CH.91 Assassination
After the call, Martin called some of his subordinates and asked them to go out to find out about the Overlord Chamber of Commerce, trying to find out if Anrui was dead. The people he sent out were mainly divided into two groups, one group of people to inquire about the inside of the Dead City, and the other group of people to go outside to inquire about the news.
The people who were sent outside were ordinary people, not dark creatures, and in many places, dark creatures could not come and go at will, so Martin specially trained some ordinary humans as his subordinates in case of emergency.
Martin waited excitedly for the news to come back, and this wait was several days.
Death City, as a gathering place for dark creatures, is relatively closed to the news, and no useful news can be found. However, the human team sent out brought back some good news, they learned from some neighboring human cities that An Rui had just been attacked recently and was already dead, and the Overlord Chamber of Commerce also collapsed and turned into a plate of scattered sand. The news spread so much that it was being discussed around the world. Since Anrui defeated the army of the sun twice, his fame has risen and he has now become a world-renowned figure.
Whether it is the spies, assassins, or news from the outside world, they all say that An Rui is dead, and the caliber of the three parties is completely the same.
Martin then completely believed the matter, thinking that Anrui was really dead. The news made him happy, because Anrui was a potential enemy, and it would be nice to get rid of him.
In fact, not only Anrui, but also Martin regarded all the other traversers as potential enemies, because his own race is zombies, and he is destined to stand on the opposite side of those humans. Any traverser grows and grows. could threaten him.
Those traversers are a thorn in his side, and he is also a thorn in the side of those traversers.
To celebrate Anrui's assassination, Martin held a special celebration banquet. He also had people distribute dark coins in the city, and no matter who it was, everyone had a share.
After many more days, Connor finally returned, alone in the City of Death. He was wearing a black cloak and two short swords around his waist, and he looked in good spirits.
Martin saw Connor coming. In a very happy mood, he played with the dark scepter in his hand and smiled: "Great hero." You're finally back, and you've done a great job this time. ”
Connor walked up the scarlet carpet to Martin, and stood three yards away. He bowed down and said, "It's all my business." I thought that the honorable Lord of Death would serve and be useless. ”
"This fart is good, I can continue to shoot in the future, I like others to shoot my fart the most, even though I am not a horse."
"City Lord, you're really joking."
"Telling more bad jokes will help you live longer."
"City Lord, you will definitely live a long life."
"A hundred years is not long for a zombie. The flesh on my body doesn't rot so easily. Martin shrugged his shoulders and continued. Okay, that's all for the unnutritious gossip. Now let's get down to business, you killed An Rui and made a great achievement, how do you think I should reward you? ”
"I don't dare to ask for more rewards, as long as you can remove the corpse poison from my body." Connor looked down and said earnestly.
"This kind of trivial matter is too simple, you come here, come closer, and I will help you completely clean up the corpse poison. Zombies are handsome, but I'm guessing you're still reluctant to turn into a zombie. Martin smiled, his lips curled into a crescent moon.
Connor lowered his head, an obscure glance in his eyes, and walked to Martin's seat.
The two were now only twenty centimeters apart.
Martin condescended, pressed his hand on Connor's head, and said softly, "This will hurt a little, you have to learn to endure it, close your eyes first." ”
Connor looked nervous, but did as he could, closing his eyes.
Martin's face smiled even more, and his arm suddenly exerted force, using his strange power as a zombie. Wisps of green corpse gas came out of his sleeves, like bloodthirsty vipers, coiled and injected into Connor's head.
Not only did he not remove the corpse poison from Connor's body, but he injected more corpse poison into it!
"Haha, you idiot, do you think I'll let you go so easily? Don't say that you killed An Rui, even if you kill your biological father with your own hands, I won't let you go, and I will still turn you into a zombie and become my kind! From today onwards, revise your recipe and eat human flesh with me! Martin smiled maniacally, frantically releasing the corpse poison gas in his body.
A large amount of gas was injected into Connor's body.
"Ahh You liar! Connor screamed and raised his head, his body spreading a strange green color, and the teeth in his mouth quickly lengthened and became sharp. The rest of his body was also changing, gradually turning into a zombie.
"You can even kill An Rui, your strength is not bad, after turning into a zombie, you should be able to become my right-hand man." Martin smirked as he cast the spell.
"Ahh The process of turning into a zombie was painful, and Connor was speechless, except for screaming.
One laughed, the other screamed, their voices intertwined, echoing through the room.
After a few minutes, Connor finally turned into a zombie completely, the green color of his body had faded, but his physical features had become a complete zombie, with fangs and long nails, which looked quite terrifying. A lot of cold sweat broke out on his face from the pain, and sweat trickled down his cheeks, and he also drenched part of his hair.
"From now on, you have become my slave, and it will be the most glorious thing in your life." Martin withdrew his hand and said pleasantly.
"Not necessarily." Connor slowly raised his head, said something viciously, and then with great speed, ripped open a rope hidden in his sleeve.
This rope is a lead that connects many powerful bombs!
The bomb was strapped to Connor's body, and with the trigger of the lead, the bomb exploded, and the blazing flames swept in all directions.
This qiē happened very quickly. It was done in an instant, without giving Martin much time to react, and by the time he used his mind to influence Connor, it was too late. The Zombie King can command the zombies under his command with his mind. But it also takes a process, and it is impossible to control the zombies below all the time. And Connor has just become Martin's zombie, and the relationship between the two sides is not stable.
"Damn it!" Martin cursed, then shielded the door with his arms, and used the power of the Dark Scepter to create a large black ball of light, enveloping his body inside. The flames of the explosion hit the ball of light. The impact penetrated inside, causing some damage to Martin.
The bomb strapped to Connor's body was so powerful that the explosion lasted for a few moments. This gradually subsided.
The entire hall had been smashed, a large hole had appeared in the floor, a hole had been smashed in the ceiling, and the glass on both sides had been completely shattered. Fragments of various objects were scattered all over the place. The flames burned everywhere, emitting a scorching smell. In the chaos of the ground, some of the fragments left behind by Connor can be faintly seen.
Looking at Martin again, he was not much better, although he saved a small life, but the clothes on his body were torn, and there were many wounds on his skin.
"Connor! You bastard, you dare to play this hand with me. Martin lowered the scepter in his hand. Gritting his teeth and looking at the fragments on the ground, he never expected it. Connor was so ruthless that he would rather blow himself up than be a zombie slave.
Martin was so badly injured that he couldn't stand steadily for a while, and he fell to one knee on the ground.
At this moment, a figure jumped from the ceiling above and landed on top of Martin's head at lightning speed, stabbing a snow-white holy sword towards Martin.
Martin was badly wounded, and for a moment he couldn't dodge, and was stabbed in the head by the sword, and under the influence of the impact, he fell to the ground. Stuck in his head was a holy sword that exuded the power of divine faith, destroying his head and setting his body on fire.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely die on the spot, but Martin would not die immediately, because he was a stubborn zombie.
The man holding the holy sword slowly stepped back, and with great force in his hand, he tore Martin's body inch by inch with the holy sword, trying to cut Martin in half. The flames around him burned brightly, reflecting his face, and his appearance turned exactly like Connor, who had just blown himself up and died!
"Martin, you bastard zombie, I killed An Rui for you, and you still want to turn me into a zombie and refuse to remove the corpse poison from my body for me." Connor said viciously as he exerted his strength.
Martin heard that the voice was exactly the same as Connor's, and exclaimed, "Y-how could you ......?"
"The one who died just now was just a magical stand-in, and the real one I had lurked above your head under the cover of the explosion. It's not easy to kill you, and it took me so much effort to stab this holy sword into you. ”
"So that one was just a stand-in...... Martin gritted his teeth, knowing that he was careless.
"If I came to you as my real person, I wouldn't be stupid enough to blow myself up."
"Even now you are not so smart, your true body hides the corpse poison I planted, using this corpse poison, I can still kill you!" Martin's head has been split open, and he is still able to speak, using abilities unique to zombies.
Wisps of green corpse gas emanated from Connor's body, but they were quickly suppressed by a holy light.
"Don't waste your efforts, I wore a very powerful holy relic, and used the holy relic to suppress the corpse poison you planted for me, although it can't completely remove the corpse poison, but at least it can slow down the onset of corpse poison. You were dead before these corpse poisons attacked! Connor's hand suddenly exerted force, and the movement speed of the holy sword in his hand instantly accelerated, splitting Martin in half.
Completely speechless, Martin stretched out his arms upward, and the two halves of his body burst into flames and turned to ashes.
Seeing Martin burn to ashes, Connor breathed a sigh of relief and put down the holy sword in his hand.
In order to assassinate Martin, Connor and the scavenger arguably did their best, preparing bombs, creatures, doubles, and a legendary holy sword. Without these things, Connor would not have been able to succeed, no matter how good he was.
After Martin's death, the corpse poison in Connor's body was naturally lifted and disappeared without a trace. With a beaming face, he put the sword back into its scabbard, then reached for the black scepter that had fallen to the ground. He knew it was a powerful artifact that could be used to manipulate dark creatures, and of course he wanted to get his hands on it.
At this moment, an arrow burst through the air and slammed into Connor's palm.
Connor was taken aback, and quickly withdrew his hand, then rolled backwards and pulled out the holy sword that had just been inserted into its sheath.
An evil spirit archer strode in through the doorway, holding a bow made of bones and cat-shaped earrings on his ears, and it turned out to be Bereg!
After such a long time, Beregor has already returned to the City of the Dead, and has been secretly waiting for an opportunity, and now the opportunity has finally come. Once he has taken the Dark Staff, he can become the new master of Death City.
The evil spirit looked at Connor coldly, and the second arrow was already attached to the bow in his hand.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
Several sharp winds rang out, and arrows rained down on Connor, forcing him to retreat and move away from the black scepter on the ground.
Berego took the opportunity to wave his hand, and sent out a cloud of black qi, enveloping the dark scepter on the ground with the black qi, and swept it into his hand.
Connor didn't know anything about Berego, he didn't know him at all, and besides, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he simply chose to retreat. He jumped out of the shattered window next to him, and soon vanished.
Berego chased after him, standing at the window and shooting several arrows, but he couldn't kill Connor.
Hearing the news, a large number of dark creatures rushed to the dilapidated hall, and they looked around, and soon found Beregor holding the Dark Scepter in his hand.
"Go after the assassin who escaped just now, and kill him when he sees him." Berego turned his head and ordered the men.
He holds the Dark Scepter in his hand, and from now on he is the master of the Dead City, and all the dark creatures that break in must obey his orders.
The creatures of darkness could not disobey the order, so they complied, and then rushed out, going out to chase Connor who had fled.
Berego stood in front of the broken window, holding the Dark Scepter in his hand, looking imposing.
The light fairy who turned into an earring spoke at this time: "Berego, don't be arrogant there, don't forget our previous agreement, after you become the city lord, you must find a way to help me investigate the news related to Nobe." ”
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you with this." Berego assured.
This is exactly why the Light Elf allowed Beregor to snatch the Dark Scepter, and it was only for the sake of tracking down Nobe that Beregor fought for the Dark Scepter. (To be continued......)
