Outside of Noah, it's a humble grove.

Humble little bushes like this are everywhere. In this world, the area inhabited by humans only occupies a very small part of the land, and most of the outside of the city are some open spaces, mountains, and forests.

The shopkeeper looked around left and right to make sure no one was following, and then plunged headlong into the woods.

"Huh~!" A loud whistle sounded, this was their agreed code.

"Whoosh!" With a bang, a middle-aged man in light armor quietly fell from the sky, obviously waiting on the tree for a long time.

"Did they leave Noah?" The middle-aged man approached and asked, and after getting closer, the scar on the middle-aged man's face became more obvious, and a huge scar on the middle-aged man's face stretched across the entire face, and it was unimaginable that the knife wound that caused such a huge injury actually split his head in half without giving him a straight half.

For the sudden appearance of this middle-aged man, the shopkeeper was not surprised at all.

"Yes, they just left, you should be able to catch up in an hour if you follow the road of Noah City to the west." Shopkeeper said.

"Oh, thank you for your cooperation, and promise to give you the remaining half of the reward......" The middle-aged man quickly drew his knife, and after pulling out the knife with a blow, he instantly retracted the knife back into its sheath, and the speed was really "in the blink of an eye" to complete this blow and pull out the knife.

"Plop", "Plop" shopkeeper's body that lost his head and smashed to the ground, and the head that still kept his eyes open and maintained a panicked expression slammed to the ground, making two crisp plops in the silent woods.

"I don't think you'll need it anymore." The middle-aged man put the knife back into its sheath, his eyes full of indifference.

"Huh~ I said you're too ruthless, people are just messing around." There was a whistling sound from the trees, and the speaker's tone was flirtatious.

Immediately, a figure fell, also dressed in light armor, with blonde hair tied into a pigtail at the back of his head, which was very common in the Austin Empire, but this man was much younger than "Scarface", and he didn't look more than thirty years old.

These two are the powerhouses of the two princes, the "Scarface" warrior is named Gregory, and the younger one is named Kent.

The two powerhouses are the main combat forces of all forces, and they are both eighth-level martial artists.

Of course, these two powerhouses must not be the only ones who came to carry out the mission, they each brought a team of ten people, and the team was full of high-level martial artists!

Before succeeding to the position of His Majesty in the Austin Empire, although the princes had prominent status, they only had "status".

People with strength often have status easily, but people with status do not necessarily have strength.

Most of the power under the hands of these princes is just their own guards, and there are even low-level martial artists who are a little more shabby!

The strength of these princes was entirely given by their father, the current King Austin VII.

As for wanting more power, then you can only find a way to win over yourself, to win over swordsmanship teachers, magic teachers, major families, and so on.

Counting on the gift of Austin VII, even the most favored prince can only get a captain of the guard with the strength of a high martial artist.

So don't look at the fact that these two teams of people and horses are only eighth-level martial artists, in fact, this is already the strongest lineup that the two princes can send out......

Besides, an eighth-level martial artist can still be regarded as a strong person in the imperial capital where there are many masters.

It's just that Tong Xi and the others have lived at the top of power since they were children, and they are all high-level martial artists and high-level magicians, so they have the illusion that high-level martial artists are worthless.

In some second-tier cities, the eighth-level martial artist is already the highest combat power in the city!

As for why it is clear that several princes are competitors, and why the squads from the opposing lineups of the two princes will perform tasks together, the reason is even simpler.

The enemy of an enemy is an ally, and this is a truth that remains unchanged in any world and in any era.

As for the princes, they don't mind joining forces to take out one of their very competitive opponents first.

Due to the large number of high-ranking warriors in the two teams, the gathering of this level of "armed forces" is too eye-catching, so they choose to hide in the woods near Noah City. After all, the mission they want to carry out is based on the premise of "confidentiality", and to enter Noah City, you need to show your "ID card" to pass through the city gate, and even take out your "ID card", so it's a fart!

Even if they evaded the city guards on duty at the city gate, they couldn't hide from the ninth-level powerhouse stationed in Noah City.

……

"Scarface" martial artist Gregory snorted coldly.

"Humph! He's already seen what I look like, don't you want me! I don't know how many pairs of eyes watched him walk out of the city gates! Let him go back, maybe he will be arrested immediately, and then confess all of us!" Gregory sneered.

"Don't be angry, I'm just kidding." Kent snorted and laughed.

"But inexplicably hired by a murderous guy, asking to go out of the city gate to this remote grove to send information, no matter how you look at it, it feels dangerous, this big scar on your face is obviously equivalent to writing 'The person who came is not good', this guy is simply asking for money and not dying!" Kent smiled as he looked at the headless corpse on the ground.

"Humph! If one gold coin is not enough, then two gold coins, if two gold coins are not enough, then four gold coins, as long as the price is enough, anyone will take a risk. Isn't that what you and I have appointed to be the same with our masters? Gregory snorted coldly and looked at Kent beside him.

"But this mission between you and me is simply to cover your ears and steal the bell, who is the person who will send a strong man to assassinate Prince Bowen, a fool can think of it. However, our King is really ruthless, and on the surface he forbids their brothers to kill each other, I don't believe that these actions behind our backs can hide from His Majesty Austin VII, who has the strength of the entire empire! ”

"It is estimated that our Majesty Austin VII is in the upper position as if watching the excitement, watching his sons pinch each other." Kent smiled helplessly.

"Since you have participated in the game, you have to abide by the rules of the game." Gregory snorted, then squinted at Kent beside him.

"Young people, sometimes talking a little less can make you live longer." Gregory said with a cold look in his eyes.

It's just that Kent doesn't seem to pay much attention to Gregory's words, and still has a flirtatious smile on his face.

"Well...... I don't think it's too early, talk to Uncle Gregory for a while, relax, relax, you don't want to do assassination in broad daylight, do you? ”
