, so I'll just go with you alone. ”

Qilika opened her mouth, but finally said helplessly: "Then you have to be careful!" I'll be here and waiting for you to come back......"

After nodding at Qi Lika, the army turned his head to look at Xiao Tang Yuan: "I will go and track down the details of those killers, and by the way, check if there are any other killers besides them who want to assassinate you!" In the meantime, you're just going to stay here! ”

Xiao Tang puffed out his cheeks angrily, then snorted dissatisfiedly, and then turned his head and continued to eat.

However, even eating her favorite small cake, Xiao Tang Yuan's face still had a little worry on her face. saw how miserable the army that was rescued by Dio was Xiao Tang Yuan, but he knew very well how dangerous the army's operation was.

After convincing Xiao Tang Yuan and Qi Lika, the army turned his head to look at Dio, and said very seriously: "After all, there are five people on the other side, and there is also a legendary killer among them!" So, you're definitely going to need a helper! Even if it's me! ”

Looking at the resolute army, Dio thought for a moment and nodded lightly.

Although Dio has the confidence that he can fight five against one, the strength of the other party is not weak, so there is nothing wrong with being safe.

Melia, who was standing on the side, hesitated for a moment, but still said to Dio with a serious face: "Add me too!" I'm not going to get you paid! ”

"Huh?"

Dio looked at Melia with some confusion.

"The blood of an assassin cannot be shed in vain!"

Melia gritted her teeth and said, "The hands of those killers are already stained with the blood of my companions!" ”

After looking at Melia, whose strength had been raised to the ninth order, for a while, Dio nodded lightly.

Anyway, the army has already been added, and if there is another free thug, don't do it in vain.

After deciding on the two candidates, Dio turned his head to look at the maids standing aside, and said slowly: "The rest of the candidates are Bart and ......."

"Let me do meow!"

Katie jumped out and waved her hands constantly, "You don't have a better candidate than Meow, do you?" ”

Raising his eyebrows, Dio said helplessly: "...... Let's play with Eve and Katie as a supernumerary member. ”

After hearing Dio's words, Katie jumped up and ran over, while Eve and Bart saluted Aisha and James before slowly walking behind Dio.

In fact, Dio originally wanted to bring Shiva, and Eve used it as a hole card hidden in the shadows. However, after Katie jumped out, considering that Katie was better at going head-to-head than Shiva's Dio, he changed the candidate.

"Kraft! The entire manor will be guarded by you and Khiva! ”

After deciding on the person to pursue, Dio turned to Kraft and said, "If necessary, I will allow you to use the Mechanical Legion!" ”

Kraft nodded, not saying anything more. He and Khiva, who has the ability to resist concealment, are the most suitable candidates for the garrison task.

"It's unlikely, but if anyone does break through Kraft and Shiva's defenses, the safety of Aisha and James depends on you."

Dio looked at Teresa and Jessica very solemnly: "Remember, your mission is not to kill the incoming enemy, but to protect your respective targets, understand?" ”

Teresa, who was standing behind Aisha, and Jessica, who was standing behind the James, both nodded solemnly.

Of course, Teresa was well aware that Jessica's strength was not enough to protect the James couple in the hands of an enemy who could break through the defenses of Kraft and Shiva. So when that happens, she has to protect Aisha and support Jessica at the same time.

Such a task, of course, is heavy. However, if the time really comes, Dio can also rely on the power of the contract to return to Aisha's side at any time, so Teresa is still confident that she can take on such a task.

After arranging everything, Dio was ready to leave. At this moment, Aisha, who had been silent, spoke.

"Dio!"

With her little face up, Aisha looked at Dio very seriously, and said softly: "Go early and come back early!" ”

The words are clearly full of trust in Dio.

Dio smiled slightly, and then left the restaurant quickly with the army and the others.
