The city of Dunwall was not destined to be quiet tonight, and instead of the usual weeping, three explosions in quick succession and the sound of sirens that followed made all the people of the royal capital shudder in their homes.

After half a year of temporary military administration, the former open and confident expression on their faces gradually disappeared, and now only obedience and trembling remained, and fear was a very useful weapon in teaching people to be obedient, at least, the Lord Regent had always believed in it, and he used it well.

Twenty seconds after the sirens sounded, High Overseer Gambol burst out of his bedroom in his pajamas, his warm bed with two twin girls who had just turned 15 years old, and now, the pleasant activity was interrupted by the sound of a sparkling siren, and the threesome could not come.

High Overseer Gambol was in his forties, with a burly build, a fierce face, and a bald head and scarred heads, all of which were said to have been left behind in front-line battles.

This man is lustful and cruel, and he still cares about his own life, but none of this prevents him from becoming a difficult guy, don't look at the five big and three coarse, in terms of military use and wisdom, he still deserves the name of the Supreme Overseer.

Gambol first brought himself a glass of spirits, and after pouring it down, his angry face turned a little rosy, and he squinted at the adjutant standing beside him, and said, "Adjutant, tell me now what happened in Dunwall. ”

"Your Excellency, according to the current information, we only know that there have been explosions and riots in Dunwall, and it is assumed that there are hostile agents entering the city to destroy it. The lieutenant stood up straight and replied aloud, and though there was no useful information coming back now, it was all the more likely to anger the High Overseer by not speaking.

"Why did the alarm come out?" said Gambol in a majestic voice, staring at the adjutant with a hint of unkindness, "Hostile forces, foreign invaders, or moths within the empire?"

The adjutant felt a cold sweat running across his face, and swallowed nervously, "Your Excellency the Supreme Overseer, there is no conclusive information yet, and my subordinates... Don't dare to guess. ”

"Damn, how could I have such a shitty lieutenant as you! I don't know what's going on until now!" Gambol stood up and roared, slamming the expensive crystal wine glass to the ground, then turned around and flipped over a few small couches and a low table, only to vent a little of the evil fire that hadn't been on the twins.

"Stupid pig, what are you still standing for, open the secret passage, evacuate from the backyard, let the Iron Overseer troops pack up bunker 4, and we'll go there. Gambol unfastened his dressing gown, and a close-fitting servant immediately followed him to change his clothes, and important people could not wear any clothing with obvious characteristics during the transfer, so the current High Overseer only made a simple hunting costume, no different from ordinary imperial nobles.

Gambol waved off his servants and straightened his collar, a habit he had had for many years, and in his words, it was better to have his own hands in order to straighten out this important place near his neck.

"Stupid pig, tell me, according to the emergency plan, are my escorts and guards all in place?" Gambol asked again, and then strode towards the direction of the basement, the adjutant and a small group of Iron Mask Overseers immediately followed, and the adjutant known as "Stupid Pig" replied cautiously: "Your Excellency Supreme Overseer, your escort troops are all in place, there are a total of 35 elite Iron Mask Overseers, 70 members of the outer city police force, and 1 high-legged guard urgently called back by the expeditionary force, he only arrived today. ”

Gambol walked down a few steps, the expression on his face soothed, "Damn, you can still tell me some good news today, where is the Tall Guard?"

"Just outside the backyard on the street, and your armored mobility vehicle, now all ready, is parked at the exit of the backyard secret passage. The adjutant replied with some breath, he was a somewhat lean young man, and his stride was smaller than that of the burly Gambol, and he had to trot up to keep up with the High Overseer.

The two of them walked forward quickly, gradually going deeper and deeper, and it was much darker than the brightly lit above-ground part of the mansion just now.

Choosing the underground secret passage to leave the mansion was not an extra move on Gambol's part, and his instincts after years in the army told him that tonight's events were not so simple.

The Lord Regent is touring the Northern Territories and will not return to the Imperial Capital until tomorrow morning, three hours after he leaves Dunwall, which means that he will be the central figure of the Regent's faction in Dunwall this evening, and it is very likely that any hostile forces will come at him if they start the current riots.

Another thing that frightened him happened a few days ago, when he and the Lord Regent had visited Coldridge Mountain Prison before Corvo's execution, and had made the plan to frame Corvo clear in front of the victims.

Originally, it was a wishful thinking that Corvo would die, and this secret would follow him into the coffin, but who knew that after the former protector had divine help, a salted fish that was already in the steamer would still turn over, and successfully escaped from the Cold Ridge Mountain Prison, and now it has become a thorn in his heart.

Gambol didn't know Corvo for a day or two, he was very familiar with the former protector, and he knew what kind of thing that guy was capable of, so even if he couldn't figure out the specific reason for tonight's attack and riot for the time being, he knew that maybe it was really an assassination operation directed by Corvo himself.

In line with the principle of how to be safe and how to come, Gambol naturally chose to take the underground passage, because the ground part of the mansion is too open, which can provide Corvo with too many angles to shoot, and with this, he can't go underground.

However, no matter how strong Corvo's strength is, it can't compare to the tall guard, thinking of this, Gambol breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to the timely arrival of this tall guard, his life seems to be safe for the time being.

Thinking of this, Gambol slowed down his pace and said in a deep voice: "Adjutant, pass on my order, the first to third special forces of the Iron Mask Overseer will investigate the direction of the alarm and the location of the riot, the delay in the alarm shows that the enemy does not want us to be on guard too early, and immediately investigate the periphery of the mansion, pay attention, the enemy is likely to have taken advantage of the time difference to our vicinity." ”

He paused and continued: "Order the tall guards to move closer to the official residence and follow me along the way after I board the armored vehicle to protect my safety. ”

"Yes!"

Lao Wang's face crept out from the shadows of the alley, leaking only one eye, and the range of his gaze just shone into the position of the tall guard.

The hideous mecha about six meters tall stood steadily on the street at the moment, very close to Gambor's official residence, the four curved shields moved their positions from time to time, changing the defensive area, and the elite pilot who was surrounded by it held a rifle to make a vigilant gesture, Lao Wang couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could still feel that this elite driver was in good spirits, as if the long-distance secondment to the defense did not bring him any fatigue.

Lao Wang sighed a little helplessly, and looked at it from a different angle.

Gambor's High Governor's Mansion is fully operational, and the Iron Mask Overseers patrol back and forth with wolfhounds, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's an iron bucket array.

There was also an armored car parked next to the fountain pool in the courtyard, which, if nothing else, should be a tool for transporting Gambor.

Lao Wang patiently locked his eyes on the fountain, patiently like a hunter in the Xing'an Mountains, now everything is ready, just wait for an opportunity, Gambol is indeed very comprehensive in defense, but they also have a one-hit killing stunt.

It could be ten seconds, or tens of seconds later.

The fountain pool seemed to be faintly shaking, and it was impossible to detect it without looking closely.

Immediately afterwards, the armored car also shook, as if the door was opened, Lao Wang blinked and looked again, this time, he clearly saw the armored car sinking slightly, and now it is certain that someone is getting into the car!

Do it!

Lao Wang shouted, and slammed out of the corner where he was hiding, shaking off the hunter's axe in his hand as he ran, and then the incident happened suddenly, and everyone saw him, but no one came to do anything to Lao Wang.

Wang Mancang was like a sturdy leopard, and he rushed to the side of the tall guard in three or two steps, and this sprint was very important, because he just entered the blind spot of the tall guard's four-door Gatling.

But how could the tall guards leave such obvious flaws, don't forget that the elite pilot also has a large-caliber rifle in his hand, this black hole hole killing weapon instantly locked on Lao Wang, and it was about to shoot out a deadly flame.

The elite pilot is locked on Lao Wang's head, and his years of combat life have made his hands as steady as a rock, and according to the power of the rifle according to the equipment, this gun can directly blast the enemy's head.

"Boom, bang".

Two sounds came before and after, Lao Wang was still on the ground, the tall guard's rifle shot did not hit him, it was not that Lao Wang suddenly had advanced dodging skills, but a quaint two-wheeled carriage somehow suddenly appeared not far from the tall guard, under the drag of the four horses, one accelerated and hit the joint of the tall guard, the support part of the tall guard was hit, and he could not stabilize his body again by shaking, but the rifle shooting was also inaccurate.

"The first three steps of the black rook chess piece personification, the Spring and Autumn Period: the chariot widely used in the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Warring States Period, from 770 BC to 476 B.C., China was in the era of princely disputes, people called the Spring and Autumn Period, at that time, the chariot was the most important strategic weapon, and people could even judge the national strength of a country by the number of chariots they had.

The piece is simulated as a chariot drawn by four horses, which is activated by the selector at a designated location, and when activated, the chariot can launch a charge at a distance of up to 100 meters, and the longer the chariot runs, the greater the effect.

Its effects include the ability to deal damage from 5% to 15% of the vehicle's HP to up to 3 enemies in the vehicle's charge path (depending on the time of contact) and a stun effect for 0.5 to 3 seconds (depending on the duration of the run) on non-mechanical enemies. ”

Bamboo's thin figure appeared in a bush of low streetside shrubs, just now Lao Wang's sudden attack, attracting all the attention, Takenaka took the opportunity to launch a high-speed rush out with Lao Wang's front and back feet, took advantage of the chaos to hide in a bush, saw the tall guard to shoot at Lao Wang, immediately launched the Chinese chess entry ability - "first three moves", this time, the little guy chose a powerful chariot to directly impact the tall guard, not only to save Lao Wang, but also to start the action, to create the greatest chaos.

The elite driver was furious, the tall guard, as the pride of the empire, when did he ever suffer this kind of loss in front of him, the carriage just now, first appeared strangely, hit himself, and then disappeared strangely, not only did he not hit the target, but even the structural value of the tall guard fell a little, this is in the imperial capital of the empire, not on the battlefield of the border plug, in layman's terms, he actually lost blood!

Lao Wang was not idle after escaping a catastrophe, he knew the routine of Takenaka, and when he saw the big carriage coming at a gallop, he had already dodged his position, and at this time he just returned to the blind spot of the tall guard's shooting.

The elite driver above the tall guard was still looking for the whereabouts of the carriage, and Lao Wang's axe came over and hit the tall guard directly on the leg with his back.

The battle data shows 60 points of damage, and the structure bar of the tall guard is only a trace that is barely visible to the naked eye, Lao Wang is staggered, the iron pimple is really hard!

However, the red bar of the elite pilot also appeared at the same time, and sure enough, the health of this mecha class is calculated by a dual system, and the driver's life and the structure value of the mecha are calculated separately.

Lao Wang moved his footsteps, didn't dare to stop for a moment, and began to circle around the tall guard, but he saw that the shot that the elite driver missed just now happened to be on the street lamp pole on the side of the street, and it was directly interrupted, just like breaking a hemp pole, no matter how thick his skin was, it was not possible to stand up to this kind of powerful firearm at this stage.

Gambor's backyard was so noisy that it was completely blown up, and the literacy of the elite iron-faced overseers was vividly displayed at this moment, about a dozen people rushed out of the courtyard and began to support the tall guards, and the remaining dozens of people surrounded the armored vehicles, vigilant around, that is, to prevent the attack on the tall guards is smoke bombs, in fact, someone was going to take the opportunity to kill the High Overseer Gambol.

"What's the situation!" Gambol asked loudly, he was pressed into the armored car alive by the adjutant and a few iron-masked Overseers around him, the time when the old king rushed out to attack was just the time when this guy kicked the car and got off the car, and the instinctive reaction of a few doglegs was to find a safe place to get Gambol in first, so it happened that there was a closed car made of metal in front of him, so what were you waiting for, and he directly pushed the Overseer in.

The lieutenant, who was also in the car, looked out through the observation port of the armored vehicle and replied, "There are Assassins in ambush near the residence, and they are now engaged with the tall guards. ”

"Fighting with the Tallguards?" Gambol repeated in confusion, feeling strange in his heart, the assassins pay attention to killing with one hit, and for the sake of a good opportunity, they would rather wait more, but now they are rushing out with such an open fire, and they are fighting with the most difficult Tallguards, what is this for? Is it Corvo, how could he make any low-level mistakes?

Isn't it him?

"Don't move for the time being, look at the situation outside, how is the battle between the Tallbows and the Assassins?" Gambol thought that it was not appropriate to rush out now, and it would be better to see if the Assassins had any back-up moves.

The adjutant observed and continued: "The Assassin is down, Your Excellency the Overseer, I think he is about to be killed!"

With his words, Wang Mancang flew in the air like a kite with a broken string, and the blood in his mouth spurted wildly.
