Chapter 100: The Assassin I
Even so, Angela could still see a trace of regret flashing in the queen's eyes, matching her delicate appearance and the queen's identity...... Tsk, it's really a goblin, or a drama spirit.
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to tell Your Majesty, it's just that with Your Majesty's knowledge...... Even if you say it, Your Majesty doesn't understand. ”
The corners of the queen's mouth twitched, no longer showing that expression, and sat up precariously: "That's right, in the Iron Fist Fortress, thanks to Your Excellency, we would like to ask Your Excellency to stay here for a few days, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
"Really?"
The queen nodded affirmatively: "Really." ”
Angela looked at her with a smile, and after a while: "Okay, I promised, please leave it to Your Majesty in the next few days." ”
Despite knowing that she was taking advantage of herself, Angela agreed, after all, the queen is very beautiful, and she always has to give her some face, doesn't she?
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body softened, and large beads of sweat soaked through her clothes.
Although she is extremely powerful, she is also extremely stressed under the combination of Angela's faint dragon power and illusion.
Fortunately, Angela didn't make it bad, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sit here like this.
Since she has the intention of using Angela, the queen will naturally strive to do everything to the best of her ability.
In the past two days, Angela has been meticulous.
The best wine and the most delicious food were placed in front of Angela, and the best tailor was invited to help Angela make a set of clothes and cloak that were very suitable for travelers to wear from the wing membrane of the dragon-shaped evil god carrier, and a dozen handsome men and women were arranged around Angela's side, and Angela was at her command.
The only regret was that the weather was not good for both days, and the heavy rain caused the water to accumulate on the streets to the knees. The thick clouds in the sky made the surroundings drowsy, and the lack of thunder and lightning made the ghouls even more arrogant. In short, all this made the queen's promise to take Angela to the garden to enjoy the flowers came to naught.
And it's the kind of weather that gives some people the opportunity.
The icy rain fell on the icy armor, and the lanterns that shook in the torrential rain were like ghostly fires, floating in the sky and fluttering in all directions.
In the light, figures flickered, and the occasional blade shimmered with cold light.
The sound of the rain obscured their heavy steps, and they waded cautiously to the vicinity of the palace.
Naturally, it was impossible to be safe along the way, and those ghouls were stupid and bold one by one, and they didn't care about their numbers, they only knew howling and pounced. In addition, there are a few clever ones, they lurk in the water, wait for someone to approach and launch a surprise attack, catch the target off guard, there are many casualties caused by these clever guys, but it is all worth it.
The palace was built on high ground and the high steps prevented the rain from raging through the palace.
The soldiers' patrols had long since been abolished, replaced by tighter interiors, standing on the outer walls of the palace, shuttling back and forth through the corridors, five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry.
However, none of this can withstand an inner ghost.
The main force guarding the palace, needless to say, is naturally the knights of the court.
As a noble family or a knight family, they have received rigorous knightly training since childhood, and when they grew up, they joined the knights after various selections and became the queen's guards.
There is no doubt that they are all qualified knights, with excellent equipment, superb martial arts, excellent discipline, they can charge with guns on their horses, they can kill the enemy in formation when they get off their horses, and they can read and write with a pen.
That is to say, it is often said that they can be literate and martial, and in the army, they are the most elite heavy cavalry, or it can also be said that heavy infantry and basic commanders, and when they take off their armor, they are personable nobles, and they can cope with it freely in the staggered situation.
As such an existence, gathering them together is definitely an extremely powerful force, and the Court Knights with 300 knights are such a powerful force, not to mention that they are the guards guarding the queen, and they are a combination of glory, wealth, and the favor of beauty, and their morale is naturally extremely high, which is better than the same knights.
With them defending the palace, even ten times as many enemies would not be able to break through.
Today, however, more than 100 Assassins have entered the palace without blood.
And they easily broke the palace defense system that seemed to be like an iron bucket.
On the outskirts of the palace, on a somewhat remote tower, a thick rope hung down, and the black-robed Assassins climbed up quickly.
And on the castle tower, several court knights turned a blind eye to all this.
They looked coldly, standing there like statues, their armor, their axes flickering in the light of the fire on the torches attached to the pillars, and they looked so mighty, but they did not have the effect of deterring outsiders at all.
These outsiders walked in front of them with dignity, not afraid of their axes that seemed to be ready to fall at any time, all because they were not enemies.
It's ridiculous to say that the guards and the assassins are in the same group, but it's true.
More than a hundred Assassins managed to enter the palace and take the thick rope with them, while the court knights stood motionless, as if they were doing their duty.
The visor covering the helmet obscured their faces, and just through the gaps in the visor, it was impossible to see their faces and not know what they were thinking.
In the garden, the precious flowers and plants were shattered by the rainstorm, and the breath was dying, and they bent over and leaned down against the dirty soil.
Even though it was so miserable, the big foot still stepped on it mercilessly, crushed it into pieces, and completely fused with the dirt.
The men in black cautiously walked through the garden, they had prepared a map of the defenses, which clearly told them that the guards here were the weakest, and that there were plenty of objects to cover up.
These men in black were already walking lightly, stepping on the soft earth, and making a slight rustling sound in line with the sound of rain.
Suddenly, the voices stopped.
The men in black quickly found cover and quickly "disappeared".
Not far away, first the light of the fire flickered, and then the sound of neat footsteps, the sound of iron boots and wooden planks clashing.
A group of court knights walked past the place in orderly steps, bright torches illuminating the corridors, and even outside the heavy rain, it was clear that the scene was within three yards.
This group of court knights walked over, and the people in black knew that it would be ten minutes before the next team of court knights would pass by, so they quickened their pace and passed through here quickly and orderly.
