Chapter 50: Things Always Happen When You Expect It

There is a new young man named Hunter in the garrison, very energetic, although in the probationary period, but the captain of the garrison Rod asked him to patrol and patrol, and there is no word in the night shift to stand guard, compared to those old oilmen who don't use bean bags as dry food, Rod likes such young people.

The only downside.....

That is, Hunter is a talker, always following Rod's east and west, on duty that night, bad luck, the follower ate a bad stomach, and Rod could only go out against the angry scolding of his wife at home.

I just hope that Drifting Snow Daily will not be writing a "Shock! Why was the captain of the guard kicked out of the house on the night shift?

The two squatted on the watchtower, and in the face of Hunter's chatter, Rhodes had no choice but to sacrifice a killer weapon.

"Don't be distracted, talk less and watch more, and I'll give you a report if you do a good job"

"Really?!"

Hunter's eyes lit up, and old Rod pretended to take a sip of tea, only to say that there was no wine for a few days, and the bird was going to fade out of his mouth, but unfortunately his wife didn't let him drink it.

Hunter, who got the promise, became more and more enthusiastic, and took the telescope and pretended to start patrolling around, and really found something strange for him, is there a lot of people passing by in the alley?

This point should be sparsely populated in the first place, and it seems that some people are just going around in circles? Cleverly avoided the high-privilege area that was forbidden to pass and circled around the workshop.

"Captain, look at the steps down there and want to steal something."

"Ask me what I'm doing, go down and interrogate if you're not sure, bring your gun"

After a cup of tea, Hunter did not come back, and Rod became suspicious, although it was not good to leave the sentry post, but he went down to see what was wrong, and took a new type of arrow.

"Hunter? Where can the stinky boy touch the fish? Come out for Lao Tzu."

After greeting a few times, there was no response, which made Rod feel a little bad in his heart, and he looked around, and finally found a trace of clothing next to a pile of boxes.

"Hey, what about this kid squatting and fishing?"

Stretching out his hand, a body fell down, Hunter's eyes were blank, only half a breath left, and he saw that it was Rod who regained some brightness in his eyes.

"Captain..... someone... Rebellion"

After speaking, the strength of the last breath was also exhausted, and his eyes gradually lost focus, and Rhodes was speechless for a while, silently closed Hunter's eyes with his hands, took out his musket and looked around vigilantly.

There was no blood on the ground, and it was clear that Hunter had been moved here.

"Humph! What a person, sneaky! Get the hell out of here! ”

He tried to take two steps forward, but no one responded to him, and just as he was feeling strange, a window in the alley suddenly opened, and a hand stretched out and strangled Rod by the neck.

The alley also followed the figure, raising the dagger at Rod is stabbing violently, the old Rod never expected that the sneak attack was actually the nearby residents, the whole person fell softly, trying to catch the musket that fell not far away, but the other party did not give him this opportunity.

The man who walked out of the alley took Rod's musket and aimed it at his head, but after thinking about it, he still didn't pull the trigger, worried about what the sound would expose, so he should be left to fend for himself.

Old Rod's consciousness gradually blurred, and in a trance, he remembered that there was still something in his arms, which was a new type of arrow issued by the city lord, and it could only be used as a last resort.

……..

Fran sneakily wandered around the castle in the middle of the night, and in the evening she saw Leo sneakily sneaking into the kitchen with a jar of dried fruit, definitely wanting to eat alone!

But I saw a stranger, dressed as an apprentice in the workshop?

"Hey, what do you do, what are you doing here in the middle of the night"

The apprentice was startled when he saw Fran, and then he calmed down again, and bowed half-kneeling.

"I've seen Your Highness, Master Brute Hammer said that there are some problems on the drawings, let me send them to the Lord for correction."

"Oh~ That's it, then let's go"

The apprentice wiped his sweat and quickened his pace, but a rapier was resting on his neck as he turned.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, what are you doing..."

"Are all the apprentices of craftsmen now going to be able to do physical arts? It's a good thing to cover up, but it's a pity that you're in a hurry to go, and your footwork is exposed."

"That's....that's just.."

Before he could finish, Fran smiled contemptuously.

"Hehe, it seems that you are new here, if the drawings are wrong, the old man of the hammer will definitely not send an apprentice, but will personally come to paste this wrong drawing on Leo's face as soon as possible"

"Your Highness, I can explain all of this"

With a sad face, the apprentice turned around with the drawings in his hands, but his expression changed suddenly, and he took out a dagger from the scroll and stabbed it.

The thin sword stayed on his trajectory as if it had been calculated, and pierced straight into his chest, and the apprentice clutched his chest with an incredulous expression.

"According to Leo, what is it, oh, a job change! I've been an assassin a long time ago."

"You....level is too low"

Although he didn't understand Fran's words, Fran's ridicule was well conveyed to the Assassin, but there would be no response.

Meanwhile, a guard came from outside Leo's office and knocked politely on the door.

"My lord, there's an urgent letter from Blackstone."

"Come in"

The guard walked quickly in front of Leo, but his hand reached for the musket at his waist, and as he drew it, there was a burst of noise outside the window.

Leo was the first to react, and stood up in a flash, this is a new type of arrow distributed to the defenders, as long as it is lightly pressed, it can be used without ignition.

The guard was startled, but the musket that had been aimed at Leo's head hit Leo's body, and Leo let out a sigh and sat down again.

Looking at Leo who was silent, the guard breathed a sigh of relief, and received a musket blow at close range, no matter who he was, he would definitely die, right?

When he was thinking about whether to make up for it or run away, his eyes widened in shock, and Leo, who was already "dead", took out a musket from somewhere and aimed it at himself.

"I'll give you a chance to tell me who instructed you, and I'll spare you your life if it's right."

"Let's say first, don't think about running away or resisting, whether it's loading or turning around, you're not as fast as I pull the trigger"

The guard suddenly giggled, and there was a bit of misery in his eyes, although he didn't know how Leo had survived, but now it was his time to die.

"Actually, I didn't want to do this, I'm sorry, my lord."

As he spoke, he bit something in his mouth, his body fell down as soon as he tilted, and the door was pushed open, but it was Fran who came as soon as possible, and saw that Leo was okay and pounced, and the whole person hung on Leo's neck like a pendant.

"I thought something had happened to you when I heard the gunshot, and I was worried to death"

Leo looked at the teary-eyed Fran and felt moved, stroked the top of Fran's head, and gently patted her back, while Fran hugged her tighter.

Muskets had already sounded outside the window, and the first time they heard the alarm, their students probably reacted, Fran was fine, now just wait for the result, remembering what the guard said before he died, Leo's expression became more and more serious.
