Chapter 045: Assassin
And then, Thorin's performance did not disappoint Zoro. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info On his face, the expression was very settled, and Thorin's heart was occupied by a great power. This strength was his confidence in Zoro and in the future of the Dragon Court Woodlands.
"My lord, I support your decision. and willing to convince dwarven families who hold noble titles that they should give up the privilege of automatically obtaining titles and positions when members of the family are 20 years old. ā
"In the name of Lord Sauron, Lord Sauron, anyone who voluntarily joins the Dragon Court Legion and is under the age of 30 can sign up."
Ares quickly conveyed the lord's order to the entire town, causing a heated discussion.
One of the most interesting is the promotion system for sergeants of the 20th grade. This has never been done and has never been heard of.
In the past, generally only when ****, and the invasion of the enemy, and the exhaustion of the army, the lord would often forcibly conscript, causing harassment and suffering to the civilians. The current situation is different.
Only some of the refugees from the major towns are women and children, and most of them are young and middle-aged. Because they had no money, no decent shelter, and little food and drink.
In order to support their families and improve their lives, basically every young and strong person is willing to join the army.
Therefore, the recruitment of an army of 3,000 people not only did not affect the loyalty and security of the people in the territory, but also alleviated the negative data that was about to explode to a certain extent. After resting for half a day with his eyes closed, Sauron woke up from fatigue. A day's lordship doesn't end right now.
"The first task of a recruit is to collect and hunt. Everyone has only one goal, and that is to scavenge for as much food as possible. Our current food only lasts for a month. ā
Giving such an order, Sauron knew that it was not his intention. It's an unfortunate land, and after the trolls have wreaked havoc, it's already barren. But he still had to squeeze the land for the sake of the territory, even if doing so would cause some wild aliens to be dissatisfied.
But for the sake of the Dragon Court Woodland, it must be done again. The Construction Guild only has one airship, and it has to transport construction materials and build more buildings for the Dragon Garden's woodland.
So far, with the dome defense, the Dragon Court Woodland may be able to withstand the attack of the Zhongping Ridge army. However, if the Zhongpingling army besieges the Longting woodland for a long time, then there is no cultivated land harvest itself, and the Longting woodland must have a little more food storage.
Zoro was almost certain that when Marquis Vought found the corpses of the goblins and dwarves left behind in the trolls, he would know who had taken the loot that should have belonged to him, the totem liquid.
At the same time, Sauron can also imagine that at this time, the arrogant and invincible Marquis of Walter must be furious. Zoro seemed to be able to foresee that a huge army, shouting the marching slogan "solid as a rock", was coming towards the Dragon Court Woodland.
Standing on the third floor of the lord's mansion and looking into the distance, the yellow fields began to turn green.
Fresh green leaves sprout on dead branches. Sauron's eye sockets shimmered with a peculiar tranquility.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Time, it is neither visible nor tangible.
But it really makes people feel like it's passing by in a hurry. There was a sound of snoring, and the servant in charge of the lamp fell asleep in the corner.
After writing the necessary lord's journal and putting down the quill pen stained with red marks in his hand, Zoro did not leave the lord's hall and went to the bedroom on the third floor of the lord's mansion to rest.
Staring at the oil fire jumping in the corner of the table, he was counting the time, as if waiting for something to come.
In Sauron's eyes, the hall of the lord was a little too spacious, the furnishings of items were a little scattered, and in the dark night, the limited light of the oil lamps made the dark hall look a little desolate, but all this gave people a special feeling.
In particular, through the prompting of the Ringwraith, no one has escaped the detection of the Witch King of Angmar.
Staring at a corner beyond the light, the smile on Zoro's face deepened, and under the light of the oil lamp, the corners of his phoenix-like eyes made his feminine face look more and more handsome, "Your leg injury will heal faster than I thought." āāāā Tiles. ā
Hearing the lord's words, a servant, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, suddenly woke up from his slumber.
"Your lordship, you have ...... orders"
Ten meters away from the front of Sauron's desk, the servant's voice stopped abruptly, rolled his eyes, and was knocked unconscious from behind.
Behind the manservant's crooked body was an assassin in a cloak.
"Lord of the Dragon Court Woodlands, I am impressed by your acumen. Unfortunately, your personal safety doesn't add to this. ā
Tilce stepped out of the darkness and stood still in the light of the light just enough to clear half of his body. The low-hanging cloak hat covered most of his cheeks, but he could see the sharpness of a dagger from the cold light in the corner of Tilles' eyes.
It's just that what he saw from the dark color of the Lord of the Dragon Court Woodland was as black as paint, and all he saw was indifference.
A figure landed from above the lord's hall, and a long sword gently pressed against the back of Tilles' heart. Leon, the officer of the guard, stood behind him. "If I were you, I wouldn't move!"
As the guard officer Leon had warned, with his back to a professional warrior, Tilles seemed to have no chance of fighting back. What's more, in the eyes of the guard officer Leon, his leg injury has not healed at all.
However, in the blink of an eye, the guard officer Leon lost his goal.
Until a cold Demon Kiln Sword suddenly appeared, at this point, Tilles's eyes were gloomy as if they had been sprinkled with a layer of ash, but there was no trace of nervousness. Instead, he smiled lightly and said wittily, "Lord Lord, I owe you three lives!" ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
After a conversation with Tilles. Although it is impossible to detect the basic attributes of the opponent. Zoro can at least tell if the other party is lying or not through subtle observation and careful thinking.
Silver Shadow Ganlun, that's a resounding name.
This man is said to have served the Prince of Montenegro and led an Assassin Order called the Hands of Darkness.
Tilce was an orphan adopted by the shadow killer, and under the teaching of the other party, Tilce grew up quickly.
Perhaps luck could not have favored a group of unseen Assassins forever, and under pressure from King Yolande of Dande, this secret Assassin force, the Dark Hand of Montenegro, was killed by Prince Edie of Montenegro. With the death of Ganlun, the members of the Dark Hand began to flee.
And there are a small number of people who still have a life. Nominally, they are traitors wanted by the city of Montenegro. Even the mission halls of Greenland Castle have the names of these people in place.
The Dark Hand was disbanded, and the Dark Hand assassins began to find their own way out, serving the ordinary lords and nobles incognito.
However, Tiles was not so lucky. He wanted to revive the hand of darkness, but he didn't expect that the only Lord of Onyx who dared to take him in died like this.
The Assassins who followed him paid an unprecedented price, losing almost everything to protect Baron Abraham. Tiles was lucky enough to escape, but unexpectedly, while being wounded, he was captured by the slave trader Valentine until he met Zoro.
The above is Tilles's own statement.
In Sauron's mind, the Assassin is not only a killer on a mission, but also a special forces force that launches surprise attacks.
Every lord and nobleman should have his own 'shadow'. And this 'shadow', he must be in tune with every 'action' of the master.
"Tiles, you claim to owe me two lives. As a lord noble, I appreciate your candour. It's just that I think that all cooperation is on a profitable basis, and not just a gratitude. If you want to leave, the doors are open at any time. But if you want to stay, you must swear allegiance to your lord with your life. ā
Sauron's expression was languid, and in the depths of his eyes, which contained justice and wisdom, there was absolute slaughter and coldness. This could not escape the instincts of an assassin in Tilles.
And, after a day of investigation and ear-and-eye rendering, Tilles found an interesting phenomenon, that is, no matter who they were, they all obeyed the words of this young lord who was only a teenager. Everything in the entire Dragon Court Woodland is also running in an orderly manner according to the will of this young lord.
Of course, what made him feel the most palpitations was the existence of the Ring Spirit Angmar Witch King, who was not human, like a ghost but not a ghost.
"I, Tils, swear with my life to be loyal to Lord of the Dragoncourt Woodlands, Lord Sauron."
Tilles lowered his body and touched the tips of his right fingers to the ground, knelt on one leg on his right knee, and pressed his left hand on his left knee, "From today on, the will of Lord Tils is the goal of my Tilles. My sword ,āā your sword! ā
Assassin is arguably one of the most cold-blooded professions in the world. Essentially, Assassins and Killers do the same job ā taking human lives.
However, killers are usually in it for money, while assassins have more political agendas. Due to the special nature of the Assassins, they often worked for their lords and nobles.
Maybe one bronze warrior can't shake another bronze warrior from the front. But if hiding in a dark corner and suddenly appearing behind you, the Assassin will deliver the deadliest blow to any person of the same class - this is how Zoro defines the Assassin profession.

Given the hint, Zoro's face showed the majesty of a lord at the right time, "From today onwards, Tilles, you will be my chief assassin. As the sole legal lord of the Dragon Court Woodland, I will trust your oath and loyalty incomparably! ā¦ā¦ Among the refugees who poured into the territory were many orphans, and starting tomorrow, the guard officer Leon will leave them all in your care. ā
[Tilles, Loyalty: ā ā ā ā ā ]
"As for the details of these things,...... I don't think it's a good time to talk about this. ā
When the corners of Zoro's mouth raised a wisp of mockery, a wry smile was outlined. He received a hint from the Ring Spirit, and a large number of professionals came towards the Dragon Court Woodland.
Without any deliberate disguise, Tiles could clearly see the slightest bit of coldness and indifference in Zoro's eyes.
Immediately after, the sound of an enemy attack horn resounded in the sky above the Dragon Court Woodland.
Outside Lord Lorkadan's door, there was the sound of compact footsteps. Ares and Thorin, tall and short, pushed the door in at about the same time, and their expressions looked a little solemn.
"Lord Lord, it's the Zhongpingling Army! āāāāā
