Chapter 252: The Assassination of Prince
At night, Osamu Amami and James Kidd stand on the roof of a church.
"That's the old Prince's lair." James Kidd pointed to a farm yard in the distance and introduced, "There are more than a dozen guards outside the farm, and there are three watchtowers. The guards were constantly on the perimeter, and at night, they relied on the bells to inform other soldiers and guards. ”
"There are so many guards here that it's almost impossible to hide their whereabouts, I'm going to get their attention, and you're going to take the opportunity to take those guards down."
"Are you ready to bring out your feminine essence and sacrifice your hue to get their attention?"
Amami's slightly teasing voice stopped James Kidd, who was about to reveal his true face. She turned her head to look at Tianjian Xiu, her eyes full of incredulity.
"Nothing surprising." Amami Shu lightly debunked James Kidd's true identity: "Mary Reed, one of Ah Tabai's most proud students, hid her real name in order to become a pirate, disguised as James Kidd, William Kidd's illegitimate son. A person who doesn't exist. And William Kidd has been dead for more than ten years, and naturally no one will prove whether this James Kidd is his illegitimate son or not. ”
Mary Reid was silent for a long time and asked, "Did the mentor tell you?" ”
In the past few years, he has never been recognized by himself as James Kidd. Even his mentor couldn't tell that he was a woman disguised as a man, the person next to him had only known him for a few months, and the two didn't see each other often, how could he see through that he was a woman disguised as a man so easily, and he knew his real name. It could only be that his mentor, Ah Tabai, told him.
If so, then why would the guru do it?
While Mary Lee's thoughts were wandering, Amami had already jumped off the church. He didn't answer the other party's questions before the action.
Outside the farm, there is a plantation with a large number of sugar crops.
Hiding in the sugar cane forest, Amamishu began to deal with the guards, and destroyed the three alarm bells. To be honest, this infiltration made Tianjian Shu feel very uncomfortable. The soldiers and guards weren't hard to deal with, but the working slaves were always passing by again and again, and they were even more diligent than the patrolling guards.
No matter what you say, these guards outside the village courtyard were still cleared by Tianjian Xiu. Including the guards on the three watchtowers, they grabbed two smoothbore guns at the same time and carried them behind their backs.
At the door of the farm, Mary Reed clutched her abdomen, her face full of pain. She staggered to the gate and asked for help from the soldiers inside.
"Stop, don't come close!"
The soldiers inside the door drew their weapons, intent on driving them away.
"Please, I'm injured and need treatment." Mary Reid looked very pitiful and helpless.
"Damn it, Wimpson, look at her! She's hurt! When the soldier saw Mary Reed like this, he immediately stepped forward and opened the gate of the farm.
"I'll help you go." The kind soldier stepped forward to support Mary Reid, who was 'badly wounded'.
Mary Reid's expression changed from pain to ferocity as she was held up by the soldier, and she drew the weapon at her waist to kill the kind soldier. Just as she was about to take the knife down, a silver-white throwing knife struck the long sword, interrupting Mary Reid's movements.
Amami's figure rushed out of the bushes on either side of the gate, and a swift figure rushed in front of the soldier, using both hands as a knife, and struck the back of the two soldiers in the neck at the same time, knocking them unconscious. The two soldiers were then dragged into the bushes.
"Your kindness saved you, soldiers......"
……
Passing the guards and slaves in the manor, Amamishu was not discovered by any of them. Then he infiltrated the mansion of the village and probed through the rooms, killing the snipers on the roof of the mansion. From the observation deck in the backyard of the mansion, Amami discovers Prince, who is looking out over his vast wealth.
Step by step, he walked towards Prince, who had his back to him, without making a sound. Standing behind him, he stabbed the opponent's body with his Hidden Blade. Then he quickly drew his Hidden Blade and slowly lowered Prince to the ground.
"Why are you whirling around my head like a crow?" Looking at the hooded man in front of him, Prince's voice was a little hoarse. "Just to make an old man like me suffer?"
Prince looked like a poor old man at this point, but he only looked pitiful.
"This is the retribution you deserve, Mr. Prince. For what you do. Tianjian Xiu said in a calm tone.
"You ridiculous killers and ridiculous philosophies." Prince's tone was contemptuous. The Assassins' beliefs had been known to Prince several years ago from the mouth of the Templars, a collaborator.
"You live in this world, but you can't fit in."
"I don't seem to be very compatible with the world." Amami Shu answered this question very seriously.
Prince looked at the assassin in front of him strangely. Isn't he supposed to refute himself?
What he didn't know was that what Tianjian Xiu had just said about incompatibility was just referring to himself.
"Whether we are Assassins or Templars, we all share what we consider to be high beliefs and consciousness. These beliefs and realizations have sustained most people to the present day. Among them, there are slaves who are enslaved by you and by people like you. ”
These people don't know what lies beneath this faith.
The Assassins worked in the shadows, and time and time again, they stopped the Templar Order's plots. Many of the Templars' plans were not simple, to create what they called a world of order. The period when the Forerunners ruled mankind was unimaginable to these people. What they are concerned about is nothing more than immediate interests.
Like money, like power.
Prince ruled a large number of slaves with money and power, while the Forerunners controlled all the humans on Earth with that powerful weapon. Compared to these slaves, those who were controlled by the Weapons of Eden were even more miserable.
During the First Civilization, most of humanity was controlled by the Apple of Eden and similar technological weapons, and became the labor force of the Forerunners.
"Hehe, faith." Prince scoffed, not sure whether to laugh at the stupidity of the Assassins or to laugh at himself.
"Only money, only money......"
Looking at Prince, who was no longer breathing, Amami Shu closed his eyes for him. In the face of the deceased, one should treat him with the respect he deserves, no matter what he has done during his lifetime.
