Chapter Eighty-Eight: Before the Action
In the central region of the imperial capital, in a hidden forest.
Leading his team to be stationed here, it is now the third day, and Luo Yin has been waiting for the next order.
Although he was very uninterested in the shemale man who gave orders, since it was a task entrusted by the instructor, Luo Yin thought that it was still necessary for him to correct his mentality.
Originally, he had planned to do so, but as long as he wanted the content of this mission, he couldn't be happy anyway.
- Obey the command of Dr. Fashion and launch an attack on Javier and his party who have left the imperial capital.
It's not a special task, it's just killing people, he's done similar things countless times, so often that he already feels numb in his heart.
Luo Yin is very confident in his own strength, and he has never missed a single time so far - as long as he is the target he is targeting, he will only die.
But that man is different.
Yes, Javier Salmondo, he can't generalize.
Although there is only one side of the relationship, and there has never even been a formal fight, Luo Yin knows that that man is the abyss.
An untouchable abyss is also an invincible abyss.
Even if he brandished a knife to challenge him, the result must be completely predictable.
Defeat is assured.
This is not self-indulgence, but a fact.
The minister regarded Javier as a confidant and wanted to get rid of him, so in this operation, he called a hundred elite killers, including himself, in one go.
This is already the vast majority of the strength of the Imperial Assassination Army, and if it is all destroyed here, this organization will completely exist in name only, which shows how determined the minister is.
However, this alone is not enough.
At this level of armed force, it is basically useless except for taking it to practice Javier's hand.
The minister must know this, too.
So, in addition to them, the Imperial killers who directly belonged to the minister, there was another force that was also dispatched.
That unit is called the "Fashion Force", which is simply a terrible name that people can't complain about, but it is a transformation unit created by Dr. Fashion, the chief scientist of the Empire.
Luo Yin had observed the soldiers in that unit from afar, and now that he thought about it, he still had a rather terrifying feeling.
Is it conceivable? There was not a single superfluous sound to be heard during the march, only a terrible silence.
Luo Yin could be sure that these people were still alive, but they looked like walking corpses, not much different from the dead, and faintly exuded a strong aura of danger, like hungry beasts, full of desire to attack.
- Artificial Army.
The formation of this army must have undergone a lot of cruel and terrible human experiments, but this has nothing to do with Luo Yin, he only cares about whether these people can come in handy in battle, and the answer is yes.
Such a conclusion made him feel a lot more at ease.
But it is unrealistic to completely put his mind at ease, that man can't be measured by common sense, even in the face of the combat power of a legion, there may not be no possibility of turning the tables.
So during this time, Luo Yin was thinking, he was speculating in his mind about several situations that would happen next, and preparing corresponding countermeasures.
If all goes well, that's good, but if the operation fails, he has to leave himself with a way out.
In any case, Luo Yin had no intention of risking his life for the minister.
-
"What's wrong, boy? You don't seem to look good. ”
The person who spoke next to him was a one-eyed red-haired man, who was sitting not far from Luo Yin, resting on a giant tree with his back, as if noticing the latter's absent-mindedness, and his rough face leaned over.
"Nothing, just thinking about something."
Luo Yin shook his head and said casually, intending to perfunctory the past.
The man named Sigmund in front of him was actually not familiar to him, because strictly speaking, the other party should be a person from the fashion side, but he came over to walk with his troops, and the reason given was that he didn't want to stay with that ladyboy doctor and was uncomfortable.
Thinking about the rumors about fashion, Luo Yin could probably understand his feelings.
However, since he is an unfamiliar person, there is no need for Luo Yin to get close to the other party.
"Haha, don't be so cold, boy." Sigmund didn't seem to care about his indifferent attitude, and said with a bold smile on his face, "We are now comrades in the common front, how can we not deepen our understanding?" ”
Luo Yin glanced at him and said softly, "I remember that you are from the Western Kingdom, why did you come to this troubled water?" The power game in the upper echelons of the empire should have nothing to do with you, right? ”
"Because it's a commission."
"Delegate?"
"Yes." Sigmund said, "Mercenary is such a profession, as long as you can afford to pay for it, you can do even the most dangerous work...... The one named Earnest is a big benefactor. ”
"You're going to die." Luo Yin said coldly.
"As a professional mercenary, I have long been aware that I will die at any time because of the mission." Sigmund said freely, "Besides, dying on the battlefield is the best fate for a man like me." ”
After a pause, he burst out laughing again: "If you die of old age and sickness at home, that is the funniest and most boring ending!" ”
"I can't understand your thoughts." Luo Yin shook his head.
I really can't understand what's wrong with living? Deliberately looking for death is the behavior of fools.
Luo Yin has been a street child since he was a child, and every day without food makes him understand the preciousness of life more deeply.
In order to survive, he forced himself to become stronger, from the introductory trial of the Imperial Fist Temple to the assassination of the Imperial Assassination Force, countless lives were sacrificed for it.
Along the way, the stubborn boy who could only grab a stone to demonstrate to others has become a bloodless and tearless shadow killer.
Although everything has changed, Luo Yin is still the same Luo Yin.
His desire has never changed, which is to live, just to live.
Only by living can there be a future.
So, he couldn't understand and scoffed at the statements of a combat fanatic like Sigmund.
Seeing the meaning in Luo Yin's eyes, Sigmund didn't have the idea of arguing with him, and after laughing a few times, he talked about other topics without paying attention: "Do you think I might die?" Is that guy named Javier really strong enough to be like that? ”
Luo Yin looked directly at Sigmund's crimson one-eyed, and then glanced at the two huge battle axes with hideous shapes that he had set aside, and was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "You are indeed very strong, even I am not very sure that I can take you down, but if this is all your strength, I will not be able to defeat that 'Spear of Judgment'." ”
"What if you are added, and the little girl next to you?" Sigmund said.
Although the contact time is not long, Sigmund has not had any contempt for this girl with black and white swords, he can mix like a fish in water in the high-risk industry of mercenaries, his eyesight is also quite extraordinary, and a person can still judge whether he is dangerous or not.
Suddenly mentioned, Curlet, who was sitting quietly and pretending to sleep, suddenly opened her beautiful big eyes, and after understanding Sigmund's question, she turned her eyes to Luo Yin, obviously very interested in this answer.
This time, Luo Yin was silent for a long time, and after frowning and thinking for nearly two minutes, he spit out four words word by word: "You can give it a try." ”
For a try, this is not a definitive answer.
If you think about it from a pessimistic point of view, you can risk your life to gamble on the odds, but there is still a great possibility of fiasco.
So Corlett's brow furrowed slightly, and she bit her lower lip lightly with her teeth, without saying a word.
The opponent was far stronger than she expected, which made her heart begin to rise with a faint unease.
Contrary to Corlett's fears, Sigmund laughed loudly, and the laughter drew the sideways glances of the killers around him, and the excitement and fanaticism revealed in it could be clearly felt by anyone.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect this kind of guy to exist!" He laughed and said, "Interesting! It's so much fun! I can't wait to fight that man!"
explained to Sigmund the strength of the opponent, but he didn't expect him to react like this, Luo Yin was slightly stunned, and felt more and more unreasonable that this man was unreasonable.
"Maniac."
He muttered to himself, then sighed softly, leaned his back against the thick trunk of the tree, and closed his eyes, intending to end the pointless conversation.
Suddenly, I don't know what he felt, his eyes opened again, his sharp gaze shot straight to a certain direction in the dense forest, and his mouth said softly: "Who is it?" Come out! ”
Sigmund and Corlett were apparently aware of this, and the latter immediately drew his sword in his hand and waited for it, while Sigmund only glanced at it faintly and turned away without paying attention.
"Hehehehe, Luo Yin, who is known as the 'No. 1 Killer in the Shadows', is very skilled."
An eerie male voice suddenly sounded in the shadows of the jungle, and then a lean man in a long trench coat and a wide-brimmed hat jumped in front of them from above.
"My name is Doloma." He bowed slightly to everyone, "I'm here to convey the order of the fashion lord." ”
"You just say it."
Luo Yin recognized this man, he was also a well-known figure in the fashion army, and he was a guy who was good at sneak attacks, but this level of stealth could not enter Luo Yin's eyes.
Fashion likes to compare his men to pawns in shogi, and the one in front of him is a reformed soldier known as "Katsura Ma".
"Javier Salmondo has appeared, and the fashion lord wants Captain Royin to be ready for a surprise attack." After Doloma finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the red-haired man on the side, "And Sigmund, you should almost go back over there, the fashion lord hasn't seen you, and now he's very angry." ”
"Got it, got it." Sigmund got up and glanced at him expressionlessly, "Just a little trash fish, don't preach to Uncle Ben." ”
Sigmund is this kind of character, only the strong can make him communicate with Yan Yuese, as for some weak scum who have no strength and no backbone, he has always been disdainful.
"You!"
Doloma looked furious, but she didn't dare to annoy Sigmund after all, so she had to swallow it.
"Hmph, rubbish."
The disdain in Sigmund's eyes became even worse, and then he turned his head and waved his hand at Luo Yin: "Then goodbye, if we can all survive, remember to fight with me later." ”
"Definitely." Luo Yin nodded.
Watching the figures of Sigmund and Doroma slowly disappear into the woods, Luo Yin's eyes finally faded from the dullness and became extremely solemn.
"Ready for action." He said, raising his hand.
"Yes!" The voices of the ninety-nine elite killers were neat and loud.
Luo Yin took off the clown mask hanging from his waist and put it on his face, and in the eyeholes of the mask were a pair of sharp and deep black eyes.
The battle began, and the target was an unprecedented enemy - Javier Salmondo.
To be honest, even Luo Yin, who has a 100% completion rate of the task, is a little uncertain this time.
After this war, I wonder how many people will survive?
